only the "new" relief measure.
They are united in support of the
Farm Board plan to use one nun
dred million dollars for credit
sales abroad, on the Frazier bill
and on the Wall Street plans to
"solve" the crisis by initiation.
Speaking on the Frazier bill, o.
Neal stated that "In view of this
situation (high interest rates to
be paid by farmers) and speaking
for the American Farm Bureau
Federation, l have no desire and
less instruction to oppose such a
measure as S. 1897 (Senate bilI)
by Senator Frazier" O'Neal rec
ognizes the Frazier bill as one of
the most effective demagogic at
tempts to mislead the farmers and
therefore is putting the fun

hind it.
The plan for credit sales provid-
es that from 100000 900 to s125.-
100000 should be transferred from
the Department of Agriculture to
the Federal Farm Board for the
purpose of financing foreign sales
OF wheat, cotton, etc. The FEEDER
al Farm Board has not been very
definite as to just how mucl
could be sold in that way. Chair.
man Stone of the Farm Board
stated on April % that the market
possibilities on credit were "pret-
ty good" He admitted that the
Board had not spent much time
investigating the possibilities of
such sales. "Spain, the Orient,
Germany and Greece are some of
the countries where sales on cred
it might be engineered" In each
of these countries the crisis is
deepening constantly. After the
bill is passed, if it is, the Farm
Board could spend months 'inves-
tigating" these markets, to come
to the conclusion that sales in
these markets were bad business
The main goal would have been
achieved, tho. The farm masses

The Truth Comes Out!

Charles A. Ewing, of Decatur, Illinois, pres-
dsnt of the National Livestock Marketing Assoc.
alton, appeared before the Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry on April % and pointed
out that the farmers should not be disappointed
with the lack of any results from the operations
of the Federal Farm Board.
"The Agricultural Marketing Act was not de-
signed for crisis such as the country is passing
through and while much progress has been made,
it is not yet possible to measure the benefits,
which, however, greater than they appear"
The benefits" are most likely the phrase mon
gering that the "progressives" and the misleaders
Of the farmers have been spouting during The
past two years. The farmers should feel happy
that they were mistaken all the time. They
thought that the Federal Farm Board was sup
posed to aid them in the present crisis. It was
not. 1t could be of aid under normal" conditions,

A Children's Nursery In Leningrad

Moscow, U.S.S.R- (By Special
Correspondent)- We were in Len
ingrad for just a couple of days
enroute to Moscow. Of course we
could not see much so contented
ourselves with walking around the
main streets. Suddenly it started
to rain very hard. We ran into
post office building. Naturally
there is nothing extraordinary a
bout a post office. But being COM
plete strangers we thought we
would explore. And much to our
surprise we found a door which
signified that it was a nursery.
Being curious we decided to knock
on the door. We spent an hour
and a half inside, which proved
one of the most valuable and in
teresting places we visited.
A young woman greeted US and
when we explained we were from
America and were interested m
seeing the nursery she was de-
lighted. There were a few rooms
set aside on that floor for the nur-
sery which was for the purpose of
taking care of the children of mo-
theirs who were working. They
cared for children from 8 wears
to 8 in a combination of nursery
and school.
We donned white aprons and
were taken through the rooms.
With great enthusiasm the com
rade explained to us the methods
of teaching. The children are di-
vided into groups according to
ages. The pre-school age babies
of from three to five years are
together. Those who can read and
write already are also together.
When the children reach the age
of eight years they are graduated
to public school. Every child has
his own space for his clothes, his
own tooth brush and towel.
1t is remarkable to see how the
children of even three years are
trained in organization and collec-
tive work. They are taught to
think while being taught to speak.
The three year olds are first
taught with pictures and colors.
They have their name written on
their places in different colcrs so
they can recognize them.
There is a leader in charge Of
each group. However, even among

Soviets. This war in China is a
direct war move against the Sow
ct Union where successful socialist
construction under the rule of the
workers and peasants is pointing
the way to the working class Of
the world.
The young workers are being
prepared for war against their
brothers in other countries and in
the Soviet Union. Thousands of
sport loving youth are induced to
go to the Citizens Military Train
ing Camps to get training in the
art of slaughtering other workers
in war at home. All the recruit
ing posters of the army and navy
tell about the glorious chances for
sports that the young workers will
have in the service. The same
bosses who are responsible for the
slaughter and manning of millions
of workers in the last war talk
about sports and building up the
health.
BY building up a mass workers
sport movement and demanding
that the boss give relief and chan
ces for sport to the workers we
can get health, sports and recrea-
ton for the workers. By a strug-
gle against bosses war, by expos
ing the Olympics as a war move
of the bosses against the Soviet
Union, by fighting against the use
of sports in militarizing the youth
we can build a mass working class

these tots, they are also involved
in the activity. Every day they
select two to be in charge for the
day. They give out the pencils,
help set the table at meal time
and examine their comrades hands
to see that they are washed. They
are recognized by a color and al
so a special board where their
names are put to signify that they
are in charge for the day. Two

ciple is carried out with all the
groups of children. The food is

bringing the mass campaigns of
the Party down to the youngest in
