British Rivals in
MOnteyideo Meet

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Dec. IL
For the second time since the con-
vening of the Pan-American Con-
ference in this city, the imperialist
riyalries debating the program OF the
conference are sharply emphasized in
q fierce battle raging in the two
year war between Bolivia and Para
quay, whose puppet governments
represent respectively the United
States and British Imperialism.
paraguayan forces are reported to
have surrounded Is regiments Of
oBlivian troops, which are in acute
danger Of being cut off from the
main body. The Bolivian forces are
also in retreat from Alihuata, after
4 crushing defeat by the Paraguans,
Meanwhile, the U. S. imperialists
won a victory against their British
rivals by vote in the conference to-
day to remove from discussion the
question of cooperation with the
League Of Nations, to which the q.
S. delegation, headed by Secretary
of State HUI, was opposed. The
proposal to cooperate with the
League included project to invite
the League to send an observer to
the conference and was promoted by
the British through the Uruguayan
delegation.
The vote against the League was
made after secret conference yes
terday between Hull and Foreign
Minister Carlos Saavedra LaInaS OF
Argentina, at which Hull is believed

cessions in exchange for Argentina's
support for the U. S. program at the
conference.

Huge Canal to Connect
.MoscowW hCasbianSea

MOSCOW.-A canal which viii in
volve almost as much work as the
Panama Canal and more than seven
times as much as the Baltic-White
Sea Canal, and which will open di-
rect water routes from Moscow to
the Caspian and eventually TO the
Azov and Black Seas, is now under
construction over a distance of 81
miles.
The project is scheduled for COM
pletion by the end Of 1895. When it
is finished, Moscow will be encircled
by deep, wide river. Upon APP
preaching the city, the canal will
branch in two, to the east and north
west, forming a circle around Mos
COW deep enough for steamers carry
ing 1900 tons of cargo. Through
other canals Moscow will be linked up
with the Baltic and White Seas.
The project involving clearing 203,-
100000 cubic yards of earth, COM
pared with the 22l 100000 on the
Panama Canal, and the pouring Of
As million cubic yards of concrete
and ferro- concrete-three times as
much as was consumed in construc-
tion of the Dnieprostroi dam.
At present Moscow consumes 80
gallons of water per head daily. The
new project, which includes the
building of many reservoirs, dams,
locks and bridges, will increase the
supply to 1872 gallons. The Volga
will thus supply the bulk OF Mos
cows water. amounting to flow Of
8.25 gallons q second.
The great advantages OF the new
canal include economies in distances.
From Moscow to Cork, the new canal
cuts the distance from 654 miles Of
hard sailing to 5l2 miles of easy
travel. Leningrad today is 1879
miles from Moscow by the extremely
poor Mariinsk water route; the new
canal will bring it within 96e miles,
621 miles nearer the Baltic, and by
means of the Baltic-White Sea
Canal, to the White Sea.

bandits as well as against ones own
government, against ones own au-
thorities. These include the Social
Democratic party and trade union
leaders in such countries as Czecho-
slovakia, Denmark, Sweden and
Switzerland, which daily violate the
once sacred rights of Democracy, the
right to extend hospitality to political
fugitives who have been driven from
their own countries by counter-revo-
lution-and are now driven back
across the border.
Methods of Struggle Against Fascism
The great activity displayed in sup
plying material aid to the victims of
fascism in Germany and moral and
political support to the anti-fascist
German emigrants is aimed against
Hitler, as well as against ones own
bourgeoisie and its social-fascist SER
vitors: and SO much the more so
because the Social Democratic and
refornist party and trade union bu-
reaucratS try to cause a split also in
this activity by extensively advertis-
ing the Matteotti fund which has
long ceased to exist.
Boycotting German merchandise
may also be included in the manifold
forms of struggle of the foreign
workers against bloody German ia
scism. But, in the first place, this
boycott must be linked consistently
with the boycott of their transport,
that is, must bear the character Of
an economic blockade Of fascist Ger
many.
Second, this blockade must be or
ganized at a moment when the revc-
lutionary mass movement in Germany
has already reached high level, so
that fascism is confronted with its
direct collapse; the revolutionary
workers carry out the struggle against
German fascism in full accord with
the revolutionary militant activity OF
the German proletariat, conducted
under the leadership of the Commu-
mist Party of Germany, the only real
anti-fascist party there, correspond
ing to the degree of the revolutionary
class struggle in Germany itself at
the given time.

ing for the struggle to overthrow the

the Communist Party OF Germany, is
the party which conducts the day
to-day struggle without fear or hest
tation wherever these preparations
are being made. But the incessant,
interchangeable day-to-day revolution
airy struggle against the Hitler die
tatorship and all its political and eco
nomic measures must be conducted
not only in Germany, but also abroad,
against this unbridled bloody terror
if it is to guarantee decisive aid to
the German proletariat in its struggle
to overthrow the Hitler government.
The Germany Communist Party-the
Leader of the German Proletariat
The struggle against the German
Social Democratic Party is an integ-
raj part of this struggle. BY splitting
the working class, this party not only
lifted the Hitler hordes into the sad
die but is now about TO widen this
split in order by this means to help
prolong the life of fascism in Ger
many. The fight against the Social
Democratic swindle is an indispens-

struggle.
This swindle maneuver would have
us believe that the Social Democratic
Party is an anti-fascist power, while
its merchandise boycott is, as mat
ter of fact, nothing more nor less
than a diversive maneuyer whose ain,
lit is to sabotage the real struggle
against German fascism and against
the fascisrn Of ones own country.
The German proletariat and its
leader, the Communist Party, have
every right to demand of the entire
International proletariat that it dis
play solidarity which Is not to con-
sist merely in passing resolutions
which are tantamount to serving the
ends of ones own bourgeoisie, but
that it display its solidarity in deeds,
in militant activity. Nothing but a
simultaneous struggle against ones
own and against German fascism can
be Of any avail to the German work
ers.

For Decisive Action
Against Nazi
Murderers

This is the conclusion of an ar
ticle by Connrade Bella Kun, which
is of special importance to the
American workers. The recent con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor adopted a resolution to
boycott German goods as the method
OF struggle of the American work
ers against German fascism. The
attitude of the leadership of the
American Federation of Labor and
the American S. P. on the struggle
against German Fascisrn is part of
the same treacherous line as that
Of the entime Second Socialist In
ternationai. Comrade Bella Kun
gives the Communist position on
the boycott movement and presents
the working class revolutionary
methods of struggle against Ger
man Fascism and the Fascism Of
their own bourgeoisie.

CAPITOL FILM
 IS EXPOSE OF
 CITY POLITICS
Sidney Fox and Eric Lin den Starred in Dramatic
 Film Afraid to Talk

A dramatic screen answer to many pertinent questions American Icitizens are asking about rule by political parties is contained in Uni versals timely picture. Afraid to Talk" which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 Screened from the powerful dra- ma by Albert Maltz and George Sklar, Merry Go Round it pre- isents a group of municipal office holders under the dictates of a party boss, who find themselves forced by a clamoring press and public to gain conviction for an underworld murder.
 Happening on the eve of an inn portant election, the party leaders decide it necessary to act, but are suddenly thwarted when the gang ster murderer produces evidence which will bare the graft and bribery of the office holders. In desperation the party attempts to railroad" an innocent bell boy for the crime, and when public mind ed citizens instigate an investiga- tion, complications develop so rap idly that the film proceeds toward it's powerful climax with one in- tensely dramatic crisis after an- other.
 Sidney Fox, Universal's talented dramatic actress, enacts the fea- tured feminine roll as the loyal wife of the bell boy who is crlci- flied for political purposes, played by Eric Linden. Linden justifies the extraordinary dramatic talent he possesses in the sympathetic role. Fully Marshall, as the dis trict attorney, Louis Calhern as his suave assistant, Mayo Methot as the traitor underworld queen, and Edward Arnold as the gang leader provide other highlights of the unusually vivid picture. Benton Churchill, George Meeker, Robert Warwick and other screen favor ties are in prominent support. Ed ward Calm, one of Hollywood's most sensational young directors, noted for his swift tempo and fi- nesse in the direction of modern realistic drama, directed Afraid to Talk"
