Current news dispatches carry the IN
formation that Earl BroWder, secretary
of the Communist party in America, in
his report to the international meeting
Of the Communist Comintern at Mos
COW advised that body, which is the eX-
ecutive branch Of the Third luternation-
ale, that Communists in the United
States We're planning more intensive
drive on the regular labor unions in or
der to secure control.
This statement is borne out by other
information from the Soviet capitol de
scribing recent efforts TO tie the reds
IN with a union" TO be organized and
controlled by the Communist element.
The fine Italian hand of Moscow can
be seen in the plan TO apply to the A +
OF L. for membership as a regular union
while control is to be kept in the hands
OF known reds
This Is but more evidence of the fact
thai BroWder knew what he was talking
about and that the United States and the
Pacific coast states in particular, can
expect more trouble from those to whom
our constitution means nothing.
Imperial county apparently after all
has not been purged Of all this treason
able element, but it appears that an
agency is now at work which not only
has the will but the way to do it.
Law enforcement officers and others
interested in combating the activities of
Communists in Imperial county are re-
ported TO have uncovered a scheme by
which an attempt is TO be made to place
nucleus Of reds in control of a large
group of field workers
The plan, as disclosed, provides for
the organization OF Field Workers
Union to start with twenty members,
about Is Of whom are to have Red
cards.
Each regular member IS to represent
four others who are to be classed as as
sociate' members, but whose names are
not TO appear on the membership rolls.
This original organization is TO apply
to the American Federation of Labor for
charter as a regular union, thus giving
il the standing Of genuine labor organ
ization
It IS planned eventually, before next
melon season, to extend the membership
to 500, which would make q group of
1000 under the control Of the cell"
Three residents Of El Centre and two
Of CaleXico, who have been active in labor
disputes in the past years, are assertedly

One Of the greatest peace-time
legislative measures ever enacted
by Congress to strengthen ma

s. to conference between the
House and Senate for the ironing
out Of conflicting amendments be-
fore it becomes law.
The measure was the war De-

viding nearly $400,000,0o0 for the
Army.
It would increase the peace
time strength Of the Army to the
unprecedented total of 10000
men. The existing strength Is
118,750, which places the United
States nineteenth in size among
the standing armies of the world
today.
The Senate made the increase
mandatory, whereas the House
bill left it discretionary with the
President. The Senate's action
represented a victory for Chief
of Staff Gen. Douglas Macarthur.

NeU Advisers
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
With two "boners" inside a
short time, it would be advis.
able for the President to ditch
his present advisers and substi-
tute people equipped with prac-
tical experience and horse
sense.
First they induce him to view
the So-called World Court
through the scheming eyes of
the European diplomats, and
after that met its just doom,
steer him into making another
"bull' in the recovery bill by
advocating starvation wages,
thus indorsing the policy of the
greedy money barons of the
past, who accumulated enor-
nous fortunes, to later expend
in public Libraries, works of art,
ETC., when they realized there
are no pockets in shrouds. The
excuses and explanations Of
fered by the supporters of these
measures are even sillier than
their action in supporting them.

I believe that Huey Long has

Why not place Senator Long
