Bolivian Army
Reported toBe
In Full Retreat

LA PAz, Bolivia, Nov. 30.-The
Bolivian army along the Pilcomayo
River boundary Of the Gran Chaco
is In disorderly retreat along the
entire front, an official dispatch
from Paraguay reported. At the
same time President j. L. r. Sor-
zAno, recently raised to the presi-
dency by coup d'etat, speaking
for American oil and tin interests,
appealed to the soldiers of the
Bolivian army to hold fast against
the advance Of the Paraguayans.
While the Paraguayan forces
pushed on toward Forts Cururenda
and d'Orbigny, the coalition gov
eminent of President Tejada of
Paraguay found that its services of
continuing the war for British i'm
perialism was meeting with mount
ing resistance throughout the coun-
try. The unbearable poverty and
the appalling number of those
slaughtered in the conflict has led
to rising opposition on both sides
toward the continuation of the war,
and the cabinets of both countries
are facing dilemma for which
either alternative signifies a defeat
for their servile bourgeoisie.
The termination of the war would
mean the rehabilitation of huge
armies to cities and farms where no
means of subsistence await them;
continuing the slaughter would alb
solutely result in the mutiny Of the
armies. Bolivian soldiers have al
ready been prohibited from carry
ing arms except at the moment of
going into battle; afterwards the
weapons are collected and locked up.

leadership has given verbal sup
por to the united front. Whether
their pledges will be confirmed by
a vote Of definite action at this
meeting is the chief subject of dis
cussion in many sections Of the
labor movement today.
Previous to his departure for Bos-
ton yesterday, Hathaway issued a
statement briefly setting forth the
issues involved. There is no valid
reason for continued Socialist Party
opposition to the united front in
the United States" Hathaway en-
phasized. He cited the success OF
the united front in France, Italy
and Austria.
Communist Statement
His statement follows:
I'VE are going to Boston 10
press the Communist Party'S pre-
poSalS for a united front Of Strug-
gle on a number of immediate
issues on a number of immediate
broad masses of workers.
THE National Executive Com
mittee of the Socialist Party,
which meets in Boston on Satur-
day and Sunday, declared at its
last meeting in Milwaukee that
at this December session II would
again consider the United Front.
Since the Milwaukee meeting the
Second International, with which
the Socialist Party Is AFFILIATED,
has given each affiliated Party the
right to determine It's own atti-
tude toward the United Front.
The French, Italian, Austrian and
a number of other Socialist Par
ties have already concluded
United Front agreements with the
Communist Party. There can be
no valid reason for continued So
eiaiist Party opposition to the
United Front in the United
States.
1--WE will urge united action
against Roosevelt's new attacks
on the unemployed and employed
workers relief and wage cuts,
etc. and for improved conditions
for workers; we will urge united
struggle against war and against
fascism. The recent disclosures
of growing fascist activities taken
together with the administration
hunger policies makes united
action imperative. We will do
our best to convince the So
cialist Executive Of the correct
ness of the Communist proposals"

A report on the United Front dis
cussions will be made at a mass
meeting tonight, where Hathaway
and Ford will be the chief speak

ment was passed at the last regular
meeting.
The Granite Cutters Union here
has arranged a symposium on IN
employment Insurance, and has
called upon all its members to CO.
operate in making the meeting a
SUCCESS. Delegates to the National
Congress will be elected and steps
taken to finance the large delega-
tion from this city.
At the meeting Of the Central
Labor Union, the proposed unem-
ployment reserve measure for New
Hampshire, made on the basis of
the recent report of the State Com
mission of Unemployment, came up
for discussion. The majority OF
delegates were convinced that this
measure holds nothing for the pres
ent unemployed Speakers pointed
out that one must first obtain q
Job to be eligible for unemployment
insurance under this measure, and
that in no case will benefits be
more than SIS for 16 weeks in the
year. The minimum is set at S..
The conclusion arrived at was that
the entire measure was opposed to
the interests Of organized labor.
Under the new business, the Ma
tional Congress for Unemployment
Insurance came up. Previously, the
call to the National Congress had
been distributed to all delegates to
the Central Labor Council.
EIaneuvers were made to table
endorsement until further informa-
ton was received from A. F. Of l..
President Green. Delegates brought
out that the Congress Call stipu-
lations are only covered by the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill. Endorsement to the National
Congress was then passed.
