French Socialist Leaders Against
the United Front

of the GoveSumene on the civil Serv-
ants and the municipal workers was
being developed in full force, thanks
to the active support of the socialist
members of Parliament.
Blum spread himself over more
than 10 pages of the "Populaire" with
his philosophi1ngs on an abstract
unity of the working class, but he has
avoided saying what he thinks with
regard to the following sentences
from the letter Of our Central Com
mittee: 'The acceptance of our pro-
posals presupposes remuneration of
any kind of policy Of cooperation
with the bourgeoisie."
French Socialists Support Daladier
Cabinet as Lesser Evil
We understand why perfectly well
1t is because this Is the only policy
the S.P.F. is willing to pursue. The
Daladier Government is, more than
ever the lesser evil. It's foreign poll
cy is being acclaimed as the one most
furthering world peace, and it's home
policy as the most democratic and
the one offering the most opposition
to the wave of pro-fascist sentiment
rapidly developing in France. 1t is
impossible to participate actively in
the preparations for war and the
strengthening of the authority of
the state" and at the same time to
Cooperate In the uniting of the
masses in the struggle against fascism
and war. The French section of the
Socialist International, which is fall
ing TO pieces, in face OF the imnai-
nence OF war, can choose only one of
these ways, and is has made its
choice
Its real attitude with regard TO
united action against fascism and war
is demonstrated by the expulsion of
two Socialist officials who had dared
TO cooperate in the work of the AM
sterdam Anti-War Committees. With
out doubt other expulsions will fol-

mittee was fully justified In con-
trasting the policy of the C.PF.,

In a special meeting Of the Greek

the persecution of the Communists
had not yielded satisfactory results.
Repressive measures against Commu-

there are thousands Of men with a
proportional amount Of planes, equip

the country.
Hurry Preparations.
The choice Of time, however, is the
most significant thing about these
maneuyers. Army officials admit
that they have been Watching other
countries to learn how they carried
on aerial attack and defense. But
in the only case of active, large scale
warfare. that Of Japan against Chi
ma, they say that they have failed to
find a parallel because of Chinas
weak air force. They say that they
can wait no longer to "see how it's
done" and by this admission prove
that they expect the U. S. to be in
the center Of the coming war.
The extent of the maneuvers show
that the time is not far away. With
the international situation becoming
more and more tense, it's conflicts
and animosities continually more
sharp, and now on the verge of ex-
ploding into actual warfare, with
more unemployed, more wage-cuts.
and more starvation and no actual

through forced labor camps and in
flation-there is only one answer and
that is war! And the preparation
for this war, this humiliation of mil

creasing haste.
The war industries are the only
ones going full blast. Under the

the attacking aerial forces is at Pat

the major portion of the men spread
out over serni-circular area with a
radius Of about $50 miles from Fort

In several ways these maneuvers
are Of particular significance to us
In the first place is its type, aerial
defense. We well know that in any
capitalist country defense" meas
ure is capable of being, and usually
is, an "attack" measure. If this
maneuver were to truly test aerial
defense. why should it be held in
the central portion of the country

Imperialist Powers
Withdraw Gold from
international Bank

So great is the tension among the
imperialist powers that they have all
withdrawn their gold holdings from
the Bank Of International Settle
ments, 1t ia now known.
The Bank Of International Settle
nents was formed to facilitate inter
national financial movements, includ-
ing such matters as reparationS, war
debt payments, etc. 1t was hailed as
indicating the stability of peaceful
relations among the different cOun-
tries.
With the antagonisms between the
capitalist countries growing into more
open conflict every day, the bank
ers have judged that 1t is unsafe to
leave their gold boards In foreign
countries.

to a record high.

A French attack on a native
rebel stronghold at Ait Haddidou
in the Atlas Mountains was re-
pulsed by insurgent tribesmen to-
day. Two officers and ten in
fantrymen of the French Colonial
Army were killed.
In the course OF the peaceful pc

not yet under French military rule,
more than 1000 French soldiers and
officers have been killed since Ja-

Most Of the 1000 slain were killed
in the battle Of Diebel Sagho, where
the most modern army in the world
suffered a grave defeat at the hands
OF "uncivilized" mountaineers.
The Paris "Humanite" reports that
some 10000 soldiers are engaged in
these operations, which have con-

Guilford College Choir
Gives Splendid Recital.

"HE Gu1l1Ord COllege CnO1
brought to Washington last
night some Of the finest
i choral singing heard from
any visiting organization. Re-
sembling the Russian school In Its
organ-like fullness of SOUND and at
tention to detail, 1t reached finer
effects through the native beauty Of
the voices and the evidence OF their
excellent training.
Singing in the National City
Christian Church, the program was
of strictly religious character and
embraced the finest examples OF this
type Of choral work written by the
composers Of different nationalities.
Beginning with Palestrina, the CEN
turies were represented by q pro-
Qression through the old English and
German writer's to modern Russian
and later day arrangements OF old
Spanish hymns.
The voices were used softly for the
most part, which IN no way inter-
fered with the clearness OF dlction
and made 1t possible for the audi
ence to follow the songs without
printed text. The crescendos were
well planned and the release OF
power was equally easy and logical.
There Is a sameness OF quality
throughout from the high soprano
to the low bass which Is responsible
for the smoothness Of sound 90
pleasing to the ear. Singing uI1-
accompanied, the pitch was sus-
tanned with accuracy and the 1ntrt-
cate harmonies developed with .
sureness that proves the serious
musicianship which is the founda-
ton Of the choir's training.
With simplicity and no apparent
effort the singers caught the tone
and wound through complicated
fugues and difficult melodies with
perfect ease on the technical side.
giving exact value to each musical
phrase. Seldom has the rare beauty
of these splendid revelations Of re-
ligious feeling been so feelingly
brought home to the casual listener
or their deep significance made SO
clear There was dignity and COM
pleteneSs in the interpretations that
left nothing to be desired.
Max Noah, who is responsible Tor
this splendid work, had arranged q
program which had no moment Of
sameness in spite of the similarity
of the subjects of the compositions.
Bach's "All Breathing Life, Sing and
Praise Ye the Lord" was a magnifl-
cent example Of fugue singing, while
in the Ave Verum Corpus" by
willard Byrd, the pliancy of the
choir was demonstrated by the sharp
attacks and quick releases which
gave power to this SPLENDID hymn
from the early seventeenth century.
Nikolsky's THE Lord Said Unto My
Lord" presented unusual difficulties
of intonation which were apparently
not difficult for the singers, while
Tschesnokoff's salvation Is Great
ed" was rich with a quality and
volume Of sound that was never
forced beyond the proper boundary.
The unusual Song of Mary" by
KranZ. from the Spanish of Vega,
was a beautiful arrangement for a
solo soprano (Sung by Mrs. Noah)
against the harmonious humming of
the choir. 1t would not only be
pleasant but Of great value to hear
more of such singing. A. E.
