DISARMAMENT
CHALLENGE Up
TO MACDONALD
Trotsky Says Souiets
Will Come Half Way
BY ANISE.

Federated Press staff Correspondent
MOSCOW. (By Mail. JAS
a fitting observance of the 10th
anniversary of the world war,
the labor and liberal govern
ments of Great Britain and
France should disarm, suggests
Leon Trotsky to Ramsay Mac
Donald and Eduard Herriot.
The Red army of Russia is en-
tireIy willing To- follow such a
lead.
Trotsky's statement was
called forth by a question in the
British parliament about the
strength of the Red army, to
which Assistant Minister of
War Attlee replied that 1t con-
sisted Of 100000 men. This
reached Trotsky with a ques-
ton as to the facts. He an
swered:
1.-THE assistant minister of war mis-
leads by his statement not only the
member who asked him, but the pub
lie opinion of England, and even of
her neighboring countries, which is
very important.
Size of Red Army.
"At the end of 1920 the Red army
had 100000 men; this was the high
est point. On the LIST of September,
1921, it contained 100000 men. On
the list Of September, 1922, the Red
army had $4,000 men. Thus, over
two years ago the Red army was
much smaller than the figures given
in England.
"At the beginning of 1923 further
reductions we're undertaken which
brought the Red army to $4,000, in
GLIDING land, sea and air forces. The
actual number In the Red army June
l, 1924, was 562.967 men, only little
over half the number given in the
British house of commons.
Although we consider that 100000
is rather small considering our from
tiers, extent of territory and the size
of our population, yet we do not hold
even this number fixed. We have sew
eral times proposed to work out a
practical program for simultaneous
limitation of armament by the govern
ments of Europe and of the whole
world.
A Good Celebration
"If the combined governments of
Macdonald and Herriot would take
the initiative for the limitation of ar
marnent even for Europe only, we
would meet them in every way. We
think that such a role would be most
appropriate for the approaching 10th
anniversary Of the beginning OF the
imperialist world war;"

IS GIVEN AWAY
Generals Letter to Boss
Made Public

Now we know what the
Illinois national guard is for. 1t
is kept going primarily to shoot
hell intoNthe union coal miners
of the state.
No Communist agitator but
the commanding general of the
33rd division is authority for
the statement. He admits it and
drives it home to one of the big
downstate coal companies. He
clinches it further by an appeal
to the Chicago national guard

General Gives Plot Away.
Maj. Gen. Milton J. Foreman, the
man who had charge Of the state
military investigation of the, Herrin
mine war in 1922, gives away the
state militia gag in a hot letter to a
coal company Official one of whose
employees had resigned from the
guard just before the 1924 training
period.
The Franklin County Coal Co. has
mines just north of Williamson coun-
ty where the luckless attempt to run
non-union mines during the 1922 coal
strike was made. Edwin B. Keller,
vice-president of the company, who
had Endorsed the resignation of his
employe from the national guard, re-
ceived the following plainspoken tip
from Gen. Foreman:
g" may be permitted in passing
to express my very great surprise
that, in the light of past events,
coal company whose mines are
located as yours are does not ap-
precate the wisdom and see it's
way clear in its own interests, If
for no other reasons, to arrange for
and insist upon the performance by
it's employees of their military duty"
The militia general tells one of his
real employers, coal magnate, that
the national guard exists to shoot
down union miners and help the
bosses by bayoneting union labor in
time of trouble.
Keeps EmpIoye In Service.
Operator Keller saw the light In
his reply he quickly passed the buck
to the white-collar employe, who, he
said, had asked him to write the
T letter indorsing the resignation,
Keeler made full confession of faith
in addition. Il am a strong partisan
of the guard" he wrote to the gene
raj. "As far as our company is con-
cerned he can take the two weeks
from work readily. In fact, l am sure
he will reconsider his resignation"
The coal miners of Illinois may be
sure that he will. The reason given
for the resignation was personal
welfare and that of the Franklin
County Coal Co." The welfare of the
K company now demands, after the
generals pointed lesson, that the re-
signation be withdrawn. And the
company's welfare has the right OF

Source OF Modern Drama.

Inc morality play was first pro
duced i'll England in the Fifteenth
century, and growing out of church
pageants, gave rise to modern drama.
In the morality plays the characters
personified abstract IDEAS, such as vir-
tue, vice, wealth, power knowledge,
Jealousy, ignorance, etc The produc-
tons were meant. to teach a needed
reform, and quite often were dull, says
the Detroit News. The vices, better
understood by humanity than the yir-
tues, played many tricky pranks and
furnished the humorous element The
clowns and fools, snperbly created by
Shakespeare, were a development of
the vices of the morality play.

Department Makes Ruling
"You have made a request upon
this department to permit George
Remus, accompanied by a represen-
tatiVe of your committee, to make q
rather extended trip to various
points in the United States for the
alleged purpose of securing checks
and documents which, he says, he
has, and which he insists that he
will not produce for you unless he be
permitted to go for them himself,
refusing to authorize either his wife
or his attorney to bring them.
THE attorney general was oblig-
ed to take a train shortly after re-
ceiVing your telephone request, and
he asked me to take this matter up
with you for him.
The statutes of the United States
provide a method for allowing priS-
oners to leave the prison walls upon
a writ ad testificandum issued by
a federal court, and inasmuch as
these requests are likely to arise
again, it is best both for the COM
mittee, and for the Department of
Justice, to adhere strictly to the
statute.
This department Volunteers to
assist you by every means at our
command to secure documents from
Mr.. Remus, but we do not feel JUS
tiled in allowing a man who, dur
ing the past two and one-half years
in which We have been prosecuting
him, has brought pressure to bear
upon every public official he could
approach in an effort to secure ia.
