France Wants a New Loan

Attention attracted the attempt of the French

justment of the French debt.
While the department has legal power forbid
private bankers from making loans to foreign countries for

seriously considering following the footsteps of the British
eminent in its anSovie policy. The inspired capitalist press of

Perhaps the French government needs this trfng to

FARMERS ARE SLAVES ALL YEAR ROUND,
REPORT OF ANNUAL AVERAGES REVEALS

Colorado In Kansas it is winter
wheat and in the Dakotas spring
wheat. In southern Minnesota, Ohio
and Iowa the figures come from di-
versified crop and livestock farms,
while in northern Minnesota and Wis
consin it is dairy farming. The North
Carolina farms raise tobacco and
live1tocl, and the Texas farms cotton.
Even in Winter.
The department finds great varia-
tion in hours Of work between farm
operators in the same region. One
farmer in northern Minnesota worked
only 848 hours, while another worked
39A3 hours. There was also seasonal
variation in ali the states covered by
the investigation. In the Dakotas
farm operators WORKED about hours
per week day in the winter months,
10 bours per day in the spring and
summer and 91z hours in the fall.
Taking the country as a whole, the
department estimates that in spring
and summer a majority number of
farmers work more than 10 hours per
day with the corresDondrg figure

More than 5000 hours of physical
work, plus experienced management,
plus the benefit of $4,000 to $4,000
of property-all for 1858 That's
what the country pays its farmers
for producing the food, cotton and
other agricultural products which are
the basis of its existence. II we
disregard entirely the work Of the
farmers family and the farmers
capital, his return on his own work
figures at considerably less than 80
cents an hour.
Farmers Work 3,005 Hours.
The department of agriculture has
tried to answer the question, how
many hours does the average farmer
work? From records kept by 2S2
farm operators in IL farm states
the department finds that the hours
of the average farm operator vary
from 2024 per year on cotton planta-
lions in Texas to 3405 per year on
dairy farms in Wisconsin. The I'M
weighted average for the 10 states is
30Q5 hours per year.
"The hours of work shown" says
the department, includes only the
physical labor performed. The hours
shown consist of work in the fields
on crops, feeding and caring for
livestock and miscellaneous main
tenance and repair work about the
farm. In addition the farm operator
performed the duties incident to
management of the farm, including
the supervision Of the work done
by other workmen."

for the different states the average

quences of the financial sterilization.
But the economic situation is work
ing in favor of the Left wing. The
critical situation of industry renders
urgent the question of naturalization.
The struggles of the workers are in
creasing in extent. The C. G. T., in
spite of it's 100000 members, is not
conducting and will not conduct any
fight.
The essential task of the C. G. 7.
U. is to engage even more than in the
past in the immediate daily demands
to set up through its organizations
exact programmes, and to win for it's
slogans and its methods the whole of
the workers, including those organ
lied in the G. G.. T. This will be the
best means of developing the unity
movement into a mass action and in
ducing the more enlightened workers
to turn away from the deceptive pic
ture of a new Left bloc led by the
socialists which is being dangled be-
fore their eyes for the elections in
1923.

Whats WASHINGTON
OLD PARTY POLITICS IN WASHINGTON PROCEEDS
in UTTER DISREGARD OF RELATIONS TO LABOR

WASHINGTON, Sept. (FP).-
Evon the oldest correspondent in the
national capital cannot remember a
time when the business oligarchy in
control of the United States govern
ment held such und:sputed sway. The
fact is most strikingly apparent in
the realms of political gossip emanat-
ing from the hundreds of typewriters
manipulated by the mighty band of
newspapermen who scout the capital
in the interests of their publishers
back home.
Dull day after dull day these cor
respondents speculate endlessly about
Hughes, Hoover, Al Smith, Dawes,
Lowden and the host of lesser lumi-
naries seeking the presidency. But
in all their outpourings you will fail
to find the slightest mention of these
candidates attitude toward labor, or
labor's attitude toward them. APP
parantly labor's attitude is no longer
of much concern to either Of the dom
inant political parties.
Like Peas in Pod
Each and every candidate has the
stamp of business approval upon him.
and that is all that matters. Even
Lowden, the purportad farmers
friend, is regarded as eminently safe
and sound and in the particular good
graces of LaSalle St., if not Wall st.
The only distinctions discernible
among the republican candidates re-
late to vote-catching abilities, for the
ideas of Hughes, Hoover, Dawes and
the rest are as alike as peas in a

spondents say, or the possession OF

what Hollywood more commonly
knows as at" is the sole method of
choosing between the presidential
possibilities. If a candidate hasn't
got "It," he might as we'll get out of
the race.
Smith Will Get II?
The democratic prospects are
viewed with more or less apathy here.
AL Smith is the democrats only log
zeal candidate, and he could never be
elected, it is generally conceded Any
other candidate would stand even a
worse chance.
Organized labor's part in the presi-
dental campaign seems to be nearly
invisible. If Smith gets the demo-
cratic nomination, nearly all the votes
controlled by trade unionists in the
larger cities will go to him. But if
the southern drys pick the candidate
and the republicans name Hoover,
unionists will take little active part
in choosing between the two evils
Trade union apathy on the whole
question was never more clearly
shown than in the reaction to Secre-
tary of Labor Davis impudent lie
that a majority of labor officials re-
gret that Coolidge is not going to run
again No labor official in Wash
ington took the bother to clear his
skirts Of the insult implied nor would
any be quoted. Only the nomination
of Dawes could possibly upset this
apathy on the part of union leaders,
but just what they could do other
than conduct a negative fight against
him is uncertain, for the democratic
candidate may be little more ac-
centable.

TRINITY ID GIVE
 DEGREES ID WOMEN
Extension Course Changes An-
 nounced by OSlby

Hartford. May 17 R-Trinity col lege will grant the masters degree in arts or science to women who complete the requirements in Trinity extension, President R. E. Ogilby an nounced today. Trinity extension. which is administered by the Hart ford Y. w. C. A. educational depart Trinity college. Classes, held during the evening, alo taught by the reg ular college faculty.
 During it's 104 years of existence Trinity has granted few honorary degrees to women. but never any degrees in course. Under authorza- tion of the board of trustees. how ever, women who hold a bachelors degree from a recognized college may now secure a Trinity masters degree.
 Under the new ruling 1t will be unnecessary for women who have been taking courses at the extension to transfer their credits to CO., educational or women's college to secure their degrees as has been re- uuired ill the past. President Ogilby said that the new plan would obviate q great deal of trouble for women desrous of obtaining a masters de- gree, since it makes unnecessary this transfer of credits. The old course may still be pursued, if desired, how ever, he explained
 Two classes of courses are offered by Trinity extension: Those leading to degrees and those for which no credit is given. The former have proved far the more popular and contSin about 70 per cent of the total enrolment. This fact. President Ogilby said. led the college faculty to request from the trustees power to grant the advanced degrees to women. since about two thirds of the total extension enrolment consists of women, several of whom are working for masters degrees.
