France, Latvia, Portu-
gal Face Change

LONDON, Nov. 6 U.H.-The cab
inets of France, Latvia, and the
Union of South Africa resigned to-
day. The political situation in Ru-
mania is still unsettled since no sue
cessor to the government of Premier
Bratianu has yet been formed. Re-
ports from Lisbon by way of Ma
drid stated today that the Portu-
guese cabinet has split and is ex-
pected to resign shortly.

the event one bloc of his national
union cabinet resigned.
Latvia's cabinet resigned as a
matter of mere routine, since each
government resigns in Latvia when

Portuguese cabinet is expected after

ing has been approved.

(WuelesS to the Daily Worker)
BERLIN, Nov. 6.-The committee
of the National Union of German
Industrialists, the employers organ
ization, is contemplating . general
lockout of all German metal work /.
ers. The German nationslists, bead
ed by Hugenberg, urge this. The
industrialists are securing the help
of the international steel cartel to
deliver smashing blew at the Ger
man metal workers.
The workers indignation is ris-
ing, especially the unorganized, who
are receiving no relief from any
quarter.
Socialists" in Betrayal.
The Center Party is seeking
compromise i'll agreement with tire
yellow socialist trade union leaders
and the Vorwaerta, the socialists
organ. But such negotiations mean
that the employers kill nave a VIC
tory. The passivity Of The trade
union leaders and the help given by
the socialist government, which
pays no unemployed benefit, encour-
ages the employers to intensity
their attack.
The employers demand and are
receiving amateur technical aid from
the strikebreaking "OMS," or Order
for Maintenance of Supplies. The
mines are working part time. The
trade union bureaucrats have or
dered the workers to keep quiet"
but many demonstrations called by
the Communist Party and the revo-
lutionary trade union opposition ap-
prove the militant policies advocated
by the left wing.

ANTI BOLSHEVIK' LAW
STRICT IN COLOMBIA

The claw of social defense" sub
mitted to the Colombian parliament
several months ago for the purpose
of perpetuating the conservative
party in power against the increas-
ing influence of the liberal party
and the labor movement, was ac-
copied on October 80 by the senate,
approved by the president, and en-
tiers in force Immediately.
TIL law, generally referred to as
the "anti-bolshevik law" was the
cause of sharp debates and even
violence in the Colombian parlia-
ment where the liberal deputies
tried to prevent it's passage.
There were many protest strikes
thruout the whole country in which
the Communists, socialists and
anarchists were supported by the
liberal press. A few slight modifi-
cations were finally obtained by the
liberals.
The law, as finally enacted, for
bids the establishment of any socie-
ties (which like bolshevism and
Communism, spread ideas against
the state, encourage attempts
against the constitutional organiza-
ton or outrages against the catho-
lie religion and tend to relax dis
cipline within the army or police OF
to the destroy the home" "Socie-
ties attempting to organize strikes
outside the law" are included in this
law.
Newspapers which receive Sub
sides from abroad" will be prohi
bited and the editor jailed. All news
papers will have to deposit a largt
bond which is forfeited in case o.
infraction of the law.
| On the day of the PRONUNCIATION
of the law the port workers of Gira
dot, one of the principal ports oil
the Magdalena river, won all thei
demands for a considerable increase
of wages, after a strike which
lasted for several weeks.

FrancO-Italian Fight
i'm Mediterranean Is
Sharpened by Albania

BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Nov. 6.
The "Zagrsb Novosti" published
long article from its Tirana, AL
bania, correspondent today stating
that the present Italian influence on
Albanian foreign policy was being
replaced by Franco-British influ
ence.
Should this be the case, sharp
ening of the Franco-Italian conflict
on the Mediterranean is to be looked
for, it is generally believed.
Standje Mihailovitch, Jugoslav
ambassador to Albania, will depart
soon for Tirana, thus fully estab-
fishing normal relations between
the two governments, again con-
firming the growth of the Franco
British influence in the Mediterran-
can.

FASCIST COUP IN
PARAGUAY FAILS
Attempt to Seize Govt
by Force

The arrest of Eduardo Schaerer
former liberal" president OF
Paraguay, appears to have fruc-
trated an attempt to establish fas-
cist dictatorship in Paraguay, head
ed by Schaerer, owner and editor
of the independent liberal" daily.
LA Tribunal and leader of the
liberal opposition" against the
present liberal government. Schaerer
represents the most reactionary wing
of the liberals" opposed to the
cleft" wing of the liberals at pres
ent in power, whose leader was
Gondra, one-time president of the
republic.
According to the police during a
night when $50 generals and other
officers, loyal to the present govern
ment, were entertained at a ban
quet given to the retiring president,
several army filters assisted by a
part of the troops were to attack
the banquet and take possession OF
the government. The plot was dis.
covered and the aviators arrested.
Schaerer was arrested under the
accusation that he was the instiga.
tor of the plot. Schaerer has nc
support among the middle classes
or the workers. Only a part of the
army, the higher bourgeoisie anc
a part of the landowners would have
supported him in coalition with
the conservatives, who have less
than one-fourth of the seats in parli.
ament, which is dominated by the
Gondra faction.
In addition to the political accu.

CONGRESS- ACTS
Evert Loses Fight on
Party Majority

(Wireless to the Daily Worher)
BERLIN, Nov. 6.-The German
Communist Party yesterday held a
national conference of Party work
ers in the rooms of the Prussian
Diet, attended by $50 function
aries. The agenda was the deci-
sions of the Sixth World Congress
of the Communist International.
Thaelmann spoke on the political
Mnd inner Party situations, Lentz
on the Communist international
program, Heckert on trade union
questions and Remmele on the col
onial question. Evert was speak
er in the discussion.
Central Committee Plenum.
A few days previous, on Novem-
Der 2, the Central Committee of the
German Communist Party held a
plenary session at Berlin. One of
the points taken up was the Rhen-
ish- Westphalian lockout.
Thaelmann spoke on the results
of the Sixth World Congress, and
Upright on the inner Party situa-
ton. Evert represented a minority
and sought to justify his declinatory
attitude toward the Political Bur-
eau. A resolution was adopted ap-
proving the decisions of the Comm
tern congress.
Evert's speech was practically a
fighting platform against the ma
jority of the German Communist
Party and against the Sixth Con-
gress. The resolution approving
the execution of the Congress de-
cisions passed with 80 votes against
nine, the latter coming from the
right wing and the conciliating ele-
ments.

at the same time.
1t had been almost generally pre-
dicted that the conservatives would
be elected, because large number
of influential liberals are in exile
and because three-fourths of all
provincial governors were conserva-
tives and supporters of General
Carias.
The election was conducted under
the guns Of two United States war
ships which shortly beforehand ar
rived in the Gulf of Honduras.
Tools of Business.
The conservatives were accused
Of being tools of the Cuyamel Fruit
Company, which is pushing Hon.
duras to war against Guatemala for
territory which the Cuyamel
needs for easier and cheaper trans
portution of bananas, to enable them
to compete against the United Fruit
Company. AS the liberals of Hon
durcg are opposed to the Cuyamel,
it is probable that they were sup
ported by the United Fruit Com
|pany.

BRITISH CATER
TO PRINCES IN
india REFORMS
Simon Is Protected by
Barbed Wire

LAHORE, India, Nov. 6. - The
Simon Statutory Commission, ap-
pointed by the British government
to form a compromise with the more
conservative groups in the India
legislature on the form of govern
ment, met with native princes of
the India house of lords today.
The Hindu princes opposed any
reform which would continue COM
munal representation, and favored
"a strong centralized government, in
which the leading princes of every
province would have the upper
hand.
The Moslem deputation insisted
on the continuation of the electorate
as a means of insuring it's own in
terests as opposed to the Hindu up
per class. Both delegations did not
oppose the continuation of British
rule, since, as the past has proven,
that was the best means of pro-
tecting the provincial governments
against the peasantry.
The lower house of the legislature
was not represented, since it HAD
decided to boycott the Simon COM
mission, and not to cooperate with
it in apy form.
The meeting place was strongly
protected by police and barbed wire
entanglements to ward off pos
sible mass demonstration of protest.
The tour of Sir Simon was marked
by such demonstrations, despite po-
lice attacks on the demonstrators
and the order of the British govern
ment that no mass protest parades
or meetings be allowed.

THE next war will be chemists
war: war of poison gas. And
even now I doubt if one person in
ten thousand has even a hazy idea
of what that means.
1t was the fear of shortage of
nitrates, and so Of an explosive fam
inc, that drove the Germans in 1915
to the first effective use of poison
gas. Earlier experiments, from the
"stink pots" of the ancients and of
the Chinese down to the "turpinite'
used by the French in hand grenades
at the beginning of the war, had
not been very successful.
Inspiring Thought!
But to some ingenious German
mind came the inspiring thought of
chlorine gas.
In April, 1915, the Germans
launched their first gas attack on
the western front; it was very sue
cessful; the French line broke. In
a gas attack on the eastern front
1000 cossacks and their horses were
killed; on May 81, 1915, in another
attack on the Russians, 10000 cylin-
ders of poison gas were used, 5000
men were killed and 2,100 more
were severely gassed.
Despite their loud denunciations
Of this new method of warfare the
allies copied it as rapidly as they
could, and by 1918 the war, which
had started as an engineers war,
had been transformed largely. into
chemists war. New methods of
using poisons were introduced which
! enabled liquid and solid poisons to
be used, although the term poison
gas" was retained.
Life Impossible.
The poison gas war assumed i'm
mense proportions, and in some of
the battles of 1918 more poison gas
than explosive shells were used.
Towns were bombarded with
persistent gases which rendered
life in them impossible for days
or, in fine weather, even for
weeks.
The use of gas was loudly and
righteously denounced by the allies
at Versailles. At the Washington
Disarmament Conference in 1921 the
"High Contracting Parties" signed
a treaty prohibiting the use Of
chemical warfare.
Article 5 of the Washington
Treaty reads:
The use in war of asphyxiating,
poisonous, or other gases, and all
analogous liquids, materials, or
devices, having been justly con-
demned by the general opinion of
the civilized world, and a prohibit
ton of such having been declared
in treaties to which a majority of
the civilized powers are parties,
the signatory powers, to the end
that this prohibition shall be uni
versally accepted as part of in
ternational law, binding alike the
conscience and practice of ma
| lions. declare their assent to such
prohibition.
Renowned, But Grows.
But that pious declaration has
never been ratified, and all the sig
natories have gone cheerfully on
