FRENCH MAY DAY
ORDERLY DEMONSTRATIONS PARIS, May 1. May Day was quiet in France. Mass Labour demonstrations held throughout France were very orderly, as the Left Wing parties are anxious not to prejudice their chances of success in the second ballot in the elections. MILITARY DISPLAY IN MOSCOW AN AIR ARMADA MOSCOW, May 1. M. Josef Stalin and M. Molotov, standing by Lenin's tomb, inspected a parade of tens of thousands of troops, and more than 1,000,000 citizens, over whom hovered an air armada of 750 aeroplanes, including 375 specially fast small fighting machines. Increasing mechanisation was the most, notable feature of the military display. RADICALS UNITED MAY DAY CELEBRATION IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, May 1. Radical Labour celebrated international May Day in traditional fashion, with parades and a mass meeting. For the first time since the war the radicals effected something of a "united front," left wing socialists, communists, and some American Federation of Labour units marching together. The right wing Socialists, however, remained aloof. ________________
