REAL AMERICANS REPUDIATE THIS

The GREAT mass of people are absolutely dis
ate has so far cost the taxpayers $325,O0O. Ii
the taxpayers could see any good return from thla
expenditure there would be no objection. SO far,
dragging bandits, jail birds, convicts and noted
bunco artists before the senatorial nquisltors has
not accomplished much except to get the names
Of prominent republicans, and accidentally, about
an equal number of prominent democrats into the
linelight. The process of scandaIzing men into
retirement is new system developed by the pres
ent congress- Using convicts and discredited
element Of society to do it. At least the better
element in congress have begun to realize that
congress has scandalzed all America in the eyes
Of the world and have accomplished not one other
thing. God forbid that America should be cursed
with these so-called leaders,
The great mss of peoeple are absolutely dis
gusted with this irresponsible congress and re-
gardless of party are hoping the country can soon
be put back on a home-loving, economical basis.

STEEL TRUST MAY
Be POIN C ARES
FIRE NCH TEAPOT
Radical Gives Reason
for Sickly Franc

PARIS, Feb. ia miniature Tea
pot Dome squirted its political poi
son on Premier Poincare when a
radical orator mounted the tribune
in the chamber of deputies and wav-
ing letter in his hand, revealed the
reason for the lettering franc which
is now giving MARKHAM shivers to
French fnanciers.
The terminating letter was from
one of the branches of the Comite des
FORCES, the French steel trust, to its
customers demanding payment in
pounds sterling for orders,
Humbert de Wendell, the head Of
the trust that controls two-thirds of
the steel production Of Europe and
is considered mainly responsible for
the occupation of the Ruhr, rose to
reply to the radical deputy. He
explained that he did not keep the
pounds sterling acquired by export,
but sold them for francs with which
to pay his workmen.
This statement Infatuated the left
side Of the chamber and a rough
house took place. 1t was pointed
out that the French millionaires
were following in the footsteps of
the German magnates, Herren, Stin-
mes, Wolff and Thysen, IN selling
abroad at dollar and pound sterling
prices.
As Poincare is as closely connec-
ted with Wendell as Calvin Coolidge
is with Fall, DENLY and Daugherty,
this scandal will, it is believed. has
ten the French premier's downfall.
This is the first time a scandal of
this kind occurred in French indus
try. 1t is not surprising that the
franc should totter if those who own
France show no confidence in the
stability Of their own currency.
If the premier succeeds in put
ting thru his taxation bill he may
last until the elections in the spring,
but it is the general opinion that as
soon as the French workers and
peasants get a chance to vote on
his government they will hand him
his hat.

Pension Scheme on

to Start July Ist
lRr The Fsderst,d Pre.sl

F MONTREAL, Feb. 1S.-July first
is the provisional date set for initia-
ton of the pension scheme which has
been under negotiation between the
Montreal Tramways Co. and local
officers Of the Amalgamatcd Assoc
citation of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees. The pension is TO
be based, not on the wage of the in
dividual, but on the average wage
paid to all employees.
On this average eacn pensioned
employe will get per cent for each
year Of his service. For example, If
he has worked for rs years and the
average wage is $500, his pension
will be $3.50 per annum. The age at
which the pension begins has not
been fixed; the company has pro-
posed so years Of age; while the
men suggest any age after 20 years
service. The plan provides for half
pay during sickness. If an employee
dies, the widow is to get $500 if he
has served three months, plus 500
for each years employment up to a
maximum Of $4,000.

japanese Loan May
Reach the Figure
of $3.50, OOO,OOO
By FREDERICK KUN

totaH Correspondent OF the FEDERATED ffesal
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The inter-
national loan to Japan, the bulk of
which will be foated by Wall Street,
as reported in The Federated Press,
will be placed on the market this
week and will probably total about
$250,000 900. The deal is stated to
be the largest venture in financing
ever undertaken, beyond internal
government loans.
The share of American banking
houses will be divided between j. P.
Morgan & Co., Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
the National City bank, the First
National bank, and lesser monopolists
of credits. An agent of the Morgan
group has been engaged in CONVEX
sations with London fnanciers, with
the result that seven British bank
ing corporations have been enlisted in
the enterprise. Kengo Mort, a fl
nancial delegate of the Toxic gov
eminent, has been in New York. con-
GLIDING the transaction which will re-
cast international relations and
transform the foreign policy of the
United States government.
Informed observers here assert that
this colossal investment Of American
private capital in Japan will cause
a precautionary speeding up Of con-
struction in United States naval
yards. It is thought likely, more
over, that Americas naval and mill
tary contingents in China will be
reinforced, as a hint of the govern
ment's determination to safeguard
these augmented American invest
ments in the far east.
It may be expected, then, that
the ordinary American taxpayer will
soon feel the effect Of this loan in
increased expenditures for the naval
and military establishments. To this
effect must be added the implication
that the government at Washington
is prepared to defend by armed force
If the emergency arises, the privi-
leges Of Wall Street abroad.
1t is generally believed that
chances Of German loan here are
diminished, now that the American
market is to be saturated with the
issue of Japanese bonds.

MANY FIRETRAP.
HOOLS FOUND
IN new YORK CITY
Show Conditions Rotten
in 40 Buildings

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-New
York, like Chicago, has scores of fire
trap public schools. Sanitary con-
ditions and fire hazards in many of
the schools here are as bad as those
described in the DAILY WORKER
survey of Chicago schools.
The joint committee Of education
has just completed a survey Of more
than forty schools where they de-
clare conditions are rotten. The re-
port points out lack of fire preven-
ton, bad lighting, overcrowding, and
unsanitary conditions.
The survey completed is the fourth
made by the committee. The com
mittee was able by repeated check
ups to get needed repairs in some
schools. In the fourth survey the
same schools were visited but a new
group Of thirteen schools were added.
The survey indicated that while
the forty schools which had been
surveyed four times were getting re-
pairs, the thirteen school buildings
added in the last survey were in very
bad condition. The committee said
that this indicated that an effort had
been made because of publicity but
no real concern was manifested about
the general condition Of the schools.
Schools surveyed for the first time
this year where the committee feels
there is urgent need for better condi-
ton are:
"Manhattan-P. S. so; Menace to
health, fire protection nil, sanitary
conditions bad. P. S.-26: Sani-
tary facilities poor, everything in bad
repair, factory next door bad situa-
ton. P. s. 80: Shocking sanitary
conditions, lighting bad, surrounding
streets dangerous.
"Brooklyn-P. S. %: Disastrously
overcrowded, bad general repair.
Annex to P. S. II: Disreputable old
ferry boat, in worst possible condi-
ton; sanitation especially bad, An
mex to P. S. 33, formerly annex to
P. S, II; Old structure built around
court, unsafe wooden balcony and
shaky wooden stairs the only exit
leading into court, which in turn has
but one small exit-possible fire trap,
"Bronx-P. S. ID: Serious over
crowding, lighting bad, no play space.
P. S. 10: Artificial lighting bad, lacks
modern sanitation, garbage is
dumped opposite school by neighbors
and left several days at a time"
