SIDE CREASED PANTS
FEATURED AT RACES

LONDON tR).-Side creased trousers
for some men and beige woolen stock
ings for most of the women were fea-
lures of the Cambridgeshire meet at
Newmarket, the last big event of the
season at the headquarters of racing.
Men and women alike wore beige.
A third of the men, it seemed, wore
plus fours, and all the women had furs
of one kind or another. Spotted calf
skin coats, too, struck a novel note.
The most prominent wearer of the
side creased trousers was the Hon.
George Lambton, author of "Men and
Horses Have Known" who is an
intimate friend of King George who
also wears his trousers creased on the
side, as did King Edward. The other
wearerS of the crease down the side
were also men who had taken an in
terest in racing when King Edward
was in his prime

Letter Indicates Judge
Himself SuggestedPlan
For Booze ProvOcateurs

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. R. Q.
Merrick, federal dry administrator,
today submitted to the house judiciary
committee letter he said ne received
from Federal Judge Frank Cooper,
Northern New York, in which the
judge himself suggested conference
to devise plan for entrapping boot
leggers.
The letter was filed upon demand
of Rep. La Guardia (R) Of New York,
who has brought impeachment
charges against Judge Cooper.
Merrick testified that in response
to that letter he called up Judge
Cooper, and laid before him a plan,
whereby federal agents masqueraded
as bootleggers and bought and sold
liquor from bootleggers. Later the
arrested "higher-ups" in the out
lawed traffic Merrick said Judge
Cooper approved the plan.

By HOWARD HARLAN

PALO ALTO, Feb. 27.-The Chi
nese of California are waking up to
the necessity of opposing American
Imperialism. Under the leadership of
some Chinese students at Stanford
University, a paper is published en-
titled the "Chinese Guide in Amer
ica." This past week an English sup
plement has commenced publication.
The object of the new paper, ac-
cording to it's editors, is to dissemin-
ate knowledge concerning the nation
aist movement in China. They urge
all groups to unite their forces to
prevent the Intervention of Wall
Street in Chinese affairs. They in
tend to stimulate a friendly and CO.
operative feeling between the Chinese
and American workers.
In his opening statement to the
public the editor explains that there
is no paper in America, with the ex-
ception Of The DAILY WORKER,
that prints the news concerning the
Chinese crises in a favorable and in
telligent way, so that the new Eng
fish supplement of the Chinese Guide
must be utilized to supply the def
cheney and present to English read
ers an expression of Chinese expe-
rience, aims and aspirations.

Government Operation
Of Shipping Board Not
A Loss, Says Senator

WASHINGTON (FP). ~ Govern
ment operation of the Shipping
Board mercantile fleet has been emil
nently successful, and has contributed
powerfully to the industrial prosper
ity Of the nation, Sen. Fletcher Of
Florida told the. senate in reviewing
the needs of the fleet for new con-
struction and a permanent policy of
public ownership and operation on all
the seas.
There is evidence Of the success of
the Panama Railroad steamships, and
of the fleet operated by the Canadian
National Railways. The loss from
operation in 1926, Fletcher said, was
fifty times less than the benefit to
American commerce. In fact, many
of our commodities, surplus products,
could not have been moved to market
at all in these times of peace if the
government had not owned this re-
serve fleet which we were able to put
into service and carry to foreign
markets our wheat, corn, cotton and

Wants Passenger Liners.
His recommendation was that con-
gress declare Efixed and permanent
policy of public ownership and OPP
Grafton, not only of freight cargo
vessels on many trade routes, includ-
ing refrigerator ships for the perish
able fruit trade, but should operate
passenger lines on the Atlantic.
Fletcher bitterly condemned the
shipping boards action in selling for
100000 a ship on which the govern
ment had spent over $2,04O,O00 in re-
conditioning and furnishing since the
war. He instanced another sale of
$40D00,000 worth Of ships for $4,-
100000 These sales, he thought,
came "almost within the criminal
law"

PARIS, Feb. 27.-Diplomatic circles

Monsignor Maglione, the Papal Nun.

They talked for more than an hour

CHINESE, LATINS, HINDUS, In CALIFORNIA
HELP EACH OTHER In FIGHT ON IMPERIALISM

other national groups in California
are beginning to assert themselves
openly in respect to the recent activi-
ties of American imperialism. The
local representatives of the Mexican
Government have addressed political
gatherings and taken part in public
debates in order to make clear the
motives behind the recent attitude of
the American Government to our
Southern neighbour.
The Hindustan Gadar Party, the
nationalist party of India, has recent
ly passed resolutions, copies of which
were sent to all our local papers,
sympathizing with the Chinese in
their attempt to establish national
sovereignty in their own country and
calling upon the Indian people, both
ct home and abroad, to lend every
possible assistance to their neighbors
in China in their efforts to elimin-
ate the concessions and extra-terri-
