penters Brotherhood, 81. RACE has
been working for the Capitol Dairy

Debt Accord
Expected Soon
With U. S. r.

YOKOHAMA, Dec. 27.-Alexander
Iroyanovsky, Soviet Ambassador to
the United States, before leaving
here for America expressed his con-
fidence that the debt problem exist
ing between the two countries would
soon be settled.
This would commence a large ex-
pansion of trade between the two
countries, the Ambassador predicted.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. = The
frank declaration of Ambassador
1royanoysky in Yokohama that he
was confident that the Soviet Union
ana the United States would soon
llquidate their debt problem gave
rise here yesterday to the belief that
a formula for settlement had been
arrived at and that soon after Troy
anoVsky reached Washington the
agreement would be announced.
Ambassador Troyanovsky's an
nouncement came on the same day
as the arrival of Ivan E. Boyeff in
New York to become chairman OF
the board of the Amtorg Trading
Corporation, Soviet trading body in
America.
During the past few months rep
resentatives of American industry
and finance have been visiting the
Soviet, to pave the way for increased
trade, which they believe will follow
on a debt agreement. The Soviet
Union, too, has sent to the United
States an increased number of rep.
resentatives of its state trust. More
than forty engineers and purchas-
Ing agents have visited here in the
past few months and more are due
soon.

Again and again the masses are
rising against their torturers.

one of its leaders. While denying
his direct participation in the muir
der of Kirov, Kotolinov, however,
admitted that as an active member
and the leader of this group he
bears responsibility for the crime.
Shatski pleaded not guilty, but is
implicated by the testimony of
Nikolaev, Kotolinov and others of
the accused. Sokolov pleaded guilty
to being member Of the under
ground terrorist group, denying
direct participation in the prepara-
tons for the murder Of Kirov.

Zinovievites. Mandlstam pleaded
guilty both to belonging to this
group and to being member of
the "Leningrad Center" Tolnazov
pleaded guilty to belonging to the
above mentioned group. Levin
pleaded guilty to being one of
the leaders of the Leningrad I'M
foreground group Of the former
zinovievites. Hank and Myasnikov
also pleaded guilty on the same
charge. Sositsky pleaded guilty to
belonging to the "Leningrad Center"
and to knowing the terroristic
methods of the members of the I'M
foreground anti-Soviet group of the
former ZinovieyiteS.
The social position of all the ac-
cused was that of Office workers and
students, former members of the
Communist Party expelled for be-
longing to zinoviev's anti-Soviet
group and reinStated after their
hypocritical repentance.
Their crimes come under clauses

ticularly in towns where the Ameri-
can Newspaper Guild is not yet or
ganized, states:
1.-THE formation of the American
Editorial League by four former
Guild members now on the Ledger
staff, and one strikebreaker, rep
resents an obvious attempt by L.
T. Russell, publisher, to form a
company union, the type of en-
ployee organization which has been
thoroughly discredited. Joseph Dom
ovan, the registered agent, was the
last Guild man to join the strike
and the only one of the strikers to
go back to work"
Russell's initiative in forming the
company union is further con-
flrmation Of the fact that Russell
is holding out in face of tremen-
dous decrease in the circulation of
his paper, and with consequent great
financial losses, only because he is
backed by powerful newspaper in
tereSts who want to smash the
American Newspaper Guild.

Monopolists'
Profits Safe
In Power Plan

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. = Con-
fronted with the recommendations
Of government engineers for ma
tion-wide coordination of all cleo
trio power production, President
Roosevelt yesterday fastened to
make it clear that whatever steps
the government will take in utility
regulation or construction will be
entirely within the limits of CO.
operation with the Wall Street
private monopolies.
Discussing the report submitted
to him by the Mississippi Valley
commission of the P. w. A. on cleo
trio power. Roosevelt also made it
clear that the localities will prob
ably have to bear the costs of the
utility construction.
The report submitted to Roose-
welt by the engineers paints a re-
marlsable picture of the immense
electric resources which are going
to waste under the present set-up
Of capitalist monopoly.
"The production and distribution
of electricity, more than most other
factors, demands a unified national
SYSTEM" the report states.
But, the report goes on to re-
assure the Wall Street nonopones
that "it should not be difficult to
reconcile the public and private In
terests involved :" meaning the
protection of monopoly ownership
and profits.
A picture of actual degradation
of living standards of the ruraI
population was given by the report
which showed that 100000 farms
have no electric service at all, only
100000 farms were electrified, ano
of these only $4,000 had "higt
power" service.

WOrkerS'EnemieS
Exposed

David L. Jones, of Dearborn,
Mich, has been expelled by the
Michigan District Of the Commu-
mist Party for betraying the inter-
ests Of the working class in Dear
born and for supporting Democratic
Party candidates in the 1894 cleo
tons.
David L. Jones admitted, in a
letter to the District Committee,
that he put up placards for the
Democratic candidate running in
the primaries, Swiacki, for which
he received pay. He stated that
this constitutes direct support to
the Democratic machine who are
the enemies and exploiters of the
working class; and that such an
act can only be construed as de-lN
parture from working class prin-
ciples and from the Communist
Party. The Party would be justi-
fed in expelling me from its ranks.
Such actions not only violate the
principles Of the Party but serve
to aid the Republican and Demo-
cratic Parties who, not only
generally, but especially in the Ford
Domain, are sold body and soul to
the exploiters Of the workers" In
his letter, he also stated that he
realized his mistakes and asked
that the District Committee take
into consideration his opportunistic
past and give him further OPP
portunity to show in practice that
he could be trusted by the Party
and the workingclass.
Notwithstanding this letter, David
L. Jones, continued secretly and,
in the last part of the recent cam
paign, openly to work for the
Democratic candidates, for which
work he received pay and the
promise of a job. Jones has, there
fore, shown that he is not to be
taken at his word.
In this election campaign, he con-
tinued the same treacherous acti-
vities which were evidenced in the
campaign Of 1888, in Dearborn,
when he ran as the united front
candidate for Mayor. At that time,
he negotiated with Democratic poll
ticians to secure their support for
his candidacy in return for support
which he was to give for the Demo-
cratic candidates to the city coun-
Gil. Because of the vigilance Of the
workers, however, Jones was not
able to carry out such an agree
ment at that time. But now he has
completely gone to the class enc
mics.
Jones joined the Communist
Party in 1888. Prior to this time,
he was in Flint and worked with
the local politicians and formed
part of the McKeighan machine.
He was arrested as bootlegger in
Flint and was released on parole
for two years. Before Flint, he
lived in Pontiac where he was
a chiropractor.
Jones has proven himself to be
characte.ess, opportunistic job
seeker, ready to sell himself to the
highest bidder, one who is not to-
be trusted in any respect.
The Communist Party in ex-
polling him from its ranks calls
upon the workers of Detroit and
Dearborn to be on guard against
this tool of the capitalist class.
The Communist Party calls upon
the auto workers and in particular
upon the Ford workers and upon all
honest and class conscious workers,
to rally around the Communist
Party and to answer the betrayal
of Jones by joining the ranks of
the Party Of the working class
the Communist Party.

the Negro territory, we demand the

Negro and white agents.

for the right of Negroes to belong to
all unions, to the American Fedora
