The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-09-04
By A. LANDY

All the Balkan countries are in the
hands of parasitic governments, main
tanning themselves by artificial means
and utilizing the same instruments
and organs of repression: legal and
military terror, police and fascist ac-
tivity. These reactionary govern
ments, supported by the big bour-
geoisie, are waging war against the
Balkan masses. In Roumania a sem
blance of partiamentarism is main
tanned. In Bulgaria, Greece and Jugo-
Slayia the ruling oligarchy has other
means at, its disposal. 1.-THE Balkan
elections" writes Barbusse, take
place under the direct pressure of the
gendarmes and the fascists and by
the brutal intervention of the authori-
ties" The so-called opposition par
ties are in reality hypocritical and SER
vile supporters of fascism, as is evil
denced by the activity of the social
democrats in Hungary and in the Bal
kans. The Bulgarian church has
called upon the people to help estab-
lish order Tor fascism). The reforms
that have been undertaken are moth.
ing but shams and dupery. Whereas
in all the Balkan countries, as we'll as
in Hungary, the powers have estab-.
lished a law for "the safety Of the
state" This law, which is essentially
the same in Roumania, Bulgaria, Jugo-
Slavia and Hungary, is the legal ex-
preston Of reactionary dictatorship.
BY virtue of these laws men and
women have been condemned to death
because they have harbored fugitives
sought by the police without knowing
that these fugitives were guilty or
without this guilt ever having been
established.
A number Of gendarmes in the Bal
kans is out of proportion to the popu-
lation: $4,000 in Roumania, and $4,000
in Jugo-Slavia. There are said to be
900 ex-oficers and soldiers of the
counter-revolutionary Wrangel in the
Balkans, constituting violent agent
of destruction and oppression in the
hands of the reactionary governments.
The nature of the crime these mercen-
aries are hired to commit is of little
Importance to them as long as it is
paid for and unpopular.

and the present loan. On the other
hand, if the new loan is contracted
with the present loaners, this will not
be necessary.
The loan is in dollars and must be
paid in dollars. At the emission of
the first series, the dollar was equal
to 81 Uruguayan centesimos, that is to
say, at par. The strong economic po-
sition of the United States makes it
foreseen that as payments are made,
the dollar will not decline, on the
contrary it is very likely that it will
rise. This will rebound to the injury
Of the Uruguayan government.
Then we observe the figure at which
the loan was contracted (91.53): in ac-
cord with this the government win
receive only $41,1SS,500, in place
OF the $45.00O,000; while on the
other hand the amount It must pay
between interest and amortization, as
cends 30 sum OF from s91, 100000 to
s92, 900, 900.

will be dedicated to cancel previous
loans not wholly covered. $500. 900
for our ridiculous army. and the rest
for public works. The character Of
these public works obliges their con-
struction TO be slow, which results In
the country having sunk a great deal
OF money in them for time, paying.
however, interest at the rate of six per
cent all this period.
AS can be seen, the conditions could
not have been more ridiculous. But
apart from all these circumstances.
the loan will have an effect to worsen
the workers standard OF living. With
this loan the annual payment OF inter
est and amortization OF all external
debts will amount to around 10000. 900

SAINT Indictment of fascist reaction and
the most powerful plea to every Com
munist to work more intensely and
more persistently to carry on more
steadily his daily tasks and to defend
the rising revolution against the
bloody reaction of world capitalism.
The class-conscious workers and
peasants of the Balkans are being
ruthlessly oppressed. In Jugo-Slavia,
in Hungary, in Bulgaria and Roumania
the contrast between the modern pal
aces Of the nouveaux riches and the
miserable quarters of the city and
country proletariat is enormous. Fac

pesos, almost half of the present
total budget of the republic. Twenty
million pesos yearly of legal graft that
the working class of a country of
100000 population via have to pay.
The first series of the loan, $50, 0OO,-
600, was bought, so we said, by Hall
garten and company at 9153, and was
resold wholly in North America on
Wall Street market in a half an hour
at more than SO. Which is to say
that the bankers is that short lapse
OF time cleaned up a cool 81, 500 900.
The government press OF Uruguay re-
ceived this news joyfully, declaring
that the incident was proof OF the SOL
vency OF the country. In reality it is
no more than proof OF the strong
imperfalist development OF the United
States.
In conclusion, we reafirm that the
loan has worsened the economic sit
uation Of the workers for the "a
years that It wiz run. And that, there
fore, the loan constitutes battle won
by Yankee capital against the probe
tariat of Uruguay.
In this respect, our Communist Par
ty OF Uruguay has carried out an agi-
tation against the loan. For the First
OF May demonstrations 1t raised the
slogans Down with tho loanl"
Down with Yankee imperialism"
But the protests OF our working
class. yet politically weak. have not
prevented the course OF things. As in
all conflicts of interest between capt.
talism and the proletariat. it was a
question OF force. The interests OF the
bourgeoisie, therefore, triumphed. as
they are the stronger at present.

ton. appreciation and signing. The
National Council OF Administration,
in order to liquidate the subject, even
met on the morning of the 18th of
April, a national holiday" for the
bOurgeoisie. This haste was carried
into the chamber of deputies, where
motion was made that it might be
Immediately considered while yet the
chamber had not reached that point
on its agenda, and where 1t was voted
with the sole opposition Of the two
Communist deputies.
1t is needless to point out the de-
pendence toward the Yankees that
the loan sanctions. But we re-em-
phasize that it is free from all impost,
present and future. 1t is no longer
for the sovereign" government to de-
eide imposts and taxations. The in
terests of the Yankee bankers are
wholly safe from them.
Another interesting aspect of the
loan is the complete imperialist nature
|of Article 5. The external debt Of
Uruguay is owed TO different coun-
tries. The consolidated debt, for
example, that amounts to S6O.S2S,276,
was contracted in England. But now
the Yankees, with this Article 5, as
sure themselves the monopoly.
For instance: Suppose the govern
ment wishes to contract a new loan.
1t is certain that, indebted as the gov
eminent is, new guarantees will be de-
manded. But then II must give Sc
curities to cover both the new loan

TUBE white terror Is the offspring Of
= world capitalism. It is horror, muir
der. torture and tragedy organized ON
. mass scale. It has made out Of the
Balkans "the hell of Europe" And If
we could substitute white terror" for
industrial" we could say with Marx
that "the country with a more devel-
oped white terror merely shows the
one less developed the picture of its
own future"
There are people. Slaves of the gen.
eral inertia and mediocrity," who will
not believe that such savage and hell
ish barbarism is possible in our day.
But savage OPPRESSION and wholesale
mass murder are the methods of the
International bourgeoisie fighting to
maintain its supremacy. The white
terror, or fascism, is the socio-poiitical
form of world capitalism since the
war.
People who are still accustomed to
think of the world in terms of indie
pendent nationalities and of its econ
omy in terms of independent national
development, fail to realize that the
very powers that have blessed the
world with democracy" have also
blessed it with the white terror; that
democracy" and fascist white terror
are different sides of the same medal,
different forms of the same capitalist
domination, and that fascism, white
terror, or open bourgeois dictatorship
is becoming the dominant form of cap
italist rule.
The white terror is more immediate,
more violent more bloodthirsty. And
for that reason it is most dangerous
to the international labor movement
Its activity in the Balkans has re-
vealed the true character of interna-
, tional reaction and the constant need
for organized revolutionary action on
the part of the world proletariat
Nothing that has been said concern
ing the terrorism exercised by the Bal
kan governments" writes Barbusse,
''is exaggerated. To those who ask.
is it true? one can only reply: The
truth is worse"

Frenchmen, went to the Balkans tc

(Transiation by Harrison George
TINE republic of Uruguay has finish
ed negotiations with the North
American firm of Hallgarten and COM
pany for a loan of $45,OOO,OO0. This
loan comes to increase the external
debt of Uruguay which, previous to it,
mounted to $192,711,776.O6.
The conditions of the loan are found
in the law with respect to it adopted
at the beating bell of the legislative
power. Article of the said law auth
orizes the executive power to contract
the loan in two series. one of 100000
900 and another of $15,OO0,OOO The
figure at which the loan is made is
s1.53.
Article 2 establishes the half yearly
form Of payment, with an amortiza-
ton fund of one per cent per annum
accumulative.
Article is interesting enough to
transcribe fully. 1t is as follows;
Both the capital and the interest of
the bonds will be paid off without de-
duction of any impost or other right
that may exist at present or that the
Uruguayan government or any other
authority within the territory OF Uru-
quay might create"

given to the funds and from where
are to drawn the means for the first
amortization. Article establishes
that, in case contracting another loan
guaranteed by the state income, this
loan must be given preference against
the state income or another equiva-
lent.

FRANCE GETS $4,000
OF BRANDS PRIZE
Foreign Minister Expected to
Use Rest to Build Up His
Country Home.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 14.--Foreign
Minister Brands Christmas present,
in the form of half the Nobel peace
prize for 1926. will enrich the French
treasury to the equivalent of about
$1,000 in taxes. The remainder. APP
proximately $11 900, friends say. will
go to buy sheep and pig and build
new wing on his country house at
Cocherel. on the River Eure.
NJ. BRAND is regarded as out of
want financially. but he Is far from
rich as wealthy men go today. He
earned from $4,000 to $50 900 a year
before the war as a corporation legal
adviser. and he saved part of this
His present salary as foreign minister
is equal to only about $4,000 annually.
Part of his savings went into the
farm at Cocherel. which friends say
he is fixing up as a place in which
to spend his declining years fishing.
1t is understood the rest has been
well invested to keep the wolf from
the door when the time for retire
ment from public life comes.
The foreign minister leads a frugal
life for a man of his prominence. His
table is of the simplest when he Is at
Cocherel. His principal pastime il
fishing in the River Eure. the Gulf Of
MorDihan or the Mediterranean.
He likes good living when in town.
but INDUCES his tastes less than in
years gone by because of his doctors
orders. So far as known he has dis
obeyed these only on two occasions
one of them being his now historic
luncheon with Foreign Minister
Stresemann of Germany at Thoiry
and the other when he entertained the
Spanish Ambassador. Count Quinones
de Leon, at the Quai D'Orsay.
Altogether his circumstances are
represented by those who know him
as such that he can. with equanimity,
hand over to the State the 80 per cent
of the prize which will be due as in
come tax.
M. BRAND is the seventeenth
Frenchman to receive a Nobel prize,
and the fifth to get the award because
of peace efforts.
