Drastic punishment for holders
Of mortgages who refused to &C
cept bonds Of the Home Loan
and Farm Loan administrations
will be proposed in Congress by
group headed by Representative
McKeown CD Of Oklahoma.
Under the McKeown plan a vir-
tual moratorium would be granted
in all such cases. McKeown said:
"There are many instances
where holders Of farm and home
mortgages have refused to ac-
Cept bonds ~ a part Of the Gov
ernment's effort to. aid the farm
and home owner.
MANY hardhearted mortgage
holders prefer to fOreclOse, so
they may obtain valuable prop
er' cheap. These people ought !,
to be punished.
II am preparing q bill which
grants q moratorium where the
holders Of the lien refuse to ac-
cept the home loan and farm
loan bonds"
Interest on the home and farm
loan bonds is guaranteed by the
Federal government but the prin-
cipal is not.

SEATTLE, Aug. 30 Strike ae-

SEATTLE, Aug. 30 Answering
IA rebuff from the King County
Executive Committee of the. So

for united action, the Commun-
list Party is going forward with
the program announced early
this month.
ON August 9, a representative
of the Downtown Section of the
Communist Party appeared be-
fore the Central Branch of the
Socialist Party with call for
united front action against the
strike-breaking terror on the
West Coast. A committee of three
was elected by the membership
to meet with a committee from
the Communist Party to try to
come to some working agree
ment.
Committee Sends Delegates
At its meeting August II, the
King County Executive co III
mittee of the Socialist Party took
the negotiations out of the hands
of the Central Branch, and sent
some members of the Executive
Committee to meet with the
Communist Party.
After discussions over a per-
iod of two weeks, during which
plans were worked out for a
joint protest mass meeting, the
King County Executive Commit
tee announced on August n that

Nowhere in his sermon did
Billester call attention to the
fact that, as expressed by Corliss
Lamont in his recent pamphlet,
"On Understanding Soviet Rus
sia," at least 80 per cent of the
educational anti-religious cam
paign at present being conduct
ed in the Soviet Union is direct
ed solely against the sort of re-

peasants to march sOlemnly after

Billester narrated: Il saw 200

hang the red flag of Communism,

Ignore Truths"
Patriotic citizens who would
verbally uphold the ideals of
capitalism and Christianity are
badly handicapped, stated the
Reverend. by the ignorance of
the Communist agitators on the
real conditions i'm Russia, and he
said with cOmical earnestnesy. "a
Communist agitator hasn't the
capacity of bean to listen to
the facts when they are pre-
scented to him."

the writer who had been bemoan-
ing the general eussedness of the
Communist trouble makers at a
local cOmmissary were particu-
larly fervent at this point.
Workers! Expose this Racketeer
Apparently capitalizing on the
wave of terror and capitalist
publicity directed against the
Communist Party on the West
Coast, Billester is making an OPP

sides. He is appearing in numer-
