Now Peru Finds Fault
with u. S. Inperialists

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2. =
Now it is Peru that is being forced
to find fault with the way in which
United States Imperialism is "arbi-
trating" the Tacna-Arica controversy.
Diplomatic negotiations for a settle
ment, which were begun here after
eleven months of pretended prepara-
ton for a plebiscite, have thus far
only served to widen a breach with
the Peruvian representatives.
Meantime General Lassiter still
holds the fort at Tacna-Arica for
American Imperialism, with a United
States cruiser in africa harbor to back
him up.
With Peru Withdrawing from the
plebiscite proceedings, Secretary Of
l'tate Kellogg has now reversed him.
elf by taking the position that Chile
was correct and Peru wrong in inter-
preting his recent note proposing "that
the good offices of the United States
be used" Peru accepted these good
offices" with the understanding that
the plebiscite was to be discontinued;
Chile accepted with the understanding
that the plebiscite be continued. And
there the situation rested today, with
the state department in the position of
being Misunderstanding with a
newly manufactured pretext for keep
ing the United States flag flying at
Tacna-Arica.
Observers here point amusedly to
the fact that only a few weeks ago
the U. S. government pretended to be
favoring Peru. Before that it seemed
to favor Chile. Actually, every one OF
its steps has had the effect Of rein
forcing United States imperialist con-
troll over the disputed provinces.

PASSAIC, N. J., April 2--while the
Forstmann and Huffman workers were
toiling at low wages barely able TO
make both ends meet. julius Forst-
mann, president Of the Forstmann and
Huffman company, and his family
were spending money lavishly in q
five months trip In the Orient.
Tho the company tries to dodge Civ
ing the workers living wages, claim
ing poverty, it's heads toured Europe
and the Orient living off the fat OF
the land. julius Forstmann has now
returned to Passaic. When approached
as to his attitude on the strike he de-
clared:

situation Che means his loss Of profts)
having done everything in my power
to make anything Of this sort unlikely.
Naturally, having been away for ave
months, / am not sufficiently &C
quainted with the immediate facts 20

make any statement at this time"
Albert Weisbord, leader OF the
strike, announces that the stock at
the Forstmann and Huffman mills has
run low and that attempts viii BE-
made to open the mills. He calls on
the strikers to redouble their efforts
on the picket lines 80 that the bosses

FRENCH INFLICT
JAIL HORRORS ON
SYRIAN SUSPECTS
Conhne Dozens in Small
Single Room
Especial to The Daily wOrksr)

DAMASCUS, April 2-The French
have filled the jails of this city full
of political suspects. Dozens are
jammed into rooms fit for five or six
at the utmost. There is absolutely no
sanitation or ventilation. Prisoners
are dying like flies. The horrors of
the "Blaok Hole" Of Calcutta were
not worse than those now being perpe-
trated upon these prisoners by the
civilized" French governor, who re-
fers to the Druse rebels as "barba-
rians."
Rife shooting in the city is common
every night. The French do not seem
to be making much progress in sup
pressing the rebellion.
The city is guarded by three lines
Of barbed wire, stretched entirely
around dt. At intervals there are
blockhouses, with detachments COM
posed usually of French officers with
colonials under them. The French use
Moroccans, whose own people are bat
Ting for their freedom, against the
Druses, fighting for their freedom.
This tactic is common to all the i'm
perialist powers.
Druses Hate Armenians.
Some of the blockhouses are manned
by native Armenians and Caucasians.
These are bitterly hated by the Druses.
Armed men of these two nationalities
raided the Moslem part Of the city
several weeks ago and killed and
wounded the Mohammedans in their
homes. Little children were brutally
slain and Moslem women raped. The
French governor did nothing beyond
ordering a perfunctory investigation,
as they are his strong allies. The
French are tanning whenever possible
the flames of religious hatred, easily
aroused in this country Of so many
ancient religions.
Druse Tactics.
The Druses have found that by
throwing a weighted line across the
barbed wire the signal bell will ring
In the blockhouses When the de-
tenders rush out the Druses, hiding
behind trees and other distractions,
shoot them down.
British Cooperate.
That there is close cooperation be-
tween Senator de Jouvenil, the French
high commander, and Lord Plumer,
the British high commissioner, is evi-
dent from the fact that he has gone
by auto to the Mount of Olives for a
five-day conference at the Mount of
Olives with Lord Plumer, the British
high commissioner.

FIGHTS FASCISM
Workers Unite to Com
bat Reactionaries

The second anti-fascist mass meet
ing held by the united front committee
composed of local 270 of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Of America
and radical Italian groups at which
Arturo Giovannitti spoke was as en-
thusiastic and as successful as the
one held at the Hull House.
At the second meeting Giovannitti
spoke on the French revolution Of 1889
and fascism. The speaker, with his
brilliant oratory, gave an excellent
picture of the conditions of the work
ers and peasants of France before the
revolution and described how the
workers and peasants seized power.
Praises Russian Revolution.
He dwelt on the Russian revolution,
which he declared surpassed IN its
intensity the French revolution, and
then pointed out how the Communists
of Russia did all they could to pre-
serve the victory Of the workers
against the combined attacks OF the
capitalist world and their henchmen.
Giovannitti pointed out that all Of
the forces of the feudalist powers were
thrown against the workers of Paris
to crush that tworking-class uprising
and that the capitalist world was doing
the same to Soviet Russia.
He then took up the uprising of the
Italian workers and pointed out that
after the workers had revolted in Italy
they established liberal regime in
the southern part of Italy and in some
spots of nortben Italy.
"Did Nsk Go Far Enough"
"At that time the workers did not
go far enough" declared Giovannitti,
"and that is why we have fascism in
Italy today..i He pointed out that
under the fascist regime conditions Of
the workers have gone from bad to
worse.
Communist Speaks.
L. Candida, member of the Workers
(Communist) Party, acted as chairman
Of the meeting. After the speech by
Giovannitti, Candida pointed out that
the persecution of the workers is be-
coming greater and greater under the
present system and that the number
of bastilles has been constantly null
tiplied and that jails are being filed
with active working-class fighters.
Candida called for a united effort of
all Italian workers in the fight against
fascism.
The meeting closed amid great en-
thusiasm and a bitter resentment of
the Italian workers towards the fascist
regime in Italy.
United Front Formed.
This meeting was a united front
affair in which workers of many di-
vergent political tendencies partici-
pated. These workers have decided
to hold meetings of the same type in
the future in order to fully show to
Italian workers in America the menace
of fascism and the urgent need to COM
bat this menace.
Arturo Giovannitti is touring the
country under the auspices of the
Italian chamber of commerce urging
Italian workers, to unite against fas-
cism.

Market ShOtUs Slight
Recovery Only

h~PSeAAt ~ tUV AAty NNVENorl
NEW YORK, April 49, The slight
recovery In the stock market due to
the natural reaction TO q violent drop
In prloes and necessary short ooVsr-
lnus has been the signal for the daily
'bally-hooers like Forbes andI HInman
Of the Hearst clan to treasure the ma
tlon that business 10 better than ever"
Deny Poor Business.
There is an ingrained impulse In all
the public heralds of finance to deny
any and all prospect OF poor business.
And while yesterday they were saying
that the drop in the market had no.
thing to do with ''the steady flow Of
good business" they now seize upon
q slight rise to demonstrate that all
is well with the world.
.se Decisive News.
The fact is that the decisive news
Of the financial district does not re-
ceive formal publication. And the
further fact is that this decisive news
does not augur we'll for 1926. The trif-
ling recovery in the stock market, that
in all likelihood will go even higher in
reaction 10 the terrific association Of
values the last week, in no way in.
dicates that the poor prospects that
caused the market to drop in the first
place have been eliminated.
1926 omens.
IL Is all very well for the Humans
to point happily to the figures for a
weeks car loadings or indexes Of cur
rent bank clearings. There is no
doubt that business, for the present,
Is not in q bad period. But this does
not explain away certain Ill omens
in the sky that will account for the
rest Of 1925. These omens are by no
means Of the best.
Steel Due for Drop.
The fact that the steel mills are
running at near capacity Just now
means only they are filing this quart
ers' current orders. Steel experts are
pointing with certainty to a marked
decrease Of unified orders by the end
of the month.
Warn Auto Industry.
While building is showing its usual
seasonal rise, the automobile industry
is being deluged with warnings that
the record production for practically
all companies has approached over
production The huge amount Of credit
involved in installment buying of cars
and other commodities is a sore on the
verge OF breaking with calamitous
results.
Workers VIII Know Later.
1t is pretty well agreed by those
who write for financiers in contradis-
tinction TO those who write for Hearst
that the long, high curve for 1925
makes 1926 due for a definite recess
sion. The real news of the slump,
thanks to President Coolidge, Brisbane
and Hinman, will not get to the work
ers generally until they are told by
the bosses they will have to lay on un-
I'll surplus stocks are marketed.

Catholic Leader Says
Anti-Alien Proposals
Create a Terror Reign

WASHINGTON-Aliens in the Unit
ed State are in a state of mind near to
panic, because OF continual talk Of
harsh deportation legislation and Of
alien registration, said VIM. F. Mon
tavon, speaking for the National
Catholic Welfare Conference, to the
house immigration committee. He
protested against various features in
the pending Haloday-Johnson deporta-
tion bill.
Montavon said he had lived many
years in South America. He display
ed newspaper from Begota, capital
Of Colombia, which contained an ar
ticle and editorial on the deportation
of an alien from New York for moral
turpitude. The editorial declared
that the deportation mania in the
United States had reached the point
where it was reign of terror. This,
to give good service in gathering and
Weighing testimony.
said Montavon, coming from one of
the most isolated capitals in the
world, indicated how far the panic had
spread. He urged the committee to
stop emphasizing the danger in the
unwanted aliens, and to emphasize
oftener the value and the duty of the
nation to the 100000 of useful and
law abiding aliens who are here. This
he said, was the road to American
ization.
Italians Fear MussoiinI.
In this connection he mentioned the
petition of anti-fascist Italians in this
country to Senator Borah, against any
deportation scheme that would deliver
them to death at the hands of Mus
solini. News Of this petition had trav-
eled far, and 1t expressed the real
fear in the hearts of great numbers
Of aliens who have come here TO make
their homes.
He said the law should have been
amended to remove the evils Of sum-
mary procedure at the hands of i'm
migration agents, who are too busy
