GEN. Won SEEkT
FAVORS ASCIST
GERMAN REGIME
Socialists Try to Be
little Move

BERLIN. - The "Deutsche All
gemeine Zeitung" Peoples Party
organ) has organized an inquiry
among various prominent persons
in German political life, asking them
whether they think participation
of the fascists in the German gov
eminent is desirable. So far four
persons have answered, General Won
Seeckt, Professor Schuessler, Hyal-
mar Schacht, the former director
of the German State Bank, and the
old Prussian Junker, Oldenburg
Yanuschau.
Seeckt answers with an "unre-
served yes" He thinks that the
essence of the Hitler movement
should be made a part of the fu-
ture government. Such a govern
ment should be like steel-shod
wedge driven forward by the will
of the people against the wall of
economic difficulties and outside
hostility. That this means a die
tatorshi0, is received with a shrug
of Sc . IS shoulders and the re-
mark that you can not make ONE
lettes without breaking eggs. He
also wants social democratic coop
GRAFTON in order to free the work
ing class from Russian bolshevist
poison"
Professor Schuessler thinks that
the time has not yet arrived for the
participation of the fascists in the
government and expresses the opin-
ion that the fascist economic pro-
gram can not be carried out. He
thinks that the Hitler movement
must first of all become still much
stronger in order to carry out real
cleansing of German public life. The
doubtful professor also fears that if
the Hitler movement fails the mass
es would drive toward Bolshevism.
Hyalniar Schacht expresses the
opinion that it is impossible to rule
Germany against the powerful fas-
cist movement, just as it is impes-
sible to rule against the social demo
Gratis. The implication is that the
rfascists and social fascists should
cooperate.
Oldenburg- anuschau declares it
is his opinion the fascists have an
ABSOLUTE right to a share in the gov
eminent.
Today's social democratic "Vor-
waerts" tries to treat the whole in
.liry as joke, but the Rote Fahne
points out that the imitation humor
Of the social democrats is uncalled
for. They alone were responsible
for the fact that General Won Seeckt
could play a political role in Ger
many. 1t was the social democrat
Ebert who made Won Seeckt mill
tary dictator of Germany and pre-
pared the way for the coming fas-
cist dictatorship. The press discus
sion carried on by right wing capt.
talist circles is not merely for the
amusement Of its readers, as the
"Vorwaerts" pretends to suppose,
but in order to prepare the way ide-
ologically for the Hitler Dictator
ship.

WILL SELL DAILY IN
SPITE OF HELL"

I'VE had called mass meetings,
writes J.B.W. of Flint, Mich, (which
the police broke up, breaking into
workers homes with riot guns. We
had two young workers selling the
Daily in front of the shop gates.
They had one of the newsboys ar
rested and tried to connect him with
a bank robbery, but released him.

Detroit Decreases Order 500

From Sarah Victor, Daily Worker

The quota for Detroit was 1,400 in

tailed letter turned out to be an in
crease of ia instead of thousand.
Later Detroit wired us of plan to
ga n an increase of two thousand
daily readers by January l."
with a gain of Ills, reduced by
500, the net results of these ostentati-
Gus increase" wires are SIS during
the whole campaign.
Detroit is one of the biggest and
most vital territories in the Commun-
. list Party. Yet it is one of the few
. big cities where there is no Red
Builders News Club. Everything
proves that the Daily Worker can be
sold if there is any determination to
organize its sale. The workers merely
need to know there is such paper.
Detroit must learn how to build cir
culation in a slow steady process.

Hoboken Mayor, Ally of Morgan Corporation,
Oans Disorderly Houses and Gambling Dens

working McFeeley has collected from
the manifold criminal activities in the
city.
HobOken, like its neighbor, Jersey
City, has become center for book
les, gambling dens and drug ped
dlers. White slavery, from which
Jersey City was fairly free until a
year or two ago, is rampant in Ho-
bOken. Mayor McFeely has admit
ted to his friends that he owns sew
eral brothels, and If he is one up on
his ally Hague, i'm this respect, those
who should know say that brothels
are coming back into Jersey City
on wide scale. And if they are,
it can be depended ON that Hague
is prOfiting on them handsomely.
Owns Gambling Houses, Too.
Hoboken is honeycombed with book
les warehouses;. Merely is "finan-
cially interested" in several of them
and collects from every one without
exception. The gamblers, with Off

deal of his time. There is the Public
Service OF N. j., for instance.
Public Service is a Morgan corpora
ton that pretty much divides the
northern part Of the state with
Rockefeller's Standard Oil. Public
Service owns most of the street rail-
ways in New Jersey and is trying to
get control Of all the bus lines as
well. Hoboken provides as good an
example as any of how Public Ser
vice acquires the business it prizes
so highly.

Adjoining Jersey City on the north
is the square-mile city of Hoboken, a
seaport which lies paralyzed under
the shock of the current economic
crisis. In total population of $4,000,
from 1000 to 10000 workers continue
the weary hunt for the jobs that
don't exist.
When a worker is out of a job in
Hoboken, he knows it. His starvation
isn't even broken by the soggy bread
and soupy water distributed by the
holy-ghost charity breadlines in New
York.
The arrogance Of the capitalists
who own the state is reflected in the
politicians they have installed in Ho-
boken's City Hall. There is no Al
Smith here in Hoboken who flights

of Morgan and DUPONT and Raskob,
nor is there even Mayor Murphy OF
Detroit to promise food to the star
wing and then club them when they
ask for it. Mayor Barney Merely
scarcely knows that there is a de-
preston in the United States, and if
you told him that 100000 workers
were unemployed and several millions
of them. with their wives and chill
dren, were starving, he would stare
at you dumbly and blink.
Has IL Bank Accounts.
Part Of this dunbness is due to
the fact that the mayor has never
learned to read, but the greater part
of it is due to his preoccupation with
his eleven bank accounts, several of
the largest Of which are result of
McFeeley's connection with the Pub

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

At the garden shows that flourish al
over the country in the Autumn there
are usually prizes offered for attractive
ly set tables-for breakfast, lunch and
dinner, tea and after-theater supper,
formal and informal.
Lots of good suggestions can be picked
up from these exhibits. Women get
into rut in their own ways of doing
things, and even in the matter of table
setting might benefit by new ideas.
At one show, there was lovely after
theater buffet supper service of this
sort: The table was spread With 9 pure
Everything was arranged as II the
guests would all approach the table
from one side. as II 1t might have been
pushed back against the wall. Toward
one end Of the table, and halfway to-
ward the back. but within easy reaching
distance of the front, was a silver cof-
Zee service on o tray. Spread out be-
side 1t were six cups and saucers, all
ready to receive the coffee. In q
straight. prtm row at the side Of the
tray were six spoons for the coffee. At
the other end Of the table, balancing
ing a tall pewter pitcher and six
glasses. for cider or punch.
Toward the coffee service were six
plates in q pile, and toward the other
tray were ak small plates in a pile.
Six forks were ranged stifiy beside the
six large plates, six smaller forks be-
side the six smaller plates. In the
center Of the table were six napkins in
Q row.
It was all most attractive. And as
you analysed it, the thing that made
1t so was that everything was arranged
most precisely, even primply. It was
obviously for an informal good time,
but the immaculate prinness of the
table was exactly right.

FOOD FASHIONS

A stFipgbean usually is Just a string
bean-until 1t is prepared In the inim-
liable dainty fashion of the French
and German cooks. Then it becomes
food for gods and geurmets.
How the artist cook seerns merely
TO pull the strings off a delicious
tender, juicy bean, pop it In three or
four big pieces and put them in a
kettle to cook, as is often done in
home kitchens.
No, sir. Each bean is carefully
strung and washed, then broken into
sections, which in their turn are finely
shredded. When ready for cooking
there stands g pot Of pale green or
butter-colered bean strips as light and
fluffy as jack stFaws and about as
crisp.
Now the beans will cook quickly and
become tender enough TO melt in the
mouth without losing either color,
flavor or nourishment through con-
tinued boiling. Butter and seasonirgs
are added-perhaps q little thick
eream-and you are served with one
OF the most delicious vegetables you've
ever tasted.
Thus do stringbeans come to the
table In the fine hotels and restaurants
where chefs trained in the thorough,
painstaking ways of European kitchens
have not yet learned to slight their art
TO save little time or trouble. It
is 9 food fashion which will forever
remain classic, defying the passage of
time and vogues that come and go.

Table Decorations

A few points that may well be borne
In mind when planning the center
table decoration are the following:
Discriminate between a formal party
and an informal party or family din
nef, and let the decorations conform
to the occasion.
Have In mind the color scheme Of
the room and the outstanding eelors
OF food on the menu. HarmehiEe The
color OF the center decoration with
both.
Additional table decoration may be
compete dishes, two or four in number;
these are usually PLACED toward the
ends of the table and may be high,
low or medium, according to the pro-
portion required by the center decora-
ton
Candiesticks or candelabra may be
used on each side of the eepterpisce;
they may be Of crystal, silver. Venetian
glass or fine china, or, where italian
or Spanish pottery Is used in a room
OF that type, the candle holders may
be OF pottery Use very tall tapers in
low candle holders, but shorter ones in
the standard of average height Candles
Tor formal occasions are usually pale
cream in color or the color of the nat
ural wax, although candles which
carry cut a color scheme are per-
missible.
The hostess should be very careful
to see that the table is not cluttsFed
with too many decorations and aeess-
sories. The day OF elaborate place

tart part in making "leftovers" more
tasty. Usually twice-coaked food is
somewhat fiat and needs to be sharp
ened up bit by the addition of more
salt, pepper and sugar-the three es-
sential seasanings Here, as always,
sugar Is needed to help blend the other
favofs and create a harmonious whole.
There are what are known as
"boulaFds"-tasty, easily prepared. To
make them, slice cold roast meat In
thin slices, then make stufing of one
tomato, one onion, one carrot, three
hard-cooked eggs, a stalk of celery, a
spr1g OF parsley, bay leaf, a sprig
Of thyme, all chopped together. Ada
one tablespoonful of butter, eae-half
eupful of cracker crumbs and season
with a very little ginger, one teaspoon
full of sugar and salt and nepper to
taste.

Gently much research has been carried
on TO determine the value CT honey in
cookery, with the result that its use
is becoming more and more general In
this country. as 1t has been common
in Europe for many years.
Honey Is most useful in sweetening
lemonades and other fruit drinks. Either
the pure honey or mixture Of 1t with
sugar sifup will be found acceptable.
Honey can be used in place of moiasses
in bread, cakes, mullins and like foods,
and its use results in product that is
more delicate in flavor.
For little folk there is no dessert more
nutritious and heaithful than custard.
Have you ever made 1t with honey?
Here is a recipe that you will like:
Baked Honey Custafd-Five eggs, one
half eupful honey, four cupfuls scalded
milk, one-eighth teaspoonful powdered
cinnamon, one-quarter teaspoonful salt.
Beat the eggs slightly, but not until they
are foamy. Add the ether ingredients.
Bake in fcustard cups set in a large
pan OF water, using a moderate oven.
