PARIS, Oct. 17.-Dissatisfaction
with the text Of the French reply
to the naval conference invitation
was apparent in many quarters 20
day. Discussing the acceptance note,
several newspapers commented on
the omission of any reference to the
submarine issue and warned the
government against being led into
an equivocal position.

made a statement Of her reserva-

The Echo de Paris treated the
situation in this tone:

not entering the conference until
after they had reached an accord.
Thus, they know where the confer

USSR Will NOT
WITHDRAW FROM
ARMS Meeting
To Continue to Expose
the Hypocrisy of
Inperialists
Litvinoff Makes Reply
Delegates Again Find
Truth Embarrassing

GENEVA, April 21.-Replying to
the League of Nations rejection of
the Soviet disarmament proposals,
Maxim Litvinoff, Acting Peoples
Commissar for Foreign Affairs, yes
terday told the disarmament COM
mission that the Soviet delegates,
tho they have every reason, will not
withdraw from further meetings Of
the League. He declared that they
would stay to "expose to public
opinion all attempts to impede dis
armament" and so as to give the i'm
perialist delegates mo excuse for
attributing failure" to lack of CO.
operation on the part of the Soviet
delegation.
Litvinoff made his formal reply
to the rejection in writing, rehears-
ing the past efforts of the imperial
lists to evade the direct disarmament
proposals of the Soviet Government.
He drew attention to the speed with
which the commission threw out the
Soviet governments complete dis
armament plan year ago, to-
gether with it's refusal to discuss
the partial disarmament until the
present. Now this, too, has been
rejected by the imperialist powers.
He pointed out that only seven
delegates had taken part in the dis
cussion during the week, and charged.
the commission with depriving the
others of a chance to discuss the
Soviet proposals.
Litvinoff further declared that the
preparatory disarmament commits
sion is a sort of screen for the re-
luctance of governments to reduce
ornaments, relieving them of the re-
sponsibility."
The larger part of Saturdays ses-
sion was occupied by Lord Cushen-
dun, the reactionary British delegate,
who expounded his views on chemi-
cal warfare. At the end of the i'm
perialist's soliloquy, Litvinof f
pointed out that three of the four
proposed clauses on chemical war
fare were identical with the Leagues
anti-gas protocol of 1925, while the
new clause was ambiguous.
When Litvinoff's remarks became
too embarrassing, President Louden
again decided that the delegates
needed "time for reflection" and the
commission would be adjourned till
Monday.

c. P. DEN0UNCES
WOMEN J|NCOES


Denouncing the resolutions of the
reactionary militarist Daughters
of the American Revolution" for a
larger navy, more severe immigra-
tion restrictions against Latin
Americans, and oaths of allegiance
by school teachers, the Women's De-
nartment of the Communist Party of
the U. S. A. has issued statement,
which reads in part as follows:
"This and other reactionary wom-
ems societies are urging every avail
able means of propaganda to poison
the minds of women workers and
to prepare them for participation in
the war industries and in the COM
ing imperialist war. The radio, the
press, the churches, the schools, the
movies, have been put at their dis
posal, and they have lost no time
to use them to good advantage"
The statement goes on to con-
trast with the condition of working
women in the U. s., their treatment
in the Soviet Union, where they
have full social, political and eco
nomic freedom with men, special
health protective measures, etc. 1t
denounced the war measures the fas-
cist women advocate.

Miner, Auto and Rail
Correspondents Win
Prizes in Contest

Among the worker correspond
ents who responded in the first
week of the worker correspond
ence contest were many workers
in the great basic industries of
the country. Many of these
workers wrote fine letters on
shop conditions in their shops,
and thus enabled the Daily
Worker to reach thousands of
workers in these important in
dustries. Many letters were sub
mitted by workers in the lighter
industries, also. But basic in
dustry workers captured last
weeks prizes.
We are unable to publish the
names of the winners of the con-
test for last week, for the sake
of protecting these workers.
The winner was the worker
who wrote the letter on con-
ditions of the miners of Cherry
Valley, Pa. His letter appeared
Thursday, describing the wage
cut that followed for the Cherry
Valley miners after John L.
Lewis had conferred with the
bosses. This miner will receive
a copy of Bill Haywood's book.
The second prize, Labor and
Automobiles" by Robert Dunn,
goes, appropriately enough, to
the worker in the Nash auto
plant i'll Kenosha, Wis, whose
letter in Tuesdays paper des-
cribed conditions in this auto
plant. The third prize, copy
of Labor and Silk" goes to the
railroad worker in Minneapolis
whose letter appeared in Tues
days issue.
Due to the fact that many
workers have expressed their
eagerness to win these books, the
same prizes will be given this
week. Enter the contest row.

With the great number of May

manifesto is as follows:

For the Liberation of India From the Yoke of Imperialism
Manifesto Of the Communist International.

The soil of India is rising in
flames under the feet of British i'm
perialism. The flow of the strike
wave surpasses the highest tide of
the labor movement in the earliest
phase of the revolution-1921. The
rapidly growing Left wing unions
enjoy the fighting support of broad
masses. Thousands of workers in
Bombay and Calcutta are marching
and demonstrating under the ban
ner of struggle for the Soviets. The
working masses are ahead even of
the Left wing leaders in all their
actions. The ruthlessly crushed To-
cal peasant reyolts, the participa-
tion Of thousands Of peasants at con-
ferences of the worker and peasant
parties, indicate that the peasant
reserves are beginning to be drawn
into the struggle. The sharpening
