"The list is representative of all sections of the United States. For my own satisfaction tabulated the votes of the A. A. U. members of the Tribunal and find that Helene Madison leads Barney Berlinger by 13 votes with Helen Wills Moody ranking third.
 A tabulatiOn of nOn-A. A. U. members shows Helen Wills Moody leading Berlinger by g votes. This shows that Berlinger was just about as popular with the non-A A. U. members of the Tribunal as with the A. A. U. members.
 "As regards Ellsworth Vines he received AT votes from the A. A. U members and GA from non- A. A U. members.
 Personally I feel that Helene Madison should have walked away with first honors on her perform ances in swimming but of course am glad that Berlinger won as he is at the end of his athletic career and Helene Madison will have a chance another year."

Hack Gets Blow


 The offer of $7,5OO to Hack Will son for his 1882 contract with the Cardinals may be just stating point for the argument. but it is the tipoff on how far the big league clubs are prepared to go in slashing the payrolls. especially for any athlete who had the tough luck to be on the skids in 1891.
 St. Louis does not pay big sal aries. The club let its highest paid pitcher, Burleigh Grimes, go largely because it did not want to pay him around $18,000 for 1892. Frank Frisch is the only highly paid per former on the club.
 Pepper Martin got $4,500 for his first year as a regular and it is extremely unlikely he will be of- fered more than $7,500 for this year.
 It is doubtful if the contract of Paul Derringer, another rookie star, will call for any more than that.
 The Cards, almost alone among the big league outfits, are going through the reconstruction period without having to prick the bubble of exorbitant salaries.

IN CHINA, the people are engaged
in a heroic and desperate strug-
gle against the imperialists who are
seeking the partition Of China
among themselves as they partition
ed Africa. In their attacks on the
Chinese masses, in their attempts
to crush revolutionary China, the
bosses of the United States, Japan,
England and France are able to sec
ure the support of the Chinese bank
ers, landlords and militarists, Just
as in the United States the southern
lynch bosses are able to secure the
support Of the Negro reformists in
their oppression of the Negro masses
and for the hideous attempt to burn
9 innocent Negro children in Ala
bama in the electric chair.
Japanese in FerOciOus Attacks
The Chinese masses are turning
on their imperialist oppresSors and
their native tools in the treacherous
Kuomintang Party (of the land
owners, bankers and militaristS). In
an attempt to drown in blood the
revolutionary struggles of the Chin
ese masses, the imperialists are now
engaged in a direct armed interview
ton against the Chinese people.

Kuomintang troops are constantly
deserving to join the Red Army.
The Kuomintang has three times
carried out major attacks on the
Chinese Soviet districts. The inn
perialists gunboats have co-operated
with these armies wherever pos
sible. All three attacks were deci-
sively beaten back by the Chinese
Red Army, supported by the entire
worker-peasant population Of the
Soviet districts. Women and chill
dren took up arms in defense Of
their Soviet districts.
Kuomintang in New Attack
The Kuomintang is now launching
fourth attack against the Soviet
districts-again at the orders of the
United States, British, Japanese and
French imperialists. The Kuonin-
tang and the imperialists will again
find themselves opposed by the en-
tire worker-peasant population Of
the Soviet districts.
In the Soviet districts the living
conditions of the toiling masses have
been tremendously improved. The
masses in the rest of China, groan-
ing under the frightful conditions
imposed by the Kuomintang and
imperialist bandits, are looking to
the Soviet districts, and are looking
across the Manchurian border to the
inspiring example of the masses of
the Soviet Union who are success
fully building socialism, and are
showing the toiling masses the new
non-capitalist road of development.

misery of the world crisis of dying
capitalism.
Plot Armed Intervention Against
Soviet Union
The imperialists are trying to crush
the Chinese Soviets. The ifnperi-
alists are plotting for armed in
tervention against the successful
building of Socialism in the Soviet
Union. Already Japanese troops
are concentrated in huge numbers

Union and threatening to invade

THE workers feel the menace of
war coming closer and closer and
they want to fight against it. They
not only are ready to struggle
against it but also want to under
stand what it is all about.
AS part of our anti-war cam
paign, both on April 6 itself, and
during the period of mobilization
for April 6, our great supply Of
anti-War literature must reach
these workers. The Party has for
distribution thirteen different PAM
phlets dealing with war and imper-
ialism alone, and besides that, has
IS different pamphlets, both agita-
tional and propaganda pamphlets,
on the Soviet Union. Besides that,
there are our unemployment pam
phlets and ScottSboro and other de-
Tense and terror pamphlets, all Of
which can be used in the mobiliza-
ton against the imperialist war
But this literature does not reach
the broad masses of workers who
want to know why the imperialist
war is upon us, and what they can
do against it. This is because the
Party has not yet learned efficient
methods of literature distribution,
SO that there is no free flow even
of our most popular and easily read
pamphlets from the Party to the
broad masses of workers.

more and more imminent. Security
against war must be created. This
can never be achieved by
roundabout ways, but only by the
direct way of total general disarma-
ment.
Triumph of Socialism Only Real
Guarantee Against War.
This is no Communist slogan. The
Soviet Delegation knows that the
triumph of Socialist principles, re-
moving the causes giving rise to
armed conflicts, is the only absolute
guarantee for peace. So long, how
ever, as these principals prevail only
in one-sixth of the world, there is
only one means of organizing Sec
urity against war, and that is, total
and general disarmament. One
proof of its practicability is the fact
that it is proposed by state with
a population of over 160 million.

THE Soviet Government is not tax
l ing part in this conference on
account of formal obligations, and
not under any stimulus from out
side. From the very first days of its
existence it condemned war as an
instrument of national policy by
deeds as well as by words, it de-
Clared against all indemnities and
territorial annexations and the OPP
ression of any nation by any other,
and proclaimed the principal of ma
tional self determination. Ever
since it has in its own policy pur-
sued with strict consistency the Inns
of the, peaceful and loyal cooper
alton with other states. Once war
is excluded as an instrument of ma
tional policy the Soviet Government
sees no need for maintaing armies
and other armed forces and, on its
first appearance at an international
conference-at Geneva ten years ago
it proposed total general disar-
mament as the only way of putting
an end to war. 1t renewed this
proposal as soon as it was invited
to take part in the work of the Pre-
paratory Commission for DiSarma-
ment. In making this proposal my
government took into consideration
the demands and claims of the
peoples throughout the world as well
as the spirit of its own people.
Who is so optimistic as to assure
us confidently that the events in
the Far East are not the beginning
of new war, which in extent, scope
and-thanks to the latest technical
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., may eclipse the
sinister fame Of the last war? Con-
tinents are no longer economically
and politically Isolated. There are
countries belonging to more than
one continent. There are not many
neighbors in Europe without serious
territorial accounts to settle. The
extent of disputed frontiers is great
er now than 1t was before the war.
Can we be sure that these differ
ences will not be thrown into the
melting pot, if a single one of the
European states should be dragged
into war? Granted that all this
may not happen, that the fire in the
Far East may be kept within local
bounds, even then can we be sure
that similar fires will not break out
in other parts of the world? What
is to prevent this? international
organizations and pactS? But we
have seen that they are incapable
of either preventing or ending milit-
airy activities in the Far East, with
all the consequences of these act
ivities.

ICE HARVEST NOW
IN FULL SWING

Ole Void of the Outlook bench was,
a business caller in Plentywood on
Monday. He Informed the Herald that
the ice harvest in his neighborhood
will commence this week. He and
three neighbors, Nels NJ. Olson, Os-
car Wagnild and Martin Norager will
work together in putting up their ice
crop. Each one will store from 80 to
40 tons of this winter crop.
These farmers are all firm believ-
ers IN having an abundance Of ice for
use throughout the summer months.
They are thus enabled to enjoy the
same privileges that city residents
have with their electric refrigeration.
They are enabled to keep their but
ter, cream, milk, eggs and other mar
ket produce in perfect condition for
many days longer than would be pos
sible otherwise. They do not have to
go to town as often to market their
~perlshable produce, as the ice keeps
hem fresh until they have sufficient
amount on hand to warrant the ex-
pense of a trip t. Plentyweed
In talking about this luxury MIR.
Void said the farmers had it all over
the town folks in this matter. He said
we haven't much to do now and it is
fun to get out and get a little exer-
else by putting up this ice. It doesn't
cost US anything except our time
which there is plenty of at this time.
You fellows in town have to pay
plenty for the electric current, and
besides that, you have to pay a big
price for the refrigerator. We get the
same benefits for which an ordinary
family pays at least SIS a year, but
IN addition to this We make q lot OF
money bringing in our produce nice
and fresh. We always get a better
price for our butter, cream and eggs
than WI would If we had no ice. and
in this way we make every ton of ice
earn us at least $40"
