TALLENTIRE IS
GREETED WITH
EAGER CROWDS
Finde Spirit of Workers
Splendid
BY NORMAN TALLENTIRE.
Especial to The DAILY WORKERl

Especial to The DAILY WORKER)
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 3.-The work
ers here have shown a fine, cheerful
spirit and are pushing the party work
ahead with vigor. This is partly due
to the presence of Comrade Snyder,
who is putting the work on a sys-
tematic basis.
Today Snyder and other party mem
bers from Omaha are going over to
Sioux City, Iowa, to organize an Eng
fish branch there.
Meetings Grow Larger.
The meeting at st. Louis was small
er than would have been the case if
longer notice had been given. But
the members who came showed their
generosity and a splendid spirit of op-
timism. Much literature was sold,
Communist Internationales and Labor
Heralds and collection of SIS was
taken.
At Kansas City in spite of great
heat, $50 people turned out and paid
rs cents admission and then donated
SIS more for the work and expense.
Those present were we'll satisfied with
the meeting. Comrades Dlll Browder
and Jack Mihelic, chairman, were
busy.
New Members Enter.
Over 200 people gathered here on
the streets when comrades Coutts and
Snyder opened the meeting. They
were eager to hear more when the
rain dispersed them in about half an
hour. Street meetings here are prov
ing a great success. From 100 to 400
workers turn out on the different
nights.
New members are coming into the
party and the spirit of hope and op.
timisn among both new and old mem
bers is inspiring. The message OF
the Workers Party is being spread by
the members and will bring results.

declared preacher Ramsay
Macdonald as he grasped the
hand of premier Herriot of
France after the Allied confer
ence reached an agreement on
the Da#ss plan. There are
plenty of devils lurking around
as Mr.. Macdonald is very we'll
aware and one of them is no
other than Henri Poincare,
"Peck's Bad Boy" of the Daw-
ties.
There may be other devils.
The German and French Com
munists rae bitterly opposed to
the Dawes plan, because it
means more bitter suffering
for the workers.
The Poincarist press is bitter in its
opposition to the settlement and it is
not improbable that Herriot may find
himself premier without majority
on his return. He will have, however,
in his fight with Poincare, the cash
of the House of Morgan at ms back,
just as Poincare had :. prior to the
election, when Herriot was using
strange words in order to catch votes
words that Morgan did not under
stand. He understands them now.
Call 1t Surrender.
The Poincarist press brands the
agreement capitalization on the part
Of France to England. is is the
way Liberte puts it: August 2, 1914
inyasion-August 2, 1924 capitula-
ton"
The settlement was given an i'm
petus by the arrival of Morgan. His
lackeys were getting nervous over
their failure to make Herriot come to
terms. 1t is rumored that it was Nor
gan's promise to back up Herriot in
France, was the argument that in
duced the radical-socialist premier to
knuckle down.
A feature of the political situation
in Europe just now is the united front
between the social democrats and the
international bankers. The socialists
in England, France and Germany are
being used to iron out any obstacles
in the way of the financiers' plan for
complete hegemony over Europe.
The interview on socialism given by
Ramsay Macdonald to an American
correspondent, is considered here as
another step on the part of the Brit
ish Premier to prove to the bankers
that socialism, according to Sain Mac
Donald is capitalism's best friend. II
is.
Germans Invited.
An invitation was sent to the Ger
mans to come to London. Thus for
the first time in ten years the Huns"
are again welcomed into the family of

are forgiven.
