children more? One of the
married men took it upon him
self to reply something in this
manner: why, Of course, a
man loves his children more
they are his own flesh and
blood. OF course, there's no
denying, l love my wife, but
love my children more.
Now this man is a very good
husband, married four years, two
adorable children and a young,
attractive wife. His wife felt
very much hurt on the above
occasion and, az an outsider, 1
was asked for an opinion. To
my mind this man was entirely
wrong, though evidently sincere
in what he said.
Anyway, we decided to put the
question uR to you. How about
it, Elsie? E. K.
A useless question" you say.
Yes, but pitifully common one.
Constantly we hear some version
Of it.
who do you love most, YOUR
mother or me?" cries the young
wife.
That's a swell question COM
ing from YOU!" retorts the
young husband; when anyone
can see you love your mother
more than you do me-"
Who do you love most, papa
or us!' cry the children, infected
by the plague OF jealousy which
is in the air.
Nor do we limit our query to
individuals. who do you love
most, God, Americans or foreign
ers?" should be our latest ma
tional anthem, so sure are we
that love. human or divine, must
always play favorites.
Why do we torment ourselves
and others with this question?
Because we are still so far from

NATURALIZATION
OF CHILDREN AND
BOLSHEvISM, TOO!
Capitalist Arguments on
10th Amendment

NEW YORK.-ChHd marriages and
child labor held the floor at the public
hearing of the New York state com.
mission to examine laws relating to
child welfare. Sen. Benjamin Antin,
who has been quoted in favor of the
federal amendment on child labor, pre-.
sided.
The old arguments for and against
the amendment were dragged out with
the familiar cry of Bolshevism. James
p. Holland, president New York State
Federation of Labor, and John P.
Coughlin, secretary New York City
Central Trades and Labor Assembly,
spoke for the amendment.
Charges that even worse results
than the 18th amendment brought
would result from the Goth, were made
by William McCarroll, director OF
the New York board Of trade .ant
transportation. Mrs. z. S. Shumway
OF the New York committee for pro.
lection Of our homes and children,
agreed with McCarroll that the amend
ment would mean naturalization"
of children.
Limitation of immigration will in
crease the number Of child workers
according to George w. Alger, chair
man New York child labor commit
tee, who argued against McCarroll.
Already, he claimed, reports from 80
cities show an increase of 20 per cent
in child labor and nine cities report
an increase Of so per cent. He said
il was ridiculous to claim that a meas
ure endorsed by Pres. Coolidge, Hard
ing and Lodge could be in any way
Bolshevistic. Mrs. +. Louis Slade,
president New York state league of
women voters, said opponents of the
child labor amendment were moved
by business considerations.
A hasty marriage bill which would
make Ave days delay after obtaining
license compulsory is proposed tc
combat the child marriages permits
sible in New York. Those favoring
the bill say that children are married
under 16 in the state to enable them
to quit school and go to work.

BERLIN, Jan. 1.-The social demo.

French BID
ON Debt NOT
ACCEPTABLE
InfnitesmaI Interest and
so Years to Pay
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, Jan. A.
Administration officials today
envisioned a long and tedious
period of negotiation over the
funding of the $4.0o0,O00, O0o
French war debt.
If the CIementeI note, now
reported enroute to Washing
ton, bears out the summaries of
it that have been cabled in press
dispatches from Paris, it is con-
sidered a foregone conclusion
here that the terms proposed by
France will prove wholly unac-
ceptable to the United States.
These terms are understood to
be:
1. A moratorium of ten years.
2. An interest rate of one-half OF
one per cent.
8. Payments to be made over a
period Of 80 years.
Such terms would mark radical
departure from the basic agreements
provided in other debt settlements
and undoubtedly would lead to much
opposition in congress, which must, in
the end, approve any bargain made by
the American debt funding commits.

The state department announced to.
day that at the meeting of the allied
finance ministers at Paris next Tues.

resented by Ambassador Frank B.
Kellogg, at London; Ambassador
Myron T. Herrick at Paris, in add.
ton to Col. james A. Logan, the Gus.

Lest the presence of three such dis.
tinguished American diplomats at this
conference be misinterpreted. officials
at the department reiterated that
under no circumstances would they
engage in a discussion Of American
war debts.

DELEGATES FIGHT

IN FEDERATION
Military Training Camps
Are Denounced

The mere talk of expelling Com
munists from the Chicago Federation
OF Labor met quick and severe opposi-
ton in the federation meeting yester-
day. Only one delegate, who started
the discussion, had the temerity to
mention It, and he was talked down by
every one else who spoke. Likewise the
support of the citizens military train
ing camps given by the federation's
delegate to the A. F. of L. convention
was holly denounced by a great many
delegates, among them ex-service
men in the delegate body.
Upon the report of the executive
council, Delegate Swabeck of the
Painters union spoke in vigorous pro.
test Of the action of the federation's
delegate to the Ell Paso convention OF
the A. F. OF L., particularly in his
support Of the resolution making the
labor unoin officials recruiting agents
for the citizens military training
camps.
Denounces Union Recruiting for Army
Swabeck denounced the leaders Of
the A. f. of l.. as the willing hand
maidens Of capitalist imperialism
helping the capitalists prepare for an.
other world war. We face, he de-
clared, another great war or profound
business depression, and the leaders
OF the American Federation were busy
collaborating with the capitalists to
lead the workers again into the
trenches, instead OF building up the
membership Of the unions which were
wasting away.
He cited the fizzle OF the so-called
"steel campaign" where tens OF
thousands of dollars had been spent
with no organization TO show for Il.

MINERS DIE
IN BLOW UP OF
unsafe POCKET
Coal Mine Was Old and
Gaseous
Especial to the Daily Worker,

w. FRANKFORT, ILL.,, Jan. a.
One coal miner is dead,
another is dying. and several
were severely injured here when
a fall of coal in some old and
unsafe, workings Of Miae No. 1e
of the Industrial Coal company
caused an explosion.
The workings of the mine
were filed with gas. The safety
laws were directly violated
when the men were allowed to
work in a mine in which there
was danger of the coal falling
at any time.
Falling Coal Releases Gas.
The falling coal released a pocket
Of gas, which rushed into the entry
where the men were on their way to
work, being ignited when it came into
contact with the lamps of the miners
Beveridge McKeever, lad of 81
years Of age, was badly burned and
died yesterday in the hospital here
Ben Polinski is not expected to live.
Two other victims, N. w. Malone ane
w. T. Wade, were so badly burned
about the face and head that the.
will be difigured for life.
The Illinois laws require that the
mine be thoroly inspected before the
men are allowed to enter, and il gas
is found in the mine, the men mus.
be kept out of the workings. This
law was evidently violated, according
to the news dispatches.

BERLIN, Jan. 4.-Ruth Fisch-
err, leading figure in the German

of registering under fictitious

quent trips to her native coun-
try previously without molesta-
ton. It is freely stated here
that the arrest was made at the
instigatioR of the British geT
eminent which has an eco
nomic stranglehold on Austria
and is now busy perfecting a
Gordon of Balkan states for
hostile action against Soviet
Russia.
The proposed Balkan Federation of
Soviet Republics as against the pres
ent governmental satrapies of the big
capitalist powers has taken a strong
hold in the Balkans and England has
taken the lead in organizing the bour.
geoisie to resist the Sovietization of
the witches cauldron of Europe.
Using the Pope.
1t is now admitted for the first time
that the Vatican has been dragged into
the anti-Soviet plot. The pope is in
structed by the protestant British gov
eminent to use its influence among
the catholic populations and keep
their minds infammed against Com
munism. In view Of the pope's ALI
ance with the tumbling fascist regime
in Italy he must take England's or.
ders regardless OF the consequences.
He is between the devil and the deep
sea.
France has promised Britain support
against Russia but the former is con-
Quoting negotiations with Krassin and
the French have more to fear in the
immediate future from Britain than
from Soviet Russia. Capitalist ma.
lions cannot afford to take long and
altruistic view OF things, owing to the
keen competition between them.
Progress In China.
Soviet diplomacy has made tremen.
dous progress in China and it is con-
fidently expected that Sun Vat Sen,
the revolutionary Chinese leader, will
be the next president Of that country.
Japan and Russia have not yet signed
treaties but Japan needs the oil on
Saghalien Island for the use OF her
navy, and for her relations with the
western powers excluding France are
none too friendly. One Of the princi
pal specific reasons for the revival OF
hostility TO the Soviet government is
tho defeat Of the capitalist powers in.

= BERLIN, Jan. 4.-Germany on
Monday will have a new legislative
body in session without a cabinet
to direct the governments policies.
This situation was made evident
when Chancellor Marx again re-
ported to President Ebert that he
could not form a new cabinet. The
reason, he said, was that the CEN
trist party Is insisting on a coalition
which would include the social dem.
oerats. The German peoples party,
Marx said, refused to listen to any
coalition plan. Marx has announe-
ed the plan to make the new eabI-
net even more conservative than the
old.
