CAN'T DIVORCE
ECONOMICS FROM
ARMS QUESTION
America Is Blocking the
Geneva Program

GENEVA, Dec. 1.-THE civil sub
committee of the preparatory commits
sion for the disarmament conference,
now meeting here, refrained from de-
batting the report of the joint commits
sion on disarmament questions. 1t
referred to the report to the prepare
tory commission without comment, de-
claring it impossible to consider dis
armament matters separate from eco
nomic and political factors and that
the subcommittee is incapable of deal
ing with such matters.
This action was taken on motion
of Lord Cecil of Great Britain and
backed by the American representa-
tive, who is opposed to all Of the
recommendations
Points Considered.
The following five points are being
considered from the economic angle:
Inspection Of ornaments, collection OF
information, limitation of military
budgets, consideration of effects of
various elements on the war strength
u udttOuS, anu IeBiOAd1 ulSdl Ludlueul
agreements.
U. S. Against Everything.
The Americans have gone on record
as being opposed to any form of con-
troll on the United States, declaring
that Washington would not submit
to any inspection and definitely op-
posed any budgetary comparison of
countries. The delegates are trying
to find some means of proposing def
mite plans to bring about equalization
Of ornaments, but they are blocked
at every angle by American opposi-
ton.
The proposal of the joint commits
sion is that each country submit a
budget of its military expenditures in
such form as to allow for peculiar
characteristics to form as basis.
However, America sees in this form
of control and is firm against it.
The preparatory commission itself
will have to thrash the matter out.

MADRID-To those who have been
in contact with the Rifians and know
little of their psychology and of
their great love of territorial indie
pendence, it was evident that Abd-el-
Krim's surrender did not mean the
end Of the Moroccan war. Abd-el-
Krim was one Of the Riffs most sig
ni1cant chiefs, but there were other
leaders not ready to submit to the
corruptive policy developed in Nor.
Deco jointly by the French and Span
ish imperialists.
Since last June, when Abd-el-Krim's
surrender took place, there has
hardly been a single day of peace and
quiet in Morocco. From then until
today, many Spanish soldiers have
given their lives in a fruitless sacri-
fee.
keriro's Death.
While fighting against our army at
Beni-Ider, Nov. 3rd, there was killed
the Rifian chief, the Keriro, who was
the most powerful leader after Add
elKrim. Very young, only 30, he has
for long been the enemy of Spain.
In 1924, when Raisuni made a pact
with Spain, the Keriro abandoned him.
He performed the most audaciously
heroic feat in the whole Moroccan
war when, with some of his partisans,
he entered the city of Tetouan and
shot up the town from the center of
the Plaza de Espana.
The instruction of the DjebaIa tribe
was what gave the Keriro most fame
and personality. He beseiged Taxa
rut, assaulted the palace, and impris-
oned Raisuri.
In consequence Of his victory over
Raisuni, Abd-el-Krlm called the Keriro
and went with him to Adjur, where he
was presented with the custody Of
Raisuri's person and with all his
wealth. In addition he was created
Caid OF Djebala.
After Abd-elKrim's surrender, the
Keriro continued the war and was
considered by the Riffans as Abd.el-
krim's successor. He was killed lead
ing the Benz Arcs tribe when they
were trying to stop the assault Of
Bent Ider by the Spanish army.
Recent sedltion.
Abd-el-Krims surrender ended the
war 80 far as big fronts and impor-
tant battles, which only chief OF
such military talent as he could carry
out with success. But the independ-
ent attacks, the favorite Moroccan
strategy, continue. The Spanish press,
with the permission OF the censorship,
with some restrictions, has published
recent seditions in various places OF
the Spanish "Prectorate."
In Ketama, the Spanish troops were
obliged to retreat. At present the At

MUSSOLIAI WOULD FORCE |
CLASS COLLABORATION ON |
LABOR BY PASSING LAWS |

ROME, Dec. 2.--with the trade
unions abolished, Mussolini is now
busying himself with the drawing up
of a Tabor code" to further crush the
Italian working class. The code.
which presidents of corporations are
aiding to prepare. will serve as a
basis for labor legislation to be passed
soon.
One OF the prime features of the
code will be an attempt to legislate
a spirit of class collaboration into the
workers. Mussolini believes he can
make the workers take more interest
in producing more goods by passing
laws. 1t is possible that in the laws
will be incorporated minimum produc-
ton speed requirements, as well as
hours and wages.

Advocates Speeding Up of Workers.
That American industrialists are
now definitely moving towards speed
ing up of the workers in order that
fewer employees can produce more
work is shown by the report. Hoover
dwells at length on his campaign for
the elimination Of waste" in indus
try, and his chief source Of pride is
that American industry is now be-
ginning to speed up dts workers. He
gives the railroads as a shining ex-
ample Of this.
More Work; Less Workers.
Hoover points with pride to these
figures: In 1921 the railroads en-
poyed t,s69,5o1 workers to load
42,332,67o cars; in 1926 Fiscal year,
the railroads employed only 1892
733 workers and loaded 51,e16,7es
cars. Following his advice, as Hoo
YER points out, the railroads have
been able to force approximately
100000 less workers to do IS per
cent more work than before.
Knocks Government Operation.
In this connection Hoover takes
the opportunity of using his report to
bolster up private business and at
tack government operation.
Hoover says: at is an interest
ing commentary upon government
operation that private enterprise
has been able to operate the rail-
ways with far fewer employees and
at the same time load almost IS
per cent more cars than the govern
ment administration" He also
says: "Probably the most outstand-
ing single Industrial achievement
since the war has been the reorgan-
ization of our American railways.
Our transportation was de-
moraIized by government operation
during the war :"
Foreign Trade Grows.
In dealing with foreign trade, Hoo
ver's report demonstrates how Ameri-
can industrialists and capitalists are
now more than ever inextricably in
terested in foreign conditions and for
eign policies. American foreign trade,
he shows, now amounts to 16 per cent
Of the total world trade, while in 1913,
it represented but IL per cent. Elk
ports from the u. S. showed an in
crease in 1926 of 81 per cent over
1913, while every other nation in the
world, including England, showed an
| almost equal decrease.
Warning to Workers.
Hoover points out that foreign
trade involving manufactured goods
is assuming greater and greater i'm
portance. In this, he strikes a note
Of warning to the workers, as he en-
phasizes the fact that the present
scale of wages in the United States
is handicap to American manufae-

CHURCH OFFERS CHOICE
OF PRIVATE PROPERTY
OR FREE-FOR-AL Wife


MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2. - In a
statement issued by the Mexican
Episcopate on the subject of the
alteration between the government
and the church, occurs this para
graph:
"There are two factions in the
fight, Christianity and Bolshevism.
The defense Of Christian civilian
tion is based upon religion, the
sanctity of matrimony, private prop
perty, sane liberty, as against the
communistic Utopas of socialism,
free love, and the subJection Of re-
llgion to the state"
1t will be noticed that the admis-
sion that the church stands for pr-
vate property Is nicely balanced
against the fake and threadbare
charge that the Communists prae-
.tice free love.

Sees Trouble Ahead
The report forecasts possible trou
big between the United States and
foreign countries in connection with
foreign government monopolies Of Ger,
tain necessary commodities. Hoover
declares that he abhors the necessity
of government interference to prevent
control Of world goods, but indicates
that II interference is necessary the
United States is ready to take neces
sary steps,"
He especially mentions the follow.
ing goods as being controlled by for
eign governments: rubber, long-stapls
cotton, camphor, coffee, iodine, nj.
trates, potash, mercury, and sisal.
Government Interference.
"The economic objection to these
controls is the sitting Of production
thru forced restriction combined with
price-fxing resulting in arbitrary
high prices" the report declares.
Public relations resulting from gov
ernmental controls are even more OBJ
jectionable than the economic loss
es The result has been and
always will be that the just com
plants of consumers drags our gov
eminent into relations which stoult
be left to the higgling Of the mar
ket. This injection Of the govern
ment inevitably results in the arous
ing Of national feeling :"
Then Hoover comes to this con
clusion: 1T is safe to say that
the conduct of industry is left in tn,
hands of the private individuals the.
will not cut the Threats of their cor
sumers."
Everything Is Finel
Hoover summarized national ecc
nomic conditions in the following pa
agraph: 1.-THE fiscal year of 1882
has been one never surpassed in GU

and consumption, in the physics

The Spanish-Moroccan Problem

lacks are against the Behi Ider. These
tribesmen resist the imperialists' as
saults.
ImperiaIist Rivalry.
The rivalry between the French and
Spanish imperialists is every day
more acute. The press Of the French
zone has started a campaign against
the Spanish action in Morocco, and
the Spanish authorities at Larache
have tried to stop this attack by the
French press. This rivalry is still
greater when one considers the strife
Of the capitalists for ownership of the
Riffians mines. The business inter-
ests Of the English, German, Dutch,
French, and Spanish in the mining in
dustry are entirely at conflict.
The Reichstag's concession to the
Mannasmann Bros. of a credit of
S,5O0,O0O gold marks (about $4,000
will probably permit this big firm to
acquire ownership Of the most impor-
tant mines in Morocco, which was the
situation in 1914.
The TaneIer Question.
Primo de Rivera's dictatorship has
completely failed in its imperialistic
aims in Tangier. The Spanish gov
eminent and colonists aimed at the
complete control of the city OF Tan
gier. They wished to revert to the
1928 status, signed by England,
France, and Spain. At present Primo
de Rivera's petitions are restricted to
asking a wider participation in the
city administration and the native col
ony. The sovereignty of the Sultan
of Morocco will continue. which only
means the full domination OF France
in the international zone.

Some people write and speak as if

ample prohibition. Many think that
the movement for a de-alcoholiZed

Is purely partial view.

a part of the prohibition movement as
