MUSSOLINI PRESS
ATTACKS JAPAN

The Italian press persists in it's
attack against Japan, repeating its
criticism of Japan for reporting
opposition to the Italo-Ethiopian
controversy-an attack which led
to the posting of guards about the
Japanese Embassy-also displayed
prominently an interview of II
Duce with a representative of the
newspaper L'Echo of Paris. Mus
solini was quoted in the interview
as asking whether the League of
Nations should become,
a tribunal before which Ne
groes, backward savage races of
the world, shall bring great ma
lions which have revolutionized
and transformed humanity"
The newspaper Popolo di Roma
said editorially:
"For those who pretend not
to understand the frank mes
sage in II Duce's discourse to
the troops at Salerno Tin which
Mussolini said there will be no
turning back) this message in
French should convince them.
This means England and Japan
alike"
Reports received in Rome that
the British cabinet has decided to
lift an arms embargo from Ehtio-
pia added fuel to the fire of Ital-
ian patriotism.

too cheaply," should be made to
pay more.
GLOW are we to proceed? The
right way is not to destroy the
profit system. If you strike, do not
do it on a false basis. Insist on tax
ing more from the public we'll as
from the profits. There is an il
legitimate marriage between fin
ance and industry, when industry
should be with its true wife-la-
bor."
In other words, Coughlin's pro-
gram means: "The workers united
front lies with the bosses against
themselves as consumers. If you're
going to try to get your wages
raised, see that the cost of the
car goes up-so that the consum-
ers, not the bosses suffer-
The A. l. w. A. is an outgrowth
of the elaborate setup invented by
the Auto Labor Board to smash
the legitimate trade unions in the
industry. It is attempting to form
a dual national organization based
upon the company union electoral
representatives" plan that the gov
eminent tried to set up and fizzled.
It's main strength lies in the Chry-
sler, Dodge, and DeSota plants.

United Action Urged by

These are the demands which the

minds of thousands of farmers of

At a meeting or the Farmers

Soon you may expect to see an

country. The government is being
forced into the real estate business
on an increasingly large scale by
defaulting borrowers from the
Home Owners Loan Corporation.
Up to July Is, it became known
today, the corporation has insti-
tuted 712 foreclosure proceedings
against home owners who, by de-

Such actions are being filed at
the rate of more than forty a week.
The total so far, however, is in

of HOLC loans outstanding-882,-

A Fierce Struggle

In the furore over other measu-
res, the quiet but fierce struggle
over the Frazier-Lemke bill has re-
ceived comparatively little atten-
ton. This bill is distinct from a
mortgage moratorium measure of
the same name which the Supreme
Court ruled unconstitutional. It
would buy up outstanding farm
mortgages and reissue them to
farmers in the form of 47-year a.
mortization loans. The payments
on these loans would be one and a
half per cent on the principal.
With the bill pigeon-holed by the
house rules committee, its hackers
have been struggling to get ZIG
signatures on a petition to force a
house vote on it. They succeeded
IN getting more than 200, but the
number has see-sawed back and
forth. 1t now stands at 200.

toned by Borah succeed in their

A definite answer had to wait,
for there was no immediate COM

declaration and his added predic-

Borah's statement was inter

10 Protect Farmers Crops
From Creditors Collectors

Grove, South Dakota on July 18th.
At a meeting of the State Exec
utive Committee of the United
Farmers League of South Dakota
last week the demands were adop-
ted as the basic issues around
which the League will organize
this summer and fall. Already the
League has announced that it's
members are planning to approach
locals of other organizations in or
der to effect a statewide united
front on these issues. They repor-
ted that great deal of interest is
being shown by the heavily indebt-
ed, small farmers of all farmers
organizations.
In face of the fact that the gov
eminent has ordered our crops con-
fiscated by the grain elevator men.
the Farmers National COMMITTEES
for Action considers that we have
no time to lose but must act AT
ONCE to protect ourselves against
such an attack. For that reason we
are calling upon all farm organiza-
tons such as the Farmers Union.
the Farmers Holiday Association,
the United Farmers League and
unorganized farmers to join US in
a wide united front movement for
the success of this campaign.
The Farmers National Commit
tee has sent personal letters to the
national and state officers of these
organizations asking for their en-
dorsement and that of their organi-
cations.

w dSHIngCOH - (fH) - EnCnu-
siastic about the outcome of the
Chicago conference which gave
birth to the American Common
wealth Political Federation, its
chairman, Rep. Thomas R. Amlie
prog, Wis., sees it as marking
a turning point in American politi-
cal history.
81 feel this is the beginning of
an indigenous radical movement in
the United States" he told Fed
Grated Press. "In 20 years of at
tending such conferences, l have
never seen such significant people
in attendance.
FROM VARIETY
OF ORGANIZATIONS
Classification of the list of $50
registered delegates at the con-
ference reveals wide representation
from farmer, labor, third party,
unemployed and democratic
groups, Amlie declares. 1t was not
intended in any sense to be a con-
ventiOn, he points out, consequent
ly delegates in most cases did not
come as official representatives of
their organizations. But they were
representative of the general SEN
timent in the organizations from
which they came, he insists. and
were in most cases officers of
those bodies.
FARMER-LABOR
ELEMENTS NUMEROUS
The largest elements at the con-
ference, according to Amlie, were
those adhering to the Farmer-Lab-
or Political Federation and the
League for Independent Political
Action. In this group he included
large delegations from the Farm
er-Labor party of Minnesota and
the Progressive party of Wiscon-
sin, with state officials present
from both. The Minnesota Farm
er-Labor Assn. had an official del
egate.
The next largest group Amlie
classed as democratic, including
such bodies as the Continental
Committee of Techocracy, the
Commonwealth builders of Wash
lngton and organizations in Utah,
Wisconsin, California, and New
York. Socialists were also present
in large numbers.
HOLIDAY ASSO-
CITATION THERE
Officials of the Farmers Holt
day Assn. were present from Mimi
esota, Iowa, New Mexico. and Nor
tn Dakota. There were also Farm
ers' Union, Grange and other farm
representatives. Large unemployed
organizations were represented.
and many delegates were present
from trade unions, according to
Amlie.
The coference orevrode some of
Amlie's proposals, but he finds en-
enlargement in that very fact.
THE middle western delegates
were so eager for a new party, the
demand was so great, that any at
tempt to stop at a mere federation
would have driven them away and
they would have looked elsewhere
for leadership" he said.
DEMOCRATIC
IDEA STRESSED
Amie sees grounds for believing
that a new and distinctive radical
movement is under way in the con-
ferece's negative response to some
OF his arguments for adopting the
name Farmer-Labor. "That there
is native American radical move
ment under way has shown itself
very forcibly in California and
Washington" he said. "The same
