Movement to Coin Control of World Trade Washington, Dec. 8.?The movement launched by the Third or Communist Internationale at Moscow to gain control of the trade and industrial unions throughout the world "is meeting with marked success in so far as it relates to syndicalist unions In the United States," says the first annual report today of Attorney General Daugherty. Communist parties in this country, Mr. Daugherty says, have united to more effectively carry on propaganda and the policy is to endeavor to gain control of the labor organizations through the control of the executive committees or. other governing bodies therein. "Many of the leaders of this movement are American citizens," he says, "though they are subject to orders from Moscow as to their action and activities in the United States." The Attorney General says there has been a noticeable effort "upon the part of various socalled defense societies to propagate and carry on agitation in behalf of the ultraradicals in the United States." "Inconspicuous individuals in the ultraradical movement apprehended locally/' he dserts, "are martyred and propaganda started in their behalf, I not only within the United States, but throughout the entire world. In many instances the socalled defense organizations are found to be merely a camouflage for such movements as the United Communist Party which must conduct its activities underground." Foreign propagandists still are [locking to the United States, according to the report, which notes that 127 of them arrived in the last fiscal pear. The movements, the nature and the extent of the activities of these individuals have been carefully observed, it is stated, and the government has been kept "intimately informed." "During the past fiscal year," the report continues, "the activities of foreign propagandists in the United States hkve been particularly noticeable and careful attention has been ;iven to this pernicious form of work within this country. It is impossible to accurately estimate the vast amount of money spent in the United States by the foreign agents engaged in exploiting the American people and in creating interest in a support for movements and schemes entirely foreign to the interests of the American people." Calling attention that activities of the federal government in dealing with ultraradicalism are limited by law to aliens, Mr. Daugherty notes that practically all of the states now liave enacted laws defining and punishing criminal syndicalism and anarchy. These laws reach the citizen as well as the alien. The dealing with ultraradicalism is only one of the many activities of the Department of Justice during the past fiscal year which are reviewed in the Attorney General's report. He calls attention that while the department ceased last January its activities in the enforcement of prohibition, it is continuing to cooperate in this work. The attorney general observes that "there has been no decrease in the number of illicit distilling cases since the enactment of the prohibition laws," and that "the court calendar in some jurisdictions have been overtaxed by this class of cases." "Where the facts warrant," he says, 'the offenders have been vigorously prosecuted, and it is hoped that this will result in a material reduction of juch violations of the law." Selective Service Act cases disposed >f during the year numbered 1,803, the report says, the convictions numbering 148 with 130 pleas of guilty. Cases pending at the beginning of the last fiscal year numbered 28,087 and 1,331 new cases were begun. Violations of the socalled disloyalty sections of the espionage act have greatly decreased, according to the report, which notes that only six rases were begun under the entire act during the fiscal year, while 41 cases were disposed of, 130 cases having been docketed at the beginning of the year. Mr. Daugherty declares that as an organized system the white slave traffic has been broken up, but adds that a great many individual cases still exist with the department making every effort to break up this practice also. Complaints arising under'the Peonage Act increased during the year, the report continues, "and peonage was found to exist to a shocking extent in Georgia, Alabama and some parts of Texas." Several convictions have been obtained and several prosecutions are pending, it is added. Among his specific recommendations, the attorney general asks for enactment of legislation. Authorizing the appointment of two federal judges at large for each of the nine judicial districts in order to assist inclearing the congested court dockets; Making it a criminal offense to send through the mails letters threatening injurv to life or property; Authorizing the presence of stenographers in grand jury rooms; Making it a crime for a single individual to defraud or attempt to defraud the federal government in any manner, as the law now provides for the punishment of "two or more persons who conspire to defraud." Making criminal an attempt to commit a crime against the United States. Limiting the compensation to be re ceived by referees in bankruptcy. An average spruce tree yields about 600 pounds of paper. Jonah Would be Amazed at Change Jaffa, Palestine, Dec. 8.?(By the Associated Press).?If the prophet Jonah should return within the next1 few months to this little atavistic port, whence he set sail some 2,0001 years ago on his tempestuous voy- j age, he probably would be amazed at the metamorphosis. After all these centuries, modernism, in the fdrm of a 20th century harbor, is about to make its commer- j cial encroachments upon this basking seashore, whose name was Joppa when Jonah knew it. For some years, particularly since 'the British occupation, a harbor for Palestine has been talkod of, but only now is this dream of easy ingress and egress to and from the cradle of Christianity about, to be realized. An Italian banking syndicate, having satisfied itself that great commercial possibilities are wrapped up in new-old Palestine, has offered to advance the necessary capital, subject to adequate governmental guarantees, and the actual work is soon expected to begin. The plan call for the expenditure of a sum ont to exceed $7,000,000, to be retired with interest within M0 years. The harbor is to be located directly opposite the section of the old city of Bible times, making the pres*ent custom house a central point from which the extension will be made northward and southward. It is to comprise three sections, one devoted entirely to freight and passen-; ger ships, one to shipbuilding and re pairing and one- to fishing. Lack of proper harbor facilities has been one of the greatest impediments to commercial development of Palestine, and, consequently, the inhabitants are looking with keen anticipation upon the time when large ships can dock easily on Palestine's shores. When the weather is stormy and the sea rough, it is now practi - J cally impossible for boats to come even wht.hin three miles of land, where even in mild weather all ships have to be loaded and unloaded with the aid of small, obsolete craft. Thus it is estimated at least $1,000,000 a year can be saved on the loadnig and unloading item alone, to say nothing of the inevitable effect better shipping facilities will have on the cost of living, which is now excessively high. Commensurate with harbor improvements, the city of Jaffa itself, is making plans to come out of its; lethargy and reap rich rewards. In-! dependent commercial interests already are laying plans to develp 4 miles of waterfront, intending to, j build store rooms, restaurants, hotels j and private homes for the benefit of | traders and tourists. m , Army School of Music Washington, Dec. 6.?Army music soon will compare with that of best orchestras and bands of the country. Popular music will be supplemented by the classical masterpieces and a superband and orchestra will be created from army musicians. General Pershing already has ordered the establishment here of the Army Music School and Walter Damrosch,' conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, has pledged him assistance in work of organization. Both are determined through the school to ele-! vate music in the army. The object of the school, as outlined inthe orders issued by General Pershing, 'is to give courses of instruction in music, both practical and theoretical, elementary and advanced, to student bandsmen, to advanced instrumentalists (soloists), and to studentband leaders, to standardize and perfect band music, and to supply trained personnel there in to meet, as fully i as possible, the needs of the service." i TTie first move to better army music! was made by General Pershing soon j after he took over the office of Chief, of Staff. One of his first actions was! to transfer the school from Fort Jay.j New York, to Washington and direct j that it be reorganized as a 'super- > band," comparable only to the splen-1 did band which was organized in France." "Washington, of course," he said, "would be the only place suitable for j its organization." iiicet; BMiiciiiciiu) wfiu LWUUIIICU HI ( an exchange of correspondence be-1 tween the General and Mr. Damrosch. The latter first was opposed to the I removal of the school from New York, believing students would have bettef! advantages to hear good music and study it in New York than in Washington. He later reconsidered and offered his assistance in making the school all the general proposed. It was Mr. Damrosch who organized the famous "Pershing's Own" at Chaumont, headquarters of the American Expeditionary Forces, which won great distinction among the military bands of the Allied armies and later was sent to tour the United States during one of the Liberty Loan campaigns. The movement to improve music in the army has aa ita objective the ultimate graduation from the school of enough men to give each regiment a . highly trained musical organization able to compete with the best bands and orchestras ift concerts, for the public's entertainment as well as that of the army. Thus, General Pershing hopes to find another tie between the army and the people of the country, to give each a better and more intimate understanding of the other and to blot out any impression that the 1 military and the citizenry must move in different circles.
