Give Cars Agent
u. S. S. R. Million

Echoes of the Russian revolution
and the Black Tom explosion in New
Jersey in 1926 were heard in the fed
eral court here yeterday when it was
announced that check for sum of
nearly a million dollars was for
warded to Serge Ughet, financial
agent Of the Gar and the Kerensky
provisional government.
The check was ordered payable to
Ughet by Federal Judge Francis E.
Winslow following suit against the
Lehigh Valley Railroad as the result
Of the destruction of munitions,
which had been bought and paid for
by the Russian government, in the
Black Tom explosion.
The Russian government was
awarded 1884, 104.62 damages. As
the Soviet government has not been
recognized by the United States, the
Lehigh Valley Railroad paid the
money to the United States treasury
and then Judge Winslow ordered the
money paid to Ughet.
1t is expected that the Soviet gov
eminent will take steps to stop pay
ment on the check to Ughet.

MACHADO, WALL
STREET PUPPET,
GRIPS HIS JOB
Liberals Hit Coolidge
Visit to Havana

WASHINGTON, (FP) Dec. 22.-
Gerardo Machado, the dictator who
caused hundreds of workers to be
killed during his first year in office,
is now putting through servile con-
gress q series of measures that will
keep him in office for two years be-
yond the term for which he was
elected. A revolution is preparing.
Cubans, led by many of the veterans
Of the War of Liberation of 80 years
ago, want to know whether they will
have to fight only Machado or must
fight also the armed forces Of the
United States.
Wall Streets Hero.
Machado has made himself the hero
Of the American interests, and of the
American embassy in Havana, by his
ruthless crushing of strikes and his
suppression of the unions of railroad
workers and tobacco workers. He has
used the national lottery, with its
thousands of lucrative ticket selling
agencies, as a means Of buying the
membership of the Cuban congress,
and by fluent promises of reform or
by denial Of the ugly facts of his
record has stilled protests.
Fear .. 8. Guns.
Since 1917 when Woodrow Wilson
declared against any recognition Of
revolutionary regime in Cuba, the
hope of overthrowing a dictator has
been discouraged. In that year the
Gomez revolt against President Men
ocal failed becaused of the attitude
of the United States. Now ten years
have brought tremendous increase
in American investments in Cuba, with
consequent fear of revolutions. Ma
chado feels perfectly secure within
the no-recognition trenches against
his whole country in revolt.
That is why the leadership of
Cuba, including Col. Carlos Mendieta
and former Vice President Varona,
Cosme de la Torriente, Pedro E. Be-
tancourt, Aurelio Alvarez, Gen. Jose
Marti and long list of others who
have been high officials in the con-
gress, cabinet or diplomatic corps of
theS republic, have signed an appeal
against Maehado's program. They do
not want the Coolidge visit to Havana
to be used as a prop to the dictator
shin,

Federal Reserve Banks and
Morgan Maintain MusSOlimi

j. P. Morgan & Co. will extend a
S25,000,000 loan to the Italian Fas-
cist Government, it was learned yes
terday The loan will be made in
connection with the attempt to sta
billie the Italian Ira.
In addition to Morgan & Co. the
United States Federal Reserve Bank
and the Bank of England are said
to have been involved in the negotia-
tons for Italy's return to gold
basis.
The $25,000,O00 loan is only the
latest of a series which Morgan G.
Co. has floated for the maintenance
of the Fascist government in Italy.
TRIESTE, Italy. Dec. 22.-Goverr-
ment by decree is now endeavoring
artificially to stabilize the Ira at 10
cents to the dollar Such was the de-
eision of Mussolinis cabinet at Rome
this afternoon. This is its pre-war
basis. This is to be put into effect
tomorrow morning and its effect upon
the international money market can
not be established because it was an
nounced after the close of the stock
exchanges, but it means a pronounced
deflation of Italian currency.
Heavy Initiation Past Year.
The past year was one of heavy
initiation with the Ira constantly fall
ing and the masses of workers bear
ing the burden in the decreased pur-
chasing power of their wages. The
Ira rate in percentage of dollar parity
fell from 17.7 in August 1926 to 1913
in August, 1927, the latest official
figures of the treasury department,
but it is now something in the neigh
borhood Of 81 to the dollar.
With this rise in currency issues
wholesale prices fell by Is per cent
and retail prices by 16 per cent and
the cost of living by per cent. Fur
Their wage reductions are impossible
because wages are now below the sub
sistence point. The proposed stablll-
cation will enable those now holding
money to realize considerable reduc-
ton in prices because it will take
some time for wholesale and retail

prices to adjust themselves to the
new system.
Big Industrialists Gain
The recent initiation resulted in
thousands of small industrial and COM
merical establishments going to the
wall which benefited the big concerns
inasmuch as it reduced competition,
but even the big industrialists for the
most part had to depend upon gov
eminent aid to avoid sinking into
bankruptcy.
The present sterilization is an at
tempt to rescue the big industrialists
from an impending crisis by placing
the burden upon the workers and par
ticularly upon agriculture as it viii
automatically have the effect of re-
ducing incomes from farm products
The crisis in Italy is growing more
serious every day and unemployment
is widespread. Even the wholly un-
reliable figures of the fascist govern
ment admit that unemployment has
increased from 10000 as the 1926
average for the year to more than
100000 today. These are admitted
to be actually unemployed, while hun
dreds of thousands of others are
working part time and those on full
time are below the subsistence level.
