his crops everything that gave his life meaning and
purpose crushed by the soaring heat, withered and
stricken both BY the blight of nature and the
brutal indifference and csllousness Of capitalist
government to which he had been taught to look
as his protector.
What indescribabie bitterness and suffering there
is in the sardonc words he penned before he muir

This is my first and only contribution to the

Literally, just as literally as Claude Reynolds
slew himself and his children, the Roosevelt gov
eminent, by its failure to come to the relief of
the drought-stricken farmers, doing the service of
the money masters, is sentencing hundreds of
thousands Of ruined and impoverished farmers and
their families to disease and death.

back Of the exploiting class that had wiped out
the rule Of the bankers and Wall Street monopoles

Claude Reynoldses to face the drought unaided.
A Soviet Government that had smashed the rule
Of the capitalist parasites would have given Claude
Reynolds the full power of its cooperation in the
fight against the drought, enemy of the welfare
Of society. Because such government would have
been the expression of the interests of those who
labor, and not those who exploit and plumber
The road that Reynolds took is not the right
road. 1t is the road that leaves the power Of the
brutal parasites untouched and unframed.
The road that the drought-stricken farmers must
take now is the road of struggle for immediate
relief from the Roosevelt government. In the Farm
ers Emergency Relief Bill of the Communist Party
the stricken, impoverished farm population has
mighty weapon to win relief from the anguish of
the drought, the yoke of debt slavery, and the
miseries Of poverty. There is desperate need for
action.

Open Fascist
Drive Against
Greek TOilers

Mayors Suppress
Newspapers

ATHENS. June 22.-Fearful of
the growing strike struggles of the
Greek workers, especially the dock
ers and tobacco workers, the Gov
eminent here has opened up a vi
cious fascist attack on the Commu-
mist Party Of Greece. The govern
ment has removed the Commmu-
mist Mayors Of Cavalla, center Of
the Greek tobacco industry from
office, and of Series, after they
were elected by large majority Of
the workers.
A bill is being introduced by the
Minister of the Interior, along the
lines Of the British sedition bill,
only with few more drastic provi-
sions. declaring that "agitators"
among students, sailors and national
minorities will be subject to i'm
prisonment for five years.
Action Aimed at all Labor Groups
All Communist organizations, UNI
der the bill, will be subject to dis
solution in the fashion carried out
by Hitler. Not only does the new
law, receiving support of all cap
italiSt parties, and the many fas-
cist groups, aim at suppression of
the two Communist dailies. This
action is seen as aimed not only at
the Communist organizations but
subsequently at all workers organi-
cations, but declares all anti-fascist
organs illegal.
The action came after strike of
$4,000 workers in PiraeuS had been
smashed by the most bloody terror
and the workers driven back to
work. The government is threaten
ing to send all arrested Communists
and anti-fascists to the Island of
Anaphi which is to be a concen-
tration camp.
Fascist Coup on Deck
Preparations are being made in
Greece for 8, fascist coup under the
leadership of the Minister of War
General Kondylis. There are a
large number of other fascist group
ings, especially the group around
the reactionary newspaper "Hestia, ="
which receives huge sums and main
tains open relations with the British
embassy.
The fascist gangs have found it
difficult to unite their forces, due to
the great and growing mass dis
content, AND the strong resistance
of the workers under the leader
ship of the Communist Party. How
ever, in preparation for the fascist
coup, which the recent anti Com
munist laws show is rapidly matur-
ing, the E. E. E., which has the con-
fidence of the largest number of
capitalists, and is aided by the
Venizelos, is already attempting to
come to a general agreement with
the other fascist cliques. They are
arming their followers making
ready for a bloody attack against
the working class and the inaugura-
ton of a fascist dictatorship.

States. But because the enterprise
was backed by six workers organiza-
tions the paper has continued to
appear for Is years.
The greater part of the work was
done collectively, without any pay,
only the editor received a small
salary.
From the very beginning Jus lin
had many enemies to fight,-at first
there were religionists, with Pastor
Rebane at their head. Then there
were some hoodlums, paid by bour-
gois circles, who tried to abolish
the paper through terror.
But because Jus lin had from
the beginning a strong proletarian
foundation, the majority of Esto-
mans here being workers and poor
farmers, all efforts to destroy the
paper failed. The paper gained in
influence when Hans Poogelman
gave to the paper more distinctive
course, following the left wing of
the American Socialist Party be-
fore the establishment of the Com
munist Party.
1t succeeded during 1918 in build
ing up the Estonian Federation,
which consisted of nine organiza-
tions. Jus lin now became the
official organ of the Federation,
which helped to secure its position
in general.

when the nations were drowned in
chauvinism, it became very diff
cult for Jus lin to maintain the
proper policy. At that time Com
munist literature was very scarce in
America. The paper nevertheless
fought mercilessly against the i'm
perialist war. The gigantic turmoil
of the Russian Revolution took
Comrade Poogelman from the Jus
lin. His place was taken by j..

AS result of the Russian Revo-
luton there was change in the
working class movement in Amer
lea; mass rehabilitation commenced.
The organized Eastonian workers
also became more revolutionary.
Revolutionary enthusiasm was so
strong that the bourgeois Estonian
Society fell to pieces, although this

of experiences in 1905 they COM

NEW YORK. - In London and
Toxic the big diplomatic guns are
in action blasting the road for a
huge naval arms race in prepara-
ton for the 1885 naval conferences.
In London, the British and Amer
lean naval experts are jockeying to
be in an advantageous position for
the Forthcoming preliminary naval
conference soon to take place in
London, and for the 1885 confer
ence.
Meanwhile, the United States,
London and Toxic are speeding
their naval building programs. The
United States delegates aim to
come to some agreement with the
leading competitor of Wall Street
on ornaments in order to meet
the demands of the Japanese. The
British in return presented the
American naval experts with de-
mand for a tremendous increase in
the British navy. A statement
handed to Norman H. Davis, United
States Ambassador at Large, by
Ramsay Macdonald, for transmits
sion to Washington, puts the
British position as demanding first
of all 10 cruisers in place of the
so provided in the 1880 London
naval treaty.
u. S. Holds Club
The American imperialists hold
up the club of the VinSon Bill and
the authorization for the construc-
ton Of 102 war vessels by the
United States. The naval confer
ence maneuverS, however, cannot
in the least cover up the sharpen
ing conflicts between the United
States and Britain, on the one
hand, and the United States and
Japan, on the other.
Behind the naval talks go on the
bitterest rivalries for markets, es-
pecially in the Far East; conflicts
over war debts, tariff reprisal
schemes, financial conflicts, all
rapidly leading to a new imperial
ist slaughter. The aim of the
preliminary conferences is to gain
advantages from each other in
ornaments, to force alliances. The

ditions of the employees"
Any election" controlled by the
Roosevelt government board, will
have the same element of terror
which now existes. These coming
elections" will saddle the workers
with the company union, backed
by the force of the Roosevelt gov
eminent. On pain of loss of job
and blacklisting the worker will be
forced to participate in the COM
pany union election. This is what
the Green-Tighe proposal aims to
force on the workers in place of a
fight for recognition of the union.
And Tighe and Green talk "elec-
tons" in order to hide their treach-
cry in dropping any struggle for
the economic demands of the work
erS.
Not government controlled cleo
tions leading to strengthening of
the company unions, but fight for
the economic demands of the work
ers! Such fighting policy, call
ing for preparations for strike to
achieve these economic demands, is
put forward by the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union. The S.
M. w. I. U. calls for the unity of
all steel workers in united mill
committees to prepare strikes for
these economic demands.

ficials. The government of Canada
barred Jus lin for the workers and
farmers there; the Estonian gov
eminent has on many occasions ap-
pealed to the American government
to forbid the mailing of Jus lin to
Estonia.
During the past year, when fas-
cism moved across the Baltic States
and consequently many fascist or
CARNATIONS were founded in the u.
S., the Estonian Workers Center
was burned down twice. But such
actions only intensified the struggle
of the workers, and at present Jus
Inn and the Estonian Workers Cen
ter are stronger than ever before.
In the near future Jus lin will
be published in six pages; recently
it began to publish monthly paper
for working women, entitled Naist-
ooline The Working Woman.
All this displays clearly the
strength of Jus lin and shows to
us that it, together with other ma
tional papers fighting along with

masses toward new and better ex-
lstence, toward Soviet America.

The same cable goes on to admit
that the pact would be aimed at
the Soviet Union and China. The
fact, however, is not mentioned
that the Soviet Union has offered
Japan and all other powers nom
aggression pacts, and that the
Japanese imperialists have deliber-
ately rejected this pact.
The Japanese move, which with
support of the British who are
the main organizers of the Anti
Soviet war front, is an attempt
to direct the growing imperialist
conflicts into the channels of
united action against the Soviet
Union.

HOOK MALADY FROM

Young chickens and turkeys In
many sections have been affected
with a condition known as hook
disease. which can be corrected by
leaving mineral mixtures out OF the
ration.
Mineral mixtures should be fed
separately and not placed In the

This malady made its appearance
among brooder chicks and poults
especially. II now appears quite
definitely to be due to the addition
OF too much mineral In the ration
II has been reproduced by the ad.

After an affected chick gets to be
few weeks old Its legs become
bowed outward until they will no
longer support the weight OF It's
body. The chick then gets around
by walking on Its hooks. The
hooks become enlarged and the ten.

In brief. the mineral mixtures
have often been overdone. In sev.
eral commercial mineral mixtures
on the market there is a little OF
almost every kind of mineral. many
Of which are not needed In the pro-
