alries tearing the capitalist world
asunder are clearly expressed. In
Latin America; Bolivia, Paraguay,
Colombia, and Peru are entangled in
struggles, prepared and coached by
the rival forces of British and Amer
lean imperialism. each of which is
intent on controlling these markets.
In the Far East, the war on the
Chinese people bears the germ of an
onslaught ON the Soviet Union at the
same time that it makes tenser the
situation between Japan and the
United States.
Combat Danger Immediately.
Enough has been written and said
on these struggles to make clear the
danger that this situation presents to
the free people of Russia, and to the
workers and sincere intellectuals of
the world. This danger must be
combatted Immediately. The youth
Of the world would have, as always,
to bear the greatest burden of ma

and shown the way to defeat that
fate. To delay is suicidal.
The young workers of the Soviet

SEABURY PLAN IS

Charter Proposal Hits
At Workers
BY JAMES CASEY

NEW YORK-A bankers dicta-
torship! This is the new yoke pro-
posed for the working masses of AM
erica's greatest metropolis.
With New York City having ex-
ceeded its debt limit and hundreds
of thousands of men, women and
children starving, finance capital, in
order to save its immense invest
ments in bonds, has contrived to
openly take over all the public build
ings, the control of the budget and
the administration. This is the es-
sence of Samuel Seabury's latest re-
port to the Hofstadter Investigating
Committee.
The program is by no means Sea-

first by Alfred E. Smith, spokesman

Tammany Looted City Treasury
Through the steady looting by the
Tammany robber machine, the city
treasury has been drained to the
bottom, while public debt of 81
100000 900 has been foiSted upon the
backs of millions of workers and
overburdened small taxpayers. Not
only do the bankers demand this
money, but they are clamoring for
$200,000,000 interest per annum on
the debt. In the three years of the
crisis, with industries topping, un-
employment increasing and wage
cuts the order of the hour, the bank
ers bought up issues upon issues OF
city, state and federal bonds.
In doing this, they were consolid-
ating their own assets at the price of
suffering and starvation on the part
of the nations workers and farmers.
Now, to safeguard their securities,
they are shouting for higher taxes
and assessments, and on more

The Associated Press now admits

reason it places 1894 votes for Ford,
in California, where the Party was

figures, then is: 103,779. The vote
admitted by capitalist sources for

an increase of more than double

There is evidence of wholesale

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2S.-
Safety provisions were completely
lacking in the Shafer mine at Now
eaqua, Ill, where the 81 unemployed
miners were killed the day before
Christmas.
This admission Is made here by
Daniel Harrington, chief Of the safety
division of the U. S. Bureau Of Mines.
He stated today that reports from
his agents in Mowequa were to the
effect that the mine was burning
when the men went below, that there
was no rock busting to prevent coal
dust explosions, and that the men
had to work with open lights, .ensur-
ing a gas explosion as soon as there
was enough gas.
The fire in the Moweaqua mine
generated the gas. The miners knew
the dangers, but as they we're starry
ing and this was the only form of
relief given, they had to go down.
More Found Dead
MOWEAQUA. H., Dec. 28.-Six

Reforsstation

New York State. which has always re- tained a large part of its original public domain. especially in the Adirondack region. is now going right ahead with it's reforesta- tion program and increasing the domain. New purchases of private land up to July l -totaIIed more than l40, acres. of which nearly half has been replanted. Various other states are getting into the game. Mieh- isan announces new public domain in the form of l2 state forests comprising nearly 750,000 acres, once heavily timbered then cut and burned over. and now being refor- ested. It has been easy for the state to ae- quire this land again because much of it is being discarded by its private owners. as not worth holding and paying taxes on, and nearly all of the remainder is bought back eheaply. More than 100000 acres have already been replanted with native pine.
 Thus the state, instead of having this natural resource steadily depleted, sees it gradually restored for the pleasure and profit of its people. The new forests become again hunting and fishing grounds and paradise for campers. More than half the states in the Union are in position to adopt similarly foresighted policy. It seems re- aetionary in one way. It means letting cleared land revert to wilderness. But it IS evident by this time that the clearing of the land for agricultural. purposes has been greatly overdone that there is less area needed for farming and more for timber and recreation. This situation will doubtless continue for long time to come. unless we start admitting hordes of immigrants again.

Grabbing Greenland

A heated controversy" is said to have been precipitated by another coup on the part of Norway. seizing new strip of southeastern Greenland The present row involves very thin strip. only two miles wide and 10 minutes of latitude long. The Norwegians probably want it for fishing and whaling rather than an ice supply. They have plenty of ice in other holdings.
 Denmark, which has laid claim to ali Greenland strenuously objects. The two countries can fight it out without much at- tention from Uncle Sam. Though we have been credited with ambitions to own the whole North American continent. we never think of Greenland except in midsum- mel. as a possible place to cool off. The big. iec-eovered island may be habitable some day, as the glaciers melt and the ice field fades horthward = maybe in 10000 or 10000 years. But we have more imme- diate problems here at home. Thawing our vast field of frozen resources and glacial credit, for instance.

DANGEROUS BUSINESS
(Hartford Times)

Notwithstanding that the two- thirds rule defeated Champ Clark in 1912, and defeated the conven- tion hopes of both William Gibbs McAdoo and Alfred E.. Smith in 1924, the limitation it puts on the will of a bare majority originated in the mind of a great democrat and 1t may have value. In any event 1t has been tenet of the party since 1892 when the first na- tional convention of the party, at the direction of Andrew Jackson, nominated Martin Van Buren. The recently declared intention of the Roosevelt faction, under the leads ership of James. A. Farley, to seek abrogation of the rule, does not impress us as a wise one and we shall besurprised if it is not aban- doned.
 Senator Glass, of West Virginia. commenting upon the matter. has expressed view which should ap- peal to the good sense of the con- vention:
 wouldn't support any man who takes the short cut that way. If the democrats want to recommend abolition of the two- thirds rule at the next convention, four years hence. that is a different propost- tion, but to pull snap play like this in the middle of the game is not playing the game as see 1t.
 That Is the way the country would look at 1t. The move would be regarded, not as a show of
