PARIS. Nov. ll.-French farmers.
oppressed BY the pitiful prices they
r getting for their products, are
organizing on a nation-wi scale,
much as American farmers organ
lied IN the Middle West a few years
ago.
Already farm riots have occurred
and forcible measures have been
taken TO prevent foreclosure sales
for taxes and bills.
Under the leadership of the re
doubtable Henri DorgereS. a nation
al organization called the Peasant
Front has been formed. and is al
ready powerful in the north and west
OF France.
Seek to Raise Misery Price
The big plank In the farmers
program is to raise the misery
price OF farm products and To lessen
the split between the payment they
get and the prices which middlemen
are getting for the same goods for
retail distribution. Under the threat
of a farm revolt, peasants r de-
handing a moratorium on agi-
cultural taxes and mortgages.

being framed.
Considered a Martyr
Dorgeres shares with the late
Huey Long the reputation Of being
the best rough-and-tumble stump
or microphone orator in his country
in current times. Remembering that
France Is primarily an agricultural
nation. its farm population being the
largest single unit in the land, his
power is great and growing.
Dorgeres now has the enormous
advantage OF being a martyr, in the
eyes of his followers. He was sen

Fascist Leanings Make Foes

Whatever his fundamental lean

ton and many followers among the
farmers, particularly in the north
and west Of France. Now his influ-
ence is seen extending southwark,
and he Is even reported as having
organized Algeria for the Peasant

The crowd roared back.
"Sit down and shut up"
But there were cheers for Mayor

FOES OF NEW DEAL
CHARGE DESTRUCTION
OF CIVIL SERVICE.

BY all odds the most scathing
criticism being made of the New
Deal at the present time is that
based upon its handling of the civil
service, william Bruckhart, Wash
ington expert, says in his column
appearing in the Miner today.
The amount of civil service work
ers employed. Bruckart states, is
only slightly more than half that
on the government pay roll exclusive
of military forces. In fact, Bruck-
art seems to believe that it is i'm
possible to get an accurate and Off
cial picture of just how many people
are being employed by Uncle Sam,
by what method, and in what cap
acity.
Whether you always agree with
Bruckart or not, you'll find his
