BRAND, MAN OF PEACE

In the death of Aristide BRAND, the
great French statesman, the world has lost
one of its most powerful advocates of peace
No man has contributed more to the cause
of international amity and cooperation since
the World War than he, although his far
reaching plans attained only partial success
during his lifetime.
BRAND was especially active in his eff
forts to promote a better feeling between
France and Germany; he was an important
factor in bringing about the Locarno treat
les, and was co-author of the Kellogg BRAND
pact He dreamed of United States OF
Europe, and while little progress has been
made in the direction of such union, IN
time his dream may possibly come true.
His record as holder of public offices
is remarkable in that he was IL times prem
Ter of France, 16 times foreign minister, four
times minister of the interior, thrice minister
of justice, and twice minister of education.
Such a record would only be possible, of
course in a country where cabinet changes
occur so frequently as in France, about once
year on an average.
BRAND narrowly missed the presidency
of the republic in May of last year, much to
his disappointment and to the regret of his
many admirers throughout the world. But
he carried on bravely as foreign minister
until poor health forced his retirement few
weeks ago.
He died peacefully in coma after suffer
ing stroke of paralysis. Thus passed away
in his 10th year one of the worlds foremost
statesmen, Aristide BRAND, apostle of peace.

STEPS TOWARD COMMON SENSE

Politics and politicians when seeking public

trends, that the Younger Republicans organization
Minnesota political unit, is departing from the
beaten paths by providing simple and reasonable
platform through which they will seek political sup
portland action.
Probably the plank that most appeals to us is
that regarding the income tax. Therein the Young
Republicans do not dodge the ISSUE as did the re-
cent legislature, and leave the question of deciding
how much money shall be raised by that method
and what it shall be raised for to future legisa
tive body. They specified that they would demand
an income tax that will equalize present taxes, in
clude guarantee that it shall replacement and
not one to provide additional income and offer

CALL CONFERENCE

To Plan Joint Action

NEW YORK, July IL. = The dress
shop chairman and delegates at a
special meeting decided to send let
ter to the Executive Boards of all
locals of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union calling for
a conference to plan a joint organi-
rational drive under the leadership
and control of the shop chairman.
The letter to the boards says in
part:
THE dress trade board of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union greets with satisfaction the
movement within your ranks for
united action with our union against
the unbearable working conditions in
the trade.
1--WE therefore, on1e more take the
initiative to invite your organization
for conference as proposed by left

prepare for a mass organization drive
during the coming season and to be
carried through by a broad rank and
file committee elected by the shop
chairman and committees"

JOBLESS FIGHT
FRAUD BUREAUS
Local Unemployed De-
nounce Blanks

NEW YORK.-The Home Relief
Bureaus are continuing their fake
registration of the unemployed. -Four
page application blanks that are al
most impossible to fill out are being
used in this scheme. There is not the
slightest intention to give relief and
every excuse is used to send the work
ers home again without relief.
Twenty-three thousand workers
who have been registered for weeks
have not even been investigated.
When these workers returned to find
out why they didn't get food they
were told "if you were able to live
so far you don't need relief" Twenty
five cents notary fees are grated
from the unemployed by insisting on
a notary's signature to these fake
applications.
Commissioner Taylor of the Public
Welfare Department and Mayor
Jimmy Walker put over this fraud
while they spouted a lot of dema-
gogic phrases about worrying for the
unemployed
All the neighborhood Councils of
the Unemployed are holding open-air
meetings, mobilizing the workers to
smash this fraud.
