az the main danger and the swift
energetic measures taken against
Trotskyism.
8.-The sharp rejection OF all ten
denotes of pessimism manifested py
the Opposition in its minimizing or
even totally neglecting to mention
the Party's achievements or the need
for Party unity.
9.-The enthusiastic response to
the plea of the Central Committee
for a bigger and better Party, for a
broader and even more representa-
tive leadership for the proletariani-
zation of the entire Party and all
its leading committees, for merci-
less self criticism of the errors OF
the Central Committee and the Party
as a whole, for strengthening the
Party organization, for organization
of the unorganized, for intensified
ton of the Negro work, for sharp
ened fight against the influence OF
social reformism, and for an ener-
getic Communist campaign against
the imperialist war.
10.-Last but not least, the over
whelming majority of the member
ship is earnest, insistent, and deter
mined to complete the unification Of
the Party on the basis of the &C
ceptance of Communist international
decisions without reservations. The
demand for Party unity made by
the Ford factory nucleus of Detroit
is especially encouraging.
This is the balance sheet of the
successful discussion membership
meetings just closed in our Party.
The Party members, thru their un-
mistakable, decisive voice of sup
port Of the Central Committee poll
cies have taken a real forward step
towards Communist unity and mass
work. This is only a prelude to the
still stronger impetus which the shop
and street nuclei will lend to the
notification Of our Party and towards
it's establishment as mass Com
munist Party to lead the workers
in the United States, under the BAN
ner of the Communist international,
to the overthrow Of American CAPT
talism

The armies attacking Kabul, pre-
sumably under the general direction

Meetings.
To summarize: The lessons and
outstanding features Of the recent
membership meetings are:
1.-The general increase in at
tendance, the larger number partici-
pating in the debates, and the high
er theological level.
2.-The overwhelming support for
the Central Committee by the mem
bership, particularly marked by a
substantial increase within the last
year. The present Party leadership
has broader and deeper support
than any of our Party leaderships
had.
3.-The special strength of the
Central Committee support in the
most proletarian section Of the
Party-Pittsburgh, Cleveland, De-
troit.
4.-The emphatic demand of the
membership that the Opposition drop
its policy of reservations towards
Comintern decisions.
5.-The categoric rejection by the
vast majority of our membership of
the Opposition's persistence in main
tanning a caucus machine, fac
tional apparatus to perpetuate the
fractional struggle in the Party.
6.-The unmistakable desire of
the membership as a whole, to put
an end to the cursed "two-party''
system of groups in our Party.

lment of the Central Committees

Further testimony thai .Neff, former
Governor of Texas, exercised @ wrong
attitude in mediating labor disputes as
member Of the board was heard ly
the committee today and Neff offered
rebuttal testimony in an effort TO show
that he had acted properly.
H. j. Carr of the Machinists' Union
told the committee that Neff had at
tempted to argue railroad workers into
dropping their case for higher wages
against the Fort Smith 81 Western Rail-
road of Arkansas on the ground that
the company was not making money.
Nef said he had presented the work
ers' demand Strenuously before officials
of the railroad company, but had been
convinced that the company was losing
$4,000 a month.
Carr declared that the company
originally had offered the men Scent
an-holIr increase, but after Mr.. Neff
came in they could not even get that. -
The former governor asserted that
another member of the board also had
investigated the case and had come to
the same conclusions and that an
official of the national union to which
the workers belonged advised that the
case be dropped for the present.

Demands.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Further changes in duties and CLASH
fications in the cotton manufactured
products section of the tariff act were
proposed to the House ways and means
committee today on resumption of hear
ings on tariff revision.
An increase to between Ga and SO
per cent ad valorem in the present duty
of so per cent on velveteens was re-
quested by F.. E. Richmond, Providence,
r. l., representing yelveteen manufac-
turerS.
A separate classification for all dyed
velvet ribbons with uniform rate Of
duty not to exceed SO per cent ad
valorem and lower duty on un-dyed
ribbons to encourage dyeing in this
country was urged by A. w. Mcdonald.
representing the National Council of
American Importers and Traders. Cot
ton ribbons are now dutiable at so per
cent and silk and rayon ribbons at
higher rates.
Growers and Spinners Unite.
Cotton growers and manufacturers
and textile workers Joined hands yes
terday in petitioning the committee for
relief in the new tariff bill.
Representatives of the manufacturers
and workers described unfavorable con-
ditions in the New England textile in
dustry as acute and asked higher duties
on fine yarns and cloths. Representa-
tive Wilmington, Democrat, Mississippi,
on behalf of growers, sought duty
range of from Z to "a cents pound,
according to length, on long staple cot
ton, now on the free list.
Robert Amory, Boston; representing
the National Council OF American Cot
ton Manufacturers, declared the situa-
ton was particularly acute in the New
England States, where unemployment
conditions are very serious" and that
the higher duties requested would en-
able the manufacturers to compete in
the fine goods markets.
Appearing for the United Textile
Workers of America, Thomas F. Nc
Mahon of New York pictured conditions
among textile workers as deplorable,
and asked higher duties on fine cloths
as means of getting relief through
their pay envelopes.
He said the average wage Of the

with $22 for all American wage earn
ers and added If additional tariff pro-
lection were afforded the manufacturers
they would have no excuse when the
workers approached them for higher
wages.
Urging relief through the tariff, but
suggesting no duties, Mayor Landers of
Lawrence, Mass. said 4,500 persons were
out of work in the cities of Lawrence,
New Bedford, Lowell and Fall River;
that others were working only from

PARIS, January 3l.--France neither
recognizes nor formally assents to the
interpretations attached to the Kellogg
pact by Chamberlain for Great Britain
and by the Senate foreign affairs COM
mittee for the United States.
This is apparently the sense Of the
discussions on the subject now taking
place before the foreign affairs commits
sion of the Chamber of Deputies. The
commission unanimously fayors imme-
date ratification of the pact, but of the
pact alone, not of the reservations or
interpretations which others have at
tempted or may attempt to append
thereto.
At the same time. the commission
desires that it shall be clearly empha-
sized that France Is deeply attached to
the League of Nations peace system.
For that reason, the commission pro-
poses to recommend at the same time
ratification Of the Kellogg pact and
ratification of the Leagues new general
arbitration treaty adopted at Geneva
last September.
