NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-There is
IN no possibility that Norman
Thomas, the respected ex-preach-
er, eX-social worker and ex-
Princetonian, will be elected
president on the Socialist ticket,
but it is evident that most of the
voters dissatisfied with the old
parties will vote for him, rather
than for the Communists.
This is because Thomas and his
party are fighting for an orderly
revolution by definite, clean-cut
program, whereas the Commun-
lists, extreme left wing radicals,
insist that violence is necessary.
And the average American, ac-
customed to nonviolence in the
country since the Civil war, fears
the consequences of a bloody
revolt.
Thus Thomas, denounced by
capitalists whom he wishes to
overthrown and bitterly opposed
by Communists, will fight for
election between two fires. But
this position will bring votes.
How many? Estimates have
been as high at 100000. Even
if the figure is much less, it will
be a significant protest vote and
will lay a foundation for building
a stronger Socialist party in 1886.
Norman Thomas does not be-
lieve that revolution is immi-
nent, although "the- the
street." intellectuals, and even
capitalists constantly talk about
it. This writer asked Thomas if
he thought the bonus army riots
were forerunnerS of an actual re-
volt this winter.
II DO not think there will be a
Il revolution this winter" was
his reply. But I hate to think
of what will happen. I predict
that there will be a combination
of actual starvation with riots,
and that unemployed armies will
be routed by troops with sadistic
fervor."
THE tempo of modern life is
so fast that our crises are crowd
ed into a short time. We, as So
cialists, will stake our efforts on
an orderly revolution, because
modern engines of war are so de-
structive and horrible. We want
to avoid catastrophe, if we can"

lists, endorsed by the League for
Independent Political Action. of
which DR.. John Dewey, distin-
guished educator, is the head, is
no novice in politics.
He was candidate for Governor
of New York state in 1924, a
presidential nominee in 1923, and
in 1925 and 1929, making remark
able runs for mayor of New York,
he polled hundreds of thousands
of votes. He knows his politics.
Let's get back to the dictionary
definition of Socialism and see
how American Socialists have fit
ted it to modern conditions. Says
the dictionary:
Socialism is a state Of society
based on public or collective
ownership of the main instru-
ments of wealth production Qand,
means of transportation and COM
munication, mines, mills, factories,
and modern machinery and on
democratic management Of the
industries of the communities for
the benefits of it's members"
HERE'S what American Social
l. Il lists want:
A unified banking system to
prevent bank failures, electrif1-
cation of world industries, crea-
ton of a federal marketing
agency to allow agriculturists to
get a fair share of sales price
for products, genuine disarma-
ment, recognition Of Russia so
America can get a share of its
enormous trade, cancellation of
war debts, and entry into the
League of Nations.
Thomas advocates further. $10,-
000,000,000 for Self-Supporting
public works, such as reforesta-
ton; attack on Slums by publicly
owned buildings certain to return
IS per cent of original invest
ment; development of electrical
supply for rural areas, building of
necessary bridges and tunnels to
be paid for by tolls, etc. All this
is to relieve unemployment.

for his action in the bonus army

PARIS, Nov. II (I.N.S.).
The European. campaign to
obtain revision or cancellation
of the billions in war debts
owed to the United States is
on in full blast, it was Offici-
ally admitted here today.
"Active negotiations" Louis Ger
main.Martin. minister Of finance.
said, have been begun with the
Hoover administration in Wash
ington to delay payment OF the
debt instalment due from the
French government next month.
This announcement was made
after word reached here that
Great Britain had directly Ap-
preached the American govern"
ment on the war debt question
and that London had made known
that France and Italy had been
informed Of the British move.
The British government, Inter
national News Service learned,
acted in full accord with France,
and 1t is assumed that Premier
MuSsolinl of Italy, was also q
party to the arrangement, though
confirmation of thi fact is lack
ing from Rome.

ton dealing with the war debts.
and particularly the inStalment
due December Is.
The British government is ex-
pected to await q reply by the
United States before making pub
lie the text Of the communtca'
tion.
Experts Of the preparatory
committee Of the world economic
conference have "confidentially"
reported to their various govern
mentS, including the United
States, that the war debt Ques-
ton must be settled before any
other economic or financial QueS-
tions can be tackled effectively.
This was revealed to Inter

the British public was awaiting

American reaction to the British
note delivered at Washington
yesterday asking respite on the

due December IS.

The press pridefully pointed
out today that Great Britain is
able to pay the installment If
compelled to do so, but news

Armistice that ended the
worlds greatest war, the
United States today was faced
with the prospect of virtual
reputation of the foreign
debt agreements under which
this country was to have re-
ceived in principal and in
terest more than $22, 2,0W, ,0OO,-
900.
Simultaneous with the en-.
nouncement by Secretary Of the
Treasury Mills that the payment
Of S444, ,o2O, due from Greece,
had not been received, marking
the first default under the debt
pacts, Sir. Ronald Lindsay, the
British Ambassador, conferred
with Secretary Of State Stimson
in the initial official movement
toward revision Of the debts.
Hardship, IL Plea
The Ambassador was under.
stood to have told Stimson that
the financial situation Of the
British government was seriously
strained and that payment OF
the sos, $50, 200 due December Is
would be, a great hardship.
If absolutely unavoidable, 1t
was believed that England would
meet the payment.
DesirouS Of passing along the
troublesome foreign problem to
the Roosevelt administration,
President Hoover's Government,
however, must take some action
when Congress meets.
The effect on international
credit Of q default by Great
Britain might be disastrous and
at the same time London feels
that meeting the payment would
have no better consequence.
