SOV|ETS SCORED
FOR CHEAP LABOR
Georgetown U. Economist
Says World Revolution
Is Intended.

The assertion that the Soviet's five-
year characterization plan was designed
to bring about such disastrous economic
conditions as to accomplish world
revolution was made today by Rev.
Father Edmund Walsh, vice president
of Georgetown University, in testimony
before the House Communist Committee.
Father Walsh, who was with the
American Relief Commission in Russia
several years ago, said the Soviets
depression by dumping into the world
markets products of enslaved labor.
Reads From Russians Book.
He read from book by c. T. Grinko,
creator of the five-year industrial plan,
which said that 1.-THE five-year plan is
an important part of the offensive of
the proletariat Of the world against
capitalism; it is plan tending to
undermine capitalist sterilization; it
Is great plan Of world revolution. !"
He said the Soviet department of
labor had issued DEGREES authorizing the
government to send 10000 workers into
the mines and forests TO produce, with
out any compensation, coal and lum-
Der for export.
Reveals Propaganda Scheme.
The educator presented to the COM
mittee a copy of book written by
Gregoire Bessedowsky, formerly charge
d'affaires at the Soviet embassy in Paris,
revealing how he was to be sent to the
United States, presumably for trade re-
lations, but specifically to promote Com
munist propaganda.
The book said annual subsidies for
q H. AtNn Init al
amounted to 500, 900, while the cost of
maintaining military and naval spies
was $50, 900 annually.
The educator read from report of
the world congresses held at Moscow,
stating that unemployment was a
growing object of Communists in
America and that it had been spon-
sored in special campaign. The cam
paign, the report said, was promoted
in the anthracite and bituminous
strikes in Pennsylvania and attacks
against the American Federation of
Labor.
Report Is Translated.
He translated a report of the Soviet
congresses saying the revolutionary
center in America was in its 10000
Negroes, but said the Communists had
not succeeded in advancing their cause
In that connection, the report said
the Soviets had not been able ito do
anything with the Pullman car porter"
The report added that Communists
had subsidized anti-imperialist cam
paigns three years ago in Nicaragua
and China and that efforts had been
made to influence Marines sent to those
countries to turn against the United
States.
Reds in U. S. Put at 10000.
Reading further from the report,
Father Walsh said the Communists had
established perambulatory schools around
Buffalo, instructors being sent from
New York City to conduct the schools
along lines formerly followed by cir
cult riders in the rural districts.
The Red membership in this country
was officially recorded at 10000 in the
report. The Communist party, it added,
published IL daily papers in Ian
guages, in addition to II weekly jour-
nails. with an aggregate circulation OF
10000.

German War Guilt
Is Matter of Doubt,
Saws Church Survey
Many Americans Disagree
Over Placing Response.
bility for Conflict.
BY REX COLLIER.

Twelve years after the arInistice,
sentiment of a representative group of
American citizens is divided not only on
the question Of Germany's responsibility
for the World War but on the wisdom
of Americas entry into the conflict.
A bulletin just issued by the Federal
Council of Churches discloses a great
ma jority of educators, churchmen and
civic and business leaders do not hold
Germany solely to blame for the war,
and that nearly one-third of them
think the United States never should
have entered the war.
The views were disclosed in answer to
missionaries sent out by Kirby Page,
periodical editor. Results of the sur
vey were made known in an article by
Walter w. Van Kirk, associate editor
of the Federal Councils bulletin.
Twenty-Five out of 81 college presi-
dents who replied to the QUESTIONABLE
were of the opinion that Germany and
her allies were more to blame for the
war than any other country, but a
group of clergymen and social welfare
workers was about evenly divided.
Only out of II in the church group
commended that Germany alone was re-
Sponsible.
A total of 429 replies was received to
the QUESTIONABLE, which was sent to a
large number of leaders in the fields OF
education religion labor and business
To the question do you believe that
Germany and her allies were solely re-
sponsible for causing the World War?
364 answered mo- 48 said yes" and
10 were in doubt.
That Germany was more responsible
than any other power" was the belief
of 2O9 persons, while 152 others held g
negative view and Sc could not make uI
their minds.
OF the II church representatives who
replied to the query regarding major
responsibility for the war, 81 denied
Germany was more to blame" 20 tool
an opposite view and IA were undecided
Among the lawyers and business
men, IA laid the major responsibility
on Germany and her allies and s de-
Tended Germany against the charge.
Six of the college presidents could moi
accept the view that Germany was tc
blame in greater degree than any one
else.
An "all-round cancellation of wal
QeULS ana IGDdIdtlOn was ldtOICu u
I55 citizens and opposed by 206. Fifty
eight others had an open mind on this
question.
The final question was:
In the light OF all evidence nov
available, do you think the United
States actedtwisely in entering the wal
against Germany?"
To this inquiry 274 persons re.
sponded yes 80 replied mo and 7t
said they were in doubt about the
matter.
The Federal Council editors only
comment on the findings was:
"Was Germany solely responsible fol
the World War? Regarded in America
as more or less of an academic question
this inquiry has way Of forging to thf
front In Europe. Not alone in Ger
many, but in other countries, church
men, social reconstructionists and not
few diplomats are insisting that thi:
question be answered in the full light
! Of the facts revealed since the war"

CURB ON CONSCR|PT

League Disarmament Body
Approves Plan--U. S. Dele

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, November 10.-The Leagues
Preparatory Disarmament Commission
today voted to limit the period of serv-
ice for army conscripts by both a uni
versal maximum and by maximums for
each nation which shall become a party
to the general convention.
The French delegation succeeded in
including in draft of this provision
that these maximums should apply to
all military forces on land and sea and
in the air.
Period Not Specified.
The article in the preparatory draft,
as adopted after protracted debate,
reads: in each contracting state hav-
ing the CONSUMPTION system the total
period of service which the annual con-
tingent is compelled to serve, whether
for land, sea c. air forces, shall not ex-
coed the figures accepted by each high
contracting party, and in no case shall
the figures exceed blank months
The blank" remains to be filed in.
Hugh S. Gibson, the American dele
gate, took no part in the discussion
which preceded the vote. The German
Russian and majority of the commits
sion members also abstained from vot-
ing.
The debate was over the merits OF
two systems of limitation-a universal
top figure for all contracting parties
and a proposal that each State fix its
own maximum.
Compromise Is Made.
Eric Colban, the Norwegian delegate
proposed combination of both systems
which was adopted by vote of to 6
The commission seemed to feel that II
had given more time to this point than
its Importance warranted.
Over the week end a subcommittee
succeeded in preparing in a form suit
able for incorporation in the draft con-
vention the principles agreed upon in
the London naval treaty.
1t was stated on good authority, how
ever, that this tentative draft in nc
way affected the naval differences be-
tween France and Italy and had no
significance as indicating a change in
the attitude of these two nations.
