Our first embarrassing moment al
the conference came when Mexico pro-
posed a 6-to-l0-year moratorium OH all
Latin American governmental debts
Fortunately, DIR. Lamas came forward
to object. He induced that conference
to refer the matter to the Inter -Ameri-
can High Commission, where it will rest
in peace, probably forever.
Nert the LatinS Uanted to seat
League of Nations observer. The
proposal t0ds shunted into q sub
committee, and Hull suggested it be
considered at the merit conference,
Jour years hence. The league may
not be aliue then. With the support
of Argentina that iDds DONE
Then along came the announcement
from Hull that the United States would
take the leadership in signing the Ar
gentine anti-war pact. 1t is as HARM
less as the Kellogg anti-war pact. and
worth Just about as little, from a prac-
tical standpoint.
Lamas got what he wanted. So did
Hull-at minimum cost.
Trade on Liquor Quotas.
Hull's assistant bargainers in the
department trading post here carefully
found out which nations were going
to make December IS payments or
their war debts, before our import
liquor quotas were announced.
Several other deals are still in the
making.
Foreign diplomats were just guessing
and running around from department
to department for days before the
quotas were issued Then the Liquor
Control Board made it quite clear that
the existing quotas are only for q
three-month period and will be re-
yised..
That keeps the bargaining point still
in our hands.
The sti1est direct competition for
our liquor market is between Eng
land and ireland.
Irish Minister MacWhite is trying
strenuously to muscle in. For weeks he
worked to figure out a scheme to beat
the British. He hit on the idea of in
creasing Irish purchases Of grain here
in return for q good Irish liquor quota
He has pushed the State Department
with memoes on that subject. He even
had Agriculture Secretary Wallace out
to dinner.
Put on Business Basis.
MacWhite Is speaking language the
administration understands.
The result is you will get more Irish
whisky here now than you did before
prohibition.
This may seem to be a somewhat
sordid business to idealists who think
international relations hinge on great
principles. However. no observer can
forget that every time we went to an
international conference with wings
and halo during the past Is years.
we usually got our wings singed and
lost Our halo. That also applies to our
handling of exchange and tariff policies
The practical basis of our new
method is clearly rooted in our unfor-
tunate international experiences of
the past.
Brags About Gold Leak.
The second big leak in the gold price
figure has been discovered without the
aid of the secret service. In fact, the
leak himself is Dragging about 1t.
A smart Washington broker figured
out that, inanuch as the figure is
given out at the same time each day,
he could arrange to have his London
brokerage connection on the telephone
at that moment BY that device he
scooped the regular cable services reg
ularly in London. He got the figure
here from public Wall Street ticker.

Johnson, Capt. Wray indicated he
wanted the jury to consider the possi-
bility that Crawford had actually killed
the two women.
Who knew the combination on the
lock Of that back door?" Capt Wray
asked, referring to peculiar type Of
latch, which, 1t was testified, locked
the door of the Ilsley cottage.
who was familiar with the rooms
Of that house?" he continued. Craw-
ford, the prosecutor said, must either
have done all the things he attributed
to johnson or else directed the other
man In committing the crime fact
which would make him equally guilty
under the law.
Judge Instructs Jury.
In the statement with which he dis
qualified himself for argument Of the
case, Galleher thanked Crawford's
counsel for the courtesy exhibited dur
ing the trial
In his instructions to the jury, Judge
McLemore had informed the jurors
they should remember that murder dur
ing burglary constitutes first-degree
crime: that in every case of q felony,
q principal in the second degree Chat
is an accomplice) shall be punished the
same as the agent: that it IS not neces-
sary to prove q motive In such a case
as this one: that the jury should give
an extra judicial confession just so
much weight as 1t sees fit, and that
the failure of the defendant to take the
stand has no significance IL determin-
ing his guilt or innocence.
Says He Expected to DIE"
Taking Of testimony In the trial had
been completed late yesterday after two
witnesses said Crawford told them he
expected to "die" for the double
murder.
Defense attorneys failed to put Craw-
ford on the stand and presented only
three witnesses, whose testimony had
no direct bearing on the death of Mrs.
Ilsley and Mrs. Euckner.

portunity for study.
One of these steps is the decision
of the Central Committee to organ
ize a ten-Week ful1-time training
school. The most active workers
from the basic industries and the
most important industrial centres
are being drawn into this School.
To make the work OF these COM
rades effective, they must be main
tanned while attending the School.
To raise the necessary funds for the
maintenance OF the School, the
Party has sent out an appeal for
funds to sympathetic organizations
and individuals. Some organizations
and individuals answered splendidly,
others have not as yet responded.
The sum asked is small and can be
easily raised by every organization.
All arrangements for the National
Training School are made. Its real
ization depends upon your inmedi-
ate response. Contributions to be
sent to A. Markoff, Treasurer, IS z.

Southern Mill Worker
Calls for Strug gle
Against $500 Wages

(By a Textile Worker Correspondent
CHARLOTTE, NC. = Fellow mill
workers, do you know that the MA
is closing up on you every day?
Every day your wages are being cut
by the high cost Of living, and still
you sit still and say, eve have got
to get together" But if you wait till
the MIRA. gets you union, you
will wait a long time.
The N.R.A. gives you the right to
join union. We have always had
that right. That is, If you will join
the A. r. OF L., the company union.
When the time comes, they will sell
you out.
The textile code calls for mini
mum wage Of $12. A cleaner is not
in the code there, and $3.50 is the
cleaners wages.
The N.R.A. calls for a living wage.
Now if $500 is a living wage, for
man and family then I will give up
and say on with slavery and the
MIRA.
The only way is to join union,
but not the sel1-out union, like the
A. F. of L., but a workers union, the
National Textile Workers Union,
that will not sell you out.

Code Allows Wool
Plant 12-Hour Shift
in Weymouth, Mass.
(By a Worker Correspondent


EAST BRAINIREE, Mass.-A n
emergency clause in the Wool code
allows wool securing plant in Wey-
mouth to work 12-hour shift. It's
a wonder workers can't get some
emergency clauses" in that code for
themselves.
In Rockland, Mass, is the App
Shoe Co. This company was forced
to leave a town in New Hampshire
when workers there refused to toler-
ate sweatshop conditions. This was
before the N. r. A. They now, how
ever, still maintain a reputation for
low wages and sweatshop conditions.
Since the N. R. A. they have re-
sorted to considerable trickery in
their effort to stay within even the
capitalist law. For instance, when
workers do not make the minimum
wage, which is quite often, they are
either threatened Or deliberately
fired. Continually there is weekly
process of hiring and firing.
The seleetmen Of Rockland have
boosted, with the opening of this
shoe shop, of the increasing indus
trial activity which has been influ-
enced by the N. r. A. 1t is to be
regretted that only the brotherhood
union is at hand to organize these
workers, but when this bureaucratic
union is exposed in some treacherous
act revolutionary union will proba-
bly, tell Mr.. App where to get off.

be developed. Practice must be-
guided by revolutionary theory. 1t
is the duty of every Party member
and revolutionary worker to equip
himself theoretically. Only by COM
'sining theory with practice can one
become an effective leader in the
class struggle. Only guided by Marx
ism-Leninism can victories Of the
working class against the capitalist
class be won.
The attacks OF the capitalist class
and its State, through the NR.A.,
upon the working class and the toll
ing masses, is becoming more and
more vicious Large sections Of the
working-class and toiling farmers
are resisting this attack. Bloody
struggles are taking place every day.
These struggles can be won through
organization on revolutionary
basis. The leadership Of these strug-
giles must be resourceful, possess mi
tiative, perseverance, tenacity and
self Sacrifice. These qualities can be
developed only in struggles and
through diligent study Of revolution
airy theory. "Theory,--Stalin says
when it is genuine theory, gives prac-
teal workers the power Of orienta-
ton, clarity of perspective, faith in
their work, confidence in the victory
Of our cause"
The Central Committee OF the
Party is making every effort to
broaden its educational activities, and
many steps are being taken to diff
fuse the knowledge Of Marzisrn-
Ieninism through the Party and
among the masses of revolutionary
workers
A number Of workers in the field,
that have proven their devotion to
the working class and the Party,
show ability and willingness to self
sacrifice, must be given a better op-

Over 5000 Shoe

HAVERHILL, Mass.-Over 5000

Iof the militant workers who were
wise to it. Everybody believed that
there would be no more unemploy-
ment-higher wages and prosperity
for everybody. The press certainly
did the job for their masters.
Especially the leaders Of the Shoe
Workers Protective Union led the
workers to believe this bunk. Every
time workers protested about shop
conditions and wages the union
leaders, Kelleker, Leo Toffe, Ham
ilton, Nolan and the rest of these
guys would say, "Wen the MIRA is
here and the government will stop
all this stuff. We don't have to
worry"
We militant shoe workers in the
Protective union pointed out that if
we depend on waiting till someone
does omething for us well never get
anything, but we must enforce those
promises given to us In the MIRA
program.

full Of articles shouting plenty Jobs.
ETC., bang, in two weeks over 5000

poured in the minds Of the workers

ago, was called off only through
the bull-dozing Of the workers by
the hated business agents Patsy

a downtown Young Communist

calling upon the workers themselves
to organize, a group in the shop
