The response to the appeal for a
Communist Election Campaign Fund
Of 100000 to help mobilize the
masses of industrial workers, agri-

for the struggle against capitalism
is meeting with hearty response
from all sections of the country, ac-
cording to a statement issued yester-
day by the National Election Cam
paign Committee of the Workers
(Communist) Party, 43 E. 125th ST.,
New York City.
In sums ranging from one dollars
to one hundred dollars, Communists

responded to the call for the finan-

carry the message of the class

The first fifty receipts published

election campaign has nationwide
appeal. These contributions come
from industrial workers, agricul-

KEEL | OCG PACT
.ANTI-USSR MOVE
Provides for War On
Soviet Union

BERLIN, Aug. 12.-Moscow cor
respondents forN the Berlin press re-
port an editorial in the Izvestia, the
official organ of the Soviet govern
ment, which cites the Kellogg anti
war pact as a further example of
the enmity of the capitalist world
to the Soviet Union and declares
that the powers would not have a
Soviet representative at the Paris
conference for fear that the frank
ness of such a representative would
complicate the situation.
The Izvestia also cites features in
the pact which it considers to be
dangerous for the continuance Of
peace. The most important of these
is the provision that the treaty will
not apply to non-signatories, which
means that the powers will be able
to carry on war against the Soviet
Union and still not break the pact.
This shows, the Izvestia says, that
the powers are unwilling "to as
sumo an obligation, even a formal
one, to abstain from war in relation
to the Soviet Union"

This is definite proof that the state

part of the bosses to fool the work

then be easier to end all picket lines

RELIEF BODY APPEALS
FOR TEXTILE WORKERS
Especial To Daily worker.)

NOpeclal 10 DdIly WOThef.J
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, August
12.-An urgent appeal for funds
was issued today by the Workers
International Relief, 49 William St.,
which points out the serious situa-
tion that will develop if more mon
ey is not raised at once to aid the
10000 textile strikers and their
families.
Up to the present time, the W.
I. R. has been barely able to take
care of the workers that have re-
quested relief, but as thousands of
more workers apply at the office
daily, the resources of the organiza-
ton are taxed to capacity. Now
the relief office finds itself in i'm
mediate need of several thousand
dollars to meet current expenses.
A special children's kitchen will
be open here shortly. Due to the
lack of funds the w. l. r. is not
able to go ahead with the opening
as well as being hampered with
the general relief work.
All contributions should be sent
to the Workers international Re

Evasive on All Issues

a speech marked by all the evasions
and vote-catching devices known to
the trained politician, Herbert
Hoover, presidential candidate on
the republican ticket yesterday sac
cepted" officially the nomination
rendered him by Senator Moses,
permanent chairman of the party.
On the most important issue be-
fore the world today, the question
of war, Hoover went all the way Of
imperialist hypocricy when he de.
clared, speaking for the United
States, that 1--WE have no hates; we
wish no further possessions; we
harbor no military threats"
Plain Camouflage.
At the moment when every one
of the large nations is frantically
seeking to prepare for war, Hoover
declared that "there is no nation in
the world today that does not
earnestly wish for peace-that is
not striving for peace"
On the question of agricultural
relief, he emphasized the party
pledge which declares for farm
ers' board of representatives to help
solve the problem.
Insult to Labor.
For>the twenty millions of work
ers in the country, he declared that
there has been some abuse in the
excessive use Of injunctions in labor
disputes.
On the issue of prohibition he de-
clared that modification is nulli-
fication and that he would stand by
the constitution.
The speech was delivered at the
Stanford University stadium and
