ways and means to carry on the strug-
gle. It was q lovely trrterlude in the
hymn Of hate which swept the land.
Theirs was a wonderful partnership,
and the picture Of those two alone
upon the sands Is one which none can
ever forget. Not even their triumphal
entry into Brussels could mean as
much as those evenings at La Panne.
I was In Brussels to see the great
return Of the royal family from exile.
The Belgian capital never will witness
the like Of that again.
They came back to their own on
November %, just after the armistice.
The whole land was en- fete, and
some half a million loyal subjects
from the countryside had trekked into
Brussels in their Sunday best to swell
the population Of the city.
All through the night of November
81 long lines of aged men and women,
youths and maidens, and little chill
dren, had danced arm in arm
through the streets in hysterical Joy.
They made their music with penny
whistles, with druras and with paper
spread over combs.
The next day every tree along the
broad highways was filled with eager
people, the roofs were covered, the
windows were crowded, and the side
walks were q solid mass OF cheering
humanity.
The King and Queen came riding
through the city on horseback, with
their two little princes and small
princess following on ponies. Prob
ably no royal family ever received
such an ovation as was rendered by
the Belgian people, who had not seen
their rules for four long years.
Side by side and close together the
royal couple rode to their triumph,
just as side by side they had paced
the beach at La Panne during their
hours Of trial.
And Sunday, dispatches from Brus-
sells told of how the Queen, when her
husbands body was laid before her,
flung herself upon it, weeping.

Belgium Has Had
Only Three Kings
In Her lO3 Years

Only three Kings have ruled
Belgium since she won her in
dependence 103 years ago. Leo
pold III will be the fourth.
In 1880 the Belgians revolted
against the King of the Neither
lands, under whose rule they had
been placed earlier in the century.
The revolt was a success and the
powers, comforting in London in
1881, decided that Belgium
should be a neutral, Independent
state forever.
Leopold I, then a German
prince of -Coburg, was made
King. He died in 1865 and his
son became Leopold II and
reigned for 43 years.
Leopold II had no son, so on
his death in 1900 the throne
passed to his nephew, Albert I,
who became the "hero King"
during the dark days of Belgium's
martyrdom.

small children lying on the bed.
Your denial-without investiga-
tion-of this bestiaf assault can only
mean that you are once again as
surfing the vigilantes of immunity

Further we find that you have
not taken one step to arrest the
vigilantes who visited the chain

who burned fiery cross, admitted
the attack on Solorzano, and who,
with knout and hangman's moose,
threatened death to Stanley Han

I'VE have learned of your inhu-
man mistreatment of Dorothy Ray,

in the County Jail at El Centre for

holding them in a sitting tank

oing America Demands Jobless and Social Insurance

mites of the AA.A. crop-reduction
program and the drought, should
adopt resolutions and take actions
for unemployment insurance.
There should be meetings, DEM
onstrations and sympathetic strikes
in order to exert pressure on the
Roosevelt government for the pas
sage of unemployment insurance.
There must be systematic actions in
every community, in every state.
The election campaign must be
used extensively, and every can
didate must be asked: What is
your opinion about unemployment
insurance? Every candidate who
promises 30 work for this bill
must be forced to prove it by TAX
ing an active part in mass demOp-
STATIONS. We must not permit the
acceptance of vote catching prom
ises.
Mass mobilization Of toiling
America for the passage of unem-
ployment insurance in Congress
this winter-this must be one of
the main slogans of the American
working class. The fight for the
right to belong to a union of our
own choice and for better working
conditions is intimately bound up
with the fight for unemployment
insurance.
We Communists have done our
duty in proposing unemployment
insurance. We continue in our
duty in tireleSsIy organizing the
masses for the passage of the
Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill. In this struggle we are
ready to fight together with any,
one who really wants unempIOy-
ment Insurance, be he supporter
of capitalist democracy, social
list, a leader of the A. F. of L., or
man who believes in God. We do
not inquire about his political and
religious opinions. We do not Ask
whether he is for or against revo-
luton. We ask only one thing:
Are you seriously fighting for un-
employment insurance and are
you ready for practical arrange
mentS to mobilize the masses for
the passage of unemployment in
surance during this coming Win
ter?
The wider the front, the more
united the front is in this matter,
the easier it will be to attain VIC
tory, the easier it will be to over
come all resistance and to compel
the politicians and demagogues to
give to the people what belongs to
them.
If we succeed-and we must sue
ceed-in arousing the millions and
millions of toilers at the opening
of Congress; when in every town
and village, from every home, from
every meeting of working men,
there comes forth the battle cry:
Congress, we demand unemploy-
ment insurance; when the iron
front of toiling America is formed
and millions of working hands lift
themselves as one iron fist-then,
and only then, will Congress sur
render to the pressure of the masses.
Organize this mass front! There
is an immense work to be done.
But there is also abroad among
the toilers of America sound
fighting spirit. Our task is now to
mobilize the workers of America
with a will against the bankers
and industrial barons who let toll
ing America rot in unemploy-
ment!
