concluded between this and other coun-
tries since the foundation of the Re-
public.
These documents are not for sale at
value to Uncle Sam is 1ncalculable.
They are guarded with all care, and few
people have ever seen them.
The most rigid exclusion policy is prac-
ticed at the State Department in regard
to these precious old treaties. None
but research students are ever admitted
to the manuscript rooms, and these only
after they have satisfied the custodians
they are qualified in every respect, and
have previously examined all printed
material on the subject they wish to
study.
The documents are fragile. The dip
lomatic history of America is contained
in them.
For instance, here is the Louisiana Pur-
chase treaty, signed by Napoleon Bona
parte, on parchment inclosed between
heavy purple velvet covers. It is sealed
by cord of silk passing through the
sheets, imbedded at the other end in
sealing wax. The whole treaty is con-
tanned in a circular box of gold, which
weighs more than one pound.
There is the reaty signed by Queen
Victoria shortly after the Civil War
sealed in similar fashion. It is incloSed
in a silver box about twice the size OF
the French gold one
The original manuscripts containing
ratification Of the Constitution by the
Is colonies are there with their priceless
signatures.
A treaty with IL Indian tribes signed
by George Washington in 1776 is depos-
tied there, as well as the formal request
Of the King of Burma in 1880 for q

he feared the growing power of Grea'
Britain.

WOMAN LEGISLATOR REGARDS
HOME MAKING AS FIRST DUTY
Mrs. OIdfieId to Work for
Rights of Sex, but as
Citizens.
Attends Personally to Mar
keting and Domestic
Routine. .
BY CORINNE FRAZIER.

Representative Pearl Oldheld, new
est member of the House from Arkan-
sas, who succeeded her late husband
believes that woman's first duty and
greatest service to her country is to
make a home. Furthermore, she in
tends to work for women's rights In
Congress, only as citizens, not as Wom-
en-, and do her own marketing.
"Broad-minded people of today think
in terms of citizen, not SEX" Repre-
sentative Oldfield declared yesterday.
Mrs. Oldfield, a slender, dark-haired
woman WITT soft Southern accent, al
ways has been a homemaker until
called on to fill her husbands place,
and she always will be one no matter
what other duties she may assume. She
attends personally to her own market
ing and the supervision of the daily
domestic routine of her home. In TACT,
when the writer called early at Mrs.
Cldfelds apartment she was informed
that the Representative was on her way
to market to lay in the necessary sup
plies which would assure her OF being
prepared on her return home from
strenuous day at the Capitol.

Mrs. Oldfield has directed the affairs
of her home for so many years that II
has become second nature" to her, ana
it is safe to say that her husband never
was greeted with sorry, forgot the
butter-or perhaps we won't need pota-
toes this EVENING"
This same efficiency she Is carrying
into her official routine.
"How many stamps have you on
hand?" she asked her secretary during
the interview. Better order several
hundred more" she added, when in
formed that there were just about o
hundred at hand. ST always believe IN
being prepared" she smiled in ex-
plantation. You never can tell when
you'll want things in hurry and want
lots of them!"
Am I going to work for women's
rights in Congress? AS citizens, yes; as
women, no. I shall advance no strange
or essentially feminine ideas as enter
tain none. I believe that government
which is properly administered for our
men-our sons, our fathers and our nus
bands-is equally safe and sound for oul
women.

"A woman's first duty and greatest
service to her country is to make a
home. If it is question of choosing
between a political career and that of a
wife and mother, woman's duty and
also her greatest Joy, should be to choose
the latter. But when the two do not
conflict, I think women can be as val
liable as men in the service of their
government or in other business or pro-
fessional fields"
Questioned concerning her plans for
political career, Mrs. Oldfield said
quite frankly that she had none. Il

On the night of Armistice Day
Monday, November 18th, at s p. m.
the Communist Party is organizing
nine mass demonstrations agains

The imperialists are organizing
demonstrations in preparation fol

jingo spirit. In the schools anc
throughout the city against those
demonstrations of the bourgeoisie
and their servants, the working class
in tens of thousands must gather in
counter-demonstration against wa,
preparations and in defense of the
Socialist Fatherland of the workers
of the World, the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics.
In a statement issued last night
by w. w. Weinstone, District or
ganizer Of the Communist Party, he
said, "The Communist Party must
utilize the anniversary of the sign

beginning of a period of concen-

BIC firm FAILS
! IN STOCK CRASH

The New York stock market was
closed yesterday, election day, and
will be open only until one o'clock
today. The usual well trained cho-
rus of captains of industry, and
finance, is screeching about the end
OF the collapse, and the beginning
of a bull market, but the voices are
noticeably more uncertain than over
the week end. The expected rally
Monday turned out to be very short
lived, and Mondays prices fell
worse than ever.
Many failures and near failures
are reported, among them being
that of the Bankers Capital Corpo-
ration Of AZ Wall Street, one of the
largest investment trusts, which pc
titioned for receiver yesterday,
admitting $750,000 deficit.
The effects of the market have
iruined business men and labor union
,treasurers who have been gambling
with the union funds, and thrown
workers wholesale into unemploy-
ment. Some of the victims commit
suicide and others resort to direct
action to recoup their losses.

WALKER, CHIEF

WALL St. Wins
Bourgeoisie S h 0 w S
Faith in Thomas;
Builds His Vote
No c. P. Returns Yet
Vote Shows Hangover
of Reformist Mirage

James J. Walker, Wall Streets
chief candidate for mayor, got the
expected triumphs at the polls yes
terday, but the substantial vote fo1
the socialist Thomas provided one
indication of the growing faith
placed in Thomas by the bourgeoisie
which steadily built his vote fo1
weeks prior to the election.
AS this edition of tn Daily Worker
went to press, the voting stood with
Walker, at 757,146, La Guardia
315,945, Thomas 13S.569.
The Communist vote is not yet re-
turned.
Weinstone, the Communist Party
nominee, got 359 votes in the Co
operative Colony at 2700-28O0 Bronx
Park East, and Otto Hall, Negro
candidate for comptroller, gained
365. Thomas got S3.
Fraud and Violence.
There were many cases, particu-
larly on the East Side, of violence
and intimidation practiced upon the
oppositic-l to Tammany Hall. Dis
trict Attorney John F. McGeehan
was in--clved in a tussle in Bronx,
in which an It.lian foreign born
voter got his skull cracked. Work
ers were preveted from voting at
211 Es Goth ST., Public School 100,
at Rivington and Suffolk Sts., and
at Public School TIA. A watcher
named Squilante was beaten up
outside of Public School 32, Bronx.
In many machines, metal slugs
were inserted to prevent the re-
cording of opposition votes. The
number of Communist votes so lost
will be matter of investigation in
the New York district df the party,
it was said yesterday.
Throughout the day rival snatch
ers fthe working class vote squab-
bled bitterly, especially in the Bronx
and lower East Side. At least four
were kidnapped, many were beaten,
and several arrests were made.
The vote for Thomas proved again
justified the main fire of the Com
munist Party, which was directed
largely against the socialist nominee
as the coming executive of the bour-
geoisie especially in the period of
sharpening class struggles.
