Despite the generally recognized superiority of the United States in international polo, it is noteworthy that the British lead in the num- Der of high-goal players. Of the talent with a rating of ' goals or better, Britain has 25, the U. s. A. 20 and Argentina T.
 Tommy Hitchcock, the American ace. shares the maximum or TO- goal rating with Lewis Lacey of the Argentine. Winston Guest, the former Yale star, is the only American among six 9goal players. The others are the Indian Nawab of Bhopal and four Britons-Major Atkinson, Captain Pat Roark, J. A. E. Traill and Wing Commander Wise.
 On the handicap ratings, Britain could muster a 36-goal team as compared with an American maxi mum of 35, composed of Hitchcock, Guest, young Sarle Hopping, ETC Pedley or Averell Hartman, yet the Yankee riders galloped roughshod ever the last British challengers, in 1927.

years. since they taken from Span and to esab

Hitherto, homereturning generals have made

distinction between sefgovernment and independence
using the diplomatic language of the mperat freebooter
Washington will continue to ride booted and spurred,

agricultural rents" against the
high railroad tariffs" against the
wheat spectators" and unite with
the large landowners under new slo
gans: against the high labor
wages" Against the organization
Of agricultural laborers." This har-
rnony Of the large and small land
owners lasted, however, only during
the strike, because Immediately aft
erwards the small farmers again re-
sumed their propaganda against the
large landowners as we'll as against
the workers.
Protest Govt Action.
The syndicalist local trade union
federation of Buenos Aires called
an open-air mass meeting to pro-
test against the governments inter
ference in a strike in a distant
province where the local government
Gid not find it necessary to inter-
vene. The government prohibited
the meeting and the unions had to
meet in small hall. Thereupon
the Communist Party and both So
cialist parties, the socialist party
and the independent socialist
party" organized meetings in
Buenos Aires to protest against the
sending of troops to Santa Fe, but
ell meetings were prohibited by the
police. Such prohibitions of meet
ings are extremely unusual in Ar
gentina. The Communists decided
to hold the meeting in spite of the
prohibition. But the police appeared
and pulled down every speaker as
soon as he mounted the platform.
Codovilla, Romo and few others
were arrested, but had to be re-
leased because they had not violated
any law. The police dispersed the
meeting with fists and clubs.
The next day the two socialist
parties held their mass meetings in
spite of the prohibition by the po-
lice. This time, however, the police
pretended to ignore the existence of
these open-air meetings. The So
cialist speaker, far from pointing
out the danger of looming die
tatorship, rejoiced over the fact that
the government recognized it's er-
ror in trying to prohibit the meet
ings. The speakers Of both social
list parties emphasized that they are
fighting for the prestige of the ma
tional army if they oppose it's being
used for strikebreaking purposes.

ARGENTINE Govt Attacks
Strikers, Bans Meetings

BUENOS AIRES, March 2S.-One
of the first acts of the recently in
augurated radical" President Fri
goyen, elected with an overwhelm-
ing majority as the popular can
didate against the conservative wing
of the radical party" was to decree
Intervention" in the province of
Santa Fe, without previous author
ization of the congress. "Interven-
ton" is the Argentine legal express
sion for the invasion of an autono-
nous province by federal troops, by
orders of the federal government,
for the purpose of removing the
governor and the provincial admin
istration and parliament, elected by
that province, and replacing them
by federal appointees. This has
been frequently done by federal
governments to suppress hostile
provincial administrations, under
the pretext of the discovery Of cor
ruption or of inability of the local
government to maintain order.
Failed to Attack Strikers.
The latter pretext was used by
Irigoyen recently to Intervene" in
the province of Santa Fe, to depose
the governor and local government
and to arrest the governor. One of
the accusations against the govern
ment of Santa Fe was that it had
failed to protect the peasants and
small landowners against the strik-
ing agricultural laborers. Thus the
Irigoyen government posed as the
friend of the small landowners
whose organization, the Federation
Agraria Argentina" is continuously
fighting the large landowners and
was once under socialist control.
The federal soldiers sent to Santa
F'e Immediately prohibited all meet
ings of the strikers and dissolved all
labor organizations. The leaders
were arrested and all places in
which workers gathered were closed
and occupied by the troops. The
strike was broken. In the mean
time the wheat harvest season had
passed, but the federal army re-
NAMED to prevent trouble during
the forthcoming maize harvest, for
which the workers are preparing.
Irigoyen, by sending troops for
the protection of the small farmers,
hoped that they would give up their
"olitical slogans: against the high

white groups.
/ was a resident of the valley for
five years, until forced to leave the
latter part of January. 1929, be-
cause of racial, economic and social
oppression, and threatened physical
violence. During this time l had
been initiated into every phase of
agricultural work, both as an agri-
cultural laborer and tenant farmer
and share cropper. l have picked
cotton, cleared land, built bitches
end planted cotton and alfalfa.
Each year the economic pressure
forces more and more farmers and
their children to abandon their
homesteads. Tenancy and share
cropping is only carried on at the
point Of minimum existence in many
instances. However, the plight of
the agricultural laborer is deplor-
able. Very few can be sure of $50
steady days in the entire year. Most
Of the owners are in debt beyond
any hope of redemption. Much of
the land has reverted to the state
for taxes.
There developed chatting on the
part of the blacks, whites and Mex
leans against these economic fet-
tiers, but it was blind and misdi-
rected and manifested itself in a
racial complex rather than a class
complex.

Race Discrimination in State

ir July, 1928, published a vicious
and slanderous attack against Ne
gro workers and farmers in the
Falo Verde Times.
Because of my radical inclina-
tons, had already been singled
out for destruction. l had been
guilty CT advocating decent wages
and living conditions for cotton
pickers of all races, black, white
and Mexicans, and equal school ac-
commodations. Another factor
which contributed toward my I'M
popularity was the fact that each
week distributed from 20 to 80
copies of the Negro Champion.
A concentrated drive was launched
in order to force the Negroes to ac-
cept separate schools. Persuasion,
intimidation, threats of unemploy-
ment and like measures were en-
ployed. However, a persistent agi-
rational program against the pro-
posed measure was kept up. Prof.
Geo. w. Scott, local school superin-
tendent, was determined to force the
Negroes and Mexicans to accept
separate schools.
Charlotte Anita Whitney, of Oak
land, came into the valley and de-
livered two stirring addresses, adj
vising us to stand firm. l also sold
copies OF the workers Party Plat
form" in front of the Masonic Hall
in Blythe, where the meeting was
held. This Infatuated the local au-
thorities. The Negroes boycotted
segregation attempts and sent their
children into the same rooms which
they previously occupied. The seq
regation plan collapsed. Mass soli-
darity won the struggle.
/ was singled out for much per-
secution because of my stand which
expressed itself in the following
forms:
1. Ny landlord, J. B. Keim, failed
to supply irrigation water accord
ing to contract, allowing most of my
cotton to burn up on the stalk.
2. My wife was terrorized and re-
fused county treatment by the local
county physician, DR.. Byers, and it
was only with extreme difficulty
that she was admitted to Riverside
County Hospital.
3. My three children were Dullied
and ostracized at school by direct
orders of the supervisory officials.
Frequently, the bus would deliber-
ately leave them and they would be
forced to walk four miles to school
along a sparsely populated country
road.

This attitude was subtly encour-
aged by the local administrative Of
ficials, the school authorities, local
ginners, bankers, etc. The issue of
separate schools was raised as an
objective in order to try to divide

THE recent fight against attempts
to segregate Negro and Mexican
children in the public schools in the
Palo Verde Valley, the cotton belt
of southern California, is highly in
teresting because it clearly illus

the races.
