Terms on Communists

ROME, March Is. Thirty-six
Italian Communists have been SEN
fenced to terms of Imprisonment
ranging from two to fifteen years
with the additional imposition of
heavy fines.
Their only crime is opposition to
the labOr-smashing tactics of Mus
sOlini. They were arrested in the
notorious red raids in September.
1925, and the summer of 1926, and
were not sentenced until yester-
day, when vicious sentences were
imposed upon them by the special

created
The technical charges lodged
against them were conspiracy
against the safety of the state,
fermentation of class hatred, sub
version of the powers of the state
and offences against Premier Mus

PROFITS, MISERY
IN SUGAR SHOWN
BY CUBAN EDICT
Cut Crop to Boost Price
In United States

It's sabotage if you cut down on
your output The criminal syndical-
ism law'll get you Or worse yet, in
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers, under the reign of Beckerman,
you'll be kicked out Of your job But
give an ear to what the American
sugar producers do in Cuba
The Cuban government, servant of
the American sugar interests, has
passed a law fixing officially the
quotas for all sugar mills. These
quotas for 1927 are far below 1926,
in order to cut down the amount of
sugar American workers will con-
sumo. By creating the artificial
shortage, the sugar interests will
boost the price of their product from
the present unsatisfactory level Of 3
cents a pound up to 3 cents, which
means about 10 cents Wholesale
Thus Central Aguirre with a Sc
dividend last year, Fapardo with $40,
National Sugar Refining with 81,
Savannah Sugar, preferred with 81
can boost those rates on watered
stock to 10. Is and % per cent.
After they get through with it, the
sugar in your morning coffee will
mean cruel exploitation of the Cuban
plantation workers, driven under the
bosses lash and terrorized by the
reactionary Machado regime; low
wages and long hours for the men
on the West Indies cargo boats; a
neat sum out of the consumers
pocket to pay the tariff levied to
protect" the Louisiana cane sugar
and western beet sugar interests;
big dividends for the producing COM
panies, bigger ones for the refiners,
and still bigger ones for the Wall
Street gamblers in sugar,
And that's only part of the story
of the robbery of Cuban and Ameri-
can workers through the owners of
sugar.

KELLOGG WARNS
SENATOR NOT TO
GO INTO HAYTI
Hypocritical Maneuver
To Hide Oppression

WASHINGTON, March Is. - i
Senator VIM. II. King CD Of Utah,
attempts to enter Haiti, despite his
elusion by President Borne, he viii
do so entirely upon his own lespon-
sibility and can expect no aid from
the, state department, it was stated
by department officials today.
King, now in Porto Rico, is reported
in press dispatches as intending to
try to enter the country despite the
exclusion order against him
BornO U. S. Hireling
President Borno of Haiti and his
foreign minister, Leon, issued a warn
ing to King not to come near the
place, after the American senator had
exposed them as mere pawns OF the
American marines. The government
of Haiti is VIGOROUSLY under the con-
troll of American sugar tobacco, and
financial corporations, with the U. S.
navy actually running it in the inter-
ests of American exploiters.
Borno's action, therefore, and the
u. s. state departments unwilling
ness to interfere, are alike branded
by observers here as a mere hypo-
critical slap by the Coolidge admins
tration at its critics.
VIII Enter Back Door.
Kings plan to enter the country,
it is understood, viii take him thru
Santo Domingo, overland into Haiti.
The only way to get him out then,
should Santo Domingo refuse to take
him back, is by carrying him thru
to the coast, and deporting him from
Port au Prince.
Santo Domingo was also recently
under the domination of the U. s.
even as Haiti is today. and it is feared
by state department officials in Wash
ington that his trip will encourage the
people to more independent spirit.

Comrades and
Fellow Workers:

After a years heroic struggle of
the Passaic textile workers, the mill
barons were forced to submit to a
union in the textile industry of Pas
sale. They are however putting OBJ
stacles in the way of maintaining
such an organization. Although the
strike is almost over, they are taking
the workers back very slowly, with
the result that thousands of families
are without means of existence. Their
children are hungry.
There are many families whose sole
supporters were sent to jail for long
periods because of their activities in
the strike. You must come to their
rescue. Relief must go on with full
speed
The General Relief Committee, who
is maintaining few food stores in
Passaic, appeals to all those who have
taken milk coupons to send in their
money as soon as possible, no matter
how much you have collected. Send
the money Immediately to the Cen

FRENCH EDITOR

Labor Journalist to

H. du Bruiel, editor Of the official
organ of the French Metal Workers

tour our industrial centers as a work

from Philadelphia to Detroit and
other large cities, studying condi-

"That is the way to get the facts"
says the French observer. It never
occurred to him, apparently, to travel
through the factories with a Cham
Der Of Commerce guide at his elbow,
like the London Daily Mail labor
mission to the United States some
time ago,
De Bruiel will write his observa-
tons in his magazine lie Peuple. He
says the daily newspapers Of France
are filled with propaganda for the
American Plan. They tell rosy stor-
les Of the high wages and high speed
in American factories. SO du Bruiel
has come to see for himself, and he
win give a year of his life to the job.
Some Of the things he will see in
the Yankee plants win not seem so
strange. For instance, the welfare
schemes in vogue in our big open
shop plants. Since the war the
French industriaists who are fight
ing the unions have been borrowing
many Of these devices. There is
company housing, company hospital
and nurse-visiting service, and com
pany sports.

tic countess on the job"
Meaning that not all countesses
are authentic?" interrupted the in
terviewer
The Frenchman's eyes twinkled as
sent.
Nor will the automatic, straight
line production systems of Henry
Ford and his rivals seem altogether
strange. Thousands of conveyors
have been installed in French plants
in the last years, and "standardiza-
ton efficiency and other terms
of the later machine age have been
taken bodily into the French Ian
guage.
Bitter times are the lot of the
worker in Europe today. said the
labor editor They have a saying in
France that before the war the
French worker got little and that to-
day he is getting nothing. The hope
of the workers is in unity, he con-
cluded.

Harvard Economists
See Good Year Ahead
After Panicky Start

After panicky misgivings early in
the year, duly reported by Wallprol
in reproductions from the Annalst,
the speculative community down
around Wall and Broad SITS, have de-
cided it's going to be a good year
after all. The Harvard Economic
Service, sponsored by the George +.
Baker-financied school of business,
sums it up this way:
'We believe that the hesitancy re-
Gently displayed by business has
about terminated and that business
will proceed actively during the re-
mainder of the year"
Certainly there's no doubt that
pickings are brisk for the engineers
in charge of the profit making
machine. With the exception of
1923, new stock and bond issues in
January this year were the largest
ever reported for that month. Dur
ing February they continued abnor-
mally heavy, with profit takers try
ing hard to reinvest the part of the
swag they couldn't swallow or put
on their backs
Harvey Flick & Sons, doing bust

Poor of All COlOrs,
United by a Common
Misery in California
BY JOHN II. OWENS.
Special to the Daily Worker.

RIPLEY, Calf, March 15.-There
is widespread unemployment among
the agricultural workers and migra-
tory laborers in the California cotton
belt, the Imperial, Palo Verde and
San Joaquin valleys.
The slump in cotton and agricul-
tural prices forced many tenants
and share-croppers into bankruptcy,
thus hurting them into the hanks Of
the agricultural workers and increas-
ing the ranks Of the unemployed.
Forced to Relipquish.
Many small proprietors have been
forced to relinquish their holdings
for the accumulated taxes and ex-
cessively high water rates.
The local banks and chambers of
commerce are taking advantage Of
the situation and organizing the
ranchers for the purpose of lower
ing the already pitiful wages. Were
it not for the fact that rural grocers
are extending credit to many, actual
starvation would face a great num-
Der.
The highways are crowded with
the landless and the dispossessed;
they travel in Fords, on horseback,
in wagons, burro packs and many are
walking, carrying their bedrolls on
their backs--men, women and child
ren,-Mexicans, whites and Negroes.
There is equality and fraternity in
misery. They are milling about with
no definite objective in view. The
alifornia land barons have the
workers just where they want them.

Brussels, Feb. Is. (By Mail, De-

nations and races singing, stamping
and clasping hands, the first world
congress against imperialism came to
an end at 80 this morning. The
congress leaves behind it a perman-

in 30 different countries, which will
Immediately proceed to take up the

oppressed people how great force
has been created here at Brussels
it is too early to say, but that, as Edo

down his gavel "this congress al
ready belongs to history, cannot be

National independence" which is the
official name Of the new organiza-
ton, has on its general council repre-
sentatives of the most important ma
tional-revolutionary organizations
thruout the globe.
Has Active Committee.
It's active directing committee con-

chairman. The headquarters of the
league will be in Paris.
Alternates for the small directing
committee are: Henri Barbusse

land) and II. Gibarti hungary.
High spots in the last days ses-
sions were Munzenberg's detailed re-
port on organization and Lansbury's
speech against Great Britain's pre-
sent war moves in China. Other
speakers at the closing session in
cluded Moore and Baldwin of the
United States, and Ernst Toller, the
well-known German poet and play
wright.
For American Negro.
Moore pointed out that the Negroes
in the United States represent a peo-
pie. more than one-tenth Of the total
population, living in conditions of
group-subjection comparable to those
of many colonies and semi-colonies.
He declares that, as Negro, he was
bound to consider that the fate Of
the Negro race was to a considerable
extent bound up with the world
struggle for the emancipation of all
nations, races and classes.
Baldwin spoke very briefly, giving
many little-known facts regarding
L. s. imperialist rule in Samoa,
Guam and the Virgin Islands. He
seconded the resolution introduced
by the Latin-American delegation,
calling for uninterrupted struggle
against American Imperialism.
No less than 100 messages of
greeting were received during the
course Of the congress. 1t was inn
possible to read more than three or
four of them.
