who pulled the farm workers
out on strike recently, and then

Around The World
In Three Minutes
With HARRY HAMMOND

The tide of revolutionary resent
ment against the forces of NaZism
grows stronger Even the foreign
bourgeois press frequently com
ments on the great increase of rev
dictionary sentiment and deeds in
the land of Hitler.
Germany's foreign trade shows
most clearly the decline of Nazism.
The April exports fell 2lG6 under
March. or the IS million mark drop
IS million was from decreased So
Wet trade with Germany. In des-
peration embargoes have been
placed on wool, cotton, copper etc,
to protect" German industries
and shoot up farther the cost of
living.
The NaZi homestead policy has
proved a failure and Hitler has
been forced to forbid country work
ers to move to the cities.
Labor Camps for Culture
The decay of German culture I'M
der FasCism is most graphically
shown by the sales of German
bookstores which declined 1870 in
1888.
Labor camps have been estab-
lished for law students, where no
books are allowed. One of the larg
est publishing houses has reduced
it's publishing to one twentieth what
1t formerly was; As publishers have
gone out of business; science Is
dying and foreign orders for scien
tific literature has ceased.
Hitler has reduced the attendance
at German universities from $4,000
to $4,000 students.
Opposition to Japanese
Peasant revOlts against Japanese
militarism are increasing rapidly.
Recently 1000 peasants were
slaughtered by Japs for resisting
confiscation of their land. Men, wO-
men and children were murdered
in cold blood to make way for a
Japanese railway to approach the
Soviet border.
Rising Standards in USSR
Sweeping wage increases for
nearly all workers went into effect

ance fund is also being greatly in

Compensation
For Industrial
Accidents SLOU

ABERDEEN, June l5.-WorK-
ers in all phases of industry COM
ing under the State Industrial
Insurance Act are realizing that
they face q menacing situation,
with the lumber barOn-contrOlled
Insurance Department allowing
red tape to Interfere with its
application of the act.
Claims against the state by
loggers who have been MANNED
or badly injured have been held
up by legal technicalities, and
numerous deaths can be directly
traced to the door of these
delays.
The purpose of this deliberate
sabOtaging of the workers just
claims, it is reported. is to keep
down the number of reported
injuries, SO that the insurance De
partment will not rule certain
industries as too dangerous for
the issuance OF group insurance
policies.
Most of the complaints have
come from the loggers. Workers
in the lumber industry are con-
stantly on the move, and if a
man Is hurt, he is always sent
to some remote spot to make
q report of his case.
If, through practices like the
last mentioned and through
delay on the part Of the doctors,
q workers claim can be held up
for sixty days, it is outlawed by
the state.
When on some rare occasion
an injured man Is given nos
pital care. he Is usually dis
missed before he has received
sufficient medical attention. Au-
thentic evidence reveals that the
State Insurance Institution Is in
debt to the depth of 100000.
and officials are cutting hospital
expenditures to the bone.
The collision between the
lumber trust and the state hos
pitfalls is shown by the fact that
the superintendent Of the Aber.
deem General Hospital, Snydr, is
the former bGokkeeper Of a large
logging company. Snyder, with
profound Misunderstanding ability,
essed his way into his present
position by adept Juggling Of the
