Walker on his return from France
on the lie de France denied that he
had ever been in Roman cabaret
and told reporters: 81 had only vis-
tied a single night club all the time
that l was away. That was jose
phine Bakers place in Paris.
Objected To Negroes.
Altho Bragaglia's cable attempted
to whitewash Walkers conduct, it
definitely declared that Walker had
both been in the Cabaret Bragaglia
and had objected to two Brazilian
Creoles dancing with white girls.
The text of Bragaglia's cable follows
in full.
"I'm glad to have the chance to
state the facts. Mayor Walker, see
ing two dark men dancing here, told
me he was surprised I allowed them
to dance with white women. re-
piled the reason was that I am
Catholic and the Catholic Church not
only recognized black people as
brethren in Christ but the Pope Gre
ates Negro bishops.
Forced To Stop Dancing.
"But since Mayor Walker was my
distinguished guest that evening,
asked the Brazilians in question not
to dance. They Were very indignant
and explained they were not Negroes
but Creoles, and, moreover, French
citizens, although Brazilian born,
and artists. They were members of
a French troupe then residing in
Rome, they said.
II told this to Mayor Walker and
he accepted the explanation. | also
asked a friend of mine to tell the
Brazilians not to dance any more be-
cause I didn't want any fuss. They
left off dancing. Mayor Walker did
not leave my place before everything
was over, and never even threatened
to do so"

Church Helps Fascism.
The Roman Catholic priests are
lined up in support of the fascists.
In the Bronx the leader of the fascist
movement is Father Cafuzzi of the
Church of Mount Carmel. AS most
of the police of New York are also
Catholics, the priests use their reli-
gious influence to line UP every sta
ton house in the city on the side of
fascism. The same method is used to
gain the support of the local Tam
many Hall politicians. Thru their
connections with the Catholic church
and the police, almost every local
democratic leader is giving aid and
comfort to the agents of Mussolini in
New York City.
The Courts Also.
Whenever an anti-fascist is brot
into court, as in the case of Carlo
Tresca, who was arrested in the
Bronx in March, 1927, the politicians
and the priests are lined up against
the enemies of Mussolini. In the case
of Tresca, who was arrested on the
charges Of fascist agent, the prin-
cipal witness against him was Ro-
man Catholic priest. The priest held
secret conferences with the Judge
during the trial, even speaking pri-
vately to him when he was sitting on
the bench.
Meet In Church.
All branches of the Fascist League
Of North America either meet in or
near Catholic church. In Brooklyn,
Passaic and Paterson the meetings
are held in the church. Whenever a
new branch is organized the first
meeting is held in church, the open
ing speech being delivered by the
priest.
In addition to lining up the police,
the courts and the church, another
ally of the fascists are the blackhands
who are today working under the di-
rections of the fascists in this coun-
try.
Tomorrow The DAILY WORKER
will describe the fascist attempt to
murder the speakers and the audience
at an open air meeting arranged by
the Anti-Fascist Alliance on Septem-
Der II, 1926.

REUNITED

BY International News Service
WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Ohio, June 15.--After searching fol
each other over a period Of SO
years, a father and daughter have
been reunited In this little Ohio
town.
When the father, Silas ]. Paul,
was divorced from his wife in 1877,
the couples little daughter Jennie,
Is months old, went with the
mother. Later, reports reached the
father that Jennie had passed away.
For a time, Paul discredited the
reports, owing to their grape
vine" nature, but finally he gave
her up for dead, when no trace
could be found.
The daughter. now the wife of
Charles Rothenberger, Fostoria,
Ohio, also believed her dad" had
passed away.
About one month ago, a family
from Washington Court House
moved into a house near the Roth
enberger home In Fostoria. Short
~ afterward, Mrs. Rothenberger
learned from this neighbor that her
father was still alive and living
here. The daughter and her hus,
band made a hurried trip to the
Paul home here and found the
father, quite aged, but in good
health.
Although Mrs. Rothenberger Il
now nearly So years old, she q
still ''babyh to her father.
az never expected to see yoI
again on this EARTH" the old mar
exclaimed joyously. tears streaming
down his cheeks.

OPPOSES DEATH
PENALTY
By SIR BASIL THOMSON.

BY SIR BASIL THOMSON,
X. G. B.
Formerly head Of Scotland Yard
and Chief Commissioners Of POlice)
Written Specially for international
News Service and London
Daily News.
LONDON, June 15.-The question
Of maintaining capital punishment
for wilful murder ought 10 be con-
sidered not in terms Of religious or
humanitarian sentiment, but from
the practical standpoint whether
murders would increase II murder
ers were sent to penal servitude for
life.
1t Is very interesting to read
the arguments of those who were
opposed to the abolition Of capital
punishment for all felonies, except
murder, 100 years ago. There
would be, they said, an enormous
increase in felonies, just as those
who advocates the 'slextalionis'' for
murderers are saying today.
Pr, phets All Wrong
Like all thes prophets, they
were wrong, and IL we may judge
from the qualification Of every
prediction on social changes in the
past. the abolition Of capital pun
ishment In this country would not
be followed by the smallest increase
in the number of murders. For II
Is not the severity Of punishment
which counts with criminals. but
It's certainty.
When RomiIly said that the Eng.
Ish criminal law was written in
letters Of blood, the police were In.
efficient; and there was more than
q sporting chance that q man
might spend lifetime In commit
ting crimes without being found
out.
Even while the death penalty for
theft was still in force its incidence
was uncertain, for looking through
Assize calendars Of the early nine.
teenth century we find an increas.
ing number of death sentences
committed to transportation, until,
by the year 1920, the execution Of a
condemned man was the exception
rather than the rule. The object
aimed at in those days was to ter
rorize people into good behaviour.
Effect OF Severity
II is only when crimes far ex-
coed the number OF arrests that one
finds sentences becoming increas
ingly severe. Their very servity
may err in the wrong direction
The human animal Is so curiously
constituted that the idle, dashing
youths who took to highway rob
berry actually enjoyed the adula
ton Of the mob as they were being
driven to Tyburn, and in that thea
trical intoxication seemed to forget
what they were to suffer.
