The first shipmeant Of trees was

Now great areas laid waste bear trees
again.
Some stand in France, where whole
forests were blasted away by gunfire.
and others likewise were reported
growing sturdily in Belgium. In
Britain, where trees were cut down in
wholesale fashion for war needs, those
sent from the United States dot the

POLLUTION DRIVE
BEGUN BY CITIZENS
Piney Branch Association
Plans to Purify Waters
in Capital Area.

The Piney Branch Citizens Asso-
citation last night heard James F. Du-
hamel, member of the Federation OF
Citizens Association, describe the
federation's coming drive for purifica-
tion of natural streams in the Dis
trict as "a natural and fitting COM
plement to the concurrent campaigns
being conducted against trafhc haz-
ards, noise and trash-littered streets" :"
Subsequently. the association form
ally registered. its support Of both The
Stars Safety Campaign and the
water publication drive to be begun
by the federation. Stressing the i'm
portance of the pedestrian problem in
regard to the traffic campaign. As
eociation President G. L. Shorey
urged "a revival of the rights Of the
forgotten man-the man who walks. "
Among proposals offered in this
problem was the installation Of an
amber traffic light which would halt
all traffic, giving the pedestrian a
chance to cross streets without the
danger of cars making right and left
hand turns.
Citing, as deterrent factor, the
proximity of States providing legal
sale of liquor, the association reg
istered its disapproval of proposed
campaign by the united dry forces OF
the District of Columbia to return
prohibition to the District, implying
such an act would mean a "renais-
sance of bootlegging."
The association also sided with the
District of Columbia Automobile AS
sociation in opposing a drive to divert
Into other channels the money COL
lected in gasoline taxes.

is to establish collective farming. . . Both Objec-
tives appear TO have been obtained In fair meas
ure every one of the dozens of collective farm
ers have spoken to seemed genuinely optimistic"
So William Randolph Hearst stands before the
American proletariat, which he despses as deep
dyed and vicious liar, who will stop at nothing to
preserve the rule of his parasite class!
UEARST'S frantic discussions on the rule Of the
proletariat only proves that the question of the
working class overthrowng capitalism and setting
up Workers and Farmers Soviet Government in
America is becoming every day more vital ques-
ton.
The setting up of working class power is becom-
ing every day nearer the only way the ma ority
of the countrys population end the crisis which
condemns them to unemployment and misery and
which is hurting them to fascism and imperialst
war
So Mr.. Hearst, by his stupid, vicious and ridcu-
lous distortions not only fights the advance of the
working class revolutionary movement for the
smashing of the Wall Street profit system but. at
the same time, brings the whole question of abolish
ing the capitalist system and setting up the rule of
the proletarat before millions Of workers.

his activities became especially acute during the
murder of the Austrian workers in February
To back up the testimony of this shady char
acter, Hearst quotes Harold Denny of The New
York Times, on famine in the Soviet Union"
But how crooked is his quotingl How he omits
important sentences, how he deliberately twists
meanings to their exact opposite! For example
he quotes Denny saying that the terrorism"
against the peasants is of nature and intensity
probably never seen in the world"
But what did Denny actually say? He said
exactly the opposite He actually wrote in his
dispatch of July "a: The struggle which is pro-
ducing THIS YEARS SOCIALIST HARVEST IN
THE FACE OF AN EARLY DROUGHT is Of
nature and intensity, etc, etc. ="
So it is the Soviet Governments drive to over
the drought to provide for the welfare of the
people, that Is being conducted with an intensity
never before equalled in the world" not military
terrorism" against the peasants as lyingly insinu-
ated by Hearst!
Further Denny, IN THIS VERY SAME AR
TICLE makes Hearst into a record breaking liar bv
stating in black and white:
