born workers have children who read
onlq English, and they would be glad
to get workers paper that their
children can also read. Many of the
foreign born workers can also read
English. And finally it is important
and the readers and sales agents of
the foreign language press should be
made to realize it, that the central
organ of the Communist Party, the
Daily Worker, should be read by all
workers, native and foreign born, so
that united front can be presented
to the bosses attack on the workers

Donald. The Times reports that this
plank will undoubtedly be an i'm
portant vote catching cry"
AS part Of the hypocritical dema-
gogy Of the Labor Party, Stanley
Hirst president of the Transport and
General Workers Union, stated that
the Labor Party would fight for free
trade against the protectionist policy
of the National government.
The complete hypocrisy Of this
statement is showed by the New York
Times, which stated, as we pointed
out in Mondays Daily Worker, that
the free trade platform of the Labor
Party was in direct opposition to
what all of its leaders and the lead
ers of the Trade Unions have already
said about the necessity for tariffs.
80 the only party with any
strength now bearing the free
trade banner aIoft is the Labor or
ganization. But that Is political
accident. Labor is for free trade
not because it believes In it but
mainly because the Conservatives
are for protection. Trade unions
which now dominate the Labor
Party are very largely won over to
tariff. Arthur Henderson, new
Labor leader, says himself he would
rather balance the budget by means
of a revenue tariff than by unem-
pIoyment insurance cuts"
In order to curb the radical phrase
mongering of the left wingers of the
Labor Party the party conference on
Monday passed a resolution which
states that all members of the Labor
Party in the House of Commons must
follow the party decisions. The left
wingers have protested against this
curbing of their attempts to fool the
masses through radical phrase mon
gering, which is opposed by the Off
cial party leadership because Of the
inner party difficulties it occasions
Maxton, one Of the left wing leaders
protested against this because of his
hard, steady, strenuous and loyal
work in the movement, actually in
deceiving the workers by left phrases

masses. The plan is to curb the re-
sistance of the masses by having
them vote for the government which
will drive through the DEGREES against
their living standards.
The program for this election for
the National government will be
drafted by Macdonald alone. The
New York Times reports this in the
following:
"the Cabinet Ministers decided to
give free hand to Prime Minister
Macdonald in shaping the govern
ment's platform. The Prime Min
lister will therefore draft the cleo
tion manifesto on as broad ma
tional basis as possible, and what,
ever he decides on the tariff ques-
ton will have the support of all
his Ministers"
The Macdonald election platform
will be ION as broad a national basis
rs possible" in order that all of the
eoning wage cutting and dole cut
hing DEGREES and police attacks on
the militant workers will be sane
toned beforehand in the election
platform of the National government.
The capitalist class has recognized
that Macdonald is the leader in the
stack against the workers and has
chosen him to write the election pro-
gram for the National government.
The Labor Party which tried
through Henderson's conversations
with Macdonald several weeks ago to
be included in the National govern
ment has already started its election
propaganda in opposition" to the
National government. Its election
platform will include a declaration
against the cut in the dole by the
National government, a cut to which
the Labor Party agreed when it was
in power. The Times reports that this
plank in the platform is only for the
purpose of catching votes, in other
words in order to fool the workers
into believing that the Labor Party
is carrying on sincere struggle

Bankers Meet With
Hoover On Weak
Banking Structure
tCoNTINUED FB0m PAGE oNEI

Tuesday night with the republican
and democratic leaders Of the house
of representatives and of the SEN
ate. This meeting, the results Of
which are not yet known as the Daily
goes to press, was for the purpose Of
giving the Party leaders the orders
that had been worked out on Sat-
urday by committee of bankers who
went to visit Hoover.
The arrangements for the meeting
on Saturday were made in such
secrecy that it was not held in the
White House, where it would ordi-
narily have been held when the
president was one of the participants,
and it is not yet definitely known
who the four bankers were who at
tended the meeting. However, on
Monday meeting Of four of Wall
Streets leading bankers took place
in the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York. At the meeting at the Fed
eral Reserve Bank were George Whit
ney, partner Of j. P. Morgan & Co.;
Albert H. Wiggin, chairman Of the
governing board of the Chase Ma
tionaI Bank; Charles e. Mitchell,
chairman of the National City Bank,
and William c. Potter, president of
the Guaranty Trust Co.
The Importance Of the meeting can
be seen from the fact that only the
very top leaders Of Wall Street were
present. 1t was thought at first that
the meeting of the bankers on Mon
day was in connection with the sharp
Slump in the stock market, but after
the news of ten Saturday meeting
became known Wall Street realized
that more important decisions had
been arrived at. The purpose of the
meeting was to outline the program
of the United States for the attack
on French Imperialism which will
come up when Laval arrives.
The items on which the Franco
American struggle will be concen-
trated will be the question of the war
debts, the reparations question and
the, question of the gold standard.
The New York World Telegram re-
ports that:
Both French and American dip
lomats admit freely that they do
not understand one another and
that their policies are widely varf-
ant"
The World Telegram adds that La
val is bringing with him the pro-
gram of French imperialism on which
the struggle will be conducted with
United States finance capital.
Premier Laval hopes to lay be-
fore President Hoover late In Oc-
tober balance sheets Of disarna-
ment and reparations which BUSH
ness men can understand. He in
tends to show his figures, pack his
bag and return to France"
The meeting Of Hoover and the
DdIthcIc Woo III oAiO Pun PSoS ~ ~
ganizing the United States counter
offensive against the French propo-
sails. The visit Of Laval and the
preparatory meeting Of the leading
bankers means that the antagon-
isrns among the three leading i'm
perialists have been sharpened
acutely since the suspension OF the
British pound. They are preparing
for armed conflict as the next step
in the economic struggle which is
now in the stage of an open finan-
cial war.
All the imperialists, however, have
a common hatred of the Soviet
Union and hope to make an attack
on the soviets as one Of the means
which will postpone the outbreak OF
their own inter-imperialist conflict
and simultaneously smash the Soviet
