WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The
American counter proposal for fund
ing the French lebt was laid before
the French debt mission today and
from indications it was very disap-
pointing to the French.
After consulting President Cool

tary of the Treasury Mellon laid the
proposal before Finance Minister
CalllauX in a brief session.

dismissed rs soon us the counter Of
fer had been read and then handed
t. them.
AS the French delegates filed out
OF the room, Disappointment was
plainly written ON their faces. Thev
seemed downcast ut what appeared
to be a flat rejection of their first
terms and the stiff agreement pro-
POSED by the Americans.
The American commission con
tinued in session for short whlio
after the French left.
Follow Usual Plan
Under Secretary of the Treasury
Winston said after the French left
that the negotiations were ''proceed'

and counter offcr.'
He added. however, that there WIS
no sign of break up of the nego
tiations and that, on the contrary,

No official version of the counter
offer was made public, but experts
estimated that the American would

1t Speaks for Whole Class.
1t is quite natural then that the
Communist press, being what it is,
! speaking for the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party, having no interests aside
from those of the working class,
should champion the cause Of political
prisoners. Readers of the Communist
papers the world over, In all Ian
guages, workers who have been read
ing the Communist papers of America
need not be reminded of the many
cases Of working class political pris-
oners Of capitalism which have been
detailed in them, well know that this
is because Of the importance and
significance Of such cases. They know
that Communist papers call for action,
for all workers and workers organiza-
tions to rally to the support of politi-
cal prisoners, to do everything pos
sible in the way of concerted action
and mass protest, because Communists
and Communist papers know that the
cause of political prisoners is the

BY GEORGE MAuRER.

THE Communist Party, and there
/ fore the Communist press, has no
interests aside from those of the work
ing class as a whole. The interests of
the working class, from its most
advanced leaders to the most Cypress
ed wage slaves are in constant con-
fiict with the interests of the employ
ing class and its instrument, the
capitalist state.
As the class struggle intensifies the
capitalist class more openly and
ruthlessly, and with ever greater
frequency, uses its instruments to
suppress working clcass opposition to
its slave driving rule, and to gain
more privilege for the employing
class. These capitalist instruments
are popularity known as the forces Of
government" Flaw and order" and
"justicel"
Europe's Open Conflicts.
In Eureope we see how far things
have developed--fascist dictatorship,
Horthy's murderous irol heel, the
white terror, the workers and revolu-
tionary working class leaders, Com
munists, murdered, jailed by thou
sands, their organizations attacked by
white guards, and we see the workers
building their counter-offensiv rally
ing to the Communist Party and press,
aiding and defending the political
prisoners--the victims Of the class
war.
In full sense, workers and working
class leaders, especially those who are
most actively, militantly and effective
ly fighting the battle of the workers
against capitalism--are made victims
of capitalist punishment, the only
political victims. To a capitalist
dictatorship, workers who fight to
wipe out that dictatorship are natur-
ally its only true (class) political
enemies.
Workers--Not DiIettante, Suffer
During the war, of course, even a
few bourgeois supporters of the
capitalist order, who happened to be
non-resistant pacifsts, and a few
philosophical individualists" who op-
posed capitalism's war and draft were
made political prisoners. But the
overwhelming bulk of political pris-
oners and victims in capitalist states
were, are and will be in increasing
number, workers, especially radical
workers and more particularly revo-
lutionary workers-Communists-who

have rarely made Roadway.
Immediate displacement of tens of
thousands OF workers with the result
ing drift and maladjustment is the
first hardship which he mentioned as
likely. He noted that a saving Of
100000 to 1OO,OOO,OOO tons of coal
represents the livelihood OF $4,000 to
100000 miners. IF to this are added
the similar tho less striking disturb
ances where the new power replaces
thousands Of other workers on the
railroads and thruout manufacturing
industry IL is clear that the problem
OF immediate hardship alone is a
very real one" he says.
The more lasting evil resulting
from such displacement will be It's eff
feet on the labor standards OF the in.
dustry out OF which these men we're
squeezed, due to the weakening of
the bargaining power OF those who re.
main. Dealing specifically with the
hundreds OF thousands driven out OF
the industries affected he said:
"There is every prospect that the
greater number OF these men will
cling for a considerable time to their
old industries. ready to accept part
time employment or lower wages and
so pull down the standards OF their
fellows, rather than take up the
search for unfamiliar work. The pro-
cess may we'll be long enough drawn
out to break down standards that are
themselves the product OF long years
OF struggle and even cripple or de-
