ently he found a hollow branch. At least, it was almost hollow. The heart of 1t had routed away. White foot dug it out. The he began to feel easier. Bobby Coon couldn't get him there anyway. The chief trouble now wal he had nothing to eat Whitefoot decided that the best thing for him to do was to curl up for a nap and forget that he was hungry. He didn't think that Whitey the Snowy Owl would stay around very long. Then he safely could go look for some food and for another home. So Whitefoot curled up in that hollow branch that opened from Bobby Coon's house: and soon he was fast asleep and dreaming dreams Of dreadful things. Those dreams. you see, were the result of the frights he had had.
 Whttefoot slept for some time. Then his eyes flew open. Then he gave little gasp. For a moment he couldn't think where he was. Strange noises filled hi. ears. He couldn't think what they were, or who was making them: and then he remembered where he was. Those noises were being made by Bobby Coon. It must be that Bobby had awakened.
 Very carefully. so as to make no noise, Whitefoot crept to where he could look down in Bobby Coons house. There was no doubt about it, Bobby was awake. He was grumbling to himself md twisting and turning. He seemed to be trying to make up his mind whether to go to sleep again or to really wake up, and he was having a hard time do- ing 1t. How Whitefoot did hope he would go to sleep aagin!
 T must get out of here" said Whitefoot to himself. T must get ous of here. just can't stay here"
 But Whitefoot did stay. You see he couldn't get up courage enough to climb down to that open doorway and run out He would start and run back. Then he would start again, Coon moved. He made ever 50 many starts, but each time his courage failed him. All the time Bobby Coon was becoming more and more awake. Presently he started to climb up to his doorway.
 Whitefoot almost squealed aloud with fright. You see at first White foot thought that Bobby was climb ing up after him. He was too fright ened to do any real thinking. Bobby Coon didn't know he was there, and he knew that Bobby didn't know he was there But in his fright at seeing Bobby climbing up he forgot all this. He ran back into the hollow branch just as far as he could go. And there, with his little heart going pit-a-pat pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat. he waited. What did I ever come in here for? What did I ever come in here for?" he kept saying over and over to himself.
 Meanwhile, Bobby Coon climbed up to his doorway, and there he sat for the longest time, looking out and trying to make up his mind whether to go out for a little look about, or to go back to bed. Finally he decided to go back to bed.

great question has been raised
as to whether Germany can and will
continue to make the payments pro-
vided by the Dawes plan. The pay
ments of next year, which will amount
to l, 200 900 900 marks, will be perhaps
the first test. Then the payments go
up until the fifth year which is sup.
posed to be the standard year under
the Dawes plan. Then the payments
will amount to $500, ,000,000 gold
marks.
think before that time comes there
will be such strong demand for a
revision in Germany: such a strong
campaign, such military strength
shown by the German commonwealth
that they will be able to force q re-
vision OF the payments under the
Dawes plan. Signs of that are already
visible In the propaganda that goes
out from Germany.
Charges Figures Wrong.
Recent statistics indicate that the
trade balance Is strongly against Ger
many. They say when a man ceases
to believe in Santa Claus, he still be-
lieves in statistics. According to
report sent out by one of the large
banking firms In this city, they showed
an adverse balance to Germany OF 900,
100000 gold marks last year.
But a report by a banking Arm
known as Gebrueder Arnhold, doing
business in Berlin. says that its own
government is not giving correct fig
ures. 1t says: considering the mis-
take at the source Of the official trade
statistics. the details of which cannot
be analyzed here, and using the off,
e,al government statistics as a basis,
we arrive at O conclusion that the ex-
port balance of Germany in 1925
against import can be assumed to be
at @least 100000 gold marks In
addition to that. Germany has deliv.
cred on reparation account more than
600.000000 gold marks in goods, which
does not appear in official statistics. :"
When the American bankers say that
the unfavorable balance Is over 900,-
100000 gold marks and the Arm OF
German bankers sending out this re-
port, which goes only into Germany,
says that favorable balance is near
ly the same figure, one or the other
must be wrong. It is impossible to
tell which Ii correct, but we may ex-
pect a continuance OF propaganda to

So runs the tale of Russian intrigue
in part. Many chapters remain un-

the Russian plans to bolshevize China.
Nationalist Move Blamed
1t is the opinion of this observer.

Chinese tribulations are due to a
healthy Nationalist movement which
has only been using Soviet agents as
q means to it's end. When the Chi.
nese have obtained their national in.
dependence they will throw out the
Russians.
This opinion comes from an appre.
citation of the general sanity and level.
headedness of the Chinese people.
They are too intensely materialistic
and too devoted to their families to
accept the communistic principles OF
common property and loose family
ties.

Is China becoming bolshevized? With
Americans forced to flee from most
of China, with red flags fiaunted in
almost every Chinese city and with
labor mass meetings being held on
the border of the international city
of Shanghai, that question is being
asked more repeatedly than any other
regarding China.
Soviet Russia has spent 10 years
and several million rubles in her at.
tempt to bolshevize China. Few peo-
ple realize that as far back as 1918,
only a few months after Lenin and
Trotzky had established themselves
in Moscow, they turned their activity
toward China In that year an Ameri
can consul happened to be sitting in
the Bureau of Far Eastern Affairs
and noticed that one end of the Office
was heaped high with curious looking
printed matter. When Voshnishensky,
head OF the bureau, happened to leave
the room for a moment, the consul ex-
amined the pamphlets. They were
printed in Chinese and advocated a
Communist government in China.
That marked the beginning of a long
and carefully planned Russian program
to bolsheyiZe China. Lenin, especially,
believed that the future of communism
was in the Far East. In 1913 he estab-
lished a school in Moscow called the
University of the Far East, to which
came over 900 students from China,
Japan, Java. India, Egypt and North
Africa. They were taught that the
white capitalistic nations should be
overthrown.
School i'm VladivOstok.
In 1923 another such school was
established in Vladivostok, where
Oriental students might study without
the expense of crossing Siberia.
In 1925 the University of Sun Wen
was established at Moscow in honor
of DIR. Sun Yat.Sen.
Meanwhile Moscow's mail cam.
palsn continued. China was deluged
with communist pamphlets. In 1922.
while travelling in the interior of
Siberia, this correspondent ran across
copy of the Soviet laws regulating
hours and wages. A few months
later in Shanghai he found the
Chinese labor unions were advocating
law which was almost identical,
even to the wording.

bank in Manchuria told the writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 49, The
senate foreign relations committee
today favorably reported the Boran
resolution requesting President Cool
idgu to negotiate a treaty with Mex
leo extending the life of the general
claims commission between the
United States and Mexico.
The resolution was sponsored by
Senator Borah, so the commission
could be used to adjudicate the pres
ent controversies over Mexican oil
and land laws.
The committee also discussed the
Frazier resolution, prohibiting the
president from using American
troops in Mexico during the recess of
congress, but no action was taken.
Living up to his practice of spread
ing misinformation thru the state de-
partment, Secretary Kellogg today
informed the senate that 70 per cent
Of the oil producers in Mexico have
refused to subscribe to Mexico's new
petroleum law. The secretary had
heen requested to furnish data from
the department bearing on the oil
situation.
This statement is at variance with
the facts given out by reliable
sources which show that most of the
oil producers in Mexico have come
under the provisions of the new law.

Flivvered Before
Special to The Daily Worker.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Feb. 16.-A
conference between representatives
Of the striking bus drivers, the
bosses, a committee of the Central
Labor Union and the boulevard COM
missioners was held yesterday at the
headquarters of the boulevard com
mission to try end the strike of the
400 bus drivers. After several hours
discussion the conference adjourned
until tomorrow.
AT the conference Moses Green
berg, representing the bus owners,
offered to raise the workers pay to
$44 week at once and make it S45
weekly within a year. Greenberg
promised the workers $45 a week one
year ago and then withdrew his Of
fer, leading bus drivers to doubt his
new promises.
Will Inform Workers.
At meeting of the strikers to be
held Thursday at IL a. m. at the
Orpheum Theatre, Edward Levy,
strike leader, will notify the workers
of Greenberg offer.
That Greenberg should now be
willing to pay the workers S44 a
week when last Saturday he had is
sued a ultimatum demanding the
workers to return no later than Mon
day morning at IL at $40 weekly, is
causing quite little comment among
the workers.
Those present at the conference
were five Representatives of the
Central Labor Union headed by Presi-
dent Charles jennings; committee
Of five drivers, four bosses and four
boulevard commissioners.
Policemen Only Scab.
1t is stated that so far the only
scab that the bosses have used is one
local policeman who drives a scab
bus for about eight hours every
evening after finishing his regular
tour.
