New South Wales Law
Blocks Greedy Owners

SYDNEY, Australia, (By Main -
During 1926, the Fair Rents Court
in New South Wales established by a
labor government some years ago,
dealt with 1891 applications for re-
auctions in rents. The reductions in
rents made by the court ranged from
"a cents to $6.12 per week for dwell
ings and "a cents to 1882 for shops.
The existence Of the court had re-
straihing influence on landlords gen
orally, since landlords knew that if
they charged excessive rentals, the
tenants would appeal to the court for
reductions Where a reduction is
made, the landlord is not allowed TO
dispossess a tenant Tor IL months fol-
lowing the courts decision, nor can
he seek increased rent from an in
coming tenant.

the case. Reed had obtained a memo
randum which Sapiro used yesterday
to give his net income between 1916
and 1927. The total was nearly $780,
900.
Gross Fees 4 Million.
Reed discovered the memorandum
also contained the gross fees received
by Sapiro and his associates over the
same period. He tried to get the sum
into the record to prove his earlier
statement that Sapiro had taken ST.
100000 from the farmers.
Sapiro said ne had obtained S5,000,-
900 in loans for the cooperative wheat
growers in Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and Montana.
Reed then brought out that Sapiro
quarrelled with the Idaho wheat grow
ers over the size of his fee for hav-
ing obtained a government loan for
them. Sapiro asked $4,000 fee and
$3.50 expenses but finally accepted
$4,000 which the wheat growers were
willing to pay.
"You had some controversy over
that?" Reed snarled.
"No, not at ALL" Sapiro replied,
apparently angry. There was just
a difference of opinion. y

MOSCOW, March Bitterly scor-

Blow to World Imperialism.
''rhe world today is divided into

WASHINGTON, March 81. - A

ignation from the cabinet, was denied
today by Kellogg.

though he has consistently denied pre-
vious reports Of this sort

was the organization of all the farm
ers of the world into single selling
groups to control the prices of each
basic farm product.
Cotton alone was excepted from the
world plan, Sapiro said, because at
was not feasible" He hoped however
to get the producers of all other sta
pie crops into the world farm organ
izations.
Lowden Implicated.
At the afternoon session Reed
stressed the activities of the Ameri-
can wheat advisory committee, of
which former governor Frank O. Low
den was chairman. He drew from Sa-
piro statements that Sears. Roebuck
and Company, Of which Rosenwald
is the head, Baruch and himself had
contributed to a fund raised by this
committee. Reed asserted these funds
were used to promote Sapiro cooper
atives but the wheat king said most
of the money was spent on a Kansas
wheat cooperative. Objections by Sa-
piro's counsel halted further ques-
tioning about these funds, although
Reed lodged a strong protest with the
court.
Fee Chaser.
"This was a part of the promotion
scheme employed by the gentleman
to get work for himself and fees for
himself" said Reed. "We have a
right to learn how much time he put
into his legal work for these associa-
tions and whether his fees were ex-
tortionate. We feel they were so ex-
tortionate that he had no right TO
collect them in the first place and
couldn't be damaged if he lost them"
Reed touched lightly on the cooper
alive situation in Kansas. Sapiro
said he got 81 100 for making speech
es in the sunflower state while the
wheat farmers were trying to organ
ize cooperative. He added that he
wrote the contract used by the Kan
sas wheat growers.
Big Pay From Bureau.
In Texas, Sapiro said he helped
organize the Texas wheat growers.
His retainer is $500 a year, he added,
his big earnings came from the Texas
farm bureau, it was shown, which
paid him S10,4O6 from 1920 to 1924.
Sapiro scored a point when the
court refused to allow Reed to in
iect the wheat kings gross fees into

PRUSSIAN PARTY
PROTESTS WHITE
HUNGARY TERROR
Rap Brutal Torture of
Imprisoned Workers

BERLIN, March 15.-(By MaiD
The following motion was laid before
the Prussian Diet by the Communist
fraction and accepted by the Diet
for debate;
1.-THE hungarian Bethlen govern
ment is carrying on an unceasing
brutal and bloody struggle for the de-
struetion Of the Hungarian working
class movement. The Bethlen gov
ernnment is using and has used mass
arrests, tortures and maltreatment
Of defenseless prisoners, years Of hard
labor, and drum-head executions in
order to intimidate the Hungarian
working class and to prevent it
carrying on any struggle for the inn
provement of its economic situation or
the acquisition OF political rights.
I'm the last few days it has become
known that the Hungarian govern
ment has once again made numerous
arrests amongst the workers simply
because the arrested belong to the
perfectly legal loft-wing Socialist
Workers Party or attempted to form
an organization of ieft-wing workers
side by side with this legal party.
The sum total of the accusations
brought against them is that they
have held educational courses.
Get Confessions By Torture.
"The Budapest police authorities
have announced that of the 76 ares
ted left-wing socialist and Communist
workers, So will be placed before an
extraordinary court which according
to Hungarian law can only pass enc
sentence-the sentence of death. The
arrested workers have been horribly
maltrated, their features beaten be-
yond recognition, beard and hair
dragged out by the roots and their
bodies beaten bloody in order to ex-
&ract confessions from them. These
facts are not in any way denied by the
Hungarian police.
"These terrible acts of the Hun
garian government represent a re-
crudesence Of the worst times of
medieval barbarism. These acts are
the results of a fanatical prosecuting
passion against the organized Hun
garian working class whose economic
situation is the worst Of any country
in Europe. All connection with this
government leads to a corresponds
bility for these acts of terror.
Urge Protest
Therefore the Prussian Diet de-
cides to instruct the Prussian cabinet:
1. To abolish the agreement made
between the Prussian State and the
Bethlen government through its edu-
cational minister Count Kiebersberg
for q German-Hungarian Educational
Cooperation and to abolish the Hun
garian Chair established in the Berlin
University as a consequence of this
agreement.
?. To inform the Hungarian gov
eminent that these measures are an
expression of the protest of the
Prussian Diet and the Prussian Cab
met at the acts of terror practised
upon the Hungarian working class"
