The closing address Of the after E. Welles of Hartford. president of the Connecticut w. c. T. U.. who took for her subject, Which Way Does the Wind Blow?" Mrs. Welle3 made a plea for total abstinence as representing the climax of normal civilized growth. She said, If l did not believe that total abstinence is the only safe rule of life for the in- dividual, I could not believe in pre- hibition for the nation. Our 18th amendment rests on the present day discoveries of the effects of alcohol on the human body and on the need of the complete abolishment of the manufacture and sale of beverage alcohol in this mechanical age"
 Mrs. Welles referred to the state organizations opposed to the 18th amendment and said:
 Tt sounds quite like Utopia to hear them tell of their plan for the future welfare of the country, not a saloon anywhere, not a bootlegger. their inherent rights restored to the states. freedom of choice given back 10 mankind. the country again ring ing true to its Anglo-SaXon inherit ance, and all the people moral, sober and temperate. not totally ab- stinent It really seems like reform until they present their immediate plan of working for the repeal of state enforcement acts, one by ono, and We know that means revolt and
 nullifcatlon, ugly words to use in connection with a betterment of con- diuons. We know too that their use Of the word temperate IS that Of the 18th century and that present day civilization has brought back tha cid Greek definition of temperance: moderation in the use of helpful things. abstinence from those which are harmful. We know that medi- 1 cal research has proven beyond a
 doubt that alcoholic liquor always ! has harmful effect on the human body and can not safely be used in l this mechanical age. We know there can be no sane solution which permits the return of any
 kind of legal traffic in beverage al- cohol. We must stand by this pro-
 toctive amendment and the concur rent state acts. We must 'agitate,

and you can't pay. You can't join a
cooperative without turning in CAPT
tai or raising it by a loan from the
bankers. And whe you can't do
that, as most of the poor farmers
can't, you're left out, that's all.
Farmer: But how do they do it diff
ferently in Soviet Russia?
Communist: BY revolution the
workers and farmers seized the gov
eminent power from capitalists and
landlords and abolished private prop
erty in land. 1t belongs to the nation
and the farmers paid no rent, but
only taxes in what they raised. Many
big estates, more all the time, are
farmed by the government as Soviet
farms. Then recently 100000 small
farms were united into $1,000 "CoI-
lective" farms; land, machinery, ami
mails, everything. And the Workers
and Farmers GoVernment-not the
private banks as here-gives them
credit, sets up machine repair and
tractor stations to help them pillow
and sow.
This way, with less work, the same
number of farmers farm more land,
get better yields per acre (the gov
eminent gives them the best seed),
and each makes a better living work.
ing with others than by himself.
They build big community houses

Kitchens, Iaundries, and SO on, to
make women's lives easier, and have
theatres, libraries, schools. Here in
America there are a few large scale
farms, but nothing like that, is there?
Farmer: I should say not! Here
we poor farmers are shut out and the
big farms belong to one rich farmer
or a company They have the trac-
tors and we have a spawned mule or
two.
Communist: Correct; and what's
more even they can't use tractors to
the full capacity. while on Soviet
farms they run day and night and
reduce costs that way.
Farmer; Gosh, that's wonderful.
And you say they got that by making
a revolution? I've seen a war be-
tween capital and labor coming a
