APTISTS ASKED
TO SWALLOW A
BIG MOUTHFUL
Virgin Birth Theory On
Spiritual Menu

ATLANTA, Ca, May ia resolu-
ton, which will bring into the open
the fundamentalist-mo dispute,
was introduced in the southern Bap-
fist convention today, by DR.. C. p.
Stealey, editor Of the Baptist Messen-
ger, Oklahoma City.
The resolution proposed that "trus-
tees, officers and members Of facul-
ties Of institutions owned, fostered or
supported by the southern Baptist
convention be required to sign a state
ment of belief" confirming to eight
points of the fundamentals doctrines.
The resolution would require an alb
solute acceptance of the basic and
literal meaning Of the script.
These eight points include the bible,
the unity and equality of the three
persons Of the godhead, the literal &C
ceptance Of the creation story as &C
counted in the book Of Genesis, the
Virgin birth Of Christ, the atonement
of sin only thru belief in Christ, the
new creation or rebirth in Christ, the
actual bodily resurrection and return
of Christ from the grave and the spiri-
tual conception Of the word church.

Farmers Get Corns
Chasing Vanishing
5; Now Pretty Sick
tex The FEDERATED Press)

A farmers dollar is today worth
only FAC when compared with the
dollar big business gets for its pro-
ducts. OF course this does not mean
that the farmer actually gets differ
ent kind of greenback when, he sells
his bushel Of grain or fattened porker
It's just the department of agricul-
lures way of showing how much more
the farmer has been debated than the
industrial world. The average price of
farm products has fallen so much
nearer the pre-war level than has the
average price of the goods and serv-
ices furnished the farm by organized
business that the farmer can get only
three-quarters as much in exchange
for his product as he did before the
war.
And at that there has been small
gain compared with last year when the
department reported the farm dollar
worth only zoe. At the lowest point in
the farmers defation his dollar was
worth only &c when compared with
the dollar Of organized industry. The
fact that during the 8 years since that
time the farmers dollar has gained
only 10 per cent contradicts the prop
uganda which emphasizes the farm
er's alleged recovery.

PERSHING Will
TALK BLOOD ON
SEPT. TWELVE
Trying To Pep Robots
For Next War
lsDeeiaI to The Daily worksrl

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 49,
RECOMMENDATION Of the American robots
for the war which will be the next
step in the development of American
Imperialism is the purpose of the pre-
paredness demonstration arranged for
Sept. IL by the military aristocracy
Of the United States, headed by Gen
eral Pershing. The date was selected
as being the anniversary of the
slaughter Of ST. Mihiel; it is hoped
that this memory will revive the
war hysteria so painstakingly created
six years ago by the capitalist press
and the schools.
That military strategists Of the ar
my have worked on the plan for the
new national defense system since
the moment the last war ended is adj
mitted by Pershing. The far-reaching
nature Of imperialist hopes was reveal
ed by the black-jacker when he said:
"The demonstration will certainly
have a most beneficial effect on ma
tional sentiment, thru which we hope
to establish this system as per-
manent policy"
Hushingly Pershing admits his eff
ficiency as servant of capitalist in
terests. Nobody sat on the lid longer
or harder than l did during the war
under very adverse circumstances"
he says. "Only those near me could
really appreciate it,"

for these increased wages the worker
is giving increased efficiency. Ac-
cording to the official figures there
has been an increase Of IS per cent
in productive capacity of labor on the
farm since the war began.
The long hours put in on the farms
must also be considered in any at
tempt to appraise farm wages. Ac-
cording to the report of the National
Bureau of Economic Research on en-
ployment, hours and earnings in the
u. S., the average farm laborer works
over SIS hours a week in winter and
so hours in summer. In northern states
the average week in summer meant
81 to Sc hours Of work. For this the
average monthly wage without board
was $46.91 or with board 1913. In
other words the exorbitant wages re-
ferred to among others by the federal
reserve agent Of the Minneapolis dis
trict meant something like Is cents
an hour without board or 1S cents an
hour with board.
The cause of the farmers difficulties
is not to be found in the meager wages
of labor but in the increasing tribute
in the form of rent, mortgage interest,
distribution charges and taxes to sup
port capitalism and its governing bu-
reaucracy.

HUGHES STAND
ON China R. R.
BACKS BUTCHERS
Opposes Returning 1t To
Soviet Russia
az The federated Press

WASHINGTON, May 19-Secretary
of State Hughes says that his inter
vention at Picking, in the form of
warning against handing back the
Chinese Eastern Railroad to Soviet
Russia except under conditions to be
first approved by the Powers, is in
strict accordance with the resolutions
adopted by the Washington Confer
ence of two years ago.
The official records Of that confer
ence, which assumed to settle" the
problems of the Far East without the
participation and against the protest
of Russia, show that the Chinese
spoke vigorously, but helplessly,
against these resolutions. The con-
ference, acting for the American, jap
anese, French and British bankers
and militarists, were compelling China
to leave this railroad in the hands of
Russian reactionaries of the butcher
type. Wellington Koo, now foreign
minister at Picking, declared that
Gen. Horvath, as director of the rail-
road under Allied auspices, had declar-
ed himself dictator of the whole ter
ritory thru which the railroad ran, and
had violated Chinese sovereignty at
will.
Yet the powers, unanimously, adopt
ed on Feb. 4, 1922, resolutions declar-
ing for better policing Of the road,
and added this reservation"
"The powers, other than China, in
agreeing to the resolution regarding
the Chinese Eastern Railway, reserve
the right to insist hereafter upon the
responsibility of China for the per-
Torrance of the obligations toward the
foreign stockholders, bondholders and
creditors of the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way Company which the powers deem
to result from the contracts under
which the railroad was built and the
action Of China Hereunder and the
obligation which they deem to be in
the nature of a trust resulting from
the exercise of power by the Chinese
government over the possession and
administration Of the railroad"
The Chinese Eastern, built by COM
pany which was in fact the imperial
Russian government, is direct line
southeastward across Manchuria, thru
Hardin, to Vladivostok. China wants
to improve commerce by letting the
Trans-Siberian road use it again.
Hughes says the foreign stockholders
and bondholders' interests-especially
those of Russian-must be first guar
anteed, on terms which may please
him.
