BY it's actions Monday the supreme
court rather indicated that it would
make no attempt to recover" for pro-
cessors under the AAA the 81 300
100000 actually paid to the govern
ment.
1t did order that the 100000, 900
now in escrow be paid to the process
sors. This money Is at hand while
the $1,200,0OO.000 has gone. undoubt-
edly passed off to the consumers in
the form Of higher prices.
Nor did the court act on the Bank
head cotton control law except 20
throw out an attempted test.
There is still upwards of $500 900 :
900 to be paid producers for not pro-
ducing which congress is said to re-
gard as a moral obligation. This sum
will have to be found. if this view pre-
walls. The addition of $1,000, OO0, 900
more would demOralize the govern
ment.
Apparently the court feels that 1t
has done damage enough for the time
being. Many Americans will agree

OPPOSES WAR AND FASCISM
CHARLES d. EGLEY

Writing in Farmers National Weekly
Against War and Fascism.
AS manager of the Farmers Union
Live Stock Commission Company,
am glad to take this opportunity of
declaring my stand and that of my or
ganization on the subject of war and
fasciSm.
Since Fascism is the last desperate
attempt to save capitalism, it has
been demonstrated both in Germany
and Italy that one of Fascism's first
points of attack is cOoperatives whose
aim 1t is to abolish the profit system.
: The Farmers Union Live Stock Com
mission of South st. Paul, is
supported by what we call an educa-
tional organization, known as the
Farmers Educational & Cooperative
Union of America, Montana, North
Dakota and Wisconsin Divisions, and
the Minnesota Farmers Union. all of
believe, passed resolutions at their
state conventions held this fall,
against war and fascism.
The president of our board of direc-
tors is Senator c. w. Fine, Sheyenne,
North Dakota, who was selected by
the North Dakota division of the
Farmers Educational and Cooperative
Union of America as one of the three
delegates to go to Cleveland.
All of those who believe in the
cooperative commonwealth and in the
establishment of a new social order
which will bring about peace on
earth, good will toward men," must
unite to combat Fascism, the most
vicious and brutal opponent of such
New Social Order. Such organiza-
lions that have an educational pro-
gram should, be given as much sup
port as possible for peace education.
l hope that all organizations or
delegates of such will see fit to work
in unison, as that is the only way in
which we can gain results for our eff
forts.

MAN MADE THIS DEPRESSION
(The Country Press)

1t is generally admitted that this is
Man Made Depression. Yes, and it
was made by only few selfish indi
viduals who have been endowed with
special privilege laws. The few men
who made this depression are not
going to lift hand toward relieving
The people from it. They will do all
in their power through false propa-
ganda and cunning political maneuv-
ers to mislead the people and pro-
long the agony as long as they can
because that is to their own selfish
interests. The special privilege in
terests have absolute control over
both of the old political parties. The
only way in which times will ever be
restored to normally for the common
mass of people, will be through the
formation of a new National Third
Party. 1t has been proven time and
again that it cannot otherwise be
done.

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS
(The Minneapolis Tribune)

1t was inevitable that the admin
STATIONS proposal that the United
States abandon the policy of protect
ing American merchant ships on the
high seas in time of foreign wars
would meet with opposition in the
Senate. Not only is the policy which
would be substituted for our tradi-
tional insistence on the freedom of
the seas inconsistent, but it is doubt
full whether it could be made to work
in the interests of peace. Under the
new neutrality legislation now being
debated. the government would per-
nit American shippers to carry on
normal trade in commodities which
are not munitions in time of war.
Yet while the government grants
these shippers the right to this trade,
it also says it will do nothing to pro-
tect that right.
In adopting this attitude, the gov
eminent must be assuming either one
of two things. 1t must be assuming
that normal peace time trade can
be carried on in a time of war with
out substantial difficulty, or that it
is no longer the duty of a government
to do anything on behalf of it's ma
tionals when they encounter inter-
ference in performing services which
their government, by inference, recog-
nizes that they have a right to per-
form. If the authors of the new neu-
trality legislation are acting under
the latter assumption, they are pro-
posing change in national policy
that is of far-reaching Importance.
If the government is going to aban-
don the policy of extending any sort
of protection to it's nationals in a time
of war. it becomes increasingly diff
cult to reconcile this policy with
other phases of our foreign policy
Why, if this is to be the attitude
of the government in the future, is ii
necessary to maintain big navy?
Has big navy any other value to
the United States than furnishing a
means whereby it can protect its ship
ping in time of war? If the govern
ment is to abandon it's policy of pro-
tecting its shipping. why does the
United States need big navy? Yet
the same administration that favors
this change in our foreign policy is
also demanding a still bigger navy
than the one we now have. The fun
damental inconsistency which this
dual policy represents is all too char
acteristic of the muddled thinking
that is formulating our future for
eign policies.

WANTS NEITHER FASCISM NOR
COMMUNISM

Editor ASkOv American:
1t is noticeable that the writer's in
the American" who sing the loud
praises of Communism seem to shy for
it's running mate Fascism. 1t is rails
ing cry over an insignificant issue
in order to put over a gullible people
a more dangerous propaganda, namely
Communism.
Leaving out the fancy definitions of
each system, we only need to notice
what both systems have accomplished
in the countries where they are estab-
lished. Who will have the temerity
to say that Fascist Italy or Germany
is in any way worse to live in than
communistic Russia. The comparison
is in favor of Fascism. Communism
is supposed to be the rule of the prOle-
tariat Tor the common people), Fas-
cism the opposite. Yet they are alike
in being ruled by dictatOrs. The
Italian dictator thinks enough of his
subjects to at least refrain from kill
ing them off by the thousands. Hitler
saw the Fatherland groaning under
the oppression of lot of apostolic
Jews (who had worked themselves in
to key positions) and is prying them
loose from it.
Stain and his "a secretaries over
so many provinces, on the other hand.
does not stop at anything. Life, lib
erty and hapr mess are ruthlessly taken
away from his people. CCnscript
work. espionage system and general
misery are their lot and we find that
Al of the 54 governors as secretaries
any feelings for human misery.
All three of the above mentioned
rulers have come up from obscurity
Mussolini, son of blacksmith, Hit
Ter, corporal, and Stain, an ex-rob-
ber,-no, not "ex"-he is still at the
game of robbing his subjects of all
that is dear to liberty and peace low
ing people Surely those living in our
country who can advocate similar
system here must have terrible
brain disease u e
One other thing that Is surprising
Is Will WHdI SllD tongues THESE COu-
munists speak concerning religion.
Let it be understood that religion
may mean anything. Confucianism,
Hinduism, Buddhism, Spiritualism or
what not is classified as religion"
Satan himself has plenty of it, as we
know from reading Gods Word or the
Bible. The real bonafide religion is
tc believe in God and His word as the
supreme authority, and order the con-
duct of life thereby 1t is, to say the
least, nauseating to hear advocates
of Communism speak of religion; be-
cause they have not anything of it.
If murder, rape and treason and all
the rest that make up the category of
human depravity are religion, then
they have it.. If the damnable doe
trine of Communism must be pro-
claimed, lay off to be religious"

FINANCIAL AID

BERKELEY. Calf, May s - More
than $4,000 low-income farm fami
lies, or approximately $4,000 indi-
vidualS, in region nine have received
financial aid through the rural re-
Mobilization division of the ResettIe-
ment Administration, according to

was necessary while loan applica-
tions were pending.
Families receiving aid were on re.
lief rolls or were not able to earn a
livelihood from their land for lack
of stock or equipment, and could
not obtain financial aid elsewhere.
Many of these families are now
self-Sustaining and the money they
borrowed is being returned to the
government.

inents total SO $4,000 divided as
follows: California. $1.538,000; Utah,
$1425,000; Nevada, s215,00O; Ari-
zona, S350,000.
Mr.. Garst pointed out that the
rehabilitation of these low-income
rura. f, niles not only is enabling
them to earn their own livelihood
from their land, but also has reduc-
ed the relief burden ara stimulated
