Truants, shirkers’and other types of delinquents, who in the United States are treated as “cases, S brought up before “comradely trial and very few pupils want to go through the ordeal of public criticism and censure by the body of comrades.

But the adult workers a whole don’t have to be forced to acquire knowledge. Nowhere in the world will you find such a mass-thirst for knowledge and education as in the Soviet Union. The wor vidity to know and to learn is something a foreigner cannot comprehend and can only marvel at. There is not a week but Gluhovo plans some kind of new school or course of study, and whether it is a circle for the study of political sciences or a course on the methods tempering steel, or a group of cultural “self- vity” (painting, mu- sic, theatre, radio), there is never a Jack of applicant: e book Il of |the Noginsk railway station or of | the Gluhovo workers’ club is a veri- | table encyclopedia of small and hand; | pamphlets as well as bulky volumes | Here is a list of the major schools and educational institutions at the town of Noginsk with its |tion of 60,000; two “semileikas,” three lower-grade schools, a teachers’ training school, a training school for nurses, a Rabfak for the textile in- | dustry, a Rabfak for the turf-indus- SOVIET WORKERS reading and studying in a Lenin corner of uneir ‘There are (honsamde nf snok somners in the factories at the popula- | Along with technical try, a Rabfak for socialist business | | three divisions | porting Daladier, but also getting the) | millionaire, who advocates a policy| N AT PLAY.

FRENCH SOCIAL: DEMOCRATS MEET Will Continue Support of Bourgeois Gov't PARIS, April, 18—At the Avignon congress of the French Socialist, Party a sham battle is in brisk process on the question of exactly how much support can the Socialists give to the present Daladier cabinet. Unless some ‘support is forthcoming, the Daladier government cannot continue. The French Socialists are split into —e2, right wing led by udel, which favors not only sup- Socialist snout into the pork barrel by actually entering the cabinet; a centre group, led by Leon Blum, the Jess crude than Renaudel’s, namely that of practical support without en- try into the government; and an in- significant left wing. The first wide open split in the party came when the Socialist depu- | ties voted in favor of a wage cut for | the French state employees, This led directly to Leon Blum’s resignation as chairman of the party. A few days later the Socialist Party voted 90 in favor of w credits, 10 against, with 29 abstaining. The extraordinary Congress which has just met at Avig- non, was to bring back unity to the Party, but has merely produced fur- \ ther irritation and widened the divi- a. f the factory by one of 'y hot “comradely trial” was quently, with the teacher @UBSCRIPTION BATHS: By Matt everywhere: One year, $6; six excepting Borough ef Manbattan Can: ‘One year, $9; 6 months, $5; 7 mont months, $9; 1 menth, 7a, Foreign and 38. months, $8.50; d Bronx, New York City. Roosevelt Conferences Aim to Take Lead from England; Drive to Wai WASHINGTON, April 18,—All departments of government, espec- | ially the departments of state, war and navy, are making detailed} preparations for the conferences | that are to be held with envoys of | the foreign powers. Representatives | from two score or more nations| jof the world are converging on| | Washington. The first conversa-| | tions will be held with Prime Min. | | ister J. Ramsay MacDonald of Eng-| j land, to be followed by those with | former premier Eduard Herriot of | | France. Conferences will be held later with Dr. Hans Luther, German | | ambassador to Washington; Guido! Jung, Mussolini’s finance minister, | and Viscount -Kikujiro Ishii, for- | eign minister of Japan. Later, over a period of weeks, will come conferences with all the other rep-| resentatives. i} Part of Drive Toward War. | These conferences with rep-| resentatives of individusl powers | | preceding the arms conference| | and the world economic conference | to be held in Europe are clearly an| | attempt of United States imperial- | |ism to reach agreements favor- | able to its general world imperial- \ ist policy. That is why the state, ‘war and naval departments are | | playing leading roles in their prep- | avalion, Then, also the wide pub- | lieity attending these conferences } helps to conceal from the masses | in the United States the fact that} the Roosevelt program in every neva cf activity has made mat-! ters worse instead of better. As the effect of the worsening of the conditions of the workers and farm- | @@d-vide sections of the lower riddle class now impoverished be- comes plain the Roosevelt admin- | istration tries to create #be illusion | that these conferences will in some | way aid in economic recove In| reality the holding of this series of conferences shows that Wall St. is taking an increasingly aggressive | jrole in the frantic drive toward | | world war for a redivision of the | world between the bandit powers -a war that has already begun in the Far East. Economic aspects 2 subordina to the politics of mperialist aggression, Disarm the Other Feliow. The conversation with both Her- riot and MacDonald will involve detailed discussion of limitation of armaments. Both these imperial- ist agents have long beep recog- nized as experts in using pacifist perialist policy by promising them all and more than England promised them. The fact that Herriot, the French delegate, is not a member of the French government and the fur~ ther fact that he is the chief pol- itical enemy of the French foreign minister, Joseph Paul-Boncour, proves that anything Herriot mi tentatively agree to can be repudi- ated by the French government. This fact is made perfectly clear in all official references to the Herriot mission England on the Defensive. In the case of the MacDonald visit it is certain that the British government regards the Roosevek invitations quite scriously—not se much the direct conversations b tween MacDonald and Roosevelt, b | the fact that the dominions, Canai |, and Australia, are also to send del.'- gates, The capitalist classes of both these dominions lead an independent existence and for years have been in the position of being able to play off American imperialism against British imperialism, with the Wall Street gang making great economic inroads in those countries. It is felt in England that the prin- cipal job of MacDonald is not the conversations with Roosevelt, but the job of trying to prevent further rifts between these dominions and their so-called “mother country,” and to prevent American imperialism out- manoeuvering England in its at- tempts at world leadership. In this regard the British envoy is on the defensive. The Far East Situation Into this maze of sharpening con- tradictions the Far Eastern question enters, with tae United States us- ing all its powers and resorting every form of intrigue to try to ga’ support for its increased aggressiy ness * the Pacific against Japan Yn all these discussions which will involve tariff walls, gold and silver standard, price “control,” favored na- tion treaties and war debts, the cen- tral aim will be manouvering for place in the preparations for the next stage of the imperialist w: That the Japanese will again raise the questions raised by the League of Nations envoy, Yosuke Matsuoko, in his recent visit to this count: | is a foregone conclusion. These clude the question of the naval forti- fications in the Pacific, the heavy naval concentrations in those waters, and the question of support to the Chinese butcher government of Chang Kai-shek. At the same time the Roosevelt administration will try to reach a more effective working agreement with the Chinese repre- gestures to conceal war prepara-| sentatives regarding the aspirations tions. | Roosevelt will strive to use the inter-allied debts as a means of trying to induce both France and ngland to reduce their arma- ments. In trying to get France to reduce armaments Roosevelt will have the support of MacDonald; in ing to induce American imper- down her armaments Roose- cut velt will have the support of Her- riot. Thus all those involved will try to induce their imperialist riv- als to cut down armaments. French Press Exposes Game. How cynically the Paris press views the conversations with Roosevelt is best shown by the car- toonist in “Le Cri de Paris”, which depicts MacDonald on the eve of sailing for Washington, standing before the super dreadnaughts of the British navy, holding up his hand and saying: “Yes, Great Britain is ready to suppress the French navy. I said nothing about the navies of the world’. The cartoon is sardonically headed “Apostle of Disarmament’’. This characterizes the tone of the French press since MacDonald visited Mussolini and together these worthies hatched what they called a plan for a four-power pact in- cluding England, Italy, Germany |and France. The French imper- | jalists understood that France was ‘only included as a blind to cover up the attempt io align Germany by the side of England and Italy against France. France Distrusts Roosevelt. At the same time France thor- oughly distrusts Roosevelt, especi- ally in view of the fact that the first invitations to Washington ex- cluded those vaszal states of France Little Entente — in Europe, the Czecho-Slovakia, Yugoslavia and Rumania—and Poland. Both | Brance and England have a well- | founded suspicion that one of the sm’s greatest rival, Engiand, to| jof American imperialism in China, with promises for further aid against the Chinese Revolution and the | Chinese Soviets. South American War Sector Of great importance also will | the manouvers in regard to the siti? | ation in South and Central America, | where there are raging at this mo- | ment two wars—Bolivia and Para- Colombia and Peru — where American imperialist aggression has provoked open warfare on the part | of its vassals against the lackey gov~ jernments of British imperialism. In | the case of these countries also Roo- sevelt will not be the only one te |confer with their representatives. | MacDonald will have little conversa~ | tions on his own and both British and American imperialism will try to align the most powerful South Amer- ican state, Argentina, behind their conflicting policies. Attempted Anti-Soviet Solution In all this welter of conflicts there | will be one note that will always be | uppermost. That is the campaign against the Soviet Union. Roosevelt by refusing to invite representatives of the Soviet Union publicly an- nounced to all the other powers that | that is one issue on which he can be expected to strive to come to terms. It is certain that there is not one other issue in the whole world on which the United States and Enj}- land or the United States and Jap} can come to terms. All of these vulture powers endeavor in the Roosevelt conversa~ | tions as they have tried in the past | at all international conferences to | temporarily submerge their differen- | ces at the expense of the Soviet Union. With the ever deepening economic crisis forcing the capitalist class of each couniry to fight for itself inst all others there is a wave of extreme nationalsm rising ever higher which makes more difficult | any definite and permanent agree- | ments between powers. x When the world economic confer- lence is called in London it will be a continuation of all these manou- aims of Roosevelt’s conversations | vers, these under-handed deals, that is to try to align Italy and Ger-| will continue and become more ve~ many on the side of American im-! nomous as long as capitalism lasts, "NEW BRUNSWICK PLANT SPEEDS WAR ORDERS WHILE IT CUTS PAY (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW BRUNSWICK, N.
