The Ratification Conferences will also be attended by representatives from fraternal organizations, includ- ing Hungarian, Jewish, Italian, Czecho-Slovakian, Ukrainian, Fin- nish. | ) At a meeting of the secretaries of Lithuanian fraternal organiza-| ions it was decided to visit every | ‘workers’ organization and appeal for endorsement of the Communist ticket. Hungarian organizations are re-| sponding enthusiastically to the call for the conference. The left wing Jewish Workmen’s Circle branches, | many of whose members are needle | and food workers who have experi- | enced the brutality of the strike- breaking Tammany machine and the; treachery of the socialist labor fak- (9 @s, are already electing their dele-| gates. The Ratification Congress will lay the basis for an intensified camp- aign in Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn, which will include the or- ganization of mass meetings, out-| door political demonstrations and| the broad distribution: of leaflets. Workers in shops and factories, | workers in fraternal organizations in all languages are urged by the Party to elect their delegates to the Communist Ratification Confer- | ences.

That agreement calls for German { sacrifice of some of the surplus made | up of the difference between the Dawes plan payments between April land September of this year and the oung plan payments for the same riod. The new German imperialism, with | which Britain, France and the United | States are trying to strike bargains to cement useful blocs for the next war, is hit financially at four points. It is asked to giveup a share of the 300,000,000 marks surplus it gained from the substitution of the Dawes plan by the Young plan and to pay | cost of the Rhineland occupation after Sept. 1. German industrialists are also obliged under the Snowden | vietory to give up about 80,000,000 | m accumulated interest on Ger- | man railway bonds held as security | for German payments, and tu give an unconditional annuity payment of 40,000,000 marks for 20 years in re- turn for a reduction during the last 17 of the plan’s operation. Thus Snowden could afford to ride from last night’s parley whistling gaily, since by gaining the 80 per cent demands he had pushed British imperialist prestige several rungs up the ladder. At the same time he had secured an Italian agreement that the fascist state railways buy 1,000,000 tons of coal annually from, Britain for the next three years at’ high export prices. The labor goy- ernment will by this plan be enabled complete the rationalization pro- | in the coalfields.

L. D. lawyer, who secured the discharge for one of the workers, Mohammed Alli. The I. L.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug, 28, — The imperialist propagandist Lindbergh, the finish of two derbies, and a wo- men’s speed race filled the fourth day’s program of the national air show here today. The sky was black with planes which will be used against the workers in the boss war now brewing — bombing planes, led by Wall Street’s “lone eagle,” in war maneuvers, gliders floating about, three blimps hanging in the sky, derbyists arriving from Port- land, Ore., and Miami, The show is a publicity ‘stunt for shooting the workers full of “patriotic” blowzi- ness prior to sending them out to be shot full of lead.

Lecture WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Aug. 28.—British fears that the Dominion | of Canada gravitates towards United States in economic and political re- |lations rather than with Britain were | expressed today by Professor Andre | Siegfried, economist of the French | Foreign Office, before members of | the Institute of Politics at Williams College here. “The Canadian point of foreign politics is likely to be more Ameri can in its inspiration than British. Siegfried said. fairs tends to attract the center of | gravity of the British Empire away from the British Isles,” he added. That Britain is aware of the truth of many of the professor’s remarks is indicated by the number of em- pire representatives just now tzy-| ing to convince Canada of the “ad- vantages” of imperial connection. Imperialist spokesmen include Wins- ton Churchill, J, H. Thomas and Sir Horace Wilson, mediator of the la- bor government which tricked the 500,000 Lancashire textile workers into low wages through “arbitra- tion.” Churchill, Thomas and Wilson are opposed by American “penetrators” in Canada and by the Dominion’s growing »ative ruling class which is fighting both its American and | Britich rivals.
