GENEVA, Nov. 2S. - The
discussions on the war debts
ind the Manchurian situation.
in which is involved the strug-
gle between u. S. and Japa-
nese imperialism for supre-
macy in the Pacific, show a
frantic increase in pacifist
demagogy. These sham peace"
moves are occurring on the back
ground Of several undeclared wars
(South America, China, etc., in
creasing bloody imperialist attacks
on the starving unemployed workers
and destitute world war veterans,
fiercely raging trade wars and the
bitter sharpening of the struggle over
the war debts.
These moves are aimed at con-
cealing from the EoiIing masses
the destructive character of capi-.
talism and the real significance of
these events as a prelude to a new
world slaughter for re-division
Of the world among the imperialist
bandits and for the attempted wip-
ing out of the achievements of So
cialist construction in the U. S, S.
r. and for more starvation at
home.
French Make Maneuver.
Significant of this attempt is the
present willingness of the French
imperialists to sign the non-aggres-
sion pact offered over a year ago by
the Soviet government in it's vigor-
GUS struggle for peace. The French
government has announced it's inten-
ton of signing the pact tomorrow
(Tuesday). 1t is reported the text
OF the agreement has been approved
by Premier Herriot and the Council
of Ministers. The hypocritical at
titude of the "left" government to-
wards the pact is clearly expressed
in the comment of the French semi
official newspaper lie Temps" that
'iof course all depends upon the way
in which such compact is executed
and its accompanying attempt to

capitalists, not at the expense
of the workers wages either
through Teagle Plan, Share work

any other way. These are demands
that concern the whole working.
class, employed and unemployed.
1t is now the duty of the working
and unemployed masses of every city
to begin preparations for gigantic
demonstrations in support OF the
demands of the National Munger
March.
These demands will be presented
to Congress on Dec. 6, and on that
day there should be a nationwide
demonstration for the same demands.
Welcome the marchers to your
city with a mass demonstration, and
hold another on Dec. 6 to show you
want the jobless to get winter relief
and insurance!
The delegations from each local
ity will report back to the workers
who sent them the results Of their
march or Washington. These re-
ports should be made also to large
mass meetings arranged for that ,pur-
pose. These mass meetings should
be announced at the Dec. demon
strations, and should be made the
rallying centers of a great campaign
to organize the rest Of the jobless,
and to form united front commit
tees OF action in every neighborhood
and on every bread line, to continue
the struggle for relief locally and
continue the pressure for federal re-
lief and insurance.
Demand Right TO Enter
washington authorities and the
businessmen's organizations are lay
ing a basis for an attempt to deny
the marchers the right to enter Wash
ington, though even the capitalist
constitution of the Unitcd States pro-
vides citizens have right to "as-
semble and petition the government
for redress of grievances" (Amend-
ment I Of the U. S. Constitution).

A. F. OF |. AGAIN
ADOPTS JIM CROW
Deny Representation
to Women

CINCINNATI, Nov. 28.--The issue
of unemployment insurance is tenn
porarily in abeyance before the
American Federation OF Labor Con-
vention here while the resolution
committee mullS over it with Vice
President Matthew Vol of the Photo
Engrayers' Union and acting chair
man the National Civic Fedora
ton, leading the opposition to any
form of compulsory joblesS insurance.
Against Negroes and Women.
But lack of opportunity for eX-
pressing themselves in debate on this
question has not prevented the dele
gates from showing blackly reac-
tionary attitude on two other basic
issues-the attitude toward Negroes
and women.
The convention reaffirmed the Jim
Grow policy in regard to the organ
ization Of Negro workers.
. 1t refused to take any action
against those national and interna-
tional unions which exclude Negro
workers either by constitutional pro-
visions or "gentlemen's agreements.
1t reaffirmed the policy of setting up
Jim Grow federal labor unions for
Negro workers excluded by the big
unions and other Negro workers who
want to organize.
Randolph Praises Policy.
A. Philip Randolph of the Pullman
Porters' Union joined in the praise of
the official declaration Of the A. F.
of L. on the question Of Negro or
ganization, made weak and hesitat-
ing criticism of the application OF
the official policy and proposed that
the federal labor unions be made
more effective" The vote on the
question was unanimous.
Deny Delegate for Women.
The convention denied representa-
ton to the recently formed Fedora
ton of Women's Auxiliaries, The
women had asked merely fraternal
representation, but the vote was
against. The opposition to the pro-
posal was led by A. o. Wharton OF
the International Association of Ma
chinists and Frank x. Martel of the
Detroit. Central Labor Council and
the International Typographical
Union.
Cant Control Women"
The argument Of the opponents OF
the measure was that you cannot
control women" coupled with the un-
supported statement that they are
not grounded in trade union funda-
mentals." Darkly yelled hints that
women are more responsive to Com
munist propaganda than male trade
unionists were thrown out and the
feeling was quite general if this were
true the seating of a woman fra
ternal delegate would be certain "to
cause trouble"
The resolution for giving the
women's auxiliaries fraternal repre-
sentation came from the textile
workers.
In addition to the proposal of the
Executive Council for compulsory I'M
employment insurance to be enacted
by state legislatures, there are q
number of proposals from the iron
and steel workers union, the miners
teachers and textile workers on the
same question, most of which call for
federal unemployment insurance OF
federal supervision Of insurance.
The federal feature is sure to be
brought out strongly in the debate
on the report of the resolutions COM
nittee.

while Cleland is known only in his
own section. O'Bannon has many
friends among the old guard.
Friedrich would show strength
among the conservatives, while
Ludlow is playing for the profess
sionally virtuous.
That is the prediction, according
to the sign of Taurus the Bull.
Now let us look at the Republican
future under the sign of Capricor-
nus the Goat.
Senator James E. Watson will be
the nominee again for senator
mainly because no one else wants
the job.
The Governor nomination is open,
with M. Bert Thurman, national
committeeman, the front runner as
present. He will have to win on the
frs ballot or else give up the fight.
Frederick Lands, Logansport edi-
tor, radio columnist and 1928 con-
tender for the nomination for
Governor, would be formidable
opponent, but he has made no ges-
ture toward the honor, and it is
said that his new broadcasting con-
tract is so remunerative that he
will not give much attention to
politics.
Principal worry of the Republic
ans will be in regard to money for
the campaign. The more than $2O,-
600 deficit in the state committee
treasury will have to be cleared up
first, and that is why the committee
was called together hurriedly
Thursday and changes made in the
leadership.
Now please don't tell Governor
Leslie about the following predic-
ton or he will nullify for the fun
Of it, but the signs of the empty
pocketbook and the high tax dupli-
cate indicate that a call will be is
sued within sixty days for a special
session of the general assembly to
pass tax relief legislation.

cast and don't clip the predictions
so that in event of any failures to
perform you can say, Il told you so. .
