The meeting was well utilized for organizational purposes. A large number of Daily Workers were sold, ten applications for Party member- ship were taken out and $5.68 was collected for the Daily Worker. Comrade Paul Cline, Daily Worker representative who is tour- ing the West; Martin Godfried of the Workers’ International Relief and Lou Seitlin of Denver were thi speakers. “The Economic Crisis and the Role of the Communist Party” was the subject ofa talk made by Com- rade Paul Cline, Daily Worker rep- resentative, at a well-attended meeting in’ the Denver Labor Ly- ceum. Questions and discussion followed the talk. Two workers joined the Communist Party. A collection for the Daily Worker was taken up and netted $37.01. Tuesday night Comrade Cline will speak before Local 340 of the Build- ing and Common Laborers’ Union of Denver on the question of the Economic Crisis and the Daily Worker. BRUENING CABINET IN DICTATORSHIP THREAT (Wireless By Inprecorr) BERLIN, June 26.—The Bruening cabinet decided to withdraw its pro- posals for covering the budget def- icit, substituting entirely new pro- posals, including an increase in the income tax by a two per cent levy on officials, and increased taxation or alcohol consumed at licensed premises. The cabinet is reported to be determined to carry through the new proposals with the dicta- torship paragraph of the constitu- tion if necessary. A Peoples Party ultimatum rejects the levy under ali circumstances, threatening to with- draw its member, Curtius, the For- eign Minister, from the cabinet. The new finance minister, the Democrat Dietrich adopted several socialist proposals in order to secure socialist support. The outlook is not clear. The Reichstag yesterday noon adopted a reactionary amnesty, re- | leasing all fascist Fehme murderers with a counterweight of only a few Communists. The amnesty will prob- ably be ineffective, however, as it was unable to get a two-thirds ma- jority. ¢ The Communist motion to remove the prohibition of the Red Front Fighters League was rejected by a} united front from the socialists to fascists.

Meanwhile capitalist news agen- cies report seven more Indian peas- ants shot down when the police fired into a crowd demanding inde- pendence, at Ellore, Madras presi- dency, southern India. Another seven are reported wounded by the police in Bombay, across the country from Madras. These were picketing shops where British cloth is sold. At Delhi, the capital of India, in the winter months, Hindus, Moham- medans and Sikhs cooperated in picketing. At Calcutta, when the police attacked a crowd, it retal- iated with a volley of stones, and two British police sergeants went to the hospital. The British-Indian cotton mar- | ket has collapsed. Sir John Simon, head of the now notorious Simon commission, made a radio speech Wednesday stating British imperialism was not going to get out of India, for a long time.
