LONDON, March 24.-The United
States policy with regard to inter-al-
lied debts was bitterly attacked in
the house Of commons this afternoon.
Winston Churchill, chancellor of
the exchequer, indirectly charged that
the refusal of the United States to

will eventually receive from its Eu-
ropean debtors fully sixty per cent of

Peter Norbeck, senior United States

today that Norbeck had won. With

men when the former attempted to en-
force the new law calling for confisca-

their belief that the responsibility lays
with the British who have been in

The British who control Irak, ada
cent to Kurdistan, have followed a
consistent policy of stirring up the
Kurds against Turkey. Evidence Of
this is the existence Of a movement
among the Kurds for annexation to

cHIETI, italy, March "a - A bra
zen Justification for the murder of
Giaeomo MatteottI, socialist deputy,
and an inferred admission of the de-
feat of faselsm in it's efforts to re-
conclle all social classes, were made
today In the six and a half hours of
speeches by the attorneys for the de-
tense Of the fascist thugs Poverono,
Viola and VoIpl who are on trial here
for the murder.
Fascist Foes Must Col
The fascist attorneys brought out
the fascist theory that those who
torment" fascism must without ques-
ton be done away with.
You must consider" said one of
the lawyers, Decicco, to the jury, 'Du-
mini and his companions as personify-
ing one crowd, Matteotti as personify-
ing another. This explains the moral
and juridical provocation. The two
factions we're fighting. One conquered;
the other should have resigned itself.
Time was given for the latter to de-
mobilize. But If the conquered re-
fused to lay down their arms, why
should the conquerers have done so.
Instead, the conquered continued
to torment the victors. One day the
blow of fanatic killed. Whose fault
was it?"
Mussolinfs legal prostitutes find it
convenient to forget that while the
revolutionaries fought with their arms
under great duress, but in honorable
battle, in the open, the murderers of
the anti-fascist deputy killed him like
thugs and towards in the night.
"Matteotti's DEATH" continued the
lawyer, coming after that OF so many
martyrs o., should have brought
about peace and love between fascism
and it's opponents, but instead, it kind
led new hatreds and rancors."

PassaIe cIerayman AIda BOSSES.

Passaic Clergyman Aids Bosses.
PASSAIC, N. j., March "a - The
textile barons of Passaic are now
using the church in their attempt to
get Passaic textile workers TO accept
the proposals of the department Of
labor and the mill owners to return
to work under the old conditions and
then negotiate" for better terms.
The first of the clergy to urge the
strikers to go back to work and to
scab on their fellow-workers was Tho
mas ]. Herman.
In talk before 1900 of the Holy
Name Society at the st. Nicholas Ro-
man Catholic Church, this tool of the
textile barons urged those in the
church to go back to work and accept
the terms handed them by the depart
ment of labor and the textile bosses.
Workers Listen in Disgust.
When he found that his appeal that
these workers become scabs was not
having the proper effect, he began to
wave the red scare in front of the
members shouting that leaders of the
strike were Outside agitators" and
had nothing in sympathy with the
strike and were trying to bring about
a revolution in Passa&c. This appeal
on the part of this Catholic clergy
man that the members of the Holy
Name Society go into the mills and
scab disguised the workers present.
To Make Strike 10000 Effective.
As an answer to the bosses pro-
posal that the workers return to work
under the old conditions, the United
Front Committee Of Textile Workers
has decided to completely close the
Botany Worsted Mills and Gera Mills
in Passaic and the United Piece Dye
Works in Lodi. These mills have
small number of workers at work and
the strikers will call them all out.
Efforts are also being made to call
out the 10000 workers in the Paterson
dyeing plants and to bring out the
operatives in other textile mills of
Passaic and Clifton.

thing short of treason for the strik-
ing Passaic textile workers to return
to work under the proposals of Davis
and the mill owners without the
guarantee of at least the right to
organize.
"Passaic is one of the dark spots
on the map of American industry"
declared Wise. Instead of attempting
to Americanize the foreign1born popu-
lation there, the masters Of industry
have deliberately sought to divide and
segregate it.

that the system must be to blame.

An interesting change has been
made in the division Of the sale pro-
ceeds for 1927. In the past years the
proceeds were divided equally be-
tween state and local work but this
year the division will be made only
of the amount equal to eight cents
per capita. Any amount above that
percentage will be used locally. In
Bismarck, for instance, so per cent Of
the amount equal to eight cents per
capita, goes for local work, and 100
per cent of the sales exceeding that
amount will be used in Bismarck.
