Aircraft Board to -
Investigate Airplane
as Combat Weapon

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 25.-The
aircraft investigation board appointed
by President Calvin Coolidge is dis
cussing the feasibility of carrying on
series of new aviation tests with
the intention of proving the efficiency
OF the airplane as a combat and de-
Tense weapon.
Up to the present the role Of the
airplane has been looked upon more
as the spy Of the army and navy. It's
main purpose has been to observe
movements Of enemy troops. ETC.. but
since the charges made by Colonel
William Mitchell, the board is think
ing seriously of the airplane as a
combat weapon.
Instead of having stationary targets
or the placing of black powder bombs
side Of a moving cruiser, the aviation
board has decided TO have the air
planes drop bombs onto swiftly NOV
ing targets. Steps are being worked
out to test the efficiency OF anti-air-
craft guns during those bombings.

unity, will intensity that demand on
the part Of the American workers.
Why do you not join In that cam
paign?
And the question of political unity,
Mr.. Thomas-was there ever a work
ing class that needed that issue raised
more badly than the American work
ers divided as they are and still tied
as a tail to the kite Of the bosses
political parties? Yet, when we
raised the issue of political unity in
the city of New York, Of united
labor ticket as first step toward a
labor party, your party ignored and
rejected our proposal.
Communists Demand Action
We feel that your remarks on unity
remain a pious formula if not trans
lated into action, or an empty phrase
as long as you limit yourself to Eng
land or Europe where you cannot
actively work for unity and can have
no influence on the course of labor
affairs. 1t is in the very nature of
your party, Mr.. Thomas, that its stan
dard bearer should talk of unity
somewheres else while the party's
machine officially unites itself with
those fighting such unity in America
and makes itself an instrument OF
disunion and confusion. Unity of
labor's forces, Mr.. Thomas, should
begin at home. We, therefore, chal-
lenge the sincerity Of your remarks
by giving you and your party an op-
portunity to translate them into act
ion. Once more, Mr.. Thomas, we in
yite you and your party to join with
us, even at this late hour, in the call
for united labor ticket which will
be the first step toward unihcation OF
labor's political forces in a labor
party.
We, further invite you and your
party TO join with us and other labor
forces in issuing joint call for a
convention of all the unions and
workers organizations OF this coun-
try to promote recognition OF Soviet
Russia, world trade union unity, in
dependent working class political
action and political unity. Any of
these issues require united action. We
stand for united campaign ON any
of them or all Of them together.
We await your answer, Mr.. Tho
mas.
Very truly yours,
Benjamin GltIow
Workers Party candidate for
Mayor of the City of New York.

frisco Workers Protest

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-The
International Labor Defense is arrang-
ing a series of protest meetings in
California protesting the refusal of
the United States supreme court to
review the appeal of Anita Whitney
against her conviction in the Califor-
mia state courts for an alleged viola
ton of the state syndicalism law.
Oakland Meeting Saturday
The first of these meetings will be
held in Oakland, Anita Whitney's home
town, at the Native Sons Hall, Satur-
day night, October 81.
Arrangements are being made for
protest meetings in Berkeley, Los An
geles and other California cities.
United Front Demonstrations
All efforts are being made to get
as many of the labor unions and or
CARNATIONS OF California as possible
behind this united front protest
against the criminal syndicalism law
of California and the refusal of the
supreme court to act on the Anita
Whitney appeal.
Anita Out on Bail
Anita Whitney is now out on
$4,000 bail and had notified her law
yers that she will make no further
legal fight against serving her sent
ence. IL is expected to have her say
few words at the protest meetings
arranged in her behalf.
NEW YORK, Oct 25-The Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union has sent
telegram to Governor Friend w.
Richardson of California, asking for
pardon for Anita Whitney, whose APP
peal for review of her conviction
by the state courts Of California for
violation of the state criminal syndi-
calism law was denied by the United
States supreme court on the grounds
that the governors of Illinois and New
York have pardoned members of or
CARNATIONS who were charged with
violations of the criminal syndicalism
law
The Civil Liberties Union urges the
governor to pardon Anita Whitnty as
her conviction comes five years after
the alleged offense of belonging to the
then legal political organization the
Communist Labor Party, which has
long since been disbanded

CEREMONIES MARKED
BY SERIES OF CUPS AND DOWNS''
Rites Vary From Sin, pcity That Was Established by
Jefferson to Gala Affairs When Grant and
Roosevelt Took Office.

The history of presidential induc-
tion ceremonies, from the time of
George Washington to Calvin Cool
idge's day, might aptly be termed
THE Rise and Fan of the Inaugura-
tion'
Elaborate exercises, marked by ma
tionSl festivities, have had their day
and have retired in favor of a new
order of things. rather. a reversion to
the old order as fathered by Thomas
jefferson.
A chart showing the trend of presi-
Dental inaugurations would indicate
that the gala ceremony really got its
start when James Madison. fourth per-
son to be elected Chief Executive of
the new Nation, was mducted into
office. Before Madisons regime the
inaugural ceremony was in its in
fancy. Gen. Washington took office
amid impromptu festivity both times
he was elected, and there were some
minor demonstrations for John
Adams, but even the semblance of
gayety that struggled to take form
then was throttled in its tracks when
the famous wave of Jeffersonian SIM
plicity swept over the Government.
Madison Sets New style.
But with Madison's election the gala
inauguration came into it's own.
Limited in those days by inadequate
facilities in the way of transportation,
communication and living accommo-
dations in the Capital, the early stages
of the rise of the inaugural naturally
were SLOW The chart would show a
gradual incline from Dolly Madison's
day, when mine companies of volun-
teer militia of the city of Washing

the day ended with fireworks, paid

on a balcony overlooking the street.
Washinston's second inaugural took
place March 4, 1872. In Independence
Hall, Philadelphia IT was not made
an occasion for much outward dis
play. There was no procession.
Washington merely riding to the
hall In coach, drawn by six white
horses and preceded by two men with
white wands, who opened way for
the team through the crowds. There
were no evening ceremonies.
Differ ON Jefferson.
John Adams was tnaugurated with
but little ceremony, at the old State
house in Philadelphia. March 4,
1877. This was the last Inauguration
held outside of the District of Column
bia as Washington was made the
Nations Capital during Adams term
of office. Newspapers of the day give
but meager accounts Of Adams in
augural ceremony.
Thomas Jefferson when he took
Office March 4, 1901, at Washington,
resolved that mo pageant should give
the lie to his Democratic principles"
The oath was administered In the
Senate chamber in the presence of
the heads OF departments, the marshal
of the District of Columbia, civil and
military authorities, etc Versions

differ as to just how far Jefferson
carried his ideas regarding lack of
show. A cotemporary newspaper
says he was escorted TO the Capitol
by body of militia and a group of
citizens; biographer declares he
went unattended, except for several
friends. while another authority
states that he saw Jefferson ride on
hors ehack to the Capitol, without a
single guard or servant, and that he
hitched his horse ito the palisades"
himself. There was apparently no
evening celebration of any kind.
Jefferson's second inaugural was even
more devoid OF ostentation, and the
journals of Congress contain no rec
ord of the proceedings.

James Madison. however, threw to
the winds the Jeffersonian simplicity
that had ruled before him, and ac-
cording to best accounts Washington
was a lively town around March 4,
1909. The day was marked through
out by big demonstrations. Inns were
overfiowing with visitors and a gen
eral air of festivity reigned. The
volunteer militia assembled early and
long before the time for the ceremony
at the Capitol more than 10, 900 per-
sonsI were gathered outside the Sem
ate chamber. Volunteer cavalry
escorted the President-elect from 1918
II street (now the Cosmos Club to
the Capitol, and upon conclusion of
the ceremony guns at the Navy Yard
and Fort Warburton fired minute
salutes and nine companies of volun-
teer militia of Washington passed in

PARIS, March 5. Deauville is

ment, voted recently by the Chamber
of Deputies, raising the percentage
accruing to the state treasury from
Frances gambling casinos, should by
any possible chance pass the Senate.
When the Carat amendment was
passed by the Chamber February 27,
1t was shown that the gambling
casinos had made profits of 204, 600, 900
francs in 1924, that one casino alone
had profited to the amount of 100000
francs.
NJ Piquet said that he Showmen's
Federation had also been moved to
protest to the government. inasmuch
as if the provision of the Carat
amendment became law it would
bring about the unemployment of at
least 10, 900 federation members.

cashed 103,2O4,76S francs worth of
cheques last season. mostly from
foreigners, who thus brought to
France their foreign currency. The
casinos constitute one of the main
elements making France the worlds
playground Without the tourist
trade we will be unable even to ap-
proach paying our debts.
"Deauville, If the Carat project
passes the upper house, would be
forced to pay state and other levies

OTTAWA, Ontario, March 5.--Two
treaties between Canada and the
United States. the first dealing with
smuggling operations and illegal
durg traffic along the international
border, and the second enlarging the
list of extraditable crimes, were ap-
proved yesterday by the Canadian
House of Commons.
The treaty designed to SUPPRESS
smuggling operations also provides
for international cooperation in the
suppression of the illegal drug traffic.
The second pact placed crimes against
the narcotics laws in the extraditable
list.
The treaties will make the laws of
both the United States and Canada

powerful drug traffickers, who have
been mocking the governments of the

True, admits Caillaux, but before
they're turned in for redemption,
the government will have had to
make economies which will enable it
to retire the six billions, leaving it
with clean slate, so far as that
amounts concerned. 1t simply is

Italy actually is discussing with
America the terms Of settlement

It's about $2,l3S, 100000.
