QUARREL over
OTHERS ARMS
Geneva Scene of Fake
'Disarm" Meeting
Especial to The Daily worksr)


GENEVA, June 4.=-France and the
'little entente" together with Italy,
are giving the big boys of the league
of nations conference on arms a
chance to split hairs as all angle for
advantage trying to disarm the other
fellow while keeping their own forces
untouched. IA
The French submitted a definition
of the peace-time ornaments specify
ing material and live stock in the
service in the army and navy and air
force in time of peacsP'
What an Service" Leaves Out.
1t is pointed out that this quietly
provided that even battleships made
ready for war could be built at will
without being counted as ornaments
''in service" until, when necessary to
use them, the fire could be built under
the boilers. the flags raised and the
fleet sent to sea.
Tho the doughboy might be listed as
the live stock" especially when COW
cred with coolies, the French have a
provision similar to the one on mate
rials to apply to man power, no re-
serves being counted as peace-time
forces. This comedies with the de-
sires of the United States, which has
nO-intention Of letting her militarist
schemes for a great army reserve be
prevented, by the league of nations or
anything else.
Brazil Plans Strike Breaking.
The French proposal provided, how
ever, that police, forest guards and all
forces available without mobilization
are to be counted as peace.time
forces" Brazil was afraid that militia
reserves called out to break strikes
of workers would be counted, there
fore, evidently expecting to break
strikes that way, Brazil objected.
The French replied that calling out
militia to break strikes was not mo-
bilization, therefore such militia had
to be counted as peace-time electives.
Brazil was voted down thirteen to
four, three, including the United
States, not voting. 4

PROGRESSIVES IN
CARP ENTER union
IN DEBATE DEFY
Johannsen Challenges
Reactionary Leader

Chicago carpenters are anticipating
which is scheduled to be held tomorrow
in Douglas Park Auditorium of Charles
H. Sands, ecretary-treasurer Of the
Chicago Council of Carpenters, to an
swer a challenge to debate issued by
Anton Johannsen, a prominent mem
Der Of the carpenters union, on be-
half of the United Progressive Caucus
Of carpenters, which is contesting the
forthcoming elections with the candi-
dates of the conservatives led by
Harry Jensen and Mr.. Sands.
Former S. L. p.
Sands, who is an ex-member OF the
Socialist Labor Party, once an avowed
advocate Of revolution and overthrow
Of the capitalism system, now looks
with ill-concealed displeasure on that
section of the membership Of the ca
penters union which has for its object
the development of that organization
into a fighting instrument for the
overthrow Of the capitalist system Of
exploitation.
In fact, union carpenters declare
that he does not even stop at attack
ing Soviet Russia, where the workers
own and control the government.
The Challenge.
In a recent speech made by Mr.
Sands before Local Union No. So he
challenged Brother Johannsen to de-
bate, charging the Progressive Caucus
with receiving its orders from Soviet
Russia.
Brother Johannsen Immediately ac-
cepted the challenge and in letter
to Mr.. Sands offered to meet him in
Douglas Park Auditorium tomorrow
at A p. m, Mr.. Sands to be free from
all liability for expense Of the hall
The carpenters are doubtful that Mr..
Sands will accept the challenge.
A prominent member of the carpen-
ters' union declared to a DAILY
WORKER reporter that Sands was
once the foe of reformism and was
the editor Of the Svenska Socialisten
now the Ny It'd, organ Of the Swedish
language section Of the Workers
(Communist) Party. Progressive car
penters apply the term renegade" to
Mr.. Sands because of his retreat from
the advanced position which he once
held.
Elections June IL.
The elections for officers Of the dis
trict council will be held on June IL.
The progressives have full ticket in
the field against the reactionaries, led
by Jensen and Sands.

EGYPT Yields
PORARILY
TO JOHN BULL
Fake independence Is
ZGghlOul Issue
Especial to Tho Daily workery

LONDON, England, June A. The
British foreign office has Issued a
statement to the effect that zaghlouI
Pasha, Egyptian nationalist leader
and former premier, who was deposed
after the assassination In 1924 of the
slrdar, Sir Lee Stack, will not take
the premiership of the new govern
ment, but that the office will be taken
by ABLY Pasha, when and If the pres
ont lackey Of British Imperialism,
zlwar Pasha, resigns.
British Terrorism.
The nationalist party of Zaghloul
won an overwhelming victory in the
recent elections in spite of every ef-
fort on the part of the British hackers
Of ziwar Pasha, the premier and
Fuad, the puppet king, to brand the
former premier as blood-thirsty as
sassin.
British Imperialism used the acquit-
tai Of six men charged with various
political crimes against Britain to
again threaten Egypt with the mailed
fist.
It is probable that the Zaghloullsts
yielded to the insulting demands Of
Britain in order to gain time in which
to prepare to defend the independence
OF Egypt against the invader.
Fake independence.
Limited independence" granted
Egypt by Britain in 1922 is the most
fragrant fraud, some Of the conditions
being that Britain is responsible for
the defense of Egypt (meaning armed
invasion under the pretext of main
tanning defensive forces in that coun-
try, control of foreign affairs, protec-
tion Of foreigners, protection Of the
Suez canal and control of the Sudan.
Because Zaghloul refuses to accept
such terms, Britain claims that he
has sacrificed the independence" Of
Egypt.
The logic Of events will drive the
Egyptians to take up arms against
British desDotism and the Baldwin
government is rather uneasy about
the situation and is preparing for the
impending colonial uprising that ap-
pears inevitable at this time.

themselves as narcotics to the flag
ged minds and tired bodies Of work
ers dragged thru the daily grind of
Americas metropolitan maelstrom.
Not that the stage generally under
capitalism is on any plane higher
than the level OF Carrons bathtub,
nor the capitalist press as a whole
any degree less filthy than the Hearst
sheets. They merely try to appear
so, veneered with the fake respec-
liability that prompted Carroll to
refer to his drunken parasite guests
rs ladies and gentlemen"
The Chicago Tribune, for instance,
carefully publishes the Hearst con-
nection with the Carroll party, dis
playing its customary "holier than
thou" attitude that has placed this
self-styled worlds greatest news
paper" in a class by itself, a class
toward which the Hearst sheets
aspire. Thus the veneered Tribune,
in its more modest black attire, that
does not so easily give evidence Of
mud and filth, proclaims in defense
of both stage and the law, that the
Carroll incident:
"a. ought to encourage a little
more respect for the restraints Of
common decency in quarters &C
oustomed to immunity from public
criticism which seems to have been
abused.
"But Mr.. Carroll was punished, at
least technically, not for scandal,
but for false swearing. In this legal
aspect of the case, as in the more
notorious social aspect, there is
acute need Of the lesson given"
This is laughable coming from
The Tribune, Tor 1t might be the
New York Times) with its vicious
trail running a broad swath thru
Chicago's whole civic history. When
Carrolps bathtub party and sub
sequent perjury are long forgotten,
the workers of Chicago will still re-
member the school leases secured
by The Tribune thru fraud, that has
robbed thousands of the working
class children of the little education
to which they are supposed to be
entitled. Carroll's crime consisted
in getting caught, or in not having
sufficient power to bully his way out
of a tight situation. In that alone
he has set bad example, and must
be punished. But II he will do bet
ter next time, the convict's stripes
he may have to wear will soon be
forgotten.
The Carroll incident is not an iso-
lated one. 1t is just another revela-
ton of the decadent bourgeoisie
seeking stimulation in its pleasure
cesspools. Every day almost the
saffron press reveals some new
similar incident that raises another
sitting stencil.
In the days before the world war
1t was the Russian aristocracy that
was given full leeway in the licen-
tious life of Paris. Now this de-
posed aristocracy waits on the new
rich American parasites who have
taken their places in the gambling
houses, designation dens and pleas
ure resorts. CAROLS efforts to
bring bit Of this Paris atmosphere
to Broadway was not appreciated.
But where he failed others will sue
coed. Parasites under capitalism
insist on it.

Bathtub Orgy Not an
Isolated Incident in
Life of Bourgeoisie
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

CAPITALIST morality again claims
~ It has been vindicated. Earl.
Carroll, producer of risque shows on
Broadway, has been sentenced to a
year and days Imprisonment. 1t is
risky TO go the limit, even on New
York's Great White Way. But 1t
seems that hiring a 17-year-old girl
to battle nude in bathtub of cham
payne, while debauched parasites
drank their fill, didn't constitute
"the limit" That came when Carroll,
the Snowman, failed to tell "the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth" to the grand jury that
investigated the bacchanal. Sacred
capitalist Justice" must not be
trified with.
II Is poor old Arthur Brisbane,
Hearst's editorial buffoon of the kept
press redlights, who whispers:
"Mr. Carroll, who hired a girl Of
II to appear naked in a bathtub
partly filled with alleged cham
payne, Is fined $4,000 and sentenced
to prison for one year.
"But he Is punished for lying to
the grand jury, not for outraelng
public deeency and contributing to
the degradation Of 17-year-old girl.
This is a queer civilization"
Yet it was q Hearst editor, Philip
Payne, of the New York Mirror, who
was at the bathtub side as a mem
Der of what Carroll calls private
gathering attended by ladies and
gentleman" Carroll compared the
Hearst-Brisbane kept man with
Judas who betrayed the Christ for
80 pieces Of silver when he declared
bitterly after receiving sentence
that:
For 80 pleas Of type he broke a
story which not only broke one Of
the cardinal rules of friendship, but
also proved that a gentleman, who
is always a reporter cannot always
be gentleman. l understand that
Mr.. Payne's salary increases with
the circulation of his paper"
Thirty pleas Of type constitute
about five inches in a column. That
isn't much in the days work of the
capitalist press. No more than the
giving of bathtub orgy is part Of
the activities of the American stage.
But they are symptoms Of the disease
that permeates both.
Hearst started 1.-THE Mirror" a
tabloid sheet, to compete with the
Daily News, another tabloid, the
first of its kind in New York.
launched by the Chicago Tribune.
The tabloids revel in smut. every
reporter a snooper!" is the COM
mand of the editors that rally the
hired writer's to their daily tasks.
The editor, Philip Payne, was at
the Carroll party in his role Of
"snooper" who knew that five pleas
of type would quickly expand into
many pages Of type and pictures as
days wore on, the stuff that gets
circulation.
Carroll dragged the stage into the
gutter with his party, in full view
of the nation, and thus became part
ner with Payne, the editor Of gut
ter newspaper that finds its susie
nance in the social filth of the capt.
talist order that rules in the land.
CAROLS shows cater to the tired
business man" just as the Hearst

Agreement Ratification
(By Dispatch A. 2. wire)


PARIS, Aug. 6. - Hostility to Pre-
mier Poincare's proposed move to push
for ratification of the debt agree
ments with the United States and
Great Britain expressed in the parlia-
mentary lobbies today, has caused the
government to postpone discussion of
the pacts in a ministerial council to-
morrow as was planned. Instead, the
ministers will meet Monday.
M Berenger,. ambassador to the
United States, VINO negotiated the
Washington debt agreement, has de-
fcrred his departure for the United
States until the situation is straight
ened out by ratification. He said to-
day that he expected ratification be-
fore the close of the present session.
M Poincares original intention, as
sent out in the form of trial ballot
this morning, was to get the chamber
and senate finance and foreign affairs
committees to name reporters" to
bring in recommendations for ratifca !.
tion of both agreements as soon as
the senate and chamber sitting ut

port out the debt accords favorably,

CATTLE STEALING CHARGES
AGAINST .GJORKOVICH DROPPEl


BlSBEE, Aug. 6.-Tom Gjorkovich,
charged with stealing cattle, was ac-
quilted on an instructed verdict today
after his attorney had asked for dis
missal of the charges on the grounds
that he already had been in jeopardy.
Gjorkovichs case was called at the
last term of the superior court. but it
was discovered that the information
charged hi mwith having committed
the offense just year previous to the
date the cattle actually were stolen.
The charge was dismissed and new in
formation drawn up. After several
rulings on similar cases in other states
had been cited by the defense, Judge
Albert M. Sames ruled that the orig
inal complaint was valid and therefore
the defendant had been placed in jeo-
pardy.
