reduction and for a strike with a
weeks notice to the owners, the ma
jority being 1T.

The charges are made by DR.. John
Louis Marchand, for several years
chief of the Municipal Hospital at
Bluefields, Nicaragua, who also asks
why "the Navy Department white
washed the guilty privates and Off
GERS of the Marine Corps when COM
PLANTS were made"
In a letter here, the statement
continued, Marchand gave detailed

perpetrated upon unarmed Nicarag-
uan prisoners" Marchand learned
about them, the statement said,
through patient who had been
subjected to inhuman and sadistic
tortures at the hands of officers of

RumoIs of such outrages have
constantly come from Nicaragua,
from returned marines or in the let
tiers of servicemen in the invading

Outrages of a similar character
are also attributed to the Guradia
Nacional, the native constabulary

tional guard, made up of Nicarag-
uan plantation owners and business
men.

GERMAN Takers
IN new GESTURE
Social-Democrats Send
Meek Note to League

GENEVA, Switzerland, April IA
The German social democrats
made another gesture for peace to-
day when the government sent tc
the League of Nations note stat
ing that the disarmament confer
ence must take some definite action
for an international disarmament
understanding.
This is in line with the policy of
the social democratic government,
which, after consistently voting
armament credits, recently faced a
cabinet crisis thru it's refusal to
vote new armament appropriation
following mass pressure against
such action.
The note, which was presented to
the League by Count Won Bern
storff, former German ambassador
to the United States, now head of
the German delegation to the Pre-
paratory Disarmament Commission,
furthermore expresses the policies
of the German imperialists. With
their armament crippled by the AL
lied terms after the world war, they
have everything to gain by the
armament limitation of the other
powers.
The note lists the German sug-
gestions as to how draft treaty
on armament limitation can be has
tened.

Grishka's feet stumble one against
the other, but what is he to do? He
dragged himself to the cemetery. 1t
is situated between the depot and
the town, on an empty lot. 1t is
surrounded by stone wall, but the
gate is not closed. The wind soughs
through the trees. And the snow is
not quite melted yet. The nights
are sometimes very cold. But in
their hole in a corner between two
walls, it is somewhat warmer.
Twice they had ventured to build a
fire. But this cannot be done often,
or they will be discovered.
cRISHKA was downcast when he
-" got there, but a joy was await
ing him. The kids had made haul
and had left some food for Grishka
Their hunger satisfied, the girls be-
gan to sing in low voices. And the
four boys commenced to relate the
experiences of the day. They sat in
the narrow hiding place, pressed
close to one another. 1t is crowded
! but it is better so. 1t gives more
warmth, and makes the place seem
less spooky in the hours of darkness
And usually, weird spell envelops
the cemetery during the night. Wher
the wind goes rustling through the
trees, ana it is dark-then it is bet
ter. But when the moon comes out
i'll the sky and when everything is
still and calm-it is more terrible.
From far away the barking of dogs
is heard. The sounds come from
where the living are. But here every
thing is quiet. A real grave. 1t
feels as if someone were in hiding
nearby, covering his mouth with his
hand and gazing fixedly. When one
peeps out of the hiding place one
sees the moonlit crosses. All the
crosses and the monuments stand
straight and stiff, as if frozen. They,
too, seem to crouch threateningly.
The night is dark and windy. From.
the city the breath of life is waited
by the wind. Shaggy Vaska, when
his hunger is satisfied, is always
ready to tell stories. Tonight, too,
he begins yarn. The girls become
quiet and listen.

tories BID FOR
WORKERS VOTE
Churchill Plays With
British Budget

LONDON, England, April To-
Winston Churchill, former Liberal,
now Conservative, made his bid for
the votes of poor British workers
today by including reductions of
taxes on simple commodities, tea,
beer and liquor in his report on the
/. budget, which was scheduled to be
the Conservatives Withdrawing card
in the Forthcoming general election.
Churchill claimed that the cost of
living had gone down IS points since
the Conservatives came into power.
The British workers have never no.
ticed this. He neglected, however,
that the unemployment figures have
gone up many more points, and that
the lowered cost of living, still exor-
bitant for the starving, doesn't vi
tally effect the millions of unem-
ployed. This was only one of Church
ills 'fables for workers to read"
The greatest economy effected by
the Conservatives has been on ar
maments, said the chancellor of the
exchequer of the government which
has been furiously racing with
American imperialism in the strug-
gle for more and more battleships.
Large cuts in armament" he
observed, however, "are dependent
on international agreement, which l
fear is not as easy to reach as had
been hoped, and which is limited to
the absolute requirements of this
Island and the British empire"

they begged on the streets of the

BIG FINANCIERS

HIS ministry
.Switalski, Spy Head, Is
New Prime Minister

WARSAW, Poland, April 15.-
Four new appointments to the Polisl
cabinet made simultaneously will
the appointment of Major Casimii
Switalski as premier yesterday, have
secured the grip of the Pilsudsk
dictatorship on the country.
Nothing shows more clearly thar
a catalog of the new appointees the
character of the new cabinet ana
the part which it is to play in the
carrying out the orders of Pilsud5lc
and Polish capitalism.
The new finance minister, Col
Ignacy Matuszewski, former minis
ter to the Hungarian fascist govern.
ment and former head of the Polisi
intelligence service of the Polish
army, is known as the slickest OF
the Colonel" group, as Pilsudski's
ruling clique is locally called.
Pilsudski's most intimate friend
and for years his aide de camp, Col
Aleksander Prystol, has been APP
pointed minister of labor on the eve
of the new mass trials of workers
and peasants arrested for sedition
or Communist sympathy in many
parts of the country.
Col. Ignacy Boerner, another in
innate friend of the dictator, has
been made minister of post and
telegraphs.
The foreign minister, Zaleski,
famous mouther of pacifist phrases,
has the approval of Pilsudski and
has retained his post. Under-secre-
tary of State Czerlinski has been
made minister of education.
Pilsudski of course, remains at
the head of the war ministry, thru
which he controls the whole gov
eminent.
One feature of the new govern
ment and the close cooperation be-
tween the big financial interests and
the dictatorship is the specially ere
ated Financial Advisory Committee,
which will be composed exclusively
of big financiers. This committee
will guide the decisions of Col. Ma
tuszewski, the finance minister.
The cabinet has thus been turned
into an official family of the die
tator, immensely strengthening and
making perfectly open his absolute
control of the Polish government in
the interest of Polish capitalism.
An attack upon, and the eventual
dissolution of, the Polish parlia-
ment (sejm) is forecast as result
of the new strength of the fascist
cabinet.

ADJOURN SESSION
ON PREPARATIONS
Paris Resents Tone of
u. S. Delegates

PARIS, France, April 15.-After
a closed plenary session, the repara-
tions conference here has adjourned
until tomorrow. No decision is
known to have been reached by the
delegates except not to publish the
actual figures contained in the
Allies bill to Germany.
DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, German
delegate, is said to have done most
of the talking at today's session, and
it is understood that he demanded
and got more time to study the bill.
1t is obvious that the German dele
gates mean to bargain close for
their adherence to the unofficial bloc
of the western European powers
against the Soviet Union.
The Paris press is attacking the
position of the American delegates,
the tripartite financial dictatorship
of the conference in the persons of
il. P. Morgan and his lieutenants,
Owen D. Young and Thomas w.
Lamont. The press points out that
they are unofficial delegates and
that they have no right to dictate
to the conference as they are doing.
The attack is occasioned by the
fact that in the pared-down repara-
tions bill the cost of the American
army of occupation in the Rhine is
the second item, together with that
of the occupational armies of other
nations. Significant, however, is
the item coming Immediately pre-
ceding these-the cost of service of
the Morgan loan under Dawes Plan.

sidewalk, showing each other.
And just then the devil brought a

"What is this? Are you peddling,
boy?"
And the boy held out box of
cigarettes toward her. Like fool
he sings out:
"Best quality. How many? A
dozen?"
And she takes hold of his arm.
"Come along to militia head
quarters. Haven't you read the or
der about speculation by children?
Are you illiterate? Very well, we'll

The boy resists and she pulls him
along. And Grishka, of course, took
to his heels. Almost got into hot
water, that time. It's good thing
the woman was green, otherwise she
would have nabbed both of them. A
hell of a day!
And the sky was already drawing
to an end. The sky grew sad and
gray. Just one merry pink stripe
remained. But there was no warmth
in it. People FASTENED to their
homes. The wind began to blow more
