THE MINIMUM
PROGRAM

"We are now living in a time
of the greatest migration of peo-
pies. The goal of this great mi
grafton of peoples is a land ahead
of us, known as the Soviet Union
West European capitalism
is doomed to death and is trying
to drag into the grave with ii all
that is alive. One who does not
believe that Western Europe is
doomed should go to the Soviet
Union for a week and observe
Western Europe from there. Then
he will believe.
"Only the proletarian masses
can put an end to the deeds of
capitalism. The European work
ers are no fools to trim the tigers
claws and set him free again.
When they will capture the tiger,
that is capitalism, they will kill
hiEs."
HERE you nave the ethical, the
IL material that was used in the
building of the common platform
for anti-war action. 1t is such a
minimum- program that the Com
munists have accepted and signed,
despite the fact that in their party
declarations they spoke the clear
matter-of- fact language of the
class struggle rather than the poetic
and figurative language of the in
tellectuals, the language that was
in large measure also used in the
Manifesto.

Position of the Communists
at the World Anti>War Meet

IaCClOn IN CQe eQG1uSlaSul, Cne en-
hancement of spirit that the Con-
gress brought into being. But the
Communists are practical people
and they did not stop hammering
upon the idea that a demonstra-
ton alone was not sufficient, that
the momentary success of the Con-
gresS was not an assurance of eff
fective anti-war action; that the
united front of the wide masses was
yet to be built, and that the Mani
feSto was merely signal and
basis for a united front against
war and for the defense of the
Soviet Union.
The role of the Second Inter
national and of the Amsterdam
yellow International as agencies
of the bourgeoisie to sabotage anti
war action and to prepare the
masses ideologically for a war
against the Soviet Union was nat
urally, brought out quite wildly.
Katayama, Cachin and Muenzen-
berg hammered on this point, and
the speeches of the social demo-
cratic delegates (Nicole of the Swiss
section of the Second International
and a woman delegate of the Aus
trian section) confirmed the dam
aging indictment against the social
fascist leaders and called upon the
social democratic workers to join
with the Communists in united
front against war on the basis of
Cachin's program speech.
In the solemn oath with which
the Manifesto concludes, the ques-
ton of unity in the struggle
against war is put to the froe:
NUREMBERG CALL
TO ACTION
In mastery, speech, full OF fire
and pension, Will Muenzenberg

Congress and the tasks of the
Communists in the anti-war cam
paign. Muenzenberg's speech was
the highlight of the Congress. He
SPOKE in German but his oratory
reached beyond the limits of Ian
guage. and the French or English
speaking delegates who did not
understand word of his speech,
sat spell-bound and at the conclu-
sion Of the speech applauded with
just as much fervor as these who
understood the meaning of Willis
electric words.

less capitalism was impossible.
They have learned something from
the postwar years, from the "war
to end war" from the Versailles
treaty, the disarmament" confer
ences and the events in the Far
East. They could not but agree
with Barbusse who declared that
the Amsterdam Congress gathered
upon the ruins of the imperialist
disarmament" conference and
peace" treaties. Their ethical, or
as Gorky put it in his message of
greetings to the Congress, their
biological revulsion against war
forced them to look reality straight
in the eye and to arrive at the
unpleasant conclusion that the
capitalist system is a breeder of
wars, and that in order to end war
an end must be put to the capital
ist system.

SIGNIFICANCE OF
CONGRESS

1t is perhaps too early to char
acterize the Amsterdam Congress
as worldwide action against war.
So far it has been only mobiliza-
ton of the leading elements among
the toiling masses and the intel
lectuals. 1t has been only DEM
onstration on behalf of anti-war
action and decentralization on a
world scale. But the tremendous
effect Of this demonstration must
not be underestimate. 1t must BIZ
remembered that the 1900 del
egates represented about 10000 OF
CARNATIONS embracing 100000
individuals of 40 different cou.
tries. OF its kind, the Amsterda~
Congress has been the greatest j.
history. Still it is only a begin
ning-a demonstration and sig
nal for action. The Communists
are not deceived about it. For the
intellectuals the demonstration it
self was kind of moral gratifica-
ton. They found a certain salts

BOARD AUTHORIZES
INDIVIDUAL LOANS.
Unlimited Funds Placed al
Disposal of Agriculture,
Trade and Industry.

Acting under an amendment to the
Federal Reserve law signed on July 81,
the board has authorized Federal Re-
serve Banks to make direct loans to
individuals, partnerships and corpor-
ations fer an emergency period of six
months beginning today. The loans
may be made upon paper eligible for
rediscount by the Federal Reserve Banks
and must be used to finance current
business operations.
While the amount thus placed at the
disposal of industry, trade and agri-
culture is unlimited, the board made no
estimate of how much it will be.
The amendment to the Federal Re-
serve law requires that before making
such a loan the Federal Reserve Bank
shall obtain evidence that the individ-
ual partnership or corporation was un-
able to secure adequate credit accomo-
Gations from other banking institutions
The emergency move will permit in
GividualS to borrow upon agricultural
paper of not more than nine months
maturity and trade and industrial pa
per of three months. Borrowing upon
speculative paper IS barred. CONNER
cial banks are not included in the
corporations which can borrow.
The board provided that the loans
must be made at interest rates pre-
scribed by Federal Reserve Banks and
approved by the board, and that each
application for a loan must be made
to the Federal Reserve Bank of that
district and contain a statement of
circumstances giving rise to the ap-
plication.
The banks are required to see that
the financial standing of the applicant
juStifieS the loan, that the security Of
fered is acceptable from credit stand
point and eligible legally, that there is
a reasonable need for the credit and
that the security is adequate to pro-
tect the Federal Reserve Bank from
loss.

tic. and that much of the unrest in

At any rate this suggestion is in line
with the fact that economic security

If these suggestions seem not to help
your case, it might be well to talk it
over with some trusty frienoS. In doing
so you will probably find that yours is
by no means an isolated case. At least
you will establish social bond, the
lack of which is responsible for most OF
the ills that mind is heir to.

about them and almost hug

the love vine by romantic folks, but the
farmer calls it the devils thread, and
II denends entirely upon your point OF
view as to which name is the most ap-
propriate. l..
the Snring like any other self-reSpecting
Mani She sends a tender little shoot
ont in the early Spring to look around.
THE long orange stem is without leaves
and is easily bent by the wind. The
minute the long arm touches plant 1t
begins to entwine it about the host.
From that time on the guest makes her
self at home and sewers her connection
with her root. She send out little pro-
iections very much like the prolegs of
caternillar but with a very different
n,,rnosc. These little legs of the dodder
Are suckers, and they enter the stem
until they reach the sap channels, then
the dodder draws her sustenance from
her hostess.
Who has not gone into the fields and
stood looking at the great patch of dull
yellow meshwork spread over many
growing vines and plants? The dodder
can turn any sap to its own use. 1t
winds its tendrils about its victim as a
serpent coils itself about the prey it is
going to consume One is reminded Of
the octopus in studying the clever way
the arms of the dodder are wound about
her victim.
The dodder manufactures no chloro-
phvll and therefore has no leaves. She
makes up for this deficiency by produc-
ing the very pretty clusters of white, |
bell-shaped flowers. They are to be
found along the stem of her hostess
among the leaves Of her victim. And |
not having done enough harm to all
who came within her reach. she has a !
large number of seeds which are scat
tered about. and the following Spring |
will be following in the footsteps of
their mother.
When the dodder finds herself in a
bed of clover. which she often does, her |
seeds become mixed with those of the |,
clover, and the next Spring the farmer |
sows both together. The clever farmer
