Comforting the Farmers

ROOSEVELT made speech for the farmers yester-
day. Not for the actual small impoverished farm
ers, but to group Of officials Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
And the statements he made there are nothing
out brazen justification Of farm policy that is
driving hundreds OF thousands Of small farmers,
agricultural workers and xharecroppers into pauper-
Ism, while giving the food monopolies and the rich
farmers profits at the expense of the workers in the
cities.
Rooeevelt laid down some propositions
e Proposition ono: Money Is getting into the hands
AZ the people who need 1t; 1t coming from higher
prices for the things the farmer has to sell; 1t Is
coming In checks for those. willing to swap haz-

one half BILLION dollars to the Wall Street banks
He has given another billion to the big railroads And
another billion for preparations.
His program Of farm mortgage re-fnancing is
helping, not the small farmers, but the MORTGAGE
holders Roosevelt Of course does not for one moment
oountenance the idea that the mortgage slavery of
the small farmers be relieved by simply CAM
CEILING the mortgage debts. Instead he leaves the
mortgage yoke just firmly about the small farm
srs' neck and guarantees the interest payments of
the mortgage holders by offering them Government
Bonds in exchange for their mortgages!

to allow the trial to be held IN public;
to permit foreign journalists to at
tend the proceedings, and finally to
permit the court to preserve to a GER
tain extent the appearance Of con-
Quoting a proper trial. Thanks to
this success of the protest movement,
the accused Communists were assured
a certain amount of protection by
the international public, and German
fascism ssutsined defeat by its ex-
posure in the court. The attitude Of
the Angriff means, therefore, in the

intensification OF the campaign for
the rescue of our comrades. Here
very much can and must be done.
Meetings for the rescue OF the ac-
cussd are being held daily al over
the world. Nevertheless the posi-
b;nties for increasing the campaign
have net all teen ualized by q
long way. The participation in the
protest kilograms. in the delegations
TO the German Embassies IS not suf-
ficiently numerous. At the same
time it is forgotten that we must not
only hesiege the German Consulates
and Embassies, bit must also make
concentrations to cur own suthori-
Ties In order to compel them to in
tervene. The most important thing,
however, is work IN the factories,
union meetings and house-to-house
agitation in order to draw the whole
of the workers into the campaign on
behalf of the accused. Sympathetic
strikes must be commenced on g large
ecale. The protest movement must
penetrate the whole OF the public
life.

than question Of saving the four
innocent accused from certain Judi

trance, the Nazi was rendered a very
embarrassing half-hour. Three times
after he had been introduced BY the
Hamilton Fish professor OF econom-
les, he opened his mouth to praise
the Columbia officials for their lib

rupted by girl from the audience.
Before he could say more than

rose from her seat and cried
Herr Luther, why have dissenting
German professors been exiled? Why
have the books Of Columbia professors

She was hurried out by a cop and
usher. Luther cleared his throat and
began again.

Luther tried TO continue reading
but found 1t impossible until the

AS he began again he was interrupted
by Columbia woman teacher who
shouted:

After she had been removed, Luther
proceeded with his speech, heaping
praise upon Hitler as q true rep

The Nazis were pacifists, he said, and
the recent election was q proof that

At several points in his speech he

Manahan has formed his own or

charges Of arson, robbery and theft

which brings maximum penalties.
Many militant leaders have been

ing denounced by Manahan to the

STAYS HOME
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Scheduled to participate in the
current four-ball golf matches at
Miami, AL Houghton, Kenwood
Club pro, elected to remain at
home instead Of shelling out the
dough necessary for expenses.
There was much wisdom in AIS
decision because he would have
only been able to play in one
tournament, thus lessen;ng any
chances of coming OUT even on
the financial end.
Instead, he deemed it better to
concel his proposed Miami trip
and travel Southwark the latter
part of next month. Then he can
take in three tournaments, all
within a shorC space. These will
be tournaments at Charleston,
Pinehurst and Norfolk.
Houghton was to have partner

Protects Kennedy

I'm in this thing to protect
Kennedy's interests and don't
think / would be doing Les any
favor by yielding to the de-
mands of our antagonists that
the ring officials be shuffled."
ErWin's attitude is that if the
Day Nursery or the match
maker wanted to change the Of
ficialS that would be their right,
but he wouldn't expect them to
let him pick the officials and
he wouldn't expect them to let
Barry's hackers name them
either.
To listen to the protest over
the retaining of Messrs. Hughes,
King and Short, one might
think that trio was to don
trunks and pillows and get in
there and do the fighting.
Where is this fight to be fought
anyway? Up there in the ring
or down in the pit where the
judges sit.
In the meantime Barry's
vociferous proponents have jeo-
pardized his fight to a great
extreme by implying that he
can't make as good a showing
before one set of judges and
referee as he can before an
other. That's quite q mental
hazard to add to the shoulders
Of a 20-year-old boy.
Patsy Donovan, one OF
Barry's board, and active again
in sports for the first time
since his serious automobile
accident in New Jersey follow
ing the Walker -Schme1ing fight,
hastens to explain Barry's
angle on the controversy over
the officials as follows:
"The match was closed with
Jack TullOch, the boss of the
POrtner Arena, and it was MIR.
TullOch who suggested new
judges for the ry-Kennedy
settO. I agreed with Mr.. Tul-
lOch on the grounds that every
boxing club, in the country
changes their judges weekly.
Gas far as Mr.. King and Mr..
Hughes are concerned 1 rate
their ability and integrity one
hundred per cent, having known
both men fol- the past Is years
and consider them my pals.
In fact 1 would be willing to
bet that both King and Hughes
will be pulling for Mr.. Barry
to win, the same as all other
brOadminded WaShingtOnianS.
Possibly the fans will well
come King and Hughes back
with open arms after they get
q slant on the work Of other
judges. Incidentally the judge
job at the Day Nursery is
merely an honorary one subject
to all the grunts Of the dis
satisfied gamblers"

AS STRONGER
THAN LAST
SEASON
By DAVIS ]. WALSH

PHILADELPHIA, req. L4.-4U
wasn't the mans birthday More
over, it was too late for Valen-
tines, too soon for April first
and not quite the anniversary OF
washington, the truth-teller.
Nevertheless, the venerable
Connie Mack had some surprises
to dispense today, including the
statement that the worlds cham
pion New York Yankees were less
to be feared than the Washington
Senators. He also said that his
Athletics would get along without
AL Simmons and, in fact, seemed
to infer that they'd be better
for it.
He even seemed to feel that
when the newspapers spoke
yesterday of the funeral of James
j. Corbett, the great heavyweight
champion of another generation,
they were only partly right--as
usual. To him, James j. Corbett
would have been a successful ball
player-and was for a day. The
time was all of SO years ago.
The occasion, a regulation ball
game between Milwaukee and
Minneapolis of the old Western
League, which shortly attained its
legal growth to become the second
major league of baseball. The
Milwaukee manager was Mr..
Mack himself. The star of his
team was James j. Corbett. He
even broke up the game with a
base hit.
Few Ideas on Subject
But hold! It's Mr.. Mack's
honor" as we say at Piping
Rock. Baseball? Certainly, he
had a few ideas on the subject,
thus:
Everybody seems determined
to talk the Yankees into the
pennant. They'll! need more
than that to win with old men
like Ruth, Sewell, PennOck, Laz-
Zeri and COOmbS, who have
beer getting no better for quite
some years. The Yankees,
should say, are not so strong.
Whereas my club is much
stronger. I'm not wOrry;1 6
about Earnshaw. Why should
1? We're taking IA pitchers
South. Twelve of them are
good enough to stick.
"My outfieId is exceptional.
Frankly, it will. be better than
last years, which had Simmons
in the lineup. No matter what
anybody else says, that fellow
Finney, from the Coast League,
can and will hit major league
pitching. Anyhow, there will
be no runaway race this year.
In fact, if l was to name the
club 1 feared most, it wouldn't
be the Yankees. 1t would be
the Senators"
Asked about his infield, Mr..
Mack said it would be Darn
good" which accounts for every
body except the man at the EN-.
ployees' entrance. It has been
rumored that he may have a bad
year but I decided not to call
this to Mr.. Mack's attention.
After all, the man might be SEN
Sitive.
