Ohio Crop Report-Nov.1

The November / estimate for the
Ohio corn corp is 125, ,564, 600
bushels, the same as was indicated
in the forecast one month ago. Pro
duction this season, says G. S. Ray
Of the Federal Crop Reporting SER
vice, is around 100000 bushels
less than last year, when about an
average crop was grown. mdica-
tions point to yield of only 355
bushels per acre compared with
37.5 bushels in 1928 and 39.1 BUSH
els, the ten-year average. Some of
the crop was quite late in maturing
this season and this fact, together
with rather unfavorable weather
for husking in parts of state, late
in October, resulted in considerable
corn being still in the shock on
November /. Growers estimate that
rs per cent of the crop is of mer-
chantable quality this year against
81 per cent last season and 70 per
cent, the ten year average. Stocks
of old corn on Ohio farms Nov. /
amounted to about 3,418,000 bush
els compared with stocks one year
ago of 1,426,000 bushels from the

Hoover Gives the Big

the existance, simultaneously, of a
new state apparatus in the form of
an open fascist grouping of 200
leading capitalists, rich farm organ

brotherhoods.

machine of direct action of the capi-
talist class in the present crisis.

republican leaders for keeping him.
self too huch in the background dur
ing the special session which closed
several weeks ago, but the imper-
ialist chief was looking elsewhere
for an apparatus that could initiate
wage-cuts, and a general attack on
the Americn workers.
Congress is becoming too unwieldy
for Wall Street and its political eX-
ecutive committee in Washington in
handling the economic slump.
The inability of the big bankers
to have their tariff bill passed at
the special session led Hoover when
the severity Of the depression in in
dustry became evident, with its
growing mass unemployment, tc
bring the leading imperialists into
open governmental leadership in the
form of the fascist economic coun,

u. s. WANTS NO
NAVY REDUCTION
Admit Conference Will
Increase Armaments

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Ameri-
can officials here indicate that their
efforts at the naval conference will
fe concentrated Oh parity not re-
duction, and that they expect con-
siderable increases in actual arna-
ments. While Great Britain is
planning to make considerable in
creases in its naval strength, espe-
cially cruisers, the United States is
determined to equal, if not exceed,
the British forces.
In signed article in the Scripps-
Howard newspapers today, Philip
Sims, foreign editor, makes the open
admission that the naval conference
is expected to increase rather than
to decrease construction Of war;
ships.
Latest news from Paris. indicates
that instead of keeping away from
the naval conference at London, as
a result of sharp conflicts with other
imperialist countries and especially
Italy, the French government in
tends to participate in order to claim
that it is for peace" and to intro
duce a number Of proposals which
will remove even a theoretical limit
to naval armaments.
The fundamental point of the
French demands is that every coun-
try must have a right to sufficient
strength to defend" itself against
all possible enemies. AS the Kel-
logg pact may be used as an excuse
for all wars under the claim, al
ways advanced, of being "defen-
sive," the French give the excuse
to the workers that unlimited con-
struction of warships is necessary
for defense" against all possible
combination of imperialist powers.

worker and one of the outstanding
leaders of revolutionary labor in
Latin America, was arrested by the
Mexican government on November
7, at Mexico City, at the instigation
of the real ruler of Mexico, the
Yankee ambassador, Dwight W
Morrow. He may be deported to
his death in Cuba, since Machado's
assassins are awaiting hin, there.
While the information from Mex
lean sources lacks in detail, it is
known that Junco was seized as an
undesirable" namely, as one who
is leading the fight of Latin Amer
lean labor against American i'm
perialism, and therefore has fallen
under the vengeful fist of the Portes
Gil-Calles- -Rubio regime, that is
servant to American Imperialism.

plantation workers in Cuba some
three years ago. has already a sem
