British Leaders Urge

osal for the converting OF world
labor congress.
The date fixed for the meeting OF
our general council Is February 8,
1925, and the following days.
It will be seen from the above cor
respondence that in the course Of the
six months there was presumably as
a result of the British Trade Union
Congress declaration in September) a
distinctly more cordial tone in the
letter sent by the bureau on Septem
Der IL. On the other hand, there is a
perceptible stiffening Of the tone In
the letter OF December 1. The last
letter would, 1t seemed, definitely pre-
clude any further move towards an
entente; and postpones any further
consideration to the meeting of Feb
ruary s. Undoubtedly this was due
to the fact that the negotiations al
that time November and December)
proceeding between the British trade
unions and the Russian trade unions
had placed new complexion on the
situation. To these ,Anglo-Russian
negotiations we must now turn.

COMMUNISM ENLISTS THE WOMEN
BY KARL RADEK.

ployes is made, she is the first to
be thrown on to the pavement, and
therefore the working women will
play an increasingly greater role in
the class struggle as the years go
by. The bourgeoisie laughs itself
sick over the idea of love as fight
ing weapon, but it will learn to
know Of hate as the fighting weapon
of the working women.
The Communist women's move
ment is in its first stages, and that
is the best evidence of how young
and weak the Communist movement
in general still is. Only the move
ment which embraces that half Of
humanity, the working women, can
revolutionize the world. Interna-
tional Women's Day was therefore
created not only to mobilize the
women, but also point out to the
Communist men that they are be-
traying their cause if they do not
support the movement of the prole-
tartan women with great fervor and
with great earnestness. The winning
over of the masses OF working wom
en- into the Communist movement
will give it an enormous offensive
power. The working woman as a
Communist guarantees victory even
in the most difficult circumstances.
The spirit of the fighting workers
in difficult situations depends on the
spirit, the endurance, the energy Of
women, for in a difficult situation
a dependent woman might cause a
defeat.
Therefore, all energies to the
fore in the fight for the soul OF
the working women.

A FEW years ago the well-known
"A theatre director, Reinhardt, pre-
scented "Lysistrata" by Aristoph-
anes, at the Deutsche Theater,
the play in which the old scoffer and
opponent of Athenian democracy
depicts a woman's conspiracy to end
the war. All Greece was tired OF
war and the women decided to end
it by a demonstration of solidarity.
What could that be? A sex strike.
Aid this sex strike, depicted with
ingenious humor, entertains the
bourgeois ladies and gentlemen in
an extraordinary degree. Old Aris-
tophanes had known gifted women,
Aspasia, for instance, the wife Of
Pericles. His Lysistrata is also rep
resented as a clever woman. But
the masses of women who follow
her are depicted as pretty kittens
who have no other weapon than the
ability to love.
This representation does not even
correspond with the role of woman
in ancient times; she was a mother
and mistress of the home, that is,
she did a great necessary social
work. But as mother and mistress
Of the home, she was restricted in
her activity to the domestic circle,
to her family, and therefore she
could not engage in concentrated
mass activity. Since this time the
world has radically changed.
Women are working in factories,
workshops and Offices. The type
writer alone represents a technical
revolution. Without the ridiculed
lady typist the whole of modern IN
dustry and of modern trade is i'm
possible. During the war wom-
ans Importance as a worker In
creased ten-fold. That is why in
many countries the war with one
full sweep granted suffrage to wom-
en-. The war is over. Millions or
women who played a revolutionary
role in 1919 have retired from poll
tics, but they could not retire to a
peaceful home for this peaceful
home was destroyed. Turnout Eu-
rope there is q tremendous housing
crisis which is undermining the
roots Of the bourgeois family.
The situation of the working
woman has become worse. She is
the first victim of the capitalist Of

be cut, and when a reduction of en-

impressions while they are still fresh.
Let us begin by facing the fact that
it's a real job, this haling a stranger

getting the money right away for a

Bourgeois firms, selling by agent
have understood this so well that al
most invariably nowadays, the agent
says, "you don't have to pay to-day"
and "pay the postman or agent upon
delivery" In present day America
anyone who is at all easy to sell to-
had better crawl in a hole and hide
if he wants to survive. To fail to see
this, to fail to understand something
of the annoyances visited daily on
householders, particularly in large
cities is to fail to see life.

me from the door step will earn his

to distribute the DAILY WORKER
from door to door every night for a
week and then go around on Sundays
and pick up the subs.
Subs may come slowly, but one does
make contacts, hears the ideas of
people outside the party and the ex-
perience is invaluable. We went in

FRANCE MUST PAY
40 MILLION A YEAR
Paris Governments War Debt
to United States Totals
S3,34O,5I6,O43.72.

Washington.-The American debt
funding commission handed it's plan
for the settlement of Frances war debt
to the French delegation.
This scheme provides that France
pay in the neighborhood of $40,000,000
annually for the first annuities, the
initial payment being made before
January l, 1927.
In so many words NJ. Caillaux was
told that his original offer was out,
and that the proposal of paying $685.
100000 with reservations and cOndi-
tons made it so unsatisfactory that it
could not even be reconsidered.
NJ. Caillaux replied that his offer
represented a sincere effort and that
no other French government could or
would make better proposal.
Mr.. Mellon rejoined that he would
offer the French delegation written
outline of Washington's idea of fair
settlement. This outline was single
typewriter sheet of paper.
First, it cleared up the question of
principal which the French no longer
insist on splitting into political and
commercial portions of the debt, and
registered the agreement that the obli-
cation totals $3,340, 516043.72. On this
head there is no further argument.
Second, the statement reiterated the
accrued interest, amounting to $780,
040,904.55 to the last date of computa-
ton, which, with the principal, gives
the grand total of $4,210, 500, 94S.27, but
left a loophole there for negotiation on
the interest.
Th6rd, the statement provided for
one-half of l per cent amortization on
til, principal annually, or $16,702,-
5SO.22. as an initial start toward the
annuity.
Fourth, the $2O,OOOOOO annually
which France has been paying as in
terest on the acquisition of $4O0,000,00O
of A. E. F. war stocks, purchased
in 1919, was picked up.
Fifth, it was stipulated that the an
nuities run for a period of 60 years,
expiring not later than December 81,
1888, in conformity with the terms of
the British, Belgian, and Latvian agree
ments, this period being decided on
as uniform for all other war debts
also.
Last it was proposed that the ex-
perts representing the two commits
sions be instructed to figure out a grad
uated series of annuities, beginning
with a payment next year of sum
in the neighborhood of $40,000,O0O and
calculated not to exceed $45O0O,O0O.

United States would not be Honolulu,
but Alaska, the capture of which
would expose the country to an open
attack from submarines and aircraft
He also asserted that no surface YES
sci could exist where aircraft were in
operation, declaring that airplanes
could put out of commission any naval
surface vessel more completely and
quickly than any other method of at
tack.
He assailed the administration of
the army, asserting that the army gen.
eral staff was incompetent to draft air
policies, and placed upon the general
staff the blame for what he called the
Impoverished and inefficient condi-
ton of the air service. He charged
that ranking naval officers looked upon
aviation as a mere subordinate adjunct
be pushed "out to sea to fight where
1t belongs"
Colonel Mitchell told the board that
he had eight papers to read, all in
structive, and one more which was de-
structive. He was told that he was
free to read what he liked
The destructive paper, he said, dealt
with the administration of the army
and navy air services. The other
eight dealt with coast defense, sea-
craft, the air force personnel, civil and
commercial aviation, the effect Of air
power on world armament, the air adj
ministratiOn of other world powers,
and plan for remedying defects in
the American system
He contended that In future wars
loss of air control would mean the
immediate capitulation of the nation
losing it, with only a defensive army
to fall back upon as last line.
Against this situation the United
States has made no preparation and it
would take from three to five years to
organize and equip an effective air
force, he declared.

Washington.-The United States has
no air force for defense worth speak
ing of, Col. William Mitchell, who pre-
cipitated the aircraft controversy and
investigation, declared before Presi-
dent Coolidge special investigat 2
committee.
Neither in personnel nor equipment
is the present air force adequate, he
declared, asserting that development
of aircraft in America has been 'slow
and inefficient" He reiterated his de-
mand for a department of national de-
tense, with the air force as a separate
unit with the army and navy This, he
asserted, should be done by the next
congress.
"The present aircraft equipment
consists of twelve old WORKOUT pur-
suit planes and twenty-five old bomb
ers. All the rest are DH-4 Liberty
engine planes which are old, worn out
and dangerous to fly" he said.
The United States now stands ex-
posed to an air attack which could
reach our cities and inf1ict serious
damage from both the Atlantic and the
Pacific, he asserted.
There is no reason to expect hostile
relations with the British but in plan
ming defense this must be taken into
consideration" he said. "Great Brit
ain dominates the Atlantic and is
strong in the caribbean. Her fleet of
1000 airplanes could be landed in
Nova Scotia in eight to ten days, and
from there as a base could reach

Jardine Warns Chicago

Observation-Disclosures on the part of
the Chicago Board of Trade to take
immediate steps to adopt proposed re-
forms will lead to action with view
to suspension or revocation of its des-
ignation as contract market, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Jardine warned.
Recognizing that the wild fiuctua-
lions of May wheat were, in the opin-
ion of the department, due to manipu-
lation, cannot escape the conclusion
that it is imperative for the board of
trade without delay to set up admin
istrative machinery to prevent recur-
renee of such a condition." said Sec
rotary Jardine.
"A failure on the part of the board
to take these steps Immediately will
leave me no alternative but to inau-
gurate action looking to suspension or
revocation of the designation of the
Chicago Board of Trade as a contract
