Corruption

CZECHOSLOVAKIA

"Corruption! Corruption! Corruption!" CzechoSlovakian Parliament had begun.

Whiz! . . . Crash! and a bottle of benzine landed in the vicinity of the Premier. A free fight between the Communists and the other deputies then ensued.

This storm in the session was aroused by the oil graft scandal (TiME, March 3), which was itself engendered by the sale of inferior benzine and gasoline to the Government at superior price.

Calm was eventually restored and a memorial speech for the late U. S. President, Woodrow Wilson, was listened to with great respect.

Premier Soila then rose. Referring to Czecho-Slovakia's oil scandal, he observed that it was not in Czecho-Slovakia that all morals and justice had apparently disappeared since the War.
