Marcel Cachin, Communist deputy
who declared in a speech today that
there was an imminent danger OF
war.
Cachin denounced United States i'm
perialism in Central and South

ply to Foreign Minister BRAND who
declared that France was inclined to
accept "any proposition of accord and
arbitration"
BRAND declared that the differences
between France and Italy could be
settled peacefully" Cachin in reply
pointed to the recent Italian-Albanian
treaty, which is generally regarded as
a threatening fascist reply to the
Franco Yugoslav treaty.

u. S. DELEGATES
TO U,S.S,R, WOULD
SURVEY FASCISM
Compare Labor in Italy
and Soviet Union

MOSCOW, Dec. 1.-America' S trade
union delegation, visiting the Soviet
Union, has asked Premier Mussoiini
of Italy for permission to conduct
similar inquiry into the labor condi-
tions under Fascism
In a telegram sent to the Italian
dictator, Chairman William Watkins
of the American delegation reminded
Mussolini of his invitation extended
to officials of the American Fedora
ton of Labor recently to visit Italy,
investigating political and economic
conditions.
Can we assume" he wired chat
your invitation to American labor Of
ficials is also open to this party COM
posed exclusively of members Of the
American Federation of Labor"
An immediate reply was asked so
that the Americans can base their
program after leaving the Soviet
Union to include at least month in
Italy. The Americans will ask the
same freedom of investigation which
has been accorded by the Russian
trade unions. Reports of widespread
unemployment, serious reduction in
wages, frightening of hours, suppress
sion of trade unions, labor political
parties and co-operatives, and the
failing of active trade union fighters
have reached hte American delega-
ton. On the other hand, Fascist have
claimed a new relationship between
labor and employers in cooperation,
similar to the B. and o. plan in the
United States.
With the example of the Soviet
Unions attitude toward shorter hours,
increased wages and social insurance
in mind, the delegation wishes to con-
trast conditions in Italy under the
Fascist regime.
The Maurer-Coyle delegation of
American trade union officials last
summer requested permission to in
clude Italy in their survey of Euro
pean labor conditions, but this was
never granted by Mussolini.

In spite of this decision of the re-
for1nist trade unions, IS per cent OF
the workers next day went on strike
under the leadership Of the Commu-
mist Party of Spain and of the illegal
revolutionary trade union, which at
this juncture joined in the agitation.
On October 10Th, Primo de Rivera
sent to the governor of Asturia a
telegram, published in the whole of
the Spanish Press, instructing MIN to
take reprisals against all those "who
advocated the strike or it's conversion
into a general strike" Naturally,
the governor carried out his masters
orders. A few days later more than
200 arrests were made.
But still the men remained on
strike. The c. P and the illegal
revolutionary trade union intensified
their secret agitation and propaganda
and managed to keep the leadership
in their hands. Their proclamations
are distributed everywhere. The few
workers, who had returned to work
upon the resolution of the reformist
trade union, came out again and re-
joined the strikers. The strike is prac-
tically general.
Miners Still Out.
The civil guard of Asturia and of
the neighboring provinces is concen-
trated in the coal mining area for the
purpose Of violently suppressing
Communist agitation and of protect.
ing freedom to work" Their efforts
are, however, vain. In spite Of the
starvation involved, in spite Of the
measures Of violence, the miners are
determined not to give in.
Under the conditions at present
prevailing in Spain, the fight Of the
Asturian miners is of great political
significance. 1t shows up the soil
darity existing between the employers
and the dictator government. II
shows to the workers Of the whole
Of Spain, who are also threatened by
the capitalist offensive, the line that
they, too, must take.
The Communist Party Of Spain is
| organizing the solidarity of the
! workers of the whole Of Spain for the
miners Of Asturia. But the help of the
international proletariat is also re-
CURED. The miners of the Soviet
Union have already rallied to the aid
of their brothers in Spain. All other
organizations of the revolutionary
miners must follow this example.

Plan to Shut Down
so -~-s~.e~-
British Coal Pits

LONDON, Dec Thousands more
British miners will be thrown out of
work if the proposed merger of coal
mines and the regulation of output of
coal goes into effect. The merger,
which is the bosses feeble counter
proposal to the naturalization de-
mands of the miners, shows what
complete chaos and decentralization
exists among the British coal mine
owners.
1t is being freely admitted that the
industry is on its last legs and that
only drastic measures can in any way
remedy the chaotic conditions now
prevailing. Only thru a widespread
combination of British mine owners
thru regulation of output and price
fixing, it is believed, can the British
pit-barons hope to undersell their
competitors on the continent.

regime because it has emanated
from a revolution" This attitude on
the part of the United States govern
ment was extremely puzzling because
Chamorro had always been Wall
Streets man, and there was general
suspicion turnout Latin America that
American Imperialism had been be-
hind Chamorro's coup d'etat against
the liberal president Solorzano.
However, Secretary of Stat
Hughes had given wide currency to
the doctrine that "the United States
will have nothing to do with Latin
American governments, which have
come into power by force" and recog-
milton of Chamorro under the cir
cumstances would perhaps have been
too transparent.

For the last few months there nave
been in Spain increasing signs that
in contrast to the passivity OF the
workers during the first three years
of the dictatorship, revival OF the
Labor movement is in progress. Inc
characteristic features of this rising
tide are: the general strike OF textile
workers in Barcelona in June OF TINS
year; the Biscay general strike on
October 10th; the general strike OF
the miners in the Province Of Asturla,
which at the moment of writing Is
still proceeding.
At the end of September Primo de
Rivera issued royal decree, Whereby
the working day in the coal mines was
to be heightened as from October LIST
from seven hours to eight and the
Commission for Solid Fuel, consisting
of representatives of the mine-own-
| ers. of the reformist trade unions and
tof the Government, was at the same
time empowered to regulate the
miners wages, which the owners de-
sired to reduce.

| The Communist Party Of Spain has
| for a long time anticipated this Of
| fensive on the part Of the capitalists
! in the Asturian mines, and in the
course Of this year has carried on 9
( big campaign OF agitation in order To
prepare the resistance Of the work
ers to the prospective attack. During
I the course of his campaign, brutal re-
prisals have been carried out against

the best functionaries Of which have
been thrown into jail. In spite o.
this, the large majority of the miners
appeared to be ready to fight with al
their might against the demands d
the coalowners.

Alongside of he Georgian national
culture, that of the Abchasians, Os-
setes and Adjarians are developing on
a broad basis. The products Of popu-
lar literature are now being collected.
In the past, the Abchasians and Adj
jarians could never have dreamt OF
securing a free development for their
national culture Prior to the estab-

were in Abchasia l46 schools, while
there are at present 270 and kind
ergartens. In Adiaristan there were
formerly 16 schools; now there are

IINTIL the revolution of 1917, Geor-
v gia was divided into separate adj
ministrative units (governments) of
the Russian Empire. It did not exist
as a separate organism. Like the
whole of TRANSIT aucasia, it served the
Russia Empire as strategic basis for
the execution of imperialist expan-
sion in the direction of Turkey and
Persia and at the same time as a
colony with view to the object of
plundering its natural resources.
The development of the economic
and cultural forces of the country
was not only not promoted, but was
artificially kept down.
In its place, the czarist regime
foisted on the country many officials,
military officers, clergymen and mis-
sionaries from aristocratic or bour-
geois circles, all of whom were i'm
bued with national and chauvinistic
ideals. The activity of the entire state
apparatus, the police, the church, the
schools and other institutions, was
directed towards creating an antagon-
ism among the racially mixed popula-
ton Of Georgia and the whole of
Trans aucasia.
The February revolution of 1917
changed practically nothing in the
general conditions of TRANSIT aucasia.
The Russian officials were replaced
by such of local origin, but otherwise
all remained unchanged.
Georgia was turned into colony
Of European Imperialism; the entire
activity of the independent demo-
cratic" government eliminated in the
sending of delegations to European
courts with view to receiving recog-
milton, and stood under the political
and econimic pressure of the troops
of occupation and the high commits
sioners of the Entente countries
Great Britain, France, and italy,,
who had the support of the leaders
of the Second International.
1t was not until Soviet power was
established that the actual liberation
of the Georgian nation came about; it
was only then that advantageous pre-
conditions Of economic and cultural
development began to obtain.
What was then the inheritance
which the Soviet state in this instance
took over from it's predecessors, the
Menshevists? What it took over was
an utterly disorderly, ruined. and ex-
plotted economy, completely irpov-
erished peasantry with the question
Of land distribution yet unsclved, a
pronouncedly hungry and half-naked
working class with works at stand
still, dislocated transport and tlaf-
fic system, complicated and
thoroughly aggravated national quos-
tion, on unsolved state Of affairs as
regards the relations Of church and
state, and q system of brigandage
spread all over the country.
All these questions we have politi-
cally solved. We have put an abso-
lutte stop to what remained Of the
exploitation Of the land by landown-
ers and to the hostilities among the
rationalities in Georgia and all Trans
Caucasia. We have unexceptionally
carried out our Soviet law of the ma
tional insurance Of workers; we have
completely deprived the church and
clergy of all state positions, and have
organized the Georgian Red Army,
