MIR. WRIGHT COMMENTS

TO the Editor:
Once again the tobacco grower is
asked to say, at the ballot box,
whether he wants crop control or
not. l venture to say there are none
who want too much tobacco grown
! to depreSS the price below a reason
able profit, but there are many who
do not want the kind Of control we
had which gave to some more than
was due them, while to others next
to none. 1t is generally believed, and
l think it true, that if the small grow
er had had the justice shown him
under former control we would have
had control right along and it would
have no doubt proven a benefit. |
think the samll grower acted with
much wisdom when he voted out
control in '38 and l hope he does the
! same this time if he is not properly
provided for. Yet it does seem the
tobacco growers are at this time in
jam and the only thing to do is
vote for control and then if justice
is not done to all start war with
the Congress and fight until the pro-
ducer gets his fair share of the fruits
of his labor.
If one fourth of the farmers were
members of an organization, as they
should be, their condition would not
be near so bad as it is now. Freedom
is much to be desired by all of us.
Restraint does fret any one, but we
know it must be had all along in life
if we are to gain worthwhile ends.
l believe the intense illogical love
the farmer has for his freedom is
and has ever been his greatest curse.
1t does seem by this time in our his
tory he would have learned from his
rich brother taht it is wise at times
to be controlled by organization to
achieve beneficial results There is.
l dare say, among the rich as much
diversity of opinions as is among the
producing class, but when they see
an opportunity to fleece the farmer
and worker they are unit. So it is
patent fact the producing class
must be likewise bound together if
they hope for any success in their
fight against organized greed.
Some farmers object to the gov
ernment interfering with their af-
fairs. In that they should learn from
organized wealth there is no ground
for their objections. The great for
tunes in this country were made with
government aid The rich class are
organized against those who produce
the wealth, and have controlled the
making of the laws SO that they have
the money all coming their way. For
proof Of that read this one little ex-
ample: The working class in this
country have to produce more than
one billion dollars each year to pay
the interest on the money the gov
ernment bOrroWs from the rich to
run the government That money is
made by the government and it could
use it without any interest, but the
laws fostered by organized greed
prevent it. So it can be easily seen
that the farmer and worker should
be more informed about his govern
ment and thereby be the better able
to see that it functions more than
ever in their favor than it ever has.
The few rich making the vast ma
jOrity serve them in this country is
just like the tail Wagging the dog.
If one third of the farmers would get
in an organization like the old Farm
er's Alliance we had fifty years ago
in a short time we would see a great

Two curley-headed young
sters, who live only because
living lets them fight, sent
a challenge to Santa Moni-
ca professionals Saturday
following their fifth successive twin
triumph in pro competition.

uation in his bout with KellS early
In the battle and plastered the
Los Angeles middleweight for four
rounds before the referee stepped

Bigboy ran into some trouble
in the first two rounds but rallied
in late rounds to deposit Leonard
on the canvas in the fifth stanza.
A count was unnecessary.
Opposition for the twins in San

according to Linn Platner, San

Armstrong Scores
Impressive Win
Over Davey Day

NEW YORK. April /. CUP -
Henry Armstrong, the little brown
buzzsaw from Los Angeles, still Is
welterweight champion of the world
today but he is nursing two pain
ful injuries he received in beating
Davey Day into a spongy mass IN
defense of his title.
The indestructible. invincible
Henry carried his left hand in a
cast and there were two stitches
in the corner of his left eye. Nei-
ther injury, however, was serious
enough TO cause him to pass up
a projected bout with Ernie Roder-
ick in London-a fight he figures
will earn him $4,000.
Armstrong injured the left hand
in the fifth round last night but
carried on TO stop Day in the 18th
at Madison Square Garden. X
rays of both hands were taken late
last night and early this morning
it developed Henry had suffered
a Clipped bone on the forefinger
of the left hand.
His manager, Eddie Mead, said:
Its nothing serious. He'll have
the hand in the cast for a week
and then We'll bake it every day
for another week and everything
will be okay He's hurt that hand
before. His right hand was just
sore from an old fracture"
The eye. Mead said, will be heal
ed by the time they sail tor London
on May T. The Roderick fight is
May %.
Henry the Hammer, shooting for
his 10000 in London, threw EN-
from all points OF the compass last
night and some of 'em were so far
two rounds because of foul blows.
Except for those two rounds, he led
all the way, swarming on top of his
man, slamming home lefts and
rights to the head and, finally,
dropping Day with a right to the
ribs that moved only about IA
inches. Davey went to his knees
on the canvas, his head rolled Graz
lily and Referee Billy Cavanaugh
looked up into Armstrong; blood
smeared face and said, that's all"
Say this for both brown man
and the white man-their hearts
were crammed with courage and
both of them kept whaling away
when nerves and muscle and brain
must have been crying at them to
quit. Armstrong, with pain shoot
ing all the way up his elbow, kept
throwing his left against Days
head. Davey's right eye was gone
buried under an angry, purple
swelling-but he whistled his right
uppercut through in a desperate at
tempt to connect from his blind
side. Most of the time he missed
by at least six inches and got
clubbing around the head in return
which softened him up for the
kill.
1t was Armstrong; victory, but
it was Daveys crowd. There were
l0,020 persons peering through the
smoke and it seemed that all OF
them were for Davey They booed
Armstrong when he hit low, and
they cheered every blow Day struck
