a decidedly disagreeable odor, which
has spread like cloud over the East

unsuccessful in this attempt.
Even the officers of the Lincoln

gard to her little Indian charges-"Work with
them is SO worth while" The Blackfeet are not
so well off as some of the tribes, but they are

a double charge now for as one of their tribe

MORE POWER IN
GROWING Terror
Named Chief Censor in
Parliament Speeches

VIENNA, Dec. 10. - Premier
Bethlen of Hungary is given the
powers of a dictator in a new bill
which passed the Hungarian parlia-
ment today. The premier and the
speaker of the house are empowered
to forbid the publication of speeches
in parliament which had not previous
ly been officially censored by them
and admitted to the parliamentary
records.
Speeches in parliament which, in
the judgment of these two officials
are prejudicial to the "best inter
ests of the country or "derogatory
to the reputation of the govern
ment" can be excluded from publ
cation. This makes Bethlen's abso-
Lutte powers as dictator even more
complete. He can now impose his
will even more fully on the work
ers and farmers of the country, by
censoring everything directed
against his terror methods.
The social-democrats withdrew
from parliament when the bill was
voted upon, thus not even register
ing their opposition" to the mea-
sure.

BRITISH STEEL
MERCES AGAINST
WALL ST. FIRMS
Empire Unit for War
Created

LONDON, Dec. 19.-One of the
largest iron and steel combines in
the world is about to be organized
by the British to serve as an en-
rire steel cartel to combat United
States competition on all worlds
markets. An export selling commit
tee has already been formed which
includes the principal steel interests
in the British empire.
Hand in hand with the formation
Of the new cartel, the British gov
eminent, ever sensitive to the de-
mands of its capitalist masters, is
already beginning to talk about a
high protective tariff for steel and
taking steps to set up govern
ment iron and steel commission to
cooperate with the steel trust.
Following the fusion of the Cargo
Fleet and South Durham, and still
more recently the Vickers- Cammell-
Laird combine, came confirmation
today that Bolckow Vaughan has
also Joined the merger, together
with Durham Long. The Durham
Long interests has plants in Mel
bourne and Sydney and controls
plants in South Africa and Buenos
Aires, Argentina, thus holding stra-
tegic points for an attack on United
States interests.
The Iron and Steel Confederation,
one Of the most important bodies in
the industry, to which many com
panies involved in the merger be-
long, is sending a deputation today
to meet the executive of the Ma
tional Labor Party to get support
for the formation of the government
commission for the steel industry.
This rev merger is one of a series
being arranged in accordance with
the plan announced a few months
ago by Lord Melchett (Sir Alfred
Mond) to create a network of huge
empire trusts to be used as war
units and sources of war material
in case of war. The cable-wireless
merger has already been completed
and has met with considerable oppo-
sition from American Imperialism,
especially in Latin America.
