HUS HE'D FRAUD
Brewer Exposure Not
News in N. D.
Especial to The Daily worker)

ABERDEEN, S. D., Feb. a.
The exposure of the bold duplica-
tons made by Brewer at Washington
is not new in this part of the United
States. Four years ago the coming
summer an exposure of this matter
was made in the Square Deal, Nom
Partisan League and Labor daily
paper, published in this city.
Judge Speaks; Is Canned.
The authority for the facts was
given by Judge McCarter, auditor of
the treasurer department at Wash
ington, during the Wilson admins
tration. McCarter, according to his
own statement, had made noise
about the fraud in Washington, for
which he was let out of office. He
claimed to have taken the matter to
Royal G. Johnson, republican mem
Der of congress from the second
South Dakota district. johnson re-
fused to move. He went to Sterling,
republican senator and johnson, DEM
ocratic senator. He went from place
to placec trying to get assistance to
bring the bond swindlers to account,
but he could get no help from either
republican or democrats.
Honesty Labelled Insanity.
The matter was passed off in this
state by those Sin the know" with the
statement that McCarter was nut
ty." The acts as given by him were
printed in the Square Deal paper,
and also in the South Dakota Leader,
official weekly of the Non-Partisan
League. None Of the republican or
democratic politicians whimpered,
and the press of the State was as
silent as the tomb.
The fact that Mellon and his
friends are trying to hush the matter
up, indicates what was then sup
posed: that the duplicate bonds, in
billions of dollars, were in the hands
Of the big fnanciers of the country
to such an extent that both political
parties were unwilling to expose the
criminals and cancel the bonds.

DAWES EXPERTS
CLAIM GERMAN
PROBLEM SOLVED
Says World Must Alb
sorb German Products
Especial to The Daily worker)

BERLIN, Feb. 14.-Gen. Charles
G. Dawes and his committee OF IN
ternational experts were on their
way to Paris today, convinced they
have found a plan whereby the allies
can collect Preparations and Germany
can be rehabilitated financially.
The plan, Dawes believes, will be
satisfactory to both France and
Germany if viewed from a strictly
business viewpoint. 1t will enable
the allies to get reparations, pre-
supposing that Germany is allowed
economic control Of the Ruhr and
Rhineland.
Under the plan outlined by Dawes
committee, the maximum amount OBJ
tainable as Preparations will depend
upon the extent to which the world
absorbs German products.
Before his departure, General
Dawes visited Chancellor Marx and
thanked him for Germany's coopera-
ton in providing material necessary
to the committees investigations.
Marx replied that he was glad the
experts had had the opportunity for
thoro study Of the German fnan-
cial situation.
Full details Of the plan were not
available before the committee left
Berlin, but some of the features were
made known. They include:
/. New gold backed currency, sup
planting land mortgages now backed
by the rentenmark must be intro
duced in Germany.
2. A total circulation Of five bill
lions of marks must be provided, al
tho temporarily a smaller sum, pos
sibly three billion, will suffice.
8. This currency must be backed
by so per cent gold, or the equiva-
lent.
A. The German budget must be
balanced; according to the experts
this should not prove difficult. Ger
many probably can manage it her
self thru readjusted taxation, but
if she doesn't she must be helped
by outside loans. It is believed a
large part of the stock Of the new
bank could be subscribed in Amer
lea.
s. Germany must be freed OF re-
strictions now hampering production
and export.

AS INTELLECTUAL
TONY COMSTOCKS
Sit on Committees and
Spread Scab Views
BY ]. E. SNYDER
Especial to The Daily Worker)

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Feb. IA
The teachers Of Oklahoma are
compelled to attend the state teach
ers' association.
The American Legion was in evil
dence at the Association meeting this
year. Members of the Legion were
on most all programs that pertained
to citizenship, the elimination of IL
literacy, physical training and the
general sessions where all the teach
ers assembled together.
Chamber of Commerce Represented.
There were no labor representatives
of any kind on the program. Our
schools therefore are completely in
the hands Of the academic psychology
and allowed to be so by the indiffer-
ence Of the labor unions of the state.
Naturally therefore the Chamber of
Commerce which had the teachers
entertainment in hand was able to
form the programs so that all sug-
gestions for their open shop program
could be injected without the teach
ers being aware that propaganda was
rampant in their many sessions.
When you realize that this same
Chamber of Commerce of Oklahoma
is backing schools for the training
of open shop bricklayers and other
building trades mechanics it is easy
to surmise that they will never miss
opportunities of this kind to put
their propaganda across.
Fights Agents of Darkness.
In other lines, however, the associa-
ton does splendid work. The depart
ments of science, geography, history
offer opportunities for professors to
meet and compare notes and to devise
ways and means to defeat the aims
Of those who would darken the men
tai horizon with the inquisition
against science.
1t is high time that labor awakens
to the insinuating religious freaks
that are rising, in this country. to
fight science. Every labor movement
should organize to combat those who
would stamp out the progress that
has been made in the public school
and colleges for the advancement of
science. The public school belongs
to the working people. Let it not be
stolen from us.
