The resolution, which pledges the support of the Finnish Work- ers’ Clubs to The DAILY WORKER, reads as follows: This convention is fully aware that all efforts to build the Communist movement in America amongst English-speaking people would be in vain without a daily organ in the English language. We realize that to bring in and to preserve the cl. movement of thousands of Finnish-American youths in middle states is an impossibilty without a daily organ in English, and therefore, to our regret, our life- tong work for the revolutionary movement would be in vain, We also realize that the publishing of a daily paper In a big city with a small circulation and without advertisement revenue is too big of a burden for the small group of English-speaking workers who at present are in the Communist movement. Therefore, this convention calls upon Finnish workers to rally their forces to assist The DAILY WORKER and ask that all Finnish workers’ societies and clubs would energetically support The DAILY WORKER in its present financial campaign. We ask them to donate money from their treasuries, arrange entertainments and make collections, etc. and there- by demonstrate that we are willing to bear our share in the work of bulld- ing up an active Communist movement in America. At the same time as we, ask Finnish workers’ clubs to rally around the present financial campaign of The DAILY WORKER, we particularly emphasize the fact; that The DAILY WORKER’S financial position in the future can be best safeguarded and best guaranteed by enlarging the circulation of The DAILY WORKER and its literature and by so doing, we can guarantee The DAILY WORKER without special appeals. Let us therefore adopt the slogan: 25,000 Subscribers for The DAILY WORKER During the Year 1927. Let us make The DAILY WORKER'S elrculation work in all workers’ clubs an honorary duty and make sure. of that by Selecting comrades who know the English language, for that work, Long live The DAILY WORKER! Long live the Communist movement of America! Long live the workers’ and farmers’ government! This resolution brings out strongly what The DAILY WORKER means to all revolutionary workers.

BRITISH GAPITALISTS WILL HELP FRANCE IF FRANC IS STABILIZED (Special to The Dally Worker) PARIS, Nov. 21.—What care- fully announced as a “courtesy visit of Reginald McKenna, former British chancellor of the exchequer, and now one of the largest bankers of the United Kingdom, to Premier Poincaire has given rise to reliable reports that Great Britain bankers are planning help to France in Its present financial predicament. No indication as to what form the help will take is given, but it is sur mised that it will be a loan to the French government. it Is also highly Probable that McKenna sdcealae with Poincalre the known d British capitalists to invest hi nie in French industries, Help from the bankers, however, Is contingent on Pi aire’s ability to stabilize the franc. When questioned on the visit, Poincaire stubbornly insisted it was merely “friendly” and had no sig- nificance, but he later admitted t! France's finances were “discussed.

Cotzo- fanesti lay to the rear of the Rou- |manian army and served as the head- {quarters of the staff, and of the war correspondents. It also held a clear- ing station for the wounded. Queen Marie of Roumania, her two | daughters, Elizabeth and Maria, and a number of ladies of the court, | were “sacrificing” themselves on | the altar of patriotism and tending the wounded. They devoted day and night to their work of mercy, particularly the night, and many wonderful stories of their devotion officers of the General Staff played no mean part.... One night it came to pass that a | wounded soldier who had been brought in, suffered a sudden hemorrhage. The sergenat-major who was on duty im- mediately sent for a doctor who should also have been on duty. The doctor, however, was not to be fount. The messenger was a gypsy with three |years service.
