END OF BRATIANU
REGIME Seen AS
LOAN PLANS FAIL
Rich Peasants Party
Meets Despite Terror

VIENNA, Jan. 31.-The fall of the
Vintila Bratianu government in Ru-
mania is seen as imminent owing to
the failure of the Liberals" to OBJ
tain an American loan ON any terms
but those virtually selling the country
to the Americans for an unlimited
period. Reports from Bucharest state
that there is great unrest turnout the
country and that the government is
taking many covert measures TO main-
tain itself in office at all costs.
The first convention of the Rumani-
an National Peasants Party, now in
session at Jassy despite the most
strenuous efforts Of the Bratianu
regime TO prevent it, is adding TO the
general unrest. The dissolution of the
present government and the calling
of a general election within a short
time are regarded as certainties I'M
less the Liberals" decide to abandon
constitutional measures and deter
mine to perpetuatc themselves IN
power by a coup.
Every effort was made by the gov
ernment's agents in the provinces to
prevent the departure of the delegates
for the National Peasants Party con-
vention. In some places the agents
told the peasants that the royal fam
lily intended to visit them the next
day, in other cases railroad tickets
We're refused to the delegates and
gendarmes were placed along the
roads to tell the peasants who at
tempted TO make the journey on foot
that the convention had been can
celled or to take more stringent meas
ures for restraint. Eight thousand
delegates are reported to have been
present at the convention, however.
The Jassy convention demanded the
dissolution of the present government,
sterilization of the currency and CO.

ties. A. Vaida-Voevod, formt- mem

head of the Standard Oil Company Of
New Jersey, which has been more fav-

than the New York Standard.
Altho Deterding has refused to an
nounce the purpose of his visit to
New York, the Standard Oil Company
of New York, it is understood, has
delayed the publication of new
statement attacking the Royal Shell.
The British interests, which failed to
secure what it considered favorable
terms on purchases of Soviet Union
oil, and which was heavily hit by the
contracts between the New York Stan
dard and the Soviet Union, has en-
tered into war with Standard Oil
in the Far East.
Deterding, head of the British in
terests, is notorious for his campaign
against the Soviet Union and is be-
lieved to be responsible, in part at
least, for the British break in diplo-
matte relations with the U. S. S. R.
(Deterding was also accused several
months ago of having subsidized an
international White Guardist forgery
plot to lower the value of Soviet cur
rency.

capital and labor" A. j. Cook, sec
'retary Of the British Miners Fedora
ton, in an interview with the Daily
Worker correspondent today said,
While the General Council was vast
ing precious time preparing to meet
Mond and his group, big at acks are
being made III the coalfields, in the
cotton trade, and wooden industry"
'As everyone knows" said Cook, Il
have consistently opposed the indus
trial peace conference because, under
capitalism peace is sheer delusion,
and can only mean humiliation and
defeat for the workers.
Il could feel the hypocrisy of the
Burlington House conference while
walking along Piccadilly to attend it.
ION every side was luxury, but in
the coalfields there is want and mis-
cry.
Inside the conference there were
represented many employers who have
been, and are still, the most embit-
tered enemies of the workers. If Mond
believes in industrial peace why does
he not make beginning in the South
Wales coalfields, where his combine
are still forcing down wages?
Even in Mond's opening statement
there was outlined, somewhat vaguely,
a policy which had for its aim the
smashing Of trade unionism and the
socialist movement. He showed that
the development of modern industry
through rationalizations and amalga-
masion had reached the point where
big changes would have to be made in
the administration of industry When
these changes are suggested it will be
found that the many safeguards set
up by the trade unions will be en-
dangered
''Mond made it very clear that the
endorsement of his policy would also
involve increased unemployment as
the result of the adoption of new
methods to improve industry.
"At every stage in the improve
ment' of industry it is the workers
who will suffer, despite the promise
made that they will be compensated
by pensions.
"Thus the statement by the en-
ployers showed that they are playing
upon the timidity of the Right Wing
leaders of the General Council in or
der to make new attacks upon trade
unionism.
"At the conference on Thursday /
declared, most emphatically, my oppo-
sition to the whole business.
while the General Council was
wasting precious time preparing to
meet Mond and his group big attacks
are being made in the coalfields, in
the cotton trade, and wooden industry.
"To set up fighting machinery to
protect these workers is surely the
most important task of a Council
which is supposed to look after the
interests of trade unionists. Instead
of this the time is used to listen, with
almost unanimous agreement, to the
enemy outlining his plans to enslave
the workers further"

HOW TO CUT
COAL BILL

Approximately half of the heat
value in every ton of coal burned
in the average American home is
lost. and half of that loss could
be avoided" asserts Edna Yost,
noted home economist. She say 9:

terial and weather. stripping.
80. inefficient care and mana ge-
ment of the heating equipment.
= ! Exposed pipes in the cellar.
THE magnitude of the heat
loss arising from hare pipes in
the cellar is seldom realized by
the person who pays the coal
bills.
The answer to heat losses
from exposed pipes is clear. It
usually pays to cover them. A
good covering is an insulating
material which is combina ton

asbestos Us per cent?. 1t is sim

years and very often the saving
on the first winters coal bills will
more than pay for it.
"NondPri al fuel savings have
been accomplished in old houses
