F ARM RELIEF UP
FOR DEBATE IN
CONGRESS- SOON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Farm re-
lief forces began today to wind up
the preliminaries Of their drive for
legislation, with prospects that the
battle will be raging on the entire
congressional front within two weeks.
Despite their inability to reach an
agreement with the administration or
to end all differences in their own
ranks, farm bloc leaders expressed
hope that an imposing farm aid bill
may be passed before congress folds
its tent and goes home on March 4.
The house edition OF the McNary-
Haugen bill, modified slightly to meet
the demands of Rep. Haugen (R)
chairman OF the agriculture commit
tee, will be given the right-of-way by
that body. Consideration OF the bin
is scheduled for tomorrow, with
strong probability that vote will be
reached within a few days.
Senator McNary (Rl OF Oregon, an
nounced that the senate agriculture
committee Of which he is chairman
will begin hearings on his own bill
late in the week.
Under the present plans of farm
relief leaders, the fight for legislation
will be conducted In both houses OF
congress at the same time.
Equalization Fee Stumbling Block.
The entire present fight, It is gen.
orally admitted, hinges upon the ap-
plication Of an equalization fee to
meet losses which would be incurred
in the sale OF products abroad at low
err prices than are paid by American
consumers. Southern senator's and
congressman have shown no DISPOSE
ton to yield to insistence that this
fee be applied to cotton, as well as to
wheat, corn and hogs.
Meanwhile Senator Curtis (R) Of
Kansas and Rep. Crisp Cd OF Geor-
gia, began pushing their compromise
measure, which is reported to have
the partial endorsement OF the admin
| istration.
This measure Is claimed by its
sponsors to be a composite produc-
ton, embracing many features OF the
McNary-Haugen, Fess-Tincher, Aswell
and Drummond bills and to include
some Of the ideas promulgated by ex-
Governor Lowden of Illinois.
The house committee prepared also
to hear officers OF the national grange
expound their debenture plan for
meeting losses on export products
sold at the world level of prices. while
senator-elect Brookhart (R) OF Iowa
J will push Ids own plan before the sen.
ate committee. ~.

Karl Liebknecht was the champion
of the working youth in every coun-
try Of the world. When the world
war of the bankers and business men
came Liebknecht was one OF the very
few who opposed it. He called to
the workers of the world to put en-
end to this war Of the capitalists.
He urged the working class to strike
at its enemy by fighting for work
ers' government. His voice inspired
the millions who were being sent to
the slaughter for the benefit OF the
money-lords.
Is Assassinated.
Because of, his courageous fight
against capitalist miltarism which
murders young workers for the profits
of the bosses, the German capitalists
assassina.ed him. He was brutally
murdered with the aid and Indictment
of the socialists of Germany.
Not Forgotten.
But the young workers Of the world,
whose champion Liebknecht was, have
not forgotten him and his work. He
was one OF the founders of the fighting
working class youth movement. Every
year the young workers gather to pay
tribute to the memory Of the noble
