HOOVER CLOSES
YEAR IN OFFICE
Faces Three Major Prob
lens as Period Ends.

| By United Press
WASHINGTON. March 3.-Presi-
dent Hoover today completes a first
year in Office that rarely has been
! equalled for the number of new
projects initiated, both domestic
and foreign, but the end of the year
finds him in the midst Of several
knotty problems in the handling of
which may depend. ultimately, the
success of his administration.
Three major problems, naval dis
armament, tariff and prohibition,
each have reached critical stage,
and the two domestic problems are
certain to be campaign issues in the
next elections.
Hoover has started a program of
Oil conservation, preservation of
public lands, inland waterways,
child health and social welfare that,
although still in the primitive stage,
may have far-reaching effects.
Politically, the President is at
odds with congress, because Of his
apparent refusal to play BALI with
congressional politicians. Hoover
has demonstrated that he does not
intend TO WELD the big stick" over
congress, but instead choose to lead
by persuasion and suggestions.
The end of the first year finds
both the President and Mrs. Hoo
yer in excellent health, despite the
cares of Office.

We hold that the right of every

However, the opposition Of the

We are of the opinion that the

Under the influence Of the COM
muniSt party, anti-religious organ
izations have developed and grown
in Soviet Russia, and as a result
they have become an integral part

Violence in Communication
of Agriculture Must
Stop, Is Warning.
OFFICIAL ZEAL ASSAILED
World Campaign Against
Atheism May Prove
Boomerang.
BY EUGENE LYONS,
TnIied Press Stan Cnrresnondent

MOSCOW, March 3.-The Soviet
government moved officially today to
check the use of violent methods in
compelling peasants to give up their
private property and join farm col
lectiVes.
The c0mmissariat Of agriculture
ordered an investigation Of cases
where undue coercion had been en-
ployed. and promised public repri-
mand or punishment Of local
authorities guilty Of such methods.
The order was in line with Sun
days announcement Of Josef Stain.
head Of the Communist party. who
warned against too much haste or
violence in commanding the land.
The action doubtless reflected wide
spread dissatisfaction among peasant
masses who have suffered through
the excuses mentioned by Stain.
Stain warned the communists it
Would be futile as we'll as danger
Gus to attempt to organize the land
on q communistic basis while the
peasants are not yet ready for the
chance.
The document points out that
half Of the entire peasantry of the
Soviet republic already is collectiv-
ized. and declares Stain as favor
ing persuasion and education rather
than force in inducing the other
50 per cent to join the plan.
Cites Turkestan Case
AS an example of official excuses,
Stain called attention TO Turkestan,
where the peasants were threatened
with the shutting off Of their water
supply by military forces unless they
Joined the cOllectives.
Such methods, Stain said, may
strengthen our enemies and dis
credit the collective idea"
Significantly, at the same time
Stain came forth with his pro-
nouncement on agriculture, the Coy
eminent published its tentative pro-
gram for the nations industrial de-
velopment for the year beginning
oct. !. 1890.
Rush Five Year Plan
The Soviet emissions a growth
In industrial production of 49
per cent next year. compared to
the present twelve months. This is
considered another clear indication
that the government is determined
to realize completion of it's five
wear plan" in four years.
Meanwhile, in the opinion of
Emilian Yaroslavsky. head of the
Society of the Goddess and one of
the most important communist lead
ers, the world wide campaign
against Russian atheism will have
the effect of a boomerang.
The crusade" of the western
world, Yaroslavsky told the
United Press, has vivified athe-
istic propaganda and given it a
political base.

Insult to Labor, in
House Address.

nv United Press
WASHINGTON. March Sat
tempt is being made to direct at
tention away from unemployment
by starting another red scare,
Senator La Toilette (Rep., Wis.,
charged in the senate today, adding
that the situation is a reminder of
the days of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Pal
mer and Daugherty."
He recounted that In those days,
statements that the United States
was about to be overwhelmed by
Communists and reds were issued
whenever an economic question was
raised"
La Follette's charge came after
Senator Wagner dem, N. " pre-
viously had demanded the admins
tration take some action in the TN
employment situation. La Follette's
was the first comment on the floor
of the senate, although Senator
FesS (Rep.. o. announced he would
answer Wagner Tuesday. Wagner
had charged the administration
with attempting to conceal the real
facts Of unemployment.
Just RED Herring"
1T is a grave injustice to millions
Of American men and women who
are out of employment and asking
for an opportunity to earn their
livings. to drag across the red
herring of another red campaign"
La Toilette said.
at is perfectly obvious that the
campaign is being carried out to
paint as reds honest American men
and women who are seeking en-
ployment to earn their daily bread,
and for one, protest"
La Toilette pointed out recent
news dispatches from Chicago
quoted department of justice agents
as saying they had evidence Of
plans for a communist demonstra-
zion on March and said the report
had been denied at the department
here.
He added, however, that Matthew
Vol, ce-president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor recently
circularized a translation from an
alleged cOmmunistic paper, saying
the demonstration is planned and
is to be financed by Moscow.
Planned by Moscow
IF you want to break down the
solid front of American labor or
CARNATIONS against communism,
La Foliatte continued, "the surest
way is to brand as reds. men and
women seeking employment, and to
meet their demands with blows
from police clubs
Lafollette charged that the IN
dustrial leaders who pledged at the
Presidents business conferences to
continue existing wages had broken
their promise and we're lowering
wages and laying off employees. He
deplored the lack of accurate en-
ployment figures.
Senator Gerald P. Nye Democrat,
South Dakota, said he believed the
confidence of the co-operatives in
the farm board had been shaken
somewhat by conference the board
held with cooperative leaders in
Chicago Saturday.
He read a telegram from N. w.
Thatcher, st. Paul general man
ager of the Farmers Union, declar-
ing Chairman Legge's policies were
sanctioned by his group. The tele-
gram was sent last week before the
conference. Since then, Nye said, he
has received telephone calls indicat-
ing the co-operatives have changed
their mind about the board.
