RELATIONS WITH

ASKED IN n. D.
Communist Legislator
Has Resolution

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. 2.-Amorg
the bills introduced by A. c. Miller,
the one Communist legislator in the
North Dakota legislature, is one favor
ing full diplomatic and commercial re-
lations between Soviet Russia and the
United States.
The resolution recites how the So
Wet government, established By the
Russian workers and peasants as the
best instrument OF forwarding their
happiness, has stood for more than
seven years in spite of being continu-
ally attacked by capitalist-imperialist
powers.
Refusal Has Capitalist Basis.
Notice is made of the refusal Of the
United States to recognize the Soviet
government, and il is stated that such
refusal can be based only on reac
tionary opposition to the Efforts Of the
workers and peasants of Russia tc
build up a social system where sucl
exploitation as was known there ans
is still existing here, will not be
known. The privileged capitalist class
of this country naturally wish tc
stamp out this example Of workers
and peasants revolutionary rule. =
Would Benefit American Workers.
Twenty-one nations, among them the
greatest of world powers, have been
compelled to recognize the Soviet pow
er, and the resolution declares tina
recognition would be greatly beneficial
to the workers and farmers Of the
United States as well as beneft to
the toiling masses OF Russia.
The resolution directs the Nortl
Dakota secretary Of state to mai
copies OF the resolution to the Nom
bers of the United States congress.

DUBLIN, Feb. 2.-Human
misery is rapidly reaching it's
lowest ebb in South Fernnanagh,
for there famine conditions are
tragically acute, said reports
from Enniskillen, in that dis
trict today. In 81 towns many
families have not tasted pota-
toes since November.
Potatoes always have been the main
and staple diet for these people and
the lengths to which they have gone
to substain within themselves the
spark of life is a story of privation
almost beyond comprehension in
countries where there is food and
warmth. s~
Peat is not to be had for fuel.
Farmers go about daily combing the
bleak countryside for green heather
with which to kindle tiny flame for
their suffering families.
Illness is general, malnutrition is
widespread.

Claim Los, L = Sixty
Million Dollars

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Live poultry
dealers are in a state OF frenzy over
the loss of profits because OF the en-
barge on poultry from thirteen states.
They claim a business Of 100000, 900
will be ruined if the embargo against
the fowl pest is continued A. E.
Albrecht, director of the N. Y. state
department of markets, says the en-
barge is necessary to protect the pub
lies interests and he also includes the
dealers interests. He said the dis
ease is making its first appearance in
this country, but that as a result OF
the embargo, there is no danger in
the live poultry sold in New York.
Won't Let Chickens Into N. Y.
The embargo is against sending In
to New York live chickens, roostere,
capons. hens, ducks. geese, turkeys,
pigeons and guinea fowl from the
states of Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas,
Ohio. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Wisconsin.
Ii is claimed that huge losses are
being sustained by 400 distributors of
live poultry, who are not only be-
waiting the profits which could be
made, but say their credit may be
damaged.
One OF the dealers said the en-
barge Is considered foolish and I'M
