Doctors Doubt Early
Awakening of Beauty
Illinois Girl, SIumbering
Since Feb. "a, Still
Battles Physicians.
BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
United Press stan Correspondent

OAK PARK, H., Nov. Like
the enchanted princess of the fairy
story book, Patricia Mcguire slept
today, fair-haired and pink Of
cheek, just as she has slumbered
since she first fell into her battling
coma last Feb. "a.
Physicians, who thought two
weeks ago that she was about to
wake, watched her regular breath
ing, and decided their opinion was
premature. They hesitated to pre-
dict when she would awaken.
As Rip Van Wrinkle dozen on the
bowling green, so has Patricia
slumbered through events important
enough to make her own little world
anew.
She was a pert, blonde stenog-
rapher when she first became sleepy
last January, and began to relapse
into her torpor.
The dresses in her closet all have
tight sleeves and normal waist lines.
Her hats are the kind she wore far
back or her head.
When she wakeS-and her mother
is certain she will-she must buy
an entirely new wardrobe with puff
sleeves and long skirts and funny
little Victorian hats.
She will learn that she slept
through the worst year of the de-
preston, that Franklin D. Roose-
velt was elected President while
her eyes were closed, that she must
change nearly all her ideas of con-
temporary affairs.
She knows nothing of the Lind
bergh baby kidnapping, the Massie
trial in Honolulu, the Libby Holman
case, the assassination of the French
president, or the hurricane disaster
in Cuba.
Her mother will have to tell he1
about the new baby next door ano

will see its way to enter into an ex-
change of views at the earliest pos
sible moment.
"The immediate objective of the
present note, however, is of more
limited nature. On Dec. Is, the
next installment of the British war
debt is due to be paid. 1t is not
possible to hope that agreement can
be achieved in five weeks of mat
tiers Of such vast scope.
Confronted last summer with a
similar difficulty the conference of
Lausanne found it necessary, in
order to allow its work to proceed
undisturbed, to reserve, during the
period of the conference, the exc
cution of the payments due to the
participating powers.
French Note Similar
His majesty's government in the
United Kingdom hope that SINH
lar procedure may be followed now,
and ask for a suspension of the
payments due from them for the
period of the discussions now sug-
gested, or for any other period that
may be agreed upon"
High spots in the french note
were:
"Basing its action upon the prin-
cipleS which were expressed in the
joint communique issued on Oct.
25, 1881, by President Hoover and
M, Laval at the conclusion of their
discussions, and which were the
logical development of the proposal
made by the President of the
United States in June, 1881, the
French government, certain of be-
ing in close accord with the ideas
Of the American government, volun-
tarily agreed to very heavy sacri-
fees at Lausanne, hoping thereby
to appeaSe the resentment existing
among nations, and at the same
time to make contribution toward
economic recovery and toward the
consolidation of peace.
1T is in this very same spirit that
the French government today pro-
poses to the government of the
United States to join with it in a
further study of the debt question.
Inasmuch as such a study will, by
virtue of circumstances require too
much time for a speedy conclusion
to appear probable, the French gov
eminent asks that, in accordance
with the process followed at Lau-
same, an extension of the suspen-
sion of payments may be granted to
the French government in order
that the study of the present serious
problems now under discussion may
be continued and completed in the
necessary atmosphere of mutual
trust.

Warning to beware of flood of
counterfeit SIS bills being circulated
through this section of the coun-

Macy, secret service operative.
Macy said the bills practically
are identical with those issued by

an eastern Jail several months ago,
and who boosted he had about
10000 of the bogus bills hidden.
The bills, which are fairly crude,
are off-color and have a iitho-

The Communist Party calls upon
the millions of workers and farm
ers, Negro and white, and particu-
larly those rank and file workers
who are now misled by the leaders
of the Socialist Party and the A. F.
of L., to rally to the fight for these
demands. The mass fight for these
demands can alone develop effec-
tive resistance to the starvation
and war program of the capitalists.
The fight for these demands, as
proposed by the Communist Party,
means even more. 1t is the start
ing point for the final victory of
the toilers, for the establishment

Such a REVOLUTIONARY
GOVERNMENT alone can free the
masses from misery and slavery,
by taking over and operating the
big industries, trusts, railroads and
banks. Only such a government can
open up every idle factory, mill and
mine, and put the workers on their
jobs again producing the goods
which are needed for a hungry,
starving population. Such a gov

seize and distribute to the hungry

for one moment their war prepara-

to crush the Soviet Union.
There is no way out of the crisis
for the workers except the way of
militant class struggle. There is no
way out except the way of the most
stubborn fight against starvation
and for the workers immediate de-
mands. There is no way out except
the way of struggle against bank
rupt capitalism and for workers
and farmers government which
alone can feed the people. Those
who say otherwise lie!
In order to carry out this strug-

can open up the millions of houses,
now held empty by greedy private
landlords, and provide comfortable
housing for the millions living in
cellars, sewers, the disgraceful pub
lie lodging-houses and the terrible
Hoover cities" of the homeless un-
employed. 1t can Immediately feed,
clothe and house all the workers
and put them busily at work repro
ducing all things necessary.
There is plenty and to spare
for all. 1t is held away from the
toilers by the capitalists as their
private property and for their
private profit. Only a revolution
ary Workers and Farmers Gov
ernment can break through this
paralysis of the capitalist crisis
and start economic activity going
full speed for the benefit of the
masses of workers and farmers.
This is proven by the experiences
of the Soviet Union. There the
workers seized power in the revo-
luton of 1917. With the govern
ment in their hands the last REM
nants of capitalism are being up
rooted, socialism is being built. The
first Five Year Plan is now being
successfully completed; unemploy-
ment has been completely eliminat-
ed; wages are being steadily in
creased; the material and cultural
level of the masses is being raised;
no crisis such as in capitalist coun-
tries has affected their programs;
the second Five Year Plan is about
to begin. The Soviet Union stands
out as proof that the workers can
rule, not only in their own interest,
but in the interest of all those who
are oppressed by capitalism
The daily worker., 1932-04-28

Against these attacks of the en-
ployers, against these efforts of
the capitalists to enrich themselves
at the expense of the toilers, the
workers and farmers must fight.
They must rally all their forces for
the most uncompromising class
struggle against every effort of the
capitalists to terrorize them into
accepting worsened conditions, or
to force them into another i'm
perialist slaughter.
The capitalists will never volun-
tarily yield an inch to the workers.
They will continue ever more ruth
lessly to maintain and increase
their own profits and wealth by
forcing the workers and farmers
into greater misery. They will new

ellis and strong organization of poor
farmers. Under the leadership of
the Communist Party, the workers
organized in such class organiza-
tions can defend their interests to-
day, while fighting for the revolu-
tionary way out of the crisis, for
the overthrow of capitalism.
The most relentless struggle, now
and throughout the election cam

Party-alone offers to the workers

industry, more firm control of the
industries and railroads by the
Wall Street banks, and for still
greater profits by the biggest and
most powerful capitalists.
1 The capitalists way out of the
crisis,-secOndly, - embodies
further direct and brutal a..ack
on the living standards of the
tOilers.
? Workers wages are being even
more drastically slashed. The
speed-up in the factories and mines
is daily increased. More factories
are shut down; more workers are
thrown into the streets to join the
ranks of the unemployed. The mis-
cradle charity rations are being
further reduced and the burdens Of
the charity system are placed on
the already breaking backs of the
toilers. In this way the capitalists
try to escape from the crisis-to
maintain their bloated profits,
while the workers are forced nearer
and nearer to the starvation level
and even below.
When the workers, by strikes and
demonstrations, fight to maintain
their living standards and to resist
these attacks of the bosses, they
meet the sharpest terror. Their po-
itical rights guaranteed by the con-
stitution are denied them. Meet
ings, demonstrations and picket
lines are ruthlessly smashed. Work
ers are dubbed and gassed by the
police on the instruction of the cap
italists and their political hirelings.
The Negro masses are Jim Crowed
and lynched.i Workers are shot
down and killed. This terror is not
the monopoly of one capitalist, one
politician or one party. The Repub-
lican, Hoover, orders the gassing
and brutal clubbing of the workers
in Washington. The liberal Re-
publican, Pinchot, orders the club
bing and murder of the Pennsyl-
vania coal strikers. The Democratic
Mayor Cermak orders the beating,
gassing and killing Of Negro work
ers on Chicago's South Side. Ford
and his progressive" henchman,
Murphy, order the murder of four
workers at Dearborn. The Socialist
Mayor Hoan, backed by the pro-
pressive Republican, La Toilette,
order the same attacks on the Mil
waukee workers. All the capitalists
and all their parties are determined
to force through the lowering of
the workers living standard and
the maintenance of their own prof
its by an unprecedented and grow
ing terror.
