 ANSWERED, GREELEY
GREELEY REFUTES CRITICS OF ALASKA AND NORTHWEST,
 DEVELOPMENT PLANS

The development of the pulp and paper manufacturing industry in AL s,ska will not compete seriously with the industry in Oregon and Washing ton, declared United States Forester w B. Greeley in his annual report to the Secretary of Agriculture, re- cently made public. He takes the position that the Alaskan industry will primarily be engaged in the manufacture of newsprint while that product will not be a major element in the industry in Oregon and Wash ington.
 Col Greeley pointed out that the efforts of the Forest Service to es- tablish the industry ir Alaska are in accord with its established policy Of conservative development as op- posed to forced exploitation.
 MEETS WITH CRITICISM
 In his report, commenting on the Alaskan situation, he said in part: Considerable criticism or these sales has arisen, particuarly in the Paci- fic Northwest. The economic sound ness of making such large tracts of Government timber available at this time has been questioned. The claim Les been made that the Forest Ser vice in placing these enormous virgin tracts of pulp wood on the market is

ACquit ManoiIesCu
Of Plot for Carol

BUCHAREST, Nov. 15.-Jubilant
at the acquittal of Michael Manoilescu
of charge of high treason, support
ers of former Grown Prince Carol to-
day predicted the speedy return of
Carol to the throne of Roumania.
The acquittal of the former under
secretary of state was considered as a
serious defeat of Premier Bratianu
under whose orders Manoilescu was
arrested and tried for completely in a
plot to place Carol on the throne now
occupied by his six-year-old son, King
Michael
1t was reported that Bratianu, sens
ing defeat in the verdict of the court
martial which tried Manoilescu, has
commissioned Prof. George Mugur to
proceed to Paris and discuss with
Carol conditions under which he would
return to Roumania.
Manoilescu was acquitted early this
morning. He was arrested recently on
the Roumanian frontier and it was
charged that he had in his possession
documents and letters from Prince
Carol to his adherents.

The Latest Step in. Nicaragua

continue the military intervention in
definitely to guarantee the safety of
the investment The job of the fin
ancial dictator will be to loot the
treasury, appropriate the customs re-
ceipts, squeeze the Nicaraguan tax
payers, etc, in order that the huge
investment may pay commensurate
interest return. If precedent is fol-
lowed, there will be additional profits
guaranteed to the bankers in the
shape of lucrative concessions and
other special exploitation privileges.
Perhaps Nicaraguan workers and
peasants will be conscripted by the
marine-controlled government to work
on construction projects without pay,
as in Haiti!
Furthermore, little, if any, of the
money 'loaned" will ever be paid to
the Nicaraguan government. The
loans will be simple bookkeeping
transactions, the bankers paying the
money to themselves, in connection
with existing claims for damages
against Nicaragua This was the pro-
cedure during the last period of oc-
cupation-and it is already announced
that part of the new loans is to go
to settle outstanding claims. 1t goes
without saying that claims of this
kind are as easy to manufacture as
excuses for sending the marines.
Never was it more plain that
American imperialism is Wall Street
Imperialism. American workers have
no interest in helping j. & w. Selig-
man & Co. eXtort tribute from Mica
ragua. The interests of the workers
are with the Nicaraguan people,
against imperialism and imperialist
war.

Dill Production in
The Soviet Union
Sets New Record

MOSCOW, Nov. Is. - The produc
ton of oil in the Soviet Union in the
fiscal year which ended in October
broke all previous records, exceeding
pre-war (1913) production by over a
million tons and last years produc-
ton record by more than two million
tons.
Oil production in the last fiscal year
totalled 10,360,000 tons as compared
with 9,215,000 tons in 1913 Gan in
crease of 12.4 per cent. Technical
improvements which are rapidly being
introduced in the Baku region prom
Use to raise the production level still
higher in the coming year.
A good deal was exported to Eng
land, Germany, France and Italy. Ex-
ports to England have more than
doubled since 1913. Exports to Eng
land were $4,000 tons last year as
compared with 178,00O tons in 1918.

SHANGHAI, China, Nov. Is
General Tang Sen-chi, who fled from
Hankow when it was evident the city
would fall before the advancing
Marking troops, left for Japan today
aboard the steamer Shanghai Maru.
He arrived last night aboard
Japanese boat and hid during the
night with friends in the international
settlement.
Marking authorities made strong
efforts to capture Tang, but their eff
forts were unavailing as throughout
his flight he remained under the pro-
lection of foreign flags.

Hankow, from which Tang fled, has
not actually fallen as yet, although
its evacuation by the defending

day as negotiations for its surrender
were being carried on by Shien.
Meanwhile, the Marking COM
manders are bringing up shiploads of
troops and war vessels.

In the dormitories not only were
the women forbidden to receive their
friends and acquaintance, but they
were not even allowed to read the
papers or correspond with their rela-

the Hayasi Gumi Company's works,

ing to give in to the strikers, decided

discharge and leave the factory prem

the mill-hands were natives of remote

sist upon members of the Sodomei
being taken back.
At the same time they began to
agitate among strikers and workers
in other textile mills against the pro-
posal made by the Hycgikai and Rodo
Nominto to call conference of fac
tory delegates Their argu m n t
was that the conflict was nothing
much and could be settled without all
this fuss. At first their agitation was
a failure. Seeing that the strike was
calling forth great sympathy among
the peasantry, the local population as
well as among the labor organizations
the women workers resolved to hold
out.
Strike Smashed.
Despite, however, the fighting
spirit of the strikers, the Sodomei
leaders managed to smash the strike.
On the 18th Of September they dis
solved the Strike Committee and con-
WINGED the workers of the uselessness
of the struggle. This the reformists
have done two days after the workers
in 3 big and Is small Okays textile
mills had called. under the leadership
Of the Hyogikai, Conference Of Fac
tory Delegates, at which it was de-
cided to demand higher wages and
shorter hours from their employers
and to embark upon a campaign for
unemployment relief and the es-
Establishment of legal woman-and-
labor protection. The Sodomei lead
ers gave in just when the struggle
was beginning to attract attention
from broad sections Of the population,
and when even the Japanese Home
Office was forced to appear to assist
the strikers, instructing local au-
thorties to attempt to tone down the
employers. Rumor has it that the
Sodomei leaders got 10000 yen for
their treachery. Be this as it may
this strike has once again opened the
eyes of the Japanese workers as to
the interests really served by the
Sodomei.

MOSCOW, Nov. 15.--The three
hundred foreign Communists from all
parts of the world who are attending
the Congress of the friends of the
Soviet Union here have gone on rec
ord as endorsing the policies of the
Central Committee and of strongly
disappearing the actions of the. Oppo-
sition. Many of the delegates were
witnesses of the provocative actions
of the Opposition on November 7th.
At the proposal Of the foreign
Communists Bukharin reported on the
work of the Opposition. Even before
Bukharin had time to reply to various
questions put to him, the British del
egation presented a resolution endors-
ing the policies of the Central Com
mittee, which was subsequently adopt
ed unanimously and with only one
abstention.
Endorses Central Committee.
The Communist who abstained
from voting, declared that tho he him
self was personally convinced that the
Trotskyist Opposition was fighting
against the principles of the Novem-
Der revolution, he did not think him
self at liberty to vote on the resolu-
ton because the Opposition had not
been discussed in his organization.
The meeting was attended by dele
gates, most of them workers, elected
by large groups of workers in various
parts of the world. They unanimously
considered the actions of the Oppose
ton as leading to the formation of a
new party in the Soviet Union, in an
effort to bring disorganization into
the ranks of the Communist Interna-
tional and to undermine the dictator

Text of Resolution.
The resolution adopted follows:
1.-THE meeting of the Communist
members of the various delegations to
the Congress of the Friends of the
Soviet Union entirely supports the
Central Committee of our fraternal
All Union Communist Party in it's
struggle against the Trotskyist Oppo-
sition and entirely approves of the
measures taken against those who are
organizing a second party in the Sow
let Union.
"The meeting brands with shame
the efforts of the Trotskyist OPPOSE
ton, which are directed to the crea-
ton of new Communist International
with the assistance of the renegade
and anti-Soviet elements turnout the
world.
"The meeting is convinced that the
Communist Parties affiliated with
the Communist International will not
tolerate the actions of the Trotskyist
Opposition tending toward the disin-
tegration of the proletarian dictator
ship in the Soviet Union and the Com
munist International.
"The meeting insists that the Sc
verest measures be taken Immediately
against these enemies of the Novem-
Der revolution"

BERLIN, Nov. 15.-More than a
hundred thousand cigarmakers thru
out Germany have gone on strike fol-
lowing the rejection of their demand
for wage increase. The strike
comes on the heels of the settlement
Of the walkout of $4,000 Rhineland
textile workers. The textile workers
won a 101a per cent wage increase.
The offer of a number of small
cigar manufacturing establishments
of increases of 7 and per cent will
be rejected by the workers, it is be-
lieved. The cigarmakers work long
hours at very low wages. Shop con-
ditiors in the industry are bad.

By TAMURA.

There is probably no branch of in
dustry in Japan with worse labor con-
ditions than the textile enterprises.
One reason for this is that about $780,,
900 Of the million employed in the
textile industry are women the over
whelming majority of which are COM
pletely unorganized.
A 12-hour day in appalling hygienic
conditions, semi-starvation, contempt
and violence from the foremen and
administration, few sen remaining
over after deductions for board and
lodging-such is the usual lot Of the
Japanese mill-hands. They have to
remain within the factory premises
even in non-working hours, the en-
ployers, fearing that they will run
away, keeping them under lock and
key in dormitories surrounded by
high walls and often by barbed wire.
Widespread Strikes.
Only a few years ago the mill
hands endured this nightmare regime
almost without q murmur. During
the last two or three years, however,
strikes and conflicts in the textile en-
terprises have become the order of
the day. Among the most important
of these was the strike of 1900 mill
girls in September last in the three
factories of the Hayssi Gumi Com
pany, in the Negane Okeya province.
This strike furnishes yet another ex-
ample of the treacherous role being
played of late by the Right Japan

be ready with an answer, if not too
truthful one. He has been answer
ing such questions in Haiti for a long
time even while elections there
were being postponed indefinitely by

The truth is that American imperi-

therefore, it is found necessary to
supplement the military occupation
