It is also announced here that the Inter-Allied High Commission, the administration body of the occupied zone, will move to Wiesbaden from Coblenz, after the British troops go. This is apparently, and is accept- ed here, as illustrating the growing antagonism between British and French imperialism; the British making a gesture to win German support, while the French take the opposite alternative, “firm” policies.

R., Sept. 16— The executive committee of the In- ternational Red Aid has issued an appeal against the barbarities of the Jugo-Slav military fascist die- tatorship, declaring that the mili- tarists no longer mask with the farce of “justice,” their intention to annihiliate revolutionary elements, but are resorting to outright mur- der. Killing of workers’ leaders is going on systematically in public places, on the streets, and even the victims’ homes. Ten thousand workers are im- prisoned, and 16 workers have been murederd recently. The I. R.

After such a long time of taking it easy it is rather impos-| sible for him to go back to work) and use his tools, What does his statement of “or-| ganizing the helpers mean? Does he intend to do so? He does not. Why not? Because he had his chance in 1927 when the Plumbers Helpers organized in the American Associ- | ation of Plumbers Helpers, de-| manded admission to the plumbers.
