BIG MOVE OF PEASANTS
TO SOVIET COLLECTIVES;
CORRECTFORMER ERROR
In Uskorsk Peasants Who Left Return, With
$50 Additional
Extend Area Sown by New Labor Methods and
Organization

MOSCOW ZIP. SD.-Numerous
reports from the Ukraine, the Volga
district, the German districts, the
Tartar republic and the Don Basin
show that in those places where the
peasants left the collective under
takings in consequence of the wrong
Interpretation Of the Party policy
by lower officials, ETC., there is now
exactly the opposite process going
on. New members for the cooper
atives are coming from amongst
those peasants who had left the
Collectives and from amongst those
who had previously stood aloof.
In the Uskorsk collective agricul-
tural undertaking, which is in the
German Volga Republic, the correc-
ton of the errors made resulted in
the winning back of all those peas
ants who had left the undertaking
and $50 peasant farms in addition.
Similar phenomena are to be OBJ
served in other districts also. In
the seven districts Of the lower
Volga district $500 peasants have
withdrawn their designations from
the collective undertakings and
great activity is now proceeding for
the spring sowings. In particular,
the activity of the shock brigades

WASHINGTON, April 18.-A
series of conferences have been
called by Hoover to rush the three
power treaty through the senate.
Some opposition is expected from
senators who want to build eighteen
10O00-ton cruiers Immediately in
stead of the fifteen temporarily
agreed upon.
Hoover's purpose in rushing the
treaty through the senate is to use
it as part of his pacifist campaign
material to hide the tremendous in
crease in ornaments and the rabid
fight for world arkets that is now
going on, intensifying the war
danger.

in those collective undertakings
which have already cQFnmenced with
the spring sowings has made deep
impression on the peasants accus-
toned only to their old ways of
working and the result has been a
new impetus to the recruiting for
the collectives.
In the Ukrainia the collective I'M
dertakings are engaged in the spring
sowings. In many districts the new
labor methods and rational organ
ization, plus the enthusiasm of the
peasants, have already concluded
The original plans and are now ex-
tending the area under seed and
assisting the individual peasant
farmers. The agricultural COM
munes, "Red Guerilla" Comm
term" "Red October" and "Ilyitch,"
have finished their sowings with
splendid results. The Party organ
izations are making intensive prop
uganda for the new methods of
work, propaganda columns are on
the move and agitation groups en-
tighten the peasants during their
rest pauses concerning the advan-
tages of the new methods. The
peasants are also being provided
with newspapers and books.

Both are Immediately connected in

The tariff is now being consid-

to Representative Collier, 'The
tariff conferees are writing the
highest tariff bill in history and
ignoring the promises of President
Hoover for limited revision" The
