The second Painleve cabinet has gone the way-of the first. | On October 28 the cabinet was forced out because of the failure of Caillaux, the finatice ‘minister, to stabilize the franc. with the aid of American banking capital. The reorganized cabinet left Caillaux, the much touted finance wizard, out. '. But the financial and économie situation in Pane could not be stabilized by the ‘mere change of a cabinet. Technicattly the sec- ond Painleve cabinet ‘inet defeat on its financial program. Actually its fall has far grédter political significance than the mere repudia- tion of the tax program. In the final voting’ that resulted in the resignation of the cabinet. the votes of the 26 Communist deputies were decisive. The European and American press stands bewildered before this fact. The chamber of deputies, after thevote that sent Painleve to the president with the resignation of tris eabinet, was in turmoil, with the socialists hurling maledictidns at the Communists because they voted against ‘the. government. Charges were made that the Communists voted ~ with the right and against the left bourgeois parties, the most power- ful of which is the radical socialists under the leadership of ex- Premier Herriot. The facts are they voted against the government, not.with any other group. Without the participation of the Communists the government had a majority. Realizing that their votes would block the government the Communists threw their votes against the government. The fact that the right bourgeois parties also voted against Painleve in no way es- tablishes an identity of interests between the two extreme groups in ? the chamber. The right bourgeois parties want a voice in the gov- ! ernment; believing that thereby they can help guide the ship of state + thru the raging seas of European polities and defend their own economic group. The Communists want to block any effective bour- geois government and force new elections in France. There is no « group in the chamber of deputies that can maintain a government’| 1 against the others. Every failure of a cabinet brings nearer- the time * when the chamber will face dissolution and new elections will have 0 be held. \ | This offers an opportunity for the Communists to speak tothe emasses of France in the intensity of a political campaign: Then they *byill go before the workers and expose the shameful role of the so called socialists and the bourgeois parties of the left whose hands farip with the blood of the colonial peoples in’ Morocco and Syria. eThey will tear the veil of lies and slimy hypocrisy from the murder- fee faces of the socialists who were responsible for the butchering ser lett the helpless people of Damascus.

With the Riff and Syrian wars, the fail of thé Sane; thé Locarno pacts, the desperate efforts ‘to crawl before American bank capital, the imprisonment of the leaders of the working class, and many pressing local issues as campaign material the Comniunists will raise such a storm among the masses that the shabby pretenses of bowt geois democracy itself will tremble. An election campaign at this gritical time may set in motion the forces that eventually will ‘um HOLD THOUSANDS OF RED WORKERS Fake i Aenea Freed Only Fascisti By LEN DE CAUX. BERLIN—(FP)—A monster politi- eal trial began Nov. 16 in Leipsic of the former executive of the German Communist Party, More than 100 wit- nesses are to be called, 400 books and documents are to be used as evi- dence, and it is estimated the trial | will last three months. This trial fol- jlows that of 16 Berlin Communists, accused of treason in November, 1923. | This in“its turn followed the trial of |Maslow, kept 15 months in jail with- out a trial and then sentenced to 4 years imprisonment. According to a rough estimate Ger- many leads European countries in the number of its political prisoners, hav- ing 7,000 more than are imprisoned im Italy or Poland, which come next with 6,000 each. Jhe great majority jare Communists and other radical workers, most of the fascist element having benefited by Hindenburg’s amnesty. This loudly proclaimed am- nesty of political prisoners proved a very one-sided affair, as only those ar- rested before Oct. 1, 1923, have been released, and/then only those impris- oned for carefully selected offences. The result is that the reactionary Kapp putsch participahts are releas- ed, while the greater part of the work- ing class prisoners are left in jail. Trials following the October revolt in Hamburg have greatly increased the number of working class political prisoners. 500 workers sentenced al- together to,1000 years imprisonment is the estimate to date of the outcome of these Hamburg trials. | Jensen’s Record Is White Washed by | (Continued from page 1) tolerate ‘his presence now without a |gas mask.

When the chancellor made his en- trance into the reichstag this after- noon he was greeted with jeers by. the Communists, who shouted, “Here comes the representatives of Amer- ican big capital.” ZOLTAN WEINBERGER FACES EXECUTION IN HORTHY-RULEB HUNGARY af the maintenance men! ‘fhousands of) F whom are manning thé ‘pumps and |keeping the operators‘ property in| |good order while thef#!'brothers are |being starved out — the - union lerushed by the operatois.

L. Miller and company. Figures compiled by the bureau from official reports of the average paid-up membership in the seventeen building trades unions in the United States showed that they now have a membership of more than 864,000. This represents a gain in the last two years of approximately 44,617 new members, an increase of 5 per cent over their former membership. In the opinion of the bureau this places la- bor is a stronger position to oppose wage cuts. on Cc h Communists "43 Seats in Parliament Poll ate co(@ontinued from page Se now ‘has 22° The German-Hungarian social-dem- ocrats' ‘hdd ‘30 and now are reduced to 19) fret + ‘The® Getman-Hungarian agrarians hadf5/-new' have 23. ‘The?

The Soviet com- missars of the federation appoint an editor who is nominally in charge. The local managing editor decides what shall go into the paper, which has & circulation of 30,000 and goes through. * out Trans-Caucasia, It is the largest of the 11 papers published in Tiftis, “What do they put in your Amer- ican papers?” Editor Dagvodse asked jme. I told him, “Ours is very different,” he said. “We publish 6 or 8 pages each day. Two pages are devoted to internation- al news; one to Russia news; one page to general Trans-Caucasian news; one to local news and news concerning the life and doings of local workers. Party news, discussions and questions make up about a page.” ~~” The Dawn of the Hast accepts ads. But not to the exclusion of the news. This paper, the editor explains, is as much a part of the educational ma chinery of Trans-Caucasia as is a school. Each day it aims to put ideas before its readers. While it deals principally With Trans-Caucasia and the Near Bast, the most distant: parts of the world appear in its columns. Dagvodse, a Georgian, is more teacher than business man or editor, as they have developed in the United States. In his early/ thirties, quiet, direct, very much in earnest, he gives an impression of a man in a classroom with 30,000 pupils preparing and presenting some new lesson every day. Ships Used by White Guards Against Soviets Reclaimed by Russians BUCHAREST, Roumania, Nov. 23— A number of ships ‘that were stolen from the Soviets and used by the counter-revolutionists* against the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics have disappeared and their disappear- ance has been explained by saying that Russian sailors have signed up with a ship and ‘then after the ship was under sail, mutinied»and forced the ship. into Soviet: ports, Seize Petr Veliky. The Petr Veliky, one of the ships used by the Russian white guards un- der Wrangel against the Soviets, was recently sold by Wrangel to a Greek armament concern and after being re- christened the Emmos was sent to Costanza. At the mouth of the Bos- phorus, eight Russian, members of the crew, who had joined at Costanza, forced the captain and navigation of- ficers to change their course and sail into the port at'‘Sebastopol.
