DETROIT, Mich, March 2a.- The
fifth International convention of the
Universal Negro improvement Asso-
citation has closed without touching
on the future policies OF this great
Negro organization. The questions OF
the international affairs of the Negro
race were entirely neglected. The
convention took no outstanding POSI-
ton on the question of Negro rights
In America.
Fear DAILY WORKER.
One Of the most interesting hap
penings that transpired during the
convention was that The DAILY
WORKER, the official organ of the
Workers (Communist) Party of Anne
RIGA was barred from the convention
hall ON the last day of the convention.
This was because The DAILY WORK
Err had condemned the attitude Of the
oficials of the Universal Negro I'm
provement Association toward the ku
k1ux khan Of America. In one Of the
daily articles picturing the conven-
ton, The DAILY WORKER made cri-
tical notice Of the fact that the ku
klux khan had not been condemned in
a whole-hearted manner by the Off
cials of the Universal Negro Improve
ment Association This sentiment was
not widespread in the membership
but was only evident in the leader
ship Of the organization.
Despite the fact that the fifth inter
national convention Of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association was
holding its session in Detroit, which
had recently witnessed the Sweet
case" a case well portraying the. fact
that the khan strength is well organ
ized thruout America against the Ne
gro, the Universal Negro Improve
ment Association had not word OF
condemnation against the ku klux
khan.
Marrow international Outlook.
The international outlook of the
convention was narrowed down consE
derably- No pertinent moves were
made toward establishing relations
with international groups of other
races that might be of great help to
the Negro people in their fight for Ii
berry. Despite the fact that an iHyit-
alton had been offered to the conven-
ton to affiliate with the Association
For the Oppressed People of the
World which will meet in Canton,
China. early this year, no internation-
al or inter-racial relationship of a
permanent character was developed in
the convention.
. The convention ended abruptly with
a cloud of secrecy. In a special inter-
view given The DAILY WORKER rep
resentative, it was admitted that the
fear Of The DAILY WORKERS influ-
ence on the membership of the Uni.
versal Negro Improvement Associa-
ton might be disastrous to the back
ward policies Of the Garvey followers
and the present leaders of the Uni
versal Negro Improvement Associa
ton was the prime motive for the
barring Of The DAILY WORKER rep.

NEW YORK, March 2e-The Am
tory Trading Corporation, the purohas-
ing agency of the Soviet government
in this country, has announced that in
accordance with the plan to rehabili-
tate Russian industry on the very lat
est and most efficient models the So
Wet Union plans to replace many Of
their wornout locomotives with Diesel
engines.
Experiments with Diesels, Of the
American and German type, have i'm
pressed Soviet officials with their eff
cheney and economy. The total loco
motives in service in the Union is
now 10000. This is approximately
the pre-war level, having risen from
1000 in 1918 after the civil wars. AS
so per cent of the engines. however,
are in need of repairs compared to
II per cent in 1917, it is evident that
the large scale replacement contem-
plated by the authorities is necessary.
This need is the greater as traffic has
shown large increase over the pre-
war figures.

Dear Sirs and Brothers.:

full open shop textile interests has
undoubtedly come to your attention.
over $4,000 workers are involved
in the strike. They are fighting
against low wages and wage cuts.
They are fighting for the abolition
Of intolerable, inhuman working con-
ditions.
Fight For Better Conditions.
They are fighting for a shorter
workday. Most important is the
fact that they are fighting in an I'M
organized industry for the right to
organize. Furthermore they desire
thru collective bargaining to have
the industry provide them with a
decent living under improved human
working conditions.

u. S. Loans to
Europe Cannot
Be Paid'-SmOOt
Admission Brings Furor
Among Bankers

WASHINGTON March ga sur.
prisingly frank statement by Senator
Reed Smoot, republican, of Utah, that
the hundreds of millions Of dollars
which American bankers have poured
and are still pouring-into Europe
in loans since the war "can never be
paid" caused a furore of excitement
and some embarrassment in admins
tration circles today.
Senator Shoots position as chair
man of the senate finance committee,
as a member of the American debt
funding commission, and as an occa-
sional administration spokesman"
gave his statement an official tinge
that apparently was very disconcert-
ing to the international banking
world.
Wall Street5banking houses rushed
inquiries by phone and telegram to
their representatives in Washington
today, seeking light on Senator
Shoots bald admission that some ten
billions of dollars in American CAPT
tai are now in Europe to stay because
Europe never will be able to pay
them back.
The senator's statement was buried
deep in the recRsses of his $4,000 word
speech, which required four hours for
delivery in the opening debate on the
Italian debt Publications. 81 say with
out hesitation" declared the senator,
that the loans we have made. to for
eign countries and that banks are now
making to foreign countries cannot be
paid"
Private Loans Worthless.
1.-THE senator7is speaking of private
loans?" inquired Senator Reed, repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania.
IL am speaking of private loans"
confirmed Smoot. "They never will
be paid until something happens in
the world such as the war that has
just happened, transferring the money
center Of the United States to some
foreign country, and then they will
pass thru the same experience"
Slip Gets Mellon In Bad.
The treasury has been quietly bonn
barded with inquiries as to whether
this statement, which may have a
deleterious effect on the foreign Sc.
curities market, might be interpreted
as another administration move to-
ward reducing the volume of foreign
loans that has been a source OF some
worry for several years.
Treasury officials have declined to
comment publicly on Senator Shoots
statement, altho privately they have
"deplored' itsieffect, and stressed the
point that the statement lends itself
easily to misinterpretation.

Chang Tso-Lin Seeks
Triumvirate Rule

TIENTSIN, March 2S.-Peking has
been cut on from the south by an en-
circlung movement of the allied WI
Pei Fu-Chang Tso Lin armies If the
Kuominchun forces in the capital dis
trict remain intact they still have a
chance to hold Picking, as it is hardly
possible for the present anti-national-
list military coalition to keep its unity
Chang Tso-Lin, recognizing the
possibilities of his former rival WI
Pei Flu attempting to seize the capital
with his own troops, has proposed the
control of the central government by
triumvirate composed Of himself,
WI Pei Flu and General Ii Ching
ling, who has co-operated with them
in the war. Ii Ching-ling was ousted
from the office of civil governor of
Tientsin when Feng captured the city
last December.
Ii Versus Chang.
An additional complication lies in
the rivalry between Ii Changing and
Chang Tsung-ehang, the governor OF
Shantung province. II is reported that
Ii Changing will not become tupan
military governor) of Tientsin, as he
desired, but that this position will be
given to Chang so that Chin Yu-han,
henchman Of WI Pei Fu's, may sue
coed him as tupan of Shantung. The

leaders in China resembles the in
trigues carried on by American poll
ticians in that promises of mutual sup
port are freely given and as quickly
broken for personal advantage. The
friends of today are likely to be the
bitter foes of tomorrow and the
reverse.

president has undoubtedly contributed
largely to the debacle of the national

consciously he began finding fault

outcome Of the whole thing was
that Mr.. Teal grew tired Of his
