ion"
The declaration of Kuehne and Neu-
mann says further that the contention
of Ruth Fischer that the attacks upon
Maslov were caused by political
motives with the intention of dis
crediting him personally" represents
an unheard of attack upon the highest
organs of the German Communist
Party and of the comintern. Maslov
had not conducted his defence in ac-
cordance with the disposition handed
in by him, in particular he made the
revelations upon his stay in Moscow
without the knowledge of the central
committee.
AS a commentary upon the conten-
tion of Ruth Fischer that the attitude
of Maslov before the bourgeois court
was not merely irreproachable. but an
excellent representation of the Com
munist idea and the Communist Party,
the following passages were quoted
from the protocol of the Maslov pro-
cess: Maslov had declared that the
slogan of the workers and peasants
government was mot even good pro-
paganda slogan" protocol, Page 53.)
He had declared in this connection:
I'VE in Berlin we're not in agreement
with this, we felt ourselves bound by
party discipline" Before the bour-
geois court Maslov appealed to his
pessimism about the revolutionary de-
yelopment.
Maslov practically denounced the

in January 1923 who were later ac-

ton as to whether he had conducted
himself worthily or unworthily, the
question was a purely political one"
The letter is signed: Ruth Fischer,
member of the central committee of
the Communist Party of Germany.
Fischer Stand Repudiated.
After the letter of Ruth Fischer had
been read, a declaration of Otto
Kuehnes and Helm Neumann in the
name of the representative of the cen
trail committee Of the German Com
munist Party in the executive COM
mittee Of the Communist Interna-
tional was made known.
This declaration was to the effect
that:
Ruth Fischer had no mandate as
member of the central committee
OF the German Communist Party to
make any declaration whatever in the
case of Maslov.
2. Her letter stood in the Grass
est contradiction to the opinion of the
central committee and to the decis-
ions of the party conference of the
German Communist Party.
8. AS Ruth Fischer as a member
of the German central committee now
broke for the first time the silence
upon the resolution in the Maslov
case, decided upon by the party con-
ference, the signatories consider them
selves in duty bound to convey to the
fourteenth party congress the main
contents Of the resolution in question
in answer to the false representations
OF Ruth Fischer.
The text OF the resolution says,
amongst other things: "The first ma
tional party conference declares that
the attitude OF Maslov before the
supreme court was unworthy of a
leader Of revolutionary party, of the
Communist party of Germany. The
revolutionary aims of the German
Communist Party were never so incor-
rectly presented in any other process
against German revolutionaries as
they were in the Maslov process.

AMERICANS PLAN

Get Blank Mortgage Up

Especial to The Daily Worker

BERLIN, Feb. "a - A syndicate of
American bankers, of which the New
York firm Of Harris, Forbes & Co,
are managers, has purchased a $15,-
100000 bond issue jointly covering a
large number of small cities and
towns Of Germany. The arrange
ments for this financing are quite un-
like any other loan deals and are i'm
portant because most future financing
is expected to follow the same lines.
Negotiations have been pending for
this loan for over a year.
The German Savings Bank and
Clearing Association is used as the
medium for embodying the credit fa-
cilities of the villages and towns de-
string loan. This association, form
ed in 1924, has over 5000 savings
banks affiliated which in turn have
over 5000 branches. The association
has in addition a membership now of
5000 cities, towns, and municipal dis
tricts, with a total population of ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the coun-
try's entire population. The member
ship includes such important centers
as Berlin, Bremen, Frankfort, Dres-

BRITISH SCHEME
TO BAR OUT U. S.
MOTION FILMS
Will Require Registra-
ton to Produce Pictures
tspeelaI TO The Daily Worker,

Especial 10 ! ne LAZY WOTRCTy
LONDON, Feb. 24.-The trade war
between Great Britain and the United
States is getting hotter. British in,
dustry is fighting on its national soil
for self-preservation. This is the
significance of the agreement by which
the very powerful federation of British
industries will back for passage in
parliament a bill for the protection
from foreign competition of the mo-
tion picture business in all it's various
angles.
All films will have to be registered
before a body appointed for that pur-
pose. No foreign film may be dis
played by licensed distributors. For
the year October 1, 1926, to September
30, 1927, feet of foreign film may
be shown to foot of British. For the
following year the proportion is feet
of foreign to 2 feet of British. From
October /, 1928, there will be at least
feet of British to feet of foreign
film.
Scenario Writers Must BE British.
The bill also provides for the see
mario writer's and all the principal
artists and the staff employed in the
production to be British. AS the ma
tive industry has to go thru a distinct
building up stage it is stipulated that
for the first two years a certain pro-
portion of foreign technical assistants
may be allowed. The rigid enforce
ment of the bill is sure to hit the
American motion picture business
very heavily. American pictures are
extremely popular here and the vast
majority of all films shown come from
United States studios.
A Difficult Problem.
Protection in this case involves,
however, certain factors absent in the
usual manufacturing industry. These
difficulties center chiefly about the
drawing value of "stars." The British
will either have to spend huge sums
to advertise stars of their own, whose
attraction must then be equal to the
world-known Americans, or they must
be able to arouse sufficient patriotic
feeling to get the ordinary worker and
middleclass patron to accept an Eng
lish attraction of inferior merit as his
national duty.

New Zealand Election
Shows False Face of
Capitalist Democracy

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, (By
Mail. )-The complete returns on the
New Zealand elections which were
held the end of December, show that
while the labor party gained nearly
10000 votes on their poll in 1922, they
secured six less seats in the legisla-
ture.
The losses were due to the virtual
coalition Of the reform and national
parties and the vicissitudes of the rep
resentative system. Tho the reform
candidates got less than twice as
many votes as the labor candidates,
there were five times as many of
them elected.

Among the unusual features of the Fall-Doheny trial will be the class of men selected for jurymen. No voter of either the Democratic or Republi- can or the minor political parties will be found on this jury. The law of the District of Columbia provides that to be eligible for jury service man must be an actual resident of Wash ington, without claim to voting residence elsewhere. Furthermore no man connected with the government is eligible for duty on the trial jury.
 The present action is brought under a special law enacted by Congress in 1921, which directed the President to institute civil suits and criminal ac- tions against cancellation of the nav al oil reserves in California and Wyo- ming and against all those charged with criminality in connection with the awarding of the leases.
