|POTATOP PRICE
CUT TO $3.75
Market Conditions Do Not
Justify Reduction, AS
ISOLATION Head Says

The potato market again is "be-
ing shot to pieces" by shipment OF
immature potatoes and u~nderquot-
ing, is the claim of Fred Latham,
president of the Rio Grande Val
ley Growers association. .
Latham reported that the adviS-
DRY board of the association had
been compelled to reduce the price
from $500 f. o. b. and $.375 cash
to S3.75 f. o. b. and $3.50 cash,
Notwithstanding the fact the mar
ket is firm and the demand steady
so far as the central markets are
concerned, no cut in price was just
ified," the association head said in
discussing the situation. But the
potato growers are insisting that
they get immediate cash for their
potatoes and are delivering them to
anybody who will pay cash, throw
ing away whatever control the as
ISOLATION should have. If the grow
ers continue to follow this course
the association cannot be held re-
SponSible for the ruin of the pres
ent deal. Likewise, practically all
potatoes that have been shipped
have been immature, and this is
bound to react. The ill effects of
this will show up when they arrive
at destination.
1.-The growers cannot expect the
association to maintain a 4-per cent
quotation when they themselves are
soliciting sales of three cents of
less for cash, making a spread of
IS cents to $1.00 per hundred. With
this spread some outsiders are GER
tain to sell for less and accept their
profit.
These cash prices are being
broadcast over the country and the

capitalism, hateful ISLANDERS against
the Soviet Union and against the
Communist Parties, forgeries and
provocations, all these measures
have been used and are still being
used by the bourgeoisie in its strug-

All the efforts of the bourgeoisie,
however, have proved unsuccessful.
The Communist international con-

Growing Crisis of Capitalism.
The past ten years have exposed
and destroyed the illusions concern
ing the stability of capitalism. In
the years of the first imperialist
war, the imperialists and their So
cial democratic allies told the whole
world that it was a war to end war
and that its conclusion would bring
about a publication of capitalism,
an era of permanent peace and the
determination of the peoples.
In reality, however, the war to
end war presented us with the old
contradictions more intensified than
ever. q The antagonisms between the
imperialist countries are growing.
The conditions for a new imperialist
war are accumulating, particularly
in connection with the struggle be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States for world hegemony. Arma-
ments are greater than ever and
behind the scenes the diplomats are
organizing new politico-military
agreements.
The revolutionary movement in
the colonial and semi-colonial coun-
tries is growing. Unemployment is
extending and the class struggle in
the capitalist countries is intensity
ing. The Soviet Union is growing
and strengthening and threatening
the basis of world imperialism

ing a new world war which must enc

world war ended with the breakdown
Of the imp --ialist front and the es

against the Soviet Union will give
the system of world Imperialism The
last and final blow.
Socialists Aid Capitalism.
In it's struggle against the grow
ing revolutionary crisis, the bour
geoisie has found loyal ally in thu
social democracy. The last ter
years have confirmed beyond al
doubt the fact that the social democ
racy has finally broken with Marx
