VI. OrganizatiOnal Problems of
the Collective Farm Movement.
/. The creation of collective farm.
cadnes is one of the most import
ant conditions for the consolida-
ton of collectivization. The basis
of this work must be the promo
ton of new cadres from among.
the mass of collective farm men,
bers, themselves. This was also
the main purpose of sending. U.s.
600 workers to work on the c0llec-
tive farms. Many of them have
already proved excellent organic
ers of collective farm economy and
have won standing for themselves
among the collective farm mem
bers, particularly when they made
It their chief task to aid In rails
ing cadres from among the collec-
tive farm workers themselves. The
Party takes the position that in
the next year or two, under the In
fluence exerted by the advanced
workers, there will certainly spring
up from the mass of collective
farm members tens of thousands
with genuine organizing talent
who will become real builders Of
socialism in agriculture.

the present deprecated prices.
When asked by one of the con-
gressmen to give the data of the
amount of profits that the Land
Banks had been making in this
manner, Bestor refused on the
ground that they were matters of
"private concern" He later agreed
to provide these figures upon as
surance of the Committee that
they would be received in execu-
tive session and held as confiden-
tial-in others words, that they
would not be published so that the
tOiling farmers of the United
States could see how the Land
Banks were making tens of thOus-
ands of dollars by buying up at
deprecated prices the bonds on
which the farmers were paying
their life blood in interest.
In the hearing which took place
on March 9, Frank w. Blair, pres
ident of the Joint Stock Land
Bankers Association. who headed
a group of these Joint Stock Land
Bank representatives, admitted
that the money to buy the land
bank bonds in the market CAME
FROM THE SALE OF THE

the basis of the development OF
state and collective farms, the
Party must in the immediate fut-
ure proceed to the development OF
agriculture in the consuming zone
by transforming it into an import
ant district for dairy farming,
market gardening, hog-breeding
and flax growing.
The Congress draws particular
attention to the fact that it is abb
solutely impossible to underestim-
ate the value of the existing col
lective farms in these regions
solely on the ground that there
were only Z to per cent of them
in the spring of this year (1930)
instead of the vastly exaggerated
percentage formerly figured on
paper. The Congress does this as
a result of the experience in the
development of collectivizatiOn in
the grain producing zone, where
last year the number of collective
farms did not exceed the number
now existing in the consuming
zone, and where this small num-
Der of collective farms played q
most important role in the subse-
ouent expansion of the entire col

the necessity of undertaking wide
spread preparatory work for a

This preparatory work should

and middle peasantry, beginning
with the village cooperative and
special cooperative associations
for production and supply. !.
2. The widespread extension OF

stations.
d. The organization of stat
farms, especially for cotton, dairy

the Lyric Theater, New York, in
1909. Miss Ida Brooks Hunt was
it's first prima donna. The

Walter, with his three cronies,

Powell Effective
in Role Of Slick
Promoter

The screen villains Of yesterday
are turning their hands to new
pursuits.
Take william Powell, who is
featured in High Pressure" at
the Metropolitan this week.
Powell once played as deep-dyed
a villain as ever waxed a
moustache. Then he was fea-
tured as the ace detective in
mystery thrillers, and now he
blossoms forth as the high
powered promoter-strictly on
the level, mind you, but inclined
to eXaggerate.
Powell is effective in this "Get-
Rich-Quick Wallingford" role and
the picture moves along at a
rapid pace, thanks largely to his
efforts. Smooth tongued, fast
talking, and very convincing in
his high-preSsure salesmanship,
he fits the popular conception
of the slick promoter who foists
on the public a worthless stock
in some gloden enterprise.
Powell is called in to promote
the sale of an artificial rubber
stock. He opens a magnificent
suite of offices, launches a gi-
gantic stock-selling campaign,
only to discover that the inventor
of the rubber formula has dis
appeared. The promoter and his
associates are left holding the
well-known bag.
The promoter comes out of
this deal by the skin of his
teeth and he promises the girl
friend to tread the straight and
narrow henceforth, at the same
time listening to the siren call
OF riches in a new PROPOSE
ton"
Evelyn Brent lends her charm
and Svelte figure to the role
Of the promoters sweetheart and
George Sidney as Colonel Gins
berg. the voluble partner of the
promoter, is chiefly responsible
for the fits of laughter that
seize the audience.
