MANY SPEAKERS
BILLED FOR BIC
IRISH MEETING
Capitalist Parties Ignore
Famine

NEW YORK, April 10-The situa-
ton in Ireland is getting worse. The
Free State government is doing moth
ing to relieve the famine. Provision
for work for 750,O00-with an assign.
ment of $4,000, OOO-is ridiculous when
men, women and children are starv-
ing. Help is needed at once-not in
the form of work alone but in the
form of food and clothing. The CAPT.
talists and the capitalist press are do.
ing nothing quite obviously for the
Irish workers and peasants. The
workers are the only ones who may
be looked to to help their Irish com
rades.
The International Workers Aid. the
international working class organiza
ton, is rushing aid to the assistance
of the Irish famine-stricken The
Irish Workers and Peasants Famine
Relief Committee has been organized
in this country to carry on the work
of relief.
On Wednesday, April Is, at 8 D. m.
at Central Opera House, Jack Nc
Carthy who is returning from the
Irish famine district, will tell the
story Of the suffering of, the Irish
workers and peasants. He will mar
rate the misery and torments of these
hunger-stricken Elizabeth Gurley

SINCLAIR SORE
AT SOVIET; GETS
NO AID OFF CAL
State Department Deaf
to Complaint
BY LAURENCE TODD,
Federated Press.l

WASHINGTON, April 1o.-- Harry
Sinclair, having lost his oil conces-
slons in Russian SaghaIIen thru a de-
cision of the Moscow court that he
has failed to fulfill his contract, is
raising a storm in the big business
press.
He claims that the Japanese, who
drove him out Of Sanhalien so that
he could not keep his agreement to
develop that field, have secured a
monopoly concession under the terms
Of protocol 3 Of the Russo-Japanese
treaty which was signed at Pekln on
Jan. 20.
This Japanese monopoly Of Sagha-
lien oil, according to the argument of
Sinclair's friends, is violation of the
pledge made to the American state
department during the Washington
conference in the spring Of 1922, when
Baron Shidehara, on behalf of Japan,
assured Secretary Hughes that Japan
would not use her military occupa-
ton of the Russian far east to secure
any exclusive economic or commercial
privileges.
Sinclair Out Of Luck.
This protest against the Russian
concession of oil in Saghalien to the
Japanese calls attention to the fact
that since the United States does not
recognize the Soviet Union, It has no
means of discussing the oil concession
with Moscow. Discussion with Japan
will not help, because the Japanese
can say that this was free gift from
the Soviets to their Japanese friends,
and has nothing to do with the fact
that Japanese troops were in Russian
Saghalien and the Russian Far East.
AS to the charge that monopoly
privilege has been secured, they point
out that the concession covers only
the alternate squares in checker
board survey of the known oil fields.
There may be as much oil in fields
yet undiscovered, as in the ones now
known. State department officials,
who are anxious to prove that non
recognition of Russia is doing no
harm to American business, agree
that Japan has not violated her COM
pact with them, and that Sinclair is
simply in hard luck.
Plutes Sore at Japan.
Chairman Borah of the senate for
eign relations committee, however,
smiles grimly at this alibi. He says
it is clear that Japan has broken her
promise to Hughes, and that the rea-
son she has broken it, and the rea-
son why Japan thereby has grabbed
rich oil field in Russian Saghalien,
is that the Harding Coolidge admin
istration has refused to recognize the
Soviet Union.
Former Secretary Of State Lansing,
who seems to represent all the royal
list and reactionary Russian elements
as well as other foes of the Soviets,
joins in the outcry against the Jap
anese. He agrees with Hughes that
the Soviets should not be recognized,

FuII RscounItIon.

"The council also desires to empha-
size the Importance of including Rus
STA in the family of nations as a
means of more firmly establishing the
possibility of peace in Eastern coun-
tries, and declares that thru Russia,
as part of the confederation of ma
lions, a powerful influence in this di-
rection will be secured"
A vote of sympathy was passed with
the Russian government and the Rus
sian trade union movement in the
deaths of the prominent leaders Of
Russian labor Naraimanoff Miasni-
hoff, Mogilevski. and Alarbekoff, the
last three of which met their deaths
in an airplane accident.

stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii,

Street, was given the terrible SEN
tence of 40 years with hard labor for

For daring to exercise his right as an

sentenced to hell for forty years, or
until death charitably puts an end to
his misery.
THIS is appalling. And yet how

FRENCH SENATE
VOTES AGAINST
HERRIOT RULE
New Cabinet Crisis BY
Vote of 1872 to I56
Especial to Tho Daily Worker,

was preciptated this evening when
the French senate, by a vote Of 1872
to 1856, refused q vote Of confidence to
Premier Herriot. It was expected that
Herriot would resign Immediately.
Herriot went Immediately to ouai
d. orsay and it was announced a
few minutes later that the cabinet
was drafting its letter Of resisna-
tion.
The failure Of the senate to give
Herriot and his government a vote
Of confidence followed the appearance
Of Herriot and Poincare, former pre-
mier, before the senate to explain
the causes leading up to the financial
chaos in which France has found
itself.
Faithful to His Friends.
Closing his remarks, Herriot said:
Il have been faithful to my poll
teal friends, but at the same time l
retain my own political independence.
Fhe-time for sleeping is past. ask
the senate at least to recognize that
tried TO do my full duty"
His supporters gave. him an ovation
when he finished.
1T is unjust" Poincare said, "for
any Frenchman to attribute to an
other Frenchman responsibility for
financial condition which is exclusive
ly Germany's fault.
Says Vietors Pay War Costs.
Frances enormous public debt is
due to the Versailles treaty leaving
the victors to pay all the war costs.
Germany's defaults obliged us to call
on the victors to pay the war costs.
Germany's defaults obliged us to call
on the French people to Sacrifices
their savings"
Poincare asserted tnat "only per.
sistent efforts Of my government
made it possible to balance the 1925
budget"
Hsrriot Puts the Vote.
Herriot himself put the vote Of CON
fidence to the senate, determined, as
he had told his supporters, that he
should know as soon as possible
whether it would be feasible to put
thru the chamber Of deputies and the
senate the proposal submitted by the
new minister Of finance, de Monte.
The proposal contemplated volun-
tary levy of ten per cent on all wealth
in France, but the de Monte bill
provided if the contribution was not
made voluntarily then it would be
enforced.
While the vote was being taken,
Herriot's parliamentarian said:
May Dissolve the Chamber.
"The senate's reputation of Herriot
means the probable dissolution Of the
chamber Of deputies.
Normally, President Doumergue
should request either Francois-MarsaI
or Poincare to form a cabinet, in the
event Herriot resigns, but it is like
ly there would be sufficient opposition
in the chamber of deputies to block
this"

Washington Apples
Delicious Variety Becoming Popu-
lar In British Isle

The Delicious variety of Amer
ican apples has gained consider
able popularity during the bast
year. Although a long time fa-
vorite in American markets, the
British markets have had a de-
cided aversion to the Delicious.
until a retail fruit merchant in
Edinburg became interested.
He took actiye steps to create a
demand for this apple. and soon
had big trade coming to his
place of business. This little in
cident opened up new market.
During the past year, 2600
tons of commercial apples were
loaded out of Seattle for Glas-
gov, Scotland. Of course all of
these were not delicious, but 9th
er varieties of Washington ap-
pies were found among the ship
ments.
IAN export demand for the
delicious apple will tend to hold
up the price of this variety. "
says M. D. Armstrong, extern
sion specialist in horticulture.
The Delicious apple has proven
a hardy tree in the East and
millions of them have seen plant
ed. Thousands of these will
never come into profitable pro-
duction, because of the poor To-
cation and care; yet the total
production of this apple which is
a dessert fruit only, will be much
increased in the next few years.
''The fancy prices received
during the past few years are
likely soon to drop unless new
markets are developed. In the
tg
future, because an apple grew
on Delicious tree will not be
sufficient recommendation to sell
it. The Delicious needs careful
managing, which means picking
before over-ripe, careful hand
ling and prompt storage under
refrigeration.
with the national advantages
of irrigation and sunshine Of eli
mate, the Washington grower
can capture and hold the markets
for the fancy grades of this
fruit. if he will but give a little
more attention to these details
of holding his product in a first
class condition.

Lack Of Foresight

In a recent article Concerning

After citing statistics to prove
that the United States is far ahead

Joints all a-aching and muscles in a jerk;
I'm as fit as fiddle for full days work
Work all summer till winter is nigh,
Then figure up the books and heave big sigh
Worked all year, didn't make thing
Got less cash than had last spring
Now, some people say there amt no hell,
But they never farmed, so they can't tell.

While the fringe grows longer my old pants
Give my s'penders hitch my belt another jerk,
And, by heck, I'm ready for full days work.
