THE COOPERATION Of TOMORROW

In a recent issue, the Dairymen's
League News commented on future farm
cooperators-the children Of the parents
who belong to the Dairymen's League,
all Of whom are learning some Of the
simple, yet fundamental, rules Of CO.
operation.
1t would be excellent idea if all farm
ers and others interested in cooperation
made an attempt to develop an under
standing of it in the minds and hearts of
the producers of tomorrow. A genera
ton raised almost from infancy with a
belief in cooperative principles, and with
constant opportunity ito watch them
evolve and win success, should make in
calculable future agricultural progress.
This is an especially interesting
supposition in the light of present agri-
cultural conditions. 1t is said that much
Of the difficulty experienced by the De
partment Of Agriculture in raising the
farm income is due to the fact that too
many farmers are still disorganized, and
it is a long and arduous task to bring
them together on a common footing. The
cooperatives are making valiant drives
to enlist more numbers now - and they
are succeeding. but Lney WOulu nave
succeeded in a much shorter period and
the farmer of today been schooled in Co
operation by his forebears.
Stronger cooperatives, better sup
ported-that is the ideal now. And along
with it, there should be plans for assur-
ing the fullest Towering of the coopera-
tive scheme through preparing farm
children to take. their place in organized
agriculture.

HOW ABOUT THE TAX
TRUST

Recently a letter signed by the
President Of the Puget Sound Light
and Power Company appeared IL il
advertisement in newspapers Of that
area. 1t dealt with that nvtbioaI
ogre, the Power Trust, An raia III
part: Nov this Power TO-,
paganda is largely political raog,ot
eering. Some Of the boys must hau.
straw men to lambast, and ike M
QulXote, windmills to fight. All +bis
agitation Of the power oue.-io,
keeps folks minds off the alI-in,-
portant tax question. Taxes are IL
day very much more Of a threat ~
the security Of homes and incomes
than electric rates. Tax reduction of-
fers q fertile field for those who
would effectively serve in public Of
fice.n
The letter might likewise have
SAID that taxes are a very important
factor IN the making Of electric
rates. Power and light companies
pay an extremely large percentage
81 their earnings to government
na--cnal state and local. An exceu-
ent example Of this is the Common
wealth and Southern Corporations
which has recently come into the
limelight because Of threatened tax
Tree governmental competition from
the Muscle Shoals development. The
average rate obtained by the six
southern subsidiaries Of this COM
pany Tor each kilowatt-hour of
aomestlc power sold in 1882 was !
40 cents. During that year these COM
panies paid in taxes an amount
~equaling ver one-half Of their gross
receipts from domestic service. Had
operations been tax-free, with this
sum credited to the domestic user Of
electricity, his rate would have been
2.72 cents-less than half.
The ~so-called Power Trust il u
great deal less important to the peo-
pie OF America than the tax trust

prosperity and progress-and all the
political chatter in the world can't
eliminate that fact.

March Events
By REV. ALBERT KUHN

In Cuba the Revolutionary govern
ment set up by the army and the students
and their Allies is still existing though
it's collapse is expected from week to
week. The chief reason for its weakness
is the refusal Of the rank and file OF the
people to pay taxes. The opponents OF the
gofernment add to this refusal the or
ganization of general strikes. In the

SOVIET
(FrOm The Daily WOrker)

The diplomatic negotiations looking
towards recognition Of the Union OF So
cialist Sovet Republics by the United
States is an acknowledgement of the
achievements of the Soviet Union, Of its
stability and it's policies of peace. All
militant workers throughout the United
States who have constantly worked and
fought for recognition, will rejoice on
the occasion of this victory for the Soviet
Union.
American imperialism, one of the
bitterest enemies Of the victorious pro-
l~etarian revolution in the Soviet Union,
one Of the chief instigators of war a.
gainst the Soviet Union, is forced to take
steps to extend diplomatic recognition.
British, Japanese and French imperial
ism, for some time have already taken
this step, without in the least slackening
their preparations for war. japanese i'm
perialism, whose recognition is OF long
standing, is at this very moment seeking
to provoke war.
Why does the Roosevelt regime at
this time open diplomatic conversations?
The downward sweep Of capitalist
economy in the United States, the col
lapse Of the N. R. A. as a promised solu-
ton fo the capitalist crisis, is making
Wall Street scour the world for markets.
The Soviet Union peacefully building So
cialism is ready to open trade relations
with the United States as it already has
with other capitalist powers. The Roose-
welt regime now grasps for this market.
That the foremost imperialist power
stands ready to open diplomatic and
trade relations, is powerful testimony to
the stability, the strength and Socialist
advances of the U. s.. S. R.
At the same time, in the rapid pre-
paration for ~imperialist war, the Roose-
welt regime while arming itself for war,
spouts phrases and engineers maneUvers
to give the appearance Of peaceful in
tent. Recognition of the U. S. S. r. which
is contemplated, is a peace maneuver
that does not lessen one jot the rapid
moves to war on the part of Wall Street.
The Roosevelt regime, through the
Wall Street bankers supports the Hitler
dictatorship in its anti-Soviet war
thrusts. While antagonistic to Japan, the
United States seeks to provoke a war Of
Japan against the Soviet Union to weak
en- both, and then to hammer out the unit
ed front Of all the imperialists against
their main and implacable enemy = the
victorious proletarian revolution SYM
bolized by the U. S. S. R.
While recognition would open the
way for trade relations, which together
with loans would provide a market for
some of the ~overproduced commodities
in the United States, it by no means Of
fers a solution for the corroding capital
list crisis.
The chief conflict in the present-day
world is between the system Of advanc-
ing Socialism and Of decaying world
capitalism. The foremost representative

YES - COOPERATION
PAYS

Here is an interesting fact an
pearlng in a bulletin of the American
Cotton Cooperative Association.
During the past h~alf-dozen wears
cooperative gins have handled, Oh
tne average, more than twice as
the average for all gins. They have
made money in many instances
Where other gins have failed. and .
large part Of the money received III
them has been returned to growers
IN the form Of patronage dividends.
IN addition, the cooperative gins have
improved cotton quality through in
stalllng the best and most modern
machinery and achieving the highest
standards of service.
This is just one more testimonial
to the achievements Of farm W.
operatlyes-whether they deal in
cotton or wheat O dairy products or
fruit. They've revolutionized old
methods and banished ancient and
fallaclous ideas. They've shown the
progressive farmer which side his
bread is buttered on. They've demon
strated beyond argument that disor-
gained farmers are farmers On their
way to the receives court-and that
organization can bring agriculture

A BIG MAN SPEAKS

With so many influences and agen-
cies working to extend the socialist pro-
gram in the United States, it is hearten-
ing to those who believe in the superior
ity Of private initiative and enterprise,
to read the following courageous express
sions from a recent address Of former
governor Alfred E. Smith at the Century
Of Progress exposition in Chicago. Mr..
Smith said, in part:
CAS- | went through the fair | thought
to myself that there is still another great
lesson for the people Of this country to
learn-Aside from the assistance Of
Divine Providence, what has made this
century Of progress?
IF you will study this fair, you will
be obliged to come to the conclusion that
this century Of progress was brought
about by individual; by the strength, the
power, the courage, the brains and the
ability of the men and women Of the Re
public Of North America. Whether you
point to progress in industry, science, in
v~ention, transportation, or the arts,
what you see here is the triumph Of the
mind and the hand of free men, without
dictatorship.
Ninety per cent Of the exhibits here
mark advances in our civilization due en-
tirely to individuals, private individuals,
working without inspiration, compul-
sion, control or even suggestion from the
government itself. In fact, it is note
worthy that the government has done
very little to contribute to this century
of progress, while on the other hand,
much has been prevented, much has been
thwarted, much has been Kindred, by the
heavy, cold, clammy hand of bureau
cracy.
"Now let us not be too cynical about
the motives that have actuated the men
who have wrought these buildings which
house miracles of science and invention.
Pride Of achievement, ambition to excel,
love Of work and art have had more to do
with it than the mere desire to make
money or to exploit others. And it is a
matter Of common fact-that govern
ment is at it's best when it supplements
and cooperates with private industry.
"And a century from nov another
exposition will arrive here, to mark an
other century of triumphant progress of
free men, under the American Constitu-
ton"

execution in most cases. There is no ex-
cuse for forgetting them. They mean
money in our pockets, and safer, hap
pier living.
The Omaha guide., 1933-11-11

Of crisis-ridden capitalism, the United
States, is now forced to step aside from
its traditional policy Of non-recognition
and undertake diplomatic negotiations
with the workers. fatherland.
All workers while greeting this
achievement Of the Soviet Union should
realize that now, more than ever, they
must be prepared to resist the trend to-
ward Fascism and war developed by the
imperialist nations, particularly the
United States. They must, now more
than ever, be on their guard ready to de-
fend the Soviet Union against all its enc
mics.

Emergency Blu. Keeps
Aged Woman Tied i'm
Red Tape; Is Starving

NEW YORK.-An elderly woman
worker reports to the Daily Worker
that she registered several months
ago at the Emergency Work Bureau.
After answering hundred and one
questions, and proving her right to
job, she was told that she would be
notified when she could make an
application. After much waiting, she
received notice that she might file
an application. More silly questions
were asked, and she was promised
that an investigator would call on
her within few days. No one came.
Three times she telephoned, three
times she was promised that her
case would be Investigated immedi-
ately, and still no one has come.
She went down again herself,
listened to the lying excuses offered
her, and went home to wait for an
investigator to come.
And still her case Is pending, for
no one has come to see her.
Such gross neglect of duty, such
indifference to what is happening TO
those in need is only another in
stance of the manner in which the
E. w. B. is operating. They force
contributions from the poorly paid
workers, and then when the time for
helping others comes they fall down
on the job.

Relief Bureau Head
Sends Police Against
Jobless Asking Food

NEW YORK.-Ordering their ar
rest and dispersal after they had
continually exposed him, Supervisor
Mallon, directed the police TO attack
a group of workers demanding relief
at the Home Relief Bureau, 25th and
Benson AYES. The group was COM
posed Of members of the Coney Is
land, Brighton Beach and Bath Beach
Unemployed Councils.
When four workers went to the
assistance of a woman being beaten
by a cop, they were also turned upon
and beaten, and have been charged
with assault and diSorderly conduct.
One woman, Mrs. Bloom, came with
a disposSess notice. Somehow the
cops and supervisor thought a blow
or two on the head would fix that
After doing that they arrested her
and held her in 500 BAIL
The supervisor, lmsatisfied with
too few arrests directed the police to
sCour the neighborhood and bring in
all suspected persons. Three blocks
away they came across Mrs. Lena
ILOo6llDcIS, 0dilluel NOIJOll ana Harry
Cation, who were identified by NAL
Ion as unemployed leaders and ar
rested and held in $500 bail. Picked
up by police two blocks away, two
other workers, Alex Rabinowitz and
Sarah Pornack, we're identified and
arrested and held in 500 bail The
cases of all these workers will come
up in the Coney Island Court, 9th
ST., Thursday morning at 9 o'clock.
Workers should show their solidarity
and come to the court to demand
their freedom.
Harry Cation, an ex-Seryicenlan,
whose pay is taxed by the Gibson
Committee, came to the Home Relief
Bureau, to see how 1t functions. And
he will surely remember what he felt
and saw. Though he was unconnect-
ed with the committee, he was beat
en- up too.
Other workers arrested, but whose
cases were dismissed are: Mildred
SoloWay, Sam Schwartz. Anna Weir
dorf, Ceaser Veiccio, and Tony Po-
Jumbo.

Rockford Company in
Terror Drive Against
Unemployed Workers

ROCKFORD, Ill.--Ernest H. Carl
son, unemployed worker framed on a
charge of flashing a gun" at an
agent of the electric company sent
to disconnect lights at the Carlson
home, is now facing trial.
Carlson was released following his
arrest OH $500 bond furnished by
the International Labor Defense.
When the agent came to his home,
Carlson objected to the confiscation
of wires which belonged to him. 1t
is the practice of the company, not
only to shut off the lights, but also TO
cut off the wires and take them
away SO as to make it more difficult
for the workers to get the power re-
connected.
The Unemployed Councils and the
LID. have rallied In defense of this
worker and are organizing, at the
same time, delegation to the electric
company to demand withdrawal OF
charges against Carlson and to put a
stop to the vicious practices Of the
company.
