Issue Call For
Report On Banks

WASHINGTON, March %. UP)
The comptroller of the currency
today called upon all national banks
to report their condition as of
March 5.
This is the first time since 1881
that a call for reports on banking
conditions has gone out in the
March quarter of the year. The
law requires at least three calls a
year, but the comptroller may make
as many more as he sees fit.
Resumption of the March call
was believed to mark an effort to
publicize the improvement in bank
ing conditions over the past year,
The reports as of March 5 this
year will show a comparison with
conditions exactly year and a day
previous when President Roosevelt
took office in the midst of a ma
tionwide banking crisis and found
it necessary Immediately to close
all banks.

VALLEY MOVEMENT To CRUSH
COMMUNISM GETS UNDER WAY
WITH TWO LARGE MEETINGS
Gathering Al Fair Grounds This Afternoon
Preceded By Meeting Last Night To Dis.
cuss Active Program.

Upwards of 1900 persons had
gathered at the fair gorunds in
Imperial this afternoon TO par
ticipate in an Anti -Communis
program, arranged to demon
strate that Imperial Valley does
not propose TO sit idle while
Communists are making threats
to destroy the cantaloupe crop.
Charles E. Nice, commander
cf the Imperial Valley Anti
Communist association presided
at the meeting, and made the
opening address in which he as
serted that the valley faces a Sc
riOlfs crisis and must take de-
cisive action if the object of
radicals is not TO be achieved.
He cited the disorder which
prevailed during harvesting of
the lettuce and pea crops and
declared that such conditions
must not be permitted to exist
during the cantaloupe crop on
which the valley will depend for
its summer prosperity.
Stressing the fact that I'm
perial Valley can take care of
its own affairs, he scored the
activities of outside radical agi-
tators for whom he blamed the
valley labor troubles.
He was still speaking at press
time and was to be followed by

of valley leaders.
Keep agitators out of the valley,
and we can take care of our own
labor problems without any outside
help" was the opinion expressed
last night at meeting of represen-
tative shippers, growers, field and
shed workers, and other interested
persons at the court house last
night. The meeting was presided
over by B. M. Graham, chairman
of the board of supervisors, which
body had authorized the meeting,
calling it for the purpose of devils
ing some plan by which these prob
lens might be satisfactorily settled.
Elmer Heald, district attorney
stated that there is a real crisis fac
ing the valley and that he had dis
cussed this meeting with represen-
tative citizens throughout the val
ley before he recommended to the
FlSolo OlldU IL DC CulDlOy
ers and employees must get toge-
ther, not only here but throughout
the country, Heald stated further,
and suggested that a permanent
board of arbitration for the valleys
labor troubles might be the answer
to the problem. 1t would be cheaper
in the long run if this could be
done, he said.
A. j. Jack told those present
that the growers and shippers have
lost heavily in the past few years
but that in spite of this wages for
the workers had been raised last
fall. The workers, he said were sat-
isfied with conditions here until the
agitators came into the valley and
upset things. If all people in the
valley will work in harmony we will
have industrial peace here, he said.

CHICAGO, March %. - Emma
Goldman, the radical firebrand OF
the mauve decade, came back with
a message of thrilling American
freedom" last night to the scene of
the blody Haymarket riots where
she first espoused the cause of an
archy.
In her audience were many who
remembered her as Red Emma

try preaching destruction of govern
ment. Now as a woman without a
country, she placed her blessing on
the government which depcrted
her.
Emma still clung to the framework
of her anarchistic philosophy. Last
night, however, she politely rallied
her indignations against dictator
ships in Italy, Germany and Soviet
Russia. She spoke most bitterly
against Russia, the land she once
hailed as Utopia.

B0RAH W|DENS RECOVERY At TTACK
Condemns AAA Policy Of Restriction On
Crops While Hunger Prevails.

WASHINGTON, March %. U,P)-
Senator William E. Borah, Rep,
Ida, has renewed his criticism of
recovery legislation and extended
the attack from the NRA to the
AAA policy of restricting crops
while millions of Americans went
without needed food.
If carried to its logical conclusion,
said Borah, the restriction program
would lend in great detriment to
our nation as a whole" and retard
economic recovery.
He charged the NRA codes were
"sapping the very foundation upon
which recovery exists" through fos-
