Business is adjusting itself TO the
realization that the Federal Government
is not going to solve its problems aris-
ing from the depression.
Aid may be extended In an abstract
way, but most business men have
reached the belief that they must de-
pend on their own efforts for progress
and profits. Instead Of coming to
Washington 10 see what assistance is
to be offered them, many Of them are
coming to and out II by any chance
legislative action may threaten their
progress back to normal.
Agricultural Situation.
This will not apply 10 agriculture.
Alexander Legge, chairman Of the Farm
Board, has made it plain that the
farmer Is not being measured by the
same standards as the industrialist,
because the farmer Is one Of the few
who cannot have something to say
about the price at which the commod-
tiles he produces shall be sold. Mr..
Legge asserts that the operations Of the
Farm Board do not indicate that the
Government Is "in business" He de-
clares that each cooperative to which
assistance has been given Is producer
owned and producer controlled"
It is plain. however, that aid to
farmers is the exception which Ia
counted on to prove the general rule
that industry must burn its own
smoke" and that the Federal Govern
ment Is not preparing 10 offer anything
more than encouragement and advice.

COPENHAGEN.-Recently an anti

at which $4,000 workers were repre-
sented. Many trade unions were also
represented, for instance, the Wo-

the Educational Workers Union and
others. The Red Aid and the Com
munist Party Of Denmark were also
represented.
After an Introductory speech on
fascism in various parts of the world
and the forms taken by fascism and
social-fascism in Denmark, a long
discussion took place. All the reso-
lutions placed before the conference
were unanimously adopted. 1t was
decided to form a workers defense
organization and to further the work
Of the Red Aid of Denmark. Mea-
sureS were decided upon for an en-
ergetic campaign against fascism

Cotton Pool"
Bankers Crit
On Farmer
lBy a Worker Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.-The
Cotton Growers Association, which
is said to be a farmers organization,
is nothing but cooperative swindle,
Here in Oklahoma it has about Is 1000
members and in 1923 it handled 1884,
600 bales of cotton.
The farmer who joins this so-called
farm movement agrees to deliver his
cotton to the association, to pool"
his product for good" price, by the
way. Quite often the pool period is
six months and the grower gets half
cash down, sometimes four-fifths
down for his crop. While the pool
ing" process is on the farmer must
pay insurance charges, storage
charges, ETC., on the crop pooled"
1t is easy to see who makes the
money.
1t is said by farmers here, who
have been victimized by this associa-
ton that the pooled" cotton is really
sold by the association on the day
the cotton is delivered by the farmer
for whatever the price is on that day.
Many farmers are getting their eyes
open to this sWindle.
The Cotton Growers Association is
dominated by the bankers and mer-
chants of the South and through
the Farm Board it is joined to and
completely controlled by finance
capital the same as the Farmers
Union.
The United Farmers League, which
is now being organized in Oklahoma,
is exposing the robber character Of
the Cotton Growers Association and
calls upon the farmers, Negro and
white, to build township committees
of action and make real fight
against the bankers and merchants
and the capitalist authorities.

Prada Appeal
tOWOYld 1OiIers
to Hit War Plot

MOSCOW.-The "Pravda" pub
fishes leading article entitled AN
sWer the War-Mongers!" describing
the fierce Indignation of the masses
of the Soviet Union when they learned
OF the activity of the counter-revolu-
tionary industrial party.
Countless resolutions were adopted
pledging the workers to carry
through the socialist constructive
scheme to final success despite all
obstacles, The best members of the
shock groups answered the sabotag-
ers and the imperialists by joining
the Communist Party. They demand
capital punishment for the criminals
AS result of the exposure of the
criminal treachery of the counter
revolutionaries new wave of labor
enthusiasm is sweeping through the
country. This powerful proletarian
action is the best proof of the
strength of the Soviet State. The
masses have held the front through
out the years of civil war and i'm
perialist intervention; they are now
advancing toward socialism all along
the line. They will clear out of the
way all elements which attempt to
hold up their advance.
Imperialist France maintains it's
anti-Soviet policy with a grim per-
sistence. 1t clings to the czarist
debts. 1t cannot forget the mill
tary alliance" of imperialist France
with czarist Russia. After the fall
ure of the first Intervention, the
French government took up a policy
of boycott against the Soviet Union,
whilst at the same time feveriSlly
preparing new intervention. The
material in the proceedins against
the industrial party shows how far
these preparations had succeeded.
All preparations had been made
and the date set, but in one point
the imperialists had erred; they I'M
derestimated the preparedness of the
proletarian state which tore the net
Of intrigues and destroyed the coun-
ter-revolutionary organization. The
workers of the Soviet Union are con-
WINGED that their workers in
the capitalist countries will hurry to
their assistance in case of new in
tervention.
The new intervention will meet a
wall OF proletarian solidarity around
the Soviet Union.
