Dollar Sinks to &C.,,
Lowest In 100 Years

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Under ter
rifle attack of selling the Ameri-
can dollar plunged downward today
to the lowest point in 100 years,
reaching a value Of go cents.
AS a result the English pound
sterling is now quoted at record
high OF S515. This means that the
Roosevelt government is pressing ag-
gressively forward into the foreign
markets formerly controlled by Brit
ain. The financial movement reflects
the bitter imperialist fight between
the U. S. and Britain for foreign
markets.
The Roosevelt government has re-
Taxed foreign exchange restrictions,
SO that American spectators and
rich investors are now shipping their
fortunes out Of the country to escape
the effects of the approaching issu-
ance of inflationary currency which
is now admitted to be inevitable.
AS the Roosevelt government Is
driven along the road of increasing
initiation by the failure of the N.R.A.
to solve the crisis, the credit Of the
United States government is coming
under a cloud. Government bonds
dropped sharply.
The result of the continued drop
here will be that the wages paid to
workers will be able to buy less food,
ETC., effecting cut in real wages
for the entire working class.

Talks Set
for Today
BY MARGUERITE YOUNG
washington Bureau

DAILY Worker, Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON Nov. "a meeting
between Maxim Litvinoff and Pres!-
dent Roosevelt was suddenly post
poned today by the DepartIAe-lO OF
State, White House merely saying
that the conference was being de-
layed until tomorrow at noon, at the
request Of the State Department.
Previously everything had pointed
to an early official announcement of
success in the conversations toward
formal recognition by the United
States of the Workers and Farmers
Government of Soviet Russia. The
Litvinoff Roosevelt Conference was
scheduled for S P. M. just q few
minutes before this time, the White
House made the announcement OF
the postponement. .....
The Soviet Information Bureau
said it had no information as to the
developments.
The closest-hpped attitude was
maintained by everyone actually in
the conferences. Significantly, how
ever, Litvinoff and Secretary Of
State Cordell Hull emerged-beam-
ing-from a two-hour parley today
with the information that no fur
ther conferences between them had
been set. 1t was assumed, therefore,
that they must have basis of agree
ment to report to Roosevelt at the
meeting late today. Hull is leaving
Saturday for Montevideo. He enter
tanned Litvinoff today at a lunch
con redolent of the official courte-
sizes that pass between the repre-
sentatives Of countries already hav-
ing full diplomatic relations.
It has been said in official quar-
tiers that the method OF procedure
in the conversations is that of can
ceiling barriers against normal rela-
lions, one against the other, in both
governments memoranda. 1t is un-
derstood that the process simply
amounts to determining methods
and machinery for handling most of
the problems later. For the prac-
tice of getting to the heart of prob
lens Immediately, Litvinoff is world
famous. And into his conversations
with Hull he walked without brief
case, without an expert. 1t was
only after the State Department
called in advisors that the Russian
CommiSsar summoned his own.
He withdrew after the luncheon to
confer with his own small party in
the Soviet Information Bureau
headquarters. in preparation for his
meeting with Roosevelt.

cotton crops. It issued a call for sim
liar kilograms to be sent to the Sher-

against Dimitroff.
The Nazi prosecutor, representing
leaders whose perverse sexual lives
are recorded on court and hospital
records, accused Dimitroff Of being
a Don Juan. Dimitroff only laughed
and said these charges did not merit
the dignity of a reply.
Again witness was brought in
by the court whose testimony re-
vealed that she was Nazi spy. This
witness was q charwoman named
Schneider, who said she helped q
charweman named Kaspsizer clean
the rooms in which Dimitroff lived.
Another Missing Witness
AS In the case OF the waiter
Aschinger, the charwoman Kaspeizer
died under mysterious circumstances.
There was, therefore, nbody to con-
tradict the testimony of the Schrei-
Der woman.
This woman asserted that Dimi-
troff lived under the name Of DR..
Jan Schaafman, next door to the
well-known Communist leader, Eber-
lein. Her knowledge about these
men, she said, was gained from the
wastepaper basket.
Asked whether she saw any po-
litical documents in Dinlitroff's
