Doctor Records to
Prove Judge Sane

Last August one of the more than
usually crazy judges of the circuit
court in Chicago was considered as
beyond even the limit allowed on the
bench and he was officially declared
insane, stripped of his judicial office
and put in confinement. This month
he is deemed not only sane again but
the records have been dressed up to
indicate that he never had been in
sane. He gets full pay for all the
time since he was kicked off the bench
and kept in custody. His title and
powers as circuit judge are restored.
If he likes he can commit other peo-
pie to prison or he can fine them.
All because his wife, who had petit
toned for the insanity verdict, dis
covered that if he is allowed to serve
out his term the couple will get pen
sion. The obliging county Judge
hastily found errors in the commit
ment. In legal phrase, the nut order
was "expunged.' So, who's looney
now?

Polish Textile Industry
Hit by Trade Crisis
Especial to The Daily Worker

VIENNA, Feb. 16. - The industrial
depression has hit the textile mills
particularly hard Capital is difficult
to attract and the industry as a whole
seems doomed. Trades returning from
LODI and other important centers in
Poland state that if present conditions
continue that country will lose its i'm
portance as a textile manufacturing
nation.
The economy of Poland is so bound
up with that of the Soviet Union
that there can be no permanent i'm
provement until the government per
fects a political understanding with
Russia. This, however, is contrary to
the interests of the French and Eng
lish financieTs and imperialfst poll
ticians who want to keep the country,
regardless Of how their ambitions may
effect the people, as a standing
menace to the workers republic.

Tweedales & Smalley, prominent

full time on orders from the Soviet
Union which is importing machinery
to equip it's own mills. This is in
accordance with the governments
policy of building up its own industry
in order as soon as possible to cut
down the import of manufactured
goods. This policy aims also at the
increasing of the industrial base thru

were broadcast by radio. "Yes, we
are consplring for the entry of the
United States not only into the world

entry, with reservations. into the

since it commits the country to moth

can't"
He argued that with Germany ap-
plying for league membership the
only nations of Importance outside Of
the league are Turkey, Mexico, Rus

no longer a mere pr6-ally affair, that it
limits the occasions for war and that

twenty destroyers, five submarines,
three gunboats, and five special SER
vice ships Questioning of Admiral
Hyo Takarabe, minister of naval af-
fairs, in the Diet today brot out the
admission that talk hitherto of a
pairing down of military expenditures
to a bare minimum had been only for
public effect. There are reports from
many quarters that the government
will submit a program calling for the
expenditure of 335,OO0,0O0 yen (about
$160 OOO,O00j on the navy.
A bitter struggle is developing with
ing the cabinet between advocates of
strict economy and the protagonists
of a greater navy. The latter group
comprising high naval officers and the
heads of the munition and steel indus
try, are utilizing the unsettled condi-
lions in China and the increasing
ornaments of America to arouse
sentiment in their favor. The little

are dubbed by their opponents, point
to the serious unemployment situation
in Japan and the general fear Of dan

Manchuria. Meanwhile it becomes in

has merely diverted the great powers
from the building of useless bulks of

few bombs dropped from airplanes, to
the construction of fleet commerce.
