Socialists, takers, selfish sectional in
terests, predatory finance and the like.
The warmest welcome to the Plan has
come from Liberal economists and the
Labor tntelligentsia. The former have
long been prominent in urging the ne
view any form Of national planning as q
powerful impetus accelerating the proc
e6e Of the transfer Of industry from a
private to public basis, until the So
eialist commonwealth Is reached.
The views Of the intelligentsia Labor
socialist may be represented by the
comment of Harold j. Laski. professor
OF political science at London Univer-
sity and one of the intellectual props
and most active publicists of the Labor
Socialist group:
"A national plan is the only way in
which the present social order can hope
to Justify itself. Either we must plan
our civilization or we shall perish"
The snag he perceives in the big Plan,
however. is that in their anxiety to
conform to enlightened conservatism

ctally useful purposes, satisfy all mod
crate Socialist ambitions by providing
for increasing public control and liberal
ideals Of national reconstruction" the
planners evade the vital question of
party; and plans are of little use with
out parties.
Points to Problem.
As soon as you begin to discuss
parties, observes Prof. Laski sagely. you
will md that your root problem is the
Ques lon Of property rights, and to deal
with those you will have to adopt the
philosophy Of socialism in some such
form as preach it,
1t must be said that In its general ap-
proach toward business the Plan bears
the impress of the theorist mind which
sees little reason why men should not
be handled In q national geographical
area rs minerals are handled in labo-
rAtory. It leaves private individuals free
to lose all the money they like in expert
mental enterprises, with the assurance
that success will entail rapid ANAL
samation." subordination ito other in
tereStS concerned" and limitations of
profits" This policy Is calculated to
freeze up the headwaters Of progress
and nip new industries in the bud.
Further. the Plan speaks of raw ma
terials of a type capable Of being con-
tracted for in bulk some years in ad-
vance" 1t would puzzle business man
to name 3 single raw material in this
category. The Plan also envisages as an
essential feature long period contracts
with overseas primary producers to buy

Soviet Pact

The Japanese inlperialists have al
ready followed up the rumors about
the mobilization of Soviet troops on
the ManchuI an frontier and the
Shipment of munitions into Manchu-
ria with note of warning TO the
Soviet Union. Baron Shidehara. the
japanese foreign minister. in a note
to Moscow on Wednesday requested
that Russian troop demonstrations on
the Observation-Disclosures border be
discontinued. He declared the mill
tary operations might be misrepre-
scented, since they were causing an
unpleasant effect on japanese as
well as Chinese soldiers" The war
threat in this note can be seen from
the fact that, according to reports
from Moscow, no additional Soviet
troops have been sent to this front.
The South Manchurian Railwayis
sending an engineering force to re-
pair the Nonno River Bridge, which
was blown up by the japanese them
selves last week. This engineering
force is being accompanied by "a
small detachment of troops to serve
as guard" The Nonni River Bridge

almost directly at the juncture of
this railway with the Chinese East

jointly by the Soviet Union and the

BULLETIN
Gable by Inprecorr)

LONDON, Oct ES.-The Communist
Party received total Of 1884 votes
In twenty-six constituencies as COM
pared to approximately $4,000 votes In
twenty five constituencies at the last
election. In most Of the constituent
cies where the Communist Party ran
candidates at this and the last cleo
ton they succeeded In increasing the
poll. The best Communist result was
Bob Stewart In Dundee with 1o,245
votes as compared to $3.50 at the last
election. Stewart was released from
jail only last Saturday.
The Independent Labor Party also
lost most of its seats in Parliament,
only Maxton, Buchanan, Kirkwood
and Stepen being elected.
On the basis of SGT seats out OF n
total Of 6l5 being contested the Ma
tional Government has won. sweep
ing victory over the Labor Party. The
latest election returns shw the seats
in the new Parliament as follows:
Conservatives ............... 1853
National Labor ............. 13
National Liberal ............ IS
Lloyd George Liberals $3.50. 4
Opposition Labor ........... 40
Independents ............... 3
These parliamentary results do not,
however, give correct picture Of the
voting in the election. The total vote
as the Daily Worker goes to press
was as follows:
Conservatives i,528,0l2
Labor Opposition ...... 6,6l1,6i7
National Labor ....... 344,282
Liberals ............... 2,040,734
Others ................ 292, AIS
Despite the terrific defeat in Par
lament for the Labor Party they
polled about thirty per cent of the
vote.
The National government will use
this election vote as a mandate for
carrying thru hunger program and
the driving thru of the further fas-
cistization of the British government.
This will mean the intensified at
tack on the working masses and on
the Communist Party of Great Brit
ain, the leader Of the workers in the
revolutionary struggle The British
capitalists will also feel in better
position to take up the fight against
their imperialist rivals for the con-
troll of markets and colonies.
The National government already
has prepared the increases in the
tariff which is aimed at its imperial
ist rivals. 1t will also mean a vicious
attack on the living standards OF the
British working class thru the rails
ing of the price Of all the goods the
worker buys out Of his miserable
wages Of dole.
The increase in the tariff sharpens
the danger Of war as 1t intensifies
the imperialist conflict with the Uni
ted States and France particularly
which are among the most important
exporters Of goods to Great Britain.
The United States manufacturers are
already seeing the significance Of the
tariff increases.
