ences which J. p. Morgan had with
Laval and with leading French bank
ers before Laval sailed for the United
States. In these conferences the
terms were agreed on for the joint
struggle of the United States and
French imperialists for the redivision
of the world and against the Soviet
Union.
The agreement of the two inlperi-
alists established the political hege-
mony of France in Europe in the
joint struggle against British finance
capital. The report of the New York
Times concerning the results OF the
conference points directly to war in
agreeing to French hegemony In Eu-
rope.
THE United States keeps aloof
from the political side of European
settlements, except where pros
pect might exist that political prob
lens would lead to war. 1t was
agreed that the adjustment Of
these political problems was large
ly the responsibility Of France as
the strongest nation in Europe to-
day. and leadership must rest with
that country"
Both imperialists have decided that
the struggle against British finance
capital can be most effectively car
ried on if the gold standard is MAIN
tanned. With the continuation of the
gold standard the power of France
and the United States on the field Of
international finance will be ire
mendously strengthened as compared
with Great Britain which has been
forced off Of the gold standard. This
agreement has already brought forth
an attack by the British imperialists
who have been fighting for world
monetary conference in order that
the British imperialists should in
some manner be relieved Of the dis
advantage resulting from the suspen-
sion of the gold standard.
The United States bankers have
agreed that the German reparations

plan. The French imperialists in

Great Toll of Bank Failures
Weaken Financial Stability

-Four banks failed Thursday in
Ohio, including one each in the cities
OF Canton, Massillon, Alliance, and
Monroeville. In Evansville, Indiana,
and Philippi, West Virginia, two
banks failed. These are only the
bank failures for the day that the
capitalist press reports. In addition
to these there are many more that
are never reported in the capitalist
press.
These bank failures are continuing
at a tremendous rate despite the
credit pool that was organized &C
cording to the Hoover program. In
the month of September, 2s8 banks
failed with deposits Of $27l ,299, 900.
In the first nine months OF 1881
there were 1,245 bank failures with
deposits of 1929 900, 900, as compared
with 1,345 failures In the whole year
OF 1880, with deposits OF 1856 900, 900.
In 1929 there were 642 failures, az
fecting $234,oo0,o 900 deposits. In the
two years and nine months from 1929
thru September, 1881, the number of
bank failures totaled 3,232, with de-
posts Of s2,o2s, 100000.
In the early part Of the crisis the
failures occurred primarily in the
banks in the agrarian sections. AS
the crisis has deepened the bank
failures have spread to the largest
cities. The growth OF the bank fail
ures in the biggest cities. is the most
direct evidence Of the weakening OF
the entire banking structure in the
United States and OF the develop
ment OF the financial crisis.
The Hoover credit pool was an at
tempt on the part Of the bankers
to stave off the weakening OF the
financial structure thru initiation In
practice 1t means that the big banks
viii try to rob the weaker banks OF
their sound assets. The weaker banks
will be left with the frozen assets
and failures will increase rapidly.
So severe Is the financial crisis
that the state governments are pre-
pairing to change the banking and
Insurance laws so that the banks and
the insurance companies will be per-
mitted to hold securities which have
deprecated rapidly In value during
the past several years. The unsound
condition of the banks and the lie
insurance companies is going to be
lcgalized in order to try to prevent
the further shattering Of the finan-
cial structure.
The financial crisis, however, has
sharpened greatly as the direct re-
suit OF the extreme depths to which
the economic crisis has sunk. The
Iegalizing OF the rotten financial sit
uation Of the banks will not prevent
their crashing. will not prevent the
further weakening of the entire
banking system thruout the United
states.

adds that this Is of Significance" in
connection with the preparations for
the attack on the Chinese Eastern
Railway, which means the attack on
the Soviet Union. The Universal
Service reports this In the following:
Japanese regiments stationed at
Changchun, northern terminus Of
the Japanese occupation zone in
South Manchurian, this morning,
suddenly were ordered moved to an
unknown destination.
"The maneuver Is regarded OF
Significance In view of advices from
Marking stating that Russia has
given first official intimation Of the
anxiety with which she Is watching
the Manchurian situation"
The capitalist press points out quite
openly that the shipping Of additional
Japanese troops into Manchuria
means d definite step in the military
attack on the Soviet Union Brigadier
General Henry J. Reilly of the Off
GERS Reserve Corps, writing for the
New York American points out this
out in the following:
Military experience In recent
times, as well rs throughout the
ages, has shown that y situation
such rs exists in Manchuria al
ways proceeds from bad to worse"
He then adds that the steady in
crease In the number Of Japanese
troops, can lead to Russia becoming
involved"
The further advance OF the jap
anese into Manchuria has been with
the direct cooperation of the United
States and with the approval Of the
French imperialsts. These three i'm
perialists are determined TO force the
redivision Of China, as part Of the
general rediyision of the colonies and
to grab part Of the colonial empire
Of Great Britain.
The agreement between the Uni
ted States and Japan for the division
Of the spoils In China has ended the
previous Japan-British alliance. "Au-
gur," a New York Times corresondent
from London reports that this ALI
ance between Japan and Great Brit
ain was given up in favor of a
wider and more fruitful interna-
tional cooperation"
The determination Of France and
the United States to reduce Great
Britain to secondary power was seen
in the League of Nations. BRAND
while mongering hypocritical phrases
about the Kellogg pact did absolutely
nothing in order to bring the pressure
Of French Imperialism against the

We print the following letter which
is one Of the many which we receive
which shows how well the Daily
Worker is appreciated throughout
America:
"I'm employed and cannot renew
my daily as l am broke and have a
family. But I will try to get readers
and subscribers for the Daily and l
feel as though I could never be with
out it and would be at loss with
out it. It's the best organizer for the
working class"
The best way he can help the Daily
is to start a club.
This conrade, B. c., however, asks
for some information which We can't
send him, as he does not include his
address with the letter, other than
mentioning in the body OF his letter
the town of Waukegan. This COM
rade should send us his address and
we will answer his requests right

Daily Worker every day. 1t is
pape, which I always like to read. l
wonder what the Daily Worker will
cost from New York to Denmark, as
I must have it even here"
A comrade who is member Of
the National Miners Union writes
from BIuefieId, West Virginia,
that he likes the Daily Worker so
well he wants to get up club and
get other workers to subscribe to
ID. We want to get club in every
town of the United states and
want TO get more such letters.

DIFFICULT ROLES WELL TAKEN.

Tt is more than useless to comment
on the individual members of the cast
of the Junior College TESTERS "a
Lucky Break" as given at the Wash
ington Auditorium on Friday evening,
as each and every member of the cast
performed most admirably.
The play is farce comedy in three
acts by Zelda Sears and produced by
arrangements of Longmans, Green &
Co., of New York who own the fee.
The play was directed by Miss Mama
Lynn Forbes of the High School fac
ulty and to her able coaching is at
tributed in large measure the sue
cess of the performance. Miss Tessie
Lampi was the business manager and
Miss Margaret Mitchell acted as stage
manager and property custodian.

The audience evidenced their pleasure
in the production by the unstinted ap-
plause which followed each situation
Each and all of the cast played their
parts in an efficient manner. In spots,
The cast in the order of their ap-
pearance on the stage was made up of
the Misses Eda Rae Jones, Winifred

excellent manner in which the difficult
play was produced.
Last, but not least, was the High
School orchestra which furnished the
music for the opening, closing and be-
tween acts. This part of the program
was no small part of the success of the
performance.

lar violin soloist of the organization,
was absent owing to the death of her
father and Mrs. Marie Heroes Koh-

Madame Ada lombard presided at the
piano in her usual accomplished
manner. Ralph Boreln played the sec
ond violin; Prof. Alphin Flaaten the
cello and Prof. lombard was the flut-

bers. Miss Elizabeth Terry of Superior
