IMPERIALIST STRUGGLE OF US.
AND FRANCE SHARPENS ACUTELY
Hoover Plans Attack on French interests;
Laval Almost Calls off Visit Here

ment as it was finally issued con-
tanned only $500 words. The New
York Times reports that most of the
deleted portion was said to relate to
the presidents comment with refer
ence to the coming visit of Premier
Laval"
The original statement was Hoover's
proposal that the moratorium on in
ter-country debts which expires July
I, 1882, be extended by a number OF
years. The purpose Of this proposal
is to save the United States invest
ments in Germany at the expense of
French imperialism. The Wall Street
Journal writes that at the conferen-
ces Of the bankers with Hoover,
at was pointed out that an ex-
tension Of the moratorium would
ease the German situation and
make it possible for the banks to
get their credit out of that coun-
try IL necessary. The Administra-
ton pointed to the difficulties in
connection with this STEP"
The difficulties in connection with
this step" Of taking out United States
investments from Germany by
frightening the period of time in
which Germany does not have to pay
reparations are with Premier Laval,
the representative of French finance
capital. The Journal Of Commerce
points out that,
'The French are determined not
to be jockeyed into position of
disadvantage and any untoward
move by the Administration might
bring about cancellation of the
proposed visit Of Premier Laval"
The rank of one of the leading
French banks came out Immediately
with the statement that,
"Prolongation Of the Hoover NOR
atorium would involve loss for
France of two and a half billion
francs yearly. I don't know where
this sum can be found"
The French budget is already faced
with a deficit of $24O,OOO,OoO and
upward" as the result of the rapid
worsening Of the economic crisis in
France. To this would be added the
additional loss of two billion francs
or $80,oO0,oo0.
Hoover tried to have the stage all
set for Layaps visit, but as soon as
Laval heard by telephone of the
Hoover proposal he was ready to call
off his trip, This is very clear
picture of the extreme sharpness OF

the treasury, stated that the governs
ment would help to raise the $780,
100000 if the banks could not do so.
In other words, the strongest banks
cannot raise the fund which they
say is necessary to prevent the
weaker ones from going bankrupt.
And, while they cannot raise the
$5O0000,00O they have to admit that
not $500, 10000 is necessary, but at
least twice that amount. This was
stated on Wednesday by Represen-
tative Bacharach Of New Jersey, one
of the leaders in the important Ways
and Means Committee in the House
Of Representatives The New York
Times is also forced to report this:
part of tOday's reaction was
that a very much larger capital
subscription than $500, 900 would
be necessary to carry out the puF-
poses for which the bankers of the
nation are to organize a national
credit corporation"
The financial situation is so serious
that even the remedies that Hoover
has proposed cannot be effected by
the bankers because of the rapid
worsening of the economic situation.
Hoover appealed to the capitalist
politicians for national unity" He
has tried to effect this capitalist
unity" through financial DEGREES.
Notwithstanding all of the DEGREES
the capitalist system is plunging
deeper and deeper into the chaos of
the crisis The capitalist class is
preparing to follow up these fascist
financial DEGREES by DEGREES intended
to crush the working class to accept
even worse hunger standards than
at present.

This campaign of exposure must
not substitute for other phases of
the struggle for unemployment re-

on the contrary stimulate and
strengthen them. To this end there
fore the note of struggle and the
local struggle emphasis must be kept
to the front in the entire investiga-
lion. The Investigations must not
only bring out what conditions are,
but how to organize to fight against
them. The material thus gathered
shall be utilized in local demonstra-
tons, in fight for relief of individual
and concrete cases and for arousing
and organizing the workers gener-
ally.
Keep Records
Stenographic records shall be kept
of the hearings. These shall be typed
and copies sent to the Daily Worker,
Labor Unity, the T.UU.L. and made
available for the Unemployed Coun-
ellis. Representatives of the capital
ist press should be invited to attend
the hearings. The larger Districts
could publish these reports in pam
phlet form to be distributed widely.
Besides these hearings the Unem-
nleyed Councils and the T.U.U.L. will

of workers (after they have made
their statements) should be carefully

Hoover Immediately changed the
statement to more or less insignific-

Tacoma Cops Beat
Up 9 Year Old
Workers Child

TACOMA, Wash.--A nine-year-ol
child of a worker was brutally beaten
and terrorized last Sunday morning
by three policemen, who accused the
child of breaking into shop window
and stealing few articles.
The cops played with the child
like a cat with mouse, releasing
him several times, only to run him
down and resume their brutal at
tacks on him.
According to the child, he was
homeless and had no place to go or
anyone to take care of him.

-CHILBLAIN
By DR.. WILLIAM J. SCHOLES

Chilblain means a condition of red
ness, burning and itching of the toes,
feet, fingers, nose or ears caused by
exposure to cold and dampness. The
feet and toes are most frequently
affected. The condition varies from
a small red spot in mild cases to bis
tering and liberation in the more serve
cases.
The general health of those who
are subject to chilblain is frequently
below normal. The extremities are
more readily susceptible to the ill
effects of cold when the circulation
is diminished in activity or the quality
of the blood itself is impaired as a
result of i'll health.
EXERCISE AND DAILY BATHS
Before the cold weather begins, and
between the attacks of chilblain, pre-
%ventive measures should be carried out.
Efforts should be made to improve the
general health and make the c%ircula-
ton more active by regular outdoor
exercise and daily cool sponge-baths
followed by friction with a coarse
towel.
The feet should be bathed daily in
fairly hot water and then quickly
rubbed dry. Warm, wooden stockings
should be loose and thick. Care should
be exercised to avoid congestion of
the feet either by any interference
with the circulation-as by wearing
tight garters-or, by getting too near
stoves or radiators.
BATHING FEET HELPS
Remedies which seem to benefit
some cases fail in others. Some mild
cases get relief by bathing the feet
once or twice a day in cold salt water
Others apply a thin coat Of iodine, o,
ichthyol ointment, opodeldoc (camp-
horated soap liniment), or oil of tur-
