PROPOSED ROAD
OF INTEREST TO
VALLEY CHAMBER

Much information has come 20 the
Fl Centre Chamber Of Commerce
from Yorba Linda on the subject of
the proposed Imperial highway. This
highway will start at the Paclflc
ocean. north of FL Segundo and run
easterly to Brea, and will continue
on through Yorba Linda, Santa Ana
canyon, Corona, Riverside and Ban
ming, thus open a new entrance to
Imperial Valley from Los Angeles
and more southern coast cities, which
will avoid much of the heavy traffic
encountered on the present highway
routes.
II is stated that the entire dis,
tancc when completed will not have
a right angle turn, nor will it dcvi-
ate one mile north or south. The
highway will be paved, 100 feet
wide and the fact that 20 miles of
the proposed route is already paved,
part Of which is the required width,
would indicate that the work could
be completed within comparative
IL short time and, in addition to
serving the coast cities would open
a route which would permit Imper-
ial Valley ears to reach Los Angeles
much more quickly.
At a meeting held recently in
Yorba Linda, representatives from
all localities affected by the propos-
ed Imperial highway were present
and ali angles of the situation were
discussed. Los Angeles county rep
resentativcs who realize the wonder
full development that follows high
way of this kind, impressed upon
those present the Importance of this
highway, which would be the most
direct route from the ocean to I'm
perial Valley with its almost limit.
less resources. 1t requires but little
effort of imagination to vision the
tremendous amount of traffic that
would take advantage Of this high
way. Steps have already been taken
TO change the name of some of the
boulevards which will help make up
the route to Imperial highway and
rights of way have been obtained in
several eases.

DABNEY FAILED
AS MIRACLE MAN

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5. WH-
While ether members of the Great
Eleven cult sat spellbound beside the
5edv of a member who had passed
away, Clifford Il. Dabnev, wealthy
oil man and cultist, made a dramatic
effort to perform a miracle and
bring the dead to life.
This was testified To-Day at the
grand theft trial of Mrs. May Otis
Blackburn. leader of the mystic re
ligious order. whom Dahney claims
defrauded him Of $4,000 by elab-
crate promises.
"A number OF the cult members
had gathered around the body" said
Claude Steffin, defense witness.
"Suddenly after sitting with his
hands over his eyes in deep medita
tion, Dabney leaped to his feet, ran
over to the body, snapped his fingers
three times and shouted, Hey, hey,
hey."
The body. however. failed to re-

CRISIS GRIPS
LATIN AMERICA
Militant Strug gle S
Developing Fast

The economic crisis is sweeping
Latin America into the throes of
militant labor struggles and revo-
luton.
AS most Latin American coun-
tries depend more or less on one
specialized industry, the slump in
one particular industry will leave
a certain country helplessly desti-
tute. For instance, the slump in
coffee is seriously affecting Brazil,
the unprecedented drop in the price
of sugar is having serious effect
on Cuba, and the fact that the bot
tom has dropped out of meat,
wheat, tropical products, cotton,
copper, tin, silver, etc., are under
mining the economic positions of
the other Latin American countries.
The rapid rehabilitation of the
Latin American workers and peas
antry is the necessary consequence
of such economic conditions. I'M
fortunately, owing to the lack of a
strong organized Communist lead
ership in the labor movement, the
profound discomfort of the masses
has not yet been consolidated intok
a strong, concerted revolutionary
movement. But the seed for such
a movement is already sown and
the fruit is already growing very
rapidly.
The fact that, within the last few
days, militant labor struggles oc-
Cured in Cuba, Mexico, Brazil,
Honduras, Paraguay, and the work
ers and peasants almost captured
power in Bolivia testify that the
revolutionary movement in Latin
America is digging deep and spread
ing fast.

CONTINUE FIGHT
ON RIGHT WING
Claim Statements of
Rights Is Insincere
(Wireless By Inprecorr)

MOSCOW, July AT the Con-
gress discussion, Rykov followed
Tomsky, declaring the demand that
he should attack his former COM
panions was unreasonable, since the
errors were committed jointly and
have been jointly abandoned. He
admitted that the errors strength
ened the resistance of the petty
bourgeoisie against socialism. The
chief error consisted in the under
estimation of the possibilities of
Specialization. He withdrew his
statement against the Party regim
and declared that he was prepared
to do everything to make good his
error.
At the morning session on June
30 Kirov of Leningrad accused
Tomsky and Rykov of forgetting
the main questions. He 7ummed up
the errors of the right wingers as
kulak program. He warned the
Party against trusting the right
wing declarations, particularly in
view of Bukharin's silence. Other
speakers supported Kirov and &C.
cused the right wingers particu-
larry of lip service without any
practical fight against deviations.
Kossior, Dubnov, Lominadse, Sikh
ryatoy and Rudsutak described the
right wing statements as unsatis-
factory and hypocritical.
At the morning session of July
Petrovski demanded that Bukharin
make a clear cut statement once
for all. Krupskaya stressed the ur-
gent necessity of the liquidation of
the kulaks as class, showing that
Lenin held the kulaks equally dan
gerous with the landowners and
capitalists. The restoration of cap
italism is possible as long as the
kulak power is unbroken. Unity is
absolutely necessary, and the right
wing opposition must therefore be
destroyed like the Trotskyist. Bau-
mann and Syrzov also attacked the
right wingers.

move is clearly both directed against
the Soviet Union and the United
States of America.
The French national committee of
the Councillors of Commerce, which
devoted its Tuesday session to the
consideration of the American
tariff, passed an important resolu-
ton, which contains the following
categorical statement of the policy
of the French bourgeoisie:
"The committee invited the pub
lie authorities to revise our tariff
policy and our policy of CONNER
cial agreement to accord henceforth
the benefit of a minimum tariff in
whole or in part only to such coun-
tries as accord corresponding ad-
vantages to us-that is to say, to
those whose tariffs leave possibili-
ties for reasonable commercial ex-
change"
Whatever the outcome of the
Mills mission will be, it is safe to
say that it will not even be able
to mitigate the seriousness of the
conflict for some length of time,
not to say solving the basic contra
dictions underlying these events.
The complicated network of con-
tradictions of modern capitalism is
such that a mitigation of the con-
flict does not only require a tenn
porary compromise between the
different capitalist countries, but
also a compromise between the war
ring industrial groups within GER
tain country. Any effort to reach
such a compromise is attempting
the impossible, and any one who ex-
poets any mitigation of the con-
flicts of imperialism at the present
to last long is doomed to disap-
pointment. Such conflicts can only
lead to wars and revolutions, which
are the dominant features of our
epoch, the epoch of dying capital
ism.

EUROPEAN ATTACKS ON

AMERICAN CAPITALISTS
Mills, Under-Secretary of Treasury, Goes to
Europe on Economic Mission
Capitalist Conflicts at Our Epoch Can Only
Lead to Wars and Revolutions

European capitalization is buzz
ing with warnings, protests and
plans for retaliation against the
American tariff, while Italy has
already struck the blow by raising
her tariff walls against American
imports.
1t is just at this moment that
Ogden L. Mills, the under-secretary
of the American treasury, sails for
Europe. Preparing to hide his
face in case the mission proves to
be failure, Mills, in the true fash
ion of bourgeois politicians, pre-
tends that he is going to Europe
solely for rest and recreation" al
though the whole world knows that
he is on IAN important economic
mission for President Hoover" as
the New York Times Paris CORE
spondent puts it.
That a section of the American
bourgeoisie is alarmed at the tariff
situation few will deny. The Euro
pean bosses are up in arms against
the American tariff. The automo-
bile manufacturers of France, Ger
many, Italy, Belgium and Great
Britain have already worked out a
plan which will cut down present
American sales abroad by at least
so per cent. The plan will be sub
mitted to the respective govern
ments of these countries for ap-
proval, and if the tariff rates in the
Smoot-Hawley law. stand as they
are now the plan will be most likely
approved by the governments.
The first Congress of the Euro
pean Tariff Union has just con-
eluded its sessions, with the dele
gates agreed to return home to
work hard for the organization of
an European Customs Union. The
delegates also came to an under
