future policy Of our party before
convention decision as the best me-
thod of avoiding serious mistakes,
we accept the proposal Of the Com
munist International that represents
atives Of both tendencies shall be
sent to the Communist International
before the meeting of the enlarged
executive committee to present the
two viewpoints and secure a deci-
sion by the Communist Internation-
al further
THAT the question be referred to
the full meeting Of the central exc
cutive committee for action along
the line of the above.
"In presenting this proposal, we
at the same time state it is our opin-
ion and desire that the thesis Of the
central executive committee, both
majority and minority, should be
submitted to the membership i'm
mediately after the coming full
meeting of the central executive
committee and discussion on the
thesis should be opened at once in
order that the party membership
might have sufficient time for full
and free discussion of the issues
and principles which divide the two
groups in the central executive COM
mittee. We believe that such full
and free discussion can be carried
on during the period while the mat
ter is being submitted to the Com
munist International and that what
ever decision is rendered by the
Communist International will be the
final guide for the party member
ship which will be registered in the
decision of the convention of the
party.
1--WE believe that such a method
OF arriving at decision on party
policy will prevent the development
of sharp factional struggles within
the party and keep the discussion
within the lines of a discussion of
policy and not a bitter fractional
struggle. The achievement of this
end is desirable so far as the party
as whole is concerned, for a severe
factional struggle within the organ
ization cannot but result detrimen-
tally to the progress of the party as
a whole"
5. The central executive commit
tee is still communicating with the
Communist International, and will
comply with the decision of the Com
munist International as soon as such
final decision is reached.

Chicago Finnish
Branch in Support
Of Majority Stand

The Workers Party Finnish Branch
of Chicago, in membership meeting
assembled to discuss the thesis Of the
party central executive committee and
minority, adopted the following reso.
luton:
Il. We regret that the central ex.
ecutive of the party is divided into
two main groups on the farmer-labor
party question. Instead of unanimous.
ly taking stand that our main task
is to build our own party, in which
work all our energy should be con-
centrated to make it party able to
take the lead in the labor movement
of this country, we now use our energy
and funds in fractional fights which
are not always beneficial to the well
fare Of our party.

majority and minority and making a
analysis Of the history of our farmer
labor party united front, the member

in general. The policy as expressed
in the majority thesis. in our opinion,
serves the Communist movement best
in this country and is based on actual
conditions as they appear on a close
analysis at the present time.
%. The branch condemns the tactic
used by the minority in this con.
troversy in packing meetings with
their supporters and trying to force
premature decisions, before the ques.
ton was opened for discussion in the
party, and when failing in its attempts
provoking disruption in meetings Of
which a membership meeting in Chi.
cago is good example. Such tactics
are not for the best interest OF the
party and should not be used in the
future.

LONDON, Dec. 1s.-The big news

The British press calls this execu-

ANGL O-FRENCH
PACT TO Share
NORTH AFRICA
"You Take Egypt and /
Take Morocco"
Especial to tho Daily worksr)

PARIS, France, Dec. ls.-Both
France and England look with some
concern upon the precarious position
of the Spanish army Of Dictator Primo
de Rivera in Morocco. These three
powers are signatory to the pact Of
Algeciras, slicing up northern Africa
among themselves regardless OF the
interests and self-rule Of the natives
If Spain is decisively beaten back
toward the coast, leaving the natives
under Abdel Krim in control Of the
territory lying next to the French,
France sees a chance to assert claim
over it under the guise of protect
ing" her frontier.
The French government yesterday
issued a statement saying so in diplo
matte language. 1t said, 1.-THE Spanish
protectorate over Morocco is the re-
suit of an Anglo-French agreement
comforting this privilege on the Madrid
government, and Spain is not entitled
to relinquish the territory to any third
power or to evacuate the zone entirely
or in part or otherwise escape the OBJ
legation of maintaining order without
officially advising the two powers con-
cerned"
1t is known that in the recent Anglo.
French secret agreement, France
promised to let Britain have a free
hand in the oppression Of Egypt and
the Sudan If England would give her
an equally free hand in Morocco.

Budget Shows Loans
Not Imperative
(Ry Rosta News Agency

MOSCOW (By MaiI.)-Re-
porting on the budget for the
working year, Colnrade SokoI-
nikoff, Peoples Commissar of
Finance, referring in the course
of his speech, to an utterance
of Kokovtzoff, one time czarist
minister Of finance, alleging
that the Soviet government has
squandered Russia's gold re-
serve, Sokolnikoff refutes this
charge, stressing that from the
beginning of the year 1922 the
gold reserve of the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics not
only did not diminish, but has
increased.
The peoples commissar Of finance
further stated that the latest none
tary reform has been a complete
success. The speaker pointed out that
in spite of the discontinuance of the
issuance of paper notes as from July
l, the monetary circulation thruout
the union was 6O2 million roubles on
August and is expected to reach
from 700 to $50 million by the first
Of January, 1925, and about one billion
roubles by the first of October next
year. As. for the rate Of exchange, the
chervonet has been on par with the
gold dollar ever since the first of July
which is an excellent evidence of the
purchasing power of Soviet currency
Turning to the Anglo-Soviet treaty,
Sokolnikov denied the falacious
statements alleging that the Union of
Socialist Soviet Russia needed the
British loan to save the Soviet cur
rency, balance the budget and restore
the Soviet national economy. True,
declares the Peoples Commisar of
Finance-such loan would be most
useful to the Union inasmuch as it
would help make big stride forward
in Soviet economy: This loan, how.
ever, is not an indispensable basis of
our existence"
AS matter of fact, further states
the Speaker-even without an official
loan English bankers do not refuse
credits to the Union of Soviet Repub.
lies, and actually today the question of
granting commercial credits to the
Soviet State Bank by British finaci-
ers with the support Of powerful Am
erican financial interests is in quite
favorable stage.
The Soviet Peoples Commisar of
Finance concluded his address to the
c. E. C. and amidst loud applause and
unanimous approval, by stating EN-
phatically that the present working
year was the last difficult one which
the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies had to go thru.

raised it's prestige among the work
ers and farmers Of this country and
gained many new members and SYM
pathizers; and
I'm view Of the fact that the
economic conditions are growing
worse and worse, while millions of
exploited workers and farmers are
still following the leadership of capi.

Farmer-Labor Party is still alive and
offers great opportunity for
strengthening the Workers Party in
its agitation for class farmer-labor

that
THE majority's determination to
cast aside the slogan for a farmer
labor party is harmful and obstructing
