ment and that workers should hold

fostered for years in the South
Slavic section Of the Party, is a
very unhealthy one.
'TntelIectuals" Must Behave.
Cultural activity, so long as it is
based upon the class struggle and
the Communist program, and does
not degrade our Party from the
position of fighting leader Of the
working class into a mere bourgeois
educational sect, is to be encour-
aged and developed. But the Party
cannot agree that this necessary
cultural work can only be done by
certain individuals who try to use
their ability and training as club
to force their own direction upon
the Party. Cultural work must be
developed by the proletarian ele-
ments themselves, with the assist
ance Of such "intellectuals" as are
willing to subordinate themselves to
the interests of the workers and
the discipline of the Party. The
South Slavic Section of the Work
ers Party undoubtedly contains men
and women capable Of developing
this feature Of your work who are
at the same time tried and trusted
comrades, with loyalty to the Party
and to the Communist International.
Every Good Comrade Welcome.
The Central Executive Commit
tee is not interested in supporting
or condemning any individual mem
Der of the South Slavic Section.
We want to draw every good Com
munist into active participation in
the work of the Section, including
those comrades who, thru misun-
derstanding, have been misled into
supporting the enemies Of our Party.
In your coming Convention we hcae
that you will have full and frank
discussion which will result in the
selection Of Bureau that will have
the complete cooperation of every
member and which will at the same
time have the necessary understand
ing of Communist principles, Com
munist discipline, and loyalty TO
the Communist International. The
Central Executive Committee will
send a special representative to the
Convention to assist in the solution
Of all problems confronting you, the
liquidation of controversies, and the
fraternal unification of all true fol-
lowers of the Communist Interna-
tional for the great struggles which
lie before Us.
We call upon every South Slavic
Worker, members and ex-members
Of the Party, to return to the work
Of building up, strengthening and
perfecting our Party, to eliminate
all old quarrels, to join together in
the most energetic participation in
our general Party life and Party
work in the American class strug-
gle.
United to conquer the future for
the Workers Partyi
With Communist greetings,

6,OOO, 900 GERMANS ABLE TO FIGHT.
BUT LACK GUNS AND EQUIPMENT
Nation May Haze Some Guns, But Lacks Airplanes
Scientists Work on Gases, But Keep
Plans Secret.

man firms and engineers are building
military airplanes in Russia. But
German socialists as well as the ma
tionaIists assert that relations with
Russia are not sufficiently cordial to
intrust that country with the prepa-
ration for the most vital arm for the
German army.
New Poison Gases.
The problem that seems to worry
the allied commission in Germany. es-
pecially the French, concerns what
the German laboratories are prepar-
ing for the next war. What are Prof.
Nerenst, the great gas specialist, and
other German chemists doing In re-
gard to poisonous gases and other
chemical or electrical discoveries?
The French are seriously worried
about some fantastic possibili-
ties of this sort, but no one is
able to give adequate information as
to what German science has been able
to produce to supply the deficiency of
armaments.
The whole matter is in the hands of
three men. and they do not keep even
the chief of staff of the German army
informed of the progress of their dis
coveries. Whether German scientists
have been abe to discover new meth
DDS of waging war by applying chem
istry and electricity and what these
methods are will be known only when
war breaks out.

BUMPER WHEAT CROPS WILL
HELP BANKING SITUATION

Washington.-With the number OF
bank failures decreasing rapidly from
month to month in the states west of
the Mississippi river, where stringent
credit conditions obtained last winter.
high treasury officials have expressed
the belief hat the reported bumper
wheat crop in many of those states had
placed the financial institutions Of
those districts on their feet again.
Despite the long list of failures. the
treasury believes that any Tightening
of credit that may come next winter
will have little effect IN the banks.
They have been able to fortify them
selves in various ways and are now
prepared to withstand any calls that
nay come to them. except. of course, In
isolated cases where the strain may he
too great. The Agricultural Credit
Corporation, organized last spring at
the direction of President Coolidge,
has been able to reopen some 20 of
the banks that fniled. and advices to
the treasurer indicate several score
more in the northwestern states are
now receiving aid which will enable
them to weather any new crisis.
