MURDER $500
SERB WORKERS

BUDAPEST, May 2.--The stag
gering toll of victims which the
Jugo-Slav government has taken
among its oppressed workers from
the end of the world war to date has
been published by the Workers and
peasants paper "Borba."
The figures, which had been sup
pressed BY the censor, reveal total
of $500 open or secret political muir
ders, including that of the 10 Mace
domains condemned to death at
Slip for nationalist activities.
Thirty thousand political prisoners
were sent to jail during this period
and at least 5000 men and women
had to flee the country.
A special table Of prosecutions for
the year 1927, published by the same
paper, shows that GA CroatianS and
Slavonians were arrested during the
year, $50 Serbians, 5000 Macedon-
ians, 400 Dalmatians, 70 Bosnians,
200 Montenegrans, So Slovenians
and 143 Vojvodinians.

SWING TO LEFT
IN FRENCH POLL.
Blum, Socialist Leader
Beaten by Communist

PARIS, May 2..-Altho the num-
Der of Communist candidates elect
ed to the Chamber of Deputies was
limited by the electoral laws di-
rected against it and by the social
ist-bourgeois coalition on the sec
ond ballot, the number of votes
polled by the French Communist
Party revealed decisive swing to
the left on the part of the French
working class. At least fourteen
Communists were elected to the
chamber of deputies in yesterdays
elections, the results of which are
yet incomplete. -
Leon Blum, leader of the socialist
party, was decisively defeated by
the Communist Duclos, who has been
sentenced to jail for opposing the
French war in The Riff.
The number Of Communists
elected to the chamber was kept
down by the decision of the socialist
party not to vote for Communist
candidates even when socialists were
out Of the running. The socialist
party leaders tacitly supported radi-
cal candidates rather than support
Communists.

Workers Demand Bella
Kun's Release

BUDAPEST, May 1.-The Hun
gatian Government has applied for
the extradition of Bella Kun, Hungarian
Communist leader, who was recently
imprisoned in Vienna, it was learned
today. The application for extradition
is allegedly based on treaty of re-
ciprocity between Austria and Hun
gary.
Bella Kun was head of the Hun
garian Soviet Republic in 1919, which
was overthrown with the aid of
Herbert Hoover who was then in
charge of American "relief."

the Austrian Government will yield to
the Hungarian Governments demand
for the etxradition of Bella Kun, Hun
garian Communist leader, is yet I'M

drifted steadily to the right and has
maintained most friendly relations
with the Horthy government.
Thousands of Viennese workers
yesterday demanded the immediate
release of Bella Kun at large May
Day demonstration held in the city.
Shouting "Bela Kun must be freed"
the workers marched to the prison
gates where they demonstrated until
driven away by the police. A number

BRITISH TORIES
THREATEN EGYPT
IN new MESSAGE
Force Withdrawal of
Assemblies Bill

LONDON, May 2.-The British
government has sent a new note to
the Egyptian government warning it
that the reintroduction of the public
assemblies bill will evoke immediate
intervention, Sir Austen Chamberlain,
foreign secretary, announced in the
House of Commons today.
Threatening intervention if a meas
ure is passed prohibiting police from
breaking up meetings the note de-
clares:
"His Majesty's government observes.
however, that the intentions of the
Egyptian government regarding the
future of this bill is not explicitly
stated in Your Excellency's note. IN
der these circumstances they think it
well to make it clear in terms which
do not admit of misinterpretation
that they regard certain provisions
of the bill as calculated certainly to
weaken the hands Of the administra-
ton of authorities responsible for
the maintenance of order and the
protection of foreign lives and prop
erty.
IF, therefore, the measure in ques-
ton were to be revived or if other
measures were introduced which in
their view presented similar danger
Gus possibilities, His Majesty's gov
eminent would again be obliged to
intervene as in the present instance
to prevent enactment"
LONDON, May I'm spite of the
"conciliatory" reply to the British
ultimatum by Premier Nahas .Pasha,
a section of the Cabinet is urging inn
mediate military action against
Egypt.
It is useless to delay action, Lord
Birkenhead, Secretary for India de-
clared. "Never can country with i'm
perial responsibilities, with obliga-
tions to other nations and the vital
necessity Of maintaining communica-
lions agree to legislation hke-this,
and never, in my opinion, will this
country under any government so
agree"
The note despatched by Nahas
Pasha, Egyptian Premier, declared
that Egypt had done everything pos
sible by postponing the examination
of the Assemblies bill until the next
parliamentary session"
CAIRO, Egypt, May. 2.-Dissatis-
faction is widespread among the
Egyptian masses over the govern
ment's refusal to take strong stand
against British aggression in demand
ing the stoppage of the Assemblies
Eli in the Egyptian chamber.
Exact contents Of the secret reply
which the Egyptian officials have
sent to the British government is still
unknown, but are understood to
recommend postponement of til e
Senate's action on the Assemblies bill
until the next session when, the hope
is expressed, that the British govern
nent may be able to review the situa-
ton sin a calmer spirit" The reply
is said to be couched in the most
subservient terms.
The opinion of the masses turnout
the country is that the government
should have maintained defiant at
titude or have given ground only in
the face Of overwhelming British ag-
erosion.
The decision of the Egyptian off
Gals is being widely spoken of as an
eleventh hour eapitulation and polit-
zeal surrender.
The Assemblies Bill forbids govern
ment interference in any public meet
ings except at the request of thS
meetings organizer.
