PRAvDA SCORES
BRITISH FARCE
Exposes Chamberlain's
Talk on Relations
(Wireless by "Inprecorr") J

MOSCOW. U. S. S. R., Dec. 49,
"Pravda," official organ of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, declares today that Cham
berlain's answer to questions in the
British parliament concerning the
resumption of relations between
Britain and the Soviet Union is
nothing but a chain of empty
phrases proving that the circles re-
sponsiblc for the breach are not Sc
riously anxious to resume relations.
Pravda declares that the British
government has no right to put CON
ditions to the Soviet Union for since
Britain unjustifiably broke with the
Soviet Union the latter has no re-
sponsibility to Britain.
"The British elections are ap-.
preaching" says Pravda, "therefoae,
Chamberlain wishes to convince
those British circles disapproving Of
the breach and regretting unfavor-
able economic consequences that the
British government wants the re-
sumption of relations but the Soviet
Union refuses to fulfill the condi-.
tions."

Latest Report

United States Commissioner Fran
els A. O'Neill, in filing his report
on the hearing held before him on
the Vestris sinking, entered in the
Federal District Court his findings
One of the chief points admits the
seamen of the Vestris, blatantly ac-
cused of "cowardice" by the capi-
talist press which protected the
Lamport-Holt Company, were per-
fectly competent and would have
saved the ship had it not been for
the incompetent officers. "The
crew seems to have been competent
if led, but they were not properly
led" says O'Neill.
Another point in the report is
that, according to some humbug laws
and loop-holes in them, the Vestris,
a British boat but not touching her
home port in her regular route, was
immune from both British and
inspection laws. The ly-
ing U. S. inspector, Edward Keane,
was mentioned as a liar for saying
he properly inspected the ship, which
he did not, but even here the capi-
talist law lets him escape together
with the company which wa S
charged in one hearing with reach
ing him with booze.

GOVERNOR FACES
AN PARCHMENT
Oklahoma Legislature
Tries Again

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Dec.
10 U.H.-The impeachment of an
other Oklahoma governor appeared
inevitable today.
The downfall of the Henry S.
Johnston administration before the
onslaught of the twelfth legislature
seemed certain when nine demo-
Gratis, irreconcilable to the admins
tration, agreed to join with the re-
publican minority and by overrid-
ing the will of the slender demo-
cratic majority, name the commit
tee that will investigate the COVER
nor's office and all state depart
ments.
The legislature tried last year to
impeach Johnston but when it met
for that purpose, the governor
called out the militia and dispersed
it. Courts granted an injunction
against the impeachment, and be-
fore the regular sessions came
around, political intrigue had taken
away the majority for impeach-
ment. Things seem to have changed
again.
Johnston was charged with fraud,
graft, improper appointments, and
with being entirely under the influ-
ence of Rosicrucians and various
sorts of locculists, so much SO that
he would not sign important bills
when the moon was wrong.

Workers (Communist) Party, and
Robert Minor, editor of the Daily
Worker, will be the principal speak
ers tomorrow at a mass meeting for
which all Workers Party forces are
to be modified and which all work
ers in New York are urged to at
tend.
The purpose of this meeting is to
protest the Wall Street war be-
tween Bolivia and Paraguay, which
the U. S. government, serving the
interests of American oil and cop
per companies exploiting Bolivia
and the disputed territory, is doing
it's best to continue.
To Expose Hughes.
The speakers will point out how
Charles Evans Hughes, U. S. rep
resentative in the Pan-American
conference now meeting and serving
on the committee appointed to in
vestigate the war, is managing
American imperialist interests in a
committee which is controlled by
himself and representatives of gov
ernments which are bought up by
American capitalists.
The speakers will show that not
only are American mining and oil
interests insisting that Bolivia fight
Paraguay for control of the hinter-
land of river ports which Paraguay
already has promised Bolivia, and
for the oil deposits in the Gran
Chaco region, but that without U. S.
consent Bolivia could not buy a
cartridge or hire a single soldier,

troll of American bankers, through

They will prove, in detail, that the
Bolivia Paraguay war is a U. S.

that it is leading straight to a new
world conflict with rival imperial
isms.
The meeting will be held tomor-
row at 8 p. M, at the Grand Central
Opera House, 9th st. and Third
Ave-, New York, and will be under
the auspices of the Workers (Com-

BIRTH OF THE 'DAHY''

The members of the National
Miners Union are planning to cele-
brate the Fifth Anniversary of the
Daily Worker in fitting fashion. The
coal diggers know what the DAILY

told SO, but because they have
learned from personal experience.
Just let your memory flash back
to the days just about a year ago.
The miners were at the height of
their struggles. They had to fight
on three fronts: against the coal
operators, against the capitalist
courts and police, and against the
corrupt, traitorcus Lewis machine
in the United Mine Workers.
The Daily Worker!
Who spoke for the miners in these
struggles? The Daily Worker.
Who encouraged them, led them,
gave them the strength to fight on
despite their terrible sufferings?
The Daily Worker.
Who led the agitation for the re-
lief of the, thousands of starving
miners and their families and for
the defense of those caught in the
capitalist juridical machinery? The
Daily Worker.
The Daily Worker was all over
wherever the miners were fighting
for their class against the enemies
of the entire workingclass. Thou
sands of copies of the "Daily" were
distributed free of charge to the
miners. The Daily Worker was it.
