By HARRY CANNES

Faced with the growing
danger of war and fascism,
the international revolution
airy working class yesterday
massed it's forces in the
mightiest working class demonstra-
tons the world has even seen.
In the countries where the fas-
cist grip is the bloodiest, Germany,
Austria, Japan, Cuba, despite the
most formidable array of armed
forces and terror, the Communist
Party modified revolutionary &C.
lions of the working class to express
their international solidarity.
In every demonstration through
out the world the slogan, Free Our
Comrade Thaelmann," rang from
the Threats of millions of workers.
The fascist bloodhounds of the
Hitler regime was forced to resort
to another criminal incendiary act,
in an effort to prevent a Comnu-
mist demonstration in Augsburg,
and to open the way for a more
ferocious campaign of terror
Another Reichstag Fire ProvOcatlon
In the manner in which the Nazl
scum set fire to the Reichstag, on
May First they ignited the great
Singer Hall at Augsburg in five
places and burned it to the ground.
A United Press dispatch from
Berlin, carefully censored by the
Nazis in order to soft-pedal the
real forces of the tremendous May
Day activity of the Communist
Party of Germany, declared:
"Secret police raids throughout
the country in anticipation OF
May Day had seized quantities Of
Communist propaganda, and 1t
was known that Communists,
though hunted and subjected to
summary punishment for their
views, were active underground
in many places"
Especially in Augsburg, where
tens of thousands of leaflets and
pamphlets were distributed by the
Communist Party for May Day, the
Nazi executioners feared an open
May Day demonstration by the rev.
dictionary working class, and again
resorted to criminal incendiary
deed in order to inaugurate more
vicious terror and to concentrate all
of their fury against the Comnlu-
nists.
In Havana, the Mendieta Wall
Street-supported government, UNI
able to prevent the May Day DEM
onstration, the largest Havana has
ever seen, on the night of April SO
declared that May Day would be a
legal holiday. When $4,000 work
ers at one point n1assed in the
streets of Havana, the Roosevelt
financed Mendieta troops and po-
lice fired at the demonstration and
wounded eight workers. Two police
we're shot. Several of the workers
at the time of going to press are
reported dying.
Latest reports from Havana de-
clared that 100000 workers were
expected to be in the demonstra-
ton under the leadership of the
Communist Party of Cuba, and the
revolutionary National Confedera-
ton of Labor of Cuba.

cotton is picked.
Weev1s have increased rapidly in

unless action is taken to curb them,
many weevils will go through the Win

Under this transaction the certificate
is surrendered and cancelled and the
holder has no further interest in the
pool. The pool manager will with
draw from the pool and dispose of the
quantity of cotton covered by the
purchase of the certificate.
"The other form, known as C-5 is
intended for use by those certificate
holders who instead of selling their
certificates and terminating their in
terest in the Pool wish to take ad-
vantage of the offer to advocate an
additional cents per pound or $40

amendment to the contract upon
which the pool was established and
requests the pool manager to obtain
additional funds necessary to make a
further advance of $40 per bale to the
certificate holder Certificate holders
who obtain this advance will retain
their interest in the pool and will be
given new certificates evidencing this
interest which they may thereafter
sell to the pool manager and receive
the market value less II cents per

rate of 80 cents per bale per month

Mr.. Johnston explained that the
amount that would be received by
pool members obtaining the two cent
advance would be $3.50 per bale net.
The sum of $2.40 is deducted for
carrying charges up to October 1.
Those who obtained the two-cent ad-
vance will be entitled to any further

Cotton Control Program
No New Thing For South

College Station. Raleigh, Oct. /
Attempts TO control cotton production
are not new 60 the South.
The new thing is the present sue
cessful work OF the AAA and the
growers in curtailing production, says
Dean l. o. Schaub, of State College.
The first definite attempt to con-
troll production began back in the
winter of 1904, when "hold your
cotton movement was started, he
said.
Meetings were held in every court
house il the South and plans were
made for reducing acreage % per
cent The Southern Cotton Associa-
ton was formed, the Farmers Union
aided the work so did the southern
banking interests. Acreage was act
ually reduced II per cent.
In 1908, the dean continued, some
cotton was plowed up in an effort ia
reduce acreage 10 per cent. Bad
weather aided the effort But the re-
duction did not achieve all the results
desired.
A reduction Of ii per cent was Sc
cured in 1915 after governors of va
rious States had met in Memphis and
proposed laws 10 compel a reduction
In acreage. The Withholding of cred

Of forcing non-cooperating growers tc
