GERMAN RESOURCES
WILL SECURE LOAN
Preservation Of Treaty Rights
Also Agreed on in Case
Germany Defaults.

LOndon.-The committee on sane
tons of the inter.allied conference
agreed unanimously on two important
principles to govern the action of the
allies in event of possible default by
Germany under the Dawes Preparations
plan, namely, to insure investors in
the loan to Germany of priority en-
all German resources in event Of such
default, and to preserve the rights Of
the countries signatory to the Yer.
sailles treaty.
With this agreement, in the opinion
Of the American, British and French
delegates, long step has been taken
toward the success of the conference
upon which such high hopes have
been raised for the economic restora-
ton of Europe.
At the opening of the conference
1t was generally recognized that the
proposed loan to Germany was the
crux of the Dawes plan, and after
only four days deliberations it was
possible for the committee to agree
that in any contingency, including de-
fault and resultant sanctions, the
holders of the loan should have prior
ity claim to the assets Of Germany.
With this is coupled an agreement
that the protocol to make the con-
ference action effective shall reserve
all the rights enjoyed at present by
those countries which signed the
treaty of Versailles.
France halls the latter decision as
distinct victory for her. and takes
it to mean that she still has the right
to separate action should Germany
default.
The Americans and British share
in the French enthusiasm over the
fact that the unanimous agreement
has carried the work of the confer
ence so far forward, although they do
not share the inference that France
is ready to draw from the understand
ing.

BOY MURDERERS
PLEAD GUILTY

Chicago, Ill.-The fate of Nathan
Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb, indict-
ed for the kidnapping and murder Of
14-year.old Robert Franks rests Gin
the mercy Of the court" as the result
of plea of guilty" made in court by
Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel for
the boys, and affirmed by them latter
they had been duly warned by the
court of the consequences of this
plea"
The degree Of punishment, which
may vary from an indeterminate prison
sentence, through life sentence in the
penitentiary, incarceration in an
asylum or death will be determined
after hearing.
The defense move was surprise
to the state counsel, who anticipated
q motion for continuance.
In entering the plea of guilty, At
torney Darrow said that the defense
admitted the correctness of the facts
substantially as printed in the news
papers,"
He asked permission of the court
however, "to offer evidence as to the
mental condition of these young men
and their degree of responsibility"
The defense was willing to submit
the question of mentality to a joint
conference of alienists employed by
the state and the defense, but Rob
ert Grove, states attorney, objected
to this, saying:
"The state is in position to show
that these boys are not only guilty
of the facts which they here admit,
but that beyond any reasonable doubt
they are sane and fully cognizant of
the consequences of those acts"

Support the Silk Workers

The strike of silk workers that is scheduled for
next Tuesday at Paterson and New York, under
the direction of the Associated Silk Workers
Union is one that demands the support of every
militant worker. This industry which produces
one of the luxures of the ruling class as well as
technical necessity for modern machine industry,
has long been one of the worst exploited in the
land. The silk workers have also been among the
best fighters, but have always been beaten back
BY the combination of bosses wealth and labor mis-
leaders treason.
Now it seems that militant union has grown up
that promises another real struggle for the silk
workers, with more prospects for Success than the
Inflated struggles of years ago. Setting forth
a series of demands that directly attack the worst
features of the sweating system in the silk mills
calling for the enforcementof the Shour day. aboli
ton of the three and fourloom SYSTEM recognition
of the union-the Associated Silk Workers Union
declares that it will fight until these demands are
won from the rich and greedy EN-, lovers
A promise of more organization and militancy
is also seen in the fact that the Trade Union Edu-
cational League militants have called upon all
their supporters to rally to the striking silk work
ers. This, coupled with the assistance of the Work
ers Party, will throw and fresh forces into the
struggle, aid bring victory much closer for the
silk workers of Paterson and New York.

Editors Note.-Our candidate for
president, Comrade Foster, is we'll
known to masses Of workers in the
steel, packing, railroad and other
basic industries. He is known to
them as standing for the allevia-
ton of Industrial grievances from
which they suffer. In this campaign
we must appeal to all such masses
and lead them, on the basis of their
immediate economic grievances, to
the understanding that their eco
nomic struggles can only be sue
cessful provided they have correct
political expression.
In regard to the steel industry,
with which this article deals, 1t is
we'll to recall that Mike Tighe, pres
ident of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers, with a membership of a little
over 10000 in an industry having
five hundred thousand workers. has
issued an endorsement of Robert
M. LaFollette, and the reactionary
Tighe has urged his few local unions
to support LaFollette.

Patriotism Thru Terrorism

That venerable lieutenant of the capitalist class
in the American labor movement, Mr. Samuel
Gompers, is welcoming the opportunity to lick the
boots of our strike breaking war department. This
Grand Old Misleader of the workers has pro-
cl lined from the housetops that he and what he
claims and swears is his own American Federation
of Labor for the gigantic military mobilization
Sept u,
In pledging his loyalty to the anker-secretary
of War Weeks, who is a bitter enemy of labor Mr..
Gompers, of course, takes his daily slam at the
Communists for their opposition to militarism and
capitalist Imperialism. Soviet Russ. is not over
looked in this pledge of allegiance to the strike
breakers in uniform.
In the city of Washington, where Mr.. Gompers
and his rubber stamps get most of their inspira-
ton, pressure is being brought to bear the en-
ployes of many concerns to force them into the
voluntary patriotic rehearsal now being adver-
tised so extensively. Right under Mr.. Gompers'
nose terrorism, the terrorism coming with the
threat of dismissal from work. is being resorted to.
From the reliable Christian Science Monitor we
learn the following complaint made by Washing
ton working man to one of its correspondents: IL
shall be made to appear as Stacker if do not
sign up for Defense Day, altho do not believe in
it. 1 may even lose my job, SO deeply has my or
ganization gone into this thing"
Here we have terrorism, force and violence of
the rankest sort being employed against the work
ing men in order to force them to goosestep in be-
half of their bosses. There is nothing more terri
flying to the average worker than the fear of being
fired from this job and being denied the right to
even paltry wage.
And this is the kind Of terrorism, Of force and
violence, the kind of dictatorship that Mr.. Com
pers, Mr.. Coolidge, and the biggest open shop or
CARNATIONS the country over never denounce and
always defend when they attack the Communists.
