COMMUNISTS OF ITALY CALL FOR UNITED FRO But Bourgeois Radicals| Only Mumble Phrases ROME, Oct. 22.—The propo- sition made by the Communist Party of Italy to the bourgeois opposition against the Fascisti, demanding that a separate par- liament be established to fight the Fascisti tyranny, was turned down even tho constitutional liberals do not recognize the Fascisti parliament in which they refuse to participate. This so-called constitutional opposition is really the father of “Fascism tho it is not now at all pleased’ with its offspring. Be- fore Mussolini marched his black shirt bandits on Rome, these jabbering liberals were in power and while they imprison- ed the workers who had arms with which to defend them- selves, the Fascisti were given a free hand. Called Benito Names. This element formed a constitution- al opposition to Mussolini after the infamous assassination of, Matteotti. They denounced the fascist govern- ment as mercenary and called for the dissolution of the national militia. Of course Mussolini had the guns and refused to comply with the request. Instead he had his brigands take the oath of allegiance to the king and they were henceforth part of the regular army and not outlaws. The fascisti are continuing their at tacks on the workers, particularly on the workers of Molinella near Bologna. where the agricultural workers always had a very powerful co-operative movement, even controlling the rail- road. Murder In Daylight. The Argrarian trust of all Italy con- centratéd their attacks upon Molinella. During the last few days, the fascisti have committed murders in the streets in broad daylight. Ragazzia, leader of the fascisti and big land owner, killed a war cripple who was decorat- ed for gallantry in war and was a member of the fascisti. But because he criticised the murder of Matteotti he was marked for death. He was stabbed at night while sleep- ing and his murderer, Ragazzio, tho arrested for the crime, was almost immediately released and is now walk- | ing the*streets unmolested. This lat- est outrage has aroused the wrath of even some of the fascisti. Call For Action. Under these conditions, the Com- munist Party issued a manifesto call- ing on the fascisti opposition to form | @ separate parliament and fight the | black terror. “To isolate ourselves! and allow the fascisti cutthroats to spread murder thruout the land is not the right way to fight Mussolini,” de- clares the Communist appeal. “We must join with other groups to make war off the fascist tyranny.” The} statement calls on the opposition parties to form a new government un- der the name of the workers and peas-| ants. Refused to Act. But the opposition refuses to join the Communist Party in this move. The constitutionalists will continue to} use constitutional methods, in a coun- try where the constitution’ is impaled on the bayonet of Mussolini.

THE DAILY WORKER SOVIET SPURNS RESERVATIONS IN PARIS NOTE |Demands Unconditional Recognition (Special to the DAILY WORKER.) PARIS, Oct. 22.—Paris has been ad- vised unofficially by Moscow that even tacit reservations concerning debts will not be tolerated by the Soviet gov- ernment in the French recognition for- mula. This is the cause of the delay in the official recognition of the Sov- iet require which was announced’ to take place last Friday. The formula arrived at by the com- mission which was appointed by Her- riot to pave the way for formal recog- nition, broke down Herriot’s original insistence on payment of the ¢zar’s debt to France before recognition. The growing strength of the Soviet government renders it increasingly difficult for the capitalist powers that have not already recognized the Work- ers’ Republic to secure favorable terms. France has gained nothing but lost much from following the advice of Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes of Washington in his Soyiet phobia.
