PAST YEAR SAW
EXCELLENT WORK
BY FARM BUREAU

During the past year, the Impe-
hieved many things to its credit,
perhaps the most important being
the improvement in the credit sit
uat;on through the collection for the
farmer of bad accounts and n. s.
F. checks by c. G. Halliday, attor
ney for the farm bureau.
Through his efforts farmers have
managed to secure money due them,
and what is even more beneficial
to the valley as a whole, many
dealers have realized that it will no
longer be possible to defraud the
valley ranchers is they have done in
the past. Many of these buyers
have been driven out, and the far
mer is now in position where he
can demand and receive cash for
his product.

In cooperation with the Associa

farm bureau was instrumental in
securing the position of guards at
the Trifolium and on the San Diego
highway for protection against
theft and for inspection purposes.
Other important projects of the
organization which have been ear
ried on in the past and which will
be continued in 1870 are the agita-
tion for the rc-entry of the feder-
al farm loans into the valley, and
the cooperation with the extension

At the Cooper Union meeting the
leaders of the Needle Trades Work

fight against the betrayal of the

organize shop committees and to
initiate strikes against the unbear-

ITAL|AN-GE:RMAN
WAR alliance IS
BEING FRAMED
Communists Call For
Aug. | Demonstration

A cable dispatch to the New York
Evening Post Friday states that
Italian imperialism is seeking war
alliance with the German capitalists
against France. The Post dispatch
says this information comes "from
high official German source, that
Italy had approached the German
Government with an offer of a
military alliance"
The French imperialists are
alarmed at this rapid war move. A
conference on this subject was held
between Louis Locheur, represent
ing the French, and DR.. Leopold Won
Hoesch, the German Ambassador in
Paris.
The rapid maneuver for war ALI
ances shows the growing war dang
er between the imperialist powers.
There is an arms race going on be-
tween France and Italy. A crisis
was reached several days ago in the
French chamber of deputies over
the growing sharp relations between
the French and Italian boss govern
ments.
Added to this, are the riots of the
German chauvinists in the Rhine
land against the separatists who
ask for severance from the German
republic and alliance with the
French. The French ambassador
Pierre de Margerie protested
against the riots. Taking advan-
tage of the worsening relations be.
tween the French and German ex.
ploiters, the Fascist rulers of Italy
are reported to have approached the
Germans for q war alliance against
France in the rapidly brewing worlC
war.
