Owners Seeking A. A. A.
Benefits Must Show Pur-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. February 28.-Re-
tired farmers are among the leaders
in a back-to-the-lan movement in
the Middle West this season.
Many tenant farmers are being dis
placed by owners who have decided
to quit town homes and go back to
active life in the country.
And many young men eager for a
start on their own are among the
land seekers.
Continued unemployment in cities
and higher living costs-coupled with
restoration of agriculture to more
profitable basis through recent sharp
commodity price increases-have con-
tributed to the demand for farms,
which is greater than the supply in
some regions.
Auctioneer Is Active.
The cry of How much am I Of
fered?" is ringing through the farm
belt.
It Is the annual exhortation OF the
auctioneer as he cries the sale OF a
tenant farmer who is changing his
scene of operation at the expiration
Of his lease.
The contention of some tenants that
the motive of retired owners in taking
over the land is to collect A. A. A.
benefit payments in full. instead OF
sharing with their tenants, Is dis
counted by James w. Burch, produc-
ton control supervisor for the A. A. A.
in Missouri.
THE landlord, taking over his acre
age. cannot receive hog payments
under any circumstance If he is just
beginning production under the A. A.
A. contract for the first time" Burch
said. The landlord would be able
to receive corn benefit payments. how
ever, since the 1882 and 1888 corn
base remains in force, regardless OF
who farmed the land in those years.
Purpose Must Be Shown.
Retired farmers who want to break
their tenants leases and resume farm
operations under A. A. A. contracts
themselves, must show the county A.
A. A. Allotment Committees their pur-
pose is to make a living. not simply to
eliminate the tenants share OF the A.
A. A. benefits" said Burch.
Young men who want to begin as
new producers must find farmers who
are going out of production in order
to take over the A. A. A. contracted
lands, Burch pointed out.

Communists Assaulted
by Fascist Bands in
Malstatt Area

SAARBRUECKEN, Dec. 31.-With
only 2 weeks remaining before the
momentous Saar Plebiscite, the Nazi
agents of German fascism are now
boldly stepping out into an open
terroristic campaign and desperately
utilizing every means of intimida-
ton to stem the rising tide of anti
fascist feeling.
At Malstatt, a suburb of this city,
at Blieskastel, and in other towns
the Nazis are invading workers
meetings, using firearms, wounding
many and deliberately provoking
disorder. hoping that the Saar Gov
erning Commission will halt all as
semblages and thus hamper the
growing strength of the anti-fas-
cist struggle.
Reporting on the fascists' attack
in Blieskastel, League Of Nations
plebiscite inspector openly declared
that the Nazis we're the direct in
stigators of the riot and emphasized
that the Nazi leader in that section
was in the hall to initiate the raid,
which began with the firing of a
gun. The internationa. police were
called to prevent further aggression,
but the assailsnts, after severely in

by the fascists is particularly aimed
as an attempt to induce the govern

In his letter, Roosevelt said
What to me is very important

The veterans should now think of

they would have to depend on the

D equity Sheriffs and
Police Join in Attack
At Wilkes-Barre

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Dec. 81
Thirty State Troopers, many deputy
sheriffs and local police attacked
a mass picket line of several hun
dred striking miners at the Lance
colliery at Plymouth, near here,
using tear gas to disperse the strik-
ing anthracite miners.
Police beat pickets with riot clubs.
The strikers defended themselves
with stones, but were finally scat
tered. One striker was arrested.
Leaders of the United Anthracite
Miners Union, which called the
strike of $4,000 miners in the Glen
Alden Galleries last week, stated
that all of the Glen Alden mines
are closed down in the anthracite
region with the exception of two.

Forgetting that the government

Roosevelt synically told the vets
that the two billions required to

in spite Of the terrorist fascist re-

PROFITS RISE
7O% IN YEAR
ExplOiters Plundering
Masses at Faster Rate
Under n. r. A.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Th e
flood of profits that rolled into cor
poration treasures for the first nine
months of the year rose 10 per
cent higher than the profits for the
same period last year, the Federal
Reserve Board revealed yesterday
in report on current business con-
ditions. That these increased prof
its come through increased exploita-
ton of the workers is shown by the
fact that, at the same time, the cost
of vital necessities for the masses
rose sharply, the cost of food, for
example, now being 81 per cent
higher than last April.
Attempting to gloss over the enor-
nous plundering Of the masses that
has been going on as a result of
the Roosevelt N. r. A. price-raising
program, the report stated that
there was a 20-25 per cent rise in
payrolls. Even if this were so, the
rise in the costs of necessities would
have erased completely this alleged
increase.
Actually, however, the alleged
wage increases refer only to the
spreading of the total wage expen-
ditures of the employers over
larger number of workers, the net
result being drastic slash in the
real wages of all workers during the
past year.
Despite the large increase in cor
poration profits, which have been
reflected in dividends and interest
payments that will total over six
billion by the end of the year, the
Federal reserve report indicates the
failure of the Roosevelt program to
solve the crisis in production. Fac
tory employment, as we'll as indus
trial output were found to be about
the same as a year ago. the re-
port stated.
The report also indicated that the
big landlords and plantation owners
had received $300,000.000 in direct
su bsidies from the Roosevelt
government as reward for their de-
struction of farm goods and acreage.
The resulting increases in the prices
OIL farm goods were borne by the
masses, who had to pay more for
goods during the year.
