The Results Of the National Conference Of
the Communist Party Of France

lead the masses along the way Of eco
nomic struggles as the strike Of the
Breton fishermen, which is now pro-
ceeding, or the movement among the
miners and metal workers of the
Mosel district. These struggles must
be extended into great battles with
the govern1I ent and the rationalizing
capitalists.
The Party leadership has therefore
just initiated broad campaign for
combating the war measures of the
bourgeoisie as well as its economic
and political offensive, which cam
paign is being conducted with quite
concrete slogans.
The National Conference was
largely occupied with the trade union
question. During the whole of the
National Conference a trade union
Committee was sitting which dealt
before all with the question Of trade
union unity. 1t is necessary at the
present time, on the eve of the Ma
tional Congress of the reformist trade
unions Ito be held on July 26th), to
conduct a strong propaganda among
the workers for the realization Of
trade union unity. The National Con-
ference has laid down the following
definite aims in this question; l. In
creasing the membership and in
fluence of the G. G. T. T., which must
be capable of leading the workers Of
all tendencies in a broad united front
of struggle for their demands; 2.
theological strengthening of the Left
wing of the c. G. T., which will rem
der it possible to place the question
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-09-05

of trade union unity on the basis of
the class struggle; 8. organizatory
measures in order to create mass
trade union movement.
simultaneously with the National
Conference of the C. 2. F. there was
held the meeting of the National
Council of the Socialist Party of
France. 1t discussed Paul Boncour's
law regarding the mobilization of the
nation in war time. AS is known, the
socialist parliamentary fraction voted
for this law at the first reading. In
the meantime a strong movement has
commenced among the socialist work
ing class against the Paul BOncour
law. Hence the leaders were COM
PEELED to make number Of purely
formal concessions and to suggest a
few amendments to the law, which are
not of any practical Importance, in
order to have a pretext to vote
against the law at the second reading.
For the rest, the meeting of the Ma
tional Council of the Socialist Party
was entirely dominated by the Right
wing AS a result the proposal of
united front which our National Con-
ference made to the socialist Nation
al Council was not even discussed by
the latter. In spite of this we will
fight unweariedly from below for the
united front, and we shall succeed in
adding to certain favorable results
which we have already achieved, as
in the Province of Saint-e Disc,
where almost all the socialist sec
lions have declared themselves to be
in agreement with out fight against
the danger of war.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Legis
lation to halt the speculative orgy
on Wall Street before the country is
involved in another financial smash
up as in 1907 is demanded by the
Peoples Legislative Service. The
winter session of congress will be
asked by the league to amend the
federal reserve act to prevent the
system from advancing money to
finance security loans, asserts Direc-
tor Basil Manly.
Trouble Ahead.
When the federal reserve bank of.
New York cut its rediscount rate
from A to 31a per cent recently. it
encouraged another wild furry in
speculation with stock prices soaring
to dangerously high levels entirely
out of line with the earnings of the
stocks, warns the Commercial and
Financial Chronicle, staid Wall Street
organ. care we not sowing the wind
with danger of reaping the whirl-
wind, asks the Chronicle. H. Parker
Willis, international authority on
banking and editor of the New York
Journal of Commerce is quoted by
Manly as ASSERTING:
"At the present moment we see in
the stock market a situation in which
the level Of values has been eXag-
gerated beyond what is warranted by
present or prospective yield, or by
intrinsic or book worth. 1t is a
situation which has been permitted
to develop in spite of the presence
of highly organized and powerful
central banking system, and the fact
that it has done so affords prima
facie answer to the question whether
our central banking organization is
or is not opposed to the broad de-
velopment of stock speculation. It is
not only not opposed to it, but has
directly fostered it end has allowed
it>Sto reach hiqhly dangerous stage
of development"
Reserve Banks Violate Spirit of Act.
"The federal reserve act". adds
Manly himself, "as originally enacted
contained language intended to pro-
hibit rediscount of loans made for
speculative purposes. During recent
years the federal reserve banks have
not only violated the spirit Of the
original act, but have repeatedly en-
couraged speculation by artificially
lowering the discount rate,

Grand Street Players
Plan Artzybashoff and
Dunsany Plays

- Due to the success which '"The
Grand Street Follies,, is enjoying at
the Little Theatre, and the indica-
tions that the revue will continue I'M
til late in the fall, plans are now be-
ing made for other productions by the
same organization during the season.
The rights to four plays have been ac-
quired, with the possibility of a fifth.
The plays already scheduled for pro-
duction are eff" by Lord Dunsanny
which was produced five years ago in
London, but not shown here; Maya"
by Simon Gantillon, which has been
running at the Champs Elysees Studio
Theatre in Paris since last winter;
Enemies and Lovers" by Artzy-
bashoff; and "Flipote" by Frederic
Lemaitre.
The first of these productions will
be Enemies and Lovers" already in
rehearsal. This is scheduled for the
middle of September and will be pre-
scented at special matinees so as not
to Interfere with the run of the
"Follies." These matinees, which will
be called "dress rehearsal perfor-
mances," are to be given with cos
tunes, makeup and properties but
without scenery. This represents a
new eparture in presentation
methods. The idea is to test the
worth of play with the greatest
economy in production cost and at the
same time permitting full emphasis
on acting The organization will do
the new productions in association
with Sidney Ross. The Executive
Staff will remain as heretofore, with
Aline Bernstein as designer, Agnes
Morgan as director, and Helen Arthur
as business manager. The group will
continue to be run on its present CO.
operative basis. A new name is be-
ing sought for the players. A prize
Of twenty-five dollars will be awarded
for the winning suggestion.

Labor Must Organize.

LABOR Must Organize.
Editor, Daily Worker:
Sacco and Yanzetti have been muir
dered! Two heroes of the working
class less. And this is only a little
warning for every class conscious
worker in the land of liberty. What
is the lesson of Sacco and Vanzetti
to every worker in the United States {?
In the first place, it shows that the
capitalists are international and that
they stick together in any emergency.
In the second place, labor must or
ganize. Let us build powerful orga-
mutations for ourselves and our chill

Class Conscious.
Dear Comrade.

Dear Comrade:
The cartoon by VIM Chopper which
shows a worker holding sign that
reads: we will never forget, Never
forgive" surely reflects the attitude
OF the class conscious workers of this
and every other country.
II only all workers were one-tenth
as class conscious as the capitalists
are IN regard to their class interests,
what different world this would be.
But it is only through a working
class paper, political party and mill
tant trade unions that the workers
will be able to emancipate themselves

The opposition was as good as non
existent. Not a district had sent OPP
positional delegates There were only
a few Ultra-Left present who, through
the mouth Of Comrade Calzan, raised
oppositional demands, among others
the convocation Of an extraordinary
World Congress Of the Comintern for
the discussion of differences-as if
they had not been sufficiently dis
cussed in the C.P.S.U. and in the
Comintern--, and who wished to point
out imaginary opportunist dangers in
the line Of the Party.
The E-"s-- w.icn lor the rest has
long been insisted on by the Party
leadership---is the existence in the
working class of certain passivity
which our Party has not succeeded in
breaking down. Broad masses Of
workers desire that the "Bloc Of Ma
tional Unity" shall collapse es q re-
suit Of its own policy, and are waiting
for the next left" elections in which
they hope for q new Bloc Of the Left
which will be an improvement on the
old and in which the Communist
shall also take part. The Party must
try to overcome this attitude; 1t must
