FRANCO-ITALIAN
CONFLICT LOOMS
IN EAST AFRICA
Fascists, Abyssinians
Sign Pact

ROME, Aug. ga pact was
signed here yesterday between the
Italian and Abyssinian representa-
tives that will open new territory in
East Africa for Italian expansion, it
was announced here today.
According to what news has been
released concerning the pact, it is
understood that Duke Abruzzi with
the assistance of leading Italian
banks, has obtained a large tract of
territory in the most fertile part of
Abyssinia, with the full authority
for exploitation.
The country is rich in sugar and
coffee and is Connected with the
Red Sea by an Italian colony.
French interests have already en-
trenched themselves in Abyssinia,
notably in the French owned rail
road and the existing conflict be-
tween French and Italian imperial
ism in Abyssinia is expected to be
increased.

.CROATIAN REVOLT
LOOMS AS SERB
SOLDIERS NEAR
Condition of Raditch
Growing Worse

BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Aug. 8.
AS the Croatian autonomist par
lament holds its sessions in Tag
reb, and the condition Of Stefan
Raditch gradually grows worse,
with almost all hope given up for
his recovery, Serbian troops are re-
ported on the march to Zagreb.
The Serb-Croatian division sharp
ened by the killing of Ristovitch,
editor of Serbian paper, has as
sumed such proportions that the
death of Raditqb may be the signal
for armed uprising and action to-
ward complete secession from the
Yugoslav monarchy on the part of
the Croatians.
1t is thought unlikely that the
statement of the leaders of the
Croatian Peasant Party, requesting
the population to refrain from Eek
IRENE" forms of demonstration, will
be needed by the Croatians, whose
feelings against the Serb dictator
ship have been strongly aroused.

USSR PEASANTS
WILL RECEIVE:
MORE SEED FREE
Increase Distribution
in Villages

MOSCOW. Aug. 8.-The Com
missariat of Agriculture today an
nounced an extension of its distribu-
ton plan, under the provisions of
which the peasants has been receiv-
ing seed for sowing free of charge.
From now on larger quantities of
seed are to be distributed over larger
areas thru the village cooperative
societies. The cooperatives act both
as buying and selling organizations
for the government trusts and the
free distribution of seed of the best
quality will insure a crop of the best
grains.
The peasant, in turn, will agree to
sell certain portion of his crop to
the cooperative for which he will be
paid on the new price scale, which
has been considerably raised lately.
The distribution of scientifically
prepared seed will also aid in the de-
velopment of special cultures and
special grain areas.

Many methods have been used by

The next attempt was to throw
me in a solitary cell. The bed was

attempt also was unsuccessful.
The third attempt was to impose
the maximum sentence of two and a

HIT BROOKWOOD
Refute A. F. of L. Red
Charge

The Young Workers (Communist)
League yesterday issued a state
ment in refutation of the charge
by the American Federation Ex-
ecutive Council that the Brookwood
Labor College is Communistic in its
tendencies.
"Brookwood College is no more
Communist in spirit than the Cen
eral Executive Board of the A. F,
Of L. itself" the statement declares
Cloak of Reaction.
I'm our experience with Brook
wood and its officialdom, which has
extended over a considerable period
and which included two Labor Youth
Conferences called under the aus
pices of Brookwood, we have al
ways found that this institution has
consistently functioned as cloak
for the destructive policy of the re-
dictionary labor takers.
although the labor conferences
were ostensiblys called to advance
the cause of the organization of the
youth, 1t seemed to be the prime
objective of the Brookwood off.

whelming demand of the majority
of the delegates at the second La.
Dor Youth Conference and in the
face of the bitter opposition of the
Brookwoodites that the concrete
organizational resolutions of the
Y u n G Workers Communist
League were adopted.
"Brookwood has always managed
TO play the game of the corrupt anc
reactionary labor bureaucracy as
far as its attitude towards the or.
ganization of the youth is con
cerned.
"As regards its teachings every
body who has eyes can see that its
whole content is the preaching of
class collaboration in a refined
form. Nothing can be further from
Communism than the teachings of
Brookwood.
Only One Road.
"The Young Workers (Commu-
pist) League will continue its strug-
gle against Brookwood and its ide-
ology and will make every effort
to destroy whatever influence it
may have among the working youth.
Communism and the revolutionary
struggle is the only road for the
young workers, as for the working
class as whole, towards emancipa-
tion."

at the possibility of a workers and
peasants revolution in China.
He urged full support of the re-

which, he thought, could alone pre-
vent Communism from rising its
head" and which should be sup
ported by all the powers in order
to prevent revolution.
Professor Blakeslee, of Clark

cussion, stated that Communism

LIBERAL" PAPER
ENDORSES SMITH
La Folle titles Decide
Last Surrender

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - The
last stream of murky progressivism
to empty itself into the sewer of
Tammany corruption is the So
called Peoples Legislative Service,
an organization brought into exist
ence by the late Senator Robert M.
LaFollette, who in 1924 had the
support of the small shopkeepers
and the socialists for the presi-
dency.
The organization Wednesday adj
vised the progressives of the coun-
try to vote for Governor Smith in
preference to Herbert Hoover
through its weekly publication
called the peoples Business"
This is bad progressive weather,
the publication indicates, and by
comparing the republican with the
democratic platforms comes to the
conclusion that the followers of La
Toilette will this year vote for
Smith whom it calls 1.-The Sidewalk
Prince"
The endorsement of the Wall St.
candidate, the avowed candidate of
the country's biggest open-shop in
terests and the leader of the most
corrupt political organization in the
world is taken here as an indication
of the distance the so-called pro-
gressives have gone from their lofty
claims of 1924. The socialist party
today seeks to inherit the estate of
the bankrupt progressives with a
future seen to be the exact dupli-
cate of the progressives.
