"our heartiest congratulations to
YOU and all the militant coal dig
uers of District One on the bril-
liant victory achieved thru the cleo

ticket over all the forces of reae-
tion. Upon your administration rest
great responsibilities. We are sure
you will live up to all expectations"
James Oneal, the prize anti-Com-
munist propaganda of the socialist
party, who is the editor Of the New
Leader, could not be expected to
show any greater understanding OF
the united front than he displays
in the above editorial.
THERE is distinct difference be
i tween the Communist and So
cialist application of the united
front tactic. The Communists ne
yer lose their identity in a united
front. They make their own posi-
ton clear, which results in a con-
tinued criticism and analysis of the
0R frrht min nnn0Uf q
drawn into the united front.
The socialists, however, allow
themselves to be completely sub
merged, as in the LaFollette cam
paign, where they became the most
servile lackeys Of the ultra-reac-
tionary elements.

gressive, against Brennan, support
ed by the catholic church, the bust
ness interests, the mine barons and
John L. Lewis, the unprincipled
head of the miners international
organization. The Weekly Work

WORKER, supported Cappellini, as
did the Progressive Miners Com

Pennsylvania, providing for a federal
motion picture commission, attacked
the proposals as destructive Of the

Regulation means censorship" Nc
Grady said, land both mean muzzling.
Freedom in the motion-picture industry
is as essential as free speech and a
free press. Legislation is needless as
the organized bodies in the industry
are constantly improving the stand

your regulation? There is great d.
versity of opinion as to what is inn

Select Jury to Try
County Judge Charged
with Lying on Stand

WOODSTOCK, ILL.,, April 21--A jury
in the trial of county Judge c. P.
Barnes, charged with conspiracy to
subOrn perjury in connection with the
Roy Bank failure case, was completed
Just before the noon recess today.
Judge Barnes, found guilty and
fined, together with V. S. Lumley,
former states attorney of McHenry
county, is being retired by order of the
Illinois supreme court. He is on trial
by himself instead of jointly with
Lumley. In asking for a separate trial
for Barnes the states attorney de-
clared his case would be stronger
against the county judge if the latter
were tried alone.

FASCISTS whip
UP IMPERIALIST
FRENZY in ROME
Mussolini Apes Ancient
Caesars

ROME, April 21.--Premier Mus
solini today inaugarsted his long
heralded program for the restoration
of the eternal city to the grandeur
Of the golden days of Augustus"
golden" so far as the ruling class Of
that day was concerned.
While the movement for a new and
greater Rome was in progress in the
eternal city, all Italy was also celebrat-
ing colonial day. Mussolini delivered
an address on the necessity for col
onial expansion for Italy. Later he
was greeted by fanatic fascists, thou
sands of whom marched in military
formations thru the streets.
A Historic Day.
April 21 has been accepted as the
traditional birthday Of Rome and
thus today was chosen for the formal
beginning Of a twentieth century
renaissance. While the duce himself
is to supervise the work being under
taken, its direct accomplishment has
been commissioned to THE new gov
ernor of Rome, Senator Filippo
Cremonesi.
Cremonesi has been given the mod
ern imperial mandate 10 liberate the
masterful temples of christian Rome
from the profane parasftical construc-
tions which now cling to Them"
thus making the capital city once more
appear as a marvel to FL the peoples
of the world-vast, ordered and pow
erful, at it was, in the time of the
first empire of Augustus" Mussolini
thus apes in his decreesot the very Ian
guage of the Caesars.
The theater of Marcelius, one of the
monuments especially mentioned in
Mussolini's decree, will.be the center
of the work Of restoration. The build
ing still attests the integrity of the
old Roman builders, both in design,
material and workmanship, but it has
fallen upon especially evil days in
modern times. It is neither more nor
less than a slum dwelling.
The fascist trade union congress,
under the leadership Of Edmondo Ros-
soni, syndicalist chief who became a
fascist when the tide turned in that
direction, will meet today and renew
its pledge Of allegiance to the move
ment which destroyed the bonafide Ia
Dor organizations, burning down their
headquarters and numbering their
most militant workers. Rossoni is
trying to deliver the workers Of Italy
bound hand and foot to Mussolini's
dictatorship.
To Review Children.
In the afternoon the little children
of fascist parents viii be reviewed
by the butcher who viii tell them the
"glories" Of his reign, conveniently
neglecting to mention the scores of
political murders in which he has
been involved and the wholesale ter
ror he has inaugurated thruout the
country. Fascism, like Roman cath
olicism, believes that If it can get
the children under its control, they
are sure to become its ardent sup
porters as they grow pp.
Capitalist Ambassadors Attend.
The American ambassador and
those from other nations, excluding
the Soviet Union, wili witness these
affairs and assure the despot that
their respective nations wish him a
long life and prosperous rule. To cap
italism Mussolini represents the reign
of the Strong man, capable Of quell-
ing the mob" as the rich everywhere
contemporary term the working
class.

and Elihu Root are other financiers
or lackeys of that class who will re-
ceive large sums if the bill passes.
Mellon Lies Openly.
Secretary Of the Treasury Melons
defense Of the measure is one Of the
most bold-faced defenses Of such a
steal ever witnessed in congress. He
wrote in substance that he had not
been aware that companies in which
he was financially interested stood to
gain from the bill This is a lie on
the face of it, for Mellon is well-in-
formed in all such cases. Then he
declared that it didn't make any diff
ference if he did benefit in this way.
Robbins The Treasury.
The crux of the matter is that the
administration knows that Germany
will not be able to pay the awards of
the Mixed Claims Commission for
many years, If indeed at all. Mellon
used this argument, declaring that un-
der such circumstances the delay
would amount to virtual confisca-
ton of the property rights embodied
in such awards. Inasmuch, he con-
tinued his argument, as the policy of
conflscation of private property rights
is abhorrent to the ideals of our peo-
pie, these claims must be paid off
quickly by some agency capable of
raising the cash.
A Slick Scheme.
That agency, the secretary stated,
was the public tearsury, Melons
scheme is to have the treasury pay
off the claims in cash at once. The
treasury would first get the money
thru its fiotation of huge bond is
sue, to be secured by an apportion-
ment of a similar amount due the
United States from Germany under
the Dawes plan.
A slick and clever plan, worthy of
the mind of the third richest man in
America, who manipulates the

himself and his class. The only
trouble is that he sprang it at a time
unfortunate for his purposes. It
might have gone thru with little op-
position some months ago when the
bipartisan republican-dem COM
bination was in the finest working
order.
Too Much Stink.
Already so much stencil has come
from the scandal that Representa-
tive Mills has been obliged to an
nounce his withdrawal from the de-
bate. Many republicans are urging
the administration to let the bill die
in committee. Coolidge and his
gang, however, are still confident they
can jam the measure thru congress
at this session.
The house ways and means commit
tee, after a conference with Secretary
of Treasury Mellon, today decided to
invite the German-Americau Mixed
Claims Commission to testify regard
ing awards in connection with the
Mills bill for return of alien property
seized during the war.

WASHINGTON, April q - AssaIl-
ing Mussolini as "a wild beast" and
Italy's entrance into the world court
as "eold bIooded bargain for terri
tory" Senator James Reed, democrat,
of Missouri, this afternoon led the
final democratic fight to reeommlt the
$2,o42, 900, 900 italian debt settlement
plan to the senate finance committee.
The vote is to be taken at o'clock.
Reed urged that Faith be kept with
the American taxpayers who bought
war bonds" by forcing Italy to meet
her full debt obligations and pay FIVE
per cent interest.
Italy Gained Thru War.
ITALY entered the war in cold
blooded bargain with France, knowing
she would gain more than by keeping
her alliance with AUSTRIA" Sen. Reed
charged. Great Britain, France and
Italy all gained territory from the war
of greater value than their total war
debts" he declared.
A Wild Beast.
He attacked Mussolini's "militaristic
Dreams"
'His statements sound more like the
roar of a wild beast than the voice of
a man." re declared. "He has stricken
down Italy's liberties and destroyed
the last vestiges of free government. "
This proposal would give S2,042,-
100000 as a military contribution to
the most dangerous man living" Reed
declared. when you vote on this
question, remember Illinois. Remem-
Der the American people think more
of our own country than they do of
this Italian dictator
The formal motion to recommit the
settlement "for further investigation"
was made by Sen. William. E. Borah,
republican, of Idaho, chairman Of re
senate foreign relations committee.
The resolution would instruct the COM
mittee to summon the New York bank
ers who loaned Italy 500, 100000 sew
eral months ago to tell what they
know about Italy's ability to pay.
