ing special sessions in order to dis
cuss ways and means of increasing
the foreign trade OF manufacturers OF
this section Of the country. About
200 manufacturers are attending the
sessions and lively interest is being
taken in the question Of Russian
trade. Is It worth while dealing with
Soviet Russia or is that vast country
further to be avoided?
H. Parker Willis, professor of bank
ing at Columbia University, who re-
Gently returned from trip to Soviet
Russia, is an advocate OF trade with
Soviet Russia. Mr.. Willis pointed out
that last year America stood first in
the foreign trade of Soviet Russia,
but this year has dropped to second
place. Last year we had 30 per cent
OF their trade and FIRST place in Il.
This year we shah have second place
and there are some who think Il will
not run higher than 20 per cent"
Professor Willis gave as the reason
the refusal OF American bankers and

safeguards the Russian trade field OF.

Earthquake Survivors

LENINAKEN, Oct. s1.--A wintry
blizzard swept over the wrecked
houses and thru the rags Of the hungry
survivors OF the devastating earth
quake that rocked this region last
week. Earth shocks continue intermit-
family and, together with the chill
blasts and the snow, beat down the
already low morale Of the homeless
refugees.
The situation Of the shelterless is
very desperate. The most .pitiful con-
dftion exists among recent and
prospective mothers The earthquake
ushered in seventy-two new babies and
many more have been born on the
plains where the homeless are en-
camped. While the Soviet government
agencies and the Near East Relief are
taxing their energies TO bring COM
fort and food to the quake victims,
the. hardship they are enduring are
OF kind to break the hardest spirits.

SOCIALISTS HEAR
GERMAN WOMAN
RELATE SUCCESS
Reich Member Talks to
Cleveland old Guard
BY SADIE AMTER
Especial to The Daily Worker)


Tony Sender, woman socialist member
of the German Reichstag, spoke in
Cleveland, Oct. I, to the scattered
forces and defunct membership Of a
one time thriving party. An audience
of about fiftyfeur people occupied the
first few rows in Moose Hall. all that
is left of the Socialist party in Cleve-
land.
Monarehists Join Hands.
She said that after the revolution
that changed Germany from a mon
archy to a republic there was no re-
sistance at all on the part OF the war
generals and upholders Of monarchy
but that on the contrary they showed
every desire to join hands with the
socialists. "The socialists" she said
were against the submarine warfare
knowing that that wonld bring Ameri-
ca into the battle and that Germany
would thereby lose. And when the
war was ended with defeated Ger
many, the revolution took place and
the great task of the Socialist Germa-
ny was to bring back and give employ
ment to millions Of men and to do it
as quickly as possible in order to avoid
the greatest disaster of the world"
Miss Sender did not say what dis
aster that would have been but from
her talk l gathered that the same thing
would have happened to the socialist
regime that happened to the Kerensky
government in November of 1917. and
it appears that every move Of the So
cialist Party of Germany from that
time to this present was made for the
sole purpose of heading off too much
movement toward rebellion of the
workingclass and an overwhelming
turn toward the left
Germans Sentimental.
Speaking of the election of. linden
burg, Miss Sender declared that it was
not triumph for monarchy as many
believed but merely sentimental feel
ing on the part of the German people
"for the old general who had fought
SO well during the war" Miss Sender
went on to say that she did not think
it was fair that the families Of the
princes of Germany should be allowed
such enormous incomes when mil
lions of the people are near starva-
ton. She said that % families OF the
nobility use millions Of dollars in in
comes and, of course, the socialists
are fighting this.
It was astonishingly clear listening
to Miss Sender that the socialist par
ty of Germany, where it is in the
majority, offers no hope to the ex-
plotted workingclass and that the so
called social gains of Germany were
not worth fighting for. 1t is clear that
what Germany achieved was a revolu-
ton changing it from a monarchy to
a republic and that it is no nearer to
the goal of a victorious workingclass
than is America or France or Eng
land at the present time.
Praises Dawes Plan.
MISS sender III neT last senlehCS
said that the German socialists look
forward to a free and happy world
but she said not one word of how this
is to be brought about. 1t may be
that she believes the Dawes plan is
going to lead Germany to her goal for
she said, THE Dawes plan is making
It, possible for Germany to pay repa-
rations and also made new repara-
lions basis which it is possible for
the German people to accept"

sense of realities the accusing finger
Of responsibility is directed at the
government in Washington led by
Calvin Coolidge.
Europe knows that Coolidge was
governor Of Massachusetts, when Sac
co and vanzetti we're arrested, and
that when president Of the United
States and seeking reelection he
chose Butler, chief OF the textile ba-
rons Of Massachusetts, to manage his
campaign.
Herrlek Protests In Vain.
In spite of Ambassador Herrick's in
sistence that the Washington govern
ment has had nothing to do with this
case, which Europe has come to re-
gard as parallel to the persecution
of Captain Alfred Dreyfus of the
French army generation ago, Euro
pean liberals and workers do not be-
heve him. Recently they have been
justified by the disclosure in afhdavits
by former department Of justice
agents that they were active in pre-
JUDGING the fate of the two prison
ers, during the trial.
Attorney general Sargent's failure to
permit the defense to look at the files
Of the Boston office Of the department
has ripened the suspicion that the fed
eral government was behind the case
because these two Italian workmen
were radicals and 1t wanted to get
rid of radicals by any convenient
means.
BAY STATE OPINION SHIFTS.
BOSTON, Oct. 31.-Msssachusetts,
or at least Boston, opinion seems to
be shifting somewhat from its hostile
attitude toward Sacco and Vanzetti
toward the position that there must
be something in the workers claims
Of innocence after all.
The conservative republican Boston
Herald contributes an editorial en-
titled, 1--WE Submit -" 1t begins;
"In our opinion Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti ought not to be
executed on the warrant Of the YER
dict returned by a jury on July IA,
1921. We do not know whether these
men are guilty or not" And it re
iterates its lack Of sympathy with
their political and economic views,
continuing: But as months have
merged into years and the great de-
bate over this case has continued,
our doubts have solidified slowly into
convictions, and reluctantly we have
found ourselves compelled to reverse
our original judgment. We hope the
supreme judicial court will grant a
new trial on the basis of new evidence
not yet examined in open court. -.
1--WE hope, in case our supreme
bench finds itself unable legally to
authorize a new trial, that our COVER
nor will call to his aid a commission
OF disinterested men Of the highest
intelligence and character to make an
independent investigation In his be-
half, and that the governor himself
at first hand will participate in that
examination, if, as last resort, it
shall be undertaken

Coal Famine Acute.

Meanwhile, the coal famine is be
coming acute, in spite Of last foreign
imports. Sir Alfred Mond, head of the
big chemical trust, has warned the
mine owners that they must settle the
strike soon or his firm, one Of the
largest coal users. and others as well,
will place contracts abroad for coal
and leave the mine owners OF England
without this assured market.
No householder can now buy more
than 200 pounds of coal each two
weeks, and no one with more than 500
pounds on hand can buy any more.

European Coal shortage.

PARIS, Oct. S1.-A fuel famine Is
spreading over Europe as result Of
the British coal miners strike. In
France the iron and steel interests
near the coast haveg been forced to
draw on their emergency stocks.
Instead of the 100000 tons i'm
ported from England last year, the
flow Of coal is now going from France
to England in the form Of bunker coal
for British ships.
Profit Of seabbing Goes to Bosses.
German cities are also short from
coal shipments to England and Aus
tria reports that passenger traffic on
the railways viii have to be cut from
lack of coal, while Belgium is also
suffering a coal famine.
The greed of European coal dealers
for spot cash they can obtain by send
ing scab coal to England, is thus rob-
bling the home markets Of enough to
properly supply the demand, and high
prices are causing great sufferings
among the working class
