to the republican caucus and it is ru-
mored that one of the Wisconsin SEN
ators has broken away from "Fightin
Bob" Those stalwarts we're never
united behind anything more ideals
tic than the expectation that the Tea
pot Dome and other scandals would
drive LaFollette into Office or at least
into such a commanding position in
the senate and house that he would
hold the balance of power and die
tate terms This did not happen,
hence the flight.
XNTHILE the senate is riding" the
Wv president on his nomination Of
Charles B. Warren, for the post of at
torney general, Coolidge is displaying
his usual caution by riding an electric
hobby horse. This horse can walk,
trot, or gallop, when the president
presses the right button. Being ac-
customed to making the legislature
work, Silent Cal is said to be an ex-
pert at making his horse go thru its
PAGES. But sometimes he presses the
wrong button. This must have hap
pened in the Warren case.
THE Greek government has protest
| ed to the league of nations against
the expulsion of the patriarch of the
Greek catholic church from Constan-
tinople Greece feels that her bour-
geois dignity has been tempered with.
But what can the league do about it?
The principal stockholders in the
league are England and France and
they cannot afford to go to war just
now.
THE revolutionary pot is boiling
angrily in the Balkans. A Bull
garian garrison revolted, but the re-
volt was crushed by other detach-
ments, so says the news report But
revolts are not put down so easily.
1t should not be forgotten that Baron
WrangeIs troops are in Bulgaria and
it is for those bandits that Baroness
Wrangel is collecting money in Amer
lea at the present time. She is not
very successful, we understand, sim
ply because the wives and daughters
of the American bourgeoisie are get
ting fed up on Russian refugees"
THE Pashitch government of Jugo-
Slavia secured a bare majority
over the opposition parties in the re-
cent elections. The Raditch Creation
peasant party only lost one seat.
The Pashitch government is fascist
and is ruling with an iron hand. The
workers and peasants organizations
have been suppressed and the life of
a revolutionist is not secure for one
moment. Even with the use of force
and coercion, more than half the pop
ulation voted against the Pashitch
brigands. The revolutionary volcano
cannot be smothered very long.
CENATOR MAGNUS JOHNSON,
Owho won fame if not fortune, by
engaging in a milking contest with a
former secretary of agriculture is still
interested in COWS. His latest bid
for notoriety is advocating an in
crease in the import duty on butter.
This ought to prove to the republi-
can caucus leaders that Magnus is
training to ride the elephant.
A FRENCH newspaper is being
n prosecuted by the government for
the publication of false news of Boil
shevist propaganda in France. This
paper is making war on Herriot for
recognizing the Soviet government. 1t
is a Poincarist organ. Forged "Zin-
oyiev" letters are very popular on the
continent of Europe just now. so the
French reactionary sheet used one of
them. Herriot is not protecting Tin
oviev against forgeries, of course, but
he does not want to be given credit
for an increase of Communist propa-
ganda. gta
THE religious question is assuming
very serious proportions in
France. The catholics and the fas-
csti are making common cause
against the radicals. Mussolini, found
er of the Italian fascist was an atheist,
but returned to the church after he
organized his cutthroats. The church
in every country in Europe has made
common cause with the blacklist re-
action.
-
, CIR PHILIP DAWSON, British M.
DIP, was sleuthing around the bor-
ders Of Russia for several months,
seeing what he could see and hear.
He said that the leaders of Russia
were among the most intellectual and
best informed men in the world. but
we're also the most INSCRIPTIONS.
Coming from British imperialist this
is certainly much appreciated COM
pliment.
