is due here early in October to discuss with Her
pert Hoover, our president the question of
al agreement between the American and British
empires
Why the need of such an agreement so shortly
after the debace of 1914-1S that was TO end war
for all time?
Because the British and American imperialists
are ready to fly at each others throats as a
suit of the rivalry between the ruling classes of
both countries over world trade and world hege-
mOny. Trade follows the flag, the Bible and the
rum bottle and Uncle Sam has it all over John
Bull in the supply of inducements, excepting the
liquor which is beyond the ability of his bootleg
gers to supply in sufficient quantity and quality
to spur the purchasing proclivities of the potential
customers But Sam has the dough and with
money one can do most anything. Uncle Sans
mighty fleet is preparing to contest supremacy of
the with the battleships of the British Empire.
And John Bull is quaking in his shoes John Bull
has hitherto succeeded in sinking every fleet that
challenged his naval overlordship. Spain, France,
Holland, Denmark and Germany had to strike
their flags to the admirals of the British navy.
But John is up against it now. Hence the resur-
rected chatter about an Anglo-American alliance
and naval parity.
Coincident with the announced visit of Ramsay
ddCDOhdlu, we nave an investigation IN Washing
ton of the lobbying activities of the big armament
companies that favor bigger and better navy and
are willing to pay down big money to influence
congress in that direction. William B. Shearer is
put on the grill and that notorious lobbyist seems
to be booked for the role of goat in the comedy.
President Hoover, who seems to be more concern
ed over the interests of the British Empire than
with the welfare of the American farmers got
quite angry when he learned that battleship mag
mates were buttonholing congressman and sena-
tors, urging them to vote for larger naval appro-
priations Well, now, it's a good thing the naive
Hoover learned of this plot in timel 1t might
hurt the feelings of his British Majesty to know
that while the president of the United States was
talking naval peace the fellows who really count
the Wall Street magnates-were getting ready
for war.
To make long story short, the upshot of the
Investigation and the confab between Hoover and
Macdonald can be predicted to mean more battle
ships. The agents of the two empires are simply
sparring for an opening. When that opening is
considered favorable to one side or the other there
will be a war and it will be a war for democracy
or some other shibboleth. War is as indigenous to
the capitalist system as his odor is to pole cat

WITH MALICE TOWARD NONE

That alcohol bears no malice toward its sworn
enemies but treats friend and foe with the same
strict impartiality has been amply proven in the
case of DR.. Edward S. Shumaker, superintendent
OF the Indiana Anti-Saloon League and vigorous
law enforcer, who recently served an extended
prison sentence for contempt of court
DIR. Shumaker, claiming to be in poor health
started taking tonic containing 1890 alcohol. His
health Immediately showed improvement and he
gained eight pounds in weight in ten days.
Now the enemies of law and order" namely
those who are opposed to prohibition, took cog
nizance of the Doctors struggle for health via the
alcoholic route and made facetious comment in the
press on the strange case of the Anti-Saloon
League scofflaw
Came to the rescue of DR.. Shumaker the Rev. c.
d. Winders, chairman of the leagues headquarters
committee and veritable Rock of Gibralter in the
defense of righteousness and respect for law "All
this scandal about DR.. Shumaker is much ado about
nothing" snOrted Rev. Winders, and then proceed
ed to expound the virtues of the "tonicn which is
restoring the old blush Of health to the wan cheeks
of the anti-rum crusader
The Indianapolis newspapers thot they were hav-
ing lot of fun at the expense of the prohibition
leader but the joke was on them, for it came to
pass that the health giving liquid is now being nut
on the market and is reported to be owned nv
prominent Anti-Saloon League members.
Dr. Shumaker served as an outstanding advar-
tsement for its healing virtues

THE WHEAT HOLD-UP

l.. c. Miller, progressive editor of that fighting
farmers weekly, The Bowbells Tribune in a ring
ing editorial gives the farmers some advice on
how to deal with the big grain interests whose
control of storage facilities place the wheat grow
ers almost at their mercy. The editorial reads:
Hand over your wheat for what we want to
give you," is the utimatum the big grain interests
have given the wheat farmers. And the big fell
lows in a position to make the hold-up effec-
tive. Through their control of storage facilities
at the terminal markets they have the small coun-
Try elevators and the farmers absolutely at their
mercy The big grain interests are in position to
make the man in the country elevator either buy
the farmers wheat and sell it to them at the pre-
vailing low price, or force hem to close up and
quit business. And the hOld-up is well planned and
ruthlessy executed. Grain is being sold that would
otherwise have been stored for a period at any
rate and no one doubts that the farmer is taking
a loss of considerable proportions
There is only one way you can stop this out
rage. Store the wheat the farm and keep it
there long as possible. There is no other way.
This has been advised by this paper for some
weeks, and was the advice we gave quite while
before the threshing actually began The same ad-
vice given by other papers that wanted the
farmers to get a fair shake on their wheat crop
this year. That the advice has been followed 20
a large extent is certain, but there are evidently
still a number of farmers hauling direct from
threshing rig to the elevators. This should soon
be over, for with fair weather 10 the end of this
week there should be very little left to thresh ex
cept flax And that will not run heavily this year.
Our advice to the farmers who have wheat still
unthreshed not yet hauled is don't haul single
bushel until you absolutely MUST sell, unless your
elevator can handle your grain on a storage basis
Even so, the best way to forestall the hold-up is
not to haul at all until you yourself believe you
justified in selling"

Melons e. & !. Police Frame
Up Laborers For Shooting

Pittsburgh, Pa The Pennsyl-
vania Coal & Iron police, instru-
ments of the Mellon dictatorship m
Pennsylvania, are now out to get
Salvatore Accorsi, a worker Oh
Staten Island, and send him to the
chair for protesting the fate of
Sacco and Vanzetti two years ago.
Accorsi was arrested in Staten
Island, charged with the murder
of a state trooper at Cheswick,
Pa, August %, 1927, when a troop
of Cossacks rode down 1000 miners
at a Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration.
/. L. ID. Fights ExtraditiOn
Accorsi's extradition 10 Pennsyl-
vania was fought by the New
York International Labor Defense,
which charged that he had not
been indicted on any charge. On
those grounds, extradition was pre-
vented and third-degree torture
in Pennsylvania was avoided.
But the Pennsylvania steel and
coal barons saw to it that an in
dictment would be pushed against
Accorsi and they succeeded yes
terday. That means that Accorsi
will be taken to Pennsylvania to
stand trial.
Arrest Made After Two Years
He was arrested two years at
ter the shooting took place. He
was alleged To have fled pennsvf-
vania after the Cheswick brutal
ties, the Pennsylvania authorities
claimed. AS a matter of fact Ac-
corsi worked for seven months af-
ter the demonstration three miles
outside of Cheswick.

American Engineering Firm to
Build New Soviet Union City

Cleveland, Ohio.-Soviet Russia
is one of the countries which glow
translucently on an electrically
lighted earth globe in the office of
a man in Cleveland. The man is
not vain, but last week he looked
with kindling pride at a point on
the globe 270 miles east of Mos

between the Okla and Volga rivers.
On that point he has pledged him
self 30 build in the short space of
10 months a wholly new city for
$4,000 Russians. The Soviet Gov
eminent has agreed to pay him for
his work $50, 200, 000-in dollars, in

of its kind in Soviet history-was
signed last week. Contentedly,

Following this research the Job
was to find an organization that
could do the work. Evidently the
American idea of doing big things
in big way appealed to the So
Wet representatives. The job has
come to an American concern.
However, it did not come over
night. We have been working
more than eight months on this
proposition"

The peaceful demonstration was
attacked by a patrol of State Po-
lice, who beat women, men and
children brutality over the heads
and backs with their clubs. One
miner suffered a broken neck and
a miners wife died subsequently
after her injuries.
One of the state police, John J.
Downey, who was brutally beat
ing a worker found his match when
the latter shot in self-defense. The
shooting went unsolved, until two
years afterward when the police
fastened upon Accorsi and are
ready to railroad him to the chair.

ing to dispatches, "The contract is
years. You will receive a large
bonus if you complete the work in
less than Is months. In compliment
to your company we shall probably
call the city Austingrad."
Austingrad will be the Detroit
of Red Russia. Primarily it is in
tended as the Soviet focus of mot
or car manufacture, and $20,000,-
600 of the contract will be spent OH
car and tractor plants built for the
latest type of Straight line mass
production. Three hundred motor
vehicles per day will represent not
peak but conservative average pro-
duction. From Austingrad skilled
Communist service station men will
60 out to spread through pastoral
Russia the gospel of mechanics and
motive power.
Water and Sewerage System
In the U. S., the Austin Co. has
laid out the famed proving
grounds of General Motors, built a
foundry for Cadillac, put up in rec
ord time the Oakland Pontiac
plant. Similarly in Austingrad
there will be a proving ground,
foundries for grey iron, malleable
iron, brass, aluminium, and separ-
ate but coordinated shops for every
phase of automotive construction
bodies, radiators, wheels, springs.
Even the water and sewage sys-
TENS will be laid by Austin, and
the contract price includes a the
atre, library, civic centre, fire de-
partment, laundry, electric and gas
plants, schools, office buildings,
homes and dormitories for factory
apprentices. There will be, of
course, no church. Specifications
call for such typically U. S. de-
tails as automatic fire sprinkler
systems in all buildings.
To Employ Local Labor
Few concerns would dare con-
tract to build such a city in Is
months. Gigantic specialist, the
Austin Co. keeps in stock all es-
sential parts of a carefully stand
ardized line of buildings, is expert
at getting these assembled by 10
cal labor. Thus only Austin engi-
neers will go to Austingrad and
all the actual assembling and con-
struction on the spot will be done
by Russians. From the founding
Of the company it has sloganed:
undivided Responsibility" - the
idea that every phase of construct
ing a factory, an airport or a city
like Austingrad should be covered
by a single contract, the company
to be responsible for everything.
