Class Divisions Still Formative.
THE extent to which confusion has
crept into the camps of the bour-
geoisie in their efforts to meet the
agricultural, crisis is shown clearly
by the fact that in the house agri-
cultural committee, consisting of TWEEN
ty-One members, neither a political,
nor even a numerical, majority could
be secured for any Of the three major
agricultural bills now before the
house. OF course, since It was impos-
sible to secure a majority in a COM
mittee Of twenty-one, the likelihood
Of securing majority in a larger
committee-the house OF representa-
tiVes, consisting Of ABS members-is
even Simmer. Come what may, no
matter what bill will be passed or re-
jected by the house in its closing de-
alterations. the hold of the republican
party on the agricultural sections will
be further considerably weakened.
Government Openly Against Farmers.
WrHAT may the farmers expect from
w the United States government?
Perhaps the best answer to this
question is to be found in the recent
action of the senate committee on in
terstate commerce in it's dealings with
the railroads. The railroads owe the
United States S304,OO0,00O which were
lent to them during the war period by
the United States treasury. This
money was lent to the railroad inter
ests at the rate Of six per cent. Only
the other day the senate committee
on interstate commerce reported IA
Vorably a bin for the reduction Of the
rate of interest from six to four and
one-half percent on ths amount owed
the government by tho railroads
This reduced rate OF interest means
an annual loss to the United States
government OF more than s6.000,000
At the same time, the senate is re-
fusing to enact legislation to give
money to the land banks for use in
helping the farmers in the Piedmont
regions of Georgia and South Caro-
lima to meet the emergency caused by
the severe drought, which is the worst
experienced by the farmers in this
territory in many years. A futile ef-
fort has been made to secure an ap-
preparation of s5,OOO,000 in order to
enable these farmers to make loans at
the local banks for the purpose of
meeting interest on overdue debts.
These South Carolina and Georgia
farmers are being compelled to Dor
row from local banks at exhorbitant
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-05-15

the United States government Is too
poor to help the farmers in distress.
Senator Nye of North Dakota doesn't
stand one chance in a million to get
even the slightest consideration for
his bill to have the United States gov
eminent accord the same treatment to
the bankrupt farmers which it has
accorded to the fascist government Of
Italy.
In the meanwhile, the workers IN
the industrial centers can CLEAN in
creasing signs of developing hostility
on the part Of small farmers to the
big capitalist interests. When the
spokesman of the corn belt commit
tees, representatives that are very
conservative and ultra cautious, can
make a declaration of the following
character, then we surely have an in
creasing mass protest in the ranks Of
the farmers that will cause deepgoing
class realignments in the near future.
Glass Conflicts in the Making.
WTE quote from the statement made
w by the corn belt committee on
May 5th:
1.-THE strategy Of the opposition to
farm relief legislation Is simple and
easily understood. It is to organize
an industrial bloc arouse Eastern
consumer fears, and form an aIlI-
ance with certain ultra-eonserVa-
tives from the South. II Is a move
that is shot thru with seetionalism
and class prejudice and constitutes
an assemblage Of infiammabIe ma
terial that may wreck political par
ties and bring about new groupings
In our national life -. A solid
combination Of the east invites =
similar combination In the west and
south with the results Of a clash OF
these two solid combinations q
long way In the future with much
political and other wreckags along
the way"
The class conscious proletariat of
the United States has a distinct and
imperative duty in its relations to the
agricultural masses. It is the task OF
the working class to win over as many
OF the agricultural masses as possible
to its banner and leadership in the
fight against the big bourgeoisie. The
contradictions in American agricul-
tural economy are too inherent and in
grown to be met by the half-hearted
efforts OF our capitalists. Herein is
a real opportunity for Communist In
spiration and leadership.

interest rates or forced to lose their
property. AT the same time, the rail-
roads are being saved millions of dol
lars by the, government. While the
railroads are enjoying a most pros
porous year, many sections of these
states have had their whole cotton
crop destroyed. Nearly one-haR of
the counties of South Carolina have
been so hard hit that their entire crop
has been wiped out.
Thru the land banks, the farmers
Of these territories owe the govern
ment approximately 100000, 900. The
farmers being bankrupt cannot meet
these obligations. They are thus
forced to give a second mortgage on
their farms or to mortgage other
property they may happen to have at
the local banks. These banks charge
the farmers a minimum interest of
nine per cent. The government con-
sequently is compelling these farm
ers to pay the loan sharks at least
nine per cent in order to meet the in
terest maturing on the mortgages con-
trolled by the land banks of the Wash
ington administration.
Washington Friend of Railroads
Foe of Farmers.
IF anyone wants to know whose gov
= eminent is now being run at Wash
ington, all he has to do is to examine
the above facts. When the railroads
fail to meet their financial obligations,
the government rewards them by re-
ducing their obligations. But when
the farmers are driven into bank
ruptcy by the monopolist capitalists
and by the forces OF nature, then the
government penalties them Instead
OF reducing the obligations Of the
farmers in dire straits, the govern
ment drives the farmer still further
into debt and bondage to the big cap
italist interests which controls every
wheel OF the governmental machinery
in the national and state capitals.
Here we have an answer not only
to the question: Whose government
is this?" but also to the problem Of
what the agricultural interests, the
farmers, may and viii get from the
United States government.
Government viii Help Fascist
Not Farmers.

CATHOLICS PAY
TRIBUTES TO Nine
CARDINALS AT N. Y.

New York, June 13.-(P)-With all
the pomp and color of the Roman
Catholic church, New York City paid
formal and reverent tribute to the nine
cardinals within its diocese.
A procession witnessed by 100000
persons began the formal reception to
the princes of the church. Hundreds
knelt in Fifth avenue to receive the

legate, who rode at the end of the pro-
cession.

son avenue to ST Patricks' cathedral,
Cardinal Hayes of New York and seven
visiting cardinals and their staffs who
had acted as a reviewing party on an
embankment in the rear of the cathe-
dral, marched with the procession to
the front and into the cathedral.
Preceded by servers the nine car
dinals in their scarlet robes, followed
by a. retinue in purple gowns, marched
down the main aisle of the crowded
cathedral under flags of the United
States and of the pope and an arch
of swords. They took their places
within the altar rail, the papal legate
occupying the throne, Cardinal Hayes
taking his seat with the other princes
on the improvised throne opposite.
Facing Cardinal Bonzano were Car
dinal Reig Casanova of Spain; Car
dinal Ciernoch, archbishop of Stringo-
mia and primate of Hungary; Cardinal
Pif1, canon regular of the Lateran and
archbishop of Vienna; Cardinal Dubois.

Evil Seen in Paying
Congress men for
Talk on Legislation
Bay State Representative Spe-
officially Names Anti-Saloon
League - Charges Money
Systematically Given From
Secret Funds - Asserts Is
Vicious Practice And Takes
Independent Character From
Legislator

Washington, June 13.-(P)-Mem-
bers of congress would be prohibited
from accepting fees for making
speeches ono any legislation pending
in congress or expected to be pre-
sented to congress in the immediate
future under a bill drafted by Rep
resentative Tinkham, Republican,
Massachusetts, which he said today
would be introduced Tuesday.
The proposed measure is made
necessary, he said. because of the
| ugly exposure and admission that
members of congress have been sys-
tematically and clandestinely given
money or fees from the secret funds
of the ecclesiastical and political or
ganiZation known as the Anti-Saloon
League"
THE acceptance by legislators of
fees from any organization instigat-
ing legislation" Tinkham continued,
sis so vicious that by common con-
sent all honest men condemn it. 1t
takes from the legislator his indie
pendent character and his impartial
faction and it takes away the moral
sanction behind all law. Practices
of this character. instead of wrap
ping legislative action with probity,
expose it to contempt and scorn. 1t
is corrupt method of procedure.
NO member of congress should
be upon the payroll of any organiza-
ton seeking legislation or be it's oc-
casional or constant paid propaganda
list. The payment of any money for
any purpose to members of con-
Gress by the Anti-Saloon League is
doubly repugnant because this de-
testable organization is continually
lnstigating measures not merely
against property rights, but against
the liberty of the individual This
unsavory practice is not only dis
honorable but it is odious and often
sive to public ethics"

MARbLEHEAD and

BIRTH OF j. s. NAVY

Marblehead, Mass, June 13.-(P)-
This town fired a salvo today in the
battle over the birthplace of the
United States navy. 1t was in an
swer to- Salem's broadside OF yester-
day to the effect that the navy began
there 100 years before Marblehead
could boast a man o war.
Cambridge had better make sure"
today's statement read in part. that
it preserves the remnants of the elm
where Washington took command of
the army some 100 years previous
to 1775 on Salem common"
The answer to Salem came from
the general committee which tomor-
row begins to celebrate the 150th an
niversary of the founding of the navy
here. The Marblehead defenders
said that Secretary of the Navy Will
bur had reviewed Marblehead's
claim and found it good. In testi-
mony thereof the navy was sending
three battleships to help in the cele-
bration. and the graduating class of
the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
was to stop here this week during it's
cruise.
Captain Thomas G.. rockingham,
secretary of the Massachusetts mili-
tary and naval Historical Society
and naval historian, attacked Salem's
claim as presented by Sidney Perley,
who said Salem deserved the birth
place honor because the trading ship
Keith was fitted out there as a man o.
war in 1876. rockingham said that it
was absurd" to argue that this con-
stituted the birth of the navy, since
the Quitting of the Keith was not
authorized by the United Colonies.
The first authorized naval vessel
was Marblehead ship" he said,
land was named by Marblehead
men,"
