SCANDALS over
INDIAN PROPERTY
READY TO BREAK
Tribes Want to Know
Who Gets Their Money

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is (FP). -
Scandals in the Indian Bureau, involv-
ing the hundreds of millions of dol
lars worth of properties held by the
government for the Indians now liv-
ing on reservations, are scheduled for
Senate investigation in the next few
months.
Preliminary work on this situation
has been undertaken by counsel for
the larger tribes in the Northwest
and Southwest, looking toward intro
duction in Congress of a resolution
empowering either Senate commit
tee or joint committee to probe the
complaints made as to handling of
funds and of lands, timber, power re-
sources, etc., together with an investi-
cation into charges of tyrannical
treatment of Indians by various agents
whose conduct has gone unpublished
by Commissioner Burke.
Burke's right to hold office will be
inquired into, since it is alleged that
he cannot continue in office after the
senate has failed to confirm his ap-
pointment.

NEWS FROM THE SOVIET UNION

The last session of the Presidium of
the Moscow Soviet was taken up with
the question of how the sections of
the Soviets carry out the instructions
of the electors. Over 1900 amend
ments to the instructions of the last
elections have been carried out.
1t has become clear that the sec
tons and all institutions carry out the
instructions fairly rapidly and ac-
curately. Thus, for instance, the
Health Section opened up ten new dis
pensaries, instituted Sunday work in
them and registration through the
the telephone on request of the work
ers. The food in the hospital also has
been improved in compliance with
numerous requests of the workers.
The education department has car
ried out Cd per cent Of the workers

The system of putting the minutes
of the Soviet sessions and sessions of
the various sections on the wall in
factories has been introduced. Every
elector can in this manner always
know what the Soviets are doing.
One of the forms of mass work of
Town Soviets is the organization of
commissions to take care of sanitary
living and working conditions. In
Moscow 41,000 people have been
drawn into those commissions. There
are also commissions to assist the
schools and 5000 people are working
in them in Moscow. There are other
similar commissions.
These new forms of work bring the
Town Soviets still closer to the
masses.

MOSCOW, Nov. 1S.-Thirty thou
sand workers have applied for ad-
mission to the All Union Communist
Party in a very short time, Pravda
points out in an editorial.
With the rapid development of the
membership campaign, the Pravda
says, there is no doubt that by the
time of the Fifteenth Party Congress
the increase will be so large as to
clearly justify the proletarian line
taken by the Party.
The enthusiasm of the November
celebrations has spread to Communist
Parties abroad, the editorial con-
tinues. During the first few days of
the celebrations more than four thou
sand workers joined the ranks of the
German Communist Party and
fifteen thousand additional workers
became subscribers to Communist
papers.

MOSCOW, Nov. 18.-The exposures
made in connection with the confer
ence of Lithuanian political exiles at
Riga proves beyond a doubt that Po-
land has designs on Lithuania and
that she is making active military
preparations that must cause anxiety
to all friends of peace, according to
an editorial in the ,Pravda, official
organ Of the All-Union Communist
Party.
The masses of the Soviet Union
are following the events on the north
western frontier with the greatest
apprehension, the Pravda says. They
clearly recognize that the absorption
of Lithuania by Poland means a step
toward the realization of the chau-
vinists' slogan of Polish militarists,
"The frontiers Of 1892" This slo-
gan, Pravda says, means the end of
the independence of the Lithuanian ma
ton and at the same time an attempt
to seize the territories of Ukrainia
and White Russia.
Must Halt Imperialists.
"The masses realize" the Pravda
says, chat in the attempt to seize
Lithuania, the Polish imperialists de-
sire at the same time to cut off the
Soviet Union from the west.

by some refugees from Marking,
namely, Wang Ching-wei and Chen
kung-po.
Wang Ching-wei is the great CEN
trist leader Of the Kuomintang. He
has been on every side in the current
struggles in the Kuomintang within
a period of six months. In April he
issued joint manifesto with the Sec
rotary Of the Chinese Communist
Party. In June he denounced the
Communists and declared they must
be expelled from the Kuomintang. In
July he began negotiations with
Marking for unity with the Chang
Kai-shek group. In August he split
from the unified MISUNDERSTANDING
government. In September after
Teng Shen-tse had proclaimed Han
kow Independent, Wang Ching-wei
fled to Canton, together with Chen
Kung-po, former head of the labor
department of the Kuomintang.
Upon their arrival in Canton Wang
Ching-wei and Chen Kung-po held a
conference with General Lii Chi-sum.
From this conference was issued a
manifesto declaring that the central
Kuomintang government was re-es-
tablished in Canton, and inviting all
central committee members to come
to Canton and again rally around
"the three principles of Sun Vat
Sem" This was the situation at the
time the last authentic reports had
arrived in America.
In the meantime the "new militar-
lists" of central China have been tear
ing to pieces the remaining frag-
ments of the right wing Kuomintang.
Teng Shen-tse started troops from
Hankow towards Marking. He was
defeated and driven back upon Han
kow. The approach of Marking
troops in the vicinity of Hankow was
the signal for General Ho Chen, sub
ordinate of Teng Shen-tse, to rise

who committed suicide last night after
five years suffering from a malady

Joffe was chairman of the Soviet
delegation at Brest-Litovsk during the
signing of the treaty between the L..

Joffe served as Soviet ambassador
to Berlin in 1921 and later served as
ambassador to China. In China, Jo2

Studies in Berlin.

Joffe was born in Simferopol,
Crimea in October 1883 and joined
the revolutionary movement at the
age of seventeen. Barred from a
Russian university because of his
radical tendencies, he went to Berlin
where he studied medicine from 1908
to 1906. In 1907 he went to Zurich
where he completed law course and
finally went to Vienna where he took
postgraduate work in both law and
medicine.
Joffe took an active part in both
the 1905 and 1917 revolutions and
soon after November was elected to
the Petrograd Workmen's d
Soldiers Council.
His outstanding ability at Brest-
Litovsk, as Ambassador to Germany
and later to China marked him as one
of the leading Soviet diplomats.

Within the Marking government a
dozen rivalries are brewing new
splits and civil wars. The Western

The generals are too jealous of one
another to allow any one to win VIC

same condition exists between Feng

Province, who sent the expedition
against Picking a few weeks ago.
Within Chang Tso-lin's combina-
ton in Picking is also at work the
forces of disintegration. The only
way in which these have shown them
selves openly within the last few
months has been the friction between
Sun Chuang-fang and Cheng Tsung-
chang, the anti Japanese movement
in Manchuria and the strike move
ments that have broken out in sew
eral places in the north. 1t is known,
however, that within the Chang Tso-

groups are struggling bitterly
against one another for hegemony.

would mean that General Fa-kwei

and fearing a clash with the left
wing armies has himself turned left
again fer the purposes of the mo-

again with the Chinese militarists of

an attempt with the center against

Ii Chi-sum on account of the unfav-

of these leaders who play around with

depended upon at all in any serious
struggle, yet the fact that they are

all previous waves of revolutionary
development.

No story of crime was ever richer
in horror and blood; no Jewish
prophet or Hindu sage, preaching
the coming of Karma or Jehovah'S
wrath, could better the moral of the
tale.

local to universal theme, from a
narrative of primitive horror to a
symbolism that reaches into the
very heart of the human tragedy.
The hero of the play, so loved by
Goethe and Shelley, was honored
in Hellenic legend as the discoverer
of fire and the consequent initiator
of Greek civilization.

1T was religion that suggested
4 drama, and Aeschylus who in
vented it. We have seen it poten-

Dionysian cult; the song and dance
Of the worshipers generated the
chorus and the chorus generated the
play.
Legend tells how Thespis, toward
the end Of the sixth century before
Christ, selected a member of the
chorus to act special role in the
religious or mythical story which
formed the theme of the choral
song. AeschyluS added a second
actor as foil to the first, and SO
