United Front Of Struggle in France Is
Beacon for ToiIers Of Whole World

working class is one, it needs one
labor federation &C. G. t., one
party"
Then followed Maurice Thorez
representing the Communist Party
of France. Again from the farthest
and nearest alleys of the forest one
heard in dramatic and proletarian
unison the tune of the Interna-
tional. Maurice Thorez is ac-
claimed in a frenzy of enthusi-
asrn," says the report. Comrade
Thorez, as the last speaker, said, in
part:
Militant Socialists and militant
Communists of the Paris region
have proven that it is possible to
realize united front, powerful,
loyal and honest, against the bour-
geoisie and against fascism. We
who are attached to the doctrine of
Leninism wish with all our might
to fight with the Socialist workers
in order that fascism shall not
triumph" Answering zyromski, he
said: THE hour is too grave. We
men of the Third International are
convinced that the Soviets will tri-
umph all over the world. But I
say after zyromski, it is possible
that we unite Immediately in or
der to prevent fascism. Certainly
the proletariat needs one G. G.. T.,
it needs one Party. But this Party
must be constituted on irreducible
principles of hostility to the CAPT
talist system. No national defense
in capitalist regime Nothing
can stop our will to smash fas-
cism."
S. P. Accepts C. P. Pact
The first manifesto of united &C
ton has been sealed. The senti-
ments expressed by the 10000
workers who demonstrated at the
Bots de Vincennes succeeded in
convincing the G. A. P. permanent
Administrative Committee) of the
Socialist Party that the united
front should be extended through
out France, and on the 18th of
July the G. A. P, meeting in a
national council, accepted in toto
the anti-fascist pact of united &C
ton as proposed by the Central
Committee of the Communist Party
of France. The basis of the agree
ment is as follows:
article Each Party pledges
itself to organize in common and
to participate with all its re-
sources organizations, press,
militants, elected delegates, etc.
in campaign throughout the
country, having as its aim:
az to mobilize the working
class population against the fas-
cist organizations in France, for
their disarmament and dissolu-
ton;
b. against the governments
decree-laws;
@ against the Hitler terror,
for the liberation of Thaelmann
and all anti-fascists.
Article ii - This campaign
against fascism will be con-
Quoted by means of joint meet
ings in the greatest possible
number of localities and en-
terprises, by means of demon
STATIONS and anti-fascist coun-
Recommendations in the
streets. The campaign against
the decree-laws will be con-
Quoted in the same manner,
but in addition, by setting in
motion methods of agitation
and organization purposed to
lead to the realization of large
scale strike movements against
the decree-laws. If during this
United Action, members of
either Party find themselves
involved in fascist struggles,
the members of the other Par
ty will eutend help and CO.
operation in order to drive
back the fascists.
Article III-While this Unit
ed Action agreement is in
force, the two Parties will abb
stain from attacking, insult
ing or criticizing the organiza-
tons and militsnts participant
ing loyalty in this United Ac-
ton; nevertheless, each Party
