GERMAN ELECTIONS

APPEAL FROM MOSCOW LABOUR PARTIES SHOULD MAKE PEACE I UNITE® FRONT Sun Service. ' j MOSCOW. Thursday.—An appeal in favour of union between the Communists and the Social Democrats in Germany has been launched from a Soviet Russian broadcasting station, wherein: it is stated that in view of the im_ minent danger threatening from “the enemy of the working classes” it is urgency necessary that all Labour parties make peace between themselves. Under these circumstances, so the appeal continues, J Q imnuuiEt and Socialist as well as Christian workers, should hear in mind that the question at issue is far bigger than a mere party programme. It is now <, question of life or death foi- the working classes, and the whole Labour m vemeut. which is running the risk of being crushed by Fascism for many years to come. Internal struggles between the proletarian parties should therefore he postponed until after the defeat of the common foe. Many Farcical Groups , \ \ Sun Service BERLIN, July 20.—N0 fewer than 21 parties will solicit the suffrage of the German electors on July 25. Iu addition to the big parties there are, as usual, numerous more or less farcical groups—such as one nameless group whose aim is stated to be the fixation of a maximum salary for officials at 5000 marks, and another which defines itself as “a movement for ensuring impartiality in suppressing political parties.” The only result of the formation of such groups will be the useless splitting up of a certain number of votes.
