United States Takes Charge

News dispatches report that Owen D. Young.
head Of the General Electric Company, has gone to
Berlin to take charge of affairs in Germany, while
the German government has made the first pay
ment, according to the schedule of the Dawes plan
Thus has the United States, without single
official action of its illegal" governing machinery
been placed in the center of the European chaos
The capitalist underground" party, the group of
fnanciers headed by Morgan, spoke their will and
it was done. The "labor" and socialist govern
ments jumped, like the capitalist puppets that they
are, when Morgan pulled the string. Officially the
Dawes plan is put across"
But the actual operations Of the Dawes enslav-
ing machinery will not be so simple. 1t will act
like blazing sun upon the seeds of revolution with
which the capitalist world is sown And to operate
the Dawes plan will require the suppression of the
proletarian revolution in Germany and Central
Europe generally. That is the task assumed for
the United States by j. r. Morgan and his agents.
That is the meaning of the act of Owen d. Young
taking charge of the PREPARATIONS machinery. The
next CONSUMPTION act in the United States may be
for the purpose of sending young workers to Ger
many to destroy the German Soyiets.

lNNE of the most interesting re-
~ ports yet issued by the Minis
ter of Labor has appeared this week
on the changes in unemployment. 1t
serves to shatter a lot of illusions as
to who are the unemployed and en-
ables to make a much more satisfac-
tory explanation of some of the f1uc-
tuations in the organizations of the
unemployed. Time and time again
the enemy press and spouters have
denounced the unemployed as a mob
who don't want work, who are bleed
ing. the exchequer white and living in
the lap of chosen idleness. From all
the terrible statements made con-
corning the unemployed it would be
easy for us to conceive of the unem-
ployed as the great mob who had
read, marked and learned Lafargue's
Right to be Lazy" and had made up
their minds that the best way to apply
his philosophy was to fall out of work
and draw the dole"
What'Il They Say Now?
What these prize politicians will
say now, we don't know. This report
SO completely knocks the bottom out
of the argument that it must leave
them guessing. Instead of the unem-
ployed being a more or less perma-
nent section of the workingclass who
can't get work, this report makes it
perfectly clear that the personal of
the unemployed is continually chang
ing and that any charges that are to
be made against them must be leyel-
led against the whole working class.
1t is shown that IA per cent of the
personnel OF the unemployed is
changed every week. Further, that
instead of the working class being di-
vided into section that is nearly
permanently employed and section
that is almost permanently unem-
ployed, that in any one year one in
every three of insured workers claim
unemployed benefit during the year.
Out of 1900 workers of the country,
during the insurance year of Novem-
Der, 1922, to October, 1928, there
were 100000 claims for benefit.
The report goes still further and
enables us to estimate the number and
proportion of the workers in each of
the main industries who in the course
Of the liz months of the insurance
year presented themselves at the I'M
employment exchanges to claim I'M
employed benefit. They range from
81 per cent in the shipbuilding indus
try to 9.S per cent of the workers in
local government service.
The following table will show how
this turnover of unemployed is spread
over the various industries.

URGES NAVAL BASE
Development of Alameda Vital 10
America, House Committee Told.

Washington, March 15.-The spec
tire of war in the Pacific was held
up to the House naval affairs COM
mittee today by Representative Nc
Lafferty of California, in urging the
development of naval base at Ala
media.
The arms conference has not entire
ly eliminated the possibility of war
with Japan, he told the committee.
He characterized the proposed Ala
media base as the "hub" of the navy's
defense plan for the Pacific.
The overcrowded condition OF ia
pan and the natural increase Of the
japanese population in Hawaii and in
the Pacific coast states, McIafferty
said. are sources of friction which the
people of the West coast felt might
eventually precipitate the great strus-
gle between the yellow and white
races"
"The Secretary OF State is even
now trying to eliminate the japanese
exclusion section from the johnson
immigration BILL" he said. IF that
is done, no one knows what will be
the consequences"
He said the fight for adequate de-
Tense is one regarding which the peo-
pie of the Pacific coast are ain dead
ly earnest"
McLafferty's address practically
closed the hearing. Next Monday the
committee will go into executive SEES
sion to decide upon its report

O'NEILL'S PLAY TO
BE BARRED FROM THE
STAGE in NEW YORK
Reformers, Press and Mayor
Hylan Against Its
Presentation.
BY MALCOLM ELLIS.

copyrisht.. 1924 by Consol. Press Assn.
Now York, March 17.-"All Gods
chillun got WINGS" according to Eu-
gene O'Neill, the playwright, but his
brain child's wings have been clipped.
After Tapping feebly for few times,
his play on miscegenation has subsid-
ed for the time being and appears to
be doomed for the ash can or the
waste basket, or any place Mr..
O'Neill wants to send it, except to
the stage.
The little band Of liberal thinkers
that centers about the Provincetown
Theater, down in the Village, where
hair is short and art is long, still
protests that the play will see the
light of day as it was written, but
the reformers, led by DR.. John
Roach Stratton, have their axes sharp
ened and poised, the conservative
press has Numbered "it must not be
done," and Mayor Hylan threatens an
investigation. When Mayor Hylan
investigates. something happens, even
if it is nothing more serious than his
adversary being nominated for the
Ananias Club.
So great has been the pressure
brought to bear upon O'Neill since
he announced that the play would
open April Is, that he has now sent
word out word that the production of
"All Gods Chillun Got Wings" has
been postponed a month.
"See there" the theatrical mana
gers, old-timers in the business are
saying, "it can't be DONE"
ONeill's play deals with the mar
riage between a white girl and a ne
gro man. The woman is called Cd
twice during the play to kiss the ne
gro's hand. The result of the mar
riage is being used by proponents Of
the play as one justification for its
production. They point out that
amalgamation is not glorified, that
the girl, consciously in love with the
man, but sub-consciously revolving
against mixed caste, goes insane in
the final scene.
A theatrical newspaper, ordinarily
the stages most ardent defender
against reformers and critics, has de-
clared that the play tends toward deg
radiation of the stage. Other newspa-
pers contend it would aggravate the
racial difference. Only two defend
ers among theatrical writers have
been found, and their attitude is "if
it's n good play, it should be pro-
duced; if not, it shouldn't"
Mayor Hylan has not announced
the ground of his opposition. but if
he is determined the play shall not
he produced in New York, it can't be.
And that, it now seems certain, is
what the mayor will say.

MRS. DE LA HUERTA
EN- ROUTE TO U. S.
AND MAY COME HERE
Mexico City Dispatch States
Revolutionary Leader
Is Defeated.

Mexico City, March 15.-Adolfo
De Ia Huerta, defeated Mexican rebel
plans soon to make his way to the
United States to take up his residence
there, it is reported here tonight.
The De Ia Huerta has lost all pos
sible chance of success, in the opinion
of well informed observers here. and
nothing remains for the defeated
chieftain but to get out alive as best
he can.
The report he will take up resi-
dence in America was given color by
departure of his wife today in a
special car for the border.
President Obregon has treated the
wife of his enemy with the greatest
consideration since De Ia Huerta rose
in revolt, and crowned his generosity
today when he furnished a special
car to take Sonora De la Huerta to
the border. The car was attached
to the Laredo train which departed
this morning.
Despite a presidential ruling that
all rebel funds and property are con-
fiscated and automatically become
property of the nation, Obregon or
dered the money commission to re-
lease to Sonora De Ia Huerta money
which her husband had on deposit
here.
1t is believed here that Mrs. De Ia
Huerta will come TO San Antonio. and
may arrive here Tuesday or Wednes-
day. IL reports from Mexico City
are correct it is deemed likely she
will not stay on the border, but will
come into the interior.
