delegate from Plentywood, went over
unanimously.
Rank and file delegates tried to get
adopted the whole Sheridan County
holiday plan, which includes many
Of the militant tactics and demands
of the U. F. L. as outlined above.
The leadership of the Farmers Union
fought bitterly against militancy, and
the program as a whole did not go
through. But against all opposition.
the delegates to the convention forced
the state holiday board to incor-
porate plank as follows:
1--WE demand and we state that
any farmer who has been fore
closed shall stay right on his farm
and take the full value of the crops
without interference by the COM
pany or other mortgage owners"
The delegates pledge to enforce
this right by mass action.
Ruth Bert, of the Producers News,
Plentywood speaking for this plank,
secured great applause from the con-
vention delegates, and from $50 Wis
itorS present from all parts of the
state.
The state holiday program of the
leaders is still only for withholding
farm products and establishing an
orderly marketing of them" but a
great many Of the delegates favor
tFG militant Sheridan County plan,
and it may be adopted by the county
holiday associations of Roosevelt,
Daniels and McCone counties.

the new broader Farm Holiday AS
ISOLATION Farmers Union leaders
like Milo Reno, its Iowa state pres
ident. became national leaders of the
Holiday Association.
The first proposal of the Farmers
Union were for no strike, but merely
withholding of surplus from the mar
ket for a limited tima. The Farmers
Holiday leaders tried to carry on this
program. The farmers themselves
turned the holiday into a real STRIKE
with mass picketing of a very mill
tant sort, mass marches to release
arrested pickets, etc.
Farmers Fight Taxes
Lately, on the advise Of the real
rank and file farmers organization,
the United Farmers League, they
have in many places elected local
strike committees to lead picketing,
and have extended the struggle to
include demands for no tax payments
or mortgage payments for period
of time, or where the farmers feel
militant they demand abolition of
taxes and mortgages on poor farmers.
The UFL and the Communist Party
urge unity between city workers and
unemployed workers joint picketing
on the roads and joint demonstrations
against taxes debts, evictions and
Joint demands for relief from the
county governments for both city I'M
employed and hungry farmers. All
these struggles led to the Washington
conference to lay demands for relief,
etc. before congress.

"sAvE CIVILIZATION IN CHINA"

Stephane Lausanne, editor in chief
of "Matin',' influential Paris daily,
launches an appeal to the Great
Sewers to save China from chaos
cd Asia from barbarisnn" (meaning
oIshevism). He writes:
T"Among the seven or eight govern
n2ents comprising the anarchic entity
called China today there is one that
is never talked about, but that is
none the less the only really power
full regime: the provisional Soviet
government establish. at Yui-King
in Kiangsi since November Z, 1881.
ut is gaining enc nous territory
every day and has a disciplined army
Ct 100000 men which is beyond doubt
the best army in Chin 2 =. 1t is curl
GUS, to say the least, that the Europ-
can powers with interests in China
have taken such little notice of this
government, begottep by Moscow %
ard planted in the hart of China"
This is an unblushing appeal to the
imperialist powers to intervene in
China to annihilate the Chinese Sow
ists, as we'll as plea for Japan's eff
forts to "saye Manchuria from the
Red wave. The only true allies of
