BIG ACREAGE
IN TOMATOES
Valley viii Produce APP
pro1irnately 90 Percent
Of Early Crop

The Lower Rio Grande Valley
will produce approximately 40 per
cent of the early tomatoes this sea
son, according to the estimate Of
the U. S. department Of agricul-
ture, planting in the Valley being
the heaviest on record.
The Valley has approximately T.
$50 acres, according to the depart
ment's survey. The Florida acre
age is approximately 5000 and the
Imperial Valley Of California l.
400. The total in the early produc-
ing areas is 25,5o0 as compared
with 2i,640 in 1923 and 24,100 in
1927.
AS a result Of the revolution,
shipments from the Mexican West
Coast this season have been mea-
ger. Rail shipments have practi-
cally ceased. and a few Tugs are
moving out by boat. Water ship
mentS are light, due to the fact
no rail connections are provided to
ports. Both Valley and Florida
growers are expected to profit from
the reduction Of shipments from
Mexico, the trade forecaSting a
very profitable season.
The acreage Of second early"
tomatoes is slightly less than last
year, and the crop will go onto the
market two to three weeks later
as q result Of late freezes in the
upper Gulf coast and Atlantic coast
sections. The upper Gulf coast of

1.-THE country to outdoor meetings and
demonstrations than ever before, es-
pecially in New York. This proves
conclusively that the Party was alb
solutely correct in raising the slo-
gan, calling for partial down tools.
Similarly in the other important
campaign, in the campaign of Gas
tonia, Lovestone objects raising the
slogan of self-defense, calling that
'Putchism," just like he and Brand
lerites are accusing the German
Party of resorting to "Putchist"
tactics during the last May Day in
Berlin. When workers in Gastonia
are defending their right to organ
ize against brutal attacks of armed
police, Lovestone maintains that the
Party is wrong in raising the slogan
of right to organize unions, and
right to defend their organization
and that the old slogan of Frame
up" is sufficient. This again shows
that Lovestone does not see that we
are living in the Third Period, when
not only external conditions but also
internal conditions of class strug
giles are sharpening and workers re-
sistance is growing and that in these
conditions, apologetical "Frame-up"
slogan is not sufficient. Lovestone
does not see that Gastonia is the
very proof of estimation of Sixth
World Congress, that Third Period
as to the sharpening of class stru-
gle, is applicable in America, and
already here. What is significant, is
that also the renegade Trotskyite
Cannon agrees fully in his Mill
tant" with Lovestone, ridiculing our
slogan of right to self-defense, re-
garding Gastonia case. Against this
conception of Lovestone and Cannon,
Gastonia is living proof of correct
ness of estimation of Communist

of American class struggle,
Also in the third major campaign

that is why he has travelled further

As our Party is going ahead with
its practical tasks in the every day
class struggles and is sharpening its
line in accordance with the line laid
down by the Communist Interna-
tional, the distinction between Party
line and the line followed by Love
stone and his supporters, becomes
clearer and clearer. So it is not only
Lovestone's social-democratic con-
ception of discipline, which has
caused his expulsion, but it is mainly
the question of his following political
line, which is contradictory to the
line of Comintern and the line fol-
lowed by our Party.
In all the three main campaigns
that our Party is presently engaged,
Lovestone follows a different line
and says so openly.
For instance, when our Party was
preparing for Red Day with the slo-
gan Down Tools" Lovestone in his
circular ridicules this slogan, saying
that it is empty talk" Although
we are in the midst of attack of
combined imperialist world against
Soviet Union, Lovestone does not
see the reason why Party should
sharpen its slogans in order to give
an added impression for workers to
rally for defense of Soviet Union and
fight against imperialist war prepa-
rations. Neither does he understand
that we are living in the period
when class struggle is taking ever
sharper forms and workers are
showing growing desire for struggle
and thereby Party is correct in
sharpening its slogan. LoYestone' S
ridiculing this slogan for Red Day
also shows that he is underestimate
ing the danger of attack against the
Soviet Union in the very moment
when this attack is already in pro-
cess. And what is significant is
that on Red Day, which has just
been concluded, the Party was able
to rally greater masses all over

tacking Communist International as
running sore" He is living in the
old fractional atmosphere and is or
ganizing his insignificantly small
fraction for struggle against the
Party, just when Party is busy with
growing and sharpening class strug-
gle.
! After criticism of Comintern about
our Party political line, Lovestone
and his adherents are still arguing
about "primacy of external condi-
tions." This follows from what Co.
mintern has said in its Address to
our Party: These errors found eX-
preston in overestimating American
imperialism and putting question of
inner and outer contradictions in q
wrong way, which led to the obscur-
ing of inner contradictions of Amer
lean capitalism. p. Party has cor
rected this errer and taken into its
heart the advise of the Comintern
in it's Address to our Party, where
it says: "In America too, the funda-
mental contradictions of capitalism
- the contradictions between the
growth of the productive forces and
the tagging behind of markets - is
becoming more accentuated." In the
light of this criticism, Party realized
that internal and external contradic-
tions are inter-related and that you
cannot speak about "primacy of eX-
ternal contradictions" as Lovestone
and his small opposition group does

dictions clearly, leads in "underesti-
mating American reformism which
