USSR Offers
Plan to End
War inChacO

GENEVA, Nov. 22.-Defnite pro-
posals for terminating the savage
inperiaist-supported Chaco war
between Bolivia and Paraguay were
hammered out today in the AS
Sembly Of the League of Nations
by Maxim Litvinov Commissar for
Foreign Affairs Of the Soviet Union.
Declaring that "the decisions that
we will take may have very impor-
tant repercussions in more serious
conflicts, and this must be borne in
mind by all of u.s." Litvinov en-
phasized that "the Soviet delegation
for its part will insist that the de-
cisions OF this Assembly in this par
ticular case should be strict and
firm and that the Assembly should
be firm in seeing that its decisions
are carried out"
To this end the Soviet CommiSsar
made two proposals:
First, concerning the indirect time
limit of Dec. IL which the Chaco
report fixes for acceptance or rejec-
ton by the belligerents, Litvinoy
demanded that the time limit BIZ
directly established and be short
enough to prevent either belligerent
from developing its movements
and making further seizure of ter
ritory."
Secondly, Litvinov called for the
extension of the arms embargo, an
embargo hypocritically passed by
the United States and British gov
ernments in such a manner as tc
favor their respective subject forces
in Bolivia and Paraguay. Hitting al
this deliberately framed weakness
of the embargo, he demanded a
strict check-up of the transit OF
arms, since no arms can reach the
parties without crossing Argentina,
Chile, Peru or Brazil.

until the last ditch, waiting
for revolutionary reinforcement:
throughout Spain. They called OF
the workers, peasants and soldiers
Of all of Spain to follow their ex-
ample. But the failures, the
treachery of the Anarchists in
Barcelona sealed their fate.
VaciliatiOn in Catalonia
While daily fighting was going on
in Madrid, while the anarchists
were betraying, and the Workers
Alliance in Catalonia was vacillat-
ing, waiting for the national bour-
geoisie under the leadership of Com
panyS to take the initiative, the
Asturias proletariat issued as their
first proclamation the following
manifesto:
workers! Our glorious move
ment is spreading over the whole
Of Spain. In numerous places In
Spain the movement has CONSOLE
dated with the victory Of the
toiling masses, the workers, peas
ants and soldiers.
"As soon as our inner cOnnec-
tons have been established and
secured, you will be kept informed
rs to events in our republic and
all over Spain. When our broad
casting stations are working, with
ordinary and short waves, you
will be kept informed.
Individually we have reached
the last effort for the CONSOLE
dalton Of the victory of the rev
Olution. The Fascist enemy is
about to surrender, as also the
paid soldiery with their apparatus
guns, munitions, and other arms
which we cannot name, as the
war material must not become
known, have fallen into our
hands.
"The forces of the army of the
defeated republic of April 14th
are in retreat, and our vanguards
are being Joined by the soldiers
ranging themselves in our glorious
movement.
forward workers, women, peas
ants, soldiers, and revolutionary
militia! Long live the social
revelation!
THE REVOLUTIONARY
COMMITTEE"
This manifesto was signed by the
Revolutionary Committee of Oviedo
Behind them were 10000 armed
Red Guards, and 100000 striking
workers.
Asturias blazed the way for the
future of the Spanish revolution
Asturias was the handwriting on
the wall of the fortress Of Spanish
fasciSm. No wonder Asturias, its
glorious achievements, its revolt
tionary daring, is on the lips of the
whole Spanish working class Nc
wonder it is the perpetual night
mare Of the hoary horde of the OPP
pressors-the rich landlords, the
myrmidons of the church, the fas-
cist scum, and the whole rotter
class of capitalist landlords anc
agents of the foreign conces-
sionaires!

the situation? What are the per-
spectives in Spain7
In this series Of articles we pro-
pose to examine and discuss the
factors leading to the armed strug-
giles in Spain, the course of these
struggles, and the situation con-
fronting the Spanish workers today
On Oct. 5, after the prearranged
resignation of the Samper cabinet,
the signal for the Inauguration of
an open fascist regime, a general
strike was called throughout Spain
by the Workers Alliance.
On September 10, the Communist
Party had entered the Workers AL
lance, Transforming it into the in
strument of the united front. The
general strike was followed quickly
by the armed struggle against fas-
ciSm, though it was weighed down
with the wrong and fateful vacilla-
tions and tactics of the Socialist
leaders, and outright sabotage and
treachery of the anarchists. Long
before the armed struggle, the Com
munist Party Of Spain had placed
the question Of preparation for the
revolution and the tactics of in
surfing its success clearly before the
workers and peasant masses.
'The forces of revolution and
cOunter-revolution stand facing
each other, front to 'front.'" de-
clsred the Resolution of the Gen.
trail Committee many months be-
fore, "and decisive battles will
take place shortly. This is the
situation in Spain.
I'm this situation the funda-
mental problem Of securing the
victory Of the revolution is the
organization and bringing together
Of the forces Of revolution
under a firm leadership which is
conscious of its aims"
Nothing could be clearer. Later
events were to underline and en-
phasize the correctness of this foro.
cast, and already beforehand to
touch on the reasons for the failure
to achieve the victory within the
grasp of the toiling masses.
The Three Forces
To understand the course of the
revolutionary battles it is necessary
here to point out that three forces
were at the head Of the proletariat
First, there was the Socialist Party
they had the largest section of the
organized proletariat behind them
Second, the anarcho syndicalist
leaders, strategically holding lead
ership in the storm center of Cata-
lonia, where the crux of the revo-
lutionary fighting was bound ur
with the national question and the
proletarian revolution. The anarcho.
Syndicalist leaders were entrencheo
in that portion of Spain where ovel
one-third of the whole proletariat
is concentrated, and where the
question Of national independence
is paramount. This was decisive

Ex-Servicemen's League
Will Hold Farley in
Chicago, Dec. Z

NEW YORK.-The national office
Of the Workers Ex-Servicemen's
League yesterday issued a call for
its second national convention, to
be held in Chicago, on Dec. 7, 8
and 9, 1884. The full text of the
convention call follows:
Two years have elapsed since the
First National Convention of the
Workers Ex-Servicemen's League,
held in Cleveland, Sept, 1882. These
have been two years of vital i'm
portance for the veterans of this
country. The Cleveland Convention,
held in the wake of the Bonus
March Of July, 1882, was able to
analyze this historic event from the
political, economic and social point
of view.
The conclusions of this conven-
ton, that the act of the Hoover
regime is using armed forces to
drive the veterans out of the capt.

wages and without provision for re-
Mobilization or relief, would SO ex-

ATHENS, Greece, Nov. "a

c. LaskariS.
The appeal is addressed to THE
working class, to the peasants, to
the professionals, to the poor
business men, to all working people
and all democratic citizens"
The ruling classes, the bankers,
the financiers, the landlords and
their parties, which are struggling
among themselves, due to the deep
contradictions unwound by the in
tense economic crisis, and due to
the growth of the revolutionary
movement among the exploited, can
find no other way out than the
establishment Of a fascist regime.
The examples of the countries
where faScism has been set up, and
more expressly, the example of
Hitler Germany, Austria and Bull
garia are sufficiently typical as to
where fascism leads the working
class. Hunger, misery, war, the de-
priyation of all civil rights, which
have been won with sacrifices and
struggle, are the results Of fascismI

this address themselves to the

strike, in general marches of the
peasants on the cities!
Strength and victory lie with
us, the millions of toilers who will
hand in hand fight against the
forces Of reaction. For this reason
We are expressing our unshakable
conviction that having with us the
absolute majority Of the people of
Greece, we are justified in voicing

striving to bring TO our country the
