SADOUL, SOVIET CITIZEN, PLACED UNDER ARREST French Seize Captain Who Became Red (Special to The Dally Worker) PARIS, Dec. 4.—Jacques Sa- doul, one of the most prominent of French Communists, was ar- rested at his hotel here at noon yesterday. He is under sentence of death by a French military court which tried him for trea- son while he was absent in Soviet Russia. Comrade Sadoul was a cap- tain in the French army during the world war, and was as- signed by the French army as military attache to the French mission to Russia during the Kerensky regime after serving actively on the western front. Renounced Career for Bolshevism. When the Bolsheviks overthrew Kerensky, Sadoul, already a convert to the social theories of Henri Bar- Busse, the initiator of the. “Clarte” Movement of intellectual radicalism, laid aside his captaincy in the French army, his position of military attache and cast in his lot with the ragged and starving workers of Russia in their fight for life and power. Sadoul put aside his French citizen- ship, became a naturalized citizen of the Soviet republic, and later an offi- cial of the Soviet government. This angered the government of France, then under Ciemencean, which both then and since has: béen the bitter- est enemy of the Soviet government on the continent. Condenined to Death. Captain Sadoul was cited, in his ab- sence, for trial by court martial for treason. While he was still in Soviet Russia the army court in France con demned him to death for desertion on November 8, 1919. One of the chief political slogans aroufid which the French Communis' Party is rallying the masses in a unit- ed front to expose the capitalist na- ture of the Herriot “radical socialist party and government, is the demand for amnesty for political offenders The arrest of Sadow! will stimulate this campaign to an immense degree as Sadoul has become a heroic figure before the French proletariat. Growth of French Communism. By the united front for amnesty and @ similar fight against the high cost of living and, during the Ruhr inva- sion, against militarism and the oc cupation, the French Communist Par- ty has won leadership over consider- able numbers of workers and pea- sants. The united front on the politi- cal fleld with the socialist party un- der a slogan of “A workers’ and pea- sants’ bloc” added considerably to its prestige. How frightened are the bourgeoisie by the growth of the Communist Par. ty may be seen by the declaration of | Cardinal Dubois appealing to French ratholics to fight the Communist “dan- ger.” In the official catholic organ, the Semaine Religieuse, he writes: Cardinal Gets Excited. “The hour is grave, today; tomorrow, perhaps, will be too late. God protect France:” <te cites the 60,000 workers of Paris who turn- ed out to commemorate the death of Lenin, and the demonstration attend- ing the transfer to the Pantheon of the ashes of Jean Javres, the anti war rc cialist assassinated, presumably by the order of Poincare, at the out- break of the world war. ‘The excit- able cardinal continued: “There was a Communist compact and disciplined. They num- bered 29,000, mobilized under the Shadow of a multitude of red flags stamped with the hammer and the sickle of the Soviets. They advanced to the sound of the ‘International’ Shouting cries of disorder and vio- lence. It was a fearful revelation.” It is reported that Leonid Krassin, the first ambassador of the Soviet gov- ernment, who arrived only the day before Sadoul's arrest, is asking in structions from Moscow to prepare ; protest against the imprisonment of Sadoul who is now a citizen of Sovie Russia, Brazil’s Jab at Tokio Echo of U.

BUSINESS GOES IN FOR YOUTH CONTAMINATION HoldMeeting forUnited Front in ‘Boys’ Work’ Two hundred fat bellied busi- ness men who are “molding the minds of the youth of Amer- ica” sat in the comfortable roof garden of the Sisson Hotel, along the south shore 6f Lake Michigan, and listened to Wil- liam Butcher praise the busi- ness men “who are sustaining us in our boys’ work.” Plea to Harness Youth Vision. The conference, called by the In- ternational Rotary Clubs, was for the purpose of “co-ordinating all boys’ work organizations into one council representing a united front.” At each session of the conference the stellar place on the program was given te a captain of industry. William Butcher, in making the closing ad- dress, declared with astounding frankness that “the business men are in boys’ work for the joy of service. and because it is good business.” Butcher chose as his text on boys’ work, “Who serves her truly some- times saves the state.” He showed that the hangers-on of the capitalists, even if their job of doing the dirty work for big business fs a hard one, keep down sentiments in our youth which are antagonistic to big busi- ness. “Let us summon the business mem with the hope that they will continue to counsel and sustain us,” Butcher shouted. It was obvious that the Ro- tary and Kiwanis Clubs and other business organizations engineered the entire conference. The Y. M. C. A, Boys’ Scouts, Y. M. H. A. Catholic and protestant religious boys’ organ- izations represented served as the trimmings for the conference. They agreed with whatever the Rotarians suggested. “Youth” Reasoning Must be Distorted. “The destiny of the world is in the hands of those shaping the minds of the rising generation,” Taylor Stat- ten, of Toronto, told the conference. Statten told how in Toronto every boy in the city ig, charted by th Rotary club, It is known just what his political views are, his economi¢ conditions, how much spare time he has, his salary, if employed, and the extent of his education. Statten put forward the recommendation that the onference take similar steps on a nation-wide scale. William Edwin Hall. of New Yort City, made one of the principal ad- dresses on “The Boy in Industry.’ Hall is president of the Land and Lake association, the Trojan Chemi- eal company, Trojan Securities cém- pany, Trojan Powder company, direc- tor of the Portland and Northern rail road company, Independent Non- Freezing Powder company, Portland Lumber company, Kaul and Hall Lum- ber company, and twenty-three banks, railroads, public utility and ammunt- tions companies. He was a war Profiteer, and is one of the principal financial supporters of the boys’ work movement thruout the country, espe- cially the military boys’ organizations. It was admitted by the conference leaders that the captains of industry made the boys’ work conference pos- sible financially.

The place it econ- omizes is in the governmental functions that would be of some little benefit to the mothers and the children of the working class. This is especially true of the working class mothers and children who have been forced into industry. The school teacher will not tell this to the children because she knows nothing about it.
