SOVIET STEEL
INDUSTRY IN
BIC EXTENSION
New Railways Unite
Coal and Iron

NEW YORK, May 11.-Investment
of 35,O00,000 rubles in development
of great steel industry for Siberia
is contemplated by the council OF
labor and defnse for Russia, reports
the New York Offices Of the Kusbas
colony The proposed project would
unite coki1g coal of Kusbas with iron
ore of the Tablass region to the south.
The series of railroad lines that is
expected soon to be laid across
central Siberia, communicating with
China, Persia and the North and
Northwest would consume the pro-
duct. Central Siberia, say Kusbas
men, will be to the coming Asia what
Pennsylvania is to America.
The Kusbas office officially denies
an Associated Press dispatch saying
that the Lena Goldfeld corporation,

cessions for Kusbas coal. Soviet Rus

In dia to Export
Little Wheat; Held
for Home Markets

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IL
The Indian wheat crop is forecast at
322,000,000 bushels, compared with
64,O00,OOO bushels produced in 1924.
according to cablegram received by
the United States department of agri-
culture from the Indian department Of
statistics.
The production reported is just
about sufficient for home require
ments leaving little or no grain for
export. The Indian people, however,
are not dependent upon wheat as
food grain. and should good harvests
be obtained for other grain crops such
as rice and millet, some Indian wheat
may find IT'S way to the world markets.
The Indian cotton crop for 1924-25,
according to the April official estimate,
amounts TO 100000 bales of ATS
pounds, which is an increase of $4,000
bales over the February estimate and
agrees. exactly with the December es-
innate. The 1924-25 acreage is placed
at 26,461.0 900 acres. which is IL per
cent more than in 192S-24.

FLAG WORSHIP
CULT EXCITED
AT SACRILEGE
Gals Bunting Hung at
Wrong Angle
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, May II. Since
Mitchell Palmer and w. ]. Burns
Joined hands with the late Security
League to enforce ritualistic treat
ment Of the American flag, there has
not been such hubbub over irrever-
ence TO that much-abused bunting as
the one started by the American Flag
Association because two flags were
draped in front of President Coo
lidge's box at the opening baseball
game of the season. Coolidge is hon.
orary president of the fiag-worship-
ping association, but that did not save
him from the protest of his profess
sional priests of the flag religion.
1t seems that true believer in the
American Flag Association will not
permit flag to be draped, or punched
up in any way, or hung in any fashion
except with the stars at the left.
Draping two flags with. their star
fields next to each other maybe ar
tistic, but II is sacriligeous and trea-
sonable, and smacks : of pro-German-
ism and Bolshevism.
The White House has declined to
comment on this protest at the mis-
treatment of the national emblem. I'm
official apologies are made by under
lings-for instance, that under these
rules 1t must be wrong to let the
wind whip the flag about on a pole,
and that pretty soon we will have to
paint the flag on the White House
front, TO be sure that IL stays in a
correct attitude.
However, the president will not pub
licly laugh at the crafty hypocrisy
involved in the whole flag etiquette
system. Nothing that is effective in
creating awe and sense of in
feriority in the minds OF millions OF
the people will be laughed at by the
chief OF the administration.

Fourteen and one-half million votes

these votes was cast not so much for
Hindenburg as against the entente,
against the creators of the Versailles

In the hands of the Hindenburg
clique, these votes become weapons
of social reaction, white terror and
monarchy.
There are two ways of fighting the
monarchy. The first way was de-
monstrated by the Russian workers in
1917 and 1918; the other way, that of
evolutionary democracy, was to be
demonstrated by the Second Inter-
