Industry has turned to the radio
to help locate the earth's rich oil
and mineral deposits.
Prof g. M. Janslxy Of the Uni-
versity Of Minnesota, who Is here
in behalf OF the SIS applicants for
radio permits. declared today the
possibilities Of radio for geopiysi-
cal explorations, as compared to
the old divining rod methods, are
unlimited.
Already more than 800 .O0O, 900
In deposits have been located by
the radio" he stated.
He explained the radio method
as follows:
I'm the most successful methods
employed to date radio is used to
transmit a signal timing the exact
time OF explosion Of dynamite. This
explosion sends i sound or per-
cussion wave. through the earth.
The sound wave and the radio
timing signal make records at
points somewhat distant from the
point Of explosion. From this In
formation the geologist Is able to
determine the geological structure
OF the formations through which the
sound wave has travelled. F'orma-
lions known to be often associated
with petroleum deposits have been
located by this method even though
they are located 5000 feet below
the earth's surface.
The radio commission will hold
hearings on September Is on the

of the second international throughout the
world it tells the workers not to use force
to overthrow their oppressors, but the
moment it is permitted a share in the adj

"The family farm is bankrupt because it has be-
come inefficient production unit :. What
has happened during the last five years? An
increase in mortgage debts and number of farms
mortgaged decrease in the number of wel-to-do
cash tenants; increase in poor tenants decrease
in managed farms, but not in the proportion of
improved land operated by managers. Taking the
farmers total debts-mortgage personal and trade,
have the startling estimate of Is billion which at
per cent means an annual tribute of nine hundred
million dollars to capitalism The attorney generals
office reports a steady increase in the number of
cases of farm bankruptcies:
1922-22,46 1884 ,286; 1924-41, 1924;
1925-44236
while farm bankruptcies increased, commercial
failures decreased. This is the quicksand basis
of family farming today. Stripped of its old sub
sides it has begun to demand new subsidies
from congress; for example the equalization
fee in the McNary-Haugen bill which would really
mean subsidy to keep them going Without or
ganzation, due to its isolation, and surrounded by
the keenest commercial and financial competition

way out of their troubles but to
fight to the last.
The oppression Of the peasant
movement is not an accident, it has
its history. Since the incident of
March 20, 1920, and the reorganiza-
ton of party affairs in May, 1926,
the Kwangtung peasants were dis
satisfied with the Kwangtung gov
eminent and already had the slogan
Down with the new militarists."
These two incidents gave the bur-
eaucrats, compradores, CENTRES and
landlords the official support to re-
strict the activities of the Commu-
nists and the militant members in
the peasants unions. They again
represent the attempts of Kuomin-
tang to turn the peasants unions as
a mass organization into official or
gans under the direction of the gov
eminent.
The peasants union could not be
organized without the permission of
the peoples defense corps, which is
an organ of feudal forces to Cypress
the peasants. The new peasants
unions had to be registered in the
official administration, which had
the power to rule over them, even in
matters such as their dissolution and
the appointment of their executive
