sudsky by a correct application Of the
united front tactic. The struggle be-
tween Germany and Poland over the
permanent seat in the council of the
league of nations, which is actually
the struggle over the German-Polish
frontier, is becoming more intense.
In such situation the concentra-
ton Of the struggle against the ultra
lefts would mean a nourishing of the
right danger which could lead to a
catastrophe as in 1923. We want to

German question is connected with
the whole tactics of the Comintern.
A collective leadership of the Com
intern is only then possible when the
essential connection between the pol
icy of the individual parties and the
COmintern Is cleared up. The tactics
of the Comintern consist in placing
the revolutionary tactics of the prole-
tariat against the tactics of the bour-
geoisie. The tactics of the revolution
airy proletariat counter the attempts
of the bourgeoisie to, bring about a
sterilization of world capitalism and
at the same time the proletariat
strengthens the revolutionary class
front. Having passed the crises the
Tchek and the Polish parties are with
the assistance of the Comintern pro-
ceeding along the road of consolida-
ton. The same is true OF the Italian
Party in which Bordiga has lost his
onetime supporters, and in which 80
per cent of the members stand upon
the basis of the tactics of the Com
intern. The British Party has an al
most completely proletarian leader
ship and it has achieved very great
successes in winning the masses. It
has no differences whatever with the
Comintern. The Ang1o-Russian unity
committee has become an important
revolutionary factor. At the Fifth
Congress the German delegation made
a great mistake in the trade union
question.

The third weak point Is the general

American capitalism is still on the

considerable gains from its imperialist
expansion. This improves the posi-.

our cause" There was no signature.

was used to pay DR.. STATIONS salary,
while at the same time he was making

had improperly used more than 81
100000 of the General Baking Cor
porations funds to finance personal
dealings in it's stock were followed
today that an investigation by a
special stockholders special COM
mittee merely represented an attempt
by William Deininger, former head Of
the corporation. to regain control.
The committee. asking that it be
empowered to take action against
the corporations directors and off,
GERS, asserted that Mr.. Ward and
the Ward Securities Corporation had
turned back to the General Baking
treasury 10000 shares Of class "A"
stock for which they were paid S.
457,935. These transactions, it was
said. were made without the know
ledge or approval of the board of di-
rectors until April 6, when a resolu-
ton rectifying them was adopted.
After the Ward holding had been
unloaded on the corporation at an
average price of almost s72 a share,
the class "a" stock broke sharply on
the curb market. and today reached
new low level for the year at $44.50
before rallying to around $50.
Wards activities, the committee
indicated, were made possible by his
acquisition of controlling interest
in the General Baking Corporation,
which he proposed to use as
nucleus for a s400,000,0o0 merger in
volving the Ward Baking and Con-
tinental Baking Corporations. The
consolidation was never effected and
subsequent plans to form a $4,000

were thwarted by federal action.
