CHAPTER VIII.
Tactics Of United Front.
Roots of United Front.

NOV, comrades, come to the ques-
IN ton of the tactics of the united
front, to the most debated question
in our ranks. In this respect, too,
am fully in agreement with the in
struction given by the German Com
munist party to it's delegation, in
which the German party declares that
now is not the time to discuss the
tactics of the united front as a ques-
ton in itself. l am in complete
agreement with this; the tactic of the
united front remains correct. The
question should be put concretely,
for every country separately, in ac-
cordance with the prevailing con-
ditions.
Nevertheless, there are a few gen
eral things to be said on this subject.
Historically speaking, how did We
fare with the tactics of the united
front? Looking back on the road that
has been traversed, we can see that
to the Communist International as a
whole in 1922, the tactics of the
united front meant the realisation
that we have not yet won majority
of the working class; secondly, that
the social democracy is still very
strong; thirdly, that we are on the
defensive and that the enemy was
attacking (by the way, it should be
observed that last years strikes, for
instance in England, were mostly OF
a defensive nature, as was the case
also in the other countries); fourthly
that the decisive fight is not yet on
the order of the day. Hence we ad
vanced the slogan: ITO the masses!'
and later to the tactics of the united
front l have already pointed out
comrades, that there was time in
the Communist International when
we were virtually nothing more than
a propaganda society, without being
aware of the fact ourselves. After
the first skirmishes, the actual cor
relation of forces had become clear

playground and put a high fence
around it so that nobody could
play there unless he had a key.
Only the Western Electric work
ers, and mostly only the big
bosses of Western Electric's shops
here, can use the playground.
The children, as Louise Pellegrino
says, have no place but the streets
to play.

"OuR GOYERNMENT~

In any state, county, city, town,
or school you are told by crazy
fools that: "This is a free coun-
try" How do you get that way q?
They said it's a government of the
people, by the people, for the peo-

 The lighthouse service does all that is possible to tighten the bur- den of the men who must maintain the life-saving beacons perched on these lonely outposts. The keep CTS are transferred at frequent in tervals. Arrangements are made even to provide travelling teachers for the instruction of their children
 The stations are provided with good libraries and are being equipped with radio outfits.
 But even so, how one must miss, at Sarichef and Tillamook, the call of the postman and the grocer's boy, the flicker of the movie, and the chatter of Mrs: Jones to Mrs. Mur- phy across the backyard fence.

Bleak Alaskan Coast In
 Heart-Breaking Isolation

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.-The loneliest habitated spot in the world has been discovered. It is at Cape Sarichef on the bleak coast of that great undeveloped empire called Alaska, and the federal government has put a lighthouse on the spot to warn mariners to stay away-not merely from the heart-breaking iso- latiOn, however, but because the chilly northern waters hide an ugly reef which waits to tear out the vitals of the occasional unwary ships that invade the loneliness of the re- mote top of the world.
 The only contact maintained be- tween lonely Cape Sarichef and the outside world is the delivery of the mail and supplies four time year by the staunch little schooner Starr.
 Once in the springtime, once in the summer, once in autumn and once in the cheerless winter-time, the several inhabitants of dreary Cape Sarachef snatch from the hands of the boatmen the mail bag that contains the letters from loved ones at home and the newspapers that tell of months-old happenings in that world that seems as remote as another planet.
 Life at Cape Sarichef must be one continued round of pleasurable ex- citement indeed
 The veterans of the lighthouse service, whose duty it is to illumine the perilous sea-paths regardless of utter isolation or raging element, are used to days and nights such as Cape Sarichef afford, however.
 Another lonely spot is Tillamook Rock on the Oregon coast, where Uncle Sam has also found it de- sirable to set up lighthouse. The steep, rugged slopes of Tillamook Rock are so utterly unscalable that 1t IS necessary to raise or lower in basket the keeper of the light on the rare occasions of his ar rivals and departures.
 Of course, such an abode has it's

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3.-Mrs. Gene vieve Paddleford is the former wife of Dr. George E. Paddleford, wealthy Los Angeles oil man and former as sociate of E. L. Doheny in Mexico, who was granted divorce here from Mrs. Paddleford July 20, 1923. In Dr. Paddleford's divorce compliant he alleged that his wife was a for mer "jailbird," having been confined in New York and other cities, and that she had "blackmailed" him.
 Mrs. Paddleford was arrested here March 22, 1923, on a grand larceny charge. It was alleged that she had obtained large amounts of merchan- disc from various Hollywood mer- chants.
 When the case was called in su- perior court she failed to appear.

TEN REEL THRILLER BE SHOWN AT LIBERTY STARTING
 TOMORROW NIGHT

D. W. Griffith's big ten-reel photo play, "The White Rose" will appear at the Liberty theatre tomorrow night for the first time, with no extra price of admission charged. The picture is said by the New York World to be "one of the biggest made in years" It comes as near being real pict- ure as we have seen in years. It is an unqualified success and Mae Marsh reaches out and twangs the heart strings and never strikes a discord."
 "The fallen woman no longer falls alone" says Sophia Irene Loeb, pres ident of the Child Welfare Board of New York City, who has more knowl- edge about fallen women and fallen men than anyone in the wide world.
 You know the story about the fall en girl, but have you ever seen play about fallen man?
 Yesterday men sowed their wild oats as matter of course. Society seemed to say it was their privilege.
 Things are changing. Today when men and women sin through love, do not men suffer too?

 He meets temptation in the form of jazz baby, dance-hall pet. He is stirred by jazz horns and the tap ping of soft shoes, the gleam of silk en-clad ankles, the swaying of girl ish bodies in the dance. Everywhere lights, laughter and merriment.

but you cannot reduce it without re-
tarding the future development of
this country.
In 1915 the motor vehicle owner
paid only s per cent OF the cost of
the road work Of the year. In 1928
he paid practically 20 per cent.
Without fully realizing 1t we are re-
turning to something like a toll sys-
tenn in which the Objectionable toll
gate is replaced by the gasoline filling
station, and the license tag is an an
nual ticket for the use of the roads.
The real question is not whether
we can afford to go ahead with the
program OF road Improvement, but
whether we can afford to stop It.
The attainment of an adequate
highway improvement for a single
and for the nation as a whole
is not a task that can be worked
out in a single year, or even in two
or three years. 1t is a long time job.

Salient Fact About
Wyoming Highways

(From an article by T. H. Macdonald
Chief of Bureau of Public Roads.)
With 3O99 miles of Main. Arteries
the wyoming Highway Department
has contrived to connect practically
every city and town in the state.
In wyoming the ratio of vehicles
to population is now we'll above the
average for the whole country.
The immediate job of the State
Highway Departmet is to complete
the grading and draining OF the en-
tire state and Federal aid system.
Developing a system of roads is
much like piecing together a picture
puzzle. One scarcely knows where
to begin. and whatever opposition
there may be in the early stages
melts away when the disjointed Sec
tions-take form and connection as
= whole.
Wyoming has perhaps not yet pass
ed out OF the pioneer stage-but
the change Is coming sooner or later
and the state is fortunate that the
basic highway facilities which will
one day be im%peratively needed are
being provided before the need be-
comes acute.

try. We are no longer. We have

separated until we can no longer

DO DEMOCRATS
FAVOR CANCELLATIONS

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 22. -
There is no more significant feature
Of the campaign than the attitude Of
the opposing candidates and their
platforms on the foreign debt to the
United States" declares the Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne
Jr. Inc Democratic platform has
not a word to say on the subject, and
so far as noted, neither OF the DEM
ocratic candidates has broken his
deep silence on that issue. They
are apparently willing that the peo-
pie should be lulled into a false
sense OF security on that point-into
a feeling that the agreements con-
summated by the Republican Admin
istration with Great Britain. Fin
land, and Hungary will, as a matter
of course, be extended to include all
the debtor countries.
Few people realize just how SER
Gus this matter of the foreign debt
really is. OF the total amount, some
$4,000, 100000 has been funded, due
to the efforts of the Republican Gov
eminent, and the Treasury is now re-
ceiving regular interest and princf-
pal payments that relieve our tax
payers of the necessity of paying in
terest and sinking fund on an equal
amount Of Liberty Bonds, and that
will completely retire that huge total
in about sixty years. But there still
remains in the Treasury h enorm-
u balance Of some $1,000, 100000
owed American taxpayers by foreign
governments. which is represented
solely by demand promissory notes.
No interest is being paid on them,
and the nations that W h money
have ignored invitations from the
American Debt Commission to- accept
settlements similar to that made with
Great Britain. 1t is in securing the
eventual repayment OF that huge
sum that the American taxpayers are
low vitality interested.
1.-The Democratic platform ignores
the subject, but devotes pages to
other items that aggregate only a
small fraction OF the unpaid debt tot
al. and that should command CORE
spondingly less attention from the
people. President Coolidge and the
platform on which he is running meet
the situation s%quarely. and If the
Republican Administration is con-
tinued in power taxpayers have as
that refunding operations so
successfully conducted with three
debtor nations will be extended to in
clude them all.
"'I do not favor the cancellation
of this debt said President Coolidge,
but I see no objection to adjusting
II in accordance with the principle
adopted for the British debt. Our
country would not wish to- assume
