RUSSELL SEES SUCCESS
FOR SOVIET PROGRAM

Washington-FP- One of the
most unqualified predictions of
triumph for the Soviet Five Year
Plan as a means of securing to the
Russion worker and peasant a high
standard of living, ever made by
a prominent American, was voiced
by H. L. Russell, former dean Of
the College of Agriculture at the
University of Wisconsin before the
International Chamber of Com
merce, meeting in Washington on
May Z. RusselPs topic was "Agri-
culture, the Touchstone of World
Depression and Prosperity"
He began by describing Soviet
Russla's remarkable achievement
in modernizatiOn of wheat produc-
ton in the past three years. He
quoted American government re-
ports on the vast extent of the
program of mechanical farming
that has been thus far completed,
and cited the rich natural resourc-
es that the Soviet Union can de-
vote to this end.
Russia is eagerly utilizing the
very latest of scientific knowledge
to enlarge her agricultural posi-
bilities," he said. with feverish
anxiety she is literally pouring
millions into expansion of her uni
versitiy research Institutes, expert
ment stations and breeding farms.
Her scientists are combing the
earth for new crops and new meth
DDS. No country in Europe today
lis manifesting more interest and
more activity in laying hold of the
best science, wherever it may be
found"
Still hopeful that the American
farmers who possess big enough
tracts of wheat land, in the west,
will be able for years to come to
raise some wheat for export, DIR.
Russell said that the Russians
might so reduce the market price
of this grain, by means of their big
machinery, cheap labor and gov
ernment-owned lands, as to force
American farmers to give up ez
porting wheat. This, he said
might prove a blessing in disguise
as Gid the boil weevil in forcing
the eastern cotton states to take
up diversified farming.

idea as to what will be Russiai

he said. "We may flout her phil

of nations, but this economic fac

Tom Mooney Pardon Is
Demanded by the Public

San Francisco, May IA Popu-
larity of the growing demand for
the pardon and release of Tom
Mooney is strongly demonstrated
in the daily mail now being receiv-
ed at Sacramento by Gov. Rolph.
There is an ever increasing num-
Der of unanimously adopted resolu-
lions sent in by labor unions and
other workers organizations, all
calling for favorable action upon
the impending petition for an I'M
restricted pardon. And in an UNI
ceasing flood come the letters of
protest by individual citizens, with
strong appeal for justice to Moon
ey.
The Governor of Arizona writes
thus to Governor Rolph:
eve have many people in Ari-
IONA who believe that Thomas J.
Mooney should be pardoned. have
studied his case a good deal and |
have requests from friends of
mine to write you in his behalf.
at is useless to go into his case.
You know all about it. Because my
sympathies have been with Moon
ey, during the last campaign my
opponents used it as a campaign
issue against my reelection; hence
l am impelled to write you. l know
you will use your own judgment
after carefully reviewing his case
1 will appreciate it if your attitude
towards his release is favorable.
With kindest personal regards
and best wishes, l am,
Sincerely yours,
Geo. w. P. Hunt, Governor.

Numberless other letters carry a
similar message TO the California
Governor, and express such thots
as the following:
From Arthur Garfield HAYS,
lawyer, New York City: "a good
many of US in the United States
who are liberals acquired consid-
cradle hope in the Mooney case
when you were elected Governor.
We trust you will not betray our
hope"
w. M. Ash writes from Los An
geles:
GAS citizen. home owner, tax
payer and voter, and as one of
the many who wish to see the
name of this state cleared of the
injustice done in this case I
am appealing to you, my dear Gov
ernor, to save further disgrace to
the name of our state by granting
an unconditional pardon TO Tom
Mooney"

WALKER AYERS
. MAYORALTY
!. ACES HIM
* hO|1 IIIIH

:. NEW YORK, June Mayor
Walker complains that there were
two difficulties he always faces
rs head of the administration.
The first was that each year
added five years to his age, cn'
the second was that his serious
utterances we're greeted with the
remark: isn't he funny"
Not Taken Seriously
He added, however, that the
satisfaction he gained in doing
work for the public was well
worth while. Each time he tried
to be facetious, the mayor said,
he feared that the public would
take it as weighty pronounce
.ment.
He mentioned this before 800
members of the women'S division
of the Flatbush Democratic Club
Mt the annual spring luncheon.
The mayor will be so years old
Ion June 10. Said Walker:
Fellow members of the pay
roll, l would far rather you had
said nothing about that birth
day. 1 am not apprehensive,
but it reminds me of many
things I'd rather forget.
h Ages Rapidly
IL told one man who inter-
viewed me that when 1 came
into the City Hall five and a
: half years ago could not think
or feel more than Is years of
age. Yet / know how / will feel
1 next week. Those few years
have added a quarter of a cen
fury to my age, but 1 don't re-
.gret it, for in no other activity
i would I have been able to do
the public work which l have
done. am sure that few more
days of rest would restore those
J Is years which have slipped
4 away. Counting time is not
/ nearly as important as making
8 time count, as they say"
4 Mayor Walker announced that
he was sure he was getting old,
because recently he had been no
,ticing what was said or written
about him. And yet, he contin-
ued, there had been an undeniable
distinction in being "the late
Mayor" while still in office.
