Spain Not Finished
With Morocco Yet
Rivera Sails to See

Especial to The DAILY WoRkER)
MADRID, Spain, July 14.-Dictator
Primo de Rivera has left here to in
spect the Moroccan situation, saying
that he will make efforts to reduce
the military burden of that country
upon Spain. The Moorish tribes have
retired for the present after vigorous
fighting in which many Spanish sol
diers were sacrificed to the govern
ment's imperialist policy.
The Spanish outpost at Wady in the
Lau Valley, an extremely isolated To-
cation, has been succored and the
Kobba post relieved. The latter had
less than forty men defending it and
nearly half were killed. Aviators
dropped blocks of ice upon the fort
ress when the water supply was ex-
hausted.
The government is organizing punt
tive expeditions in spite of Rivera's
declaration that the Moroccan troops
would be removed as much as pos
sible.

GALES ELECTED
MEXICAN LEADER
BY BIG MARGIN
Flores Aides Rumble
Revolt Against Vote

Especial to the DAILY .woRKER)
MEXICO CITY, July IN.--President
Obregon's successor willAh General
Plutarco Elias Gales, just as the
present government head wished. The
general was elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority of 41,445 to S,54O votes
for General Angel Flores. Gales
deputies seem to have won also, altho
the results are not fully tabulated =
Some of the Flores supporters have
been making seditious utteranees and
treatening revolt, according to Ramon
Ross, governor of the Federal Dis
trict. Doubtless foreign financial in
terests such as of Britain and the
United States fomented the rebellious
sentiment when their reactionary can
didate failed to be elected. American
oil magnates are none too pleased
with the Oregon regime and were
largely to blame for the futile de la
Huerta rebellion.
Neither Obregon nor Gales offer
much to the workers Of Mexico, but
they support the new Mexican consti-
tuition (1917) that makes all sub-soil
mineral and oil resources state proper
ty and cancels many American and
British oil holdings There has been
rumor that the clause offending for
eign capitalists has been set aside, but
it is unconarmed.

Shirt Contracts

TAMPA, Fla, July Ex-Governor
G. A. Hardee of Florida is criticized
by the Tampa Central Trades and La
Dor assembly for his secretly made
prison contract. The assembly points
out the abuses to which contractors
subject convicts, the insanitary condi-
tions in which the prison products are
made, the unfair competition with
free labor, the loss to the state and
the big profits to the prison contrac-
tors. The contractor gets the shirts
at labor cost to him Of 721s cents a
dozen convict made shirts. Free la
Dor is paid $3.50 dozen for the same

ing class did not come in for any con
sideration, either in the Macdonald
speech or in the conversations with
Herriot that preceded it.
Peace aim Robbery.
Macdonald wants peace in Europe.
So do the capitalists. They want peace
in order to exploit the workers more
intensively. In order to do this they
must have the cooperation of the So
cial democratic leaders who are now
their leading government agents in
the very important countries, France,
and England. But the capitalists can
not agree among themselves. There
fore the Dawes plan is liable to be
wrecked.
In order to put the Dawes plan in
operation a loan of S200,000,000 is
needed. But those who would advance
the money demand guarantees that
action on the part of Germany or
France will not jeopardize their in
vestments. Macdonald wants an
American member on the reparations
commission who would look after the
interests of J. P. Morgan, or instead
one who would act as arbitrator. The
French would not accept this propos-
al, and made a counter-proposal to
hold the matter over until the London
conference scheduled for July 16. This
conference is now facing the dismal
prospect Of failure.
Herrlot Twists.
Since the French elections the pen
delum has swung around to the Poin-
care position, on the Ruhr issue. A
contributing factor to this develop
ment was the feeling among French
industrial and financial circles that
Macdonald, the agent of British capt.
talism double crossed Herriot. On
this issue Herriot nearly lost power.
In order to save his. political neck,
he made a right about face to the
Poincare position and was supported
unanimously by Poincare and his fac
ton.
Macdonald admitted in his Com
mons speech that he went to France
to save Herriot from defeat. He en-
phasized the welcome he received
from the French political parties. He
did not state that the French work
ing classes were hostile to him. The
capitalist parties Of course, were
friendly.
The British socialist premier de-
clared that he warned Herriot against
dilly dallying with the proposed con-
ference to place the Dawes plan on a
working basis and threatened to ask
the treasury to take up the matter
where it was left off by the Lord Cur

Balanced Group.
The financial phase of the problem
has not oyershadowed the other equal
ly important phase, involving the
question Of group composition, proper
balance or proportionate distribution
of mechanical experiences and skill.
This difficult arrangement consisted
in the proper blending together Of
various trades in such proportions as
would go to make up symmetrical
body tremendously constituted. No
part must be sacrificed for the sake
Of the whole; neither must the whole
suffer from lack of parts or be over
burdened with such.

DAWES PLAN MAKES THEM SWEAT

, zon note last August.
So that's that. Curzon and MacDon-
aid. The noble Lord and the plebian
leader, both tools of the master class.
Dawes is the savior of Europe in the
eyes of European socialism. In the
United States, the socialists fight
Dawes, tho feebly, but praise their
comrades here in Europe who are try
ing to deliver the German working
class bound with a golden chain to
the international financiers, who in
this case are the American and Brit
ish bankers who appear to be putting
up united front.
Dividing The Loot.
The big question now, Macdonald
said, in reply to question, is wheth-
er we are going to put the Dawes plan
into operation with full agreement
among ourselves and with the concur
renee of Germany. Which means that
the allies should agree on the division
of the loot and then present a pistol
to the Germans in the form of unani-
nous agreement. Unless this can be
done the necessary $2OO,OOO,OOO loan
will not be forthcoming.
The German bourgeoisie are bitterly
disappointed over the failure of thu
British and German rulers to agree.
The German capitalists are quite will,
ing to accept the Dawes plan, as they
have the cooperation of the socialists
in making the workers pay. But more
that treachery on the part of the vel
low socialists and wisdom on the part
of the capitalists is needed to restore
the health of the capitalist system
which is now on the brink of the
grave.
Davis A WiIsonite.
The nominations on the democratic
and republican tickets have pleased
European capitalist immensely. The
names Of Davis and Dawes are consi-
dered of great significance, from the
standpoint Of American participation
in European affairs. Davis represents
the Morgan-Woodrow Wilson point Of
view, that is official participation in
European affairs politically and finan-
cially, while Dawes represents the
more cautious policy of acting unoffi-
cially for the bankers with the sane
ton of the American government.
Whether Davis or Dawes win, the
bankers will be assured Of American
participation. 1t is significant that the
Paris papers do not mention either
Coolidge or Bryan. Both are consi-
dered nonentitfes, serving only politi-
cal agencies, Coolidge, because he was
about the only one of Harding's cabi-
net that escaped the oil splash and
Bryan because he is listed as pro-
gressive and may hold the Ku Klux
Khan vote for Davis.

after giving the courageous deputy
unsigned warnings.
Two Billion Lire Lost.
There is 2,000,000,000 lire missing
from the Italian treasury and no Of
fetal record of it is left. Much of this
may be the money disbursed by fas-
cisti officials and not authorized by
the high court Matteotti tells in his
pamphlet, zone Year of Fascism, -
that on September 81, 1928, the fas-
cisti gave 1SS,OOO,O 900 lire to a big in
dustrial capitalist Of Triest. This was
supposedly loan" for S5 years with
8 or A percent interest.
The big shipping concern Of Cosul-
ich was given 100000 lire because
Of its friendliness to fascism and for
financial assistance given the fascist
in crushing the workers.
Jobs For Dubs.
The Italian government under fas-
cist direction purchased" $4,000
shares of stock in oil refneries at
Fiume, spending S,2o0,44S lire. Fas-
cist Commentators Rosboch needed a
job. Other experts" who knew no
more than he about refining oil were
sent as assistants: Massimo Rocca,
whose American alias is Libero Tan
credi and who was one Of the most
violent Of anarchists, Dino Grandi, and
Iginio Magini.
None of these fascist loans" were
sanctioned by the Corte del Cont, but
the money is gone. The fascist thugs
have been living high.
Paid Anti-Labor Capitalists.
The court repudiated another "loan'
Of 2s.S35,996 lire to the shipbuilder
Orlando di Livorno, another vicious
anti-labor industrial capitalist.
The Facta government, which was
in power soon after the war ended
appointed a commission to investigate
the tremendous war gratis of Italy
which were only slightly less sensa
tional than those of United States
profiteers. In the few months Of its
existence, this commission had re-
turned to the Italian treasury some
100, 100000 lire; but Benito Musso-
lini, riding into the dictatorship by
grace of the industrial lords, the war
profteers of Italy, eliminated the com.
mission. Mussolini decreed almost at
once that anyone who should make
revelations of war graft would be
severely punished.
No Attacks Allowed.
During the last few days Mussolini
has sent out a circular letter, says
Presi, to all the projects of Italian
towns, telling, them not to permit any
attack against the government to be
printed or uttered and to Immediately
suppress any paper that publishes
anti-fascist utterances. 1--WE have in
dulged them too much" was Mus
solini's phrase.
