MELLON WAR
DEBT MOYETO
HIT WORKERS
Patched Up At Last
Moment Is Full of
Conflicts
Push War On Soviets
Crisis Worse In Many
Countries

Statements by President Hoover
and Prime Minister Laval of France
indicate that the imperialist powers
have patched up an agreement" on
the plan for years postponement
of war debt payments. The plan it
self contains sharp conflicts, and
was put together at the last moment.
A great many questions are still left
open to be discussed at an interna-
tional conference of experts
The conclusion of this agreement,
so widely heralded by Hoover as
prosperity" move, will be accompa-
MED by an attack against the stand
ard of living of the American work.
ers There will take place a. con-
sohdation Of the capitalists in their
wage cutting drives against the
workers. The American workers will
be speeded up to make up in profits
for the $3.50, 100000 postponed in war
debts. There will be general, wide
spread attack against the American
workers all along the line,
The agreement itself, in the words
of Raymond G. Carol. New York
Evening Post, Paris correspondent,
contains enough dynamite to blow
itself to pieces. He points out the
differences of Belgium and Italy "all
is dynamite to be set of at the
forthcoming conference Of experts"
That the Hoover plan has had
no effect thus far in holding back
the sharpening of the world eco
nomic crisis is shown by the latest,
reports from Europe. In Germany
the Reichsbank is now in the deep
est crisis within the present period.
In Barcelona, Spain, the foremost
bank with $37,O00,00o assets crashed.
Leading banks in nearly every Euro
pean country face bankruptcy. The
Hoover plan" even if put into full
effect, will not ease the burdens OF
the German masses. AS now worked
out it increased the Young Plan
yoke giving French imperialism a
tighter yoke on the German rail-
ways, as well as attempting to insure
the entire system of the Versailles
treaty 1t gives the United States a
greater hand in Europe and hege-
mony in the anti-Soviet war front.
Along with the reparations con-
versations, Wall Street has been
strengthening the countries which
will be used as base in the war
on the Soviet Union. A report in
the Journal of Commerce, which
does not appear in other capitalist
papers, states that the Federal Re-
serve System, cooperating with the
Bank of International Settlement,
has granted loan of SIC, 100000 to
bolster up fascist Hungary; that
similar loans will be made to Poland,
Jugo- Slavia, Austria and other coun-
tries in the anti-Soviet alliance.
In his statement announcing the
success" of the Paris negotiations,
Hoover again brought up the ques-
ton of ornaments, indicating that
Wall Street would insist on gaining
out of it's s35O,ooo,Ooo expenditures
at least world supremacy in war ar
maments.

City Hall at 2 p. m. yesterday, de-

State Potato Crop Menaced
Potato Beetle Raising
 Havoc With Plants

Connecticut's $1,500,000 potato crop is being menaced by an attack of inc potato flea beetle. a. small.
 black, jumping insect which eats holes through the leaves. accord ing to a warning issued to-day by Albert F.. Wilkinson, extension veg etable specialist of the Connecticut Agricultural College.
 Several farmers throughout the
 state, according to Professor Will
 kinson, have reported serious ln- iury to potato vines. Although the infestation Is not widespread, the
 extension vegetable specialist re- commends that growers inspect their fields for signs of the insect. Immediate control as soon as the beetles are found in the field is ad-
 vised by the extensoin worker.
 "Bordeaux mixture applied to the
 foliage for the control of blight IS
 distasteful to the potato flea beetle
 and has a tendency to drive the in-
 sect away" said Professor Wilkin-
 son. If the infestation Is severe. d
 poison spray or dust may be used. Lead arsenate or calcium arsenate applied so as to come In contact
 with both upper and lower leaf sur
 faces, Is effective. Strong nicotine
 dust has also been found useful in com batting the pest.
