LATIN AMERICA
HITS ROOT PLAN
League Council Wants
to Raise War Chest

GENEVA, March 8.-Two things
happened at the League of Nations
office here today. The Latin Amer
lean nations protested against the
Root Plan for the entry of U. S.
into the world court. This plan ex-
cludes from the action of the court
all affairs that the U. S. does not
give consent to handling, but adds
that according to the Senate reser-
vations, but promises that the Mon
roe Doctrine and Latin American
questions would, in practice, be at
least for the present, the only things
reserved from the action of the
court.
Latin American delegates are up
in arms at this virtual claim over
them of a protectorate by the U. S.
To Fight U. S. S. r.
The other event is quiet pres
sure by Aristide BRAND, to have
adopted a treaty to amass a sum
of about $20,000,000 to be given to
any country attacked by another
country. This plan is an outgrowtt
of the international aid voted tc
Finland's white guard government
when it was at war with the work
ers of Soviet Russia, and its origin
indicates its future uses. The trea-
ty is to be submitted to all coun-
tries for ratification.

Explode Bomb
To Drive Red
From Lecture

LONDON, March 8.-Bourgeois
students, who resented Communist
lectures at Kings College, today
demonstrated how thin is the veneer
OF democracy" in iInperialist Bri-
tain, when they set off a bomb in
a small cabinet within the lecture
room where ]. T. Murphy, widely
known Communist, was speaking.
The bomb, which capitalist papers
are trying to depict as a "smoke
bomb" showing merely the "play-
full" spirits of the reactionary stu
dents, was powerful enough to
wreck the cabinet in which is was
concealed, shatter the windows and
cause its explosion to be heard out
side in the Strand.
The playful" lads had preluded
the explosion by throwing sulphur
bombs and other objects at the Com
munist speaker.

North Afghan Towns
Back Amanullah; Hold
Anti-SakaO Tribe Meet

MOSCOW, (By MaiD.-Accord-
ing to a report from Termes on the
Afghan frontier, numerous demon
strations of sympathy have taken
place in many towns in North Af-
ghanistan in favor of King Aman-
ullah. Recently agents of Bacha
Saquo have appeared in Mazari,
Sheriff and Hanabad. The authori-
ties in Hanabad have shown them
selves lukewarm in their opposition
to these agents.
In consequence of plundering and
the mobilization which has been
carried out by the agents of Bacha
Saquo with the greatest rigor, unrest
is showing itself in Kugistan.
1t is reported from Jelalabad that
a small section of the troops Of Ali
Achmed Khan which are advancing
on Kabul have gone over to Bacha
Saquo. In consequence the leaders
of the Shinwari and Kugan tribes
have partially disarmed the troops.
In order to settle the differences be-
tween the tribes and to work out a
plan for the taking of Kabul, a
"Djirga" or meeting of the tribal
delegates was called in the village
of Kada near Jelalabad.

Juarez Won by Rebels

Ell PASO, Texas, March s.
Rebel troops captured Juarez, Mex
leo, at 10 a. m. today after stiff
fighting for four hours with federal
forces which were in a large part
conscripted, and armed with rifles
and dum-dum bullets hastily brought
over from the United States across
the international bridge held by U.
S. troops. ''Dum-dum" bullets are
of soft lead with the end split, which
spread out when they strike bone
and make a CHASTITY wound, much
more dangerous to life than the
wound of steel-jacket bullets. They
are forbidden" but used by all
capitalist governments.
When reminded that dum-dum
bullets are supposed to be barred in
recognized" warfare as inhumane,
Mexican federal officers who were
ripping open the cases of dum-dum
bullets, replied: Anything is hu-
name in time of war"
". S. Protects YOu''-Rebel Iaunt.
Several hundreds of combatants
on each side took part in the battle,
which had been preparing since the
night before, when federals re-
treated from the outposts several
miles south and the rebels, some
1000 in all, surrounded and pressed
in upon Jaurez, all the time taunt-
ing the federals to "come out and
fight and not stay under the wing
of the United States Army"
The white flag was flown by the
federals at 10 a. M, after estimates
of from so to 250 had been killed
on both sides. Four persons on
American territory in Ell Paso were
gravely wounded, one died later and
two are expected to die.
Brigadier General George Mosele-
, Iy, commandant at Fort Bliss, had

from arresting persons who are not
actually committing crime is pro-
posed by Commissioner Grover A.
Whalen.
He will go to Albany Monday to
present to the Legislature his ideas
of how the penal code should be
amended
Whalen proposes:
Arrests of JobIess.
l. That prlic, be permitted to
arrest as wayward, youngsters who
"habitual!y idle away" their time.
:. That the vagrancy law be ex-
panded to permit the arrest of all
who cannot prove lawful" employ
ment.
3. That the law regarding "sus-
picious" persons be expanded to
permit the arrest of all persons with
criminal records or more than one
conviction for disorderly conduct
who are found in public places, or
lettering "as if intending to commit
a crlme."
A. That all persons arrested on
suspicion be fingerprinted.
: All of WhaleR's propositions arc
intended to directly assist the po-
lice in framing workers not liked by
their bosses. They also permit more
spectacular raids and mass arrests.

Oakland Youth to Aid

harder conditions of work. The price
Of the paper has been raised from
s. cents a month to a dollar, but
the wages of the boys has been re-
duced 20 per cent, commissions on
sales 33 1-3 per cent and one man
has been taken off every corner
where sales are made, thus doubling
the work
The Young Workers League is
trying to lead the strike and win

Much sympathy is expressed for
the strikers by subscribers 20 the
papers and large numbers ali over

stopped until the strike is settled
right. 1t is hoped to draw in the

is harder in the case of the latter as
they are younger boys, often quite
young, who work only little while
