BERLIN, Feb. t4-The utter failure
Of the Dawes plan is shown in the
alarming growth in the number Of I'M
employed. SO serious Is the situation
that the relchstac has Increased the
out-of-work allowance by 80 per cent.
The total entirely without work Of
any kind If officially announced as
100000. Part time workers number
100000.
AS many more who receive unem-
ployment doles are looking vainly for
jobs in the industrial cities of the
country. In addition there are the
white collar" workers whose total
brings the proportion Of unemployed
up to an eighth OF the entire popula-
ton. In other words, one out of every
eight persons have no way of making
a living. This is a larger percentage
than in England.
The distress among the workers
places the social-democrats in a diff
cult situation for they were among
the staunches supporters of the
Dawes plan. Instead Of organizing
the proletariat for the overthrow of
the Hindenburg government, as the
Communists are, the social-democratic
leaders waste their time bargaining
for political positions with Luther,
the head of the coalition cabinet.

Little Entente Balks
at Soviet Recognition

VIENNA, Feb. IA The foreign
ministers Of the Little Entente,
Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, and
Roumania, meeting at Temsvar, have
agreed not to recognize the Soviet
Union at this time. DR.. Benes, of
Czecho-Slovakia, objected to the
recognition because 1t would enable
the Soviets TO establish consulates
thruout his country. 1t is reported
that a second conference of the min
listers will be held in May.
The Balkan pact, which would
unite Greece, Bulgaria, and Serbia,
was approved and the hope expressed
that the two latter nations would
take part. This alignment was a
product Of the. Locarno pact and all
these negotiations represent the eff
fort to establish a solid European
bloc against the Soviet Union.
The foreign ministers, who are
each responsible for the very large
armies maintained to prevent a labor
revolution in their own countries,
hypocritically complained of the size
of the Russian armed forces and al
legged that the Soviets were the bar to
general disarmament. Jon Druca,
foreign minister for Roumania, Gre
ated a sensation by his declaration
that as his own government was Ii
able to be overthrow at any moment,
the decisions reached would not be
binding so far as his country was
concerned.

Of the capitalist dictatorship. Frank
party platform.
Whether the United States govern
ment Is dominated by the republican
or democratic makes no difference
whatever. 1t is an instrument of OPP
preston of the workers directly aim
ing to break up the trade unions. In
1919, under the Wilson administra-
tion, the Anderson injunction was
handed down against the miners on
strike, In 1922, under the Harding
administration, the coal operators
were invited to open up their mines,
during the strike with scab labor
under government protection. The
same year the infamous Daugherty in
junction was issued against the strik-
ing railroad shopcrafts prohibiting
any and all legitimate trade union
activities. No protests were heard
from the so-called labor friends
amongst the capitalist politicians.
John H. Walker, in pleading for the
endorsement of the Kelley Cure
magnate of Dwight before the Chicago
Federation of Labor, cited some inter
esting statistics on crimes which I'M
doubtedly were correct. He stated
that 479o of all individuals falling on
the criminal road could be traced TO
the fact that their childhood had
witnessed the loss OF one or both
parents and its resulting social neg
lect. The other $50 could be traced
to heredity or defective environ
ments." Is this not a terrible indict-
ment Of the capitalist system and its
rulers? If parents die society is not
responsible for their children. Under
the economic conditions of the system
parents of working class families are
mostly both compelled to work in fac
tories to exc out meager existence.
the children, If not also in the fangs
of dreadful factory slavery are left to
care for themselves subject to the
sensational, poisonous capitalist pro-
paganda in their newspapers and
movies.
Such are the conditions, the "defec-
tive environments" which are being
upheld by the staunch supporters of
the old capitalist parties be they
Frank L. Smith or Mckinley or any
one else. The policy Of forwarding
friends and furnishing enemies"
amongst the agents of privilege, the
so-called policy Of political neutrality
is in reality no neutrality but becomes
outright support to the capitalist par
ties and thus support to the capitalist
system regardless of good" men and
bad men.
Need Labor Party.
The class struggle presents a series
OF cold bitter facts which on so-called
theory or policy of neutrality can
change. And the only security for the
workers, and the trade unionists in
particular is to recognize their class
position and act politically as class
protecting their class interests.
Despite the fact that the movement
for a labor party has received tenn
porary setbacks the policy to be
pursued by the Chicago Federation
OF Labor should be as first step to
call a conference of all trade unions

Visitors from different parts Of the

has issued his warning that tho he
knows this case will attract nation
wide attention and visitors viii come
from different parts OF the country to

Newspaper Reporters Flock to Trial.
Newspaper reporters from the big
eastern and middle western dailies
with their army Of photographers
were in and around the court room
to gather material for their stories
so that readers from far distant points
might be able to read of how the trial
is progressing.
The action Of the Lithuanian ma

up Bimba has caused many of the
more progressive Lithuanian workers
to line up with the International La
Dor Defense and other working class
organizations that are fighting this
case.

In an interview Irving Hoffman, rep

"The court officials and police Of

buried for 229 years.
"The law is undoubtedly on the
statute books, but It is my personal
opinion that we have advanced some
since the day this statute was in
voked We will fight this case to a
finish"
When Stanley Smith, the vice
president of the Lithuanian National
Hall Association, in which the talk
for which Bimba was arrested was
held, was interviewed he declared:
Dirty Frame-up.
1T is all a dirty frame-up. Unless
the Eudaco witnesses perjure them

speaker guilty Eudaco is the last
man in the world who should talk

interested in is getting control Of the

Our lives are made of heartbeats;

And the minutes make the hours,
And the hours grow into days.
The days go by so swiftly,
With never a pause between;
One year, then two, then seven,
And now it is seventeen!
The precious days of childhood.
How soon they slip away!
Almost man, 1 see him,
My boy Of yesterday.
But into each days growing
Let US build. with earnest care.
The love of all things holy.
Obedience. kindness, prayer.
Each day we learn lesson,
Faith, hope, and charity.
Each day we leave record
For the Book of Eternity.
It is not by deeds of greatness.
But small things greatly done.
That we make the highest record
With each days setting sun.
And it does not greatly matter
How much or how little we do;
If eaoh days work has been worthy,
The years will be worthy. too.
Some days will be fair and joyous,
And some will be hard to bear
We shall have abundant blessing,
We shall know distress and care.
But when our record is opened.
In the light of the great white throne,
Twill be worth the toll and struggle
To hear Christ say. well doneP'
