EIGHTBS SESSION
OF COM UNIST
CONGRESS- OPENS
Varga States Changes
Working Class

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., July 27.
Addressing the eighth session of
the World Congress of the Com
nnunist International, Samuelson, of
Sweden, declared that capitalist
naturalization and sterilization had
progressed far in Sweden and that
the workers were answering with
wage struggles. Many wage strue-
giles had already been successfully
carried out by the Communist
Party.
French Ask Change
Thorez, of France, then stated
that the French delegation considers
2 tactical change necessary. In or
der to win the workers a correct
attitude towards the social democ-
racy must be adopted at the same
time that the united front tactic is
maintained from below. The French
delegation further demands special
struggle against the right.
Syphisos, of Greece, declared that
the delegation was in general in
agreement with Bukharin and sug-
gested the formation of Balkan
commission.
Varga States Differences.
Varga then declared that tech
nical progress was causing changes
in the working class. There are
four main factors, he declared
First, unemployment is no longer
temporary but permanent. Second,
the industrial workers are spread
over the whole country in conse-
quence If Identification, khich per-
mits industrial districts to spring
up far away from sources of raw
material. Third, the disappearance
of the difference between the skilled
and the unskilled workers. Fourth,
the formation of new section of
privileged workers on the basis of
naturalization instead of the old
sristocracy Of labor based on skill.
Lacorda, OF Brazil, next declared
that American Imperialism is aban-
doning peaceful penetration in ia
yor of military penetration. The
pan-American Federation of Labor
Is the tool of American imperial
ism, he declared.
S. A. Parties Stronger
Garlic, of Mexico, stated that the
Latin American Communist parties
are growing. They have developed
in the last few years from propa-
ganda groups to fighting parties.
Salas. of Uruguay, declared that
the bourgeois democratic anti-im-
perialist revolutions are coming in
South America and the Communist
Parties must prepare to lead these
further. The Latin American Trade
Union Congress takes place at
Montevideo next year in order to
form an all-South American Trade
Union Federation. The Communist
International must support this.

BETHLEN PLAYS SAFE
Would Haze Others Fight RolsheDiem

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, July
26.-The Hungarian premier, Beth
len, on the question of international
action against the Communists, de-
clares:
"a union of all European powers
against the Communist danger,
which is being called for by many
Hungarian politicians, must meet
great handicaps. First, such
coalition would meet with many
technical difficulties that would
arise out of certain rivalries and,
further, political handicaps would
prevent such work in many states.

SACCO MEMORIAL.
IN MANY NATIONS
Meetings to Be Held
Turnout Country

Sacco-Vanzetti Memorial meet
ings, under the auspices of the vari-
Gus sections of International Red
Aid, will be held throughout the
world during the week of August
10 to 26, it was announced yester-
day. The National Office of Inter
national Labor Defense, 80 E. 18th
ST., New York. N Y, is in receipt
of many communications and cables
from the Red Aid (Rote Hilfe), of
Germany, the Canadian Labor De-
Tense League, the International Glass
War Prisoners Aid of England, the
Red Aid (Mopr) of the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics and many
other sections, outlining plans for
the commemoration of the memories
Of Sacco and Vanzetti, Labor's Mar
tyrs. International Labor Defense
is organizing the meetings in the
United States.
Fight for Mooney.
The Sacco-Vanzetti Memorials to
be held on an international scale are
being linked with the frame-up
against Tom Mooney and Warren
Billings, the two American Glass
War Prisoners about to begin their
thirteenth year in prisons at San
Quentin and Folsom, Calf.
"The case of Sacco and Vanzetti,"
pointed out Martin Abern, AS
sistant National Secretary of Inter
national Labor Defense, Cannot be
treated IN an isolated manner, but
it is necessary to combine it with
the special occurrences of terror and
class justice in each country and to
demonstrate that the Sacco and
Vanzetti case is only link in the
chain of class "justice" and Inter
national White Terror. Mooney
and Billings were framed-up and
imprisoned by the powers of the
Open Shoppers in California and
the consent of American Imperial
ism. Labor throughout the world
sees this and therefore the Sacco-
Vanzetti Memorial meetings will be
utilized to demonstrate for and de-
mand the freedom for Mooney and
Billings"

The route surveyed followed the
ridges from the Big Bend 10 tie

secting the latter at n point abou.
a mile and a half above Point Isa-
