BRITISH To TAKE
. LEAD URGING
PLAN ON j. 8.
Powers Joining in Program
Seek to Avoid Stigma of
Debt Default

A drive to induce the United
States to accept a small partial
payment on the $144,000,0 900 June
Is debt installments will be
launched within the next few
days by group of the debtor
nations headed by Great Britain,
1t was learned today.
This group is composed mainly
Of those nations which met their
December payments and wish to
avoid the stigma of default.
Britain to Take Lead
Great Britain will take the lead
In suggesting a partial payment
on the $75,950,000 British debt
installment due six days hence
However, this partial payment
will be proposed on condition that
1t is accepted as part of the
final debt settlement and that
the balance be regarded as post
poned rather than defaulted.
On this condition. several of
the other debtor nations, includ-
ing Italy and Rumania, will be
prepared to make partial pay
ment along with Britain.
Hold Logical Solution
The State Department already
has been advised informally by
the representative here of one of
the debtor nations that this
would be logical solution to the
June IS debt situation.
In the hope of persuading this
Government to fall for the part
payment plan, the diplomatic
representatives of this group are
spreading the word that France
will pay up the $19,000.000 de-
ferred December payment and
also part payment on the $40
100000 due June Is if the United
States agrees to the plan.

It was like the old days to see
that crowd-the old days of the
million dollar battles, the good
old Rickard days, when fight
fans had money to throw to the
birds.
Men and women, for the ladies,
with their modern savage in

garb, behatted or hatless, and
putting cigarettes with a nom

And takers by the squads,
lodging in and out through the
street crowds, hawking ice cream
and pop and beer and funny

It was exactly like the outside

fights that Rickard used to put

5,229 BANKS
REMAIN CLOSED
Small Depositors Face
Poverty

NEW YORK, March 17.-At the
close Of the first week of operation
of the new banking law, the vast ma
jority Of the banks throughout the
country are not opened for carrying
on full banking business. Withdraw
ais are still restricted from those
banks now opened. According to a.
number Of nation wide surveys there
are still 1922 banks in the federal
reserve system that are not open at
all. There are 1887 banks not mem
bers of the federal system that re-
main closed. Many of them will
never open, and the depositors will
not get anything, even in deprecated
currency.
Middle West Hard Hit.
The middle-wesJ section of the
country is hardest hit-thouSands Of
banks in the small one-industry
towns remaining closed. In Illinois
only 22I out of the 1865 banks in the
federal reserve system are opened for
deposits and limited Withdrawals,
many of these under conservators-
receivers. Of other banks numbering
684, only lis are opened for limited
transactions.
In Iowa only 80 OF the 1870 federal
reserve banks are opened. Of the 626
other banks, only 140 are opened. In
many of these towns all industry is
closed down and when the lquida-
ton of the banks results in their
going into the hands of the big bank
ers, the property of the industries
will also go to the big bankers
Depositors Face Destitution.
The plight Of many depositors,
especially elderly people, who saved
money all their lives SO they might
have something to keep them going
in their old age, is appalling, Many
banks that are closed held trust
funds, local pension and insurance
funds. The big Hartman National
Bank of New York City, which is
now closed because it is bankrupt,
hold more than 100000 Of the fire,
department pension funds. Widows
and orphans of firemen bear the loss.

(c) In the adoption and practical carrying out of
these two conditions, the Executive Committee of the
Communist international considers it possible to
commend the Communist Parties during the time of
fight against capital and Fascism to refrain
from making attacks on SocialDemocratic organiza-
tons. The most ruthless fight must be conducted
against all those who violate the conditions of the
agreement in carrying out the united front against
strike breakers who disrupt the united front of the
workers.
These conditions which are put forward for accept
by the Labor and Socialist International apply also
to those parties which, like the Independent Labor Party
for example have proposed to the Comintern the
ganizaton of the united front of struggle.
The Executive Committee of the Communist Inter-
national which makes these proposals before the inter-
national workngcass, calls upon all Communist PARTIES
and in the first place the Communist Party of Ger
many, Immediately and without waiting for the results
of negotiations and agreements with the Socia-Demo
cracy with regard to fight, to proceed to
ganze joint fighting committees with Social Democratic
workers and with workers of all other persuasions.
The Communists have proved, through their long
years of struggle that they stand, and will stand,
not in words but in deeds, in the front ranks of the
fight for The united front in actions against the
bourgeoisie
The Executive Committee of the Communist Inter-
national firmly believes that the Social Democratic and
nonParty workers. regardless of what attitude the Social
Democratic leaders adopt in setting up the united 'front.'

the workngclass of Germany, calls upon all Communist

through the medium of the Social-Democratic Parties
The E.C.CI makes this attempt in the firm
victon that the united front of the workingcas
the basis of the class struggle will be able to repe
the offensive of capital and Fascism and to accelerate
to extraordinary degree the inevitable end of all
capitalist exploitation.
Owing to the popularity of the conditions we'll

ties for definite actions against the bourgeose be
carried out successfully within the confines of each
individual country The Executive Committee of the Com
munis national recommends the Communist Parties
of the various countries to approach the Central Com
mittees of the Democratic Parties belonging to the
Labor and Socialist international with proposals regarding
joint actions against Fascism and against the capitalist
offensive.
Nevertheless, the negotiations between the parties
concluding such agreement must be based the most
elementary prerequisites for the common fight.
Without a concrete programme of action against
the bomgeose any agreement between the parties
would be directed against the interests of the working
class.
The Executive Committee of the Communist Inter
national therefore proposes following points basis

organize self-defense groups.
(b) Communists and Social-Democrats shall com

The Daily Worker is operated at weekly loss or
deficit of 81 200. When the drive was started
Jan. A. there was accumulated deficit of $4,000

weekly deficit for Is weeks Moreover $4,000 needed
to repair the "Daiys" press which is in such cond
ton that may collapse at any moment 1t is clear
that $4,000 is the minimum required to put the paper
