Local Rabbits TO
welcome" Walker
On Return Here

PARIS, Sept. 18.--After boasting
last week that he knows nothing Of
international politics and conaplica-
tions," Mayor Walker, New York's
jazz Prince of Wales, has just la
mented the lack of "a pen of Balzac
or a Daudet" in which to express his
admiration for this city.
The mayor, on junketing tour of
Europe, which it is supposed he will
pay for out of his own salary, has
already fraternized with some of the
leading imperialists and fascists in
Europe. Especially was he full of adj
niration for Mussolini and his terror
regime.
Yesterday was spent by the giddy
mayor in a series of luncheons and
receptions. He was also officially told
that he would receive "big welcome"
by the Advertising Club of New York
upon his arrival on the lie de France

Willard Describes
Brutality Of N, Y,
Police in Article

The vicious third-degree method in
all its brutal variations as practised
by members of the New York police
department, are described by Oswald
Garrison Willard, editor of "The Ma
ton" in the current issue of Harpers
Magazine.
Citing his facts from the Society OF
Penal Information and other official
sources, Willard tells of the various
tortures inflicted by uniformed men
and detectives in extracting "confes-
sions" from prisoners awaiting hear
ings.
Quote Police Reporter.
Willard quotes A. G. Sedgwick, a
New York police reporter;
"The 'shellacin' has started. Blow
after blow from the rubber hose,
blackjacks and nightsticks. The blood
pours from their faces. They spit and
cough blood. A detective kicks the
prisoner in the face, pulls him to his
feet, props him against the desk, then
with the butt end of his revolver
makes a cash in his head. The victim
is taken to the hospital" The editor
also tells of detectives jumping on the
prone bodies of prisoners from tables
and chairs.
Willard relates the case of George
Pons "who was beaten for an entire
night and rope around his neck was
pulled every now and then" when he
reported the murder of a friend to
Commissioner Warren on May 81
1.-TWO days later, he was discharged
from police court as innocent 9th
ers have received fractured skulls"
Rubber Hose a Favorite.
The writer declares that a favorite
method of the New York police is to
use a rubber hose, which hurts more
than a billy or club yet leaves no
marks.
Willard, in concluding says that the
barbarity of the local cops is found in
other cities thruout the U. S.

Reveal New Imperialist
Aims at Many Meetings

PARIS, Sept. 18.-The facts about
the last imperialist war were being
told in halls thruout the city to thous-
ands of workers while the salaried
militarists, led by 'Black Jack" PERISH
ing, attempted to revive jingo pro-
paganda by stereotyped ceremonies at
the graves of victims of the slaughter.
Marshal Foch followed Pershing at
the staged pilgrimage" to Mount
Valerien, one of the many. American
cemeteries in France. Belying the
peace speeches of the generals were
the long lines of infantry and the
municipal guard standing with fixed
bayonets, while overhead the French
army biplanes lowered low over the
rows of crosses.
Orgy Continues.
Meanwhile the Opera Comique and
dozen other theaters put on gala
performances for the Legion dele
gates, acting according to hints from
the government which seemed to have
the force of orders.
The Montmarte section had laid in
thousands of extra bottles Of cham
pagne, and the high-spirited dance
halls were preparing for u record pa
tronage. 1t is understood that only
veterans" with plenty of money came
over in the "Second A. E. f."
Pershing and Foch clasped arms
as they entered the "House of Amer
lean Nations" which will be used as
the headquarters Of the American
fascists during their riotous stay here.
Tomorrow the program of the
Legion includes a dinner which the
French government is giving in honor
Of Pershing and Howard P. Savage,
national commander of the labor-hat-
ing gang, at the Palais d'Orsay. At
that time Premier Poinca.re and q
number of leading reactionaries will

Living. Conditions
Grow Worse, State
Polish JniOnists

WARSAW, Sept. 18.-With wide
growing unrest among the working
and peasant class, Marshal Pilsudski
continues his attempts to transform
the bourgeois republican state into
an open fascism.
The trade unions have lined up
against Pilsudski. The central body
by large majority has passed a res
olution which says that living condi-
tions for the working class are be-
coming steadily worse, that the in
dustrial capitalists and the large
landowners are profiteering.
Support Parliament.
The resolution also threatens
measures against the present dicta-
tor if he does not yield to the par
lament, with which he is now in a
bitter struggle. He is accused of at
tempting to overthrow parliament
altogether. He has twice overawed
it by massing troops in the streets,
and forcing it to revoke decisions he
does not like. But the army is no
longer quite so reliable, and it is still
doubtful whether another such movs
would succeed without considerable
bloodshed, and perhaps a long civil
war.
Constitutional Struggle.
Recently a constitutional war has
been waged, the premier" and the
parliament taking advantage success
sively Of red tape provisions of Po-
lands loosely drawn and complicated
written organic law.
Some months ago the parliament
attempted to pass law making it
possible for either house by bare
majority to dissolve and order new
elctions. Pilsudski dissolved parlia-
ment before it could be passed. That
was constitutional. But it was also
constitutional for parliament to re-
convene on the signed call of cer-
tain number Of deputies, and this
was done; it is now in session. But
it cannot, constitutionally do any
business without permission from
the premier, and he has refused.
Parliament has found some legal
quibble for overcoming this state of
affairs, and is now ready to go
ahead, leaving Pilsudski the choice
of compromising with it, or throwing
it out and ruling alone. The ma
jority in parliament is held by rich
peasants and small business men.

PUT COMMUNIST
IN IRISH DAHL;
LARKIN ELECTED
C0sgrave Government
in Desperate Straits

DUBLIN, Ireland, Sept. 18,-The
election to the Irish Dali of James
Larkin, Irish strike leader and at one
time imprisoned under the New York
state criminal anarchy" law marks
the first parliamentary gains of the
Irish Workers League, member of
the Communist international, and
presages in the opinion of all here the
emergencc Of revolutionary workinf
class movements onto the political
field until now occupied by question;
Ct nationalism.
LarEin won by big majority his
seat as a deputy in the district Of
North Dublin. He is the first Com
lnunist to ever sit in the Irish par
Lament.
Slowly Count Votes.
The Irish election count precedes
slowly but indicates that the govern
ment parties are not increasing their
strength very much, as the Cosgrave
politicians hoped would be the re-
suit Of the voting. Considerable bar
gaining has to go on between the
minor parties, several of which have
votes enough to throw the govern
ment out or keep it in power.
The government and the De Valera
groups are both gaining at the ex-
pense of Farmers, Independents, Ma
tional League, ETC., and are about
equal in strength.
Thomas Johnson was defeated in the
County Dublin election. Cosgrave
won in Cork City and Carlow. In
Dublin P. F. Baxter, Farmers Party
leader lost his seat.

The Battle of Theories.

Radio is filed with minor warfares
regarding theories, circuits and the
various other features of set construc-
ton. It is well to know that some of
these trade battles exist. for through
them the radioist comes to know more
about his own set.
One of the current topics of conten.
ton is the question as to which is
preferable-major amplification in the
radio frequency stages or in the audio
frequency stages. Some of the design
ers feel that the proper place for the
major amplification of the incoming
signals Ii in the radio frequency stages
before the detector stage is reached.
Not so much is advanced in favor of
application at radio frequency, but
rather this plan is favored by it's ad-
vocates because it avoids certain diff
culties in audio application, such as
distortion and some of the peculiarities
which come with power amplification.
But there is another side to the ques.
tion
Let us consider the views of the ad.
vocates Of audio frequency amplifica-
ton as the major factor in bringing
the weak radio signals back into light.
Here one finds similar reasoning, al
though, of course, from the other angle.
Advocates of this system do not claim
perfection of audio application but
rather emphasize the defects in radio
application. They maintain that if
there Is too high an amplification in
the radio frequency stages, there will

WILL OPEN CHICAGO
HEADQUARTERS SOON
National Broadcasting Co. to Move
Into New Quarters Novem-
Der /, Says Aylesworth.

Headquarters of the National Broad
casting Co. are to be opened in Chicago
about November l. according to an
announcement yesterday by Merlin
Hail Aylesworth, president OF the
company.
Last May Mr.. Aylesworth made
known the fact that the company
would establish headquarters In
Chicago in the Fall but at that time
did not set a definite date. Engineers
have bee.i at work during the entire
Summer building and equipplng the
company's new studios, which, with
its general Chicago offices, are located
in the Lake Michigan Building, at $50
North Michigan avenue. This build
ing is generally considered to be
strategically located for the operation
of broadcast studios and business
offices, being in the very heart or
Chicago'S SkyScraper section.
The company will not operate
station OF its own in Chicago, Mr..
Aylesworth pointed out, but will serve
programs, however, to four Chicago
stations, KYW, WEBB, WGN and
WLIB. Radio presentations for dis
semiuation to the entire United States
are being prepared, and, when ready,
will place Chicago in the same posi-
ton with New York as point OF
origin for national radio broadcasts.
In addition to the contemplated fea-
ture programs, regular broadcasts
will be given from the Chicago studios
each night and sent over that part or
, the National Broadcasting Co.'S net
works, which cover the Central time
zone. These programs will follow
those originating in New York, which
necessarily end earlier because of the
time difference.

Canada's total trade for the year end

an increase Of $17,000,000 over the

Importation of alcoholic beverages
increased from $26,00000O to $35,.

At least. this is the optimistic proph'

And yet the end OF program variety
in broadcastin2 is far from being in
sight. TO the technique of wireless
transmission has been added the tech,
niuue of personal communications. 1t
is not impossible that in time we shall
learn that most things communicable
through the eye can be adapted for
communication through the ear.
In the meantime, the many and
varied interests which have tried and
tested the value of this new form of
personal communication in shaping
