Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

I'll MUNDO, Havana.-Each loaf
- of bread sold in this capital
is required to weigh a full
IL pound under the provisions of
the edict ratified by the munich
pal authorities. It has been discovered,
however, that a majority of the loaves
do not weigh more than or 10 ounces.
A commission has now been appointed
through efforts of the National Associa-
tion of Workers to secure a senatorial
investigation of the matter. and 1t is
likely that in future the selling Of bread
will be so regulated that there will be
no further possibility of fraud. All es-
Establishments selling bread and other
vital necessities, under the new regI-
lations, must provide scale or balance,
easily accessible to the public. wherein
the latter may weigh their own pur-
chases. The proprietors of retail stores
will be held primarily responsible and
culpable in the sales of short-weight
commodities and they must look for
redress and restitution to the sources
from which they obtained the goods.
Their clerks and other employees will
not be considered blameworthy except
in cases wherein they are employed as
itinerant 'house-to-houSe" vendors.

HITLER FAILS TO
SEE SCHLEICHER
Plan New Attacks on
Workers

BERLIN, Nov. 30.-The conference
announced for today between Ad-
olph Hitler, leader of the National
Socialist Fascist) Party, and Gen
eral Kurt Won Schleicher, Defense
Minister and the real power in the
Won Papen cabinet, failed to come
off. Hitler was reported TO have
gone to his headquarters at Weimar
instead, where several of his cad
ing henchmen have been summoned.
The Schleicher- Hitler conference
was arranged as part of the secret
negotiations that have been carried
on behind the backs of the masses
in an effort to set up a more ruth
less fascist dictatorship, with cab
met governing without parliament
and receiving the support of the Ma
ziS. The steady intenSification of
the economic crisis and the growing
resistance of the workers, as repre-
sented in the parliamentary victor
les of the Communist Party and the
great strike wave sweeping the
country, have sharpened the antag-
onisms inside the bourgeois camp
and made the job of organizing a
cabinet all the more difficult.

COOLIDGE GROUP
FOR R.R. PAY CUT
Build Committees to
Resist Cuts

NEW YORK, Nov, 30.-The Natl

ed by Calvin Coolidge, has prepared
a report urging 4snother general wage
slash against thSsfainoad workers CT
the United States. The wage-cut is
to take place in February when the
present agreement expires If coupon
clippers of the Transportation Com
mittee and the government have
their way.
The advisory committee met Tues
day in the Hotel Biltmore and listened
to the reading of a brief prepared by
r. H. Ashton. Among those attend
ing the meeting were Atterbury of the
Pennsylvania, Willard of the Balti-
more and Ohio, L. A. Downs Of the
Illinois Central, Carl A. Gray Of the
Union Pacific, Hale Holden chairman
OF the Southern Pacific. Most the
other big lines were represented.

The enemy press service, the Asso-
Clated Press III particular winch Iur-
rishes propaganda against the work
ing class to thousands of papers, re-
ports that the Committee is primarily
concerned with Keeping secure the
American public's investment of ele-
ven billion dollars in bonds and other
promissory paper of the railroads. "
More than 70 per cent of this paper is
in the hands of banks, insurance COM
panies and similar institutions, while
most of the rest is held in big. blocks
by the biggest banks and spectators.
1t is this that the press refers to as
the public--a handful of parasites
whose intrest on investments are
placed first and at the expense of
the railroad workers.
This new move of the Coolidge
committee for new general wage cut
will meet with resistance on the part
Of the workers who are in ever larger
numbers becoming convinced that
they must set up their own rank and
file strike machinery to defeat wage
cuts and the hunger drive of the
bosses.

u. S. GRABS FROM
BRITAIN IN PERSIA
Sharpen Danger of
Imperialist War

The U. S. imperialists have just
succeeded in having the Persian gov
eminent annul vast concession to their
British rivals in the Anglo-Persian
Oil Company and to fayorably con-
slider the granting Of virtual mono
poly of the Persian automobile and
rubber trades to the General Motors
and Firestone interests directly over
the heads Of British competitors"
The Persian action reflects also the
growing colonial rebellion against i'm
perialist exploitation which, in this
case, the U. S. imperialists are util-
izing for their own interests in their
struggle with their British rivals.
q. S. Ships Persia Arms.
It was also revealed that the IN
tied States is shipping huge quantities
of arms and munitions to Persia, that
a consignment of airplane engines re-
Gently left New York for Persian ports
and that the United Aircraft and
Transport Corporation Of New York
shipped in early November, forty
Pratt 81 Whitney Hornet engines with
d uudllblGy VI DJd4C POI % hAAG ~ "
propellers. The shipment totalled
several hundred thousand dollars.
The aunulment by Persia of the
British concessions was followed by q
sharp drop i'll the value Of British oil
stocks and an emergency conference
between the Persian Minister to Bri-
tain and Sir Henri Deterding, head
of the Royal Dutch Shell Company.
Increase War Danger
1t was admitted in Wall Street
circles that negotiations had been un-
der way with the Persian Government
for some time" James D. Mooney,
president of the General Motors Ex-
port Company, boosted that General
Motors has many friends among the
Persians." General Motors, it was
said, would pay some consideration
for the concession. but it was not re-
vealed whether this would be in the
nature of arms shipment or loans
that could be used for arms purchase.
This move increases the danger OF an
imperialist war between the U. S. and
Great Britain.
