To establish the democratic- Jictatorship of the proletariat and she peasantry. 8. To secure complete national independence and national unity. 4, To nationalize the large en- ‘erprises (industrial, _ transport, yanking and others) belonging to the imperialists, 5.

Colonial revolutions and move- nents for national emancipation are of enormous significance from the standpoint of the struggle against mperialism and of the conquest of ower by the working class. Colo- iies and semi-colonies are of im- yortance in the transitional period ilso for the reason that they repre- ‘ent the world rural dgstricts in re- ation to the indust#al countries, which are the world gowns, and that ‘he problem of orgs nizing socialist world economy is the probiem of ‘elation towards the former colo- iies of imperialism. Consequently the establishment of a fraternal nilitant alliance with the toiling nasses of the colonies is one of the orincipal tasks to be carried out by ‘he world industrial proletariat. Thus, in rousing the workers in she home countries for the struggle for the dictatorship of the prole- variat, the progress of the world revolution simultaneously _rouses oundreds of millions of colonial workers and peasants to the fight against foreign imperialism. In view of the existence of - socialist senters represented by Soviet Re- publics of increasing economic power the colonies which break away from bmperialism economically gravitate and gradually combine with the in- justrial centers of world socialism, are drawn into the groove of so- Nalist construction, thus -avoiding the capitalist phase of development as the predominating system and obtain opportunities for rapid econ- 2mie and cultural development. The peasant Soviets in the backward ex- solonies and the Soviets of workers and peasants in the more developed type of ex-colony ‘group’ themse’ves politically around the centers of }_o- letarian dictatorship and join th general system of the growing fec- \sration of Soviet Republics and con- sequently the system of the world proletarian dictatorship. The development of socialism as the new method of production ob tains world-wide scope. (To be continued) ~ JAILS BROTHER FOR PICKETING Fes Sazer, who yesterday de- clared that he intends to picket the Truefood Restaurant, owned by his brother, as a demonstration of sym- pathy to the workers on strike there, was arrested yesterday while march- ing before the place, together with the two union pickets usually per- mitted by the police. In spite of being previously in- formed of the fact that the police would permit no mote than two pickets, Sazer nevertheless deter- mined to join the line. Is Arrested A huge crowd gathered in’ the Times Square section where the res- taurant is situated. It watched Sa- zer as he patrolled the place car- rying large signs denouncing his brother and calling for a boycott on the anti-labor place, Several policemen at first tried to intimidate Sazer, but he insisted on his right to picket the place, dis- avowing any direct connections with the Waiters’ and Waitresses’ Union. He nevertheless maintained his own right to picket-in sympathy with the strikers, police decided to errest him, Pose As Labor’s Friends The strike against this firm, the members of which made their money through the patronage of labor sym- pathizers, pose as semi-radicals, ac- cording to Saz r’s statement. They own three restaurants, all of which are on strike. They are located at 158 W, 44th St., 110 W. 40th St., and 522 Seventh Ave, The strike is now in. the third week. SENTENCE BANKERS FOR FRAUD.

In prosecuting the drive the Joint Board had thrown out the slogan to all workers in the trade to fight their bosses for the July raises. The two shops in which the wor- keys struck are Bloom and Gerber, 144 W. 27th St., and Brownstein and Wollin, 330 Seventh Ave. Seven workers. in. the former fac- tory and one of the leading mem- bers of the Joint Board, Irving Pot- | ash, were arrested yesterday mern- ing by detectives of the industrial squad who were called to-the-bosses’ | rescue by a right wing hireling of the Joint Council, Sam Weiner. The events leading up to the ar- rests were rélated as follows: The workers of Bloom and Gerber’s shop were telling Potash that they had decided to send a committee to their employer, who is a member of the board of directors of the Associated, | and demand from him a wage raise for the entire shop. Weiner, a right | wing agent in the factory heard this and immediately ran to call up the } police. By this time the workers had received the bosses’ reply that no raise would be granted and were already picketing the shop, when the police squad arrived and liter- ally forced them back into the shop. Those arrested were later haled before Magistrate Norris in the Jefferson Market Court. Potash and another worker who prefers his name not mentioned, were fined five dollars each, while the others were dismissed. Cheers Up Boss - The workers of the shop of Brownstein and Wollin declared a strike when they were refused a wage raise, and declared their de- termination to picket the place till the bosses give in. Later in the day the entire office force of business agents of the Joint Council came to Bloom and Gerber and assured them before the workers in the shop that they would not permit the workers to ask for any more raise or any other im- provement in working standards, SMITH IN PLEDGE TO BIG BUSINESS Pick Morgan Bankers to Lead Drive Governor Alfred E. Smith, in an inter-iew given out to the press yesterday, boldly declared that the campaign of which he is to take personal direction will be based. upon a determined effort to win the support of the big business inter- ests of the country $n conformity with this plan the Tammany leader announced his choice of John J.

Y., July 11. the children that were registered for the first two weeks at the Work- |rived safely on Monday: afternoon at their camp grounds at Wingdale, N. Y. An enthusiastic reception was given them by the campers and workers of the Unity Co-operative camp. When the children arrived in two big busses they were received with banners, cheers and songs. The workers left their jobs and the campers came out of their resting places or the cool water to join in the reception. Long before the chil- dren arrived they were waiting pa- tiently in the hot afternoon sun along the road which the busses had to pass. The construction workers carried a flag greeting the children of the Workers International Relief camp. Other banners read “The Work- ers Child for the Working Class,” etc. When the children stepped out of the busses everyone sang the In- ternational ‘FIWANCE CAPITAL MODIFIES POLICY Also Speeds Drive on| Workers’ Wages By JOHN L. SHERMAN Informed circles ‘here are viewing considerable doubt the an- eral Reserve Bank has increased its rediscount rate from 4 1/2 to § per cent primarily as a further curb'on the speculative wave which has flowed over the country particu- larly on the New York stock market. It is admitted here that the at- tempt to decrease brokers’ loans, which form the basis for specula- | tion in securities may be one of the | factors in the present policy of the Federal Reserve Bank. out, however, that previous to this month these loans had decreased by nearly a half billion from an earlier peak. The reason for the present | policy must ‘be looked for in another | direction, it is stated. Aimed At “Prosperity” The policy of the Federal Reserve | Bank which for over four years has been to maintain “easy money,” was motivated, it is declared. by the de- | sire to maintain “prosperity.” Easy | money, free credit, extension of in- stallment buying, these it was be- lieved would tend to maintain the | upward trend of business. The general aim, it is understood, is to restrict credit, force down prices and hence wages and thus | “solve” the critical price question | at the expense of the working class. | This is the meaning of the increased discount rates. Other reserve banks will follow the lead of the Chicago | branch which in the past has been | the first to pyt into operation any changes.
