HOOVER HELPS
SUGAR GRAFTERS
Acted to Help Friend
Earn $4,000 Graft

WASHINGTON, Jan. Hoover
helped his friends, Edwin Shatthck
and Gen. Crowder, earn the big
graft paid them by the Cuba Co.,
not only by words but by action. He
instructed r. L. Purdon, sugar ex-
pert of the department of commerce,
to work out a tariff schedule salts
factory to the National City Bank
and the Cuba Co., which controls
S17o,OQ0,0OO in -ugar properties in
Cuba.
Edwin Shattuck, who is Hoover
personal attorney, admitted he re-
ceived $4,000 graft from Lakin,
president of the Cuba Co., to enlist
the help of Hoover in their sugar
tariff lobbying. Hoover, Immediately
after his inauguration, set govern
ment machinery in motion to see
that his friend got the goods fol
which he had been paid the graft
Purdon, in the memorandum, pre-
pared on orders from Hoover, said
he had been "asked by the White
House and Senator Smoot to work
out practical sliding scale" in the
interest Of the sugar bosses.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE i'm
perialist chief, Hoover, described
the race-for- ornaments conference
to be held in London, Jan. 21, as
"the most important of interna-
tional conferences of a great many
years to come"
The growing economic crisis in the
United States, which is sharpening
the world crisis, inspired the chief
executive of Wall Street in Wash
ington to say that the war prepara-
tions that would be the subject of
discussion in London is the most
important question facing the i'm
perialist powers.
"Peace-pact" Stimson, who heads
the American delegation, while he
did not reveal the instructions given
to him by Hoover, said that the
president gave the delegation a
"buck-up speech" U. S. imperial
ism is not waiting for any agree
ment on naval increases, but is pro-
ceeding rapidly with the building of
fifteen, 10,000-ton cruisers.
At the conference with Hoover,
Stimson- said there were no differ
ences of opinion. The imperialist
representatives are unanimous that
Wall Street insists on a large navy

to press the growing struggle for

Dispatches to New York capital

cruisers alone. This was the origi-
nal plan. The rapid war prepara-

Hoover will be in daily touch, by
private cable, with the delegates to
the naval conference. With the del
egates will be government publicity

reports of the proceedings with a

THIRD P ARTY

WASHINGTON, Jan. Further
steps toward the development of a

masses in the growing crisis was
evidenced by the controversy which

Senator La Toilette was to be given
a position on the committee.

indications are that the controversy
between the so-called old guard and

would lead the third capitalist party

KAROLYI HALTS
SOCIALIST PLAN
Does Not F all Into
Rand School Trap

The efforts of the socialist party
to use the visit of Michael Karolyi
and his anti-fascist speaking tour to
build up their social-fascist move
ment here met with complete fail
ure when Karolyi fatty refused to
speak under auspices of those who
are fighting ride by side with the
fascists.
The socialists, without permission
from Karolyi, and without his
knowledge, had advertised him to
speak under auspices of their Rand
School, and announced that Norman
Thomas would be chairman of a
meeting at Carnegie Hall, at which
Karolyi spoke, and that the meeting
would be sponsored" by a commit
tee, including Morris Hillquit and
other social-fascist liberals.
Failing to utilize the tour of Ka-
rolyi for their social-fascist pur-
poses the socialists are endeavoring
to prevent the success of the meet
ings.
Karolyi pointed out the role of the
Hungarian socialist party, which is
member of the same reactionary
second international as the socialist
party in this country.
"The Hungarian socialists make
bargains and pacts with the Horthy
government" Karolyi declared.
"They pretend to represent. social
ism, but in reality they are helping
the dict, orship."
Karolyi made it clear, in cable
gram to the Authority League,
before his arrival here, that he
would not speak under auspices Of
the Rand school and the socialist
party.

Organize Jobless

With unemployment growing all
over the United States, the various
districts of the Communist Party
are stressing the Unemployed Pro-
gram of the Party. In Detroit, an
Unemployed Council has been organ
lied and is calling conference for
Jan. II.
In Chicago, Buffalo and Boston,
special work is being done among
the unemployed. A mass meeting
has been called of all unemployed
workers in Boston for Jan. Is at
Union Hall, % Harrison Ave.
The central feature of the Unem-
ployed Program of the Communist
Party is the unity of the unemployed
with the employed to fight against
wage-cuts. A demand for full wage
unemployment relief, paid by the
state, under the supervision of the
workers is another Of the leading
demands.
The Unemployment Campaign is
being connected up with the Party
Recruiting Drive. Reports from
the districts show that the total
number of new members recruited
this week is larger than any pre-
vious week. A total of more than
900 new members have been en-
listed in the ranks of the Commun-
list Party.

Albania Says
Athens Report
(WireLess By Inprecorr)

~ ~ u
ATHENS, Jan. Tt is reported
here that the mountain tribes of
Albania are in revolt against the
Albanian king, Zogu. The rising is
reported to be spreading rapidly.
Albania is feudal country COM
posed of principally the old terri
tory of Turkey, two-third of the
S33,618 inhabitants being Moham-
medans. A republic was set up in
1917 and Ahmed Ben Zogu was
proclaimed" president. After
eleven years zogu tired of being
president and was proclaimed"
XII =, taking the title of King Fog
the First.
Reports that the people resent
King Zog's introduction of modern
customs are to be discounted as
cause for the revolt. The probable
cause is intrigue between Italian
imperialism which wants to grab
the Albania seaports, and fascist
Yugoslavia which wants to grab the
whole country.
Each of these robbers are con-
tinually sending spies and disturb
ers into the country, either to bride
Zogu or to incite revolt against
him. Thus revolt in Albania is
connected with the whole Balkan
and Adriatic powder barrel which
may blow up any minute and in
