belief the reception accorded the Con-

age more new corporate financing,
providing the bond market stabilizes
after its February and March decline.
Several large public utility fiota-
tions, postponed last year, have been
waiting favorable marketing condi-

Large-scale re-opening OF the mar

power companies planning expansion
to finance through the old Wall Street

FASCISM PERIL.
CROWS IN SOUTH.
VINSON CHARGES.
Asks Union of Farmer
And InduStriaIist

UNIVERSITY, Va, July II
U.N.S0.-Charging that a form
of fascism is growing steadily IN
the South, Edward M. Vinson, OF
Cordele, Ca. president of the In
ternational Relations Club, today
told the Institute of Public Affairs
that coordination of agriculture
and industry are Immediately
necessary to save American
democracy.
A voluntary industrial board, he
said. could work effectively with
an organization of all agriculture
in solving the problems OF pro-
duction, distribution.
FARMERS STEPPED ON"
Improving the conditions of the
country by regions, agricultural
and industrial, was not a Solu-
ton to present problems he de-
clared because farmers have been
stepped on for a long time and
have always gotten a raw deal
from industry"
He declared the amazing growth
Of the CLIO. in the South, along
with the Southern Tenant Farm
ers Union, was due to q type OF
fascism supported below the Ma
son-Dixon lines. He said:
"Southerns should realize that
they talk of democracy, they
really mean domination by the
upper strata which in reality is
akin to fascism. Nowhere has
non-voting been more marked
than in the white primaries OF
the democratic south.
; DANGER TO DEMOCRACY
| "The danger to American
democracy lies within the fact
that millions are disfranchiSed,
millions are underfed and poorly
clad and unemployed.
Vinson said that the 1881 ATS
farm tenant families in the south,
who earned on an average of ten
cents per person per day, created
q poor white population of 9,000,-
900 perSons-"the poorest people
living on the richest lands"
Human beings" he said, "are
one of the cheapest commodities
in the south"
He added that only through
unionism can the people of the
poorer classes get a voice in gov
eminent and seek corrective meas
.ures which will aid them-unless
agriculture and industry come to
an understanding.
