shown equally by the pro-unity de.
cisions of the trade union federation

ers' parties, was also an expression
of this unification trend. The slogan
for the founding of a labor party was
nothing other than an attempt to give
organizational form to the pressure
OF the working masses for unity.
The analysis of the situation shows
that the tactics of the Norwegian
Communist Party in Selling the initia.
tive for the formation of a Labor
Party was absolutely correct. OF
course there are dangers, and even
very great dangers, connected with
this correct united front tactic.
There are many elements of our
Norwegian Party standing too far
right, who do not fully comprehend
the Independent leading role of the
Communist Party, 50 that the posi-
bility might arise of our party's dis
solution in the formless porridge OF
Labor Party. For this reason it is
a vital question that the Communist
Party enter the Labor Party as an
autonomous party IN every respect,
under the maintenance of its com
plete independence, Its own organiza.
zion, its discipline and it's theology.
On the other hand, however, there
presents themselves also the dangers
Of ultra-left sectarianism, which op.
poses the Labor Party on principle
and does not understand that thru
the formation of such Party we
create a peerless tribune for Com
munist propaganda, and that we take
into our own hands the mighty slo.
gan of working class unity.
1t would, therefore, be absolutely
wrong to allow the theological leader
ship in the campaign for a Labor
Party, as a united front organization,
to slip out Of the hands of the Com
munist Party, but It would likewise
be a mistake to found a Labor Party
in miniature, as mere cloak for the
Communist Party.

Cleveland Celebrates
Comintern Anniversary

CLEVELAND, March II. = The
demonstration arranged by the Dis
trict Executive Committee of the
Workers (Communist) Party in
Cleveland on the anniversary Of the
Communist International was a SPLEEN
did success.
More than 1000 people crowded the
Moose Auditorium and from the be-
ginning to the end was enthusiastic.
One of the important features of the
celebration was the showing of the
Lenin Funeral Film.
Comrade Sadie sAmter opened the
meeting, telling of the meaning of the
Seventh Anniversary of the Comm
tern. The main speaker of the meet
ing was /. Amter, district secretary of
the Workers (Communist) Party.
Comrade Amter traced the history of
the Communist International from the
beginning of the World War, when
revolutionists like Lenin and the Rus
sian Bolsheviki recognized that the
Socialist International was dead and
hat a revolutionary international
must take its place, to the present
lay.
The speech of Comrade Amter was
punctuated with frequent applause.
The Slovak Workers Chorus and the
Ukrainian Workers Chorus sang
some revolutionary songs.

With regard to point 4 the follow.
ing is Of interest:
al The fact that during the course
Of last year 500 million dollars were
invested in Canada, which already be-
longs economically to the United
States.
b The fact that the zinc mines
formerly belonging to Giesches Erben
in Poland and German Upper Silesia
are actually being run by foreign cap
ital, having passed into Harriman's
hands.
Cd The great loan to the little Afri-
can negro republic Of Liberia, where
America capital is preparing for
rubber planting enterprise on large
scale, etc.
The English bourgeoisie is equally
anxious to place capital export in the
service of industry. Thus the last few
weeks witnessed the purchase of two
German chemical works: the Harbur-
ger Schon and the Coholyt, by English
capitalists. And on the other hand
the loan to the German Textile indus
try Bank was accompanied by the sti-
pulation that the money was not to be
passed on to firms actually competing
with English textile industry. For in
Stance, not to firms working with
looms of certain dimensions, and thus
producing cloth in English measure
ments.
A loan Of political significance Is
that Of one million pounds granted in
London, during the last few weeks,
to the Hungarian big landowners. If
the Americans support the Italian
Ifascists, the hypocritical English bour-
geoisie is not behindhand in lending
money, at good interest and on good
security first mortgages up to 0O%
of the value of the big landowners
land), to the murderers and money
torgerers forming Horthys court.
To sum up, we see that the export
of capital is again being employed as
a weapon for imperialism. And we
see. that the economics of the whole
OF Europe are becoming more and
more dependent either on America
or on England, which still endeayors
to compete with America.

Ten men sprang to their places and
came to a swift attention, before his
severe scrutiny. There was a tense
silence-no word was uttered. He
calmly passed down the row of uni
formed men standing at attention.
Then, with a sudden energy, he
flung off his hat, threw off his coat,
and cast off his collar. He swung
around, he faced the waiting line. His
face was dark, and his glance was
keen and stern. He picked his man.
He advanced with a firm but cautious
tread. He stopped two feet away. In
a low voice, full of meaning, he said !:

Oldest College Fraternity

Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest Greek
letter college fraternity In the United
States. It was founded December B,
1776, at William and Mary college,
and had established chapters at Yale,
Harvard and Dartmouth before 1900.
It was originally secret and social in
character, but gradually this was
dropped and the fraternity became
what 1t is today-an honorary society,
membership in which is conferred at
graduation, or shortly before, upon
those students who stand best in schol-
arship throughout their college course.
To be chosen is a high scholastic
honor. Women as well as men may
belong. The Greek letters, Phi Beta
Kappa, stand for 'Phisosophia Biou
Kubernetes," meaning philosophy the
guide Of life" The emblem Is a small
gold watch key.

by one in which every member was
republican.
He presented q motion of non-con-
f:dence in the government, but the
fate of the cabinet remained in the
balance when the reichstag adjourned
until noon tomorrow without taking a
vote.
Denouncing Soviet Russia for giving
moral, if not financial support to
German militarists, he declared that
as late as last September and Octo-
Der four ships landed at Stettin from
Leningrad with munitions manufac-
tured in Russia, for secret German
army.
While the nationalists shouted:
traitor, blackguard, that's treason"
and Chancellor Marx, communist MEM
bers and others denied the truth of
the charges, Scheidemann cited names,
places and, figures which he said
showed that defense minister Gessler
was t'tool of the monarchistic
junkers."
AS Scheidemann made his accusa
tions, the nationalists, pointing to
the diplomatic box, in which foreign
representatives, including American
Ambassador Schurman, were seated,
cried: why reveal these things to
our enemies?' then left the cham
ber.
The social democrat leader replied
that the allies knew all about the
"rotton militarfstic conditions in Ger.
many" and that the Germans might
as we'll correct the conditions them
selves as to have the allies act for
them.
Chancellor Marx denied that gov
eminent funds were being diverted
illegally for miltartstic purposes,
defending the Reichswehr as a de-
pendable instrument for safeguard
ing the state and asserted that the
boarding of arms and illegal mill
taristtc organizations referred to
! conditions of years ago, but which
were non-eXistant now.
! Scheidemann charged that secret
military chief of staff existed in
/ the ministry of war, which, since
| 1928, collected 7O,OO0,OOO marks an
! nually for the secret manufacture
of arms and the establishment of a
| junkers' airplane factory in Moscow
which went out of business after
! building several hundred planes for
