HONOR DEAD LEADER
French Workers Pay Tribute to LaendIer

PARIS, by Mail) On the 3rd Of
March the body of Laendler was Gre
mated in the Cemetery of Pere La
chaise. The Partisan working class
gave the dead leader the last honors.
The Communist Party Of France,
the c. G. I. u, the Paris district of
the Railwaymen's Union had appealed
to the Partisan workers through
"L'Humanite" to honor the dead
leader by mass participation in the
procession from the Lyons railway
station where the body arrived from
Cannes, to the cemetery of Pere
Lachaise The workers of Paris re-
sponded to this appeal. Numerous
delegations of the organizations of
the Communist Party, the revolu-
tionary trades unions &C. G. T. ",
the railwaymen and the Red Aid were
present at the station. The Hungarian
emigrants in Paris appeared in great
numbers.
When the coffin was lifted from
the carriage it was surrounded by a
sea of red flags. The station itself
and the square before the station was
filled with the masses. The process
sion moved slowly through the work
ingclass districts of Pere Lachaise.
AS the procession passed the famous
wall of the Federatives the flags and
banners were lowered.
A tribute was paid to the memory
Of the victims of the Paris Commune
and Of the Hungarian Soviet Re-
public. The memorial celebration
took place in the Colombarium. A
group of Hungarian comrades sang
revolutionary songs. French COM
rades then spoke in the name of the
party and the trades unions. In con-
clusion Hungarian comrades spoke.
The meeting was concluded by the
singing of revolutionary songs.

OLDS, WHO FAXED
MEXICAN PILOT"
WILL LEAVE JOB
Led Propaganda Attack
Against Nicaragua

WASHINGTON, March 20 (FP).-
Robert E. Odds, under-secretary of
state, and former law partner of Sec
rotary of State Kellogg, will leave
the department some time this year.
the department announces. Odds
gained notoriety in November, 1926,
when, in his capacity as an assistant
secretary of state, he sought secretly
to induce the telegraphic press asso-
Citations to picture the Mexican gov
eminent as fomenting a Bolshevist
"plot" throughout Latin-America.
At that time the state department
was seeking pretext for its send
ing marines to crush out the liberal
revolution in Nicaragua. Mexico had
recognized the liberal government.
Odds called in certain press CORE
spondents and informed them in con-
fidence that the department knew
that the Mexican government was
seeking to create "a Bolshevist hege-
mony" in this hemisphere.
A similar fantastic charge was
made in the Hearst newspapers near
ly a year later. The documents or
which Hearst built up his case, when
submitted to experts, were declared
forgeries. The state department al
ways denied that it had received or
seen these forgeries, yet the depart
ment has never explained the basis
of Olds' nightmare.

1Pravda. The statement follows in
full:
Over year ago / read this same
forgery in respectable American
magazine. The most amusing part of
this incredible nonsense is that it was
invented originally in Germany I'M
der the name of the real author,
half-mad menshevist named Britain
who was, if | am not mistaken, ex-
PEELED from Moscow.
This Britain whom l have had
neicher the honor nor the pleasure
of meeting, obviously imagines him
self to be an author, and has con-
cocted very mediocre attack upon
the bolshevists which differs from
the normal menShevist attacks to the
extent that Britain deviates from the
normal type of menshevist. The yenal
prostitute boulevarde press Of Poin-
care and OF the Hindenburg Republic
now obviously in preparation for the
coming elections) considers it neces-
sary to produce a sensation and it
therefore accompanies the production
of Britain with delighted remarks
about the confession of Comnau-
mist leader "a psychological dccu-
ment of the first order etc.
Whoever has the least acquaint-
ance with our conditions can recog-
nize Immediately that those who are
operating with this document of
Britain, fall into two categories: The
swindlers and the fools. The swind-
lers wish to seek advantage for
themselves from this forgery and the
fools believe the swindlers who are
leading them by the nose. By the way,
Macdonald has been showing fo1
years by his personal example that
the two categories mentioned may
very often be found united inside
one skin.
GAS far as Britain is concerned he
is now in a position to demand pay
ment for his work in at least three
countries, the United States, France
and Germany, and probably in the
future in other countries also. Per-
haps this payment may contribute to
the protraction of the life of the
Socialist Messenger and similar pro-
ducts, which without some support
from the pockets of the bourgeoisie
would democratically fade away.
''For long time paid no'attention
to the appearance of this document,
but when l saw it published again
and again amidst great applause
from the bourgeois press representa-
tives, came to the conclusion that
there must really be more swindlels
and fools in the world than | had
thought. l wanted to communicate
this conclusion ID my readers"

BRITISH COTTON
BOSSES RETREAT

LONDON, March 20.-As a result
of the successful strike of the cotton
operatives at the Acqueduct Mill at
Staylbridge, the Federation of Master
Cotton Spinners has withdrawn its
demand for a lengthening of the
working week from AZ to 52h hours.
The federation is now seeking to re-
sumo conferences with the trade
union.
In spite of the "conciliatory" atti-
tude adopted by the trade union lead
ers, the rank and file of the opera
tives have made it clear that they
will accept neither the 1914 per cent
wage cut demanded by the employ
ers nor longer working week.

in factories and shops of the reformist
trade unions. The problem Of Great
ing a single international remains in
spite Of the persistent refusal of the
Amsterdam International to pay any
attention to the demands and interests
of the masses. Unity tactics consist
not in correspondence, not in worth
less negotiations, but in the organi
zation of the still unorganized

with the r. l. L. U. must become mass
organizations. The question Of unity
will be solved by direct struggle

sooner will we attain unity. e'

"The program of the II. |. L. u.
amounts TO struggle against the
longer working day, for seven hour
day as the maximum, for six hour
day in underground work or in harm
full industries and for youths under
eighteen, for struggle against the
lowering of the standards of living,
for a raise in real wages, for broad
traddknnion democracy, for a drawing
in of the tinskilled unorganized work
ers in the trade union movement. for
a struggle against the fascist, yellow

bitration, against the submission Of
conflicts between labor and capt al to
the bourgeois courts; for single
united front of all workers in strug-
gle against capitalism and the bour-

This program must gain the ut.
most popularity Of the broad working
masses. The members and friends
of Red international of Labor Unions
will be able to resist the blows of
the fascist reaction and the white
terror when they will be organicaly
tied up with the working masses.
Therefore the Congress must inform
all organizations affiliated with the

that they must penetrate the factories

A discussion of Losovsky's report

The peasants were attempting to
prevent a bankruptcy sale. Using

The clash was regarded by many
as indicative of the growing unrest
