that he "held no brief for the AM

Times into "held no brief for the
Communist agitators of the Am
torg." An obviously malicious
change, deliberately made.
The Federated Press states that:
"Now the cry is that Soviet trade
with the United States be put on
the defensive before political COM
mittee that dare not acquit the ac-
cused. If the present drift con-
tinues, the Amtorg buying agents
may be driven from America. The
effect on employment, in a depres-
sion already serious, can be fore
SEEM"
1t is noted also by the Federated
Press that:
American foreign trade shrank
$290,000,000 in the first three
months of this year. The only coun-
try whose trade with the United
States increased was the Soviet
Union. All the rest reduced their
contribution to employment in
American factories and mills"
In such a situation, the workers
who may be laid off as result of
Amtorg being forced to cancel or
ders that can be filled in England,
can recall that the Federated Press
states also that Chairman Smell of
the house rules committee told the
Federated Press on May 10 that
Matthew Woll and Ralph Easley of
the National Civic Federation had
asked him to bring about such an
investigation"
But why, we ask, all this profound
silence, if not to cover the forcing
through of the congress "investi-
cation of Communist activities ?"

But since it is proven that Ralph
Easley, bosom friend of Matthew
Woll and Congressman Fish, had
these forgeries before Whalen's
adroit undercover men intercepted
them," question arises, and should
be answered by those who pretend
such an exalted interest in discov-
ering the pure truth about Commu-
mist activities as Whalen, the CAPT
talist papers who fanfared his "doc-
uments" as gift to print" the fed
eral officials and U. S. congress
which is going ahead with their
move to suppress the Communist
Party on the basis of these for
geries.
These people have a question to
answer, and that is: Why not in
vestigate these forgeries? Why
not trace the forgers through all
their work, from the mental white
guard Yozwa, through Easley to
Whalen?
Instead of Whalen sending his
bomb squad" dicks to the Work
ers' Center to examine typewrit-
ers," in an attempt to get some
more forgeries, why, for example
does not Whalen discover just
where the typewriter which wrote
his documents" is located?
1t is reliably said to be an Ameri,
can typewriter (although the "docu,
ments" were supposed to have beer
written in Moscow of a style known
as the Underwood No. 9, medium
Roman type.
If any of the U. S. congressman
who are so highly inquisitive about
Communists are even slightly in
terested in the truth. as they pre-
tend to be, why do they not estab
fish who it was that actually wrote
Whalen's documents ?" Who was il
that took the forged letterheads
from Yozwa, what they did with
them, what Matthew Woll, who is
sued attacks on the Amtorg, had tx
do with these forgeries? How die
Ralph M, Easley get hold of them
and how did they get from Easley
to Whalen?

UTW Leads Phillipsburg Strike on the Rocks

PHILLIPSBURG, N. 1.-THE
strike in the Wallace Mill at Phil
lipsburg is still going on despite the
sabotage of the U. T. w. takers,
who absolutely refuse to render any
moral or financial support to their

great resentment amongst the rank

eliminate in an open revolt against

ANNAPOLIS, Md, oct. 2.
Representatives of the Republican
organization in Anne Arundel
county have filed protests against
the registration Of about 400 per-
sons, mostly former residents of
the District Of Columbia who
registered in this county this
fall.
Most of these are living on
developments on Chesapeake Bay
and tributaries. within short dr.v-
ing distance Of Washington.
The petitions were filed with
the boards Of registration in the
different precincts, and an ap-
peal to the courts will lie with
either party in case they are not
satisfied with the action of those
officials.
AS the protests are filed with
the officials who permitted the
registration in the first instance,
presumably they will in most
cases be overruled, and appeal
to- the court will follow. The
p1otestar1ts claim they have filed
the protests on a non-partisan
basis, members Of both parties

Kushner was arraigned on two
warrants, one for the sale of in

being search warrant. Judge j.
Chew Sheriff dismissed the search
warrant in view of Attorney

his case against the sale warrant.
