out Of charges that millions Of dollars

primaries In Pennsylvania and Illinois,
will get under way as soon as congress
adJourns, It was learned today.
The investigation will carry the
committee into each state where
charges exist that "slush funds" were
used to influence the electorate in its
choice OF party candidates for the
senate. It's inquiry win cover dem
ocratic as well as republican primaries
but the start will be made in Penn
sylvanta, where newspapers declared
S5,000,0 900 had been spent in the Ware
Pepper-Pinchot contest.
The committee will function thru
out the summer, keeping wary ear
open to "slush fund" whispers in the
campaigns preceding The November
elections.

The committee will convene regular
ly turnout the summer, 1t was said, as
the senate gave It authority to IN

surgent alliance, they hope to provide
considerable campaign ammunition in

Pennsylvania First on List.
The situation in Pennsylvania VIII
be investigated first. Later, the com
mdttee will go to Chicago to determine
the truth of reports that from $1,000
900 to s1,500,OOO was spent in the
McKinley-Sm fight for the repub-
lican senatorial nomination.
If S5,OO0,OO0 were spent in Wares

pointed out, the amount would exceed
the total expenditures Of republicans,
democrats and progressives in the
1924 presidential election. AS COM
pared to the last off-year OF 1922. the
amount would be ten times as much
as was spent by both the republican

JURORS
ARE CHOSEN IN
DURKIN TRIAL

So far but three jurors have been
chosen in the trial of Martin Durkin
for the murder of the red-baiting Fed
eral Agent Edwin C. Shanahan. The
three are: Benjamin Affleck, president
Of the Universal Portland Cement
company; John Dyke, loop department
store salesman, and William j. Dave,
an industrial engineer at the Western
Electric company.
The state has announced that these
three are acceptable. The defense
declares that so far they see no reason
to challenge them. The picking of the
jury goes on slowly. Most of those
called seek to evade jury service.

UNITED STATES
And JAP AN Get
READY FOR WAR
Barrage Both Peoples
with Patriotism
Especial to The Daily Worker,


TOXIC, June 4. - That the Geneva
disarmament" parley, where the
United States and Japan tried to dis
arm each, is but part of the prepare
ton for war, is seen by the way both
nations are preparing their popula-
tions by patriotic propaganda for war.
Japanese magazine carry articles
agitating for war upon the United
States. Teisuka Aklyama, who, be-
cause of his political influence with
the Mikado's court is called the "Col-
onel House of Japan" writes that the
warning of war given Secretary of
State Hughes in 1924 by Ambassador
Hanihara on the occasion of the exclu-
sion law, is nearing its fulfllment.
THAT phrase was warning from
heaven, which God spoke thru the pen
of a clumsy diplomat" he says.
Seijiro Kawashima, a famous pol
ttical writer says that the question of
population is one of life or death to
Japan. zone evil spirit restraints Jap
ans desire for friendship with Amer
lea, Australia, Africa and others-the
United States. Not only do they ex-
clude Japanese themselves, but they
encourage other to exclude us. Japan
can no longer stand such injustice.
The apanese-American war has been
decreed by heaven"
This is the Japanese version Of the
outcome of the imperialist conflict be-
tween the two nations for domination
In Asia.
