TOhGN Should Buy
TOOkLyn Franchise
BM Terry's Jest
By BILL CoRUM

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-There
isn't likely to be any immediate
sale Of the Brooklyn baseball
franchise, but that the team
will be sold within the next year
or so is almost q certainty.
There has been some talk
about Col. T. L. Huston, once
half owner Of the Yankees, buy
ing the Dodgers and putting
Wilbert Robinson back at their
head. We seriously doubt that
he will. Neither Colonel Til nor
Robbie are as young as he used
to be, and it is highly question
able if either Of them would be
anxious to undertake such an
ambitious project at this time
Of life.
# Robbie would, he has
changed his mind since the last
time we discussed the subject
with him. He wasn't, if the
truth be known, overly anxious
to take his present job with the
Atlanta team, Of the Southern
League. Robbie must be in the
ne1ghborhood Of 70. Rebuilding
and revitalizing the Brooklyn
ball team Is a job for a younger
man.
: We'd like to see George M.
Cohan buy the Brooklyn team.
First, because we believe it
would be a splendid thing for
baseball, and particularly base
ball in Brooklyn-a city that de-
serves better than it has been
getting in a baseball way. Sec
ond, because it would be splen-
did thing and sound investment
for Mr.. Cohan. Or, at any
rate, we believe it would.
Time Is Ripe
II there is a good buy in
major league ball today it is
Brooklyn. The time is ripe for
. winner at Ebbets Field, and
getting together a winning out
fit is not such a terrific job as
the uninitiated may believe.
The main thing is the right
spirit and complete cooperation
among all hands. Bill Terry
and the Giants proved that last
year, as it has been proved
many times in the past. Proba-
bly, more pennants are won and
lost in the front office than on
the field. And seldom is a team
that is operated under dual
ownership successful.
Bob Quinn is a sound base
ball man and pleasing fellow
personally. But it is doubtful
if he has a free enough hand
to make any material improve
mentS. He would appear to
be just another cook inserted
into a situation that already
had enough cooks to spoil the
broth. Quinn is not, inciden-
tally, either a son or grandson
of Jack Quinn, who until re-
Gently was one of the Robins
1nain-stays in the box.
Anybody who knows him
must like the aged Steve Nc
Keever. There is nothing in
the old gentleman to dislike.
It would be the thrill of a long
lifetime for him to zee his boys
win a championship in Brook
lyn. And if you don't think
it would be a thrill to those

WHATS Doing in the Workers
Schools of the L. S.
New York Workers School
Last Week of Registration

According TO present indications
the New York Workers School was
fully justified in preparing an ad-
ditional floor with six more class
rooms for the fall term. Fourteen
hundred students have already
registered. The tremendous rate at
which students are now registering
lead us to believe that when the
school opens its classes Sept "A,
from $500 to 5000 will have reg
istered.
Principles Of Communism and
Elements of Political Economy are
the most popular courses, half of
the students enrolling for them.
There have been many new and
interesting courses added to the
curriculum such as: History of Sci
once and Technology; Origin Of
Man and Civilization; History of
Economic Theories; History of Chi
nese Soviets; Revolutionary Inter
probation of Modern Literature and
others. A special short-term course
is being given this term on the Eco
Monies and Politics of Fascism and
Social Fascism, by Clarence Hatha-
way. This lecture will be given
every Saturday, from to 5.
Glasses are filing up rapidly.
Many are already closed. 1t is
therefore imperative that those
wishing to register do so at cnce.

Central Nebraska has had rain.
The landscape is green sgain-some
Of the cottonwood trees had lost all

coming out, as though it was Spring.
Already they have had light frost
the growing season is about done.
Cattle are doing well enough graz
ing in the canyon bottoms, but the
corn cribs are empty and there is
no hay in the barns. The farmers
are facing winter with no feed for
the stock, and no cash to buy groc-
cries. Relief for man and beast is an
absolute necessity throughout the
immense territory from the spring
wheat lands of North Dakota to
south Of the Panhandle of Texas.
The Roosevelt administration is
stepping into the picture with relief
offerS-at price. He who receives
relief feed shall reduce his stock
down to 10 units. A unit is defined
by the A.A.A. as one horse, or one
cow, or two hogs, or two sheep, or
100 chickens. A 1O-unit farm might
be two horses five head Of cattle
and six hogs. This is a subsistence
farmer, an American peasant. Thir-
teen years of low prices, and now
absolute crop failure, gives the Dem
ocratic administration the oppor-
tunity to dictate such ruthless terms
to the farmers.

Students enrolling for the two

school. A new course during the
coming fall term will be Leninism.
Courses in trade unionism. workers

The LuH Before the Storm
Drought Notes

A farmer who reduces to 10 units
is allowed S25 a month to feed his
stock. A ton Of hay costs over $40
today and will be higher later. One
COW requires half a ton a month.
SIS just won't bring the ten units
through for hay alone without men,
tioning grain feed. Maybe the brains
Of the A.A.A. are counting on farm
ers piecing out win some Russian
thistles cut along the roadside, and
wheat straw from last years stock,
which is of very slight food value.
The fact of the matter is that
thousands Of farmers are being
forced to seriously consider reducing
to the peasant 10 unit level in order
to get the $25 a month, but know
full well that next spring their stock
will be thin and weak and their
cows permanently ruined as mixers.
These are the hard terms which
capitalism offers American farmers
with a broad smile.
Last night at the farm table, after
helping milk line of fine COWS, I
asked: What have you in the NOW
and the crib?'
Just nothing" the farmer said.
His wife spoke up, What are we
going to do?" These were the exact
words in the mouth of a crying
woman that started action in the
Arkansas drought three winters ago.

Investigation of Armament Makers
Fdrcical, MarxiSt Writings Prove

NEW YORK. - Another Senate
investigation-they crop up every
time some scandal has to be pub
licly acknowledged so it can be
quietly covered up-has finally dis
covered that there is a wicked in
ternational trust of armament
makers.
The cleverly- publicized hearing,
trifiing with effects and not with
basic causes of the race for arms,
is arousing the enthusiasm of the
pacifists and liberals who hail the
event as an example of Watchful
government zealouSly avoiding the
danger Of war. This widespread
publication of scandals of the arm
ament makers, because in most
cases it accompanies pacif1st prop
Uganda which lulls. rather than
awakens mass struggle against war,
is not without its dangers for the
working class movement.
Sherman's famous phrase, war
is He'll" was rather more deScrip-
tive than educational. Much nearer
the truth was the statement of an
other militarist, the German Cen
eral Clausewicz, quoted by Lenin in
his work, Imperialism. the Highest
Stage of Capitalism: War is poll
tics continued by other-ie.-more
iorcible means"
Thus Saraievo was only the
spark, not the basic reason, for the
holocaust of 1914-19; wars are bred
by the capitalist system itself, not
only by the evil Vaccinations of
capitalists who operate under the
system and are enabled by it to
reap such bloody profits; the war
danger is woven into the very fab
ric of capitalism-in the class
struggle between employer and en-
rioyed. in the struggle for markets
between rival capitalists, in the I'M
ceasing hostility of the capitalist
powers against the workers state,
the Soviet Union.
Few strikes today have been iso-
lated from the question Of war
preparations. What strike has not
faced the war machinery of the
government, the N.R.A.. the tanks
and machine guns of the capitalist
state? How many hungry men and
women are brought into the ele-

the English Department of the New
