In the municipal elections held 6n Dec. 4, however, striking gains were | made by the Communist Party. In| San Jose, out of a total of 6,300 bal- | lots cast, the Communist Party re-| ceived over 1,300 votes.

Of this number 2,203 were convicted and sentenced to terms of “mprisonment totalling 1,936 years, in addition to a total of 785 yeats of exile. While the Greek bourgeoisie tries in this manner to dam up the rising tide of revolutionary discontent, the economic crisis is overwhelming the | country. The Greek drachma, with a par value of 19 cetits, is now quoted | at less than one-half a cent in the markets of the world, reflecting the catastrophic collapse of the Liab economic mae HOOVER FOR WAR DEBT BARGAINS ‘yessure of British Rivals on Gold Issue (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) | that the debts can never be paid, still his speech indicated clearly the con- tinuation of the policy of using the debts as weapons in the drive of Am+ "td Of course, while implicit in Hoover's Speech, is carefully hidden in talk about trade barriers, quotas, ae But the tariff wars and the endeavor of Wal] Stréet to try to get Britain back on the gold standard is part of the fle around the ever- sharpening rivalries of these two im- perialist powers, That this rivalry grows sharper with the sharpening of the world economic crisis is openly admitted by Hoover. Puts For Wall Street Policy ‘The talk of Hoover on the ques- tion of return to the gold standard follows closely the outline of the Na- tidhal City Bank in its February 1 letter to its customers, which com- rkined that without a return to the g id standard wage cuts and other 2 saults upon the standards of liv- | fits to Wall Street.

Tt is quite easy to see. however, that the retyrn to the gold standard cannot put an end to trade rivairy, anymore than it can put an end to any of the other imperialist conflicts.
