Present status of the different imperialist powers and their colo- nies which resulted from the last war is embodied in the Versailles and its sister treaties. A demand for the revision of these treaties means a demand for the redivision of the world, which can never be achieved by peaceful means and will speedily lead to a new imperialist ; Mussolini declared at Florence that the Italian bourgeoisie “came back from Versailles with a mutilated | victory.” The chief of Italian fas- ' cism has now openly and definitely voiced the demand for the revision | of the Versailles treaty in an inter- | view printed in “Le Petit Parisien” ) Thursday. “There must be a serious and sin- | Brooklyn, N.

But this is not all. , Since the last imperialist war which brought about a redivision of the capitalist world, this is the first time that a “victor” in the last war war. France, of course, is particularly concerned with Mussolini’s state- ment because Italian fascism is after French colonies in Africa, in- cluding French Tunisia, as the Paris paper “L’Intransigeant” has frankly } admitted. Leland Stowe, the Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune, also has observed that “the French appear determined to pre- vent revision of the treaty by the whole force of their diplomatic strength, inasmuch as, in their opinion, such revision of the Euro- pean map would open the door to another war.” It seems as if France and Italy will soon repeat the story of Austria and Serbia in 1914, and light the flame of the coming imperialist | skilled workers of the factory were getting formerly as much as 60¢ an hour. Now even the highest skilled mechanics get no more than 65c.

Thousands of workers attended the meeting although the local po-' lice had torn down the placards an- nouncing the meeting. In his speech, which was listened to in intense silence, continually broken by roars of applause, Com- rade Thaelmann analyzed the situ- ation of world capitalism, and com- pared the stagnation and decompo- | sition Sf the capitalist economic sys- with its reactionary policy and its murderous acts. He also showed how the pseudo-resistance to fascism put up by the left wing social democrats actually paved the way for fascism and was calculated to lull the work- ers into a false sense of security. The conclusion of Thaelmann’s speech was greeted with roars of ap- plause and afterwards a procession of several thousand workers march- ed through the streets of Plauen making propaganda for the Commu- tem with the tremendous progress being made in the socialist construc- habitants in Germany on May 31. 81 last was 315,000.

S. A. has, as one of “the fundamental prob- lems, to convert the Daily Worker into an actual militant mass news- paper which will be the builder of \} the Party and an organizer of the |” masses.” All these tasks, however, were | already contained in the decisions { of the Seventh Convention of the | Communist Party of the U. S. A. held two weeks ago, and at that time given to the capitalist press of New York, which did not, how- “ever, wish to publish them. Whe reason they did not publish the Party decisions then, but now play up the opinions harmonious to those decisions expressed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is that the capitalist press wants to give their distorted view of the relations between the Com- munist Party in the United States and its brother Party in the Soviet Union. They deliberately try to distort the fraternal relations into the view that all decisions of the Communists of the United States are “dictated by Moscow,” and so on. Obviously, this is done to lay the basis for a campaign of the bosses to suppress the Communist Party in America, an aim in which the from Communism, of both the Lovestone and Trotskyite brand, help the bosses with their poisonous nonsense in agreement with the capitalist press.

WORKERS FORCOMMUNISM Convention Ratifies Party Platform WATERBURY, Conn., July 6.— The Connecticut State Ratification Convention of the Communist Party was held here today with great suc- cess, Seventy-five delegates were present, representing forty-five or- ganizations of the working class. The delegates included thirteen Negro workers and twelve women workers. Resolutions were adopted endors- ing the election platform of the Communist Party and its candidates. in support of the Daily Worker, and a resolution demanding the release of all class war prisoners.

Several humorous incidents de-| veloped. Detective Sergeant Walter | Moran, in plain clothes, rushed into the crowd to slug a worker, and| was mistaken by another policeman for a worker himself. The police- man knocked Moran cold with a} blow from the butt of a revolver. The Civil Liberties Union had talked nicely to cops and had been given and transferred ' assurance that no police attack or beating up of workers would take place. When the brutal slugging began, Frank Palmer, its local representative, | rushed in with hands r d and demanded peace.

Communist Representative. C. Hathaway, of the central com- mittee of the Communist Party, ad- dressed the convention in the name of the Party, extending greetings and stating the Communist policy. A series of conferences of the un- employed by industries was held dur- ing the main convention, at which the problems of uniting the struggle of the jobless and the workers still at work was gone into in detail and plans made. On the executive committee of 38 chosen by the convention to direct the work between conventions, there were eight Negroes. The rest are all rank and file workers, regularly working in the shops as long as there is any work for them. Bill Matheson was elected secretary of the council. Immediately after the convention adjourned last night, the | executive committee went into ses- sion. An executive resident bureau of nine to be constantly on the job was picked. Prisoners Released. During the sessions those arrest- ed in the demonstration Friday were released and came into the conven- tion. It was found that many of them had been beaten up severely after arrest. Among these was the first speaker (and only speaker be- cause of the police attack) at Union Park, Joe Dallet, an organizer of the Metal Workers’ Industrial League. Dallet and others were so severely injured as to require treat- ment at the county hospital. Dele- League and complete subordination of the workers to the authority of the fascist leaders of the A. F. of L. While the Lovestonites reject the fraternal revolutionary guidance of “Moscow,” they swallow the, dic- tation of the fascist leaders of the A. F, of L., Bill Green, Woll & Co., without batting an eye. Any fascist, any boss, any enemy of the work- ers, would give the same identical advice to the American workers. The Communist Party of the U. S. A. rejects and fights against the fascist bureaucracy of the A. F. of L. and all other enemies of the American workers. And it wel- comes the guidance of the Com- munist International as the true revolutionary leadership of the world’s workers, and gives due at- tention to the opinjons of its strong- est section, the Communist ‘Party of the Soviet Unio “Always Ready” says the sign carried by the Young Pioneers of America, working-class children, marching in the Gonzalez funerat parade om July 4.
