PATTERN 2oss

When a busy housewife finds a
frock as pretty and as simple to
make up as the one illustrated,
she'll make several of them in diff
ferent colors-that is, she will IL
she's very clever. There are only
three pieces to the body of this
dress, the back, the yoke-cut ir
one with the sleeveS-and the front.
Cut them out, sew them up, add
the slimming half belt which ties
into a perky little bow at the back,
and the smart patch pockets, whip
frills onto the sleeves and the peck
cts or omit them altogether-and In
less than the time it takes to tell
about it you'll have one Of the dain-
test house frocks you've seen in a
long, long time!
Pattern 2083 is available In sizes
IA, 16, IS, 20, 80, "a, SO, 3S, 40, AZ

charging city employees Of New

COMMUNISTS
DENY
! FROk SOVIET
Reds Adopt Policy Of
Dealing With World
Rather Than With
Section Problems

MOSCOW, Aug. 2.-R-The Sew
enth Communistic Internationale
adopted Friday the principle Of
non-interference I'm domestic af-
fairs OF individual, national COM
munist parties-a step calculated
TO remove O r spots in information
81 relations caused by a suspicion
that communist activities are di-
rected from Moscow.
The congress adopted a resolu-
ton directing the executive COM
mittee TO observe this policy as a
rule and to concentrate its atten-
ton on questions OF the world
workers movement as a whole.
The experience gained by the
world movement should be placed
at the disposal of individual COM
munist parties, the resolution said,
but arbitrary transfer OF exper-
fence from n country TO another
should be avoided.
The resolution said the main
task at the moment was to create
u united front OF working classes
OF all countries to fight faSciSm and
war.
The congress approved an appeal
TO the second, or Amsterdam In
ternatiOnale, TO join the movement
and ordered removal of bars with
in the communist party to reap
prochement with social democratic
workers.
The adoption OF the non-inter-
ference principle was regarded in
foreign circles here As a develop
ment of major Importance. con-
siderably easing the concern over
the program Of action which the
congress will formulate, perhaps
next week.
In some quarters, IL had been
feared that the Comintern would
attempt to dictate the action indi-
Vdual parties were to take in
purely domestic affairs.
The recent speech Of Sam Darcy
OF San Francisco, United States
| delegate, in which he predicted new
htrlkeS of longshoremen or the Pa
Ycific Coast, brought the matter to
"a head. particularly in reference
TO America.
Darcy'S suggestion that the Co
mintern organize international sup
port for American longshoremen
has been under careful study by
the United States embassy which.
however, has been awaiting fur
ther developments. Thus far it has
taken nc step In the way Of pro-
test.
The communist parties OF all ma
tions were called Friday to join in
q defense or the democratic system
OF government. wherever menaced
by ~faSciSnS under a resolution
adopted BY the Comintern unter-
nationally assembly.
The resolution was passed Thurs
day night, following recommended
tons by William PECK, German
member OF the executive committee.
who told the communist congress a
defensive war on behalf Of demo-
cracy would be a fair war In which
communists should participate.
