That farmers from the north

mo HOPE OF BOLSHE-
VISM COLLAPSING"

VIENNA, Austria. (FSU)-In a lead
ing article in the Vienna "Reichspost," the
former Austrian minister of trade, DIR.
Heinrich Mataya, who is regarded as one
of the most prominent political leaders in
the Catholic world, writes as follows about
the Soviet Union: "All hopes and expect
ations of the collapse of the Russian ex-
pertinent are in vain The white troops
we're long since swept out of the country.
The policy of the Third Reich and the
Japanese danger has resulted in the Soviet
Union being received with pomp into the
League of Nations. In their own country
they have carried out an enormous agrar-
ian specialization by means of state and col
lective farms and, on the other hand, have
carried out gigantic industrialization and
mechanization."
This declaration is all the more note
worthy since it comes from a politician
Who for many years has been regarded as
tna spokesman of the Vatican in Contra
1s1cre, and whose antagonistic attitude
towards the Soviet Union has never beer
a secret.

GERMANY ADMITS AIR
FORCE READY FOR WAR

BERLIN, March 13.-Wilhelm Goering,
minister of aviation, revealed yesterday
what had been rumored all along, that the
fascist government had substantial air
force and was building more planes. He
announced that the German civilian "Air
Sport association had been placed under
direct orders of the German Reichswehr,
thus becoming part of the fascist army.
GOering'S admission is definite break
of the Versailles treaty, but none of the
former Allied Powers will care about that
since they have assurance that Hitler is
going to use this air force not against
them but against the Soviet Union-if the
workers let him.

FOOD PRICES DROP
IN SOVIET RUSSIA

MOSCOW, March 10. = An increased
consumption of the best white bread and
cakes and greater purchases of meat, fruit
and vegetables were indicated by a sum-
mary OF two months of the new system of
selling bread without cards, published here
today.
Because of the greater variety Of food
now consumed by the Soviet worker, the
amount of bread sold has gone down seven
or eight per cent and the more common
breads are being replaced by fancy prod
ucts made of higher quality flour. Prices
in general and the prices of agricultural
products in particular have gone down con-
siderably since the abolition of the old
bread card system.

When people are asking if it can
be possible that the Washington
"Brain Trust" is actually compos-
ed Of a bunch of incompetent nuts,
it is getting harder and harder
right along for President Roosevelt
to find words proving that what
we have is a Brain Trust and not
a Brainless Trust.
The most advertised of the
"brain-children" has been the
MIRA. From billboards, windows
and everywhere the NRA and its
screaming blue eagle have been
shouting at us about the prosper
ity that never came. We had it
served with our oatmeal and our
chewing gum-and now, after all
this ballyhoo, they are just about
ready to admit that the NRA has
been a flop, and they are ready
to throw the whole thing, with
eagle and all, on the scrap heap
And it seems they don't know
what to put in its place.
With the AAA it is just about
the same. There they have some.
thing on their hands that's M
good, and they simply don't know
what to do with it. In order t,
do something, this brain Trust
comes out the other day with an
other brain-foster; not so very big
but looks to be a child born en-
tirely without any brains.
In the daily papers you can rea'
the following under Washington
dateline of March 8:
"The federal government toda,
completed plans for sample migra
tion from the drought-blighte
