 "I had too many trump"-you would not expect to hear a bridge player make that remark very of- ten. However, that is the trouble some part of the following hand.
 The declarer finds himself with onetoo many trump and If he IS not careful to get rid of this trump, his contract will be de- feated.
 The Bidding
 The contract bidding, under the writer's system, which is the one over one, would be South one heart, West pass. North does not have normal support in hearts but under this system partner cannot pass when there is no intervening bid if he holds as little as two queens. North in this case holds a king and queen and his proper response is one no trump.

Terming this mobilization as
the highest duty of all toiling

COTTON SUPPLY
HAS DOUBLED
Increase of 500 in Year
and Almost 1000 in
Two Years

Due TO the restitution of the
toiling masses turnout the world
the supply of cotton on hand in
the United States on May 1 was,
according to the department of
agriculture, almost twice as large
as two years ago. The department
in it's statement issued on June /
estimated the present supply to be
around 12,119,0O0 bales, an in
crease of fifty per cent over May
L, 1881 when the supply amount
ed to 8,584,000 bales, and almost
twice as large as the supply on
May 1, 1880 when the supply a
mounted to 1922, 900 bales.
For the crop year 1892 the
crop amounted TO 27,5OO,00O bales
the second largest world crop on
record. The production decrease
of 1854, 900 bales outside of the
United States was more than off
set by an increase of 3,164, 900 il
United States.
Despite this great supply tht
toiling masses go ragged becaus,

EQUIPMENT IN
SHARP DECLINE
Production Falls to 40 Per
Cent of 1880 and 35
Per Cent of 1929

During 1881 there was almost
a 900 decline in value of pro-
duction of farm equipment and
related products as compared
with 1880. In 1881 this amount
ed to $210,068, 466, about 400 Of
the value of production In 1890
of $5O5, 717,023, and one-third OF
the value produced in 1929
which amounted to $606, 1921 ,812
The production values for the
more important classes of farm
equipment are as follows: trac

capitalism. For decades the capi

only the drastic slump in equil

Ford, Negro Worker, Is Communist Candidate

James w. Ford, Communist
party candidate for vice president
of the United States and former
postal worker in Chicago, was
born December %, 1898, at Pratt
City, Alabama, of working class
parents. LymOn Ford, his father,
who died in 1925, had worked 35
years for the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company as a coal
miner and in the steel mills. His
mother, Nancy Reynolds, helped TO
supplement the meager family In
come by doing domestic work.
The earliest memory of James
w. Ford is the lynching.- Of. his
grandfather in GAINESVILLE, Georgia.
His grandfather worked as a track
walker between that town and At

and had many enemies among the
foremen. One night he was at

Adequately Secured
Foreign Sales Are
Impossible Solution

Earl C. Smith, president of the
Illinois Agricultural Association,
suggested before the house COM
mittee on Ways and Means on
May 81 that the feature of the
Garner bill directing the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation to
make loans financing sales of
surplus American crops in for
eign countries should be liberal
lied. He said that under the bill
the loans would have to be sad
equately secured" and pointed
out that with those two words
in the bill it is hardly possible
that any of the surplus will be
sold.
Smiths suggestion shows the
kind of relief that the farmers
can expect from capitalist re-
lief bill. The bill provides for
the foreign sales of surplus crops
when they are adequately Sc
cured" in other words on impos-
sible terms. The surplus crops
cannot be sold in Europe or else.
where abroad, any more than
they can be sold in the United
States, to the hungry masses
who have nothing to pay and car
give no security.
This provision of the bill is
nothing but a meaningless sol
handed to the farmers to keel
them hoping.

To All Worker, Exploited Farm
ers, Negro and White, Men and
Women.
Fellow Workers:
The elections are approaching
and every worker and farmer is
faced with vital issues affecting
his life and welfare. Millions of
workers in America are starving
IN the midst of plenty. Unem-
pIOyment continues to rise. Wages
are being cut again and again un-
der the Hoover regime of hunger
and oppression. The standard of
living of the masses is being re-
duced to a starvation level. Crush
ing tax burdens and debts are be-
ing added to the shoulders of the
workers, poor farmers and small
home owners, who are in danger
Of losing what little they still own
The big business interests are
placing the entire burden of the
economic crisis on the shoulder Oh
the masses. The danger of a new
world war, an imperialist war fol
profits, is at hand. War agains'

u. S. FORCED LABOR
Deportation Threat Is Used
to Drive Strikers Back
to Work

While the capitalist press and
the United States congress still
have the nerve to bring up at in
tervals the old cry of forced la
bor'' in Russia in one part after
another the same press boasts of
local forced labor in the most cal
loused and open manner. In the
beet strike of Colorado it has been
the regular practice to offer open
ly in court to dismiss charges if
the strikers will promise to return
to work. When they refuse every
weapon at the command of the
bosses is used to intimidate the
workers.
The Mexicans have to face at
all times discrimination almost as
bad as does the Negro. Growers,
sugar companies, merchants, and
courts take advantage of their ig-
norance of English to threaten,
cheat and brighten them. Depor-
tation is a constant terror hanging
over the head of the Mexican OF
any other foreign born worker who
dares to organize and demand
their rights. Turnout most of the
strike the workers have resisted
with splendid courage these strike
breaking efforts and have taker
Jail sentences rather than go back
to work.
Recently in Fort Morgan, how
ever, after serving ten days II
Jail and being threatened with de-
portation five men were literall!

HOOVER COVERS
HUNGER REGIME
May Have Another ''Plan'
of Farm Relief Says
Senator Steiwer

In order to deceive the farm
masses into expecting THAT they
could get some relief from the
Hoover government two senator's,
Carey and Steiwar, conferred with
him at different times on May %.
Senator Carey, of Wyoming, told
the president that some sort of
relief measure for agriculture
should be passed by congress. He
suggested nothing specific" how
ever.
Senator Steiwar of Oregon told
the President that he and Carey
were joint authors of a bill etc
provide for the creation of region
al agricultural credit corporations
for making loans and advances tt
farmers for crop and livestock
production.
Steiwar explained that what HI
was seeking was Ito fix it so th'

livestock loans" "The livestocl
market is bad off and we do no
want it broken by credit pressure,
he said. eve must get away from
enforced liquidation among live
stock men. Otherwise a most a
farming situation might arise"
He added that President Hoove
was Every anxious to have some
thing done" for the relief of agrl
culture and livestock men and ado
ed that while he was not author
lied to speak for him che woul
not be surprised to see the Pres
