external contradictions of capitalism
are sharpening. lit is more difficult
to commence labor struggles today,
but once they are begun they become
more bitter and revolutionary. Severe
struggles may be expected in many
countries in the immediate future
tho final victory for the Communists
is hardly likely. The leftward swing
of the masses is accompanied by
rightward development of certain
sections of the workers with the
simultaneous growth of Communist
and social democratic influence. The
Communist and social democratic
electoral victories are different, but
the latter's victory must not be un-
derestimated because it is based on
a great party, deeply rooted tradi-
tionally and organizationally in the
masses and supported by the trade
union cooperative, etc. The election
showed that the German workers
still believe that the social demo-
cratic ministers mean economic ad-
vantages for the workers.

Sikander, of India, was chairman

it had exposed the reformist leaders.
The reformists refused to fight the
capitalists but were fighting the

He declared further that the General
Council was the greatest hindrance
to the workers struggle.
Nischevitz, of Germany, declared
that naturalization is causing work

hence the Communists must do more

WAR Debt TALK
Cloaking Militarism to
Be Sole Concern

WASHINGTON, July 29.-That
the iron hand of American eco
nomic empire will not be removed
from the millions of European work
ers, although an attempt will be
made to cloak its mailed fist aspect
in the multilateral peace treaty, was
made clear yesterday with the state
departments confirmation of the ru-
NOR tina twar debts will form no part
of Secretary of State Kellogg's bust
ness with the European diplomats
when he goes to Paris next month to
add his signature to the peace pact
which bears his name.
The briefest possible visit is
planned by Kellogg, according to the
state department, thus effectually
rendering impossible an discussion
of the r debts which the European
powers piled up during the late war.
Despite the ridicule to which the
multilateral peace treaty has been
subjected by large sections in every
country in which it has been openly
discussed, considerable solemnity
will be thrown over the occasion by
the powers involved. j. T. Mar
riner, chief of the division of West
ern European affairs of the state
department will sail shortly to pre-
pare the continent for Secretary
Kellogg's approach, and it is planned
to have Sir Austen Chamberlain, the
British foreign secretary and the
French foreign minister, Aristide
BRAND, affix their signatures to the
treaty at the same time that Kellogg
signs for the American government.

ers at Limoges, several hundred
workers yesterday attempted to lib
crate him and were met by the clubs
of the police.
The report, which arrived here
from Limoges today, states that po-
lice reserves have been called out
and put into action against the
workers and that soldiers in the
neighboring garrisons are being held
in readiness for use in case the po-
lice are unable to cope with the
situation.
The effort to liberate the jailed
worker began shortly after his ar
rest on charges of handing out leaf
lets to shoe workers.
A large crowd, chiefly workers
from the shoe factories, is reported
to have formed Immediately and to
have begun a march on the Jail.
Arrived in front of the prison the
men demanded that the prisoner be
released. When this was refused
them, they undertook to release him
themselves.
Frantic calls for aid from the
prison authorities brought the po-
lice to the scene. They attempted
to dispense the workers with their
clubs, but this proving ineffective,
reserves were rushed to the strug
BILE. They also failed to stop the
workers, who had already entered
the Jail before they were overpow-
cred by the authorities.
Following the crash a number of
arrests were made but the workers
refused to leave the streets and
massed in the center Of the city
where they continued to demonstrate
and demand the release of the i'm
prisoned worker.
A heavy guard has been placed
around the prison.

MOVE TO SMASH
ROSARIO STRIKE
Mayor Gets Ownership
Transfer Decree

ROSARIO, Argentine, July 90
An attempt to smash the general
strike here by an indirect vancouver
in signing over the street railway
administration from private hands
to the municipality was in course
of being effected yesterday. The
move, which is in the form of de-
cree of transfer of ownership is at
present before the mayor for sigma
ture.
Workers Confident.
While labor leaders here are con-
fident that the change in owner
ship cannot seriously affect the
progress of the strike, they see in
the vancouver a guarantee by the
authorities that force will be used
against the strikers and justified in
order to keep a goyernment-owned
public utility in operation.
Deep resentment, rather than
alarm was the characteristic feeling
of the strikers yesterday, following
announcement that the decree was
pending.
eve do not fear the Decree" the
leader of one of the striking unions
is quoted as saying. "The strikers
are in position of power, but we
are also conscious of what the gov
eminent intends in effecting this
transfer of authority. 1t is another
instance of how closely the owners
and the government collaborate."
Resentment High.
Complete failure of all efforts to
import strike breakers, following
the total suspension of traction serv-
ice in this city, is moving the au-
thorities and the owners to attempt
drastic action to break the general
strike. The obvious intention of the
owners to take such measures and
to urge the government along the
same path has raised the resentment
of the workers to a higher pitch
than at any previous time during the
walk-out.
Declaring that they would rather
close down than accede to the de-
mands of the unions, the big com
panies have publically announced
that they will not better conditions
of the workers or grant wage in
creases. 1t is believed here that
they have been emboldened by gov
eminent connivance during the last
few days.
The telephone operators, however
have already wrung concessions
from the corporation, which has in
formed the government that it will
be unable to resume service until
proper safeguards have been made
for the workers. Further demands
of the telephone workers are as yet
ungranted.

Mine HOSPITAL
RUN BY BOSSES

SHENANDOAH, Pa, (FP) July
29.-The miners hospital, a cube of
cement and brick on the hill over
looking the town, cost the coal
miners more than 100000. Every
miner donated shifts and many extra
dollars in drives for funds to build
the hospital.
Then the hospital was given to the
state. Immediately it became a polit-
ical battlefield. Miners choice for
the post of chief surgeon was con-
sistently ignored. AS the hospital
became institutionalized, the miners
found themselves left with one lone
representative on the board of
trustees.
Run BY Politician.
Since then the hospital has been
a sore spot with the miners. eve
built it. The politicians have taken
it away from us and run it," they
complain.
Miners were given free treatment
in the hospital for years. Even
when their trouble was not due to
colliery accidents, the hospital policy
was lenient and miners usually for
got their bills for treatment.
Now the hospital is to operate IN
der a new system. A miner is to
be given 90 days to square his bill.
If then the bill still remains unpaid,
the trustees will be empowered by
the new ruling to sell out the miners
furniture throug collection
agency, in order to get its money.
BOSS Machine"
The workers are highly indignant
over this change, to which no pub
licity has been given in the press.
But local unions are passing resolu-
tions condemning the innovation and
denouncing roundly the anthracite
political machine and the whole boss
machine of the boss ridden state of
Pennsylvania"

prepare for war against the Work
ers' Republic, they are conducting
wars of determination against the
independence of colonial peoples.
The American Empire is out to
bring the whole of Latin America
under its iron heel, with its marines
in Nicaragua and thru it's dollar
and diplomatic war on the rest of
Latin America.
The British Empire is suppress
ing with military and naval forces
the efforts of the colonial peoples
in the Orient to emancipate them
selves from the imperial yoke, and
France recently crushed with the
most murderous cruelty the strug-
gle of the people of Syria and Mo-
rocco for independence.
Against the imperialist prepara-
tions for the next war the workers
of the world must make counter
preparations. Under the leadership
of the Communist International the
class-conscious proletariat is organ
izing for a struggle to overthrow
this system that must have it's peri
odical slaughter-fest. The pacifist
illusions broadcast by the socialists
must be combatted. The working
class must be taught that there can
be no peace except the peace of
death for them as long as imperial
ism is permitted to live.
Here in the United States, the
most powerful imperialism on earth,
the Workers (Communist) Party
assumes the task of mobilizing the
masses against imperialist war. :.
In the election campaign its candi-
dates, headed by William 2. Foster
and Benjamin Gitlow, will sound
the war cry, to see to it that it will
be their last, that the workers of
the United States will follow the
example set by the heroic workers
and peasants of Russia in 1917, and
topple the master class into the
abyss of historical oblivion.
"The monster mass meeting on
August 4th shall demand that
neither men, money nor guns be
given to an imperialist army or
navy, that the imperialist war
against Nicaragua must stop, and
that the marines instead of shoot
ing down their fellow workers go
over to the side of the forces fight
ing for freedom, that all American
troops and warships be Immediately
withdrawn from Latin America and
China, that complete independence
be Immediately given the colonies
and semi-colonies of the United
States, that Wall Street keep it's
claws off Mexico, that United
States customs control of Latin
America be abolished and support

governments of Venezuela, Peru and
Chile, that the abuse known as ex-
Intentionally be abolished in
Asia, Africa and Latin America,
that the present mercenary army
and navy be abolished and that the
workers struggle for militia of
the workers and poor farmers in its
place, that the workers fight
against the system of infamous i'm

ton of all war debts and the i'm

solemnly declare that the nations
of the earth will in the future set
tie their differences over the con-
ference table, all the powers are
feverishly preparing and getting
ready to jump at each others
Threats, when the possibilities of re-
conciling their conflicting interests
thru diplomatic maneuvers have
been exhausted.
Secretary of State Kellogg,
while waging war on Nicaragua, is
peddling hypocritical peace treaty
for the outlawry of war. 1t is sig
nificant that Kellogg has not in
vited the government of the Soviet
Union, whose territory stretches
over one-sixth of the earth's sur
face, to be signatory to this treaty.
While the government of the Soviet
Union knows quite we'll that Kel-
logg's gesture is only an imperial
list war maneuver, his refusal to in
vite that proletarian world power to
sign the treaty shows that behind
the cloak of peace the imperialists
are trying to build wall of hos
tile hayonets around the U. S. S. R.
while Kellogg peddles his "scrap
of paper" United States marines
are shooting down the people of
Nicaragua, and United States war
ships ride in Nicaraguan waters
with guns trained on it's seaport
cities. This is the true picture of
the peaceful intentions of the Uni
ted States government.
"This is the policy that Hoover,
the republican party candidate for
the presidency, stands for. This is
the policy that AL Smith, presiden-
tial candidate on the democratic
ticket, stands for. Smith, the demo-
crat, will serve the interests of the
American imperialists as we'll as
Hoover. They are all puppets, and
Wall Street pulls the strings.
Norman Thomas, the socialist
candidate for president, while spout
ing pacifist phrases, is effectively
an imperialist. Against the war
preparations of the ruling classes
he throws up prayers that they be
good, that they look into their col
lective conscience and keep peace
on earth. Thomas spreads illusions
about the League of Nations. AS
long as the imperialists maintain
peace among themselves, Thomas
and the socialists will be content.
They are opposed to an organized
struggle against Imperialism; they
ally themselves with the labor bur-
eaucracy, the chief bulwarks of i'm
periaJism in this and other capital
list countries.
"In the next war as in the last
the exploited masses, the workers,
farmers and colonial masses will be
the chief sufferers. The imperial
lists will as heretofore throw the
masses into the slaughter, and after
the dead are counted and the ruling
class killers have exhausted their
resources the victors will sit down
at the council table and divide the
spoils.
