CHILEAN PARTY
EXPELS DEPUTY
FOR BAD VOTING
Disobeyed Order Upon
Vote to Censure
Especial to The DAILY workor)

SANTIAGO, Chile, (By Mail)-The
Communist Party OF Chile expelled
from the party Abraham Quevedo,
Communist member of the chamber
of deputies, because contrary to the
decision OF the party and the depu-
ties Of the "Asalariados" ("Party of
the Wage. Earners") allied with the
Communists, he voted a motion to
censure the government. This motion
was submitted by a deputy Of the
Radical Party"-Espejo Condo, hith-
erto allied with the present conserve
tive-ltberal government combination.
A ReaotIonary Move.
The executive committee Of the
Communist Party decided TO abstain
from voting on this motion because it
was known that behind it was the
Association Of the Nitrate Industrial
lists, which wanted the overthrow Of
the present government in order to
establish a new government entirely
subservient to the nitrate interests
and willing to reduce the export tax
on nitrates.
The export tax on nitrates is one
of the principal sources of income
of the government, constituting about
so per cent OF the entire revenue The
nitrate interests want It reduced in
order to be better able to compete
against nitrates OF other countries
and against the synthetic nitrates
manufactured in Germany.
A Conservative Regime.
The present government is the re-
suit of the combination Of all bour-
geois parties who elected conserva-
tive as president against the candi-
date of the "Asalariados" ("Wage
Farmers Party') which was support
ed by the Communists and which OBJ
tanned more than one-third Of all
votes cast for president.
Tho the present government is by
no means sympathetic to labor, the nj
trate government which would have
resulted from It's overthrow, would
have had to replace the loss in taxes
by indirect taxation and would fur
Their curtail the rights Of the work
ers in the nitrate districts.
Whole Regarded over the Section.
Thus the Communist Party decid-
ed that it had to abstain from voting
against a bourgeoisie government, the
overthrow of which might have re-
suited in the reduction Of unemploy-
ment in the nitrate districts, if the
measures proposed by the nitrate In
terests stimulated the industry. On
the other hand the proletariat of the
whole country would have suffered
economically and the workers in the
nitrate districts would have been fur
Their oppressed in their political and
trade union activity.
Quevedo is now publishing and
spreading pamphlets attacking the
decision and the activity Of the party
