SOVIET EMBASSY
IN PARIS TARGET
OF ROYALISTS
ReGctiOnGrieS Attack
Communist Party

NSpeCtdl TO ne lazy WofNefI
PARIS, France. Dec. 1O.-The
campaign Of the reactionaries
to accomplish two objects, the
persecution of the Communists
and the cashiering of Herriot, is
going forward with a great rush.
The royalists staged demon
stration yesterday in front Of
the Soviet embassy, and all the
organs of reaction are filed
with attacks on Herriot for his
weakness in handling the
reds"
The international press seems to
have taken up the scent and cables
from America and England tell of the
intense preparation for revolution"
on the part Of French Communists
which is purely imaginary except that
the Communists are always preparing
for overthrowing capitalism. But this
is hardly news. Just now the Com
munits are making drive for am
nesty and have set up united front
to fight for that measure.
Herriot, trying his best to perse-
cute the Communists, is at loss what
to do. The Communist Party is legal
and all his hundreds Of gendarmery
cannot find anything illegal. Yet the
capitalist press wants more than de-
portation Of alien workers.
It cries out that mo French Com
munists have been molested and moth
ing has been done to interfere with
the organization Of the party" They
must have blood and fascist repres
sion. Herriot fears to give them this
not because he is not a reactionary
but because he knows that the work
ers Of France will be no longer fooled
by his claim of being a socialist"
Herriot has had to dodge, like Mac
Donald doged. 1t may be as useless
to him as to Ramsay Macdonald. The
Communists in the parliament are
pressing Herriot to state his policy on
the release Of Jacques Sadoul.
Another case the Communists are
pressing in parliament is the presecu.
ton Of the Communist mayor of
Douarnenez, the Brittany fishing vii.
lago where a strike, led by Mayor La
Flanchec, has been directed against
the sardine packers.
LaFlanchec has been arrested by the
project OF the department who sus.
pended the mayor on charges of re-
bellion and obstruction Of work.
The answer OF LaFlanchec was to
tie the tri-color scarf of his Office
around his waist and lead the strikers
in a demonstration, in which a strike
breaker driving a truck Of packed fish,
was persuaded to leave his wagon and
seek shelter in the factory.
Police Call for Help.
The mounted police interviewed, but
the spirit Of the strikers was up. The.
surrounded the police who had to call
for help from another town.
Practically the whole police force OF
the district had to be called in before
the Communist mayor could be
rounded up and arrested. The work
ers of the district are furious, and are
determined to send LaFlanchec to
parliament II he is put in jail. an act
which under French law, must give
him release in order to occupy his
