- 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.

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.
