to be rendered independent of the
burden of interest. In other words,
so-called interest slavery was to be
wiped out especially, and first Of all,
in agriculture.
Instead, a State grain. monopoly
has been formed with relatively high
fived prices and a limitation of pro-
duction. This aids the big land
owners, but greatly injuries the small
and middle peasantry, who are mostly
raisers of hogs, cattle and poultry
and must buy feed at the higher
prices. Further an inheritance mono
poly has been decreed; 1t makes pea

"FavoritiSm toward the Junkers OF
East Prussia, in the form of gigantic
agricultural credits, has been con-

So now the PrusSian landed gentry,

Thousands of Parisians mon
strated throughout Paris while ~ =
Chamber was in session. News of
the Chambers action brought re-
newed outbursts of indignation from
the demonstrators, who were kept
away from the Chamber by a huge
army Of police and military.
In the Chamber, the Communist
Deputies ruthlessly exposed the gov
eminent and its every step to balk
real investigation of the scandal,
involving Premier Chautemps and
other high officials, and exposed An
Dire Tardieu's connection with two
other scandals, when Tardieu at
tempted to defend the government.
Tardieu, in an effort to belittle the
looting of thousands Of Parisians, had
declared that politico-f1nancal scan
dals were not peculiar to France, but
had occurred in Great Britain, Bel
GUM and the U. S.. as well. The
Communist deputies retorted that the
scandals were peculiar to the capital
ist system which prevailed in the
countries named.
