truth ABOUT
BRITISH TORY
ELECTION PLOT
.ZinOuieU' Forgery Was
Not EUen Letter

NSPoOlat 70 INC 6atty WorNeTy
LONDON, Nov. 1o.-At last
the great secret is out! The
"Zinoviev letter" that was at
first accepted as genuine by
former premier Ramsay Mac
Donald has turned out to be-
not even a letter.
This amazing exposure Of
the greatest and crudest plot in
British political history will pro-
baby be confined to the Com
munist and labor press.
The stupidity, to say the least, OF
Ramsay. Macdonald in accepting such
a fake yarn as genuine has caused even
his staunchest supports to express
their irritation.
Letter Was FantasyI
The famous "letter" signed by Zinc
view, was not letter, copy or a pic
ture Of letter. There was no such
thing as a letter.
This is the story. One Of the British
spies In Moscow, sent to Scotland Yard
thru the regular channels" a steno-
graphic report of an alleged speech
delivered In Moscow at a Communist
meeting where instructions were given
to the British communists about "over-
throwing the government"
Two weeks later another meeting
was held in London at which the Com
munists went thru the same perform
ance. The spy who attended this meet
in~ and who by the way must have
,e,i working under Arthur Henderson,
took shorthand notes and compared
them with those sent from Moscow.
They tailed. Thus runs the fairy tale.
Then the architects in the foreign
ofice issued ''real' letter with seals
and signatures, purporting to come
from Zinoviev. Macdonald bit the
cheese.
Daily Mall On The Job
No sooner had the foreign ONCE put
the finishing touches to the forged
letter than the Daily Mail had 1t. Then
the tory officials who know all the
tricks Of the trade, told Macdonald in
very friendly manner that unless he
came out Immediately with broad
side against the Soviet government
that his party would be placed In an
embarrassing position. He did and is
now very much embarrassed.
The editor of the New Leader, the
oficial organ Of the independent labor
party shows his irritation over Mac
Donald's stupidity in accepting this
fake as genuine. He writes: "This
charge has been launched, the eIector-
ate alarmed, our own policy destroyed,
and our country's relations with Rus
sia imperilled, if not ruined, on the
faith Of some spy or informer, perhaps
a foreigner, who says he has copied or
overheard this letter. 1t is hard when
ones own leader is concerned to write
of such levity at this, with the frank
indignation 1t deserves"
Has other Worries
The Baldwin cabinet is still invest
igating their own plot and sending out
rumors that the "Zinoviev letter tC
Macdonald" is genuine, nothwithstand
ing the Kings speech, which his ma
charge made Of Zinoviev writing q
letter to Macdonald.
Premier Baldwin is now busy writ
ing the Kings speech. which his ma
jesty will be asked to read at the
opening of parliament. The rising cost
of food is causing Baldwin more un
easiness than the "Zinoviev forgery
which has served its purpose.

States Utilize Surplus
War Material on Roads

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Surplus war material which the gov
eminent refused to sell at junk prices
Is being used in road construction to
great advantage by the states to
whom the material Is transferred, ac-
cording to the bureau Of public roads
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
At the end Of the war there was
left unused I'VE a half-million pounds
Of rough castings Of spare parts for
N of the well-known makes Of mo-
tor trucks. They were badly rusted
and on casual inspection might have
been condemned as worthless junk,
but II vas found that the necessary
machine finishing entirely removed all
rust and pits. A small offer for the
entire lot was made, but was not ac-
cepted. A few months ago the state
highway department Of North Caro-.
lima accepted a portion Of them as
part Of Its share of surplus war mate
rial for use in road building. Surplus
war machinery was used for finishing
the parts for use in trucks also re-
ceived as surplus war material. The
finished parts are worth about rs
cents a pound as compared with an
offer Of one cent a pound for the
parts In the rough.
Other states have followed the ex-
ample Of North Carolina and the entire
supply has been taken up and will
be put to useful service.

BETTER

Of Improved HIGHWAYS

Legislative activities, both state and
national, on behalf Of good roads and
In support Of motor vehicle laws which
are fair to the individual automobile
owner will constitute a prominent
part Of the American Automobile as
sociation's program for the coming
year. according to a statement by
Thomas P. Henry of Detroit, new
president Of the A. A. A., at an In.
formal meeting held at Washington.
National problems will be handled
by the national organization and local
matters affecting the motorist In the
various states will be taken up through
the state association of clubs Of such
state which are affiliated with the
A. A. A.
Highway legislative activities, &C
cording to Mr.. Henry, will include an
Intensive program directed toward
eliminating In SO far as possible the
personnel Of the various highway
boards and commissions from partisan
politics. Decision to concentrate on
this problem was reached after a
study OF statistics which show that
highway departments Of eighteen
states have been radically changed
during the last few months.
~ I'VE feel" said Mr.. Henry, that
the building and maintenance Of high
ways is Of too great Importance to be
interrupted by a complete change in
administration. Adequate highways
are a boon to the whole people, and
partisan politics should play no part
In their construction. We feel that
every highway department should be
operated on a b~usinesslike basis with
the best %obtainable personnel in
charge, in order that the people who
pay for the roads may get the ut
most for their money"
Closer cooperation with other ma
tfonal organizations was also suggest
ed by President Henry as a part OF
the years activities for the A. A. A.
Every cause advocated by the Amer
lean Automobile association" he said,
"ts %altruistic in purpose, and there
IL no reason why we should not have
the cooperation Of every great ma
tional organization in support Of the
measures we advocate.
Good roads benefit everybody, I'M
fair taxes on the automobile affect
every class Of people; measures which
give the motorist a square deal are
Of interest to every national organ
ization. As the activities Of the A.
A. A. are confined solely to advocat-
ing beneficial measures. and as Sec
rotary Wallace so APPLY expressed it,
the A. A. A. has no ak to grind
there is no reason why we cannot CO.
operate with other organizations and
receive in turn their cooperation"

SOrTH DAKOTA NEEDS PEOPLE

Aberdeen News-What South Dako-
Ia needs more Than anything else is
people.
We have everything but population.
The land. the climate, the opportunity
all arc here, but not enough people
come to take advantage of them.
South Dakota could support twice
as many people as are here now and
more than that could find prosperity
and happiness it they would but come.
Think what it would mean to this
state if all the farms were Just half
their size. Did you know that the
avel age farm of a Brown county far
mer is 400 acres? That's a relic OF
the bonanza grain farming days. 1t
is a kind OF farming that isn't the
most profitable. Imagine what it
would mean to Aberdeen and every
town in the country if the farms were
of poo acres and devoted to a divcrSi-
fed program that included the cream
check as we'll as the storage ticket.
Agreed upon the thing that we need
most. South Dakota's success and
growth wiil he fUstcred by doing what
we can to bring that thing about.
People are going somewhere. New
settlers are moving into the country
from other countries and into certain
states from other states. They go
where they are sought for. They go
to places they know about. South

LINDA

. EHIND the liquid beauty Of the
- name Of Linda lies an interest
ing history. Ii is not, as is generally
supposed. a contraction of Melinda or
Belinda. or ever Rosalind, though the
latter came into existence In some
what the same manner Linda Is one
of the serpent" names, which are
found in abundance in Teutonic
nomenclature.
The old German word for snake
was lindwurm, or supple worm. The
visigoths considered the litheness of
the snake a characteristic Of great
beauty and the word survived and
finally reached Spain as Undo or linda.
II was translated TO mean fair wOm-
an" The Spanish linda, which was
try, was brought to other European
nations and to England as a suffix
rather than a complete name.
In the Sixteenth century, the fash
ion arose for attaching 1t to other
feminine appellatives by way of orna-
ment, its significance forming a pretty
compliment TO It's bearer. Etymol-
ogists claim that Rosalind and Rosaline
originated in this n
England, however, liked the sound
of Linda so we'll that the name was
preserved intact and has grown In
popularity both there, and In this
country, where 1t Is especially preva-
lent in the South.
The sapphire is Linda's tallsmanic
gem. 1t is believed to have the power
to enhance her beauty and charm and
protect her from envy. Monday is
her lucky day and 7 her lucky number.

Noted Names Among Those Who
Vote in Affirmative.
ASSURED AID OF LABOR
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 10.-An actors
strike on June 1 has become more
probable as a result Of the Endorsement
of demands for a closed shop by the
Actors Equity Association, which is
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor.
I'VE must now prepare for battle"
said John Emerson, president of the
Equity. at mass meeting yesterday.
ANY new offer must come from the
managers. The dissenting group in
the Producing Managers Association
has said that rather than agree to an
Equity shop they will declare a lock-
out. and from this position they must
recede."
Demand Closed Casts.
The meeting. with two dissenters out
of 1900 actors and actresses present,
passed resolution declaring that after
June 1 no member of Equity would
play in any cast unless all the players
were Equity members.
The Shuberts. who control 20 per cent
OF the city's theaters. have announced
they will accept the Equity shop.
David Belasco, however, has stated he
will shut down all of his theaterS
rather than yield.
Ine dlSSentlng votes at the Equity
meeting were cast by Winifred Leni-
han, now appearing in the title role of
George Bernard Shaw's Saint JOAN
and Richard Bennett. Among those
who voted in the affirmative were Elsie
Ferguson, Laurette Taylor, Jane Cowl
and Ethel Barrymore.
Jane Cowl's Position.
Il am married to a manager. and l
am part manager of my own produc-
tion," said Jane Cowl, but in a COM
petition of this kind Jane Cowl, the
manager, would go down before Jane
Cowl, the actress"
Miss Barrymore telegraphed from
Rochester, n. Y: I'VE must stand to-
gether as We did in 1919. and as we
always will"
If we were in the place of the man
ayers, knowing what we do of the busi-
ness. We would grant the actors what
they are asking" Elsie Ferguson said.
Hugh Frayne assured the Equity of
the support of the American Federation
of Labor.
