RESPONSIBILITY OF DIRECTORS

Directors of corporations who by
long continued habit have come to
look upon their jobs as sinecures Gre
ated principally to enable them to
pocket handsome fees for attending
board meetings will do we'll to follow
the course of proceedings in the case
of the bankrupt insult Securities Cor
poration.
Garfield Charles, referee in bank
ruptcy, after a hearing on the peti-
ton of the receivers of that sadly
Debated concern, whose stockholders
were left apparently holding the bag
after the great debacle, has authoriz-
ed them to file suit to recover from
the directors S37, 100000 alleged to
have been lost because of their fail
ure to exercise proper care and iudg-
ment in supervising the work of their
executive officers.
The contention, if sustained by the
courts, will put period to the laissez
faire attitude of directors who have
been content to draw their pay for
understanding the activities of COM
pany officials, often on more than ex
post facto approval of undertakings
already fait accompli when brought
to the attention of the boards.

" Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

While the echoes of Senator Cou-
zens' blasting away in Detroit still
echoes over the landscape, let us con-
slider another situation that packs a
laugh.
In Washington, D. c., bank con-
solidation has just taken place,
bringing eleven busted banks together
under one brand new tent.
The officers of this consolidation
are front-paged as bright and shining
lights. Something of the same type
exists in many other cities. Aha, here
are the master minds who have built
these fine new institutions!
But likewise, here are the gentle
men who headed the banks that broke!
Here are the failures. Here are the
bankers who headed the banks that
went kerflop.
Today's geewhizzers were yester-
days biggest busts.
It's something like the old cry of
"The king is dead; long live the king"
This situation is worth laugh out
of any mans belt line.
| But as for kings in general, these
are parlous times. The Big Powerful
Men of finance and industry are be-
ing taught that there is going to be
such a thing in America as Indus
trial Law and Order and that human
welfare counts in No. l position.
1t is true that some of them are
squawking mighty hard and some are
trying to throw stones in the machin-
cry. They hate to give up their an
cient powers, but little by little they
ARE giving up and new day is rap
idly coming around the corner.
AS matter of fact, one of the
things that helped make the new day
possible-that helped to create the
sentiment for twas the terrible
failure of the big bankers, the boys
who have posed as guardians and
keepers and repositories of all knowl-
edge. When they went into their ia
nous nose dive they sacrificed the re-
spect built up by generations of prop
aganda, and the people came to see
what they have always seen when an
idol toppled over.
The fact that some of the powerful
gentry have been and are bucking in
the traces, doesn't mean a great deal,
except that they are suffering with
the usual astigmatism of their type.
The cars are coming and the cars
will keep coming. Plenty fast, too.
Plenty fast.
If NRA should by any chance fail,
the chances are the next congress
would come across with a law Great
ing an absolute dictatorship and
wouldn't THAT jar the financial
monarchs?
But that isn't likely to be needed.
Behind the scenes clever moves are
being made by set of government
officials whose diplomacy is just a
shade better than that of the Bour-
bons, who never were particularly
bright anyway.
The bankers who are merging
their wrecks, under government su-
zerainty, trying to stand forth like
Great Figures, are just few of the
failures. The truth is, the so-called
top layer of the whole business world
is composed of failures. They are the
men who let America go smash in
1929.
The nation has somehow managed
to reach the conclusion that the time
has gone for rulership by the failures
and so public sentiment climbs day
by day for this new process of law
and order in industry, with change
in the point of control. 1t is good!

the upward swing in the business
cycle, it said.

at once" the letter added.

city. Not being an industrial center,
it is relatively little touched by the
building boom Of the Five Year Plan.
Its houses Of old-style architecture

by the bold modernistic structures

the country.
An arcade facing the main street
Of the town attracted my curiosity.
I found it to be a waiting station
and ticket office for rail and bus
lines. The people at the waiting sta
ton presented a cross section of the
Crimean population. No one nation
atty in Crimea forms a majority of
the population, though Tartars form
a plurality. In the buzz Of languages

GENEVA, June 16.--The League Of
Nations committee on, the Chaco
war between Bolivia and Paraguay
decided today to recommend a spe-
cial session of the League Council
before the end of July in an effort
to compose the conflict
A note was received yesterday from
Bolivia, which is backed by United
States imperialism, rejecting the
Leagues plan for cessation of hos
tilities and arbitration by League
appointees, and demanding that an
arbitral tribunal be formed consist
ing of the presidents of the Supreme
Courts of the American nations.
A Paraguayan note was received
which accepted the Leagues scheme.
Since Paraguay is acting as the
agent of British imperialism, which
is powerful in the League, this
should surprise no one.
The Paraguayan note described
the Bolivian memorandum as "ab-
surd and unacceptable" while the
Bolivian note characterized Para
guay's territorial claims as mon
strous." Paraguay offered to cancel

I.-MOSCOW-EvPATORIA

MOSCOW, o. s. s. R.-Late in
March snow was still clinging to the
edges Of the fields in the central
region Of the q. S. S. r., making its
last desperate stand against the early
spring. But in the Crimea, 7 knew by
the papers, the spring sowing cam
paign was in full swing. I, therefore,
decided to go straight to Crimea
without stopovers and to work my
way back through the Ukraine by
easy stages as the spring sowing got
under way in that section.
The countryside traversed by the
Moscow-SebaStopol express is rather
monotonous in appearance, especially
IN early spring, when the fields are
still bare and the variety of crops
has not yet painted its checkered
designs upon the vast stretches of
fiat land The absence of forests and
of large bodies of water makes the
landscape less attractive.
Green Patches Appear
Here and there patches OF timid
greenish down relieve the prevailing
brown of the soil. These green
patches, which look like delicate
pastel daubs against a background of
muddy browns, are the first visible
results Of the winter sowing.
AS the train proceeds further south,
the greenish patches occur more fire.
quently. Apparently much Of the area
in these parts was sown with winter
wheat and rye, and the plentiful
snow has obviously served as warm
blanket for the seeds, making it coy
for them to undergo the first changes
in the cycle OF their life. Villages
with their straw-roofed houses streak
the landscape at frequent intervals.
In contrast to the American farms,
the population Of Russian rural com
munities live in villages, with the
fields considerable distance away
from the settlement. Except for arti-
fetal hedges or other boundary
marks, there was nothing to indicate
the individual holdings Of the peas
ants-when individual holdings were
still the rule. The land of the entire
community was generally one I'M
broken area, and this circumstance
no doubt facilitated the transition to
collective large-scale farming.
The relation Of the settlement to its
land remains the same, only the inner
boundary lines have been erased. 1t
is this scheme Of farming that adds
to the baroness and the sense Of end
lessness of the Russian countryside.
Between one village and another
there is nothing but land.
A Worker on Vacation
In the train I made the acquain-
tance of young worker from West
srn Siberia. He had been six days
making his way to Evpatoria, a sea-
shore and health resort on the Cri-
mean coast. In recognition Of his
good work he was given six weeks
vacation with pay. His fare to Ev-
patoria was also paid by the factory,
and at Eypatoria there was a place
reserved for him in one Of the best
rest homes, also free of charge.

list countries are in the throes Of Al
lasting crisis.
The editorial states: 1.-THE Soviet
delegation at the London Conference,
in Litvinov's speech. did not engage
"reminiscences about the miscal-
culations of the capitalist world Lit
vinov could calmly point out the
smoking stacks Of the Soviet factories
and the extinguished furnaces Of the
capitalist world He could calmly
point out the total disappearance Of
unemployment in our country, while
the capitalist world seeks, but can
not find way out Of the crisis. The
representative of the Soviet govern
ment is no medicine man. He could
not propose to the capitalists rem
edies that would save capitalism.
But LitvinoY was in a position to
tell the capitalist world that the
Soviet Union was ready to place
billion dollars worth Of orders, in ad-
dition to current orders if the cap

tending its markets for the disposal
of its goods, will extend to it the

FROM BIRMINGHAM, Alabama
L comes the following verses from
H. B., a recruit on one OF those
military training camps, so delicately
called "reforestation" camps.
Here in Gods open spaces,
The cool, inviting, healthful places,
Weakened bodies and yellowed faces,
Will develop into men.
Swing that axe little faster,
You're working now for real master,
Hurry, hurry and still faster,
Swing that axe again.
Hye you there, straighten that Shout
der,
Well turn you yet into soldier,
Heave away with this boulder,
Come on here and lend hand,
You with that COMPOUNDED band,
Stalking as if you owned this land.
Get ready for drill;
Be prepared all of you,
One, two, three, four, one nd two,
Lunge parry two by two
Snappier there, and more holder;
Lunge, parry, lunge and parry,
Every Tom, Dick and Harry,
And you there, singing canary
Should make yet good soldiers
Good feeding for the guns,
Kids like you stopped the Huns,
Kids like you and the rest of the
buns
Stopped the German swine.
Hold that gun little higher,
Git back into line.
THE NAVY is elated. Roosevelt has
1 given them the right to go ahead
on the biggest Navy building pro-
gram since the last war.
Rear Admiral Emory Long cannot
hide his Joy. He says, "This is the first
time since the World War that we
have had a definite policy. We know
now what to expect"
Behind Roosevelt's bland grin is
the snarl Of rabid imperialist big
Navy war monger.
The Admiral knows what to ex-
pect. The workers also know what
to expect-slaughter to protect the
profits of their exploiters.
DUT the Rear Admiral will make the
II unhappy discovery that the
workers have learned a lot, and will
learn even more in the coming
events.

NAU RANK AND
FILE REVOLVING
AGAINST LEADERS
1870 Storm Troopers
Expelled in Berlin for
"Unreliability"

ZURICH, Switzerland, June T.
The actiYist members of the Nad
Party, especially the storm troop
rank and file, are growing more dis
satisfied every day, according to in
formation furnished the Zurich
"Volksrecht" by a leading Berlin
journalist.
The "Volksrecht" reports that 1870
storm troopers were expelled from
the Nazi party in Berlin from May l
to May Is, 1888, because of '1ack of
political reliability" that is, because
they rebelled against the capitalist
course Of the Hitler regime.
Nazi Revolt In Berlin
A violent revolt took place on May
%, on the occasion of a meeting of
the members of the Nazi Party in
Neukoelln, suburb of Berlin. When
the district leader OF the Storm
Troops tried to read the names of
those expelled from the Nazi Party,
he was howled down by the singing
Of the International" The singing
continued until the Storm Troop
leader and his detachment were
forced to leave the meeting. The
members present then unanimously
adopted a resolution expressing their
solidarity with those expelled.
The situation within the Nazi
Party has grown 50 grave that Major
Roehm, leader Of the Storm Troops
was forced to issue circular letter
on May 80 to all military forrna-
lions, saying that 'it was not the job
Of the Brown soldiers in the Third
Reich to issue political ultimatums
or to address these damands to the
highest leaders"
The circular adds: "Those taking
part In such actions violate the vol
unfairly adopted rule of obedience

proletarian solidarity.
Fascism In Italy.

After the protest telegram was
adopted, the leader Of the Italian
Anti-Fascist movement gave a terse
picture of the ten years of expert
ence of the italian working class IN
der Fascist rule, which gave neither
work nor bread as it had promised,
but 80 per cent wage-cut, 12-hour
day, practically no unemployment re-
lief, etc."
while the Socialist Party demon
allies the masses with its defeatisrn,
the dauntless Italian proletariat has
been fighting for the past ten years
and will continue its fight until its
successful termination" (Applause)
PiIsudski Fascisan in Poland
A leader Of the Anti Fascist front
Of Poland then gave an extensive
description Of the situation of the
Polish workers, peasants, middle
classes and the oppressed national
minorities. He described how the
mass struggle is rising increasingly
in spite of the unprecedented terror,
which is why fascisn is resorting to
various maneuvers. 'In spite of the
few delegates present from Poland,
their election was preceded by a very
big campaign which succeeded in
nobilizing the masses on a very wide
front" The speaker closed with the
assurance that the iron fist of the
Polish working class would smash
PilsudSki.
Bulgarian Terror
A Bulgarian delegate then por-
trayed the bloody rule of Bulgarian
fascism, and told the Congress of
the experience gained in struggle by
the Bulgarian workers, the majority
OF whom, together with large sea
tons of the poor and middle peas
antry, is already fighting under rev.
dictionary leadership.
Congress Not Solely Communist
Affair
The presidium then read state
ment signed by Bergery, Langevin,
Laugier, Dalsau, Malarte, Etcheverry
cazaubon and Barbusse, protesting
against the claim of Chiappe, Paris
Prefect of Police, that the Congress
is purely Communist affair. The
statement pointed out that the ma
jority of the French Organizing
Committee for the Congress are not
members of the French Communist
Party.
After declaration by the Social
list Party of Italy (Maximalist wing
affiliating with the Congress, Salan
a Spanish delegate (brother of the
revolutionary fighter murdered I'M
der the Berenguer dictatorship
spoke.
Fascist Peril In Belgium
He was followed by Deputy.
Lahaut, leader Of the Belgian miners
who pictured the fascist peril in Bel
GUM. He characterized the emer-
gency powers Of the Belgian govern
ment as step in the direction Of
fascism, and reported on the progress
Of the united front despite the re-
sistauce Of the yeformist leaders
