people were waiting to join US in

Vividly they described Germany's
present reign of terror, explained
the importance of mass unity to
combat fascism, and helped the
rank and file of all political, in
dustrial, agricultural and social
groups to remember that when
leaders betray them, to think for
themselves and affiliate with one
hundred per cent workers and
farmers organizations.
The day of the big anti-fascist

they will with their comrades thru
out the world march, protest, and
demonstrate again and again un-

RECOGNIZE RUSSIA
URGES MINISTER
Contrasts Profit Standard
Of u. S. With Service
Standard of Russia

Dallas Texas.--Recos nition Of
Soviet Russia by the United States
as Il means of stimulating trade
and preventing war was advocated
recently by the Rev. Burris A.
JENKINS before the Southwes: Pas
tors School of the Methodist
Church.
jenkins who has made two visits
to the Soviet Union contrasted the
profit standard of the U. S. with
the service standard of the U. S.
S. R.
"In the U. S. A. the rich man
has a chance in court, the poor
man doesn't" Jenkins said. "In
Russia the poor man gets a break
and the rich have hard shedding.
In America we try to appear to be
very religious but we are very
pagan. In Russia they teach the
youth morality, here we teach
them to get rich, honestly if pos
sible, but by all means to get the
money"
The speaked paid a tribute to
devotion of members Of the Com
munist party to the high ideals Of
service to humanity and the well
fare of the nation.

AUSTRALIA PLANS

Half Million Miles to Be

Canberra, Australia, July 49,
Plans to populate the desert wilds
of North Australia at an estimat
ed cost of approximately one bill
lion dollars are being made by the
Australian government and a num-
Der of British financiers.
A half million square miles Of
territory is to be leased to two
British chartered companies for a
term of 100 years. That this is
a war mive is seen by big business
press dispatches, which say:
"The promoters emphasize that
this is an empire project as both
the Australian and British govern
ments realize the necessity for
populating the North as speedily
as possible for defensive and for
other purpose6
Settlers brought into the area
ostensibly to farm viii find that
they are cannon fodder instead.

Terms of the Soviet agricultural

made public In the decree of May
20, signed by Kalinin and Molotov,
representing the Central Executive
Committee and the Council of Peo-
pies Commissars of the Union Of
Socialist Soviet Republics, respec-
lively. The decree specifies in
minute detail the rates to be ap-
piled to different groups of farms,
to the different crops, the dates of
payment, the exemptions and the
privileges granted to ce 1T ain
groups Of farmers, and so on.
In the main the decree provides
for three sets of taxation rates.
Collectivized farms naturally re-
ceive the best treatment. Indi-
vidual peasants who tin their own
soil form the next group subjected
to the heaviest taxation.
In the case of collective farms
definite rates are fixed per hec-
tare, the lowest tax being imposed
on grain and fodder and highest
on grapes, the rates varying be-
tweent ruble 80 hokeps and 80

Individual peasants are taxed on

Chicago, ILL.,, June 29.-While
defenders of capitalism were try
ing to inject more confidence, and
courage and loyalty into Chicago
ans and highly disappointed visi-
tors to cemetery of progress, via
a glorified Coney Island route,
thousands of Anti Fascist March
ers paraded, protested and Demon
strated against Hitler on June "a.
The Worlds Fair City althiri-
ties favored Us with a good-sized'
battalion ofbluecoats. Of course
we could have managed very nice
ly without that escort.
We marched, four abreast, to
lively workers and farmers music
furnished by members of our own
organization. We sang workers
and farmers songs, from the In
transitional" to the "Sour Apple
Tree" We carried banners, the
inscriptions of which told the
world that Hitlerism means Ter
rorism, that Terrorism means
Feudalism, that Feudalism means
Capitalism, that Fascism aims to
crush the workers and farmers
emancipation program, but that a
solid, united front against fascism
will prevent Hitler and his kind
from doing so.
CAPITALS LAST STAND
Our banners flashed the procla-
nations that forced labor camps
are training camps for the fascist
army, that fascism is Capitals
last stand, and that Capitalism, be
cause it is an invention of man,
can easily be destroyed by man
and replaced with state of So
ciety In which no man will live
upon the fruits of another mans
labor, and no man will be denied
the fruits Of his own.
The banners also told the spec
tators that the Relief Affidavit
racket and paupers grocery orders
have all the earmarks of Euro
pean fascism that human rights
mus. come before profits that only
a Workers and Farmers govern
ment can and will guarantee the
masses unconditional and abso-
lutely free exercise of those rights.
The banners further told the
multitudes that we, the worker and
farmers, demand the immediate
release of all political prisoners
and the Scottsboro boys, work in
stead of charity and that the cards
used in the socalled New Deal are
stacked against all farmers and
workers.
And so we marched, shoulder to
shoulder, black and white, gentle
and Jew, world citizens all, pro-
testing against everything that is
wrong and demanding everything
That is right. Me-, women and
children march. and in spite Of
empty stomachs and thin shoe
soles, all were happy because we
could see, drought black jungles
of capitalistic turmoil and despair,
the dawn of a classics, poverty
less and slaveless day-a day when
society at large will forever be
free from all forms of exploita-
ton, oppression and class strug-
giles.
