French Govt Called
Thieves, ASSaSSinS
by Angry PariSianS
In dignation Growing
Over Colossal
Swindle

PARIS, Jan. 10.-Shouting Down
with the thievesl" Down with the as
sasSins!" thousands of workers and
small investors, robbed of their saw
ings in the colossal Credit Municipal
Bayonne swindle, demonstrated
against the government yesterday af-
ternoon, blocking all traffic around
the Chamber of Deputies, and bat
thing mounted police who charged
their ranks.
Popular indignation against the
government, many Of whose officials
are implicated in the Swindle, was
further famed by the police murder
Of Serge Stavisky, fugitive head of
the bankrupt bank, to prevent him
revealing additional names of high
government officials who protected
him, despite his well-known criminal
record, and profited by his gigantic
Fleeing Of the public. The various
and conflicting official verdictS Of his
death have served only to add to the
mass Indignation. Practically the en-
tire press scouts the police suicide
theory, while the Communist news
paper L'Humanite" openly charges
the government and its secret police
with numbering Stavisky to save the
government from further embarrass-
tnent.
The Chautemps Cabinet, which is
lettering under the furious indigna-
ton evoked by the scandal, has sacri-
feed Delimier, who resigned two days
ago under pressure of Premier Chau-
temps, and is now attempting to
whitewash the affair by fake inves-
tigation. A hurried official autopsy
into the death Of Stavisky has re-
turned verdict Of suicide, in an at
tempt to allay the mass indignation
The scandal will be debated in the
Chamber Of Deputies tomorrow, when
the Socialist leaders, who supported
the ChautempS government in its re-
cent wage cuts against the civil en-
ployees, will face the embarrassing
question Of deciding whether to con-
tinue support of the Chautemps Min
istry in the face of the widespread
mass indignation.

Workers Honor Memory of Murdered Julio MelIa

This demagogic attempt is APP

Cuban papers and magazines-par-
ticularly the latter-are capitalizing
on the deathless popularity of Mella.
His pictures appear in several COL
umns on the pages of many of these
papers and magazines, thanked by
glowing and shallow and hypocritical
eulogies which skillfully avoid all
mention of the real significance Of
Mella's life and death. Schools,
bridges, nurseries-theSe are being
named after the murdered Commu-
mist leader, as a result of the press
ure of the upsurge of the masses Of
Cuba during the past few months.
These masses-the proletariat, the
peasantry and the anti-imperialist
masses of all the Caribbean coun-
tries and the United States are
concentrating Julio Mellas death.
The murder of Mella was planned
by Machado and Trujillo, chief Of
the secret poice CT Havana. The
lawyer Amaral and the Cuban am
baSsador to Mexico, Mascara, pre-
pared the crime in Mexico. Mar
grinat, recommended by Mario G.
Menoccal to Machado), M. Lopez Va

army, were those who perpetrated
the crime with the support of Val
entin Quintana, the chief of the Sc
cret police of Mexico, and the gov
eminent of Portes Gil of the rev

the crime.
Mella began his revolutionary
career, taking the leadership in the
occupation of the University during
the student movement in 1923. Thi;
movement led to the organization Of
the National Federation of Students
and the establishment of the univer-
sity autonomy in which students
professors, etc, were to administer
the university.
These were the first steps of Mells
in the revolutionary movement. I'm.
