Thaelmann said that only @ Uflited front of the French and German Workers could destroy the Treaty of Versailles ang prevent a qv imperialist war. “He showed that the leaders of the Second So- clalist International, Vandetvelde of Belgium, and Hermann Mueller of Germany, had signed the Versailles Treaty and were among its staunch- est défendets. He closed with the call of the Communist International “Workers of France and Germany, uhite!” ‘Thaélmanns speech was welcomed with storms of enthusiastic applause lasting for several minutes, with the workers standing on their seats and cheering, ending with the siging of the “International.” Despite the efforts of the French police, Thaelmann was able to speak to the workers of Paris. Despite the chauvinistic- foaming of the French and German capitalist press, the workers of France and Germany pyill join together to get rid of French German capitalists and establish @ workers’ rule in Western Europe. HOW SOCIALISTS DISARM “The German Social Democratic Party is proud of its prominent part in the development of the Reichswehr (Germany's professional army)”— Socialist Reichstag depuiy Schopflin in 1927, during the debate on the German budget in the Reichstag. “The pocket battleship is not re- f@rmament, but merely a replacement for an old vessel. But I frankly ad- fame Georgia in the budget debate mit: T am ready to make a break with our old principles, as the times ang conditions have changed.” (Rud- olf Breitechid, Socialist leader, at the Leipzig Convention of the Ger- man Social Democratic Party.) “Together with our French and Belgian comrades we demand the fulfilment of the Treaty of Versaill~ and military equality for Germany.” (Fritz Ebert, jr. ina speech on the atmament campaign of the German bourgeoisie.) AID WAR MOVES) All Aim at Anti-USSR Bloc; More Arms new A plan ultimately dation of the anti-Soviet bloc under the leadership of French imperial- iem will be approved today hy the French Cabinet and published in the afterncon according to a dispatch from Paris. This plan wes already approved by the French Parliament, with 420 votes against 20. The p’an thus re- ceived the support of all but the Communist members of the French Perliam from the ottspeken fishts to the socialists and renegades from Communism, The Featores « the French Plan ‘Through thi; plan Herrio! n be- half. of French jmpe: tries to reconcile Ho program for the luction of armaments by the rivals of the United States, with the Ger- man cry for armaments equality and the French “need of security” against agetessors, As ovflined in an official commu- nique, the new French program states that French imperialism “ - pared to acespt by a definite date the generalization and reduction of the period of ‘service of land and inter- national forces,” under the following conditions: 1. That all other ‘governments would agree to dissolve ail contrary formations (such as the Reichswehr and the Fascist Militia); 2.\'That international control would ‘be organized to investigate national armies; 3. That the Locarno Pact should | be supplemented by a regional pact of “mutual assistance” to which each European government should be a party, and the collective force pto- vided by which should comprise “spe- cialized national contingents, imme- diately available and well equipped”; 4. That the United States should guarantee security, “which they have themselves considered.” . These are the fundamental fea- tures of the Frnch plan, virtually calling for an international army and for a general “short term compulsory | service,” that far from reducing the belligerent efficiency of each im- perialism, increases it many fold Through its new plan, French im- perialism strives to uphold the Ver- sailles system, strengthen the anti- Soviet bloe under its hegemony and bring German imperialism into the system of war alignments under its leadership. German Approval Conditional Recognizing and appreciating these general features of the French plan, German capitalisth has no objection to the proposed formation of an in- ternational police force if “it were to participate in it to the same extent as others.” Of course, in German political circles close to tlie Govern- ment of Von Papen, it is said that not all the features of the Herriot Plan can be accepted without discus- sion. German capitalism bargaining with the French Government on the problem of armaments equality, con- tinues to consider favorably Hoover's “disarmament” plan. Although with more or less similar objections, .the German Socialist Party also approves in gerieral the French program which the Socialist paper, “Vorwarts” describes as “sen- sational” and in agreement with the “principle of equality.” Challenging the Freych bid for the hegemony of the anti-Soviet bloc, the British Government is ready to an- nounce its own disarmament plan, a dispatch from London indicates. The plan calls for a reduction of capital ships, the outlawing of air warfare, the reduction of European armies, and the reduction in the size and number of submarines. The plan is vrimarily directed against the. posi- ion of United States imperialism. A dispatch from Geneva declares that Norman B, Davis, the American representative, had “something to do” with the indirect bid for Italian sup- port made by Herriot in his speech marking | @ further step toward the consoli- | German | jsha ttered capitalist system throughout ithe world. While not referring ditectly to the | sont Union and the rising of fe- | volutionary struggles throughout the world, “Le Temps” left the infererice that the triumphant Socialist con- struction occurring in the Soviet Union precisely when industries and banks are closing down in all the | capitalist countries was sapping the confidence of the toiling masses in the capitalist system. Won't Hit Bankers The French imperialists do not in- tend that the American bankers should shoulder any of the débt bur- den, They are not even suggesting cancellation for the private debts due \the bankers. This partially explains the support for the governmental debt cancellation move by some sec- tions of the American imperialists. These latter also support the move | because it is linked, as “Le Temps” admits, with the drive for armed in- tervention against the Soviet Union, although réalizing that in a lesser desree it constitutes a united front of |the European powers against the United States. Borah Aids Imperialist Plan Senator Borah, Chairman of the Senate Foregin Relations Committee, is supporting the move to cancel gov- ernmental debits while maintaining silence on the private debts due the bankers. In a statement yesterday, {he spoke vaguely of policies which have brought the world to bank- ruptey, Boss Wars Now on England and France which are lending the drive for debt cancel- lations are as feverishly engaged: in war preparations as the. Wall Street Government. and with the same ma- jor aim—an attempt to solve ‘their difficulties at the expense of the toiling masses and of the Soviet Union and the Chinese Revolution. The rapid growth of capitalist chaos is speeding their drive for war,: as shown in the several undeclared wars already raging in various parts of the capitalist world: Japan in Manchuria; Bolivia and Paraguay, and between Colombia and Peru in South America, with American and Japanese im- perialisms the chief contenders be- hind the screen in Manchuria, and American and British imperialisms fighting through their South Amer- ican puppet governménts in their bitter rivalry for control of the nat- ural resources and markets in South America, While French {imperialism ts for governmental debt cancellation it is arranging a huge Joan for its Jap- anese allies, and is financing the feverish war preparations of the French vassal states on the western frontiers of the Soviet borders, in pre- paration for a joint attack with Jap- anese imperialism on the USSR. Many of these vassal states have al teady defaulted on their debt pay- ments to the U. 8. The U. 8. Government has not made public the notes of the British and French on the debt revision. Rumors are current in Wi official circles that the go nt has a secret understanding with France and England on the question cf revision, The understanding is no doubt connected with the pressure against Japan and with the anti- Soviet: front and the European tour of Gen MacArthur, U. 8. Chief of Staff which, as openly stated in the Czech bourgeois press, is tor the purpose of further organizing that front. The toilers of the various countries are forced to bear the full burden of these war debt payments. Commu- nists stand for the all around can- cellation of these debts by ail nations. at Toulose, This is regarded as in- dicating that United States imperial- ism ts striving through Davis, to pre- vent Mussolini from supporting Brit- ish imperialism while at the same time encouraging the Italian govern- ment to oppose the hegemony of French imperialism.

According to the last issue of the American Metal Market, journal of the metal indus- try, an increase to 30 per cent should be regarded as represefiting a ‘fair amount of recovery”; an increase to 44 per cent ds representing a “very substantial full recovery.” The automobile industry, a big steel | using industry, is basing its hope for recovery on the probable requirement of the market, to replace old ma- chines ready for thé scrap heap. Programs of railroad rehabilitation, another steel using industry, are in a stagnant condition. Structural prog- rams, also using steel, look for re- vival to structural projects financed by public funds. Factory machine construction is sliding ever more downward. The cry of dumping, raised so loud by the steel manufacturers, is an- other maneuver to prepare the ground for further reducing the living stand- ard of the steel workers, Worker correspondents who are ac- tive among steel and metal workers should, on the basis of the facts enumerated above, explain to the workers in nhoon-time discussions, in confidential meetings, and if possible in openly organized meetings, also through leaflets and bulletins, that the steel ‘worekrs’ way out of their misery and'starvation is to come into the figh’ for unemployemnt insur- ance with all theif. might, that the employed and unemployed steel and metal workers shall form a united front to fight for relief and insurance for the unemployed and against wage-Cuts for the employed. poser an ir eden SPEED-UP CHOPS OFF A FINGER Met.
