Russian Official
Tells How Sinclair
Broke Oil Contract

MOSCOW, March 26.-Comrade Pi.
atakoff, chairman of the court conces.
sions committee, explained in a press
interview relating to the forfeiture of
Sinclair's oil concession that in spite
of innumerable warnings, the Sinclair
company did not carry out the condi-
lions Of the concession contract, nor
did they start exploration in the area
covered by this contract.
In fact, Comrade Piatakoff remark.
ed, 1t became clear to the Soviet gov
eminent as early as at the beginning
OF last year that Mr.. Sinclair was
powerless to carry out some of the
obligations undertaken by the COM
pany, which had apparently over-es-
timated their influence In the political
world and which failed to secure any
support from the American admins
tration.
In May, 1924, a further and final
delay Of another six months was
granted to the Sinclair company for
the sake Of allowing. them to make
good the defaults in the execution of
the contract. However, this proved
useless again.

zIONISTS TURNING
HOLY LAND into
CORY BATTLEFIELD
Make War on Arabs in
Palestine

JERUSALEM, Palestine, March 2
(By Mail) During the last three
months and continuing as this is writ
ten the persecution of the Arabian
peasants and Communists has reached
unheard of proportions.
The zionist organization, a plant
tool of British Imperialism, is the
leader of this campaign and in De-
cember they forced a bloody conflict
between the zionist colonists and the
Arabian peasants.
The zionists have been Joined by
the zionist party, calling itself go
cialist" and because the Communists
have exposed their schemes for zion
istic colonization and expulsion of the
Arabian peasantry violent offensive
against them has been launched.
Many Communists and peasants
have been arrested, beaten and 9th
erwise mistreated.
The self determination policy which
is supposed to prevail in Palestine
has been converted into a warfare of
determination Of the Arabs. The
Communists have pointed out that
the prosecution of this policy must
lead inevitably to a bloody war but
Great Britain wants to destroy the
Arab centers and is undoubtedly aid
ing financially in the campaign.
The Communist Party of Palestine
has issued an appeal to all its brother
parties thru the Communist Interna-
tional calling for agitation against the
among the national sections of their
persecution campaign of the zionist
movement.
Many of the supporters Of zionism
are entirely unaware of the manner
in which the movement has become
an appendage of British imperialism.
Some Of the sections have already
made known their opposition to such
a prostitution Of the national desire
for freedom.

London Clinics for
Birth Control Show
Issue Their Reports

NEW YORK, March 26.- Among
the reports from foreign countries,
presented to the Sixth international
Birth Control conference which open
ed at the Hotel McAlpin today. the
most interesting were those which
gave the actual working of birth con-
troll in those countries where clinics
for the purpose have been establish
ed. One Of these reports was from
the clinic established by DR.. Marie
Slopes in London. This clinic opened
its doors on March II, 1921. It is the
Oldest birth control clinic in any Eng
disappearing country.
The report covered the statistics
for five thousand cases-a number
which was completed late in 1924. OF
these cases, 1884 came to the clinic
for information to prevent the birth
OF children on account of disease or
extremely adverse conditions or for
the spacing out of the family. The
remaining 166 came for information
which would enable the mothers to
have children and it was reported that
quite a number of these cases had
attained their desire, and that in two
cases twins had been born to women
who had previously been sterile.

This shop nucleus of 65 members

The secretary reports that the shop

LAWRENCE. Mass, March 26.-A

the united front textile committee it
was planned to carry on these noon

1t should be understood that the
commissioner of public safety has
steadily refused to give permits for
us to speak, although it is his duty
to do so. He has even told Fred Beal,
committeeman, to get out of his
Office. This outrageous act on the part
of this peanut politician has only
aroused the workers on the committee
all the more and the noon rallies are
being held in spite of him.

at this meeting it was announced that

The textile workers have always
listened very attentively to Com

unemployment have evidently sapped
their last resources and left them
weakened for the fight. But the &C

fighting spirit into them. Perhaps

Already the Workers (Communist)

IRISH WORKERS
And PEASANTS
DIE OF FAMINE
New York Gets Busy on
Relief Work
tspeoIaI 70 Lac palIy Worker,


NEW YORK, March 26.-Word has
reached here that deaths are occur
ring in the Irish famine. While the
capitalist press denies that there is
any famine (altho few well-informed
American papers must admit that the
situation is more serious than the
fearful famine of 1881, while the
Irish Free State denies that the stu
alton is at all distressing, while Irish
American politicians declare that Ire
land can get along without "alms"-
while these well-fed people strut
about, the Irish workers and peasants
are starving and dying.
Deaths from starvation have oc.
Cured and men set upon relief work
in the shape Of road making have
been found too weak from underfeed-
ing to handle the hammers for stone
breaking" The relieving officer of

board that "sons of the people in the
district are too weak from hunger to
give me the information / wanted"
Hungry and Cold.
Children are going about hungry
and cold. Their clothing is torn.
Their homes are cold, for the peat
could not be dried owing to the con-
tinued rains. And coal cannot be
bought by the poor Irish workers and
peasants, since it is totally beyond
their means.
The only cure that the London
Times offers is the whole sale trans
fer Of the population" Even if this
were feasible what are the workers
and peasants to do at the present
time? And why should this transfag
take place II there is no famlne9
The situation is so serious that the
American workers must act at once.
In 1921 and 1922 they generously re-
sponded to the call of the Russian
workers and peasants for aid during
their fearful famine. In 1928 and
1924, they aided the starving workers
in the Ruhr. They will not forget
their struggling brothers and sisters
