FARM PLAN RIGHT,
ASSERTS WALLACE
Kentuckians Told Some Mis-

Fight Will Continue.

HOPKINSvILLE, KY. August l.
Secretary wallace last night reiter-
ated his arguments for continuation
OF the agricultural adjustment pro-
gram in an address before d group Of
Kentucky farmers.
Because Of the scale OF operations
under the agricultural adjustment act
some experimenting was necessary.
the Secretary said.
Consequently, we made some mis-
takes, but when we look at the ac-
complishments we are convinced that
we are moving in the right direction,
because II is clearly evident that the
excess supplies are being moved into
consumptive channels and the farm
ers' income Is being increased" he
said.
Tobacco Growers Aided.
The administration has q long way
yet to go, wallace said. but some prog
ress has been made in increasing
the income Of tobacco growers through
q marketing agreement and imitation.
"Our immediate problem" he said.
"is to consolidate the gains already
made and keep production near the
level Of consumption until such time
as the slower working remedies begin
TO take effect"
Wallace declared much of the DIFF
flculties Of tobacco farmers In recent
years resulted from disappearance Of
Lak~ aasvVataA NwAkh In
creased production when farmers
sought to maintain their income by
planting larger crops In the face Of
declining prices.
Output Restriction.
"In view of this situation it ap-
peared imperative that the American
farmer restrict his output until some
Of the excess supplies could be moved
into consumptive channels or until
the recently lost export outlets could
De reopened," he said.
Efforts at aiding farmers are not
limited, however, TO cutting produc-
ton, he asserted, adding that earnest
work is under way to restore foreign
markets through The reciprocal tariff
bargaining bill.
with the setting up Of new agen-
cies to deal with various phases Of
the problem, and particularly with
the enactment Of the reciprocal tariff
act, we are now equipped to enter
upon an active campaign for the
upbuilding of our seriously depleted
foreign trade" he added. Secretary

MAJOR CROPS BAN
MAY Be RELAXED
Drought Continuance Brings
Study OF Changes for
Next Years.
b. the Associated Press

Bv the Associated Press
The steady continuance of the
country's worst drought has led farm
ofiiciak 10 consider relaxation OF vr-
tually all production restrictions next
year in major farm commodities
wheat. corn, hogs and possibly cotton.
Ofhcisls said. however, such a step
would be taken only If the next sew
eral weeks bring no break in the dry
siege which Is reducing surpluses at a
rate alarming to the men who aimed
their program at pairing the depres-
sion-accumulated mountains of farm
products.
No Basic Change.
1t was explained offlcially. however.
that removal of restrictive regula-
tions would not mean any basic
change in control plans. Neverthe-
less, farmers might be allowed to plant
full acreage in 1885. AS officials ex-
plain it, they could receive Govern
ment checks as at present in return
for signing contracts that would
pledge reduction in 1886, IL that be-
came necessary.
For example, If there should be a
normal. or more than normal, pro-
duction of wheat In 1885. growers
already would be pledged to acreage
reduction the following year.
Hoping for a break in the drought,
the Farm Administration has drafted
tentative plans for next year, which
include smaller reductions than those
enforced this year. but q measure of
restriction nevertheless. That tenta-
tive program embraced uniform con-
tract and several improvements on
the concededly somewhat cumbersome
machinery set up to handle programs
now under way,
Alternatives Studied.
Ohicials still are hopeful their
original plans may go through. but the
dry spell has led to doubts by many
and study Of alternatives.
The chief concern of the Farm Ad-
ministration just now, outside the
actual ravages of the drought. is the
possibility Of psychological reaction
against curtailment over the country
at large.
| Oficials contend the administration
has helped alleviate the drought stu
alton. The series of speeches now
being made by administration leaders
is stressing the crop insurance phases
of present efforts. Offlcials are as
| serting to growers that it would take
only year or two of unregulated pro-
duction to bring back surpluses that
would bear heavily again on prices.

agricultural America could not sur
vfye without corresponding measures
Of readjustment and self-eontrol.
Regarded House Divided"
We felt that under the old order
America had become. economically, a
house divided against itself which
could not stand unless 1t became sll
OF one thing or all Of the other. Either
industry must prefer abundance To
scarcity or 1t would compel agriculture
to prefer scarcity to abundance.
While there are undoubtedly many
who believed that not the farmer but
the business system itself is at fault.
that not the farmer but the business
system itself should be changed. the
production control methods which We
adopted for the farmer in self defense
were essentially temporary methods of
adjustment which could be modified
or abandoned as industry attuned it
self to an economy of abundance"
Tugvell added that despite the
lamentations of the Tory obscur-
antists." the administration knew the
American people had given no man
date for the final abandonment OF
our traditional business system"
When the American people, he
said. gave this administration au-
thority-and the Tories seem to for
get that the American people by a
record vote did confer very wide au-
thority-it was to readjust relation
ships among our old institutions, to
overhaul them, 10 repair them, 10
make them work II they could be
made to work. to modify them when
they failed to function and to demon
strate by the old method of trial and
error which OF those institutions
could be readjusted TO the new eco
nomic environment OF the post war
world. ."

Hitting at those who have seized
on the great natural calamity of a
drought" as a means Of destroying
or discrediting the will OF the Amer
lean people, as expressed in Con-
gress. for the betterment Of agri-
culture" Tugwell asserted:
These same Tories fought for
years to maintain unlimited immi-
grafton into the United States, in
order that they might have a con-
slant supply Of cheap labor and OF
what really amounted to a reservoir
of strike-breakers with which to COM
bat the efforts of American labor TO
win decent wages and working condi-
tions; they are now fighting for an
agricultural production subject only
to the uncertain control of nature
with which to lessen the costs OF
raw materials and to increase by
speculation their unnecessary profits
And they are trying to array la
Dor against the farmers, with the

ating the speculative conditions which

Paris Govt Exposed
in StaviSky Scandal
Attacks Red Press
Seeks to Rush Through
Gag Law to Prevent
Future Exposures

PARIS, Jan. 15.-The whitewash-
ing of high government officials who
aided Serge Stavisky in swindling
the French public of $40,000,o00 was
followed today with introduction by
the government Of a bill to gag the
French press to prevent future ex-
posures of government corruption.
The bill, which seeks to strengthen
the libel laws, is aimed especially
against the Communist paper,
81 Humanite," which exposed, the
role of government officials in the
colossal swindle and in the subce-
quent police-murder Of Stavisky to
protect the government.
'rL'Humanite" sounded a call to the
workers to defend their press today,
while numerous other newspapers
joined in fiercely criticising the gov
ernment's censorship measure.
Nine. Alexandra Sacha StavisEy,
widow Of the murdered financier, to-
day accused the government OF MUIR
dering him.
Premier Chautemps, who with
former Colonial Minister Delimier
and other high officials were impli-
Gated in the swindle, has taken per-
sonal charge of the investigation" to
guarantee its conduct in channels
safe to the government.

connected with the worst racketeer in the labor move
ment
And here We may ask Why, Mr. Roosevelt with
Pittsburgh workers living the diSeaseridden dirty
filthy novels of MI Mellon, do you provide millions
to build up Mr.. Melons on-diSpenSing educational
Cathedral instead Of building homes for the workers."
While closing down elementary schools and leaving
teachers unpaid Roosevelt helped build this monument
TO Mellon.
But this is all part and parcel OF the corrupt,
rotten capitalist system, which spends billions for
slaughter, for preparations handing oxt billions
to the Melons, Rockefeers, permitting the strike
breaking union bureaucrats to rake off their share at
the expense Of starving destitute workers.
IN PITTSBURGH there is burning indignation among
the rank and hIe who are beginning to protest
and organizing against this rotten corruption in their
unions
Thus far they have not seen the connection Of the
Roosevelt regime and of the Ptnchot regime.
Here Is great opportunity for the Communist
Party to mobilize the rank and file opposition groups
within the A F. Of L. for fight to the finish against
the racketeering Bureaucracy.
Thus far the resistance of the rank and file has
been spontaneous. Many Of the bureaucrats respon-
sble will creep into it, and try to mislead it. The
Roosevelt takers will try to use it as tail to their
own fascist kite to help them put over the antiunon
laws that will not touch the racketeerng leaders, but
will hit the fighting ability of the rank and file.
Certainly there has been laxity in Pittsburgh in
penetrating the A. F. of L. unions, as the events in
the racket exposes show. There has been underes-
timation Of the necessity of taking the leadership
among the rank and file, pointing the way to militant
organized opposition groups to carry on the fight
In the struggle against the racketeers there should
be developed fight against the high gouging dues,
the system of dropping unemployed members, the
smashing of trade union democracy. order to win
the masses in the A. F. of L. unions against the whole
rotten policy of the Roosevelt regime and for real
struggle in the workers interest opposition groups
must be built up.
And only the Communists give the guidance
and leadership which will guarantee the fight to VIC
tory for the rank and file against their grating leaders
connected with the capitalist state machinery Of strike
breaking and oppression.

Lenin on the Murder OF LiebknecEt and Luxembourg

Tenth Anniversary since the death
Of Lenin in January 1924.
Karl Liebknecht is a name
well known to the workers of all
countries. Everywhere, and espe-
cially in the Entente countries, this
name is the symbol of leaders de-
votion to the interests of the prole-
tariat, of loyalty to the socialist revo-
luton. This name is the symbol of
a genuine ruthless struggle against
capitalism ready for every sacrifice.
This name is the symbol of irrecon-
cilable struggle against Imperialism,
not by words but by deeds, of a
struggle prepared for sacrifices just
at the time when "one's own" coun-
try is intoxicated with imperialist
victories. With Liebknecht and the
"Spartakists" goes everything which
is still honest and truly revolution
airy among the socialists of Germany,
everything that is best and convinced
in the proletariat, all the masses of
exploited who are boiling with in
dignation and whose readiness for
revolution is growing.

the Carpenters Union
With the knowledge land certainly with the per-
inlsson) Of CWA. officials workers we're forced to
kick in 500 initiation" fees and half their pay to

Here the whole rotten mess Of the CWA is IN
