prey to vitiating effeminacy learned
from her captives. Rome, in the
rugged hardihood of her prime, over
came Greece, only to fall fatally
stricken with the degenerating luxury
of Athens. America, economically,
has mastered the world. Is she in
turn to be mastered by the worlds
greatest vice-surrender to the costa
sizes of the opium poppy?
This is the question soberly pro-
pounded by government investiga-
, tors, by public health authorities and
by students of the narcotic drug evil,
after ten year campaign of ofense
which has resulted only in the de-
crease of the use of the drug caffein,
an evil, but a lesser one.
There was traffic in opium as far
back as the Civil War. But its
growth to menacing proportions is
an aspect of recent years. In 1909
there was imported for legitimate
medical uses 100000 pounds of the
opium poppy's yield. By 1919, the
space of a single decade, the figure
had risen to 100000 pounds, enough
to supply Sc doses to every mar,
woman and child in the country.
These are the facts of the recorded
imports, and take no cognizance of
struggled opium. Conservative au-
tborities declare that the traffic of
opium smugglers in our seaports and
along the Mexican and Canadian
borders is as great as the trade
through legitimate channels. They
say that the figures given above must
be doubled before a true estimate of
the drug problem is reached. Their

Ukrainian Council
Commutes Sentences
OF Kiev Prisoners
(Rosta News.)

MOSCOW, June 26.-The presidium
of the All-Russian central executive
committee has granted the petition
for amnesty of the sentenced in the
case of the Kiev Center Of Action
The capital punishment sentence
passed on the accused, Gzebakoff,
Edinevsky, Yakovleff and Vinogrado-
va, has been committed to ten years
imprisonment, while the various
terms of detention to which other ac-
cused had been sentenced have been
reduced by one-half.
In the explanatory note to this de-
cision it is being pointed out that the
sentenced have repented their coun-
ter-revolutionary attempts, which had
utterly failed owing to the hostile at
titude toward them on the part of the
peasants and workers, as we'll as the
Ukrainian and Russian intellectuals.
At the same time the All-Ukrainian
G. E. c. reafirms the full guilt Of the
accused, who have been convicted of
high treason and espionage, altho
their criminal action did no substan-
tial harm to the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics.

. FINANCE EXPORTS
Nation Given to Trusts

BY w. FRANCIS AHERN
'EedArafed praee cf.Ff Commemorate,

Federated Press staff Correspondent
SYDNEY, N. S. W., June 26.-On
the pretext Of developing the re-
sources of the Australian continent,
the land is to be turned into parad-
Use for the profiteers while the work
ing masses are to be driven back to-
wards the status of industrial helots
The wealthy producing interests and
exporting capitalists are to be assist
ed in the marketing of their products
by making the Australian people pay
the cost involved. According. to IN
official statement made by the Aus
tralian Prime Minister (Mr. Bruce
this will be done, per medium of
bounties from the national treasury,
ALLEGATION of tariff revenues, sub
sides to help pay freights. etc.
The people of the continent are to
find the whole of these subsidies by
way of taxation. Since taxation is
borne by the workers, this means that
the workers are to be penalized for
the purpose of enriching the capital
lists.
There is another aspect Of the mat
ter. With the establishment of big
export market, the home market will
be neglected, while home prices will
be boosted up.
According to the Australian prime
minister, ''it is condition precedent
to any government assistance that
every exporting industry shall thor
oily organize ITSELF" This fore
casts the formation Of trusts, rings
and combines, to standardize and con-
troll prices. What this will mean to
the workers Of Australia is already
instanced by the upward trend of
prices following the formation of
trusts and combines where the indus
tries have already been thoroughly
organized"

ROM FREED AS
BOMB FIR AME-UP

Finnish Workers Party
Member Exculpated
Especial to The Daily WOrker.)

Especial to The Daily Worker.)
SUPERIOR, Wis, June 26.-Bomb
charges against Eskel Rom, Workers
party member and manager of the
Cooperative Central Exchange here,
were thrown out of court when prose
cutors failed to appear at the munich
pal court hearing. Ronn's bail of
81 900 was refunded.
The collapse of the frame-up
against this active worker in the rad
ical movement came when prescott
ors realized that they would not get
away with their absurd conspiracy.
The charge connected Rom with the
bombing Of a store and postofice at
Chatham last October. The authori-
ties alleged that a motion has been
made and passed at meeting of the
Eben's Finnish Workers party local
to blow up the building of the private
storekeeper and that Rom addressed
the meeting. He was arrested in SUI
perior.
Rom has never attended nor adj
dressed any meetings in that locality,
nor could the authorities get any evil
dence that the local had ever made
or thought of any such motion as the
one alleged.
Rom and party members denounced
the arrests and charges as conspir-
acy against the rising cooperative
movement and the trials promised to
discredit the prosecutors who had lent
themselves to private business. So
the case against Rom was dropped.

10 PERCENT ON
COMMON STOCK
Low Wages, High Rates,
Mean High Profits

Low wages paid railroad employees
coupled with high freight rates have
enabled Is leading railroads to pile
up profits during the last 10 years at
an average rate of 1015 per cent a
year on their common stock, accord
ing to figures published in the Wall
Street Journal.
This means that between 1914 and
1928 total profits amounted to more
than the entire value Of their common
stock which was in many instances
heavily watered.
12H Per Cent Last Year.
Profits of the year 1923 represented
a return of 12h per cent on the ag-
gregate capital stock of these roads
or more than half again as large as
the return in 1914 when the common
stockholders got an average of 81
per cent on their nominal investment.
The rate of profit in 1928 contrasted
with that in 1914 and with the 10
year average is shown for the several

With two exceptions the year 1923
carried every one of these railroads
over the 10 per cent profit level and
all except four show profits larger
than those Of 1914. In connection with
the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern it should be pointed out that a
100 per cent stock dividend in 1921
doubled the amount of stock out
standing. In other words the 14.1 per
cent return in 1923 really represents
a return of 1872 per cent.

will continue to make excessive profits
as long as the failure of the country
to create a national transportation
system enables them to prevent a
reduction of rates on the ground that
it would bankrupt the weaker roads.
