partners will gravely qualify any
decisions they may make on the
question of Mexican debts and fur
Their grants of credit.
De Oca will come to the United
States to hold conferences with the
International Committee of Bankers
on Mexico.
1t is understood, despite the I'M
official intimations of Dwight Nor
row, that the bankers will make ex-
cessive demands for security for
any fresh credit granted and will
exact a definite agreement for the
payment of interest and the au-
thorization of Mexico's foreign debt
The agreements entered into with
Adolfo de la Huerta and with for
mer finance minister PAM have been
unsatisfactory to the bankers, who
claim that Mexico's ability to pay
was over-estimated.
A close INTERPRETATION of the ques-
ton of foreign debts and the debt
of the national Mexican railways is
understood to exist.
The American bankers are long
alleged to have special interest in
gaining control of the Mexican rail
ways.
The total Mexican funded debt
with interest totals about $545,000,-
coo, with a floating debt of $780,
100000.
Present at the conference, which
will probably be held in New York
City or Washington, will be ]. P

voy in Mexico.

Com m u nists Demand
Change in Germany's
Divorce LIE gisla ton

BERLIN, Nov. % (UP).-Ger-
many-which has the most strict di-
vorce laws of any country in Eu-
rope-was asked yesterday to &C
cept the radical Soviet principle for
divorce statutes.
The Reichstag will be called upon
next week to decide upon a bill in
troduced by Communists which
would permit divorce if one or both
of the parties involved simply stated
a desire to discontinue marriage re-
lations.
The issue, coming on the heels of
a heated dispute on the proposed
construction Of new cruiser,
threatened to create new stumbling
block for the present government.

PLAN TO INSURE
BOSS PROSPERITY
Hoover' Has Scheme
for 3 Billion Fund
Contin1sed from Pooe One

Continued from Page One
in conjunction with the various state
governments under plan by which
the ruling class hopes to reduce the
effects of the business cycle.
Note the significant point that
the construction work is to begin in
"the year of plenty"
While the announcement is that
the scheme is "to aid employment"
the yet undisclosed purpose, as is
known, has in mind far larger aims
by which the capitalist class hopes
not only to maintain what it calls
prosperity but to extend the effec-
tive demand for goods in the home
market to hitherto unthought of
limits.
The plan is based on a remark
able analysis of capitalist produc-
tion-that is remarkable compared
with the absurd treatises now cur
rent by bourgeois economists-an
elaboration by William T. Foster
and Waddil Catchings in a series of
books beginning with Money"
profits" "The Dilemma of Thrift"
"The Problem of Business Forecast
ing" ETC., and ending with the latest
'The Road to Plenty"
In a word the central theme of
the books is that capitalist crises
are caused by the inability of the
consuming masses, under a money
economy, to buy back what they
themselves have produced While ap-
parently rejecting the MARKHAM
analysis of the developments which
disrupt capitalist economy, these au-
thors repeatedly display that they
have followed this analysis very
closely-except that they fail or re-
fuse to understand the relation of
class forces.
Should Be Studied.
The proposal which is now made
by Hoover will undoubtedly &c
through. What the Federal Reserve
Bank has already done in preventing
initiation of prices, this scheme car
undoubtedly (of course, not per
manently) do to prevent the della.
ton of the income of the masses
The proposal is of the greatest sig.
nificance for students and fighters
in the class struggle.

MPE:RIAL.ISTS
FLING WORDS
Find New Excuse for
Rhine Occupation

PARIS. Nov. 22-The reaction
ary Frnnch press has found another
excuse for keeping the French forces
in the Rhineland. Both the Journal
des Dabats and the Liberte demand
that the troops be not withdrawn
until the United States ratifies the
Kellogg pact to "outlaw" war.
The reasoning is subtle and, as
someone has remarked, attacks the
imperialism of another government
to divert attention from it's own.
The Journal reasons as follows:
"France must have a guarantee
that Germany will pay Preparations
and will not start another war
against indefensible France. Lo-
carno and the treaty of Versailles
is not enough, for experience has
shown France that they are not
binding. France will not commit
itself as far as to say that the KEEL
logg pact is binding, but anyhow it
is well to use the opportunity to
show up United States imperialism
and at the same time keep its troops
n the Rhineland.
"That apostle of peace, Mr.. Cool
idge wishes to have his navy bill for
the construction of fifteen cruisers
voted first of all. He wishes be-
fore he leaves the White House to
give to America a naval construc-
ton program corresponding to
American imperial policy"

is the same the world over. Before
the District Political Committee was
able to receive official information
regarding the Cannon affair, the
new Trotsky group had sent oct
their statement to all their former
supporters and possible present sup
porters.
In Kansas City, before all
District Executive Committee mem
bers could be notified, sympathizers
were asking US for more details
about the expulsion. Non-party
people also received this statement,
and how many more obtained the
statement of the three, we do not
know. A liberal, a pessimist, anyone
who thinks we are crazy for talk
ing about the war danger, one who
wants US to be legal in all our ac-
tions in the struggle against cap
italism, one who takes on every new
fad. that comes along, was able to
read the statement of the Trotskyites
of the Party before Political Commit
tee members could. Such actions by
the American Trotskyites are organ
nationally playing into the hands of
the enemy, the hands of the CAPT.
T. 1;~+c
Comrade Cannon says his position
cannot be linked up with Lore, etc.,
but we say that his own statement
is SANDER against the Communist
International and the Soviet Union
and his first steps were as correct
as his present political position is
right danger. 1t is not only a po-
sition that runs into the camp of
the Lorites, but also into the camp
of the socialists and labor takers,
the capitalists and all enemies of
the Soviet Union.
The socialist traitors and the cap
/ italists tell us that socialist con-
struction in the Soviet Union is a
myth and now Jim Cannon joins
this chorus when all facts available
prove the steady development and
construction of the socialist produc-
ton.
In District 10 the loudest sup
porters of Trotskyism are some of
the l. w. w. members Of the yellow
socialist party, pacifists, liberals
and handful of anarchists, and the
leading capitalist papers.
The District Executive Commit
tee rallies full support to the
Communist International, to the
Soviet Union and the position of
the Central Executive Committee OF
the American Party on the Trot-
sky question. The District Execu-
tive Committee will mobilize the
membership against this unprincipled
attack. The District Executive
Committee will fight hard to edu-
cate the membership and the work
ing class to the Marxian-Leninist
position. The District Executive
Committee will answer by rallying
all the members to build the Party
to build the American section Of the
Communist International.
Long live the Communist Inter
national! Long live the Soviet
Union! Long live the American
Communist Party!

IMMIGRATION BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
$1,918,440 Provided for Bet
ter Protection of Ameri-
can Borders.
Bv The Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Expenditures of $1,9l3440 for i'm
migration patrol work along the Cana
dian and Mexican borders as we'll as
the thousands of miles of coast line
would be provided for under the four
department appropriation bill passed
by the House late yesterday and sent
to the Senate.
The amount is an increase of $4,000
over that originally proposed, the figure
being increased after Chairman Smell
of the House rules committee had de-
clared that the country was being
flooded" with immigrants coming across
the Canadian border because of the
insufficient number of immigration in
spectors.
He said he had been informed that
all of the IS additional inspectors, for
which Congress has been asked to pro-
vide. were to be used at new bridges to
be opened soon at Detroit, Brownsville,
Texas, and elsewhere. He argued more
inspectors were needed and declared
on one of the main New York Mon
treal highways there was only one in
spector at points where from 500 to
1000 automobiles passed daily.
1--WE either should have enough in
spectors, or we should say Come on and
let them pass without attempting in
spection," he added.
Recently George j. Harris, assistant
commissioner of immigration, declared
before House appropriations subcom-
mittee that many aliens also were being
smuggled across the Mexican border.

Arizona Senate Passes Memorial
Requesting Coolidge Not to
Approve Measure.

PHOENIX, Ariz., December 21.-The
Arizona Senate yesterday passed a
memorial addressed to President Cool
idge, asking him to veto the Swing
johnson measure calling for1 the build
ing of a high dam on the Colorado
River.
The memorial held the bill uneonsti-
tutional ''in that it attempts to allocate
waters of the Colorado River belonging
to the States of Arizona without the
consent of Arizona" and also protested
that its passage would result in the
reclamation of land in Mexico and for
ever deprive arid lands in the United
States of water essential to their
development"
The memorial concluded: "The meas
ure does injustice to Arizona by taking
that which belongs % this State, and
for all time turning it over to the State
of California. It is based on the theory
that might, and not justice, makes
right"

BERRIES ARE
!. COMING ALONG
First of Season Appear in
Local Stores-Car Lots
Out Next Week ~

Strawberries! All, Kennewick's
most famous product! And most
profitable one, too. Kennewick'
Strawberries have appeared at the
local stores, but so far none have
been shipped. Express shipments
will start the last of the week,
however. -'
The honor of picking the first
ripe strawberries this season has
already been claimed by several
people. The first ripe berries re-
ported to this office were from the
Highlands last Thursday, May 8.
A lost note book is responsible for
the fact that the growers name
is omitted. "First berries" are re-
ported from each of the various
districts this week from Hover TO
Richland. "
With the fine hot days we are
now enjoying the heavy set Of
fruit is coming rapidly and ship
pers are expecting car lots by the
middle of next week. A total sea-
sons crop is estimated at nearly
fifty cars this year.
The weather conditions this
spring have been ideal for berries
and an unusually heavy production
is looked for. The vines are still
putting out heavy bloom and the
fruit is developing rapidly.
A greatly increased acreage will
come into bearing this year and
next year will see still larger
area devoted to berries.
The grass seasan appears to
have hit the usual mid-season
slump. Some of the growers have
quit cutting for the year, while
others are keeping their patches
in shape for the usual Comeback
later. Eastern temperatures. which
have risen rapidly the past week,
causes the buyers to hold off on
future purchases, altho rollers"
have been sold at fair prices in
previous years under similar con-
ditions.
Ordinarily the asparagus season
continues through May into June.
Two weeks later in starting this
year, yet the total shipments 70
date have equalled last years ship
ments, with another three weeks
or month to go.
One of the leading cherry grow
ers reports that he will have car
of "early Bings" out by the last
of the month, and the usual pick
ings will begin in earnest shortly
after June first. Il is estimated
there will be upwards of forty cars
of cherries shipped this year. This
in spite of the fact that faulty
pollenization prevented the perfect
set of the tremendously heavy
bloom. Apricots will start to move
shortly after the cherries.

celebration was called off. Both

This week the matter was re.
ferred to the local steering com.
mittee by the Kiwanis club to de.
eide whether or not the towr
should proceed with plans for q
celebration, At Pasco Monday
night, the American Legion decid.
ed to hold a celebration there. A
committee from the Legion wa:
present at today's meeting of the
Commercial club and our coopera.
tion was asked in their celebration
Afterwards the Pasco men met
with a committee here and decided
to plan joint celebration, possibly
with the daytime entertainment
pulled off on this side of the river
and the fireworks and dance at
Pasco in the evening.
The Pasco men have in mind a
benefit for their Legion Drum &
Bugle corps, while the Kennewick
people hope to add somewhat to
the fund for the fair grounds. The
visitors showed splendid spirit
of cooperation and will hold up
their plans until report can be
obtained from the Kennewick
steering committee. In the mean
time, they have selected COM
mittee to appear with a similar
group from Kennewick to make an
appeal to the bridge company to
take the tolls from the bridge for
that occasion, no matter in which
town the celebration will finally be
staged.
