League Sessions
Begin in Shadow
OF War, Fascisnl

GENEVA, Sept. 25.-With the
shadow of war and Fascism hanging
over the capitalist world, the League
of Nations opened its sessions here
today.
War was the subject of the opening
speech by Premier Johan Mowinckel
OF Norway, president of the League
Council. Forced to admit that war
was an urgent menace, he added that
the Four-Power Treaty, which was an
attempt of Great Britain, France,
Italy and Germany to combine in an
anti-Soviet united front, could be an
laid to peace
Unemployment is not on the agen-
da, because ito discuss it would con-
tribute to political dissensions," Mo-
winckel said.
Thanked by large Nazi bodyguard
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi German Min
lister of Propaganda, appeared to rep
resent the Hitler government.

'wheat SURPRISES that makes hungry
mouths"
And to remedy this oversupply of
food that causes SO much hunger,
Roosevelt's appointed farm leader,
proposed last night that the farmers
Immediately destroy 100000 acres
of their best wheat lands. Then
there will be less food to eat, and
consequently, less hunger, according
to the insane, capitalist logic of WAL
lace.
And Wallace's capitalist insanity
IS not restricted to words. He has
already carried out the destruction
CT one-third of the cotton crop.
His agents have already drowned
several hundred thousand choice pigs
IN the waters of the Mississippi, so
that there won't be too much meat"
And now he is busy dumping
American wheat abroad in order to
raise bread prices here.
Roosevelt thinks he is a wonder
But to the hungry workers he looks
remarkably like menace to
numanity-s menace that will have
10 be removed.

Union Workers Have
Special Task in
Struggle
BY JACK STACHEL
Assistant Secretary, Trade Union
Unity Iea~ue


The U, S. Con~rcss Against War
which will convene in the city of
New York on September 90 must re-
ceive the support of every trade
union, of every trade unionist and
especially of militant trade uniono
and militant trade unicnists. Why?
Because at no time was the actual
danger of another world imperialist
war as great as today.
This is so despite the efforts of the
capitalists and the pacif1sts to try to
create the impression that the dan
ger of war is lessened. This is SO de-
spite the fact that The Soviet Union,
through its genuine peace policy, has
been able to force a number of cap
italist governments to acknowledge
this peace policy publicly by signing
pacts with the Soviet Union. And
more and more the U. S. Wall Street
government is playing the central
role in the whole international de-
velopment. ~

not going to get themselves killed in
the speed-up for Henry Ford.
The Ford plant started to work on
a 4-day week. This was brought
about by reduction in orders and
a tremendous increase in speed-up.
Large numbers of men have been
laid off. The reduction in the num-
Der of working days means a 20 per
cent decrease in weekly wages for
those working.
The increased production has al
ready brought a considerable piling
up of stocks. According to veteran
workers, this always precedes a mass
lay-off and shut down of the plant.

 The average of education in this camp is not high. There are 1o1 men with only grammar school educations or less. Two listed no schooling at all; many had only three and four years in grammar school to their credit. Ninety-two of the campers received some high school education. though only 20 were high school graduates.
 One college graduate is listed in the camp. He was graduated in June, 1892, and since that time had been able to get only part time employment at irregular in- tervals. He was trained for sci- entific technical work and aided in the preparation of widely known text book. Six other men in the camp have attended col lege.

Camp Roosevelt, near Luray, Va, May 1.-The human parade that wends it's way into the nations de- pleted timber lands is a cross section of depression-stricken young America.
 President Roosevelt's reforesta-' ton program represents practical ly the first continuous employment that scores of the youths in this encampment ever have known.
 The average age of the reforest- ation recruits is about 20. Only 8 few near the age limit of 25. Sit- ting around camp-fires in the eve- nings or at rest during daytime recess hours, these young men only recently removed from the ranks of the unemployed--give revealing accounts of themselves.
 Most common are stories of weeks and months spent in mo- madic travel from state to state, with work to be had only a few days here and there for food and lodging. One hears of destitute families, with dependent mothers and fathers, now made happier by the assurance of a definite income from their sons toll. Many boys, AAh0 COlAS66 AESSutAtcn away HUH home for the first time, exult at the opportunity to leave towns where they have spent long months of enforced idleness.

 A sense of something new, something better, a sort of "New Dear' spirit pervades the atmos- phere here. The forest recruits have been brought up in the past thre years of depression. A result of this has been that they do not know how to work. They are will ing, however, and are being taught the need for and the way to work.
 They will take Spells and grumble about the food, the work, the treatment accorded to them by those in charge, the mountain life, the isolation from bright lights.
 However, 90 per cent of the days the men are happy, carefree. They talk about the work they have done. They boast about who can swing the heaviest sledge hammer, who can swing an axe most ac- curately.

Ralph M. Pearson, nationally known authority on modern art, spoke last night at the spring meeting of the Mattatuck Histor- ical society. He urged efforts to produce art which synchronizes with the present scheme of things instead of copying extensively from our forefathers. He declared that the country should turn to creative art so as to keep in harmony with tho times.
