FASCIST REGIME
IN The UNITED
STATES is Seen
Senator Makes Report
After Europe Visit

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is (FP)
Senator Elmer Thomas, democrat
of Oklahoma, on his return from
Europe, where he travelled over the
Soviet Union and took part in the
interparliamentary union sessions in
Berlin, declared his belief that
America is drifting toward a fascist
dictatorship.
This dictatorship, he said, would
be due to the concentration of a
large proportion of the national
wealth in the hands of few. 1t
would be based upon the model set
by Mussolini in Italy, but would ma
turaily develop social conditions like
those in czarist Russia. In turn, it
would force the people to overthrow
the dictatorship in much the same
way that the Russian people over
threw and destroyed their former
regime and old ruling class.
Visiting Italy last year, Senator
Thomas was impressed by the abb
solutism Of Mussolini's rule. This
year he went to Russia to see what
he now calls the opposite type - a
government run by and for the mas
ses. All other governments, he said,
are in the middle ground between
these two.

ATHENS, Greece, (By MaiD.-
Forty working class prisoners in the
Jail of Kawalla threatened to de-
clare a hunger strike unless a gem
eral amnesty was granted and the
exiled workers, deported because of
strike and anti-Venizelos activities,
were permitted to return, the mes
sage was sent to the Greek govern
ment. The telegram follows:
For over two months we 40
workers have been in prison. After
we had been beaten by the police
until we bled we were thrown into
jail where we have been forgotten.
The investigation draws itself out
and has not brought any results. The
investigation should be turned upon
the police officials who are respon-
sible for the incidents of the strike
for which we are charged.
1.-THE amnesty promises of the
government are soap bubbles and
contradict the growth of the white
terror Under such conditions the
voting cannot be designated as free
voting. We raise our protest against
it. We demand the immediate lib
Grafton of the prisoners, the return
OF the exiles and a general amnesty.
I'VE declare that we, in case that
our demands are not met, will de-
clare hunger strike, for which the
government will be responsible.
