One League Local Near Collapse

stand in our way row, what VIII
we do ", EN- we are going IL be
i;.r-i WIN real struggles N the
very near future? If we are too
lazy or are too afraid to fight for
our rights, then we are certainly
not very class conscious yet. If
we are ashamed to participate in
the struggles, then We are also
ashamed of being honest workers.
A WARNING
Are we still anxious to remain
always for our masters? Whether
we like to admit it or not, that is
exactly what we are, slaves.
InWardly we should be proud
of ourselves if We are taking
an active part in the class
struggle. No work could be
more noble than the work of
the one who fights for hui
mainly and for Justice. 1t is
up to everyone of us to under
stand our rights. then let us
continue our fight until we
fight the last time. Let us
fight for our immediate de-
mands. Let us fight for the
, right to live.
These experiences should be
a warning to the United
Farmers League locals and
higher bodies throughout the
country. The leafIet by AL
fred ITALIA, Coming to the
Meeting?" contains a number
of good directions to avoid
such disastrous experience.
If the leaders of the United
Farmers League in Kalama

In each case the farmers them
selves have been left out of con-
sideratiOn. In order to make the
manoeuvers appear plausible rep
resentatives of Milk Producers
Associations have been invited to
discuss the situation with the farm
administration.
MILK TRUST AGENTS
PRESENT
In the Philadelphia discussion
the farmers were represented" by
H. D. Allebach, secretary and
manager of the Interstate Milk
Producers Association. The In
terstate, although $4,000 farmers
belong to it, is a direct agency of
the milk trust. The Roosevelt adj
ministration did NOT call in rep
resentatives of the Philadelphia
Regional Committee for Action to
discuss the milk situation. This
Regional Committee is a dirt farm
ers committee elected by the farm
ers in United Front Conference
on May IL.
In the conferences for the De-
troit and Georgia milk sheds the
same sort of agents of the milk
trust were also invited to repre-
sent the farmers.
THE NEW DEAL
The Roosevelt administration Is
entering the milk situation in or
der to pacify the farmers in this
field where the sentiment for
strike struggles is growing most
rapidly. But the ''new deal" will
mean as little for the working
people here as it has meant for
the workers and the veterans thus
far. Only struggles organized and
led by the farmers themselves can
win higher prices.

NO HOPE OF DEBT
SETTLEMENT

There is nothing which
would permit a belief that the
war debts question will be
solved in good ffme. There
is not the slightest prospect
of agreement on a tariff re-
gime acceptable to all pow
ers. Less than two weeks
from the opening of the con-
ference all the problems that
must be discussed remain un-
changed"
THE problem of security,
which completely dominates
the problem of disarmament,
Is far from being solved" lie
Temps draws the conclusion
that. even if discussions were
resumed on June q. little
progress can be hoped for.

The Drys of WestervilIe
(Baltimoa-e EUenina Sunl

baltimore EveniHg SAM
An indignant reader of the Column
bus, Ohio, Citizen protests against
the methods employed by the drys to
suppress the hardy citizen who is
openly and legally selling 80 per cent
beer in Westerville, home of the Anti
Saloon League.
The bold dispenser apparently is
being given rough spin. A Wester-
Vile doctor has refused to prescribe
for him because he sells beer The
ice man who supplies his ice has been
partially boycotted The three bust
ness men who certified to his moral
character when he applied for his
license have been denounced and the
holy urged to boycott them. Women
have pursued the beer dispenser s
wife with cat-calls on the street In
short, the Anti Saloon League has
put on typical display of all its
pretty tricks.
And yet, after all, but yesterday
the word of this organization threw
Presidents into light sweat and
made Congress jump through hoops.
Today, it is fighting desperately to
save unto itself Westerville, Ohio.
Why not let it have this hamlet as
sort of reminder and horrible
example of the future? Why not
make Westerville sort Of museum
piece, like the reservation for the
herd of bison, out West? Once the
Anti Saloon League was important,
and some specimens should be pre-
served as curiosities. Let's rescue
Westerville for it.

lies in the fact that they no
where imply a belief in the ex-
istence of any class of man or
woman with characters or mo-
tives essentially different from
those which he made it his busi-
ness TO reveal.
Stylistically. Mr.. Lardners
greatest achievement was, of
course, the invention of a langu-
age marvelously convincing,
both phonetically and in its
idiom, as the speech Of his
chosen milieu. By means of
that instrument. which render
ed comment Unnecessary, he could
put into the mouths of his char
acters phrase after phrase which
made the reader gasp with hor-
ror at the depths of naive ignor-
ance and naive meanness which
the phrase revealed. Funny
many of the stories were, but
others-hke, for instance, A
Day with Conrad Green-be-
came positively terrifying. Per-
haps. indeed, Mr.. Lardner's
achievement might be summed
up by saying that he made
stupidity tragic.

Give Henrik Break
Playmakers Promise More Satisfac.
tory Performance of Ibsen This Time

The complimentary perform
ance of Ibsen's The Master
Builder by Madame Hammers
company, which the Carolina
Playmakers are offering to their
season ticket holders, has been
announced for next Monday af-
ternoon at 3 o'clock. Because
of the illness of the actor who
played the title role in this play
the matinee performance which
was announced for last Friday
afternoon had to be postponed,
although the evening perform
ance of Ghosts went on as sche-
duled.
There will also be an evening
performance of The Master
Builder on Monday for those
who do not hold Playmaker sea-
son tickets and who wish to see
this Ibsen masterpiece. Because
of combination of circum-
stances the performance OF
Ghosts on the Student Enter
tainment Series last Friday eve
ming was rather unfortunate.
Curtis Cooksey, who came down
from New York to take up the
roles Bran Nossen had played
before his illness, arrived on
Friday morning at four O'Clock
after having learned the lines
for Ghosts on the train. When
he started rehearsing with the
other actors it was discovered
that he had studied a different
LTdIlSldtlOI HUN IilC Oiit VIZ
company had been using. 1t was
impossible for him to re-learn
the number Of lines and rehearse
them in one day so it was neces-
sary for him to do the part with
the book in his hand. Also, the
acoustics in Memorial Hall, ad-
mittedly bad for any theatrical
performance at any time, are
particularly unsuited for the
quiet and subdued scenes in this
play.
Madame Hammers slight Nor
wegian accent has also been
criticized because it was difficult
to understand her under those
conditions. The Playmakers
management, however, promises
the elimination Of all these
handicaps in the performance IN
the Playmakers Theatre where
the acoustics are perfect and the
auditorium is small

Ring Lardner
(The NatiOn)


most distinguished American
satirist of cur time, died on Sep
tember 25 after long illness.
Last winter The Nation publish
ed an extended critical analysis
of his work by Clifton Fadiman,
and to that we refer our read
ers, but we cannot let his death
pass without some further COM
ment. His was remarkably
original talent. and death will
undoubtedly revive the debate
which seems almost inevitable
in connection with great hum
orist-was he o rwas he not
bitterly disillusioned man who
hid his despair beneath the
grotesqueries of his literary
manner?
Those who remember Mr..
Lardner's long, melancholy face,
with it's curious expression of
blank wonder, ought not to be
surprised to discover tragic un-
dertones in his work. but there
are some who maintain that the
alleged bitterness beneath the
hum0r was merely an invention
of his highbrow critics. They
point out that he began his ca
reer as popular writer for the
Saturday Epening Post, that he
was not discovered" by the il
luminati until the publication,
long after, of How to Write
Short Stories;" and that he
never himself showed any out
ward disposition to accept the
role of serious writer which
the new-found admirers tried to
thrust upon him. He had be-
gun as a newspaperman with a
fondness for sports, and such
he remained. The very last
pieces he wrote-the reviews of
the radio contributed to the
New Yorker-frankly espoused
the taste of the great public.
Those who argue thus on the
basis of these facts are, we
think, right, at least as far as
the facts themselves will carry
them. Mr.. Lardner certainly
was not satirizing the ball play
er, the actor, and the pugilist to
the advantage Of the more cul-
tured elements of the popula-
ton. He was not, for example,
a Sinclair Lewis, determined to
ridicule Americans out of their
crudeness. When compelled to
take sides, he was, on the con-
trary, and like the less resolute
George AIDE, fundamentally on
the side Of the commonest sort
of common man. But to say that
is not to say that he was in the
slightest degree sentimental or
that his chief delight was not to
reveal with cruel insight the
meanness and the stupidity Of
his chosen characters. Indeed,
the depth of his cynicism is re-
vealed in just the fact that, un-
admirable and unlovable as his
roughnecks were, he quite OBJ
viously did not believe them
worse than anyone else. The
final horror of his stories
