Question of
Position
Subject of Precedence Arises
With Arrival of Mrs. George,
Vice Presidents Daughter

With the arrival of Vice
President Curtis daughter,
Mrs. Charles P. George,
whose husband, Major
George, has been ordered
here for duty, Washington
is beginning to speculate on
her position in the official
picture.
Just what will be Mrs.
Georges official status when
the question Of precedent
arises?
Logical Answer
The logical answer would
be this: Since Mrs. Edward
s. Gam will continue in her
role of hostess for the Vice
President, Mrs. George will
have no connection officially
with the round of state din
nerS, ETC., which are included
in a Washington season"
However, Mrs. George will
participate in many Of the fes-
tivitieS to be arranged for Mr..
Curtis. And, as the daughter
of the Vice President. many
courtesies in the matter Of
precedence will be extended to
her. But her official posi-
tion lies only in the fact that
she is the wife Of an Army
officer, and will outrank the
wives Of captains and lieuten-
ants.
The position occupied by the
present Mrs. David K. Bruce,
the former Ailsa Mellon, daugh.
ter Of the Secretary of the
Treasury, Andrew Mellon, was
not at all analogous to the
status which Mrs. George will
maintain during her residence
here.
Mrs. Bruce was her fathers
official hostess and was recog-
nized accordingly. However, she
did not take part in many Of
the festivities where her pres
ence was not demanded Off
cially. Unlike many in the
Washington picture. her Off
cial status, socially, meant
nothing to her. She preferred
playing around with her own
young crowd.
To Fort Myer
Mrs. George arrived in the
Capital yesterday from Fort
Sill, Okla, where Major George
has. been stationed. She and
her children will be the guests
of the Vice President and Mr..
and Mrs. Gam at their home
in Cleveland Park, while Major
George is arranging quarters
at Fort Myer for his family.
Their house at the post occu-
pies a commanding position,
and is said to be one of the
most desirable there.

GENEVA ECONOMIC MEET
OF IMPERIALISTS is
DIRECTED AGAINST USSR
Went On at Same Time AS Race for Arma-
ments in London
Capitalist Antagonists Expressed in Fight
for Spells

The almost corresponding failure
of the London naval conference ana
the Geneva economic conference,
which have been going on at about
the same time, presents very re-
vealing picture in the politics of the
world of capitalism. Both confer
ences were delayed and protracted,
the Geneva conference, unlike the
London parley, however, having def
initely resulted in a patched-up
agreement" which is nothing more
than a scrap of paper. The only
difference is that the London con-
ference involves all the big capital
list powers of the world, while the
Geneva conference is only gather
ing of the European countries.
The Geneva economic conference,
which did not receive much public
attention on account of the London
conference, represents an attempt
on the part of the European capt.
talist powers to consolidate the bloc
against the Soviet Union on the
one hand and to organize an econo-
mic united front against the United
States of America on the other.
However, all the unbridgeable an
tagonisms between the different

powers became evident as soon as
the confer ence met. The delegate
fought like hungry wolves. The re-
suit of the conference could easily
be expected. AS Leland Stowe, the
correspondent of the Herald Tri-
bune, stated, "The Geneva economic
conference has failed to form bloc
of European powers
AS in London, where the delegates
attempt to cover up the failure by
a three-power treaty, the Geneva
politicians signed a general COM
mercial agreement which, if ratified
by the respective governments, will
only be valid for one single year.
The stumbling block of ratification
may still prove fatal to this fragile
instrument. New meetings of the
European powers to discuss the pro-
longation of the agreement are
scheduled for November and Janu-
airy.
Despite all the discussions, the
inherent contradictions among the
European powers are becoming
sharper every day. Not "organized
capitalism" but revolution is the
solution for the contradictions OF
capitalism.

The conference demanded the I'M
conditional release of the delegation
of five now in Jail, and condemned
the police terror and raid on the
Communist Party headquarters. The
delegates demanded the release OF
all class war prisoners.
A special resolution on the Daily

Formation of workers defense
corps for the defense of white and
Negro workers was unanimously
decided on.
A committee of twenty-five was
elected to carry on the tasks of the

ton on May 1st.
The conference was full of revo-
lutionary spirit and determination.
1t was the workers answer to the
police terror.
Thirteen comrades arrested last
night are still held. The Party has
issued a leaflet stating that the at
tack of the boss police on the Com
munist Party is an attack against
the working class, calling on the
workers to rally around the Party
to prevent the capitalist class from
driving the Party underground.
A mass protest meeting against
police raids will be held. The con-
ference ordered $4,000 copies of the

Over 500 workers assembled at a
mass meeting to protest the failing

the launching of a new union, the
Philadelphia longshoremen turned
up in force and packed the hall.
Forty-one lined up in the Marine
Workers League and threw away
their old buttons.
The meeting was largely attended
by Negro longshoremen. 1t voted
unanimously to send a rank and file
delegation to the national conven-
ton of the Marine Workers League
in New York on April 26 and pro-
posed an immediate program to or
ganize to send real representation
for the port on the $3.50 basis,
Negro and white.
The challenge of the local labor
takers was accepted by all those
present who voiced the cry off one
of US gets fired we all get fired"
'No more paying money into a
fightless dues collecting agency un-
der the bosses control" "What we
want is a new fighting industrial
union" One of the members of the
LILA. read certain clauses of the So
called LILA. agreement exposing the
sellout of the officials by the ac-
ceptance of the unrestricted sling
load and the fake Cancellation pro-
posals of the bosses.
In concluding the meeting the
speaker of the evening, James Nc
Grath, local M.W.L. secretary, point
ed out that any organization that
is not based on the class struggle
is doomed to failure as the condi-
tions of the workers become more
miserable.
Although the LILA. officials claim
a paid up membership of 1900 in
Philadelphia out of from 5000 to
1000 longshoremen the rank and
file question those padded figures.
As in all other ports the conditions
of the longshoremen of Philadelphia
are rotten. Speed up and overload
ing of sings have resulted in num-
erous accidents while the same graft
as in New York is carried on by the
bosses together with the union Of
ficials. A graft side line of the time
keeper of Murphy Cooks who has

ply this trade are known as "pig
merchants" on the Atlantic coast.
