who at the same time flattered the

POInCarG Threats Ignored by
Finance Commission
Special to The Daily worker


PARIS, Mar. 9.-The French
Foreign Office has issued its
long awaited. Yellow Book,
with documents showing the
French negotiations for her Sc
ourity, during and after the
peace conference.
The documents show that
France envisaged detachment
Of the Rhineland from Ger
many and creation Of an indie
pendent state, under the
League Of Nations.
Despite the utmost efforts of the
government to uphold 1t, the franc
crashed to new lows as the money
market opened here Saturday.
At 1920 a. M, dollars were quo
ted at 26 francs 80 centimes each
and the pound sterling at 115 francs,
both new low records for French
paper money.
There was wild excitement as buy.
eys and sellers scrambled IN the
market and quotations fuctuated
rapidly.
Ignoring Premier Poincare's de-
lnands and threats the finance COM
mission yesterday decided by vote
of 18 to z to recommend rejection
Of several degrees in the government
financial project.
This is regarded as a serious blow
TO the Poincare government. The
premier declared Friday he would
resign. unless the senate commission
approved the DEGREES before Tues
day.
Premier Poincare summoned the
cabinet to meet Immediately to de-
eide upon its course Of action.
Premier Poincare appeared before
the senate finance commission this
afternoon and demanded it report out
the financial projects exactly as they
were voted by the chamber in time
for the senate to discuss them on
Thursday.
Otherwise, the premier said, the
cabinet stands to resign.
Poincare re-affirmed the necessity
for the senate's voting the financial
projects as quickly as possible to halt
the fall Of the franc.
Voting Of the projects will inn
prove the money market immediate
~, he said.
The premier previously demanded
that the commission report out the
financial program by Tuesday, but
the senate adjourned until Thursday.
The subcommittee of experts I'M
der Owen d. Young of the United
States met yesterday and resumed
discussion of the question of allied
control of German industry and
transportation, in connection with
the general program to determine
German ability to pay reparations.
The main committee continued un-
official discussion of the plan to
create a German bank under allied
supervision. 1t was believed final
touches to the scheme will be COM
pleted Monday or Tuesday.

''BOK HUMBUC"
KICKED BEFORE
CHICAGO CROWD
Leads to War, Says
Willard in Debate

1.-THE League of Nations is based
on war and leads to war;" declared
Oswald Garrison Willard in an attack
on the Great Box Humbug", which
endorses the League, before large
audience which gathered in Stude-
baker Theatre yesterday noon to
hear his debate with James J. For
stall, Chicago attorney and disciple
of Woodrow Wilson.
The debate was held under the
auspices of the nationalist Univer-
sity after an Introductory talk by
Percy Ward, who urged the audience
to read the DAILY WORKER.
The admirer of Wilson made plea
for Americas early entrance into the
League because it twas step for
ward, tended to stop war, created a
feeling Of "good wills, thru it's con-
ferences and gave America a chance
to inject her ideals" into Europe.
Russia Peculiar.
Nearly all nations are now in the
League, stated its propaganda, ex-
cept Germany and Russia where
conditions are peculiar" and Turkey,
Mexico, America. In two years Amer
lea, Germany and Turkey will be in
he prophesied, saying nothing about
Russia.
The Editor of the Nation riddled
all these arguments. Accepting the
League meant accepting the Treaty
of Versailles, 1.-THE most infamous
document ever devised by man..
The League 'legalizes" the insti-
tuition of war and makes war com
pulsory, he continued In all its years
of existence it has never taken a
courageous stand on any vital issue.
He flayed the Leagues surrender

where the Fascist dictator was allow
ed to get away with 100000 lire
from the Greeks after his lombard
ment Of the Island of Corfu.
Tyranny In Saar.
Tyranny in the Saar was cited by
the pacifist editor. In that region
under the domination of the League
! there are laws fixing penalties up to
five years for speech or writing
casting discredit" on the League and
its member nations; insulting" the
League; "criticising" the governing
commission or the League in the
Saar and adding the further punish
ment of withdrawal of certain civil
rights and pension privileges.

ThGIU Hats Lumber
Work in Wisconsin,
Minnesota Fields

SUPERIOR, Wis, March 9.-Lum-
Der companies in various parts Of
Wisconsin and Minnesota report that
hauling operations in many places
are practically at a standstill. The
unusually mild weather recently has
melted the snow, breaking the iced
roads, therefore crippling activity in
this district. Unless more snow
comes the cut logs will have to be
left until next winter in places where
summer hauling is impossible. This
will mean log shortage this summer
in the sawmills and unemployment
The early cessation of numbering in
many places has added to the present
unemployment problem in Wisconsin
according to state employment bureau
reports.
