BRAND WAKES
HOPEFUL THAT
PEACE IS NEAR

PARIS, Dec. pa new era of
peace dawning in Europe in 1927, is
the prediction of Aristide BRAND,
French foreign minister.
M. BRAND, who has been working
for months towards Franco-German
rapprochement, expressed the belief
that such a IMPROVEMENT would be
made an actuality.
IL hope that 1927 will see further
development OF the policy of Franco
German rapprochement. have been
bitterly criticized and vilifed, satir,
lied and dashed violently by newspa
pers because OF this policy. A large
part Of the French press reproaches
me for the so-called Locarno policies
But that portion OF the press is
wrong. IL is not In tune with the
country and does not understand
French public opinion.

COmintGrn Urges Whole Party
To Keep The Daily Worker

he whole party must recognize the great
Importance of The DAILY WORKER. Not
only must the paper be made secure financially,
but it must be put higher theological level"
From the Theses of the Seventh Enlarged
Executive of the Communist international.
Recognition of the Importance of The DAILY
WORKER for the revolutionary workers move
ment in this country best be expressed at the
present moment when The DAILY WORKER is
fighting for its future by support of the Keep the
Daily Worker Fund.
The Executive Committee of the Communist
international has well said that it is the duty of the
whole party to make The DAILY WORKER hnan-
cially secure. In the present campaign for the
$4,000 Keep the Daily Worker Fund only little
more than half of the party has responded to the
needs of The DAILY WORKER.
In some of the districts of the party only a
little over third of the party members have made
their contributions to the Keep the Daily Worker
Fund.
To win the fight for The DAILY WORKER
paper must have the support of the whole
party.
Those party members who have done their part
to keep The DAILY WORKER for the revolution
airy movement should answer the call of the Com
munist international to make The DAILY WORK
Err financially secure by sending in their contribu-
tons to the Keep the Daily Worker Fund immedi-
ately.

Kellogg Wants Action.
Kellogg, 1t is understood, is de-
sirous of having the U. S. troops
march roughshod into the liberal
forces camp and destroy the opposi-
ton to the Diaz government, the policy
that Wall Street is urging.
Coolidge, altho having the same de-
sires, however, has his political ear
to the ground and is beginning to see
trouble ahead should that policy be
pursued. He is continually insisting
that the U. S. will not take Sides"
and is growing that at every oppor-
tunity he gets. The victories of the
liberal forces and the practically GER
tain fall of the Diaz government, how
ever are causing Coolidge to realize
that the u S. will be embarrassed"

NJ Y. Corruptionists
lspeeIaI % The oany Worksrl


NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-Judee Grain
has sustained the plea Of officers Of
Local 8, international Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers, charged With
wholesale graft and corruption, that
they be tried nowhere else and by no
other body except the local union. The
executive council Of the international
is restrained from trying the case.
The charge made by the attorney
for Vice-President Breach, represent
ing the executive council, that the
local union was controlled by the al
legged grating officials and that fair
trial was impossible, was oYerruled.
Damning Affidavits.
The affidavits on which the charges
against IL officials of Local are
based, are of such nature as to leave
little doubt that they have been sys-
tematically soliciting brides from CON
tractors for allowing construction to
be on nonAnion basis. levying black
mail on members of the union, taking
brides for allowing workers to join
the union and other violations of the
ethics and laws of International Broth
erhood Of Electrical Workers.
The court ruling makes it necessary
for the honest element which is try
ing to rid the union OF corruptionists
to find other methods of carrying out
their program.
Judge Grain, In the opinion of those
making the charges. has greatly en-
couraged the continuation of the
corrupt practices of which the off,
Gals are accused.

AMERICAN is One
OF four KILLED
BY LITHUANIANS
Murder of Quartet Is
But Beginning

One of the four members Of the
Communist Party OF Lithuania who
were shot by a firing squad for mem
bership in the party in the attempt
Of the new Lithuanian government to
crush the proletariat movement there
was an American, dispatches from
Lithuania relate. The American in
the quartet was Charles Geidres, for
merly union printer in Philadelphia.
All Were Jailed.
Geidres and the other three Com
munists had been imprisoned several
years ago by the former reactionary
government of Lithuania. The sue
ceeding socialist government released
them. But the recently established
fascist government lost no time in
putting them to death. The quartet
had been candidates for parliament on
labor party ticket, and this was the
reason for their first imprisonment.
Part Of Program.
The murder of the four workers is
but part Of the program of the cler-
ical-fascist government towards exter-
minating the leaders in the working
class movement in Lithuania.
An appeal has been made to all
workers in every country to come to
the aid OF the Lithuanian workers to
prevent wholesale slaughter OF the
class-conscious workers.
To Prevent U. s. Loan.
In America the Lithuanian workers
are already starting a campaign to
prevent the United States government
giving the fascist government OF
Lithuania a loan, for which negotia.
tons have been started It is seen
that proceeds from the proposed loan
will be used to finance still more
bloody repression of trade unions and
labor political activity In that country.

BY T. }. o'FLAHERTY.

THE United States government dis
4 claims intention to intervene in
the Nicaraguan civil war. There is
nothing to justify such a suspicion ac-
cording to the state department. Moth
ing indeed, except the landing of ma
rines and the orders of Admiral Lati-
mer that his men "neutralize" the
east and west coasts of the republic.
Which means imposing American
military rule on the entire country.
The latest reports from Nicaragua
are that the bayonet-propped puppet
OF the United States, General Diaz, is
''on the run" and that the liberal revo-
lutionists are close ON his heels This
development is probably what prompt
ed our state department to announce
that it would not continue to support
Diaz.
THOSE announcements and promis-
= es must not be taken without a
large pinch of salt. Diplomats who
tell the truth are candidates for pri-
Yate life. A man who in ordinary
life may be decent fellow, becomes
an outrageous liar the moment he is
given a post In the diplomatic service.
10 Is quite probable that the interests
that want to crush Mexico will con-
tinue the policy of the Coolidge adj
ministration. II the state depart
ment recedes a little from its present
policy II will be merely a maneuver
to gain time and await a more favor
able opportunity.
TN a letter OF greeting to President
Gales of Mexico, Coolidge wrote:
Il hope your excellency viii see in
the aviators' visit another evidence of
the earnest desire of the United
States government and people TO pro-
mots~ good understanding and better
knowledge between the two govern
Nments and peoples" At the
same time the state department is
getting ready to break off diplomatic
relations with Mexico on January 1,
provided the American oil companies
insist on TINS pohcy.
