ONLY another parley! This is about
" the only comment worth making
on the arms parley which opened yes
terday in Geneva on the initiative of
the United States. London papers
have given bare total of six columns
to the parley and the admiralty is
decidedly opposed to reducing the
number Of cruisers considered neces-
sary to defend the imperial trade
routes from the rest of the "civilized"
world. Out Of sense Of politeness
the British and Japanese governments
may send delegates but they will hold
on to their daggers.
THE recent meeting Of the council
Of the league of nations dispersed
without having accomplished any
thing more important than proving
what devil of time group of
bandits have in getting along to-
gether. Chamberlain came, primed to
organize united front against the
Soviet Union. The other bandit rep
resentatives were willing, but each
one had different motive and they
could not come to terms. This time
will not be the last and they will
try again. In the meantime the u. S.
S. R. will be gaining strength and
the workers of the workers in mill
fancy.
THE Monte Carlo casino is almost
as good a paying proposition as
an American oil well. The report for
the fiscal year ending March 1926
shows an income of 100000 gold
marks with net profit of 100000
marks. The comparison with an
American oil company is not so good.
We will take an insurance company.
The oil companies take a chance
sometimes and always lay out some
dough on development but the insur-
ance companies like the gambling
joint, invest nothing and take no
chances.
THAT it makes no difference how
one gets the money, provided he
manages to dodge the hangman in
getting it, is proven by the high es-
TEEN in which Basil Zaharoff, the
.multi-millionaire Greek, is held
among the chancellories of Europe.
Zaharoff made most of his money
running gambling den in Monte
Carlo. During the war he helped out
the British and was honored by the
British government He was also be-
hind various Greek revolutions in the
interest of the British government.
ut is interesting to observe" com
ments a Monaco correspondent of the
New York Herald Tribune chat
number of shares of stock are owned
by religious organizations" And so
it is but not surprising.
THE "duce"-this is what the black
shirt dictator of Italy calls him
self-has provided the unfortunate
people of that country with another
weekly sensation. He has issued a de-
cree reducing rents. His famous
Charter of labor" was at the ex-
pense of the workers and according
to reliable information its promulga-
ton was followed by strikes and by
armed uprisings in several parts of
Italy. If there is anything to Mus
solini's latest move, it is merely an
effort to placate the masses. Benito
is sitting on volcano. After all, a
minority cannot forever hold the ma
jority in check even by means of vio-
lence when the policy of the minor
ity is detrimental to the interests of
the majority.

Communist Youth to
Discuss War Threat
At PIenary Session

MOSCOW, June 20.-The struggle
against the danger of war and work
in the trade unions are the principal
items in the program of the ordinary
plenary session of the executive com
mittee of the Communist Youth In
ternational which opened here.
Many mass meetings are being held
in Leningrad, to protest against the
sentence of the Polish tribunal on
Voikoff's murderer.
A special paper will be issued on
Monday by the Federation of Soviet
Writers dealing with the threat of an
imperialist war against the Soviet
Union. Numerous distinguished for
eign authors have sent cablegrams

PICKETINC WINS
Gigantic Meetings Hear
Of Fake Convention

The Importance of a strong picket
line as means of victory, was EN-
phasized by every speaker at two
large enthusiastic strike meetings of
furriers held last night at Cooper
Union and Webster Hall.
When Ben Gold, who had just been
released from Jail after his arrest on
the picket line in the morning, mount
ed the platform at Cooper Union the
assembled workers cheered themselves
hoarse for over ten minutes. Hats,
newspapers and everything else avail
able were thrown into the air as a
meags of showing thN feeling of the
audience.
Foxes Fun at Rights.
Gold described the Washington
Convention" in humorous fashion.
He mentioned that Oizer Schachtman
the retiring president of the Interna-
tional felt very proud as he sat be-
tween William Green and Matthew
Vol on the convention platform.
Gold told the eager listeners of a
conversation he had with Green in
Washington at which Green told Of
his opposition to mass picketing.

CONFLICTS RISE
between POWERS
AT Geneva MEET
United States Resents
British Demands

GENEVA, June 20.-The confer
ence for reduction of naval arma-
ments opened here today with rep
resentatives of three countries, the
United States, England and Japan
as regular delegates, while France
had an observer and Italy had ere
porter" to inform the fascist muir
derer, Mussolini, Of the diplomatic
maneuvers carried on openly and
covertly.
At the first session the antagon-
isms between the three powers flared
forth, proving that the struggle in
the Pacific for control of China and
the Far East, determines their pol
icies.
Extend Washington Program.
Hugh Gibson, chief of the Ameri-
can delegation, proposed that the
ratio agreed upon at the Washington
conference of 1922 be extended to
cover all remaining classes of naval
craft. That ratio was 5-5-3--equal
forces for the United States and
three-fifths strength for Japan.
Following the cheap propaganda of
the Coolidge administration which
puts forth a crude pacifism as a
cloak for its imperialist plundering
and its preparations for new wars,
Gibson INDUCED in a great deal of
twaddle about peace, elimination OF

Britain Opposes Plan.
The spokesman for Great Britain,
the Hon. w. C, Bridgeman, first lord
of the admiralty in the tory cabinet
of forgery, murder and provocation,
proposed reduction of the tonnage of
ships to 1900 so that the maximum
cruising radius from a naval base
would be 1000 miles. This is favor
able to Britain because she has a
worldwide chain of naval bases and
the greatest distance that separates
any two of them is 1000 miles, while
the closest United States base to
Japan is 3,400 miles distance.
Japan Has Own Program
Admiral Viscount Saito, represent
ing the new Tanaka cabinet of Japan,
which favors the revival Of the Anglo
Japanese Alliance, scrapped at the
Washington conference, opposes the
of the 5-5-3 ratio to
vessels and if the United
States presses such a proposal in the
tri-parite naval conference Japan
will reserve the right to raise the
question of naval bases, and will par
suggest restrictions regard
ing the bases at Hawaii, it was
learned today. Saito declared that
the extension of the 5-5-3 ratio to
other craft was dangerous. "Such
radical departure from existing condi-
tions as may be calculated to shake
the foundations on which nations
sense Of security rests should be care
fully avoided" declared Saito.

ness Of the Japanese delegation

|. R. 7. PURCHASE
BY CITY Seen AS
BIG PROFIT DEAL
Scheme Delights Wall
st. and Tammany Hall

Samuel Untermyer's investigations
of the traction situation has finally
eliminated in a concrete plan by
which the city is to purchase a con-
trolling interest in the Interborough
Rapid Transit and Brooklyn-M anhat-
tan Transit companies.
The tentative plan, outlined by I'm
termyer to the Morgan and Rookie
Teller interests, and concurred in by
members Of the Transit Commission
and the Board of Transportation, pro-
vides for acquisition of the /. r. It's
property for a comparatively small
amount Of cash and the exchange Of
city bonds for bonds Of the company
Some Neat Profits.
The scheme as described by the
famous corporation lawyer includes
the purchase Of the stock of the |.
R. T. at about 80, which would in
volve a payment of S10,000,00o.
BY a curious admission of members
of the transit commission this figure
is considerably higher than was paid
by officers Of the BIN. T. when they
began to purchase /. r. 7. stock.
Big Guns Consulted.
The negotiations have gone beyond
the stage of conference" it being
admitted that Untermyer has already
discussed the plan with members Of
]. p. Morgan's firm representing the
PETERBOROUGH bondholders, and with
the Rockefeller interests, which have
heavy holdings in the Manhattan Rail-
way Company, the elevated lines Of
which the Interborough operates I'M
der lease.
1t is thus easy to see why the So
called "unification plan" has evoked
such unanimous enthusiasm in Wall
Street and City Hall.

AMERICAN FLUTES
PLANNED TO KILL
SOVIET LEADERS
Made Especial Effort to
Murder Krassin

MOSCOW, June 20.-Eight to ten
thousand francs was the price paid in
advance to white guards by the imper-
ialist bank, oil and industrial mag
mates for the murder of well-known
leaders of the Soviet Union, says an
Izvestia editorial commenting on con-
fessions made by captured spies.
Particularly strenuous efforts were
made to assassinate M. Krassin by the
British Secret Service, Anglo-Ameri-
can business men and the Noble Com
pany, the editorial says.
Referring to the howl of ''indigna-
ton" that the capitalist press has
raised over the execution of the
twenty white guards, the Izvestia
says, "Had not the signal been given
for new series of terrorist acts,
many Of the twenty executed white
guardists would now be alive. Work.
ers and peasants would have forgotten
their great revolutionary responsible
ties if they had not answered by a
straight blow to these cowardly at
tacks from behind"
The Izvestia continues:
"The workers and peasants have
given terrible lesson to the capital
list world by proving that the big
stick is not always in the hands of
one class.
Points TO White Terror.
Answering charges of the hypo-
critical British press that the execu-
tion of the twenty White Guards was
"barbaric," Pravda points out that in
the first ten months of 1925, $50
Communists were killed and almost
$4,000 imprisoned in Bulgaria; that
in the United States during the first
six months Of 1926, forty-two work.
ers were killed by the ruling class,
500 wounded and 2,07S imprisoned.
In Lithuania, the Pravda says, Com
munists and Communist sympathizers
are subjected to electric torture.

Feng Prepares for New
Advance on Peking

SHANGHAI, June 20.-Armed re-
volts against the right wing are i'm
minent in Canton according to re-
ports received here. Workers and
peasants in Kwantung Province are
to be arming themselves to
take over the government Of the prov
ince and end the right wing reign of
terror.
A worker was killed by the police
when the right wing authorities at
tempted to break up huge protest
meeting against the Chang Kali
sheks terrorism. Following the muir
der of the worker, thousands of DEM
constructors proceeded to the govern
ment offices and demanded the i'm
mediate punishment Of the murder
ers.
Reports received here from Canton
several days ago stated that two
regiments have revolted against Chi
ang Kai-shek in Fukien Province and
had declared their allegiance to the
Hankow government. Other dis
patches received here report armed
revolts against Chang Kai-shek thru
out the southern provinces. Chiang's
fall according to these reports seems
to be imminent.

will offset the loss many fold.
From the standpoint Of dollars and
cents the importance of the work that
is being done can be realized when 1T
is considered that around 1O,OOO,0O0
beef cattle are slaughtered under
federal inspection each year. For
merly per cent of these animals
were condemned, representing 2OO,-
600 head. and figuring the average
value of these animals even at $50,
which is low estimate, $10,000,0OO.-
90 would represent the loss. Reduc-
ing these cOndemnations by half, as
has been done, a clear $4,000, 100000
annual saving to the industry in con-
demnations alone is made, not consid-
ering the ecoomic loss of maintaining
infected herds with the accompany
ing hazards to consumers of meat
food and dairy products as well as
endangering Of other classes Of live
stock through infection.

the Opera house, which was hand

there being a large attendance of in

Recent figures indicate that splen- |
did progress is being made through |
various federal, state and county
agencies in the work which is being
done toward eradication of tubercu-
losis among cattle.
At the close of the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1926, nearly half of
the breeding cattle Of the United
States had been tested for tubercu-
losis and nearly 100000 reactors
had been removed from the herds
throughout the country.
The effect of the work being done
along this line from an economic
standpoint can we'll be appreciated in
viewing the figures of 1916 and 1926.
In 1916 &c per cent. of all cattle re-
ceived at the large packing centers
were retained on account of showing
traces of tuberculosis, while in 1926
only 1.3 per cent were so retained.
From this it can be seen that reten-
tions on account of tuberculosis have
been reduced so per cent in the past
10 years.
Of course, from a standpoint of
public welfare and sanitation the

From an economic standpoint it i
difficult to estimate what tubercu

the figures would be staggering no

but through transmission of the dis
