WASHINGT0N'S VIEW
Do Not Feel Annoyed Over Frcnch- mans Statement Scoring U. S. on Debt Issuc.s

Debt Issuc.5
 Washington, Jan. P. - Deputy Marin's declaration in the French chamber yesterday that 1t would be moral iniquity for the United States to compel France to pay her four billion dollar debt, is regarded by officials of the American debt commission as an isolated expression rather than an echo of French of- fcial opinion.
 The French deputy apparently had forgotten, 1t was pointed out to- day, that the United States made no claim for German reparations, ex- cept small percentage for the cost of the army of occupation and dam- age claims. This is regarded here as a fact which the French govern ment cannot be allowed to overlook.
 M, Marin Is deputy on the op- position side from the present French administration, it is pointed out, and could be expected there fore, to voice an extremist view.

FALSE ALARM AND APPRECIATION.
(By DR.. Bowen)

Good Pocomokes the kindest of folks,
Their sympathies radiant and rare
Warm wishes abound full enough to go round
And then abundance to share;
They hardly can bear when somehow they hear
The Old Preacher has Pneumonia.
Especially the girls, their tears like fine pearls,
They weep and they weep and they weep
They think of his cough and that sort of stuff,
And through the long nights cannot sleep;
Oh balbarous thing such tdings to bring,
That the Old Preacher had Pneumonia.
And Mrs. Eddy then just mad hen,
With feathers all dragged and torn;
For Clergymans pains when he aches and complains,
She feels the utmost of scorn;
And she solemnly swore, if not something more,
There's such thing Pneumonia
Old Preacher feels proud exultant and good
That the fOkseS anxious and sorry;
That over his groans and his means,
So many ready to worry;
While yet it is true, he is still good as new,
Despite of reported Pneumonia.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1925-05-09

"In addition to it's great value from
the standpoint of reasonable and
necessary military preparedness, the
training offered by these camps will
be of help in many ways to the young
men who receive it. 1t will benefit
them both physically and mentally; it
will deepen in them the spirit of dem
ocratic fellowship and of service to
their county, and will prepare them to
perform more fully and effectively
their duties as men and citizens"

FINNISH WHITE
GUARD PREP ARES
FOR WAR ON RUSS
Enormous Funds Spent
on Finnish Army
Especial to The Daily Worker,

LONDON, Oct 9.-That fears of
labor that the imperialist powers are
preparing for ultimate war against
Soviet Russia are not witout founda-
ton is seen in the plans of white
guard Finland TO make unexampled
military preparation running into the
billions of dollars. OF course this is
to be done, as usual, by preparing for
defense"
President of the Defense Commit
tee Hornborg, although admitting
that Finland itself could not afford
such a pretentions and costly plan,
does not say where the funds are to
come from to furnish Finland with
the estimated $140,000,0O0 year for
ten years, in addition to the cost of
maintaining the civil corps" or white
guard.
Broadly limiting that money from
the larger capitalist nations would be
welcomed, Hornborg says the econ
omic aspects of the plan is causing
the Finnish government concern, as
1t had been hoped to make use of
material captured from Soviet Russia,
but this would not suffice and Some
thing must. be done to make Finnish
defense more than a bluff."

The close connection between pro-

received emphasis today when
United States Senator John W..
Harreld, republican, Of Oklahoma,
In a letter to General Lincoln C..

taken by enforcement officials that

question was raIsed-sImpIy plain
question Of holding his job.
Senator HarreId demanded that
Andrews make no appointment In
his state that would lnjure his
standing before the voters. The let
ter followed dismissal Of a meddie-
some pulpit FOUNDER by Director

In demanding the reinstatement
Of the clergyman, HarreId said: 81

MEETING TO Be
HELD SUNDAY
To IndOrSe NeU York
Labor Ticket

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.--Enthusiastie
support Is coming from many quarters
for the big union delegate meeting
called for Sunday afternoon, Oct. II,
at Manhattan Lyceun, So &. 18th St.,
New York City, to endorse the united
labor ticket and the Workers Party
candidates in the municipal election.
Needle trades workers, food workers,
metal workers and others are ex-
peeted to have full representation at
this meeting.
The militant trade unionists have
become actively interested in the
Workers Party campaign in the NUM-
cipaI elections and for its determined
fight for the united labor ticket against
the active sabotage of the socialist
party and the Tammany trade union
politicians who make up the bureau
cracy Of New York's unions.
Active unionists are aiding the par
ty in arranging noon-hour meetings
in front of the big shops in the chief
industrial centers of the city. Cam.
paign literature is being circulated and
funds are being collected in the shops
and Workers Party speakers are be-
ing invited to speak at union meet
ings. The following resolution which
is typical Of those being adopted, was
passed by the Hotel Workers Union,
indicates the interest Of the organized
workers in the campaign that the
Workers Party is waging:
Whereas, The workers of New
York City are faced today with the
prospect Of another four years OF the
rule of big business under the leader
ship of either Frank Waterman, the
republican banker, millionaire foun-
tain pen manufacturer and exploiter
Of labor or that Of James Walker Of
Tammany Hall, lawyer for the beef
trust and the milk trust, and
Whereas, The election OF either
Of these tools Of the capitalist class
means more crowded schools, more
crowded subways, higher rents, worse
housing conditions, injunctions and ar
rest OF pickets, lower wages, in
creased exploitation Of labor and new
attacks upon the working class OF New
York City, and
Whereas, The working class Of
New York City stands today weak
and divided before the prospect of
these certain attacks by the powerful
forces OF the employers, be it
Resolved. That we send our dele
gates to the conference called by the
Workers Party Of America for Sun
day, Oct. IL, at 2 .. M, at Manhat-
tan Lyceum, sc East 4th St., for the
purpose OF furthering the idea OF
united labor ticket and the unity of
labor on the political field"

Gently approved by the shop chair

joint action committee Of Locals 2, 9,
and %, which were suspended, have
resulted in victory for the left wing,
the entire executives Of the three

sters of the Sigmanite joint board and
Local % remained continually in a
state of seige with hundreds of mem
bers on guard night and day, brot out
the heaviest vote these locals have
ever shown in the history of the in
ternational.
In Local there we're 5,20S votes

membership which confirmed their
claims upon their right to hold their
positions.
