Bull Fights and Things

In some of our" illustrated Sunday papers We
noticed recently the picture of a bull fight in
Mexico, where the toreador was being gored to
death, and the caption written by the Yankee
editor said something about the "barbaric" ma
ture of bull fighting.
No doubt the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Bulls has special seance over that
picture. But right here in civilized" America
we have had AZ football players killed so far this
season. Also we have had the fact revealed that
collegiate" sports are put on by hired players
and in general an expose of capitalist sports
All of which reminds us that for sports that
are on the square, and come from the whole
some desire of the masses to play and wage con-
tests in SKILL you have to go to the Labor Sports
Union. We think that the LS.U is doing fine
thing in developing the Metropolitan Soccer
League games that are played every Sunday in
New York at the Dyckman OVAL and soccer
football is free from the useless fatalities OF the
Rugby game played by capitalist outfits
The LS.U. is also following good line by
helping the class struggle, the proceeds of NEXT
Sundays games at Dyckman Oval going to the
Young Worker" just as previous games have
gone to the Hunger March.

ers' sports. One Y.C.L. unit out West recently
wrote that it was organizing L.S.U. branch; as
the comrades believed it necessary" to "get in
touch with non-memberS of the YCL"
This is, indeed happy thought. One might
ask why they haven't made the discovery before.
But many units haven't got that far yet, and
generally the Y.CL is even more sectarian than
the Party-and that's saying lot.
To us, it appears that when workers who are
in the Party and League get SO wound up in
themselves that they scorn to talk to so-caIled
backward workers. they not only restrict the
movement but they show that they themselves
lack that theoretical development which would
give them assurance in their own supposed con-
victions. And they have to cohabit with other
members exclusively as sort of support for their
own inner weakness which is due to lack OF
THEORETICAL STUDY.

Second Question: How is ta>e diysributson Of
financial means among the various UNDERSTANDS
and factories carried out7
Answer: This is carried out on the basis OF
planned economy. We have the Ffve-Year Plan
a plan of socialist construction extending over
period Of five years. This plan il confirmed By
our highest organs of legislation and has the
force of a law. But the actual carrying out Of
the various concrete parts of this plan is not
possible on the basis of this general programme
alone. Within the Ftve-Year Plan we set I'D an
economic plan for each year, the so-called con-
troll figures. In setting up this annual plan we
take into account the means which we have at
our disposal in the year In question and upon
this decide what tasks contained in the Five
Year Plan are to be carried out in this year:
what factories railways, collective farms, trac-
tor stations, universities etc. are to be built or
established what wages are to be paid etc. In
this way we set up concrete tasks for a year for
each district. And in relation to these tasks we
distribute the financial means. With such huge
area as our state comprises, with population
OF over 100 Million is is fairly hard to determine
everything exactly even for q year. Therefore
VIC set up so-called quarterly plans for three
month";. Tor the working out of these plans we
have the State Planning Commission lCtosplan}.
This institution is in contact with all the

sary revises them in the process of their carry

States Plant Many Trees.

From the Buffalo Evening News,
Some idea of the extent to which the
United States has become tree con-
scious is gained by the report of the
Department of Agriculture showing
that last year more than 10000. 900
trees were distributed for reforestation
purposes in 80 States and the Terri
tories of Hawaii and Porto Rico. Up
ward of one-third of this replacement
of timber was under the provisions of
the Clarke cNary law setting up a
cooperative plan for planting as wind
breaks, shelter belts and farm wood
lands.
In reforestation, as in taxpaying and
otherwise, New York leads, this report
shows. All told 24,960,0O0 trees were
distributed for planting in this State
in $780, Michigan followed with 49,
00o, 900 and Pennsylyania's paintings
numbered 100000. More than one
third, or sc, 443,654 trees. were provided
lands, while for planting on private
lands other than farms % 1893, 760 trees
were distributed.
When to these State operations in
providing for trees to conserve (he Ma
ticQ's natural resources in soil and
stream and in wooded wealth are
added the similar activities of the For
est Service in the Federal Govern
mefts National Park system, 1t is seen
that the task of averting the disaster
threatening a denuded land Is well I'M
der way. If reforestation is continued
at this rate 1t will not be long before
there will be many more forests where
needed In this country.

Justice and Dignity.

Action of local justice In daring
prisoner, whom he had fined for
contempt to throw his hat on the floor
again in disgust, was not only piece
of poor craftsmanship, but did nothing
to uphold the dignity of judicial proc
esses.
Judges are human, and often il the
course of their work must be tempted
to make the retort clever, or in other
ways TO display the authority which
they possess. No doubt every man on
the bench is faced by persons who
richly deserve some such repartee.
II the court, however, possesses a
dignity which makes back talk" con-
tempt, then it should manifest that
dignity by not INDUCING in it itself.
A story is told of famous judge in
the West who fined a young man $500.
Such a sum OF money was large, In
those days, and the young fellow was
proud of possessing it, and replied to
the judge:
Sure. Judge, got that right here In
my jeans"
And twenty years il prison a" replied
the Judge. Have you got that in your
jeans?"
1t may be submitted that all such in
cidents, while they tend TO show that
judges, as men, are only human, after
all. also have the unhappy effect OF
lowering respect for justice
