milton Of the Soviets and against the
Dawes plan, characterize better than
anything else this opposition. In this
international organization Of the eco
nomic fight, the resistance Of the chief
reformist defenders Of the bour-
geoisie to the policy and to the class
struggle Of the proletariat will be
quickly broken.
The transformation Of socialist
parties, the left wing OF bourgeois
Fascism, into parties of the dominant
bourgeoisie, supporting the offensive
against the proletariat, will create
anti-socialist sentiment among the
broad masses. The Communist Party
must approach carefully and atten-
lively these masses who, in a practi-
cal situation, wake UP and engage
in the class struggle.
XII.
The realignment for forces and the
role Of American finance capital have
resulted in gaining time for the Euro
pean bourgeoisie; but the truce which
they have succeeded in getting will
be Of very short duration.
Preparation for decisive battles
should be made on as broad scale
as possible, for the capitalist often
sive will be carried out on vast
scale indeed. The last act Of the last
stage of capitalist government is
about to begin. The task Of the Com
munist parties in the preparation Of
the fight for power becomes very
much greater. The Communist parties
should use the greatest possible de-
termination and show their ability to
direct large masses.
The Bolshevization Of the Commun-
list parties, their direct connection
with the masses-these are conditions
necessary to enable them 70 take part
in decisive battles.

Smith pledged his aid in preventing
strikes in New York state at the an
nual industrial conference Of the state

spoke at the same session. Hillquit
declared the most effective method
of minimizing industrial friction thus
far has been the system of collective
bargaining"
II cannot think of a more senseless
waste than a strike" said Governor
Smith. Smith deplored the waste of
time" in strike and said the public"
is the heaviest sufferer

Mayor Raises Hobb and the
Red Flag.
The red town Of Douarnenez, a
fishing village. is giving test case.
The crux Of the trouble is that the
mayor, F. La Flanchec, is the leader
of the whole town, and he is a Com
munist.
For many months La Flanchec has
been making things miserable for the
bourgeoisie in the village, which is a
fishing and sardine packing center A
few months ago some of the fisher
folk were elected from their houses by
landlords who seemed quite incensed
at the failure of their tenants ever to
pay rent.
AS mayor Of the city La Flanchec
halted the elections. opened the doors
Of the houses himself and ordered the
police to replace the disturbed furni-
ture. Some of those police were
amusing spectacles as they aided the
housewives to tack down the carpets
and put up the dislocated stoves.

But this was only beginning. Now

DUBLIN, Dec. THE spectre OF a
terrible famine looms over Ireland. In
the western part of the country, the
failure OF the crops presents situa,
ton as threatening as any since the
black days OF AZ. And while deaths
from hunger are reported the Free
State government does nothing but
twiddle its thumbs.
Trade Unions Split.
The crisis is caused by crop fail
ure and also heavy slump in trade
The extent of the crisis can be gath.
cred from the fact that there are
100000 industrial workers listed al
the unemployment exchanges, while
the entire membership of the trade
unions at best never exceeded 250,00e
and the population Of the county il
only about 100000. But the dis.
tress is not confined to the industrial
population, and the figures for the az.
ricultural regions are not easily avail
able as they do not register with the
unemployment exchanges.
Food Prices High.
Food prices are already higher thar
in England and are so per cent higher
than before the war. Instead Of doing
something to help the famine stricken
people, the government has created a
commission to inquire into the cause
of the crop failure.
When the great famine broke IN
Russia, the Irish priests attributed the
disaster to visitation Of the christian
God because the Russian people per
mitted Bolshevism to find root among
them. Ireland is the most catholic
and loyal to Rome of any country in
the world, yet the western part of the
country is a fertile ground for famine
and the prayers Of the clergy seem tt
have no influence in increasing the
food supply.

houses. La Flanchec himself led the
parade Of strikers through the village
with a red flag tied around his waist
instead of the French tricolor. He saw
to it that city funds were used to
finance the needy strikers families.
Firstly, only the sardine packers were
involved, then the strike spread to the
workers who make the sardine boxes.
The whole town is in an uproar.
The police project of the province
drafted special officers and sent them
to Douarnenez, but nobody pays any
attention to them. La Flanchec has
invited Communist speakers Of Paris
to come to the village and in public
speeches declared, 1--WE didn't care a
boot for the police Of the Bloc National
and we care even less for the police Of
the present government"
Puts Herrlot In a Hole.
La Flanchec has such a strong
popularity that his arrest would pro-
woke trouble all over France as the
Communists would surely take up the
fight to show that by Herriot's sup.

Even as Cuddy DeMarco was rob bed of a decision over kaplan when they met in Waterbury few weeks ago. so was Lew Palnso robbed of q decision over DeMarco in the same ring last ncht--only this time it was peMarco who was on the receiving end. After |. rounds of the most gruellng kind of fighting in which i PaluSo, by his coolness, his aggressive ness and his ring scncralship took q majority of the rounds, Referee digger ' Mccarthy fstonishcd the crowd by holding up DcMarco's hand. Tho de- c,sion was vigorously boood by the thousands present. And that in itself is evidence that .hc decision was al wet" for DeMarco entered the ring prime favorite with the crowd and was given a great ovation, while Pa luso, an unknown in the Rraes City, received cool reception before the gong.
 A draw decision would not have occa stoned any great protest, for both boys did great. furnishing one Of the | best fights in recent years in Water bury: but if ono was to be given tho verdict paluso is the boy who earned it. In fact tie fans at ring-side and in tho bleachers were debating during inc last round as to whether McCar- thy would give pnluso the verdict or call it a draw, And then Mccarthy proved himself "fonl hall'' in the l opinion ot the vast majority
 ns,f.s Ia, l inc each round faster than the one before. DeMarco started like a whirlwind in the opener, but Lew refused to get rattled and met his rushee with light ming jabs 10 tho haad and body. This slowed up the Pittsburgh boy and from then on it was nip and tuck.
 Paluso, however. forced most Of ihe fighting and while he assimilsted n lot of punishment, DeMarco received blow for blow in return and in the nnal round vas literally battered all over the ring paluso finishing with q dazzling display of strength, skill and genoralship.
 Both~ boys cndearcd themselves to the fight loving crowd by their work and. as has been said bofore--a draw would not have been bad, but if a verdict was earned the boy from Salt | Lake City earned il. But Mir. Jigeers Mccarthy was in the ring. 'Nuf sed.

THE TALL RiR. HARRIS AND THE SHORT
 LITTLE MR. AlEEKER OF THE MACKNEN

Good pitchers come in assorted sizes.
 The twirling staff of Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics offers conclu- sive proof.
 One of the members is the elongated Bryan Harris. who measures six feet six inches, yet weighs only 1s0 pounds. He is right handler.
 Another member of Mack's staff is Donald Meeker, five feet six inches, weight 15j. He is a southpaw, and a mighty promising one.
 In Bryan Harris and Donald Meek CT, Connie Mack presents the long and short of it in pitching, as far as the American league is concerned.
 There is just the matter of one foot difference betwen the two from perpendicular standpoint, with Harris holding the edge.
 Considered horizontally, the diminu- tive Mceker has much the best of it. He is stocky, well set up recruit.
