LOUISVILLE, Ky.


Will you kindly explain the funda.
mentar idea and purpose of the Eu'
charistic Congress held in Chicago?
Answer--It was intended as an act
of supreme homage to Jesus Christ as
the Redeemer and Lord of the human
race.
The Catholic Church teaches that,
although God Is raised above the
sphere of sense, He Is not beyond the
reach of sensory perceptions. On the
contrary, He has pierced the veil in
the incarnation Of His only begotten
Son.
The divine Life thus historically ex.
ternalized in Jesus Christ Is perpetu.
ated in the Eucharist He established
and the sacrifice this feast commence
rates is likewise perpetuated. Both
exist forever by the divine will and in.
dependently of transient states OF
mind In believers. Thus the mass un.
der the regimen Of Catholicism Is the
organic life of its faith and of its
alteration of our Lord. The Eucha.
ristic Congress was held to emphasize
and celebrate this teaching.

Who in your opinion of all Of the
poets Of the world was the greatest
for majesty of poetic conception. no.
bility Of poetic art and expression and
influence upon the world at large?
Answer-My choice Is Shakespeare.
Homer. the deep browed," still holds
high place In ''the wide expanse," so
does Virgil, that wielder of ''the state.
Hest measure ever nodded by the hand
Of man." It should be said, however.
that the works ascribed to Homer
are now regarded by some scholars
as joint compositions enriched from
many sources during the prolonged
process Of their production.
To Chaucer belongs the honor of
wedding his imperishable tales to the
speech Of the plain people, and thus
beginning that great chorus OF song
which with strange intermissions has
lasted until now. Dante used the
Italian venacular as his vehicle for
one of the most majestic and infiu.
entail of the worlds religious epics.
II he had a rival in this field 1t could
only be Milton, Gods gifted organ
voice" But Millions epic poetry is
more praised than read. because his
loveliest verse belongs to his youthful
period.
Matthew Arnold, one of the best
critics Of poetry and himself no mean
poet, entitled Goethe "Europe's sagest
head" and said of Wordsworth that

Maybe l should have entitled this
article, why 1t Is Necessary to Have
Worker Correspondents Classes" The
main point, should say, is that It is
imperative for workers all over the
country to know the conditions OF
their fellow workers, and this can
only be done thru the medium OF the
newspaper, especially such newepa-
per as The DAILY WORKER, which
gives news only OF the workers; not
only OF workers in this country, but Of
workers thruout the world. Now, then
how can this news be obtained? Part.
ly thru reporters, (the paid kind but
mostly thru worker correspondents
who send in articles OF conditions in
their respective factories and shops
all over the United States. But not
all workers are sufficiently versed In
the ways OF writing Tor at least they
think so) and this 10 the purpose OF
this class; 10 teach workers TO write,
In simple language, Of their working

FARM LABOR OF
WEST SUFFERS
IN PROSPERITY
Crops Good, But go to
Bankers

IOWA is a country of corn and grain,
L Of rolling soil, rich in products, Of
filled elevators, Of creameries with
much butter and cheese. But no more
is 1t country of wealth as it was
before, when the toll Of the farmer
was readily exchanged for the gold
Of the east. No more do the crops
bring benefit into the hands of the
workers. That time is gone. 1t is
gone until the time that the people
who are tilling the soil change their
ideas in regard to the proper govern
ment of this world-until the time
they learn to manage their own af-
fairs.
Here are men working, fathers Of
families, receiving total amount Of
$50 a month and free rent, bringing
this amount home only about seven
months a year, the time during which
they have to work outdoors. The re-
mainder of the year they must borrow
living necessities from the store, and
nearly freeze to death from lack of
coal, living by the benefit of the
church and the blessings of god.''
Farm Owners Also.
But it is not only the farm help that
is suffering, it is the farm owner, too.
He sees his business capital shrinking
away, under for what to him is bad
luck, weather conditions, punishment
Of righteous god, for the signs Of
the population.
Here are some official figures of the
federal farm load board: Iowa is
standing at first place when it comes
to mortgages on farms. She owes
81 ,O9S, $40, 900 on her farms, and be-
sides this her crops are mortgaged
for an amount of $50O,OOO,OOO. On top
of this is the interest Of 6 per cent
which will take 1896 per cent OF the
produce Of the state to pay. ss,
Montana Follows. (.l'
Montana follows with land mort
gage OF $155, 100000 and a crop mort
gage Of $9O,OOO,OOO, which means that
1924 per cent Of her products must
go to pay interest. Wisconsin is in
third place, with land mortgage Of
s55, 100000 and a crop mortgage of
1929, 900 900, for which she must pay
S.45 per cent of her products for in
| terest.
Minnesota has a land mortgage of
S456, 900, 900 and a crop mortgage OF
1926, 100000, for which she must pay
s.s9' per cent of her produce.
No McLaren-Haugen bill will help
the farmers in this fight, as long as
they do not know how to help them
selves. The only thing that will help
the farmer is organization for the
rights of farm labor.
