KELLOGG TELLS
REED PACTS DO
NOT AID LATINS
Committee Is Assured
Monroe Doctrine

Anti-Strike Mine Bill
Seante Subcommittee
Has Lewis Scheme

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Secre-
tary of State Kellogg today ap-
peared before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee to advocate
his series of treaties with 50 gov
ernments, called the kellogg Anti
War Pact" but which really estab-
lish q new league of nations in
which the United States government
has theological control and more
financial power, and which lead di-
rectly to war with the Soviet Union
and with England.
Though all but one of the mem
bers were present, only Senator
James Reed of Missouri questioned
Kellogg. The line of Reeds inqui-
sition showed that he was chiefly
concerned with the preservation of
the Monroe Doctrine and the avoid
ance of treaties that would bring
the U. S. government into a world
court. Kellogg insisted that his
treaties provided for these two
things. The discussion with Kel-
logg will be resumed Tuesday.

MAKE RULING TO
PREVENT CHANCE
OF NAVAL MEET
England Must Submit
Written Plan Say
u. S. War Lords
Peevish Over Exposure
Denounce Briton Who
Opposes Cruisers

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE
naval race between American i'm
perialism and British Imperialism is
proceeding according to schedule.
The state and naval department Of
ficials in interviews today told the
press that no requests for a naval
conference with Great Britain were
contemplated. 1t is evidently in
tended now to reap the reward from
Representative Britten's personal in
vitation to England to confer, which
was apparently deliberately in
tended to be rejected, because of the
violation of all diplomatic usage. 1t
is possible now for cabinet officials
to answer when criticized. "Look
we did appeal for a conference, and
England wouldn't agree"
Any British invitation to renew
discussion of the cruiser problem
would have to be accompanied or
quickly followed by written infor-
nation indicating the general out
line of prospective British proposals
if it were to obtain consideration
from this government, officials said.
The question was raised after in
timations at the state department
that an opportunity might develop
. within the next year for further
naval conversations between Britain
and the United States. Officials
would not commit themselves regard
ing the likelihood of the opportunity
actually developing into a confer
ence.
Intense resentment was regis
tered by officials of the state and
navy department over the speech of
Sir William Robertson yesterday to
the effect that the United States had
become an imperialist nation and
was following directly in the path
and methods of Imperial Germany
before 1914, building great navy
to attack England.
The official defense is that the
fifteen new cruisers, Congress will
provide in this session together with
half dozen now building will not
really make the navy larger. They
claim that older cruisers will be OBJ
solete by the time these are built.
They offer no guarantees that these
"obsolete" cruisers will actually be
scrapped, instead of being used any
way in the next war.
1t will not be until 1881 that the
next regular Washington conference
meets.

Greek Defense
Appealing for
Fifty Exiles

A protest from the Labor Defense
of Greece against the barbarous
exile of so workers, whose only
crime was that they were active in
the great tobacco strike around
Saloniki earlier this year, comes to
the international Labor Defense,
with a request to make it public.
The letter points out that the new
government in Greece freely par
dons the grafters of the old regime,
but continues the persecution of
class conscious workers. The Greek
Defense letter is as follows:
"The Central Committee of the
Labor Defense of Greece strongly
feels the necessity of protesting
against the prolonging of the SEN
tence of exile of so laborers and
peasants, whose only crime was
that they took active part in the
tobacco strike and in the organiz-
ing of the peasants.
No Pardon For Workers.
"The Venizelous government,
which only a little while ago par
doned Pangalos and all his follow
ers, who, besides their political
crimes, are guilty of prodigious en-
bezzlements, refuse to restore the
political exiles of the working and
peasant classes. On the contrary,

BERLIN, Dec. 7.-One may not

And if the person doing the laugh
ing happens to be a revolutionist,
it becomes major crime.
This is what George Grosz, fa-

brought by the organized soul
savers, as a result of a number of
recent cartoons which offended these

HARLEM FACTORY
WAS "HELL HOLE
Workers Shaved Over
II Hours a Day

With the debris completely cleared
away from the site which until
Thursday had been occupied by three
plants, the Kill All Disinfecting
Company, the Acme Furring Com
pany and junk shop, all of which
were destroyed by an explosion in
the first of the three buildings, the
total of casualties was definitely
known as three dead and ten injured.
The conditions in the wrecked
plants were investigated yesterday,
together with the work attendant
upon the rescue, with the result that
it was ascertained that the place
had been "hell hole" for L work
ers, and that the rsscue work had
been grossly mismanaged.
Police Hinder Rescue Work.
After the explosion occurred,
shortly after noon, and several bod
les had been recovered from the
smouldering ruins of the three
buildings, the shr;eks and groans
of the buried workers could be heard
by the rescue workers. Many of
these workers, recruited from the
neighborhood, wanted to rush to the
aid of the workers inside, but were
kept from doing so by the police,
who explained, little too carefully,
neighbors said, that the fumes would
frustrate any such attempts.
Trucks and ambulances and fire
engines were rushed to the spot i'm
mediately after the explosion was
reported, but so bungling were the
rescuers that late last night no trace
Of the three workers thought to be
buried under the debris had been
found.
