Press). Communist demonstrations
are to be held In all the countries or
the world from April 15 to 22 as part

resolution adopted at the closing ses
sion of the International communist
conference here. This week, the reso
lution gays, shall also Include demon
strations against the treaty of Ver
sailles, the danger of war and against
fascism.
The resolution embodies 18 general
principles with supplementary individ
ual programs from the conimunistB of
the various European countries. It
provides for an International commit
tee of action consisting of 21 members.
To this committee Is assigned the task
qt uniting all political and economic
organizations of laborers for "the
huttle against International Imperial
ism." and the eventual summoning of
ai Internationale congress of workers.
yThe German communists are in
structed to work particularly for the
downfall of Premier Polncare of
Prance and the overthrow of the Cuno
government In Germany,
i Clara Zetkln, one of the speakers,
denounced the fascisti movement and
advocated boycotting the Italian fas
cist!.. She declared that within a few
Weeks past 8000 workmen had been
ifept to jail by the fascisti. The most
effective weapon, she argued, would
be tho prevention of Italiun Imports
ehtering the United States and Eng
land, .'without which . Italy cannot

have been arrested by Uclgian patrols
In Gladbach and Uottrop and Impris
oned on charges of having In their
possession copies of newspapers pub
lished in unoccupied Germany, the ap
pearance of which is forbidden in the
occupied area.
In German semiofficial quarters It
Is stated that the arreBts are In pursu
ance of a new order by the French
authorities setting forth that certain
German newspapers have been pub
lishing false reports to the effeet that
the slayers of the two French officials
recently shot here were not GerraauB
but Alpine chasseurs.
The order provides for the arrest of
any person selling or possessing a
copy of such a newspaper. A Dort
mund dispatch says two German news
paper carriers have been atreBted
there and transported from the city.

tween unoccupied Germany and the
Ruhr Is prohibited between 8 p. m. and
5 a. m., according to a regulation by

tlmated world surplus," Mr. Hoover
said. '
"Mr. Manlv Is about a month be
hind the times In his proposed in
vestigation into the rise in price. Un
der authority of congress to investi
gate combinations of foreign produc
ers of Import commodities, this de
partment, as soon as applications
were available on March 4, Instituted
an Investigation Into the situation in
Cuhar. As the department has no
jurisdiction in domestic quostlons of
the kind, I informally suggested to
the chairman of the federal trade
commission that It should undertake
this end of the matter.
"I wrote to Senator Brookhart, re
publican, Iowa, on February 26, In
this connection a letter which was
read Into the Congressional Record
as follows:
" 'I am In receipt of your lotter of
February 23. Tho only laws at all
related to the subject to which you
refer, aro the restrulnt of trade acts
ns well as all other war regulations
have long since boon repealed by con-
groes. This department ncssnrlly had
no knowledge of any corner In sugar,
as such matters aro dealt with by the
department of justice and federal
trado comm'sslon. As to the quos
t'.ou of sugar supply, a world survey
made by this department showed that
the stocks of sugar on hand from last
year plus the production of this year
were estimated at a total of 19,511
000 tons whereas the consumption
for tho year was estimated at 19,
0:15,000 tons, leaving a probablo Bur-
plus at the end of tho year of 470,-
000 tons Some mlsconcoptlon has
arisen because the estimated surplus
of tho year Bhowed a decrease from
tho abnormal stocks at tho beginning
of the year. There is obviously no
'hortage In sugar and moreover, an
undue Increase In price will decrease
consumption.
"I would be delighted to see any
Impart'al inquiry Into the specula
tion which has brought about a rise
In tho price of sugar or any other
phase of tho matter. There Ib noth
ing that tho federal administration
wishes more thnn to Bee a reasonable
price and a stable market In sugar
and other commodities without spec
ulation. "I regrot to see Mr, Manly circu
lating tho legend that the department
stated there was a Bhortage of sugar
at this only tends to benefit tho spec
ulators and tho department made no
such statement.
Unfortunately one of tho news
agencies misinterpreted one of the
uhuhI semi-nnnunl statistical state
ments of tho department, hut tho mo
ment It was lii-ought to my attention
It was Immediately corrected In the
Pi-ohh. Mr. Manly In rather cuptloim
In blaming a rnblnet officer for the
size of typo which newspapers use
in statistical tables.
As to Mr. Manly's discovery of
the supposed sugar conspiracy n year
ago on his own statements (which
I confirm) my part wns that I told
tho Cuban officials who came to
Washington that If they wanted to
set up a restriction In the then over
production of sugar, Jointly with
American beet producers, they would
have to get the npproval of congress.
Needless to say, tills was never obtained.

Inasmuch as tho number of mem
berships fell short of the goal of 600
which the workers set yesterday, a
discussion was held as to the means
of making up the deficit. Thirty-five
of those present said they would take
out memberships for another mem
her of their families, so that two
members could pay $12.50 dues In
stead of one paying $25. Several
others volunteered to give their time
tomorrow to catching up the loose
ends In the campaign and thus swell
ing the total.
Vernon Vawtor pointed out the in
sufficiency of the budget which is at
present about $2500 below the nec
essary amount to carry out tho cham
ber's activities. He suggested that
those who did not subscribe to the
publicity and service fund be asked to
make a donation for the solo purpose
of getting out an elaborate Medford

The question of elections to the
Board of Directors was brought up
and Harry Wather asked that the
now members got somo new blood on
the board. Two parties each with
a platform were suggested as a means
of making the elections more spirited.

DUESSELDORF, Mar. 22. (By As
sociated Press). Belgian troops have
occupied Krupp harbor at Hochem
merich on the Rhine near Dulsberg
for the purpose of controlling exports
from this harbor and the collection of
the ten per cent tax on goods shipped.
All kinds of smuggling tricks have
been resorted to by the Germans in
bringing money from Berlin into the
occupied area.
Various government officials, ac
cording to the French, are being used
to further passive resistance measures
The French claim the Germans are
using the banks and postofflces as
well as individuals, to bring money
into the Ruhr. In Duesseldorf, the
French seized at a postofflce 15,000,
000 marks which had been sent there
for one of the strike leaders to collect
and distribute among the working
men under government pay.
upon the concern voiced by various
speakers over Great Britain's inferior
ity in the air.
The general conclusion Is that there
Is ample justification for uneasiness
I in the country's defenselessness and
that the Inequality is too dangerous to
be allowed to continue. Friendship
with France, It is pointed out, will not
be less sincere If Britain's air strength
Ib put on an equal footing.
