Secret Session on the
Hearst Forgeries

(CCnrlnued from Page One)
which are to appear in Excelsior"
and written by Julio Trens, owner Of
the government news agency and a
former employee of Hearst who ac-
companied him on pleasure" trip
through Mexico in 1921.
Attacking the anti-Mexican cam
paign of the American publisher as
an "odious intrigue" Trens charges
that Hearst's action in publishing the
documents was motivated by the de-
sire to wreak vengeance upon the
Mexican government for refusing to
grant Hearst title to extensive
land holdings in the state of Chi
huahua which are affected by a de-
cree multiplying the concession granted
to Jesus Velenzuela & Co."
That Pleasure" Trip.
Trens relates that Hearst visited
Mexico in 1921 and that he CFrens)
was commissioned by the Mexican
government as Hearst's guide and in
terpreter Hearst" says Trens
was surrounded by pleasant company
and princely comfort, and gave me
the impression of a man morbidly
sensual and given up completely to
egoistic pleasures.
Every little spiritually and no in
tellectual finesse was l able to OBJ
serve in Hearst during his tour
Neither champaigns nor excellent
viands, nor excellent companions were
wanting for single moment
Saw Danger to Property.
According to Trens, Hearst learned
on this trip of the menace of losing
his properties, although he did every
thing to ingratiate himself with the
Mexican government. with the hope
that his land holdings in Chihuahua,
which included the Bavicora develop
ment, would not be affected by the
provisions of the national agrarian
legislation"
Despite this, says Trens, the Next
can Department of Agriculture in
1923 declared as voided the concession
which had been granted to Jesus
Valenzuela in the days of President
Gonzales, in accord with the colonial
ton laws then in force. In this allen
zuela concession are included the
larger part Of the lands which make
up the holdings of Hearst in Chi
hauhau, according to the signed ar.
ticle by Trens.
Says Clark Bought Documents.
Trens declared that Edward s.
Clark, who he described as Rearst's
business partner exclusive of news
paper investments, is the connecting
link in the present documents. He
also declares that Clark, as Hearst'S
land holding manager in Mexico, now
suddenly appears as the directing
genius in the Hearst newspaper or
ganization's buying documents to BIZ
published in the newspapers of the
syndicate"
at is self evident that this intro
mission of Mr.. Clark into newspaper
affairs, which is not his business, i!
only a part Of his regular occupa
ton, which is the management OF the
Hearst properties in Mexico" de
clared Trens.

angel to throttle the Russian Work
ers' Republic.
THE Workers Library is dedicated to
the publication of working class
literature, to the conserving of the
traditions and experiences of the
American labor movement, to the
spread of working class theory.
It's aim is to help in the building
of a more powerful labor movement,
one capable of coping with the most
powerful capitalist class in the entire
world.
THE Workers Library inaugurates
it's series of publications with this
present pamphlet dealing with the
victorious Russian revolution. About
no event in human history has the
capitalist press and literature of
America and the official press of the
A. F. of L. bureaucracy spread more
poisonous and lying propaganda than
about the Russian revolution of 1917
The reasons why American CAPT
talism is trying to keep us from know
ing the truth about the Soviet Union
where the workers rule, are obvious.
And it is precisely for these reasons
that we have to struggle to get the
truth about that world shaking event.
Hence the Workers Library pub
fishers feel that it is peculiarly ap-
propriate to inaugurate it's series of
publications with a pamphlet contrib
uting to the spread of the truth about
the Russian Revolution and the Soviet
Union-a pamphlet written by a we'll
known labor journalist who has wit
messed with his own eyes the achieve
ments of the Russian workers and
peasants and who is even now in the
Soviet Union conveying the greetings
of the American workers to their
Russian brothers.

GRANTLAND ASSISTANT
SECRETARY OF STATE
Governor Robinson Names Viii.
mingtOn Lawyer To Temper
airy Office.

Governor Robert P. Robinson on
Saturday morning announced the
appointment of Charles H. Grant
land as Assistant Secretary Of State.
Authority for naming such an Off
cial was vested in the governor by
a bill which was passed by the SEN
ate and House Friday afternoon at
Dover and later became a law of
the state when the chief executive
attached his signature to the meas
ure. Under this act the Assistant
Secretary of State is clothed with
all the powers vested in the Secre-
tary of State. His salary will be
$4,000 a year. The office is a tempo
rary expedient and becomes null
and void at the end of Governor
Robinson's term according to the
provisions of the new law.
The naming of someone to attend
to the duties of the Office of Secre-
tary of State was imperative be-
cause of the long and serious illness
of Secretary of State Sylvester D.
Townsend, Jr., who has been con-
fined to his bed at his home in DO
yer for several weeks. There has
been a great accumulation of busi-
ness that is now demanding immed-
late attention and the situation had
become such that it was imperative
action be taken without further de-
lay to relieve the situation.
The charter business, which
means so much to Delaware in the
way Of revenues, was becoming i'm
periled and, in fact, the state was
threatened with a loss of this
source of revenue if Delaware had
to go much longer without someone
legally qualified to handle this bus
mess. The naming Of an assistant
who assumed his new duties at once
will relieve this condition.
There was some delay in getting
the bill authorizing the governor to
make the appointment through the
legislature because the Democratic
members objected to it on the
ground that it would be perma-
nent Office. The original was chang
ed to make the Office temporary.
Governor Robinson went before the
Democratic law makers and assur-
ed them the Office would be abolish
ed in the event Secretary Townsend
recovered and returned to his du-
ties.
It is understood that Governor

MilfOrd's new Chamber of Com
merce took step nearer to final or
ganizatiOn last week when the Ex-
ecutive Committee elected Rev. Guy
Hill, rector of the Episcopal Church
here, as Secretary. Rev. Mr.. Hill
will devote much of his time to this
work and the agreement under
which he is employed provides that
he must employ an assistant whom
he is to pay himself. Mr.. Hill has
assumed his new duties, relieving C.
Donnap Holzmu9ller, who was act
ing as temporary secretary until
permanent one could be secured.
Offices have been opened in the Com
munity Building and already inquir-
les received from persons interest
ed in this section of the State are
being answered.
Speaking of the Chamber of Com
merce this week, Secretary Hill
said:
"In the minds of many of Mil
ford's progressive townspeOple
there has been felt for sometime
the need of a real, live, permanent
organization which would enable
Milford to take its proper place
among the first and best towns Of
this Peninsula. In view of this
awakening of this feeling a meeting
was scheduled and held in the Com
munity Building. The people who
came to this meeting represented
not those merely OF one class or
those of one mind, but all classes,
and men of widely differing opin-
ions became as one mind when the
desire to make Milford "The Finest
Town of the First State" was voic-
ed by the chairman. Consequently
an embryo organization, known as
the Chamber of Commerce was be-
gun and is now being perfected and
will soon be housed in the Com
munity Building on the second floor.
We will be there for the service of
the community and its members.
"The reason for most failures in
life is a lack of a definite aim and
purpose. We, therefore, in order
that we may live, must have a def
mite and well known purpose. The
reason for our existence is to bring
into the closest unity all the indus
trial, commercial and professional
interests of the community, in order
that there may be concentrated in
one central body all the community
energy and interest, thereby Great

vancement and material upbuilding
