O x r : : FRENCH OVERTHROW PARTY iW FORMING Extreme Element in Labor Unions Active. MARCEL CACHIN LEADER vTould-Be Lenine of France Openly Challenges Associates to Join. Red Movement. Pub- BY LINCOLN EYRE (Copyright by the Near Tork World, ilshed by Arrangement.) - PARIS. Aug. 28 (Special Cable.) A communist party, frankly devoted to the violent overthrow of bourgeois civilization according to the doctrine of the third Internationale and allied with the extremist element In labor unions. Is now in process of organiza tion. Marcel Cachin, who since his return from Russia has gained the leader ship of an openly revolutionary fac tion in French socialism, has already thrown down the gauntlet to his as sociates of the united socialist party unified in name only. Cachin means to become the Lendne of France, with L. O. Frossard, hi3 companion on the Eussian trip, as a French Trotzky. As a first step in this direction he has notified the moderate leaders, both among the socialists and the la bor unions, that on his return from a fortnight's vacation In the coun try he would split the socialist party wide open unless they rallied to the blood-red banner of Moscow without delay. Spilt la Probable. Since moderates like Albert Thomas, Renaudel and Ernest Lafont, the last r.amed of whom was expelled from Russia at Trotzky's behest, have no intention of subscribing to Cachin's radicalism, there is no longer any doubt that in the near future French socialists, like those of America and Great Britain, will form two warring groups, one pledged to pacific and constitutional attainment of its ideals and the other committed to revolution by violence. In the chamber of deputies socialist representation in which heretofore has been deemed an index of the party's policy, the former group would undoubtedly prove the stronger. Of 60 odd socialist deputies scarcely more than a dozen would be likely to follow Cachin into the communistic fold. But what the attitude of the rank and file would be i3 Jess easy to foresee. The younger militants, virtually without exception, are thoroughly bolshevik. They not only demand af filiation with the Third Internationale, Lenine's chief instrument of world revolution, but even clamor for the immediate establishment of a dicta torship of the proletariat in France or at very least for the preparation of a definite plan of revolutionary action. Leadership Is Assured. Hitherto a fact which was recog nized with extreme bitterness in Moscow there has been no leader in France able or willing to undertake this perilous task. Today, however, Cachin appears to be not only willing but absolutely determined to serve as standard bearer in the open and, if need be, bloody warfare against the bourgeoise. To this end he has strenuously struggled to effect an alliance with the central confederation of labor; thus far, however, without success. The confederation, which unites all French trades unions, was quite ready to second Cachin's campaign against the government's support of Poland. Like the British council of action, it is prepared to oppose with a general strike any attempt to involve France in a war against the Soviets. But it is still far from convinced of the wisdom of adopting the revolu tionary programme urgedjty the so cialist envoy to Moscow? Socialist and labor papers are full of warnings to the proletariat against the war-like schemes of "the capitalistic holy al liance." But they are noticeably chary of proposing a dictatorship of the proletariat as a remedy imme diately applicable to Mie ills caused by capitalism. Moderate Element Scores. The labor confederation's policy probably will be defined at the con gress to be held in Orleans early next month. Meanwhile, at a general meet ing of the state railroad workers' union, just adjourned, the moderate element scored a considerable vic tory. The radicals held responsible for the unpopular strike of last May were censured and voted down. MORE COMIM SAYS COX (Continued From First Page.) dustrial controversies opinion always will."

PROGRESS ROOSEVELT'S PLEA Democratic Programme Promises Most, Says Speaker GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Aug. 28. Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic vice-presidential candidate, address ing a crowd at the tJnion Pacific de pot, devoted most of his attention to the proposition that the democratic party this year offered the most pro gressive programme presented to the American electorate and declared that the front-porch rocking-chair plan of presenting issues by the opposition party resulted from the disastrous isn t-it-awf ul-Mabel" touring of Hughes in 1916. Special stress was laid on the point that "Germany herself looked for ward to the league of nations for re construction an.d "justice" and that it was "America's high duty to aid the German people themselves, now that the war was over, as well as to aid other European nations.1 Turning to the question of cam paign expenditures, Mr. Roosevelt said the fund being raised By the re publicans was so vast as to warrant the fixed conviction in advance that it ceuld not all be expended lesriti mately. "And this was attempted at a time when the public had begun to Deiieve wi had got by the lavish ex penditures of money in political cam paigns and the contributions of cor porations and individuals for selfish purposes. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Roosevelt descended from the train and shook hands with many of ms listeners. FLOWERS SHOWERED OX COX Governor Gets Enthusiastic Wel come in Xcw York. NEW TORK. Aug. 28. Governor Cox was showered with flowers at the Grand Central station today when he arrived for a two-day visit to New Tork. The democratic presiden tial candidate found thousands of men and women massed in the ter minal to greet him. As he left his train he was erreeted by a committee of democratic women. Proceeding down the platform, he found the train crew lined up. and with each man the governor shook hands. The real reception, however, came when Mr. Cox. entered the rotunda. pAn aisle had been roped off. He found not only the main floor- but the galleries and the grand staircase thronged. As the nominee, who this after noon delivered an address at the po lice ramei at Gravesend, reached the center of the hall, prolonged cheer ing broke out, followed by cries for speech. Then came the rain of flowers. and public World Declared Menaced. The governor also at the luncheon gave what he termed a "word to busi ness men." "Many," he said, "are helping to install an administration which intends to scrap the league of nations." "If the league does not become a thing in fact," he continued, "it is my .judgment that not a single European nation will ever be able to pay its national debt, and if that is not paid . then what becomes of fiscal condi tions overseas? The financial stabil ity of the world depends on the adop tion of the league of nations." Governor Cox added that public confidence must be given to industrial readjustments and he said "millions of dollars are being contributed to guarantee an unfair adjustment." Industrial Danger Seen. "I know men," he asserted, "that are making contributions for the pur pose of using the bayonet to settle In dustrial differences. Nothing could be more dangerous than that. That is kuilding a bolshevik factory." The governor said he proposed to use the "golden rule" in settling in dustrial disputes. He also promised to remove war taxes unjustified dur ing peace. PROGRESSIVISM HELD ISSUE Roosevelt Speaks Against Reaction In Omaha Address. FREMONT, Neb., Aug. 28. Frank lin D. Roosevelt, democratic candi date for vice-president, today assert ed the big issue of the campaign Is progressivism against reaction.

We believe we will be better Americans and more capable national officers by getting better acquainted With the United States." He classified women as a thinking element among the voters, and de fended the administration's stand on WALLA WALLA TO HEAR COX Democrats Rejoice When Welcome Telegram Arrives.
