Economic Concession Is
Basis of Agreement
tspeeInl to rhs DAILY worker,

BERLIN, April IS - The friendly
relations established between Ger
many and the Soviet Republics thru
the RapalIo treaty has now been
strengthened by new treaty cover
ing economic and political relations
and mutual understanding in times
of attack upon either nation, accord
ing to information learned in advance
of the publication Of the treaty by
either government.
Among the assurances in the treaty
are /, Mutual neutrality: 2, Ger
many binds herself to enter no at
tack, economic or otherwise upon the
Soviet Union Disputes arising be-
wcen the two nations shall be left
81 settlement in a non-partisan court
The Luther cabinet has authorized
DR.. Stresemann, foreign minister. to
sign and Ambassador Krestlnsky has
signed in behalf Of the Soviet Union
"A bridge between Berlin and
Moscow is a much better safeguard
of European peace than Polish
army" was the way one of the diplo-
mats commented on the agreement.
1t is regarded as more of an economic
treaty and is not aimed to be an Of
fensive or defensive document It
seems to follow out the Soviet Unions
idea that the best way to do away
with war is to promote the use Of
the pillow and the machine.
Their has arisen an undercurrent of
great excitement in other European
capitals. German diplomats agree that
it might be an inopportune time to
sign such a treaty but they inform the
public that it was not their fault that
their recent attempt to enter the
league of nations failed.
1t is expected that all parties except
the Peoples (Fascis) Party headed
by General Won Ludendorff will back
the treaty.
The anti-treaty propaganda press
spread the usual scarehead stories
that Germany would be compelled to
report all confidential negotiations
with other powers and the league of
nations affecting the interest of both.
But the economic necessity of Ger
many at this time has overcome the
opposition at all points.
Russia's fears are somewhat allayed
by the treaty wherein Germany might
be forced to participate in an anti
Soviet Russian crusade and be com
PEELED to permit allied troops to march
thru Germany against the Soviets.

COLLABORATION
Fascist Wage War on
Birth Control

ROME, April rs Fascist news
papers are giving much attention to
future collaboration between the
United States and Italy. II Message
gero talks about italian hands and
American money" for the exploitation
Of the Levant, Africa, Arabia and East
India. This theory fits easily into the
scheme Of the new fascist imperialism
which is based upon colonial expan.
sion but that needs capital to make
this expansion effective.
Debt Settlement Acclaimed.
The news from America that the
italian debt has been favorably set
tied feeds the fire of the theory that
the United States and Italy are
natural collaborators7 in colonial dew
elopment. Fascist newspapers are ac-
claiming the settlement as victory
for fascism.
War On Birth Control.
Signor Federzoni, minister OF the
interior, has begun war on birth
control. The fascists claim that Italy,
altho over-populated oand becoming
mere so every year. must take care
OF its surplus population by building
ND colonies. Certain districts of the
country under the influence OF for
eigners" have been infected with
birth control.

Despite Italy's 100000 babies year.
this must be stopped, says Federzoni
and measures are being taken to fight
the danger" At present rate Of in
crease. the population of Italy will be
100000 by 1910 It rs now little
over 100000.

Jock started off in the lead. At
the end of eight holes he had Barnes
down. At this point Jim braced
and for 20 succeeding holes the Hutch
either had to bow to his opponent or
accept a halve.
But despite the record set from the
ninth to the twenty eighth hole,
Barnes was able to do no more than
overcome Jocks early lead 1t was
nip and tuck from then on. Jock
won the thirty-third hole, putting him
l to the good. The thirty-fourth was
halved. So, with only two holes re-
naming, Barnes was l down. His
chance to win the title didn't seem
worth betting on.
Got Good Drives.
Shooting from the seventeenth Tor
thirty-fifth) tee, Jim and Jock got
good drives. But after the second
shots the gallery was left deeply sur
prised, believing that both players
had gone off their game.
Jocks mashie shot went over the
green and into a deep bunker at the
left side. Jim's ball fell considerably
short of the green. The general i'm
preston was that both contestants
were beginning to feel the strain of
the close struggle.
ooSb 0AeA@"toh . Shob
was an error. that Of Barnes was
not. 1t had been deliberately calcu-
lated and executed according to plan.
The seventeenth hole at Siwanoy
measured about 400 yards, calling fol
drive and a mashie to the green.
After the drive, the fairway rises at
a considerable grade to an elevated
green, so that the player, pitching
up over the slope, cannot see what
happens to his ball after 1t finishes
it's roll on the green.
The traps guarding the green con-
sisted OF a big bunker along the left
side which bent around a bit to the
rear and a deep pit at the front cor
ner on the right.
Green Was slipping.
The green was so constructed that
1t sloped from right to left. On a
play to the green one would natural
ly shoot to the right, so that the
ball would roll toward the cup in
stead of away from 1t. But in SO
doing there was always danger of
getting In the pit. On the other
hand. a ball pitched left of the cup
might easily be shunted off into the
bunker on that side.
BY getting a longer drive than
Jock, Barnes was able to watch his
play to the green. He saw his OPP
ponent's ball drop little to the left
Of the cup. almost hole-h1Sh.
