Il Cannot Forget Thaelmann
For l Minute, Says Dimitrof

PARIS.-"I cannot forget Ernst
Thaelmann, not even for one in
stant," writes George Dimitroff,
heroic Communist defendant in the
Reichstag fire trial, in a letter to
Roman ROLAND and Henri Bar
busse, from a sanatorium in the
Soviet Union.
"It is now a question of throw
ing all our forces into the fight for
the liberation of the anti-fascists
who are still in the clutches of the
Nazis," writes Dimitroff.
Il am thinking in particular of
Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the
German Communists, the best and
clearest brain of the German pro-
letariat. His fate worried me dur

you did SO much for us-it is
now necessary to do even more, far
more, for him, for his release will
naturally be a much more difficult
task.
Naturally, the difficulties must
not frighten us, nor frighten you,
you and your friends; and they do
not frighten us. A great aim is
worth the greatest risks. And our
liberation from the claws of the
German fascists shows that by the
effort of all forces, in a united front,
it is truly possible VIGOROUSLY to
overcome the greatest difficulties"

Mosley, Ex-Socialist,
Leads Fascist Rally

LONDON, April 23.-Sir Oswald
Mosley, ex-Socialist, leader of the
British fascist black shirts, gathered
10000 of the most reactionary ele-
ments of the British ruling class
for meeting last night in Albert
Hall devoted to brutal, naked ma
tional chauvinism.
Mosley declared that he expected
to seize power, and by decree would
forbid the importation of any goods
or raw materials which could be
produced in England. He declared
his allegiance to the king, and de-
clared his fascists would deal with
Communists and Jews "as they de-
served"

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 23.-
Hundreds of workers filled the Com

forced the city to officially endorse
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill (H. R. 1899, and to in
struct the Congressman from the
district to support the bill.
On March 26, workers modified
by the Unemployment Councils
filled the Council meeting. Alder
man Tesch was forced to introduce
the bill. At the next council meet
ing the workers again stormed the
meeting. Alderman Tesch, So
cialist, refused to introduce mo-
ton for separate action on the bill
so the workers present could discuss
it, and when the workers spokes-
man took the floor, Gauer, another
Socialist alderman, called the police
to put him out. The workers sprang

CORN AND HOG
CONTROL WILL
HELP FARMERS

Corn and hog producers of I'M
perial county, who cooperate with
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration in the national production
control program just launched, will
not only benefit themselves through
increased prices resulting from elm
ination of surpluSes, but also will
receive extra cash benefit or ad-
iustment payments from the feder-
al government over and above the
market prices for these products,
Frank Beyschlag, farm advisor, an
nounced today.
Under the corn hog adjustment
contracts to be executed by coop
Grating growers, he said, payments
of 80 cents a bushel will be made
on the average production of the
acres contracted to the government
in 1884 If the acreage taken out
of production, he explained, has
produced an average of 30 bushels
during 1882 and 1893, the base years,
the grower will receive an adjust
ment payment of SO an acre. If the
20 per cent reduction equals 10
acres, he explained further, the
producer IS total corn acreage bene-
fit payment for 1894 will be $50, less
administrative expense.
Similarly, Beyschlag added, hog
adjustment will amount to SIS head
on rs per cent of the average num-
ber farroWed and marketed during
the past two years. This means, he
said, that If a farmer has raised
and sold an average of 100 hogs
during 1882 and 1888, he is entitled,
under his contract with the secre-
tary of agriculture, to raise and sell
rs hogs in 1884. At $5 head, his
adjustment payment on rs hogs will
bring him 1915, less necessary ex-
pense of setting up the County

citation.

What is believed to be the first
commercial shipment of petroleum
products made in Imperial Valley
by airplane, is reported by the local
Shell Oil company agency, through
which a supply of Shell rocker arm
lubricant was delivered Wednesday
to w. j. Dayton of the Balfour-
Guthrie company, Calipatria, for his
Stearman plane.
Shipment was made from San
Diego by Ray Moore, head of the
Shell aviation department at Los
Angeles, plotting the company's No.

from the coast city for the valley
when a request for the lubricant was
received, there being none available
in the valley.

Mrs Moore. w. w Phelps, assist
ant district manager at San Diego,

BY this time many of the rabbit
boys and girls who had gone to
sleep in the nursery were awake
wanting to know what it was all
about. And when they were told
many of the older ones jumped out
of bed and began helping Uncle
Wiggily and his wife and Nurse
Jane look for the china doll
All the while Tootsie was sitting
up in her crib saying:
II want her! I want her l can't
go to sleep without her!"
well, where is your doll?" asked
Uncle Wiggily at last, and he was
a bit cross for he, like Nurse Jane,
had bumped his head crawling un-
der Busters bed Where did you
have your doll last, Tootsie?"
"I-now-I was playing with my
doll out in the yard sobbed Toot-
sic, and 1 dropped her in the snow
near the back steps and I couldn t
find her again and I cried"
Well why didn't you tell me
that this afternoon when it was
daylight?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
Then I could have gone out and
looked in the snow for her.
"I-now-I guess I forgot Sob

now or I can't go to sleep!"
"Oh, dear!" sighed Mrs. Longears
! Il guess the only thing for you to

THEY DON'T EXIST

Now boys, | am counting on your
honor. Be sports and do the square
thing and turn Ed loose Immediately and
tell him to come first to my home
Thus the father of Ed Bremen wrote
to his sons kidnapers in sending them
100000 to obtain the younger mans re-
lease from those who held him captive
for more than three weeks.
1t is a pitiful note-a father torn by
anxiety to have his son safely back with
MIN, willing to concede that there should
be such things as honor and squareness
in the character of those who make their
living by kidnapping, the cruelest and
vilest form of criminality.
The kidnaper strikes in the dark and
works in the dark. There is nothing Of
honor or squareness in his makeup. To
credit him with possession of such ideals
is as futile as saying that a block of
granite lives and breathes.
Young Bremen had hardly been re-
turned to his home when another gang
ster - Verne Sankey self-confessed
double kidnaper, ended his life in a pris-
on cell rather than face the punishment
which his crimes deserved This is not
TO be lamented. 1t was undoubtedly the
best thing he ever did in his miserable
life
There was every prospect that he
would have been confined in prison for
the rest of his life had he not decided
to cheat the law. That would mean the
state would have had to support him for
years to come He would have been we'll
provided for while thousands of honest
men would know the pangs of hunger
and want.
Those whom the elder Bremen credit
ed with having honor and squareness are
still at liberty, with the 100000 which
their vile work brought them. The sue
cess which has accompanied the hunt
for kidnapers in the middle west has
been broken temporarily, but leads to the
hope that the Bremen abductors will
eventually be apprehended.
1t will then be seen how little of honor
and squareness they possess They will
squeal like rats when the hand of the
law clamps on them. They may try to
shoot it out with the law, but only if
the odds are heavily in their favor.
The country is gradually getting back
to normalcy. General Mitchell is on the
firing line again.
A curb on stock sales may do a great
deal of good, but how much more good
it would have done in 1928-29.

long, black cigar.
The senator from Louisiana grab

NOT REAL ECONOMY

Unified protest by various sections of
the Southwest depending upon irriga-
tlon for their very lives. against the re-
duction in the department of agricul-
ture budget which would eliminate
much OF the research work in connec-
tion with irrigation, gives hope that the
protests may be successful.
The United States experimental sta
tlon at Bard, in the eastern section of
Imperial county, is one of the institutions
which will have to close on June 80, un-
less the reduction is rescinded
But the protest is not confined to I'M
peral and Yuma sections. The irrigat-
ed area IN the orange belt-Ontario, Po-
mona, Riverside, and dozen other sec
tions, have united in sending protests to
the California delegation in congress,
enlisting their support in having the nee
eSSary appropriation placed back in the
budget.
Newspapers, chambers of commerce.
farm bureaus and numerous other organ
izations have Joined in the protest.
Elimination of the item of 100000
from the agricultural budget, the sum
necessary to provide funds for the bu-
reau of agricultural engineering. is
charged 10 the recommendation of a sub
committee composed entirely of eastern
senator's who do not realize the import
ant relation which this bureau for the
study of farm irrigation problems bears
to irrigated areas.
This bureau has been in existence more
than 35 years, during which time it has
been of inestimable value. Its elimina-
tion will mean that important expert
ments and research work are to be halt
ed, to save the government 100000.
Irrigation problems are multiplying
instead of decreasing and the position of
the irrigation farmer calls for more
assistance instead of less.
Granted that there is need for govern
ment economy, it appears that there are
other places where it can be practiced
with greater benefit to all than in elm
mating the bureau of agricultural en-
gineering.
