death. In Bagdad her house, lavishly
furnished by British gold, was a

Cook Up Attack on Labor.
Apparently, then, Benjamin Strong
is telling the French government that
1t must accept the debt pact and mer-
cilessly cut down its budget, and give
ample security, before the billion-dol-
lar loan needed to stabilize the franc
and tide over the industrial depres-
sion sure to follow will be granted by

Winston has come home from a visit
with Strong and Norman in London
and Paris. Now Secretary Mellon is

vice from the summer White House

Dawes plan, reduced the wages and
heightened the working hours Of Ger
man labor.

This disclosure is interesting be-

clusion that Benjamin Strong, gov

General Wood Gets
Hufy at Thompson,

MANILA, P. l., July 21.-The first
open break between Governor General
Wood and Colonel Carmi Thompson,
the personal Representative" of
President Coolidge now investigating
the Philippine Islands, came yester-
day.
/, President Coolidge had, so 1t seems,
designated ten newspaper men to ac-
company Colonel Thompson. The lat
ter therefore, invited the scribes to
accompany himself and General Wood
on their trip thru the archipelago.
Wood proposed that Thompson and
himself go alone.
Yesterday, finding that Thompson
held out for his view, General Wood
announced that owing to 'the press
ure of business" he would be unable
to accompany Colonel Thompson on
his trip as was planned.

Falling Franc Might
Clear Internal Debt

PARIS, July BIN. De Monte, the
new finance minister, is reported not
only to favor the capital levy, but also
to support the idea of wiping out in
ternal debt by letting the franc de-
cline until it has completely disappear
ed. This, however, will be a painful
proceeding to the holders.
1t is an open secret that the over
throw of BRAND and Caillaux and the
|ascendancy Of Herriot, the radical So
cialist and De Monte, is victory for
the Bank de Paris ct Pays Bas, and
its boss, Horace Finlay, Austrian f.
nancial genius, while it is defeat
for another great banker, M. Lazard,
who is connected with Morgan and

FORCES upon the peoples referendum.
The opposition in the union fought
with clear political and trade union
program which included the most ur-
gent needs of the proletariat in its
daily struggle.
The weak participation In the cleo.
ton and the majority for the opposi.
ton show that whilst the advance
guard Of the German proletariat is de.
terminedly on the side of the revolu-
ton, nevertheless the broad masses
are still passive. The process of revo-
lutionizing the masses is already go
ing on, but its only in development.
The most important tasks in the
present moment are to liquidate the
passivity amongst the masses and at
the same time to win the advance
guard.
The method of accomplishing this
is systematic daily work In all facto-
ries and trade unions, a clear atti-
tude, the mobilization of all forces for
the coming struggle for power with
out false compromises and without
ultra-left phrases and destructive
vacillations.

tremendous increase in imports, which
were 10,4O4,00O,OOO greater than a
year ago-a 55 per cent Increase
while exports increased only 5,142,-
100000, or less than "a per cent.
Francs Fall the Cause.
1t is thought the heavy import sur
plus was largely due to the fall in
French currency, which means heavy
increases in expenditures to purchase
foreign goods. On the other hand,
French export prices have not risen
sucffiiently to Offset the depreciation
Of the franc, because generally goods
are offered to foreign customers at
domestic prices.
Tonnage More Favorable.
It is considered important, however,
that tonnage figures for exports and
imports are growing more favorable
to France, and while imports for the
first half of 1925 stand at 23,404,OO0
tons, which is S65,0OO higher than the
corresponding period in 1925, exports
have reached 15,9O4,000 tons, or $780,
The main increases in imports were
food products and raw materials,
while the main export increases were
raw materials and manufactured
goods. In the first six months this
year France imported 2,420,000 tons
Of food products and exported $4,000
tons.
She imported 2O,2ss, 900 tons of raw
materials and exported 1891, 900 TONS
She imported TAT 900 tons of manufac-
tured goods and exported 2,221, 900
tons.
These figures show the country is
selling more manufactured goods than
it buys, while it imports more food
products than it exports.

France for July showed an increase

appreciate decrease of 740,000,000

neous credits have increased by 1907

Coal Declines, Steel Rises.
French production of coal and lig-
mite during May showed further de-
cline from the high levels reached in
March and stood at 3,942,000 metric
tons, as compared with 4,700,O00 tons
during April and 4,566,0OO during
March.
Production of the French iron and
steel industry is reaching record lev
els. Both foreign and domestic pur-
chases are heavier; prices of mate
rial and productions are rising. May
production of pig iron established a
new record of $4,000 metric tons and
the output of steel ingots and castings
was also high, at $4,000 tons.
