CATHOLICS IN
BELGIAN COUP
Coalition Endangered
BY Democrat"
BY A. HABARU.
Especial TO The Daily Worker)

BRUSSELS, April 8.-Because Of
the contemplated united front of the
Belgian Socialists and the Flemish
Catholics it is the general opinion
here that the third Theunis cabinet
will soon fall.
In outlining his policies the prime
minister of the new cabinet declared
IN favor of more unity between the
Alhes In order to come to a favorable
solution of the PREPARATIONS problem.
He favored adjournment of all oues-
tons which would be able to divide
the Catholic-Liberal coalition.
New Alignment.
The new government, tho it can
not escape the influence of French
imperialism, has declared for q close
Anglo-Belgian collaboration. Hymans.
the new minister of foreign affairs.
has written to Ramsay Macdonald in
the most friendly spirit. The first
step OF the new cabinet is significant
IN view of the participation of the
former government in the French Or
cupation of the Ruhr.
Attic the Belgo- French economic
agreement has been rejected by Par
lament, and is now abandoned by the
new government, French influence re-
mains considerable in this country.
French banking interests are develop
ing daily in Belgian affairs. The
newly discovered rich coal fields of
the Flemish Kempen are already
partly under French capitalist con-
troll. The Belgian Government il tied
to France by large former loans and
by secret military agreement, SO it
is certain that any Belgian cabinet
cannot openly adopt a policy which
would be in opposition to the French.
Belgian state finances are closely
dependent on payment of the repara-
tons. But as the occupation Of the
Ruhr was not very productive. the
tendency of the new cabinet is to
bring about an honorable" end to
the occupation and to provoke a gen
eral settlement of the Preparations.
Socialist-CAtholie Combine Probabl.
The bourgeoisie is divided and it
was very difficult to form new
coalition. The opposition of the
Socialist Party remains complete, and
the Flemish Catholics do not agree
that the language question in the
army should be adjourned. Therefore
these two are now preparing the
way for taking power after the gen
eral elections next year. Vandervelde
is expected to realize his ambition of
minority democratic" government
with the help of his Catholic friends.
Perhaps this conservative coalition.
which is in close touch with the Mac
Donald Labor government of Great
Britain, will open the eyes of the
workers Of these two countries to the
conservative character of the social
democrats.

Proper Method Of Curing Fish
 For fox feed
(By Chas. Francis, Craig Alaska)

Some facts that everyone in the game should know:
 That the fish should be as fresh | possible, washed clean and allowed to hang in a smoke house at least twelve hours before building a fire. A small fire for the first two days will give the heavier ones a chance to harden up. This will eliminate any chance of their falling out Of the skin as they quite often do if too much heat is used.
 It is an important point to remem- Der that one of the following kinds of wood should be used Alder. crab apple or willow; the latter being best on account of its flavor. How ever, alder is usually more easily obtained, as it grows abundant! around beaches.
 Of course, this is not news to some, perhaps the majority. But l have sometimes tasted dried salmon that had been cured with old rotten cedar drift wood, spruce and hem lock boughs, any old thing to make heat and smoke, which gives the salmon a resinous taste that is very unpleasant. l have wondered that the poor foxes would eat 1t at all With very little, and in many cases no more work, the alder could be used, and it insures a nice. pure, clean-flavored product. suitable to the most delicate taste.
 Furthermore, have observed that the hump back salmon, being smaller, seem to cure more easily than dog salmon, and I am sure the foxes prefer the hump back salmon
