much Importance to the German gov

to the British disarmament plan,
(which would have had shattering
effect on the prospects OF olsarma-

He concluded that it would be foolish
to harbor the hope that the conference
was on the eve of some definite ana
final agreement, but he believed there
was a very good spirit in the effort now
being made to go through the Britlsn
plan article by article.
Fears Policies VIII Conflict.
The Liberal leader, Sir Hubert
Samuel. Joining in the debate, ex-
messed fears that the British policy at
fhe World Economic Conference would
not harmonize with the idea OF aoolI-
ticn of restrictions on international
trade. He pointed out that the BRUSH
delegation would be led by Neville
Chamberlain, lifelong and ardent
protectionlst.
Hope probably lies in the smaller
powers such as Belgium, Holland and
the Scandinavian countries, Sir Her
bert said, adding:
"And it may be we shall get ef.
fectiye assistance from the Unlted
States of America, whose Secretary OF
state has stated that America has re-
sponsibility to lead the world away
from economic nationalism."
Sir John Simon closed the f1ve-hour
debate with a guarded reference to the
Britist attitude at the World Economic
Conference, saying that the results
which all desire would more likely be
procured of we go into it, not indeed
with open minds, but with minds as
well stored as possible, and with the
determination to give as well as take, 10
listen as we'll as teach, and by interna-
tional cooperation to do something to
restore the prosperity of the world.

issue an appeal to all workers Of this

Friday, and continuing for three days.
Section l, with a quota of 1925, has
raised only s15497; Section 2, quota

quota $780, has raised $121.71; Sec
ton II, quota 500, has raised $5443;
Section Il, quota $780, only $5.75.
These poor results are due to a mar
row appeal for funds to only the
closest supporters and Party member

The Tag Days offer an immediate
way to get support from the broad
masses. We appeal to every Party
member, members Of mass organiza-
tions, trade unions, regardless Of any
other work, to report on the tag days
to the Cleveland stations printed in
the Daily Worker. The Party lead

New Rates i'm Camp
N i t g e d a i G e t

In 1882 when the cost OF living
was reduced and the wages of the
workers were cut, our proletarian
camps were the first to reduce the
rates from $1,000 to $1,000 per week.
The new rate was made on a nom
profitable basis to enable the thous-
andS of workers to spend their va
cations in our camps.
The situation now is quite re-
versed. During the past six months,
1.-THE New Deal increased the cost of
living, particularly OF food products.
In comparison to last year food
prices increased at least 20 per cent,
and in some instances more.
/ Faced with these conditions, the
Camp Committee postponed the ne
cessary increase of rates to meet
this new situation as long as pos
sible.
Comrades, we now find ii impos-
slble, II we are to maintain our
camp, to continue on the old rate.
Therefore, we are compelled to
raise the minimum of Sl.00 per
week, which brings the rates to
Sl9O0 including tax.
Rates for I. w. o. members bring
ing letter signed by branch Sec
retaries are $1,000 including tax.
We can also accommodate those
who are in need of special diets
during THE winter season.

Sanders, Militant
Communist, Is Dead
from Heart Failure

NEW YORK. Workers of the
downtown section, and Polish workers
here and in Cleveland, will be shocked
to learn of the sudden death from
heart trouble Sunday evening Of j.
Sanders, 43, who has been active in
the revolutionary movement ever
since he came to the United States
in 1912.
Comrade Sanders, member of
Unit 9, Section /, District 2, of the
Communist Party, fell dead in the
street, while fulfilling a Party assign
ment. He had been in excellent
health and very active in party and
mass organization work until the very
moment of his death.
Before the war, Comrade Sanders
belonged to the Workmen's Circle of
the Socialist Party. He withdrew
from the Socialist Party in protest
against its policy toward the war, and
later joined the G. P. He was very
active in relief and defense work dur
ing the time of the Palmer raids
and deportationS, and in the past de-
cade has been active in Polish work.
He was member of the Polish Buro
of District 2.
Arrangements for the funeral we're
in the hands of the Polish Solidarity
Club, 20 st. Marks Place, an active
revolutionary club which was orPan-
lied year ago by Comrade Sanders,
and of the I. w. O., of which he
was a member. He leaves two daugh-
tiers, one of whom is now in the
Soviet Union, the other active in the
Y. G. L. in Paterson, N. ].
The body has been brought to the
Polish Solidarity Club, 20 st. Marks
Place, where the body can be seen
Thursday and FRIDAY morning. The
mass funeral will take place Friday
IL O'Clock with a march to 7th Street
and Ave. A, where 9, mass omen all

were convicted. Ruby has since con-
fessed that she told that story under
duress and fear.
When the Undergraduates are re-
turned here by Monday morning
Brodsky will reply to Knights ques-
tions and let Ruby explain how she
happened to give her testimony at
the first trial-the details of how the
Scottsboro boys were framed.
While these Undergraduates were on
their way to New York both sides
utilized the days court adjournment
by preparing for arguments in the
defense motion to quaSh the indict-
ments against the Scottsboro boys
because of the deliberate exclusion
of Negroes on the grand jury that
indicted them.
On this question evidence submit
ted at the Patterson trial this spring
will be read in court again for the
record. But the defense has several
new witnesses to add to the cumula-
tive evidence it has already produced.
Brodskv has issued subpoenas for
Judge Hawkins, who presided at the
original Scottsboro trials. when the
BOYS were convicted in q few days
without proper legal presentation.

Judge Horton ruled that he did not
have to answer. This ruling was re-
versed by Judge Callahan.
It was pointed out that to have

likely have made it a reversible error

is laboriously designed to circumvent

the Supreme Court by the I. L. D.
resulted in Negroes being placed on
