THE VIGILANTES

When he walked Ous tie door
masked figures closed in en-
him and no was forced into a
big sedan and someone sat
on his face to keep him quiet.
He was driven about Is miles
into the deserted country and
there the car waited for Other
arrivals. When the other cars
drew up, BOskaljOn had the
presence of mind to note that
all the licenses were either re-
moved or covered. When it is
remembered that the high
ways were heavily patrOlled
by the state police at this
time, shows that rihe state pO-
lice had hand in the kidnap-
ping.
BOskaljOn had been bound
hand and foot. Two other
men, bound as he was, were
dragged out onto the ground
and laid beside BOskalion.
These were /. w. WIS. They
were later tarred and feath-

Sattle now.
CLOTHES TORN OFF
BOskaljOn was taken apart
from the main group by about
five men. His clothes were
ripped off and he was brutally
lasked and asked if he was
going to talk. When he re-
fused, he was ierked over and
dashed on the other side. In
all, he must have received in
the neighbOrhOOd of thirty
lashes with a blacksnake.
He explained the role of t
UFL, how it fights with the pc
farmers and workers against t
rich farmers. Ore of the mask
figures spoke to Boskaljon in
native tongue and told him tn
he would not be whipped al
more. In order to brighten t
other two workers who we
bound. a revolver was shot {
near him but he was not hurt.
LEFT ON HIGHWAYS
He was taken back to the c.

were obviously afraid that the
had gone too far and were worri
over the consequences. Witho
further mistreatment, he was tn
taken to the highway and Il
there. He later managed to get

from there, rode the blind in

Is PER CENT CUT UNDER
ALLOTMENT PLAN

- A&AAN
Secretary Wallace has declared
that the farmers of the United
States taking part in the allot-
ment plan for wheat will have to
cut their acreage Is per cent dur
ing the next crop year. This is
to be their contribution to putting
the world on a hunger program.
When the news of the agree
ment was announced Wallace char
acterized it as a. "momentous
achievement" = much the same
words that have been used by the
other capitalist politicians to fool
the working people about the dis
armament and other conferences.
The four main exporting coun-
tries Argentina, Australia, Canada
and the United States have all
signed the agreement.
The agreement among these
countries provides export quotas
for the current marketing season
up to July 81 1884, as follows:
Canada, 200 million bushels; Ar
gentina no million; Australia los
million; United States AT million.
CONTRADICTION IN PLAN
One of the contradictory fea-
lures of the agreement is brought
to light in the export quotas fol
Australia and Argentina. Austria
liza is granted total export quote
for the 1933-34 nd 1934-s5 sea.
sons of 255 million bushels while
Argentina is granted a quota fol
these two seasons of 264 million
bushels.
If the 1888 exports fall below
the amount stated above then tn.
quotas for the season 1934-35 will
be increased to fill out the tota
for the two seasons allowed eacl
of these countries.
This means that if the deep
ening crisis cuts exports dur
ing 1888 then Argentina and
Australia will be allowed to
| INCREASE their exports the
following year. This will sue
coed in wrecEing the agree
ment if it is not wrecked be-
d fore that time.
Increased quotas are also Sc
for the other wheat exporting
countries during 1884. The u. s

WAVE OF MILK STRIKES


The wave of milk strikes was
another development in the same
movement.
But according to Harris, these
struggles have not been co-ordi-
mated and the Chicago conference
proposes to organize and systema-
tie them. One of its main OBJ
jectives will be to build solidarity
between the city working people
and the farmers.
Fhe conference has the support
of some 10000 farmers in farm
organizations thruout the country.
The call is signed by the executive
committee of the Farmers Ma
tional Committee for Action which
includes: Lewis Bentley, Perkasie,
Pa. the Pennsylvania milk strike
leader; Philip Smith, Pennsyl-
vania; Fred Chase, New Hamp-
shire; John w. Marshall, Ohio;

ECONOMIST FEARS
HERITAGE OF WAR
Langsam Says Failure to
Wipe Slate Clean Will
Cause New Conflict.
~ the Associated Press.

~ tflS ASsuCidttu fAtoo.
NEW YORK, April 11.-"Were the
nations to wipe clean the slate of past
wrongs, injustices and mistakes, and
start afresh with no memories Of hate,
the future might be brighter" declares
Walter G. Langsam of the Department
Of History of Columbia University.
1.-THE economic experts are virtually
agreed on the need for abolition of all
heritages of the war;" he continues in
''The World Since 1914" a general sum-
mary Of world affairs, published today.
1.-THE politicians must be made to come
to the same realization"
Heading Toward Abyss"
But Prof. Langsam is not too SAN
guine. He says: 1T would certainly
appear a" that the world is once more
Heading toward an abyss The path
Of reparation, debt, tariffs, super-na-
tionalism and widespread ignorance OF
conditions in other countries can only
be the path to destruction.
LAS we have seem" he writes, ma
tionalism and irredentism were to
considerable extent responsible for the
coming of the war. And the Europe of
today contains as many as, if not more,
nationalist and irredentist danger zones
than that of 1914. Germans, Austrians,
Magyars and Turks no longer oppress
their neighbors, but the situation, on
the whole, has been reversed, hardly
improved.
"Irredentism still exists, only now it
Is German, Austrian, Hungarian and
Lithuanian as well as italian.
Compares 1914 Conditions.
Furthermore, the spirit of national
ism appears to be no whit less exag-
gerated than in 1914 Parallel with the
development Of a certain amount of
international -mindedness' among the
people of the world. there has arisen an
unprecedented glorification of the state
and nation, particularly among the va
rtous groups of 'Fascists' indeed
the lust to exercise sovereign power
. seems to vary indirectly with the
size Of the state concerned.
'"The militaristic spirit gives every
indication of being more widespread to-
day than it was in 1914 in the
fiscal year 1930-31 the world, threatened
with bankruptcy, spent between four
and five billion dollars on armaments.
Alliances Exist Again.
Although military alliances proved
themselves to be wholly unreliable as q
means OF security in 1914 they
still remain as a constant threat to
world peace -
In a very real sense the armistice of
November IL, 1918, signalized the end
Of military hostilities and the outbreak
Of disastrous world economic war
to make the economic situation worse,
the world may soon find itself paying
the penalty for permitting chronological
improvements to continue apace without
any effort to make the necessary social
adjustments = = complete economic
disaster would seem to be inevitable
unless some form Of economic planning
be introduced.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Presi- dent Roosevelt is expected to short ly decide definitely whether he will ask Congress for complete power to scale down tariffs through ac- cords with other nations at the London economic conference.
 Secretary of State Hull has called for a thorough examination of the International situation.
 There are two courses for the President to decide, whether to ob- tain full power from Congress in advance or negotiate treaties and submit them to Congress later. It is believed he will ask Congress now but he is also anxious to have the legislators adjourn as tariffs are sure to set up marathon de- bate in the Senate.

Diplomatic Career of '. J. O'Brien Is Ended by Death;
 Wds Agdinst Disarmament

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May 22 Death wrote finis to the diplo- matic career of Thomas J. OBrien, aged 90 years, after a long illness.
 Thomas J. O'Brien, successively minister to Denmark and ambas- sador to Japan and Italy, had to his credit the negotiations conduct ed at Tokyo for more than two years which ended in the famous "gentlemen's agreement" regarding Japanese immigration.
 It was said by his contemporaries that it was his keen foresight and wisdom which restrained the Cali fornia legislature from adopting restrictive alien land laws that might have precipitated serious complications between the United States and Japan.
 He was also down in the records as having first preached the pro- ject of American acquisition of the Danish West Indies although il was ten years after his ministry at Copenhagen before the Virgin Islands became territory of the United States
 Peace Maker
 As Ambassador to Italy, MT. O. Brien extended effective good of fices in paving the way for peace between Italy and Turkey between whom war had broken out a few weeks before his arrival in Rome in November, 1911.
 Despite his record in promoting peace, MT OBrien was a firm be- liever in preparedness.
 Disarmament of nations is an idealistic dream" he once said The United States can maintain her position of power and dignity among the nations only by estab- fishing national defenses commen- surate with those of other coun- tries, or at least sufficient for na- tional security"
 However, he always considered a trans-Pacific conflict as most unlikely. "If this country had nothing more serious to worry about than war with Japan, il would be a more light-hearted na-
