with the provision of the treaty OF
Lausanne, and Greece Is upset over
the affair to the extent that her rep
rosentative in Geneva has taken up
the matter with the League of Ma
lions. The treaty of Lausanne pro-
vided that all Greeks not residents
in Turkey before 1918 would have to
leave, and Constantine comes within
this classification. His expulsion de-
prives the Greek Church of its on
cial chief in Turkey. Turkey, on
the other hand, has always claimed
that the patriarchate in Constanti-
nople Is the breeding place for pyopa-
ganda against the unity Of Turkey.
Turkey has notified Greece. in
reply to note from the latter, that
she will not submit the present dis
agreement to the International Court

says the affair is purely an internal
one and Intervention by outside
powers would be intolerable.

Aviation,

AUI0ttOn.
Ore Of the rAost interesting three
cornered rows which has broken out
in Washington for long time came
to the surface during the last week
and involved Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell. assistant chief of the Army
Air Service: the General STAFF of the
Army and the Navy Department. AS a
result two congressional committees
are hot upon the trail of anybody con-
cerned and determined to go to the
bottom of the whole business, while
Gen. Mitchell, 1t seems likely. may not
be continued in his present position
as assistant chief of the Air Service.
For many years now there has been
hot debate between the Air Service
and the Navy as to the comparative
value of airplanes and battleships.
To make the row more acute, how
ever, Gen. Mitchell has come out in
favor of a united Air Service as
separate arm of the national defense,
and in this he. runs counter to the
beliefs not only of the Navy. but Of
the General STAFF of the Army. He
has very frankly aired his views be-
fore a House committee which has
been holding hearings on a bill for
the unification of the air services, and
some OF these views have been inter-
preted by the War Department as be-
ing detrimental to the service, and
the general has been called upon by
Secretary Weeks to explain them. He
explains them by repeating his Of
tending remarks, and the country sits
back and watches with interest to see
who will come out on top-Gen.
Mitchell and his Air Service, the Cen
eral Staff of the Army or the Navy
Department. So far it is probably a
draw.
Soon the airplane will replace the
dog team as a carrier of Uncle Sans

cept by dog team, the Post Office De-
partment announced last week that
regular air-mau routes soon would be
established in Alaska, and that au
thorization to this effect has been CIV
en- by Congress.

CAIRO, January S.-The cocaine
habit among Egyptians has grown to
such an alarming extent that the com
mandant of the local police has issued
an appeal to the public to assist him
in keeping down the evil.
The Egyptian nation, this official de-
clares, is destroying itself through the
drug habit. which is demoralizing the
youth of Egypt and filing the hos
pitfalls and prisons. He deplores the alb
sence of statutes dealing adequately
with the evil and asserts that If the
laws were made more rigorous and re-
ceived more support from the public
Egypt could yet be delivered.

DEMAND RELEASE
OF CROUCH IN
FEDERAL court
HGbeas Corpus Writ to
Be Secured
Especial to The Daily worker)

HONOLULU, Hawaii, June f7.--lt Is
expected that action will be taken on
the Crouch-TrumbuII case in a few
days in the federal court on writ Of
habeas corpus. The only question
that can be raised is that of jurisdic-
tion, as the merits OF the case or the
question Of facts cannot be inquired
into by the higher court.
1t is probable that the jurisdiction
of the courtmartial will be challenged
on the ground that the acts charged
in the specifications do not constitute
offenses either against any law of the
United States or any military rule or
regulation. that the accused were
wholly within their constitutional
rights in every thing they are alleged
to have said or done. and that no
court, civil or military. has jurisdic-
ton to punish for acts that are not
offenses.
Even if the release of the prisoners
is denied by the local federal court
and they are remanded into the Gus
tody of the army authorities, the
foundation will have been laid for ap-
peal to the higher courts and to the
supreme court and the president.
Locally the defense is hampered by
lack of funds, as only about $4,000
has been received to date. About
100000 more will be required to carry
the fight thru locally.
The Labor Defense Council, how
ever, has given assurance that the
necessary funds will be raised.

IN the face OF this situation, the
= leaders Of the union are showing
themselves unwilling and incapable OF
protecting the interests of the work

miners in militant struggle against
the operators to establish real wages
and working conditions in the min
ing industry. They refuse to carry
on the necessary work of organization
to bring the hundreds of thousands OF
unorganized miners into the union.

won thru so many years of struggle.
