RALLY TO COMPANY'S AID.
Electric Motor Stockholders Buy
ing Up Note Issue.

BALTIMORE, March 20 (SpeciaD.-
Stockholders of the Steinmetz Elec-
trio Motor Car Corporation are re-
spending literally to the call Of the
company for additional funds, ac-
cording to Herbert A. Wagner. chair
man of the board. Mr.. Wagner said
that between $4,000 and $4,000 had
been advanced thus far on the COM
pany's z per cent three-year notes,
and that additional subscriptions
were coming in every day.
The company seeks to raise $4,000
through sales of per cent three-year
notes to shareholders. The raising of
the fund in this way will enable the
corporation to negotiate on better
terms with other interests for an ad-
ditional loan of $4,000 at per cent.
This total Of 100000 will pay off all
the company's debts and provide it
with $260,000 working capital.
With this capital, the management
claims, the corporation will be in a
position to accept orders now turned
down because it cannot finance the
purchase Of material required in it's
business.

my conviction that had we attempted

there would have been no adequate ac-

For that reason we are deeply in

The Investment Bankers Associa-

The shadow of the heavy hand Of

| Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
TEHERAN, Persia, July 27-The
already serious feeling against Amer
Jeans which existed before the un-
fortunate death of Mai Imbrie, U. S.
vice consul here, has been greatly ag-
gravated by the present turn of
events.
Several hundred people have been
thrown into jail on the pretext that
they participated in the crowd which
set upon the American vice-consu1
when he rode into their ranks wear
ing a Persian turban and attempted
to photograph the multitude conduct
ing "a ceremony at the sacred foun-
tain. It is a misdemeanor in Persia
to photograph a native woman and
there were many in the crowd at the
fountain.
Where Did The Money Cor
The Medjilis, parliament, had pre-
viously been criticizing the American
financial advisers to Persia, headed
by Mr., Millspaugh, for failing to pro-
vide real reforms in the state fnanc-
es. The budget for the past year
showed great deficit. Bad prac-
tees, unbusiness-Iike methods as well
as defective bookkeeping were found
to exist in the financial department.
Millspaugh could give no satisfac-
tory explanation when requested to
do so by the budget committee Of
the Mediilis.
The American financial advisers did
all they could to hamper the Persian
merchants who wished to send goods
to the recent Baku Fair, Russia. The
consignments were held up on the
Tavris railway, altho the owners had
all the necessary permits and visas.
The Americans are still hindering
Persian trade with Soviet Russia.
Secret Service Agent.
Vice-consul Imbrie had been sta.
toned in Petrograd in 1918 Later he
directed American military intelli-
gence work from Viborg, Finland, and
made five personal trips into Russia
disguised as a peasant. Imbrie's Sc
cret service record was known here
and the Persian workers looked on
him with suspicion.
Martial law reigns here now and
all voiced opposition is Immediately
stifled. The government has been
prevailed upon by foreign influence
to suppress all papers criticizing the
situation and to give "agitators
against law and order" capital punish-
ment.

| ing against both imperialist groups.
The death OF Major Imbrie, the Ameri-
can consul who has for years served
as scavenger in the most dangerous
situations for the Yankee imperialists,
having served in Leningrad in 1918,
may have been occasioned as reported
by his attempt to photograph a relig-
ious gathering. Yet the incident is
typically indicative OF the deep-rooted
hatred of American and other foreign
exploiters by the Persian people.
Philippine lslands--The search for
oil conducted in the Philippines for
more than five years by the Standard
Oil Company Of. California has not
produced satisfactory results The
American auditor Wright has perman-
emily suspended the Philippine annual
independence fund of half million
pesos. The senate of the Philippine
legislature is bitterly assailing Cen
eral Wood for his usurpation of pow
ers, particularly in reference to GER
tain appointments in Mindanao and
Sulu.
Thieves Fight In Roumanla.
RoumanIa-Fresh evidence is pill
ing up Of a sharp conflict between
America and Roumania over the
United States oil interests in the
Balkan country. The Standard Oil
| Company alone has more than seventy
million dollars invested in Roumania.
Under the new law the Standard Oil
property and the Roumanian debt to
the Baldwin Locomotive Company are
in danger Of loss and reputation.
American Minister Peter Augustus
Jay has just hurried to Washington to
report on his efforts to help Messrs.
Otis and Edwards, the two Standard
Oil agents in Roumania, where the
American corporation operates under
the name Of The Romano Americana
Company. The new Roumanian law
requires sixty per cent of all foreign
companies in the country to be owned

U. 5. Swallowing Canada.
canada-More than two and half
billion American dollars are now in
vested in Canada. About half of this
vast sum is in bonds and the re-
mainder in stock holdings, foreign
mortgages, industrial enterprises, and
private loans. There are now more
than seven hundred American branch
factories in Canada. Nearly twenty
per cent Of all American foreign in
vestments are in the Dominion.
The influence of American capital
lists in Canadian politics is growing
at q menacing rate. Today the most
pressing question confronting Can

enact a law providing for reciprocity
and free trade with the United States.
U. s. A1resslons in China.
Climatic United States navy is
now spending more than three million
dollars year In maintaining patrol
of naval boats on the Yangtze river.
1t was the pressure of American CAPT
talists thru the United States .diplo-
matte channels that has compelled the
native authorities at Canton to launch
campaign of terror against all
Chinese who are opposed to the plumb
ering Of their country by foreign In
terests. For instance, all Chinese en-
tering concessions area on the Island
of Shamen after nine p. m. are re-
quired to produce a permit with a pho
tograph Of the bearer.
1t is the determined refusal of the
Southern Republican Chinese leader,
DR.. Sun Vat Sen to yield to American
capitalist pressure that has lined up
the United States government behind
the reactionary north China puppet
monarchists who are ready to hand
over the tremendous natural resources
of the country to the foreign capt.
talists.
U. S. Finance Rules Cuba.
cuba-The amount Of American
money invested in Cuba is now sg-

lars. American capitalists own sugar
properties valued at three quarters
of billion dollars; railroads at hun
bred and ten million dollars; public
utilities at a hundred million dollars;
realty at eighty million dollars; tobac-
co and cigars at fifty million dollars.
Besides, American investors also hold
about hundred and ten million dol
lars Of Cuban government bonds.
Inspired by American shipping in
terests which have an investment OF
more than ten million dollars in ter
minal facilities and docks, President
zayas has just enacted a law provid-
ing for compulsory administration of
all industrial disputes involving the
dock workers of Cuba. This means
that our employing class has robbed
one of the most important sections of
