too much even for her limited

She had to grin at herself, and it
was this really charming, gaminish
sort of grin that George Pruitt saw
on Crystals not-quite-pretty face
when he stepped into the sun parlor.
Hello, Crys!" he greeted her, US

which always pleased her. You
look adorable this evening. Do I
get slapped for mentioning it?" and
George shielded his face with
raised, spread hands.
"You get kissed!" Crystal laughed
gaily, believing that she sounded
exactly like debonair Tony. And
audaciously she kissed George, full

The compromise became law.
The Democrats became united on
the compromise, but the Southern
and Northern Wings were badly
split.
After long balloting the two con-
ventions, the Democrats nominated
Franklin Pierce and the Wings
named Gen. Winfield Scott.
While Pierce stayed at home, "Old
Fuss and Feathers" Scott insisted
on making some silly campaign
speeches which lost him votes. Of
Scott, Buchanan said: "He was vain
beyond any man I ever knew, OBJ
stinate, self-willed and unyielding. :"
Buried by An Issue
Even SCOTS fine military record
availed him nothing against the is
sue that buried him. The Wing plat
form enraged many party members
in the north and the southern slave
holders knew better than to pass
up the Democrats of whom they
were sure for the badly divided
Wings. In desperation, northern
Wings adopted the slogan:
Support the candidate and spit
on the PLATFORM"
The nations crushing answer to
them was as follows:

Clay was back in Washington at
the age of 70, still with an eye for
women, a taste for cards and a
healthy thirst, if not still hoping
for the presidency.
Clay, Calhoun and Webster, who
had all been secretaries of State
and one a vice president, were max
ing their last public bow together.
Calhoun Dies
Calhoun died before the sessions
end, after being brought to the
chamber in blankets to hear another
read his last defiant speech. JEFF
ferson Davis succeeded him as the
Secessionist leader.
Clay worked seven months on
his famous slavery Compromise of
1850, his last great effort to save
the Union, and Webster supported
him in his March 7 speech, which
lost him the north and his last
chance for nomination.
Senator William H. Seward of
New York had become administra-
ton leader, sharing Taylor's anti
compromise sympathies. Seward
and Vice President Fillmore fought
for the New York patronage and
Seward got it, whereafter he and
most of the cabinet snubbed Fill
more.
Death of Taylor
One day, during the heat of the
compromise debate, Taylor insisted
on drinking several pints of milk
on top of great gobs of cherries on
a very hot day, and died.
Fillmore became President and
the cabinet which had sneered at
him resigned in hurry. Fillmore
adopted the compromise cause and
made Webster Secretary OF State.

MUELLER To Get
ADVERSE BALLOT

Expect Further Action
to Follow

BERLIN, July AFTER careful
elaboration, the Communist members
of Reichstsg today decided to SUBJ
NIT a motion of no-confidence in the
new cabinet formed two days ago by
Chancellor Mueller. Formal notice
will probably be given in the next
AZ hours.
The no-confidence vote is felt to be
a dramatic criticism by the Commu-
nists of the class collaboration poll
oies Of the German social democrats
and has caused great excitement thru
out TIE country.
Chancellor Mueller formed his
trump" cabinet, the so-called "cab-
met of personalities" after the fail
ure to secure coalition among the
Leading German parties in the Reich
stag.
The formation of such a cabinet
called forth unusual comment among
the workers and their leaders, as re-
fleeing the complete betrayal of the
working class by the social democra-
tic party.
1t is believed that further action
will be demanded by the Communists
within the next few days. A dissolu-
tion Of the present cabinet as at pres
ent constituted is seen as not improb-
able.

The New York Times
COntradicts Itself

In news item appearing in the
New York Times yesterday, dated
from London, the buying Of grain on
the world market by the U. S. S. r.
government was interpreted as evil
dence of crisis in U. S. S. R. grain
and the possibility of famine. The
item cites information from Riga re-
reports, one of the most unreliable
news certers for news of the Soviet
Union. The news itself is probably
broadasted by Reuters, the British
government dispatch agency.
A few days ago the New York
Times carried a report from Walter
Duranty, Moscow correspondent for
the Times, which emphasized the ia
vorable crop prospects, and cited ia
vorable reports from all parts of the
main grain centers Of the Soviet
Union, such as Southern Ukraine
and Siberia. The latter report is far
more reliable, especially since it is
reinforced by Official Soviet govern
ment reports.

the Royal Dutch Shell group and the
Carib Syndicate. The new Royal
Dutch subsidiary will take over the
entire capital stock of the Colon de-
velopment company. Thirty wells
have already been completed on the
property. This will open about g.
100000 acres of hitherto undeveloped
oil fields The financing Of this new
enterprise will be done through the
American investment bankers, Lee
Higginson and Co. and Hayden Stone
and Co., who will place on the Amer
lean market $40, 100000 of convertible
debenture bonds of the new company.
While American capital will partic-
ipate in this British oil venture in
Venezuela, the British have provided
for keeping control of the company
by the issuance Of 100000 shares Of
authorized common shares, the ma
jority of which will be owned by the
Royal Dutch Shell group.
The Royal Dutch group represents
the most important and oldest oil in
terests in Venezuela, where the Brit
ish have still greater oil investments
than the Americans. The latter, how
ever, are entering into Venezuelan oil
exploitation and almost all other oil
companies organized later are Amer
lean controlled. At present American

interest in the Royal Dutch Shell
group Is joining in larger measure
the British enterprise.
Venezuela has outstripped Mexico
in oil production and has no laws re-
stricting foreign exploitation.

USSR DELEGATE
HITS POLICY OF
AMSTERDAM Until
Increased Wages Far
Behind Bigger Expenses

Especial Cable to The Daily WOrlTer)
VIENNA, July 4.-Yesterday ses-
sion Of the International Congress of
Food Workers here was characterized
by sharp discussion and debate be-
tween delegates from the Soviet Union
and the executive committee of the
food workers union.
The delegates from the Soviet
Union attacked the policy of the In
ternational Federation Of Ira d e
Unions, which is splitting the labor
movement in all the countries where
it is in control, and sabotaging labor
struggles. The International Fedora
ton of Trade Unions is concentrating
on the international Labor Office in
Geneva and on the League of Ma
tions, neglecting completely the strug-
gle Of workers all over the world
against the war danger, the Soviet
delegates said.
Spotnikov, the second Soviet dele
gate, proved by quoting recognized
statistics that the petty increases in
wages are limping weakly behind the
rising cost of living. He declared
that the Foodworkers International
had no fighting policy, and pointed
out Of the 10000 Swiss francs of the
unions money, only 1000 had been
spent in fights for lettering the con-
ditions of the workers within its
ranks. The rest of the money, $4,000
Swiss francs, had been expended on
administration expenses" whic h
might very easily have been cut down.
After he had completed his speech,
Southeastern, secretary of the Inter
national Food Workers, answered with
a violent attack upon the Soviet
Union. declaring that the situation Of
the working class there was worse
than in the rest of Europe. This,
however, was denied by the Soviet
representatives, who again offered
statistical proof to defend the Soviet
situation.
Especial to The DAILY WORKER. }
VIE N N A, July 4.-The Food
workers International Congress
opened here to-day. The Congress
represents seven hundred thousand
European food workers. This includes
the workers of the food industries Of
the Soviet Union.
A furious campaign against all
places where night-baking is pro-
hibited is being waged by the en-
ployers, according to the report Of
Secretary Schifferstein.
