The Workers and Peasants Have
Their Own Demands.
The workers and the peasants have
their own demands for which they
can unite on the firm ground of the
class war against the whole bour-
geoisie.
Together they must:
1. Set themselves against an adj
venturous foreign policy, which
brings destruction in the world, and
bankruptcy in public finances.
2. Fight for the annulment Of the
Treaty Of Versailles and its disas-
trous results.
8. Strengthen the solidarity and
the will to peace of the workers.
A. Demand the official recognition
of the Soviet Republic.
5. Defend the working class, Off
Gals. clerks and small farmers against
speculation, increase of prices, high
rents. and against attacks upon the
eight-hour day.
6. Demand for civil servants Free
dom of opinion and right of organiza-
ton, and the 1900 francs bonus.
z. Demand a system of social in
surance, under which there can be NO
fraud or theft.
s. Demand a financial policy
which abolishes wage taxes and In.
direct taxation, and which takes
from the huge capital of the war
profteers, dealers and spectators.
9. Strive for equality of political
and economic rights for working
men and women.
The WORKER and Peasants Bloc.
As against the formation of 6
bloc of the left, the Communist
Party is setting up the idea of the
creation of workers and peasants
bloc The bloc of the left neces
sarily signifies the collaboration anc
blending of classes, the workers anC
peasants bloc on the contrary, mean:
the clear and irreconcilable class
war.
The Communist Party demand,
from the other two proletarian par
ties, the setting up of a united front
of all workers against the bourgeoisie
(which is artifcially divided into {
right and a left.
Profound differences of opinion di
vide us on the questions of defense
of native country, the Dictatorship Of

the proletariat impossible. But fol

tant action, in which it is a question
Of bringing the whole of the pro-
letariat into the struggle against the
bourgeoisie, the Communist Party is
ready to set aside the questions which
divide us, to set up the unity of the
proletarian forces for a minimal pro-
gram of struggle. In making this
sacrifice, it proves its will to see the
unity of the forces of labor realized
on the solid foundation of the class
war.
The Communist Party, therefore,
suggests to all proletarian organiza-
tions, Central Conference, TO ex-
anime the platform to be set up and
the practical problems which viii
arise in the formation of workers
and peasants bloc.
This general discussion and the
formation of a class bloc Of the
workers and the peasants, necessarily
presumes two elementary conditions:
l. United tactics turnout the
country. 1t would be making a farce
of the working class bloc, if it were
only partly carried thru in certain To-
calities, while in others the bloc of
1.-THE Left" was formed. The work.
ers' and peasants bloc must at the
next election evoke the class war on
national scale.
2. A practice of real class war
involving the absolute break with the
bourgeois left parties. A certain
number of socialist and socialist-com-
munist declarations have already Gre
ated, with the radical party, the bloc
of the left in their districts. Altho
the two parties have not officially de-
fined their attitude their most emf
nent leaders are daily working at the
creation of the bloc of the left, to-
gether with the leaders of the radi-
Gals, both in meetings and at public
demonstrations, as well as in the spe-
cial press of the LEFT" Bloc, Ere
Nouvelle, Quotidien, Paris Soir, etc.
One cannot maintain at one and
the same time, the left bloc, and the
workers and peasants bloc, the coll
laboration of and the struggle be-
tween the classes. Therefore, the
Communist Party by suggesting to
the other proletsrian parties the for
nation of the workers and peasants
bloc, places before these parties the
unavoidable alternatives: with the
Communist Party, to create the
unity Of the struggle of the working
class against the bourgeoisie Of the
left and Of the right; or, with the
Radical Party against the Communist
Party, which latter absolutely refuses
TO take part in the collaboration Of
the classes.
The Communist Party is prepared
to make the necessary sacrifice for
the formation of the workers and
peasants bloc, whose task it will be
Ito arraign the whole capitalist regime.

Mote: A declaration by the Com
munist Party of France giving a very
good picture of the political struggles

Against the Bourgeoisie Bloc, for the
Bloc of the Workers and Peasants.
HE majority of the Parliament
has rejected the principle Of pro
portional representation, as it would
have made all parties in the electoral
contest in the spring, appear under
their proper colors. 1t has retained
an election procedure, that falsifies
the representation of the parties, and
compels them to form coalitions, that
is, to an inevitable confusion of pro-
grams.
The Communist Party is Of opinion,
that the elections of 1924 have a
significance far SURPRISING all pre-
vious elections.
The country will be able to Judge
even better than in 1919 the. policy
of the war, and of those who brought
it about The Peace of Versailles
marked the triumph of French i'm
perialism, whose policy, since the end
of the war. has led the world to
destruction, France to bankruptcy,
and has created prospects of new
war.
Within the country itself, this inn
perialist policy of the bourgeoisie is
essentially anti-labor.
The electoral contest must bring
into the field against those response
bic for this policy, the mass of their
victims-workers, officials and small
peasants, tenants and consumers with
small incomes. The country must
sweep away those responsible for this
policy of bankruptcy, famine and
war.
The party alignments are already
becoming apparent. The bloc of the
left Is setting itself in opposition Ia

Howl With Pleasure at Tunes
Says Doctor.
Piano and Would Always Be on
Hand for a Concert.

Why does a dog howl when he hears
high-pitched music?
Is it because the notes strike
against his delicate hearing apparatus
with such force as to cause him pain ?
Or is it because he likes the sound
of music and feels the urge to join in
with his own voice?
The first theory is that of New
York man. He wrote an article re-
Gently in which he sought to prove his
theory. A dog fancier in stanton,
Va, was the first TO take issue with
the New Yorker. He was followed by
a host of dog lovers in this city and
in adjoining states.
Here, in part, is tne article writ
ten by the New York man:
"a dog can pick up sounds which
makes no impression whatever upon
our ear. drums.
This, of course, means that these
organs are exceptionally sensitive and
ii is this that leads up to the bowling
of dogs while certain kinds of music
are being played. The high, piercing
notes of the violin or cornet strike
against the dogs delicate auditory
apparatus with such force that they
cause acute pain and he gives vent
to his feelings by telling the world
that he is being hurt, just as human
being would cry out if some one stuck
pin in his ear"
The New Workers. explanation is
interesting but not convincing" says
p. l.. Tracy In letter written from
Staunton:
when dog Is struck with a clu'
or a stone we are certain he Is hurt"
argues Tracy. HE doesn't howl. but
yelps, emitting an entirely different
sound than the mournful tones he
'looses' at hearing high pitched music
"If the pain caused by the music
on sensitive membranes is acute, why
doesn't the dog yelp as he does when
there Is no question about the pres
ence of acute pain, and why doesn't
he run off?'
DR.. James f. Chamberlin widely
known veterinarian, was consulted.
1T is my conviction" the doctor
said that dogs. especially thorough
breds. highly enjoy music. I once
owned a dog that would rush into
the paror OF my home when anybody
began playing the piano. Whenever
high-pitched note was reached he
would begin singing Washington
