SETTLEMENT OF
ITALIAN DEBT
SPLITS SENATE
Hell N Maria" Dawes
May Decide Issue
Especial to me DalIy WORKER,

WASHINGTON, March Vice
President Charles c. Dawes may be
the determining factor in the ratifica-
ton of the Italian debt settlement.
This appeared to be more than a mere
possibility today when informal polls
of the senate revealed a division so
close that it may take the vote of the
vice-president to break tie.
Cognizant of this situation, admins
tration leaders in the senate have al
ready importuned Gen. Dawes to
stand by" at all hours once the Ital-
ian agreement is brought to the senate
floor. They. still poignant
ly-that Charles B. Warren of Detroit
would have been attorney general to-
day had not Gen. Dawes been taking
nap when the senate divided evenly
on the question of his confirmation.
A Tie Vote Probable.
The senate polls show that a few
votes either way will decide the ratif-
cation of the Italian settlement, and
that il all senators are present and
voting, or paired, tie vote is very
likely. OF the 80 democrats in the
senate, 81 are counted on to vote
against ratification. Sixteen repub.
leans will leave the administration
reservation to register their opposi
ton. These, with the anticipated
negative vote of Senator Shipstead
farmer-labor, of Minnesota, would give
a vote of 48 against ratification, re.
quiring the administration forces to
muster every other vote in the senate
to equal it. The informal polls. taken
by both sides, are conceded to be
reasonably accurate as of today. How
ever, there is considerable mission
airy" work being done on both sides
which may result in the shifting OF a
few votes this week.
Coolidge is keenly aware OF the
situation, and has undertaken some
personal missionary work on his
swn hook He has already held. and
will continue to hold, conferences
with various individual senators who
are known to be opposed to ratifica

The Riff war is on again after the

Natives Resume Defense.
Under Abd-el.Krim the native forces
are again rallying to the defense of
their land against foreign depreda-
tions; the Rifiians yesterday heroical-
ly defended their lines against the un-
provoked attacks of the French mer-
cenaries, in spite of the swarms Of
bombing planes that flew above their
lines, dropping explosives into their
ranks.
other French troops are on the
march being rushed to the Ourgha
trout where the fighting started and
it looks as tho heavy concentration OF
forces would occur at that point.
Thru the winter the Riff tribesmen
have succeeded in securing better
equipment and have prepared to turn
the defensive into fierce offensive
and it is hoped that they may be able
to scourge from the earth the scum
of the earth, of the character of the
American aviators, who participated
in the foreign invasion of last year.

Especial to The Daily Worker,

LONDON, March 2 - The question
Of whether Great Britain has really
lost her naval leadership to the

the absorbing topic of the hour. The
controversy was precipitated by the
statistics concerning the respective

published in an official government
Blue Book, released yesterday.
According to this compilation, the
United States leads the world in the
number of warships at its command.
The Blue Book gives the totals of
naval vessels as follows: United
States, SAB; Great Britain, 444; Italy,
247; Japan, 222 France, 219; Russia,
176; Germany, 81. The United States
is listed as possessing 800 destroyers
while Great Britain has 172. Amer
lean submarines number 120 to Great
Britain's Sc, Japan has 81, France Is,
and Italy IA.

HOPE NOW SEEN
FOR BANK BILL
BY RICHARD HATTON

Local bankers are much interested
In the coming session of Congress
insofar as the possibility of action
upon, the McFadden national bank
bill Ii concerned. According to fig,
ures recently compiled by the Comp.
troller of the Currency, 252 national
banks have surrendered their char.
tiers in the last three years to be re-
organized and rechartered as State
banks. This period covers the time
since the proposal to enact legisla.
tion to liberalize the national bank
ing laws was first submitted to Con
Eress.
The McFadden bill liberalizlng the
national bank laws was killed in the
last Congress because of a deadlock
in the conference committee COM

Black Teeth in Little
Pigs Are Not Harmful

Many pigs are born with sharp lit
tie tusks which are either black. or
soon become black. They are shed
eventually like any other animals
baby teeth. The only harm they do
is to scratch the faces of their litter
mates in fighting for the best place
to nurse, or sometimes make the teats
of the mother sore. Little trouble is
experienced except in the case Of
large filters when, for few days
while they are finding their proper
places at the udder, there is stiff COM
petition. In this case 1t is, good prac-
tice to cut them off with small pair
of nippers.
The theory that black teeth cause
pigs to do poorly is not well founded,
and is based upon superstition rather
than common sense The teeth are
but natural part Of the pig; but If
he Is not doing well, the shedding of
them will no doubt be delayed. Black
teeth should, therefore, be considered
the effect of unthriftiness rather than
the cause.
