1t is no accident that representative of
Hearst was chosen for this work. 1t is quite
evident that the state department of the
United States government, under Kellogg,
has a deliberate policy of using the thorough
ly vena lying, hypocritical and utterly I'M
scrupulous organs of William Randolph
Hearst and his mendacious crew of forgers
and bribers to carry out some of its policies.
This Paris incident recalls the notorious Mex
lean forgeries of last year, wherein the state
department assaults upon the Gales govern
ment and the Soviet Union were reinforced
by the publication in the Hearst papers of
series of forged documents purporting to re-
veal conspiracies against the United States.
At that time the Daily Worker proved by I'M
improbable documentary evidence that some
of the Hearst exposures" were forged right
here in New York City in the office of the
New York American. Later on, all documents
were proved to have been forged. Such are
some of the weapons in the arsenal of Amer
lean imperiaist diplomacy, of Coolidge
Hoover honesty.

1t was no mean task to get 10000
signatures to put the Party on the
ballot in Ohio. Fourteen Thousand
signatures were required, but the
District Executive Committee of the
Party decided that it would not rely
upon the exact number, but would
procure a surplus. This became
necessary, since the secretary of
state informed us that it would be
judicious to have the surplus.
At first the signatures came in
slowly. 1t is true some of the COM
rades went on the job without fur
ther ado, but, in the main, the mem
bers had not got into the swing.
More energy was necessa1y-an
alarm call went out, and, by August
Is, 1000 signatures were in. Two
weeks more to goa second alarm;
was the Party to fail to get on the
ballot fer a few thousand sigma
lures, or would the membership dig
in and put it across? The member
ship dug in, and, by August 29, 49,
coo signatures were ready for filing.
Cleveland, Youngstown, Toledo, Can
ton, East Liverpool and the coal
fields especially excelled.
$4,000 Signatures.
The next step-filing. This was
done by the campaign manager, c.
n. Shaffer, going to the state cap
tai, Columbus. He received a re-
ceipt for the 10000 signatures,
specifying the number of petitions
for the state and national ticket, the
number for the three U. S. congress
sional districts. Everything looked
rosy; the membership was pleased
the job had been completed. What
had not been done in 1924 had more
than been accomplished in 1928, and
we could go into the electora! cam
raign with full vim.
The atmosphere was clear, until
September 10, when the secretary
Of state informed the district of
flee that in all probability the en-
blem could not be put on the ticket;
q technicality. Negotiations were
entered into, and he promised to dc
everything possible to favor us, Civ
ing US the same consideration as the
other minority parties, the S. P. and
the S. L. P.
Upon his request, we sent hin
the emblem--and one more ster
forward was taken-the Party, the
name ard the emblem would appear
on the ballot.

A common method of chicane
against political prisoners is to re-

Wolfenbuttel (Brunswick) prison
has even found a pretext for refus-

Haberland. In reply to complaint,
the governor states that prisoners

twelve days after the final date for
filing, word came from the secre-
tary of state that the Party had
filed only 1000 signatures and
therefore would not go on the bal

headline: Communists Not to APP

happened to 10000 signatures?
Very strangely, these 10000 sig

THE Rev. DR.. George Reed An
drews, secretary of the Church
and Drama Association, is of the
opinion that if all the clergymen in
the city opened fired simultaneously
on given Sunday against immoral
plays and vile language, offensive
drama and profanity would be driven
into the speakeasies. This would
merely make matters worse. 1t
would exalt the bootlegging industry
to place in society from which not
even the most affluent booze mag
nate would care to elevate it.
If my memory serves me right,
(which it usually doesn't, there are
about half a million words in the
English vocabulary, in addition to
new, if rather incomprehensible ones
that are turned out daily in our COM
posing room. What a field for the
enterprising wordlegger! Hideaways
where words with profanity con-
tent of more than one half of one
per cent would be peddled for a
quarter a shot, would spring up like
histories of Tammany Hall since Al
Smiths nomination and our poor po-
licemen, already hard put to main
tain law and order since Gene Tun-
ny took to Shakespeare and the
Andy Carnegie library family, would
be at their witless end to enforce
the profanity provisions of the con-
stitution without running the risk
of being sued for false arrest.

Washington, April 14.--Now tina,
Ambassador Morrow and President
Gales have shown how easily our
oil row with Mexico might have been
adjusted in the first place, We may
learn soon the reason why It wasn't

that the air was cleared considerably

State Department to stop basing its
Mexican policy on forged documents,
but those forgeries were only . COM
plication which was dissipatsd COM

one else admitted that the wild docu-
ments he had published weren't

The real Hottentot in the wood
pile has been the question Of the
validity Of titles acquired by some
American oil men in Mexico.
That is supposed to account for
the attitude Of some oil interests
which caused the State Department
to talk stsrnly I'd eateningly to
Mexico and the attitude 81 others
who were willing 70 comply with the
Mexican oil laws.
It has often been CHARGED that
some Of the American oil concessions
in Mexico had been obtained fraud

upon by Morrow and Calles which
will enable the holders Of invalid
titles to retain property illegally &C.

the regulations are going to be re-

All indications are that with Mex

the State Department will not make
any desperate fights on behalf Of
oil interests whose fraudulent titles
are thrown out BY Mexican courts.
That, ct least, must have been the
Coolidge Morrow attitude. The new
oil regulations were not exactly Z

Of points which might
enable each nation to accuse the
other Of unfairness.
