Tariff Measure Is
Flayed In Address
At Potomac Friday
Former Gov. Robert A. Cooper
Of South Carolina Declares
Foreign Trade Hit

The Hawley-Smott tariff measure
was likened to a blow which has
"paralyzed the foreign trade of the
United States" at a meeting of the
Progressive Democratic Club of
Montgomery County at Potomac last
Friday night. The characterization
was made by former Gov. Robert A.
Cooper, of South Carolina, chief
speaker of the evening.
Cooper asserted that only recipro-
cal tariff treaties could possibly re-
store the SO per cent of foreign trade
which this country has lost in the
past four years.
"The United States has passed into
the classification of creditor country
because of the $4,000, O0O, 900 in loans
that it has extended to foreign nations
since the World War, and a tariff
policy such as we now have would
ruin any creditor country" he said.
During 1929" Cooper told his au-
dience, "the foreign trade of the
United States totaled $1,000, O00, 900
while our foreign trade during the
past year has been only approximate
ly $4,000, 900, 000-a decline of approx
imately SO per cent"
The former South Carolina execu-
tive declared that as surplus produc-
ing Nation the United States must
rely upon the foreign markets for dis
posing of large portion of its pro-
ducts and in return must buy pro-
ducts from the countries in which it
sells.
Approximately $50 people attended
the rally, which was held at the Poto-
mac School. States Attorney Stedman
A. Prescott, 10 v. Morgan of Edge
moor and E. Barrett Prettyman of
Chevy Chase also spoke, while must
cal selections were rendered by the
Potomac Band.

Plan Roosevelt Barrage
During the week the Democrats
again made it plain that they will lay
down a Roosevelt" barrage against
all Republican nominees.
Senator nominee p. w. Lanier di-
rected another request to Senator
Gerald P. Nye that he indicate his
preference between the presidential
candidates. The idea seems to b.
that if Nye comes out for Hoover he
will lose lot of support from those
in his own party who are censuring
the administration, while if he de-
clares for Roosevelt he will prejudice
his status as a Republican and al
vorce the regulars"
Nye did not seem overmuch wor-
ried about it when he passed through
Bismarck, although he evinced nc
desire to discuss the matter 1--WE
probably will have a lot of things to
say before the campaign is over" was
his cryptic remark.
| It applied also to the prohibition
question, on which the Democrats
are seeking to force an expression
from their opponents.
On the latter issue, it is indicated
that the Republicans will take ''let
the people rule" attitude. The ques'
ton is on the constitutional amend
ment ballot for November and thu
candidates probably will take thu
stand that they will abide by thu
results of that vote. In other words
if the state remains dry they will re
main dry. If it goes wet they vii
get wet.
Governorship Is Hot Spot
Aside from the Roosevelt campaign
and the relation Of state issues t.

centrating on the fight for the gov
ernorship. Formation of "DePuy

School Text Books
Needed Says Saxvik

Appeal to Bismarck residents who
may have text books which can be
used by school pupils was issued Sat-
urday by H. o. Saxvik, city school su-
perintendent.
Many children, SaXvik said, are UNI
able to provide themselves with text
books and he is certain that there
are many available in trunks and at
tics throughout the city. He said it
would be charitable act if the per-
sons possessing them would make
them available to poor pupils.
The school board sells text books to
pupils at cost and those used in the
grade schools have not been changed
for many years, SaXvik said. The re-
suit is that many books which have
been stored away could be used.
Persons having school books are
asked to call SaXvik at 2S5 and ar
rangements will be made to call 70,

The Fight Against Jim
Grow Practices

THE workers of Denver Colorado under the leadership of

deeds when August IS they attempted smash the hdee
Jim Crow practices in the city parks and bathing
beaches against the Negro Workers throughout the
country will hail the action of hundred Negro and
white young workers who participated in this militant action
which was severely attacked by the police.
The Jim Grow practices against the Negro workers,
who are so sorey need of health facilities the de-
tructon of the physical health of the Negro already
down by malnutron poverty and misery arising out
of their meager pay when employed from the extensive
employment and from the general attacks of the capitalists
of which they especially vctmized The ruling class in
its national and state governments bent upon retaining
these Jim Grow practices intact part of their program of
lsoang the Negro masses for greater exploitation and more
savage oppression The Denver police attack the anti
Jim Grow demonstration but of many examples of the
increasing terror against the Negro masses.
In the eyes of the white ruling class the Negroes have
mo rights which the white is bound to respect" The
manager of the Denver parks Lowry, who while admitting
that there is law to keep you citizens from using this
beach, directed the following threat against the Negro
workers in the demonstration:
You are here at the instgaton of the Communists and
good of this You before tried to this
beach You know the white people not going stond
for this If you into the water you asking for trouble
and [ fear you will get it"
This is the language which these capitalist henchmen
against the Negro fighting for their rights
The workers must not only violate these jim prac
tees in mass action in the struggle for Negro Rights but
both, white and Negro workers. The idea mbued in the
workers by the bosses that Jim Crow practices fixed and
and be broken one of the forces
operating for their maintenance The workers. Negro and
white must manty challenge these practices must smash
into them with militant action in fighting alliance
of white and Negro workers in the struggle against national
oppression for liberation of the Negro people, including full
rights in every part of the country and sedetermnation
for the Negro in the "Black Belt"
In this election struggle the workers must take up the
fight for unconditional equal rights for the Negro Masses
including relentless struggle against the denial of the fran
chise to the Negro in various Southern states
The development of actions in the fight for Negro
rights will be tremendous force in smashing these Jim
Crow practices.
