HEAVY RAINS :. DELAY WORK
 ON HIGH GRADE

The steady rains of the past 10 days brought down a small slide lat the portal of the Elizabeth gold mine, where the recent rich strike was made at Moose Pass, temporar- lily halting actual milling. A small crew is now engaged in clearing away the slide after which two ad- ditional sets of timberS will be placed. This will eliminate 8 repe- tition of such a delay.
 In the first test run of 200 pounds of ore, slightly better than average ore, approximately two ounces of gold were recovered. The mill, however, is inadequate for large operations but sufficient for high grade The vein is now cover ed by the slide.
 A new cabin has been erected near Frank Hielo's, at Slate Creek, and is nearly completed. A switch back trail, cutoff to the mill site from the mountain trail. has been completed.
 In the interim, Anderson and lessen, who have taken over the Gilpatrick-Hielo five claims are a W a ting business developments from five prominent sources, repre- sentatives of which some are now en route for a personal examina- tion. Every indication points to disposing of some of the property to people with capital sufficient to conduct operations on a large scale.

CUBAN TROUBLE
 STILL REMAINS
 TO BE SETTLED

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. -Wor- ried by the Cuban situation Presi- dent Roosevelt today awaited reac- 'tion to his sharply worded pro- nouncement to the effect the Pre- sident Machado must restore peace or resign.
 It was not officially stated but the American ultimatum asked for Machado's decision by today noon.
 Rumor said that the U nj t d States was ready to make armed intervention unless Machado ob- served the American ultimatum and attempted to do all he could to straighten out the Cuban crisis. It was pointed out that the United States had 2,00O marines waiting at Quantico, Virginia, waiting to be rushed to Cuba. The State De- partment, however, discredited the rumOr that the marines were ready to rush to Cuba to take care of the emergency there by saying that the marines are always ready"
 Cuba continued to be ruled un- der state of war Armed soldiers paraded the streets and at vantage points other soldiers were on duty. Disturbers were continually arrest ed and an American girl was ar rested by the Havana police The charge against her has not been revealed.
 The food shortage is becoming more acute with the passing of each day. Meagre food stocks are being rapidly depleted and the strike has paralyzed all tn e industries and transportation agencies that could relieve the situation.
 President Roosevelt was cheered in Washington for his mediatory attitude by Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York. The President had told Machado and other Cub an politicians to forget politics and help the country get back to normal by taking care of the food shortage and solving the starvation threat.
 President Machado has declared that he will resign if the Liberal party of Cuba requests him to do so. However, since Machado is a member of the party and the party has pledged it's support of Machado it is very unlikely that he will be asked to resign by that group.
 Members of the executive com mittee of President Machado's own party said that the government of Cuba had submitted to the United States Ambassador Welles, a coun-i ter proposal whereby President Ma chado would surrender his office t0 General Alberto Herrera, the pre- sent Secretary of War of Cuba.
 The Liberal party members stat ed they were making this proposal as they did not wish to give up their control of Cuba until they have a! period of reconstruction.

Difficulties of

WE, too meet up with diff
w culties. But difficulties
of an entirely different kind
(than in capitalist countries).
Our difficulties are in connec-
tion with our growth, with the
gigantic building of new or

Is in buoyant spirits today and
sees a bright future before him.
He knows that this future de-
pends on ourselves, our will and
energy, our ability to work.
"But, over there, where cap
italists and landlords are in
power, there is no hope for the
future unless capitalism is over
thrown. For the farmers of the
capitalist countries the question
amounts to this; either perish
ing or taking our Russian course
overthroving the landlords and
capitalists so as to attain a new
bright lste."

Farm Dollar
Down to So Cents

Only just recently, the De-
partment of Agriculture re-
ported that the value of the
American farmers dollar is
SO cents compared to pre-War
levels.
The gigantic debt and tax
burden of the American farm
ers make millions of them the
fearful and imminent victims of
foreclosure and eviction. Taxes
have increased to 267 percent of
what they were before the war.
The stupendous figure of IL bill
lion dollars is reported by the
federal government as the mort
gage debt of American farmers.
This is about 65 percent more
than it was in 1920. Annual
interest which American farm
ers are forced to pay amounts
to from 800 to 900 million dol
lars.
While Soviet achievements are
viewed with joy and pride by
farmers and workers through
out the world, the same can
not be said of their capitalist
rulers. World capitalism hates
the Soviet Union with all the
strength at its command, fo1
the existence and achievements
of the Workers and Farmers
government is the best inspira.
tion for toilers in capitalist
countries to overthrow their

are eCreating
New People

WE HAVE already attained
wv enormous success in the
sphere of collectivization. These
successes are greater than they
seem to us, the immediate
builders.
"The most decisive of all the
successes attained by US is the
fact that we not only reshaped
the land and destroyed the
boundary hedges, but are be-
ginning to renake the proprie-
tary mentality of the peasant,
which had formed in the course
of ages on the basis of indi-
vidual agriculture. We are cop
ing, not without success, with
the problem of remaking this
psychology of the individual
peasant, the psychology of the
proprietor who lives only for
himself, locked in his tiny,
dwarfish farm. The proof of
it is your Congress of one and
a half thousand collective farm
ers.
"We are creating new people,
intelligent builders who have
broken entirely with the old
cursed past, which brought
nothing but unhappiness and
misery to some and fat and sur
plus to others. Our collective
farmer is undergoing spiritual
rebirth, and therein consists our
greatest achievement, the guar
antee of our final victory"
(From a speech at the Com
gress of Collective Farmers by
Clementy Voroshilov, the Com
mander-in-Chief of the Red
Army and Navy.

dominated, 21 to 25 million tons
of marketable grain were col

crease of almost $50 percent.
The amount of cotton har-
vested rose 65 percent in the
period between 1928 and 1881.
AS late as 1928, Is percent of
the spring sowing was dOne by

handled by machine, even the

most of the harvesting was done
by sickle. Now it is practically
all dore by machine, large areas
being worked by reaping and
threshing combines.
The technical basis for an ad-
vance in agricultural production
has been laid by the workers of

turn out the most up-to-date
and perfect agricultural equip
ment in the world to the value
of between 400 and 500 million
dollars annually.

Defend the
Soviet Union

In the Manifesto of the United
States Congress Against War,
there is a section that calls for
defense of the Soviet Union.
"Only in the Soviet Union,"
says the Manifesto, "has this
basic cause of war (the capital
ist system) been removed. The
consistent peace policy of the
Soviet Union, around which the
anti-war struggles throughout
the world must be rallied, was
made possible by the revolution
which overthrew the capitalist
system, reorganized economy
on the basis of socialism, and
established a powerful govern
ment of workers and peasants.
One cannot fight seriously a.
gainst the war danger unless
one fight against all attempts
to weaken or destroy the So
Wet Union.
Why should American farm
ers fight against all attempts
to destroy the Soviet Union :?
Why should American farmers
rally to the defense of the So
Wet Union?
In the Soviet Union, workers
and farmers like ourselves, the
dirt farmers, the actual toilers,
are the ones who rule. They
have already done what we
shall some day do. They have
driven out the exploiters. They
have abolished bankers, big
landlords, mortgage sharks

proudly, never refusing any job.
In this fashion work goes well

do not forget our duty to the

This year we will fulfill our

While in the past we had to
beg now we are not only fully
provided with corn, but we have
balance to sell in the kolkhoz
market. Such a thing never
happened before to us.
We have a dairy farm and
have just bought some cows.
Every kolkhoz family has bread
for year and its own COW. We
no longer plow with an old nag
and wooden plow, but with a
tractor. We have built stables
for so head of cattle. Let any
one dare say we are not grow

due to our collective work.

This First Had
to be Done
BY ]. STAIN

IN ORDER TO start this mass
1 transition to the collective
farms certain preliminary con-
ditions had to be available, fol
without these, generally speak
ing, the mass collective farm
movement would have been i'm
possible.
First of all we had to have
the Soviet power, which helped
and continues to help the peas
antry to take the collective farm
path.
Secondly, it was necessary to
drive out the landlords and the
capitalists, to take their fac
tories and their land from them
and declare these to be the
property of the people.
Thirdly, it was necessary to
bride the kulaks and to take
their machines and tractors
from them.
Fourthly, it was necessary to
declare that these machines and
tractors could be used only by
poor and middle peasants orga-
nized in collective farms.
And finally, it was necessary
to industrialize the country, to
organize new tractor industry
to build new factories for the
production of agricultural ma
chinery, in order to supply trac-
tors and machines in abundance
to the collective farm peasantry,
Without these preliminary
conditions it would have been
useless thinking of the mass
transition to the collective farm
path that commenced three
years ago.
Hence, in order to adopt the
collective farm path it was nee
essary first of all to bring
about the October (1917) Revo-
luton, to overthrow the cap
italists and landlords, take the
land and factories from them
and organize new industry.

Danger of
Intervention

World capitalism tried to
throttle the Soviet State in its
infancy in the first years Of
the Revolution. Today world
capitalism is watching for an
other opportunity to attempt to
destroy the Soviet Union. Japan
seeks continuously to provoke
the U. S. S. r. into war in the
Far East. Germany, speaking
for European capitalism, issues
one call after another for inter-
vention and the carving up of
what it calls the "Bolshevist
menace"
American troops took part in
Russian intervention in 1918 to
1919. The gigantic war prepara-
tions being carried on by the
capitalist Roosevelt government
today are directed not only
against capitalist competitors Of
American imperialism, but first
and foremost against capital
ism's main enemy, the workers
and farmers socialist state in

BY N. BUCHwALD

IN THE United States large
/ scale farm production ex-
lists side by side with small
scale farming. Naturally, the
small farmer cannot compete
with the big landowner, for the
latter has the advantages of ag-
ricultural machinery, the use of
diversified crops and other sci
entific methods of farming that
increase the yield and decrease
the cost per acre. Tens of
thousands Of farmers annually
go down in defeat in this un-
equal competition with big cap
ital and large-scale farming.
1t is precisely upon theshe ru-
ined farmers that the American
land barons fatten. Through
foreclosures, forced sales and
forfeitures the rural capitalists
in the United States and in
other capitalist countries, grab
up the small holdings of poor
farmers and consolidate them in
to large estates. In other
words, large-scale farming in
capitalist countries develops at
the expense of and brings ruin
to millions of impoverished
farmers who are compelled to
become mere farm hands or to
abandon the countryside and
join the ranks of the uremploy-
ed in the cities.
The Soviet Union, too, was
faced with the problem of pass
iSg from small to large scale
farming. Only a few years ago,
individual small-scale farming
was the predominant type
throughout the Soviet Union
Today large scale farming EN-
braces fOur-fifths of the tota
sowing area of the country
But the consolidation of small
farms in the Soviet Union ha,
been achieved along lines en-
tirely different from those pre-
vailing in capitalist countries

Banishing Greed
and Ignorance

The Soviet workers and farm
ers, under the greatest Difficult
ties and with the most heroic
sacrifices, are attempting to
make their country a place
where the wealth that is Gre
ated by toll shall belong to
those who are the toilers. They
are building the foundations of
a worldwide socialist system
of society under which poverty
and ignorance, exploration and
greed, robbery and oppression
shall be forever banished.
Are we, the toiling farmers
of the United States, in sympa-
thy with these aims of our So
Wet brothers? Do we hope to
see the time come when the
man who works will reap the
full harvest of his toll?
The Soviet Union is the first
historic realization of these
hopes. Those among US who
have no such hopes do not care
if the Soviet Union is destroy
ed. But those who look forward
to the day when these hopes
viii be realized, and who are
working actively to organize
the American farmers to be
prepared for that day-we shall
be ready to fly to the defense
of the Soviet Union when worlC
capitalism attacks her.
For the Soviet Union is tn,
land where our hopes are en-
shrined. It is living example
of the possibility of realizing
these hopes.

bound up with the program of
its mechanization.
Only in 1929, with the inang-
uration of the vast program Of
industrializatiorI known as the
Five Year Plan, was the work
of collectivizing the small peas
ant holdings into large scale
kolkhozes and the establishment
of large state-owned sovkhOzes
begun in real earnest. The
rapid industrial progress of the
country furnished the base for
the rapid development of large
scale agriculture.
The process of collectivization
was accompanied by a good deal
of hardship and by fierce re-
sistance on the part of the rich
peasants, the kulaks, who under
the collective system, could no
longer practice their extortiOn,
usury and exploitation at the
expense Of the poor peasants.
The resistance of the kulake
was overcome, the peasants in
every community having forced
these parasite die-hards off of
their holdings. Only with the
elimination of the lulaks as a
controlling element in agricul-
ture was the road made clear
for the complete liberation of
the peasant masses.
AS a result of the COLLECTIVE
zatiOn campaign, 211, 900 kOl-
khOzes have been formed,
involving 14,500,OOO peasant
holdings and embracing ~
percent of the sowing area
formerly cultivated by indi-
vidual peasants.
Having successfully carried
out the program of consoli-
dation of the small farms into
large-scale kolkhozes the Soviet
Union is now faced with the
next big task of perfecting the
administration of the 211,OQC
odd kolkhozes, raising of theiE
efficiency and making them q
source of ample food supply fol
the industrial population and Of
prosperity for the millions oa
peasants.
