voluntarily" carried out by the farmers. Well,
there was reduction of acreage all right, but
not voluntarily" There were 100000 acres
Of crops lost to drouth and grasshoppers-but
a net reduction of only 9,2550OO acres because
the farmers had INCREASED ACREAGE by
some 100000 acres above 1890!
And what's more nature was so bountiful in
the acreage not lost that the total wheat crop
for 1881 stands at 892,271 900 bushels, being
900 bushels more than in 1880, and 79, $685.
900 more than in 1921
To sum up the whole boom in wheat prices
was based upon false explanations. The real ex-
planation lay in two factors:
First the immediate approach of war on a
world scale directed mainly at the redivision of
China and attack on the Soveit Union, as seen
by all who understood the visit of Laval and the
Manchuian events as indicating the new imper-
talist grouping of America, France and Japan
a regrouping which could mean and still can
only mean--War
The second factor was the speculation that
seized upon the war danger and then improved
upon it by the simple invention of all these
tales of shortages" everywhre.
The Hoover administration helped this along
with its official optimism and lying reports"
and the lambs we're shorn by the Cutten group
of Chicago, the lambs ignoring the plain hand
writing on the wall tflaG appeared In an article
Of the N. Y. Times of November g. with the
headlines: "Cutten Group Buys Big Wheat Hold
ings; Chicago Operator Reported Chief Factor
Behind Spurt in Prices"
Wheat went up to 73 cents bushel. But the
N. Y: Post of Nov. II explained who was clean
ing up by saying. large speculative in
terests who active in the market In the
early stages Of the original rebound /. were
heavy sellers from 6S cents up the public (ah,
that ''public"!--H g. reputedly took the mar
ket away"
But what did the farmers get out of all this?
Well it is to be noted that the price began to
boom only in late October and November
AFTER the farmers, the SMALL FARMERS,
who never can afford to hold their crop, had
sold it at from 28 to 40 cents--at the farmers
local market.
So the increase in price was gobbled up by
the big SPECTATORS from the small ones in the
mainland the farmers got little of it, the small
farmers none of it. But the fact that they got
none OF it did not prevent the Farm Board Off
cials, swollen with fat salaries, and the Hoover
administration, from falsely claiming that they
had (againD saved the American farmers"

What We Call "Brass"

Not long ago, Hoover's Department OF Conn
merce spit up lie to the effect that the Soviet
Union in financial difficulties, and from
this lie it went on to advise" American manu-
facturers not to sell anything to the Soviet Union
except for spot cash as so the advice" went
"credit was not safe"
This is of course, an attempt to lay down
credit blockade and thus obstruct the Five Year
Plan of socialist construction. That Hoovers
statement is a lie we ask you to prove for your
self by reading the articles 1.-THE Financial and
Economic Policy of the Soviet Government by
Grinko, published in the "1nprecorr". in Numbers
SO and so. 1t is too long for us to go into here.
But, it might DO well to ask what kind OF con~
dition the credit of the capitalist government of
America is in, when 1t dares to lie about the
Soviet In a brief way it may be shown by quot
ing Ogden L. Mills Under-secretary of the U. s.
Treasury, who spoke over the radio last satuy~
day, and among other things said:
even If we assume that we are justified iE
borrowing up to the full amount Of S3,460Io Io00,-
900, that sum will be almost completely ABB
sorbed by last years and this years deficits"
That's not very good credit backing Is it? It's
rotten in fact. But none the less, while Hoover
pleads government poverty against any demand
for Unemployment Insurance or the cash bonus
for veterans, he is all hot for fund that "is ale
lowable" to run up to $1,5o0,oOooo to help the
banks and the railroads owned by the banks
The government will borrow that much from
the bankers-to help the bankers and tax the
masses on their cigarettes, ETC., to pay the bank
ers interest on loans from the bankers to help
the bankers. -. And the loans still remain az
part of the nations debt to the bankers! Good
heavens what a game of graft
One of the first things Workers and Farm-
ers' Soviet Government in America would do is to
ton is supposed to owe to the bankers-and
there are over s16 100000 of thenl-and make
nice bonfire!
But, let's say before we get that far take just
the interest-be very modest more modest than
these bankers are-and force the capitalist gov
ernment to suspend interest payments on that
$4,000 900, sum that at four and a half
per cent will amount to around $720,o00,0 900 per
year. And use that to help feed the millions OF
starving jobless workers instead OF giving 1t 10
the bankers who are now getting It'll
That and that alone, would give each of the
i2000000 jobless Just $50 cash. Then take tha
$c,000000000 or SO that is going into war and
war preparations and lot of thieving post
office rents-and make up the sum demanded by
the Hunger Marcflers of $3.50 for each jobleM
worker and $50 for each dependent. Don't you
see that it can be done-f only we start out from
the idea that so-called debts due TO bankers are
not sacred, but the lives Of the workers are!

WHAT'S IN FASHION?-
Splashing Color on Dresses

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Get out
IN the tubas and trumpets and
join in that good old rousing chorus,
Brighten the corner where you
are!" Because there's certainly no
room in fashions corne. for any
thing dull and drab this season.
If you'll let your clothes guide
your philosophy Of life, surely
this ought to be the brightest.
most cheerful fall you've had in
many years. Because fashionable
clothes are that way. Especially
dresses.
It's matter of color. And you
can do your little cheerio dress act
in many ways.
There are dresses entirely of one
bright color. There are dresses with
top of one color and a skirt of
another.
Smaller Contrasts Chic
But still more exciting are the
ways color contrast is put in in
smaller amounts. (And here's where
you can gets lots of ideas for reno
waiting the plain dress left over
from last year,
Contrasting collar and cuffs.
That's an easy way. Not just white
though those are fashionable, too
but gay combinations like red on
navy dress, green on a black one,
tangerine on a brown one.
Or instead of a collar, a scarf.
Just a simple scarf draped and tied
to one side. Or a trickier one that
comes down one side only, or that
ties low in front with long ends
hanging free.
Mainbocher Ca famous American
couture house in Paris brings the
ends of a contrasting scarf down
under the dress belt, as in the
sketch.
Variety in Vestees
Lots of new dresses have con-
trasting color vestees. If you have
dress with while veStee, buy an
extra one in color and tuck it in for
q change. It's an idea of Vionnet's.
Yokes of contrasting color are in
fashion. Sometimes they extend
over onto the sleeve. Or this yoke
can turn into the new plastron or
bib-shaped yoke.
There's no end to the way con-
trasting color is used at the waist
line. In belts and in girdles. Bru-
yere's new idea is a two color CIR
die and it's an intricate double af-
fair. But any two color girdle can
be used, tied or twisted in any way
that suits your fancy.
And if your dress has revers, it's
smart to have the revers lined with
a contrasting shade.
