Agricultural Adjustment program is
designed to restore. When the pres
cnt administration came into power
on March 4, it was already apparent
that there is no longer an effective
foreign purchasing power for our
customary eXrortable surplus of cot
ton, wheat, lard and tobacco at
prices high enough to assure social
stability in the United States. It
was apparent that 40,oo0, 900 acres of
American soil were producing ma
terial that could not be consumed in
this country :. 1t became increas-
ingly plain that modern technique
applied to agriculture and raw ma
terials was he2ping up q world over
supply. Our immediate effort,
therefore, is to organize American
agriculture to reduce its output to
domestic need, plus the amount that
We can export with profit. . !. Ac-
cordingly toe Roosevelt administra-
ton is conducting an orderly retreat
from surplus acreage.
BY the end of 1894 We shall pxob-
ably have taken 100000 acres out
Of cotton, 100000 out CT corn
Add to that the 100000 ceres that
we used to SOW and will not, and you
get a total of 100000 acres which
will be planted to cur major export

But what are the political, theo-

What is its political meaning pre-
cisely at this time? What political
strategy does it conceal? What will
it mean to the workers in the cities

examination to reveal that when
Wallace speaks Of "intcrnationalism'
he does net mean real internal ION
aliSm, the internationalism which is
embodied in the international
solidarity of the world working
class. He deliberately distorts the
meaning of this word in order to
pose false alternatives ard to strike
a blow at the growing true inter-
nationalism Of working class solid
arity, the internationalism that is
the entithesis Of national chau-
vinism.
BY "internationalism," Wallace
means merely free trade, low or no
tariffs, lack of trade restrictions,
etc. BY "nationalism" he means a
program similar to the Fascist
"autarchy' the program of Mus
solini and Hitler, which is intended
to make the nation lf-contain-
ing" free from the "antanglemeuts
of foreign trade" with high tariffs
and government directed pro-
gram of regulation of production
to reduce surplus" in order to
raise prices.
Wallace rejects "internationalism :"
He makes a pretense Of rejecting
"nationalism," in order to foist on
the American masses the planned
middle course" But we shall see in
a moment that the planned middle
course" is nothing but the Fascist
'nationalisin," the program of ruth
less parasitism and intensified ex-
ploitation characteristic of Fascism,
the open dictatorship of the big
capitalists, the finance capital bill
lionaires.
Walace's argument is as follows:
"At the opening Of the World
War, our farm production CHANGED
to be pretty well in hand. There was
no glaring disparity between the
prices farmers received for their
crops and the prices they had to pay
for the things that they buy: 1t is
that condition of parity between our

"our people on the street."
Wallace declares ominOusly, must
change their attitude concerning
the nature of man and society.
They must develop the capacity to
envisi0n cooperative society
and be willing to pay the price to
attain it."
And how will this Co cooperative
society" be attained? Wallace gives
us the answer, the answer that has
already been made familiar to the
world in the Hitler philosophy" of
the 'Totalitarian State" and in
Mussolini's national autarchy."
THE people must have the in

short time selfish interests Of a
particular class. As yet we have

barest beginnings of the sort of

requires. We must be ready
to make sacrifices to a known
end. -

The League does not assume
the function Of passing Judge
ment upon such disputes as that
which gave rise to the resigna-
ton of a few members of ITS
committee. It must emphatic
ally be stated that no controver-
sizes as to tactics constitute a
valid reason for abandonment of
the program and principles of
the League. Now more than
ever this program is necessary.
The extreme sharpening of the
war danger and the rise of fas-
cism throughout the world are
putting a severe test upon all
avowed enemies of war and fas-
cism. 1t is to be expected that
there will be desertions in this
most difficult pre-war period.
This is all the more reason why
all true fighters against war and
fascism will steadfastly main
tain and promote the principles
and program of the League.

will occur in the coming fall.

future, to avoid conflict or dis
ruption among the forces fighting
against war and fascism, whether
members of the league or not.
Agreements have been sought and
will be sought, to promote the
greatest possible unity and to pre-
vent disunity-While preserving the

Successful Joint Actions
The Buro records with salts
faction that, in every case where
it has succeeded in initiating a
joint action, the result has been
the drawing together of hitherto
separated forces, thus strength
ening the whole struggle against
war and fascism. The highly
successful conferences following
the U. S. Congress Against War
that were held in Chicago, San
Francisco, Boston and many
smaller cities; the series of stu
dents anti-war conferences held
in Columbia, New York Univer-
sity and regional conferences in
volving student groups from
scores of universities; the dele
cation to Washington at the
opening of Congress to oppose
the war budget; the successful
mass demonstrations and parades
against Austrian fascism held
under the auspices of the League
in Chicago and Pittsburgh; these
and innumerable small instances
prove the vitality of the Leagues
progress and the necessity of its
work.

Roosevelt found it necessary In
his speech the other day to publicly
disclaim any inclinations Of the
government toward Fascism.
But one of the leading members
of his Cabinet, one of his closest
political advisers, only few days
before issued a plea for a new $50
cial philosophy" and an economic
program in which the seeds of
Fascism are already beginning to
sprout.

traordinary way that almost every
newspaper of the country has in
one way or another featured this

obvious that the pamphlet is a
semi official programmatic state

Roosevelt government in the days
Immediately to come. The Roose-
welt government, it is clear, wishes
the ideas of this pamphlet to be
given the widest possible publicity.
And with reason, too. For WAL

posals are the surest indication Of
the road Roosevelt is travelling as

power Of the capitalist State into

NEW YORK.-The American
League Against War and Fascism
has received the following letter
from the Chicago Branch, dated
March 7:
The Chicago Branch Of the
American League Against War
and Fascisn learns with regret
that certain members OF the Ma
tional Committee have resigned.
AT last nights meeting of our
Executive Board, it was unani-
mously voted that we send a
communication to our national
office, stating that nothing will
hamper our efforts to gain unity
in the struggle against war and
fascism in Chicago. We shall go
forward on the basis Of the pro-
gram Of the American League,

program. On the contrary. fascism
always masks its hideous viSage
with studied expressions of radical
ism" 1t always comes, not only as
the brutal stop-gap against the
floods Of proletarian revolution, but
as pretended program for the al
deviation of the suffering of the
masses and the ruined petty bour-
geoiSie. 1t comes speaking words of
sympathy and understanding, with
varying accompaniment of lofty
and radical phrases, offering road
out of the mass misery. But within
all this verbiage it conceals the
brutal realities of the economic pro-
gram of capitalist exploitation. Its
program answers the needs of the
most ruthless, powerful section of
finance capital.
In arming ourselves against the
menace of Fascism, it is necessary
to remember that it need not show
the same features that Fascism has
revealed in Germany, Italy, and
Austria, Poland, etc. Fascist reac-
ton, growing right out of the heart
of the Roosevelt government, will
undoubtedly show in this country
certain peculiar features. But in
the program of Roosevelt and in
the statements of Wallace. regard
less of the fact that the American
bourgeoisie still sees fit to maintain
all the traditional democratic"
forms Of government, the approach
of Fascist reaction is not difficult
to discover. The method will no
doubt differ from the Fascism of
other countries. But the class con-
tent, the open. military dictatorship
of big capital, coupled with reac-
tionary- lingo theology will be the
same, whatever the outward super
fetal differences.

Statement of4nti Var League on S.P. Leaders
DeseriOn From United Front against Var

Following the attempt Of the
National Executive Board of the
Socialist Party last summer to
split the American united front
against war and fascism by their
OstenbiatiOuS resignation for the
arrangements committee for the
q. S. Congress Against War, GER
tain Socialists who remained IN
the executive body of the Amer
lean League Against War and
FaScism have once again at
tempted TO hamper the struggle.
The excuse found this time for
these new designations b that
these Socialists viii not stay in a
united front In which the Com
munists take part. SEEKING the
official lies Of the Socialist execu-
tiveS about the Madison Square
Garden meeting during the Aus
TRAN struggle, these Socialists
have also turned against the anti
war and anti-faScist united front.
The statement of the American
League Against War and Fascism
in connection with these resigna-
tons follows: Editor.
Statement of the American League
Against War and Fascism
The Buro Of the National Execu-
tive Committee of the American
League Against War and Fascism
has before it the designations of
certain of its members connected
with the League for Industrial
Democracy. At the same time the
chairman of the Executive Commit
tee resigns his post without re-
signing from the league. The rea-
sons brought forward for the res
ignations center around the occur
renee in the Madison Square Gar
den meeting of Feb. 18th.
The Buro Of the League ex-
presses its deep regret for the
development Of antagonisms which
in any way contribute to widening
the breach between any groups of
sincere opponents to war and fas-
cism. All such divisions bring joy
to the war-makers and fascists. All

POLO CAME

Army polo officials were to
examine the Potomac Park field
late today to determine whether
a postponement of Sundays game
in the international series with
Mexico, would be necessary. The
field was fairly soft last Wednes-
day, when the first game was
played.
Innasmuch as there were three
days Of sunshine preceding that
game, it is quite likely that a post
ponement of Sundays game will
be ordered. However, in an effort
to keep to the schedule, Army Of
ficerS will wait until tomorrow
morning before making the Off
cial announcement, so as to give
the sun a chance to dry up the
filed, if and when it comes out.
More international polo will
mark sports activities in the Dis
trict in 1885 if tentative pans
of Army officials carry.
Under the tentative plan, a
team representing the British
army would come to Washington
for an international series with a
team representing the American
Army, the series to be played in
Potomac Park.
The last visit of a British army
team to this country was made
in 1928, in which series the United
States four proved victorious. In
1925, the American team visited
Great Britain and won.

Everett Marshall. of the Grunt-

crack at Jeem Londos' crown. At
least, so say those who think
Everett is a great rassler. Ev won
last night in Griffith Stadium
from Ernie Dusek by foul, no
less, before $500 onlookers.
It appears that last nights bout
from the very start was destined
to end outside the roped arena or
squared circle or whatever they
call the thing in which the
rassling starts. It did end outside
the roped arena, ETC., some %
minutes later.
Ernie tossed Ev outside the ring
once too often, hence the foul.
AS usual, both boys, or rather.
both men, used up a lot of special
holds during the course of the af-
fair, which was interesting and
colorful throughout. Ev employed
the flying tackle quite often but
a foul is just as good as a flying
tackle any day, if your foeman
commits the foul.
Earl McCready dropped Dick
Stahl after IL minutes in the
semifinal. Henry Graber and Dr..
