RECORD TOTAL
IN PRODUCTION
IN SOVIET union
Output Passes the Half
Billion Figure

Soviet industrial production for
the month Of April reached the
record total of 1,104,000,00O rubles
($56S, 56O,OO0), exceeding the aver
age monthly 1918 output by 60 per
cent, figuring in pre-war prices.
This is announced by Amtorg, the
eoviet-American trading agency.
The exports across European
frontiers for April amounted to ST.
100000 rubles, decline of 100000
rubles from the preceding month,
while imports increased from $780,
900 rubles in March to 59,100,000
rubles in April. There was an ad-
verse trade balance of 100000
rubles for the month as against a
favorable balance of trade of $780,
900 rubles for March, according to
cable reports received by the Am
tory Trading Corporation.
The total favorable trade balance
for the first seven months of the
current fiscal year, beginning Octo-
Der /, 1928, amounted to 28,500,000
rubles as compared with an adverse
balance of 72,900,000 rubles for the
corresponding seven months of the
preceding fiscal yeaY. A favorable
trade balance was attained this year
in spite of the falling out of grain
exports. There was an increase in
the exports of oil products, lumber,
flax and tow, meat, castings, manga
nese ore and other products.
An Indication of the expansion in
Soviet domestic trade during April
is given by transportation statistics.
The average daily car loadings
amounted to 37,041 cars, a gain of 3
per cent over March and of SO per
cent over April 1928.

PROVIDES SOME
FIRING SQUADS
Plus XI. Makes Judges,
and EnfOrces Law

ROME, Italy, June 10.-Pope
Plus XI made a strong bid today
to Guido King Alexander of Serbia,
King Zogu of Albania, Primo de
Rivera and all other military
despots whose thrones he will now
support, unless they clash with his
nearest partner, the blackshirt Mus
solini.
The constitution of Vatican state,
the new petty nation established by
treaty with the fascist, will have
its firing squad, and the gloomy
priest in the Vatican will celebrate
his resumption of temporal power
by shooting against wall anybody
who is convicted in his own courts
of plotting "any action against the
pontiff."
Furthermore, it will have prisons
for anybody who violates it's laws,
and as the pope is able to change
laws overnight, it may take some
ingenuity for a cardinal who be-
longs to the opposition to keep out
of a cell
Absolute Monarchy.
The "Acta Apostolica Sedis," Of
fetal organ of the new government,
makes public today the constitution
of the papal state, as dragged out
by Benito Mussolini from the junk
heap of history.
The first article says:
"The supreme pontiff, sovereign
of the state of Vatican City, has
full legislative, executive and judi
cial powers. During a vacancy of
the See the same powers belong to
the college of cardinals which can
issue legislative regulations only in
case of emergency and effective
only during the vacancy unless con-
firmed by the pope elected.
The Italian penal code, under the
same reservations, will be enforced
in Vatican City.
"Any action committed inside the
Vatican City against the pontiff is
punishable in accordance with ar
ticle one of Italian law of Novem-
Der, 1926" namely, the death pen
atty by firing squad.

PLAN T0FRANE
RED DEPUTIES

BERLIN by MaiD.-The sys-
tcmatic attempts of the German re-
action to do away with the consti-
tuition and with parliamentarism
have now met with a new success
with the assistance of the German
social democracy. The parliamen-
tary immunity Of the Communist
members of the Reichstag, Bertz and
Florin and of the nationalist deputy
Strasser has been withdrawn. Bertz
was accused in connection with dis
turbances which occurred in the
public gallery of the Reichstag be-
tween unemployed workers and sus-
picious looking individuals who
afterwards turned out to be police
spies present at the request of the
social democratic president of the
Reichstag Loebe.
Although the Communist member
PECK informed the house that most
of the police in question had refused
to make any official complaint, the
house adopted the motion of the So
cial democrat Heilmann, notorious in
connection with the Barmat cor
ruption affair, who was greeted
with shouts of "Barmat Swindler"
and the immunity of Bertz was with
drawn. The immunity of Florin was
withdrawn because, as political
secretary of the Communist Party
in the Ruhr district he had signed
responsible for a Communist leaflet
distributed amongst the miners
Heilmann argued for the Withdrawal,
on the ground that as Florin was 6

ii, murdered by order of Mussolini.
The meeting, arranged by the

the capitalist system of Italy.

concrete methods of action against
the penetration of fascism in the
trade unions, the fraternal organi-
cations and in the Italian colonies.
The speeches were received with
warm applause.

ganizer of the militant Independent
Shoe Workers of America; F. La
vino, Of the Biellese Workers Pro-
gressive Club; Cupelli, representa-
tive of the Italian Maxim Maxamilst
Party; Mattel, of the Workers Club
Of Staten Island; o. Eusepi, of the

Report on Congress.
A vivid, analytical report Of the
activities of the international Anti
Fascist Congress held in Berlin, was
given by A. Markoff.
Tom DeFazio, acting secretary of
the Anti-Fascist Alliance of North
America was chairman.
The meeting concluded with the
singing of "Bandiera Rossa," the
battle song of the anti-fascists
wherever they find themselves.

Although they remained silent to

that this yellow-dog agreement is
directed against his participation in

against his teaching in the Workers

1t is clear that the immediate

EXAMINERS NOTES

The City was without Treasurer
during the months of August and

item in the amount of $500 was de-
posted in the bank for which no re-

Treasurer should issue a receipt for !
this item.
The depository securities listed in
this report are in the possession OF
the bank and we find nothing in the

approved by the Council first, then
they should be delivered to the City
Treasurer and they remain in his
possession, not in possession OF the
depository bank. See Chapter No. 40,
Laws Of 1929.
We find that in August 1928 Mr..
J. Neils presented the City with 81 900
for the purpose Of building chill
dren's swimming pool. Instead OF plac-
ing this money in the city treasury
where it would be protected by the
depository securities, the Treasurer

as shown by two Certificates of De-
post in the amount of $4,000 each
and no receipt has been issued for

and this examination covers the peri
cd up to the time that he took office
on September "a, 1929.
The reduction in the amount OF
