Weeks to Go

\ The help wanted sign may be hanging over the
executive Office door of the department within
few days if reports of the threatened resignation
of Secretary of War Weeks are well founded
The departure of Weeks will leave Coolidge free
of the Harding cabinet liabilities with the excep
ton of Hoover, Davis and New secretaries of com
merce, labor and postal departments respectively.
With the exception of Hoover, who is now taken
up with the radio these three relics cut little ice
There is considerable speculation as to who shall
succeed Weeks. likely candidate for the job is
General Pershing, the favOrite of Wall Street.
Pershing has been properly groomed for the posi-
ton by the inner circle that controls the govern
ment and their press has heraded his praises until
he has become somewhat of popular hero among
the jingoistic elements of the population
In the event that "Black jack steps into Weeks
shoes, the formers trip thru South America will
stand him in good stead The United States in

than ever in the folds of the stars and stripes The
republics to the south possess untold natural
wealth, that is waiting the magic touch of the ex-
poiter. Wall Street is willing. 1t has competitors
And between this exploitation and its fruits stand
millions of workers who must be driven to produce
profits. This is where the army talks
1t must be admitted that Pershing will make an
ideal candidate for the job. He is fully qualified.
He is. well acquainted in. Europe and in South
America He is a rockribbed reactionary No
liberal idea is ever known to have escaped over his
lips. Wall Street has groomed him carefully.

THIS question of organized religion
4 is an important one for the Ameri-
can working class. Certain radicals
are prone to wave it aside as some
thing of little importance. Every
revolutionist, worthy of the name adj
mits that the leaders Of the move
ment must possess minds free from
any faint of religious superstition. But
not everybody sees. the tremendous
role that is being played by the
churches in the class struggle. The
catholic church is the most powerful
of all churches, because it is the
best disciplined and tolerates no d.
vided allegiance among its flock, an
appropriate designation.
THE weakness of radical propagan-
l. da among workers of Irish, Polish
and other nationalities where the
catholic church is powerful in the
homeland is significant. It shows
that the religious machine has sue
oeeded in building stone wall be-
tween the workers and the ideas that
will give them the vision of future,
different to what they ever dreamed
Of. This stone wall must be broken
thru.
TN this connection, one of the most
l. encouraging pieces Of news that
has come out of one of the European
cradles of catholicism and religious
bigotry, Ireland, is the report of the
election Of three labor candidates to
the northern parliament. They were
elected in Belfast, and after the
votes were counted, thousands OF
workers catholics and protestants,
marched together thru the streets
carrying red flags and singing revolu-
tionary songs. It.. is this common
struggle for the material needs of all
workers, and not bald anti-religious
propaganda that viii bring about a
better understanding between the
workers Of all religious creeds, and
that will ultimately mean the ban
ishment OF the gods from the skies
and capitalism from the earth" When
that day comes papal titles can be
had in the museums.

British Potato Embargo
 Is Protected by Senator
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 12- The British embargo on American potatoes brought apeals Saturday to several government departments for cooperation in an effort to have the ban modified.
 Senator Hale of Maine, acting on protests from Maine growers, called at the state and agricultural depart ments to discuss the situation but in the absence of detailed information action was deferred. At the same time confirmation of the dispatches telling of the embargo reached the British embassy and the department of agriculture. At the embassy it was announced that the embargo which applies only to England and Wales, became effective December 23, but that potatoes then enroute would be allowed to enter

 At the agriculture department, some officials, although hesitating to comment in the absence of de. tailed information. said they were puzzled at the development.

Ollie Pickering
in City

The years swing right along.
To most baseball fans Of the pres
ent generation probably the name
Of Ollie Pickering does not bring
memories. Ollie started playing
ball with Louisville when that city
was in the National League, way
back in 1895. Many present day
fans were being rocked to sleep
at that time. Others had not come
upon the scene.
Ollie was a big Lacquer for
twelve years with Louisville,
Cleveland, Philadelphia, st. Louis
and Washington.
Ollie is in this city now. His
horae is in Vincennes. But he has
not had work at the southern In
diana mines for five months. He
is looking for a Job as coach or
manager Of some industrial base
ball club. He can be reached at

Kearns, Dempsey's manager,
answering the commissions de-
mand that Dempsey fight Wills,
was not satisfactory and was
not a direct answer to the de-
mand made upon Dempsey.
Suspension Of Dempsey means
that he cannot fight in New York
State as long as he remains on the
ineligible list
I'VE don't care anything about
commissions" Kearns said. 1--WE
have the heavyweight championship
and it can be taken away from US
only by a tap on Dempsey's chin
We have been on record for two
years about the Wills challenge.
IF the commission hasn't a good
memory. it should dig into the files
and find the agreement that Demp-
sey signed years ago to fight Wills.
Kearns' Statement
Kearns made the same statement
in more elegant language when he
sent a long letter to the commission
last week after Dempsey had been
ordered to say yes or no to The Wills
challenge.
The commission. however. feels
that the letter avoided the main
points. The letter probably will be
placed on fife along with the official
copy Of the sentence.
With Dempsey declared null
and void, the commission may
put its machinery In motion to
find a new champion or to force
Dempsey into such a tight place
that he will have to announce
his retirement or have 1t made
obvious that he does not want to
fight.
One way toward this end would be

bons. who have filed challenges
fight 1t out. This probably will be
done.
