MOSCOW, U. S. S. f., (By Impre-

new on the activities of the central
executive committee Of the Russian
Communist Party, he points out that
the new alignment of capitalist pow
ers around the Locarno peace pact,
which Is meant to stranole the Soviet
Union and destroy the first working
class republic, are powerIess to carry
out their evil Intentions and that the
Soviet Union will have a period Of
peaceful development.
Kamenev points out that by bribing
Germany, the French and British cap
italists now have access to the Soviet
Unions frontiers. He further points
out that tho they desire greatly to
start war against the Soviet Union,
they dare not do so, because of the
revolutionary upheavals In their col
onial and semi-colonial possessions
and the growing militancy of the
workers in their own lands. His re-
port before one of the Moscow dis
tricts in which he deals with the
nature of the Locarno peace pact
follows:
The past year has been, as regards
our foreign policy year of fairly
complicated and contradictory events.
On the one hand the year has been full
of attempts on the part of the CAPT
talist countries to come to an under

WHEELER CASE

OF U. S. court
Department of Justice
Persecution Ends
tspeoIaI 70 Ths DaIIy worke,l


WASHINGTON, Dec. 29--Iudiet-
ment Of Senator Burton X. Wheeler
Of Montana, on charges Of conspiracy
to .defraud the government in obtain
ing oil and gas land permits, was
thrown out Of federal court here.
The court held that Wheeler should
not be tried on this indictment as he
had previously been acquitted in Mon
tana on identical charges OF misusing
his senatorial influence to gain favors
for Campbell at the department of
the interior here.
This action of the court brot to a
close one of the most sensational
cases instituted in recent years by
the department Of justice as re-
prisal against someone who had been
able to get the goods on the de-
partment Wheeler was bounded for
his part in the Teapot Dome oil steal

brother, Banker Nal Daugherty and a

sessions. After getting an indict-
ment against Wheeler in Montana
the department of justice secured a
second bill against him here. In
Montana, Wheeler was acquitted.
Then special attorneys were hired to
prosecute the case in Washington.
viii No. Appeal.
1t is not believed that the depart
ment of justice will prosecute the
case as the attending publicity and
the trial might disclose a few facts
which have been successfully hidden
The two indictments against
Wheeler grew out of his relation to
Campbell as an attorney. After his
election to the senate, Wheeler
agreed to handle some Montana oil
litigation for Campbell. None of this
work, however, took him before fed
eral departments, Wheeler insisted.
The government maintained that
Wheeler had represented Campbell at
the interior, on this charge, Wheeler
was acquitted.
To Get More Oil Land.
In the second indictment, the gov
eminent charged that Wheeler, thru
his friendship and influence with
Booth, was to get for Campbell more
than the legal number of prospecting
permits. Money to be derived from
the land thus secured was to be split
three ways, between Campbell,
Wheeler and Booth. To get the land,
the government contended that Camp
bell, with Wheeler's knowledge, sent
in dummy" applications to the in
terror.
Because the permits and land in
question were the same in both bills,
Wheeler submitted a plea of former
acquittal as chief basis for throwing
out the second indictment. He in
sisted that the alleged overt acts in
