Encouraged by the support OF q
large body Of townspeople, Bolton
kasica post American Legion, is
taking initial steps towards calling
q special town meeting at which
the proposed fire protection pro-
gram will be considered. 4 petition
for the summoning of the town
meeting is being drafted and will
be presented to the town officials
upon the completion Of the neces-
sary list of voters.
In answering the letter signed by
"a Taxpayer" which was received
Friday, and which asked that Sc
rious consideration be given the
matter before the town cut loose
from the efficiency OF the New
Britain fire department. Adolph
w. Schultz. chairman Of the Legion
committee which has had charge of
the Investigations. has written the
following letter:
In answer to "A Taxpayer.
&ould like to say that I am a tax

will be approximately 50 per cent
and I believe that 30 per cent of
the taxpayers in these districts will
save a considerable amount Of
money.
THE maintenance cost will not
Increase from year to year as was
stated in the letter. because the
figures quoted were the carrying
charges of the department. You
will notice that these figures allow

the question. If person should

TWO so-called gentlemen slipped
4 out recently quite unnoticed from
New York, Messrs. Mlynarski and
Krzyzanowski, members of a special
Polish financial mission that had
stayed here for about five weeks on
usual errand. AS is customary
with these missionaries, they 'denied
coming here for a loan" You see,
they have not gotten it yet, or to put
it differently, "the loan is likely
later"
For prior to obtaining loan the
Polish government must accept the
terms of a financial reorganization
worked out by the now notorious
American economic consulting doc
tor" Prof. Kemmerer of Princeton
University. The Polish government
has suggested certain modifica-
tions" in the Kemmerer program that
to all appearances led to greater
financial independence of the Polish
state and incidentally to broader pos
sibilities of graft and corruption on
the part of the Polish officials. So
or otherwise, the Polish missionaries
apparently have not been able to OBJ
tain the desired changes, for-to put
it in the Aesopian jargon of the
financial newspaper scribes-"all diff
ferences regarding details in the re-
port had been cleared up and the
Polish government would soon give
its approval in its entirety" A loan,
variously estimated as between $780,
100000 and $200,O00,000 would then
be it's reward.
Incidentally, a certain Mr.. Feitel-
berg is negotiating meanwhile with
Polish officials about "revaluation'
of some 5 per cent bonds, issued by
the city of Warsaw in 1921 and sold
to American investors. Mr.. Feitel-
berg represents 1000 out of 1000
American bondholders who paid fol
the bonds 100000 and would at the
"revaluation" offered by the city OF
Warsaw, be able to cash in on them
exactly one tenth of this sum, OF
100000. The bondholders propose a
somewhat less lucrative conversion.
TT was in the summer of 1926 that
the economic consulting doctor
worked out the plans for "reorganiz.
ing the finances" of Poland. His
recommendations" included even the
drafting of the laws necessary fol
the execution of the reforms, leaving
to the sovereign" Polish nation the
job of nodding the head and, Of
course, paying the expenses.
Since then Mr.. Kemmerer left fol

already in recognizing the finan

"China Today" Topic
At the Workers School
Forum Sunday Night

Samuel Sha, of the "Chinese
Workers Alliance" will lecture at
the Workers School Forum, 108 East
18th Street, this Sunday night (April
10), on the interesting problem
which has been so much discussed
in the press of the entire world dur
ing the past week, namely, the prob
lem of The Inner Situation of the
Kuomintang Party of China. The
relationship between Communists and
non-C Communists, between workers,
peasants, students, merchants, manu-
facturers and all the other complica-
ted class problems which constitute
the inner politics Of the Kuomin-
tang, will be taken up as well as the
relationship between the political
Bureau Of the Kuomintang and the
military staff Of the Peoples Ma
tional Army. The General title Of
Mr.. Sha's lecture is "What is Lap
pening in China?"
His lecture will be followed next
Sunday night, April II, by a lecture
by Jay Lovestone, Acting General
Secretary Of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party, on America and the
Next War;" and on Sunday, April
"a, Joseph Freeman, proletarian

Bolivia "to aid the economic struc-
ture" of that country. Prior to that
he reorganized the finances of Chile,
Columbia, Guatemala, Philippines
and other colonial and semi-colonial
countries. 1t is but logical that he
should have also participated in
drafting the Dawes plan for Ger
many.
The secret of the financial reor-
ganization," mapped out by this
agent of American Imperialism is
rather Simple. Balance the budget,
stabilize your currency on gold

S., bind your exchange preferably
to the dollar, accept the control of
your financial political as well) af-
fairs by special (American) "finan-
cial advisers" and you may expect a
flow of American dollars ito build
up the country" and incidentally also
hordes of American promoters and
spectators to "get the gravy"
TT is a somewhat remarkable coin
1 cidence that just at present these
are the fascist and reactionary coun-
tries that are on the list for getting
American dough. Next to Poland
that is right now busy suppressing
her agrarian unrest by breaking up
peasant organizations and failing
their leaders in spite Of their sup
posed parliamentarian immunity, it
is Italy that is to get more than
$100,000,000 in various municipal and
industrial loans. Then comes Brazil
and Peru, both countries whose gov
ernments excel in suppressing their
labor movements and maintain them
selves by sheer use of force. The
role of American finance in safe
guarding democracy" by keeping in
the saddle the most abominable sup
pressors of the popular masses is
daily becoming more grateful.

Reaction Must
Not Crush The
Daily Worker

For three years The DAILY WORKER
has raised aloft the banner of militant OppO-
sition to American imperialism For three
years it has been in the forefront of the
struggle for progressive trade unionism and
for the organization of the unOrganized. For
three years it has maintained sharp criti-
cism of the institutions of American capital
ism. COmrade Ruthenberg devoted himself
unsparingly to the establishment and the
strengthening of this weapon. And now re-
action seeks to crush our paper.
The efforts of the National Security
League, the American Patriotic Society. the
Bomb Squad, and the District Attorney to
crush The DAILY WORKER must not sue
coed. The DAILY WORKER means too
much to the working class, for us to permit
it to succumb under the iron heel of capital
ism. The Ruthenberg DAILY WORKER
Sustaining Fund has been launched to build
a better and stronger DAILY WORKER.
In the midst of this campaign we have been
made the target of a vicious and powerful
attack. We will utilize the resources OBJ
tanned to fight against this attack. With the
funds obtained we will not only repel these
attacks but we will mobilize even greater
