MS opponents.
The outstanding record made by
Senator Kathan while member of the
legislative bodies of Montana is found
to have earned the deserved respect
and confidence of all of the working
people of the state. Not only do his
votes and work for labor and farm
measures carry conviction concerning
his understanding of the economic
problems of the labOrer and farmer,
but his militant stand on other legis-
lation proves his complete indepen-
dence and soundness of grasp of prob
lens affecting the state as whole,
and all of his record speaks of the
highest regard for fairness and prin-
ciple; of equity for all.
The Kathan-for Governor Clubs and
his supporters generally all over the
state express themselves as tremend
ously pleased with the progress of his
campaign. Attendance of Mr.. Kathan
at the annual meeting of the stock
holders of one of the successful CO.
operative business institutions which
he heads as president caused a tenn
porary break in the campaign he is
making personally, as does the meet
ing in Great Falls, this week, of the
board of the Farmers Union Grain
Terminal Association of st. Paul, of
which he is secretary treasurer How
ever, as the meeting last week was
we'll attended and the one at Great
Falls this week, brings managers and
directors of cooperative institutions
from all over the state, and all being
supporters of Mr.. Kathan, it gives him
an opportunity to visit with them and
plan future efforts with them

BLACK DIRECTS
MORE help
FOR C0-0PS

A. G. Black. governor of the Farm
Credit Administration, today urged the
presidents of the IL regional banks for
Co-operatives, in conference in Wash
ington, to be ready to take an active
part in helping farmers marketing CO.
operatives respond to whatever neces-
stiles may arise for handling agricul-
tural products expeditiously.
During times of emergency coop
erative organization played an import
ant part in the assembling, storage,
shipping and marketing of food-stuffs,
cotton and WOOL" Black said. 1.-THE
Banks for Co-operatives should imme-
diately intensity their study of ways
and means to be of most assistance in
these services. They should explore
all possible needs for additional stor-
age and shipping facilities and ways
and means of processing foods, with
emphasis on the newer
ways of handling food which have
developed during the past 20 years.
Nearly 1900 producer co-opera-
tives, with 100000 members, play
very important role in ordinary time
They market products valued az high
Is two and a half billion dollars
year. This machinery should be espe-
,ially well oiled during periods of
stress and the Banks for Co-opera-
ives are particularly well equipped to
ender assistance.
"At a time when the productive
capacity of Europe is being destroyed
md diverted from the satisfaction os
formal human wants, heavy demand
N raw materials will be an inevitable |
compartment to a program to speed |
ur national defenses. In making |
hese defenses more secure the farmer
nd the farm cooperative are bull
yarks of security"

is argued, will not be a problem;
Canada will be with us regardless of
what happens in Europe Mexico,
however, does present a problem.
In the country below the Rio
Grande, there are two forces now at
work that threaten to bring about
American Intervention. One is the
anti-American feeling being famed in
Mexico by nazi and fascist propagan-
da-a propaganda which has some
thing very substantial upon which to
feed. The other is the work of the
paid agents of certain American in
dustrialists, particularly the expropri-
ated American oil interests, to foment
revolution.
We talked last week with an Amer
lean professional man who had just
returned from a five-weeks' visit to
Mexico, and he was amazed at the
extent of anti-American propaganda
he encountered, especially from Next
can business people. Selfishness of
the American business man in deal
ing with Mexicans was stressed, and
almost invariably q preference to deal
with the Germans entered the con-
versation.
That there also is great existing
anti-American and growing fascist
feelings in some of the South Ameri-
can countries is no hidden secret, de-
spite all the sugar-coating phrases we
have heard about our relations with
our Southern neighbors Recent

Associated Farmers
Launch New Drive
Against Unions
BY MIRIAM ALLEN deFORD

by MIRIAM ALLEN Q6FORD
The Associated Famrers have seized
on fifth column agitation in an at
tempt to suppress unionization of agri.
cultural workers. They have an.
nounced "a total war against subver-
sive elements, in the most intensive
American drive ever directed at a
fifth column"
Behind pious deprecations of hyste-
ria and assurances of purely legal
methods" the real aim of the new
drive is obvious. The announcement
reads in part:
"Our strategies we naturally cannot
reveal, but within three days, in every
rural county in California, farmers,
quiet men doing their bit, will be at
work. We are not going to pull our
punches, but when we hit, we will be
sure. The traitors must be found and
driven out That will be the creed of
the California farmers.
"This statement is in the nature of
an appeal to the general publican
appeal for vigilance in every walk of
life for these traitors attempting to
undermine our American way or our
American defense plans.
"The Associated Farmers pioneered
in fighting subverslve activities, even
though accused of red-baiting. 1t can
not be accused of witch-hunting, be-
cause it's activities will be only
lawful, legal methods. For
years this organization has led the
fight to get public awakening to
the dangers of subversive people and
methods in our midst"
The Associated Farmers new drive
was decided on at secret meeting
in Los Angeles. The drive was put
In the hands of State Pres. John Wat
son, former Pres. Walter E. Garrison,
and Philip Bancroft. The anti-labor
and vigilante records of these three
men were fully documented at both
the Harry Bridges deportation hear
ing and the LaFollette committee
hearings in San Francisco and Los
Angeles.

hat Californians must look with sus-
oicion upon the announced intention
If the Associated Farmers to join the
light" the A. c. L. U. said. This is

ties and not for vigilantes."

the hOnOred guest and was introduced
by the master of ceremonies as the
next governor of the state of Mon
tana."
With Mr.. Kathan at its head, the
board of directors of this cooperative
enterprise has record of accomplish
ment, second to no other business in
the state. Since it's organization in
1916, including the more than $4,000
in patronage dividends it is now pay
ing out, it has paid back to its patron
stockholders more than a quarter of a
million dollars in cash dividends.
The board of directors announced
at the meeting that they were now
paying patronage dividends of four
and three quarters cents bushel on
the wheat marketed for its patrons
and 17S5 in dividends on purchases
made at regular market prices by the
patrons through the association.
The stockholders voted to increase
the capital stock of the association to
$4,000, it being pointed out that the
success of the cooperative made ex-
pansion mandatory. The expansion
had been cared for by throwing
portion of the earnings of the asso-
citation into a surplus. The author
lied increase in capital permits the
ALLEGATION of this surplus to stock,
which will show the true share Of the
ownership of the association which
each patron holds.
