By DOUGLAS HOPE

Ashland, Mass, March IA
few weeks ago there appeared In
the Producers News an item on a
milk bill to be submitted to the
Massachusetts State Legislature.
At the present moment hearings
for this bill are being held. This
bill will place in the hands of a
few powerful groups control of
all milk production in Massachu-
sets and very large portion of
that produced in Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine. 1t is Of
tremendous Importance to farmers
to see how bills such as this are
shaped up and showed thru, and
what forces are called upon TO do
the trick.

This is the reason the Japanese

tack because they feel that they
will be in better position to at
tack now before the five year plan
is completed and while the Rus
sian workers and peasants are put

the completion Of the plan.
The capitalist attack is not only
the attack of the Japanese imperi-
alists but the attack of all Of the
imperialists. The japanese attack
lis being planned for this spring
because the imperialists are pre-
pared to attack thru Poland also.
'The japanese, furthermore,
know that Russia might hesitate
at throwing heavy forces east
ward, when this would weakem
the western frontier, exposing Il
to a possible Polish attack"
The only thing which is holding
back the Japanese imperialists at
all is the constant weakening Of
its own economic position. Week
by week, the economic crisis in
Japan has deepened, aggravated
by the widespread boycott Of all
Japanese products turnout China.
Japan, in a natiOnaIistic
frame of mind under the impet-

is undoubtedly in a good posi-
ton to plead "seIf defense" a

ice employees be asked to accept a six
hour day, according to an announce
ment today by c. w. Browning, adju-
tant of the department of the District

this department to defeat the siX-hour
day, six-hour pay suggestion"

vigorously oppose the suggestion of the
a COPY of this resolution be sent to the

doubtedly TO their embarrassment and
the embarrassment of this depart
ment"
The national commander. the resolu-
ton pointed out, on January % sug-
gested that the Government workers
be asked to accept siX-hour day and
pay basis This proposal, the resolu-
ton insisted, does, not express the
