LEADING
HIS FIGHT

FEDERAL BUILDING, DETROIT,
March 23.-Aaron Sapiro, so-called
wheat king, began pleading his own
case today at the trial of his mil
lion-dollar libel suit against Henry
Ford.
The wheat king read to the jury
one OF the articles published by
the Dearborn Independent after It
had been admitted to evidence over
the objections of Ford's counsel
The article charged that Radicals.
Communists and 1. W. VS. helped
Sapiro organize his co-operatives in
the northwest.
Sapiro, youthful, sleek.haired, took
up his own case because his chief
counsel, William III. Gallagher was
suffering from a heavy cold. He
read in even tones Ford's charges
that wherever the Sapiro co-opera-
tives were organized in the north
west there were outbreaks Of Com.
munism.
There appear as lieutenants (of
the Sapiro leaders, the radicals, the
agents of the I. w. W., even open

the Treasury Lincoln C. Andrews
and to Harry M. Luckett. divisional

Davis declares that the agents
who raided the lie Paradis acted
with extreme ZEAL and that the
proposed injunction would result in
heavy and unjust property loss"
Since lie Paradis was opened five
years ago, he declared, he has CON
sistently endeavored to live both
within the letter and the spirit OF
the law"

Mr.. Davis stated. ''The cafe pro-
prietor is placed in position in
which he is either expected to in
stitute surveillance which would
probably ALLEVIATE patronage to such
degree as to make his business
a non-paying venture, or he Is con-
fronted with the possibility OF hav-
ing his business confiscated as a
result Of the surreptitious act of a
few Of his patrons"
He characterized certain charges
of the raiding agents as absurd
and untrue" and as savoring "just
a bit of the famed light operas of
Gilbert and Sullivan rather than
everyday business"

Producing the money bill said. Mr..
Chairman, before introducing this bill
would like to have you make d correction
in a Typographical error as it appears in
line 5. This bill as presented by Gov
eminent reads Demonstration Farm"
instead Of "Demonstratiye Farm as
printed.
In this bin the Government proposes
that the Municipality determine whether
vegetables can be grown and marketed
from St. Croix proftabIy on a CONNER
cial scale. The Experiment Station has
grown these vegetables for five years
and it has made a number Of small ex-
detrimental shipments, These shipments

possible to meet. Private individuals
are trying to grow these vegetables on a
small scale. but the results have been
varied Some couldn't grow others grew
with success but were not fortunate in
marketing. Others made no progress
because they admit they knew nothing
about it. The Government therefore be-
gan to look ABOUT for some way by which
it could demonstrate to the agricuitu-
rists that there is an opportunity in this
island to make d 5000 living by growing
vegetables The Director Of the Expert
ment Station is tully confident that it
can be dcne and if his opinions are cor
rect. there will be quite an important
Improvement in the prospects of this
island. IT only remains to be found out
whether that can or cannot be done: SO
ii is the purpose Of the Government that
a farm of about fourteen acres in area
be operated during this coming year with
the idea of demonstrating to the public
that this can be done at a good profit.
The Director of the Experiment Station
was approached as to whether it could be
done and he said he couldn't with the
funds at his command, but be would be
willing to make this demonstration if the
funds were available. He offered to
keep his records with particular care
