Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 22.-The Wick
ersham report proved to be a dud mar
ketwise, so far as Wall Street was con-
cerned. For weeks brokerage affices,
bears and bulls, vets and drys, eagerly
asked for facts about the report. but
with that document pleasing" every
body and confusing a good many, the
Street decided to forget about it.
The Wickersham report" commented
Shields & Co, was a matter Of inter-

any definite recommendations for the
curing of the evils of prohibition, it

BUT Of PEACE
THERE ISN'T
HostIHtles Abroad, at Home
In Various Forms Show
Slight Cessation
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

Today is Arnistice Day, q day
Of thanksgiving for peace-but
neither abroad nor at home could
Washington observe much cessa'
ton Of hostilities.
In the Far East, japan and
China are at each others throats
in q real war, rifles cracking and
big guns booming, bringing worry
wrinkles to the brows Of Admins
tration officials, fearful that the
United States may yet be drawn
into the malestrom Of events
there.
Strife Not Dead
In Europe 13 years Of peace
have failed to wipe out the bitter
animoSities Of four years of war.
France and Germany. to all prac-
tical purposes, are still arrayed
against each other and keeping
the world in turmoil over peace
treaties. debt, reparations and
disarmament.
At home, the political warfare
Is Just beginning, with The Demo
Gratis preparing to take over the
House Of Representatives for the
first time in 13 years. They are
hopeful, too, Of acquiring control
Of the Senate. which means that
with q Republican President in
the White House and a national
election just ahead, there will be
unceasing warfare between the
Executive and legislative branches
OF the Government.
Suggestions for a. political truce
when Congress convenes have fal-
len flat. There is going to be
none.
No Political Armistice
The Democrats, with a paper
majority Of three in the House,
are going to formulate their own
legislative program and seek to
have it enacted. It will be
formed during the next four
weeks. If it is acceptable to the
White House, the Democrats say
well and good: if not, they will
try to put it through over White
Aoues opposition.
The Republicans, their backs
against the wall for the first
time since 1918, similarly plan
to formulate their own program
and endeavor to elect a Speaker.
President Hoover is now working
on 1t. Attempts to commit the
Democrats to support it in ad-
vance have failed.
But there is to be no political
afmlst1ce. That much is assured.

THE Sixth Convention of the Young Commun-

world crisis, which has meant misery and starv-
alton for millions of workers. including a large
percentage of young workers, and the growing
danger of war on the Soviet Union, make this
convention one of the most important that the

ing class. Hamilton Fish and his despicable
committee, operating in the interests of the cap
italist class, know that the young workers and
the working class children are potent factors for
the revolutionary movement. They know that
in view of the war plans of the U. S. imperialist
government which are being put into effect
very rapidly, the young workers will be the first
needed to put them through-as cannon fodder
The activities of the imperialists among the
young workers, through the YMCA, YMHA, the
CMTCs, the boy and girl scouts and similar
organizations, reveal the feverish haste with
which the imperialists are working.
These young workers. who are starving in the
streets, owing to unemployment; who are hav-
ing their wages cut, however low they may have
been, are fighters. They must be lined up with
the revolutionary movement They must be
reached by The Young Communist League. AS

So, Finn Farmers Are Sore

We have heard so much about the sorrows Of
the Russian "kulak" that it is a relief to learn
that just over the border in capitalist Finland,
that farmers are having their farms taken away
from them, not by awful Bolsheviks but quite
the contrary, by capitalists
So we were informed by the ~ Y. Times OF
June 16 which printed a dispatch from that
marvellous center of veracity, Helsingfors, which
said that "excited farmers prevented the legally
authorized sale of farn"-no doubt by FORE
closure.
The capitalist government of Finland, which
gets dreadfully worked up at the plight of the
"kulaks" in the Soviet Union. is said to have
published proclamation to the police authori-
ties which requested them to use all available
forces to prevent citizens from interfering with
legal functions
It is added that thousands of farms land
there aren't a. great lot in Finland) are threat
ened with forced sale for debt"
1t is up to the American farmers who are
chained to the banks to take leaf out OF the
Finnish farmers book and refuse to pay, all to-
gether, and prevent legally authorized sales
they can do it just as easily as the Finnish
farmers did

fields, greatly stimulated the beginnings of
struggle of the miners against starvation con-
dtions. 1t resulted in greatly increased agi-
tation in the section now on strike and eSpe-
cially served to link up the struggle of the en-
poyed and unemployed miners. In some Sec
tons, such as New Kensington and Avella, it
resulted in the organization of Unemployed
Councils of the NMU. The strikes in the Tom
ajko and Edna mines in Westmoreland County,
led by the NMU also advanced the struggle of
the miners These strikes, together with the
strikes in Central Pennsylvania, and in the
Sauerkraut mine, proved to the miners that sue
cessful resistance could be put up against wage
cuts and rotten conditions, in spite of the fact
that the National Miners Union did not at that
time have mass union in the bituninous fields.
All of these preparatory struggles served to get
rid of some of the pessimism which hung over
from the defeats suffered by the miners in 1929
Until shortly before the strike, although the
NMU had the political leadership of masses of
miners, it was organizatonaly very weak.
The pessinism which had existed, was to be

the big capitalists, the people who responsible for
all the ills and suffering of the farming masses are
trying to shift their responsibility and their criminal
failure to provide relief for the farmers over to the
shoulders of the Soviet Union 1t is difficult to find
another example of brazen lmperlalst hypocrisy to
match this
The Soviet Union is exporting grain in quantities
much smaller than is exported by Canada Argen-
tina 1t certainly exports much less grain than did
the Czarist government of Russia. Why? Because the
chief of the Soviet Government, which is
government of Workers and is to provide for
the needs of the at home who toll and produce
goods. The Soviet Government is not in the wheat

competitors in order to capture their markets This is

Is this dumping? OF not. The Federal
