ILandworkers, Peasants
in Italy in Ferment;
Fascist Terror Grows

From the Italian Frontier, (By
Inprecorr MaiD Recently troops
of fascists have been exercising a
reign of terror, particularly in the
agricultural districts. The reason
for this reign of terror is that in
consequence of the agrarian crisis
and the growing unemployment in
the countryside, the poor peasants
and the landworkers are in a fer
ment. Anyone daring to complain
of fascist crimes runs the danger Of
being accused of political activity
against fascism" with consequent
deportation or worse.
A typical example is reported
from Aguillara in the Province of
Padua. Last autumn two members
of the fascist militia, Macetto and
Canata, and member of the fas-
cist party, louisiana, attacked a
young woman with a baby in her
arms, overpowered her and violated
her. Both the young mother and
her baby died afterwards as re-
suit of this bestial atrocity of the
fascists. The mother of the MUIR
dered young woman reported the
atrocity to the authorities without
being able to secure the trial of the
fascist brutes responsible. The
three violaters and murderers are
still walking about the neighbor-
hood in perfect freedom to the Bit
ter indignation of the population.

u. S. ENGINEERS
WORK ON PLANS
FOR MACHINERY
Will Also Utilize New
Potash Discoveries

Plans for the construction in the
Soviet Union of a $10,000,000 fac
tory to produce synthetic ammonia
fertilizers are being prepared by the
Nitrogen Engineering Company of
New York. A contract calling for
the technical assistance of the Nitro
gen Engineering Company in the
construction and operation of the
fertilizer plant was ratified by the
Soviet Government last month, ac-
cording to an announcement made
yesterday by Paul G. Bron, chair
man of the board of directors of the
Amtorg Trading Corporation.
"The new synthetic fertilizer fac
tory, together with others which the
Soviet Government plans to con-
struct within the next five years,
will contribute substantially to sup
plying the large quantity of fertil-
izers required in order to raise the
productivity of the soil in the Soviet
Union," stated Bronn. "The big
problem today is to increase the out
put of agriculture at a sufficiently
rapid rate. This, we feel, can best
be accomplished by increasing the
yield per acre, which lat PRESENT is
very low, rather than by expanding
the area under cultivation. The
Soviet Government has decided to
develop intensively the production of
fertilizers as an important step in
attaining the goal set of increasing
the yield per acre 80 per cent in
five years. According to the pro-
gram, which provides not only for
the construction of factories to pro-
duce synthetic fertilizers but also
for the development of the large,
recently discovered potash deposits
in the Urals, production of fertil-
izers will be increased from 100000
tons last year to more than 5,000,-
900 tons by 1888"
