ANTI-USSR BL(|D
In Pact With Japan,
Afghanistan, Poland

LAHORE. India, Oct. 31..-The
eastern anti-Soviet bloc, sponsored
by the British and French govern
ments, has actually been concluded
and connected by series of trea-
ties with the military bloc along
the western frontier of the Soviet
Union, according to official reports
received from Afghanistan today.
The Afghan dispatches state that
Sardar Mahmud Bek Khan Tarzi,
Afghan foreign minister, has just
signed treaties with Great Britain,
Japan, Persia, Turkey, Egypt, Fin
land ana Poland.
The contents Of the treaties are
not revealed, but it is highly prob
able that they constitute a military
understanding, directed against the
Soviet Union in the east, and con-
solidate Britain's reactionary policy
towards the native masses OF the
respective countries.
1t is understood that negotiations
are now going on between Afghan
istan and the Marking. regime to
conclude a similar pact. AT the
same time a Joint commission of
British and Afghan officials mas
been appointed to settle all differ
ences along the Afghan-Indian bor-
der, where peasant 'uprisings have
recently occurred.
1t is announced that French capi-
talists will build railroad lines in
Afghanistan, both in the north and
south, which ,in the time of war
would serve as a means of mobiliz-
ing troops along the border of the
Soviet Union.
In addition, foreign capital, be-
lieved to be British, will train a ma
tive air department, while airdromes
are now in the process of construc-
tion and airplanes have already
been bought. The ministry Of fl
nance will engage foreign ad-
wiser, also believed to be either Bri-
tish or French, to organize it's fl
nances and currency.

Smith Repeats Promise
to Aid Unemployed
''By Collecting Data"

Choosing as his text the declara-
tion of Lincoln that "you can't fool
all the people all of the time" Al
Smith, political hypocrite par excel
lence, yesterday raked Heavy Herb
Hoover over the election Goals for
charging that the democrats would
do terrible things with the tariff.
It's fake issue, Smith declared.
Speaking at Newark where Hoov-
er fired the first gun in his eastern
campaign with a talk on "labor,"
Smith laid down for an hour and
a half barrage of political bunkum
such as has not soothed the ears
of liberals and pseudo-socialists in
many months.
Smiths best shots were on the
subject of unemployment "relief."
81 favor the adoption of a govern
ment program to prevent ii suf-
fering and enormous losses of un-
employment" This might mean
something.
But Smith left no doubt in the
minds of his masters higher up:
"The Department of Labor should
be charged with the duty of collect
ing data"
This is the same "plan" Smith ad-
vocated when his New York COM
mission last winter stalled off un-
employment relief. His other points
and promises were of similar or
der.

statement on the indictment of

"The action taken by the grand
jury indicting William Shifrin on the
charge of manslaughter is a chal-
lenge to all class-conscious workers
of this city.
''This grand jury, back of whom
stands the entire capitalist system,
capitalist courts and capitalist poll
ticians, as well as the socialist
gangster officials, has brought in an
indictment despite the fact that
there is no evidence to support it.
Shifrin was defending his life
against the murderous assault of

"The capitalist class sees to it
that Shifrin is indicted while it
leaves untouched the gangsters that
are daily committing brutal violence
against rank and file workers.
These gangsters work in collusion
with the police in New York, as is
evidenced by the assault upon the

New Pneumonia Serum
Covers All Four Types

New York.-A new serum for treat
ing pneumonia, developed by DR.. l..
D. FELTON, of Harvard university, has
given promising results in combating
this highly fatal disease.
The serum marks an advance in
that it can be used for all four of the
recognized types of pneumonia, ac-
cording to DR.. Russell L. Cecil of the
Bellevue hospital, who has obtained
very ef1icacious results from it's use
in the pneumonia clinic of that hos
pital. 1t works best with types one
and two, the two groups that comprise
the majority of pneumonia cases. The
recoveries after it's use with type one
have been very encouraging, indeed,
Doctor Cecil declared, though the
deadly type three has proved the least
amenable of any group.
Pneumonia serums used in the past
have been specific for each type. Since
certain laboratory procedures have to
be followed out before the type from
which the patient is suffering can be
determined, precious time often has
to be lost before the doctors know
which serum to give. The FELTON,
serum of mixed cultures can be ad-
ministered on admission to the hos
pital and frequently gain of many
hours can be made in checking the
course of the disease.

Much of the nervousness in older

played with, but not for more than a
quarter of an hour to an hour daily.
Beyond that, being handled, tickled

Hunter Loses as Utah
Deer Dies in Colorado

Ft. Morgan, Colo.-During the short
season last winter when hunters were
allowed to shoot deer in Utah, Har-
ley Thomas, a hunter in the Diamond
mountains near the Utah-Colorado
state line, shot a large buck on the
Utah side, but the wounded animal
ran 300 yards into Colorado and
dropped dead.
Thomas went after the buck, but
when he arrived where it lay he found
a Colorado game warden sitting on
the carcass of the dead animal. Even
though the deer was shot in Utah,
which at that time gave the hunter
the right to hunt deer, the Colorado
warden refused to turn the animal
over to Thomas, as the Colorado game
law forbid transportation of the car
cass of legally killed deer beyond
the state line.
Thomas was not allowed to kill an
other deer that season as he had al
ready killed his allotment by law, al
though he was not allowed to keep it.
This is the first case of this kind to
happen regarding the killing of deer,
but under the laws of both states Off.
Gals were unable to do anything to
aid the hunter.
