nESPITE pressure from England
~ Austria has at last decided to
grant extensive credits to Soviet Rus
sia- in order to facilitate trade be-
tween the two countries. AS mat
ter Of fact the prosperity of the Rus
sian people is growing so fast under
Communist rule, that the capitalist
countries of Europe are stepping on
each others toes in an effort to get
in on some of the profits to be made
in trade with the hated Bolsheviks.
Some day, the workers of those capi-
talist countries will do what their
Russian brothers did, and the bene-
fits to be derived from an exchange
of commodities will go into the pock-
cts Of the producers of all countries.
THE Austrian National Bank, an
4 nounced on Nov. 2S that in the fu-
ture it will handle Austrian bills of
exchange on Russia whether in shill-
ings or foreign currency. The re-
port from Vienna states quite frankly
that the Austrians have been trying
to do this for a long time but encount-
cred opposition from the British for
eign office. This information brings
to Light another fact The parlia-
mentary budget commission of the
Austrian government adopted the
proposal Of the league of nations to
extend control over the national bank
for three years under new adviser,
who will be an Eneishman.
TIME present league of nations fl
i nancial adviser to Austria was
former minister of finances Of sHol-
land and he has been at loggerheads
with the Bank of England. Finally
the British decided to bounce him.
This shows clearly who owns the
league of nations. The Wall Street
bankers who want to get the United
States into the league are not wor-
rying very much about who owns the
league. They have the dough and
that is what kings and presidents
bow down before. The league of ma
tions is simply league of bandits
formed to make division of the loot
plundered from subject peoples cas-
ier.
THREE of the murderers of the
4 Italian socialist Deputy Matteotti,
were recently released by Mussolini.
Now ossi is granting interviews to
~ ne isnapers on the beauties Of fas-
ISM. The court which acted as
.,4ussolinl s. agent in turning the
murderers loose admitted that they
planned Matteotti's kidnapping, but
were not responsible for his death.
The FIVE men paid by them to get the
socialist out of the way, got peeved
because Matteotti objected to his
forced journey, and they killed him.
For which the organizers of the
crime we're not at all responsible, ac-
cording to the court.
TNHE five who actually committed
4 the murder are still in prison, but
they will be released without doubt
One fof those who planned the crime,
gentleman by the name of Rossi,
formerly member Of the |. w. W.
admitted in writing that Mussolini
was responsible for the whole affair.
1t Is universally known that Musso-
lini uses the stilletto to get rid of his
political enemies, yet he is admired
by the international bankers and
their literary fuglemen, who feign
such a holy horror of Russia where
95 per cent of the population rule
with. the greatest degree of freedom
In the history Of the human race. OF
course this freedom is extended only
