Italian Monarchy Doomed

We never had any doubt about
the outcome of the June End ref
erendum h i C h would decide
whether Italy would retain the
much discredited Monarch of the
House of Savoy or prefer a Re-
publican form of government. We
did know that the combined votes
of the Socialist Party and the
other parties of the left would suf-
flee to overcome the votes of the
remnants of Fascism, the neo-
fascist movement "L'Uomo Quail
unique" of Guglielmo Giannini, the
fossils of the So-called Liberal
Party of Italy and all the reaction
airy and clerical elements, but now
that even the Catholic "Christian
Democratic Party has by an over
! whelming maority come out
against the Monarchy at its last
convention, the writing on the wall
for King Victor Emmanuel and
his would be heirs is clear.
In this connection, the Boston

India.
That prediction is receiving
grim confirmation today.
1t is time that public opinion
should awaken from the illusions
spread about the "gift of freedom
to India" and recognize the real,
grave situation developing in In
dia.
A RECENT Daily Herald edi-
torial on October II declared:
I'm India today one of the
greatest advances in human his
tory is taking place. Britain,
which today yields power over
400,000,000 souls, is transferring
control voluntarily and peacefully
to an Indian democracy"
Nehru is now vice president of
the Viceroy's Council. Congress
and league have nominated their
representatives on the council.
Does this mean India is now gov
erned by an Indian government?
Far from it.
Democratic opinion will follow
with sympathetic attention and
support every effort that Nehru
and his colleagues may make in
the interests of India.
WE WELCOME the moves to
establish diplomatic relations
with the new demOcracies in Eu-
rope and with the Soviet Union.
We welcome the eloquent pro-
gressive aspirations in Nehru's

carried out.

sions as to the real position.

LONDON-The crisis in India
is rising.
The cabinet mission negotia-
tons and the new constitutional
plan have not solved the Indian
problem. The terrible communal
conflicts and bloodshed-on
scale exceeding anything yet
known, even in the continuously
ascending scale of such conflicts
under British rule-are only
symptom of this general crisis
of widespread Illustration and
desperation.
1t is significant that they have
developed most horribly in UNI

dairy products can be brought
down, as can all prices, by we'll
organized, united effort on the
part of the labor movement TO-
gether with the consumers.
THE Milk Trust in Chicago has
held a stranglehold on the mar
ket, and has been successful in
wiping out all competition of
smaller diaries. Those few which
are left have been forced to JON
the Milk Dealers Association
which is controlled by the big
companies, namely Bowman, Bor-
den and Wanzer.
If one or two of the smaller
diaries had refused to raise the
price, people would have reward
ed them with their patronage.
This was done in Detroit, where
the smaller diaries did dare to
challenge the Milk Trust.
Certainly the farmers who are
the main cogs in the milk indus
try will not benefit by the raising
of prices. In the first place the
few pennies more per hundred
weight that the farmer gets is all
out of proportion to the tremen-
dous increase being garnered by
the big companies.
NOW the outlook for the farm
ers is not good. There is a rap
idly developing surplus of milk.
This has happened because of the
,curtailment of lend lease, deno5-
ilization of the armed forces, in
crease in dairy cows, plus the
fact that people just cannot af-
ford to pay the higher prices, and
are buying only what is absolute
ly necessary.

Then came the cabinet mission.
The cabinet mission pursued
the well-tried tactics of divide

THEY prepared a complicated
constitutional plan, which re-
fused universal suffrage, and, on

WHEN mass unrest IS rising,
reaction has always known how
to play on divisions and seek to
divert the mass struggle into
channels of mutual destruction.
We have seen if in Ireland of
old. We cdn see it in Palestine
today, where Arabs and Jews
lived peacefully together until
British rule came.
The resolution is not foreign
rule but freedom.
Remember that only a few
months ago all India was united

ton existed, and the price
dropped. 1t only proves once
again that the Flaw of supply
and demand" does not work
when you have monopolies con-
trolling whole industries. We
have a developing surplus, yet
the highest prices in history. The
milk trusts are not planning on
lowering the prices, but IN rails
ing them even higher, to acculn-
ulate super-profits before the
crisis sets in.
The farmers can be won over
to the struggle of the labor move
ment and the consumers against
the trusts. The farmers have an
ally in the workers in the cities.
This joint struggle is the only
way out of a general crisis that
is approaching in our country.
In Chicago, the thousands of
workers employed in the milk in
dustry which includes the inside
dairy workers, and the milk wa
gon drivers, are not standing IDLY
by. Both categories are organized
union men, members of the ALL
Transfers, and they are faced
with many grievances in their

PLAN FOR
FARM HOMES

Circular 282, published by Clemson
Agricultural College, offers plans and
suggestions that will assist farmers
in obtaining home that will give
the greatest amount of comfort and
satisfaction for the money spent.
Some of the plans in this Circular
will be useful in the construction Of
low cost houses for tenants or for
temporary use, while others are de-
signed for the growing family. Once
plan has been decided upon, the
working drawings are available and
will be ordered by the county agent.
Anyone desiring a copy of Circular
282 or any additional information on
farm homes or buildings contact the
County Agents office and we will
be glad to assist you.

Artillery Magic
Made Possible
By New Radar

Many miles out to sea, far be-
yond the horizon, a small target
floats upon the waves. A shell comes
hurting from the sky and demolishes
the target. Where did it come from?
What is the reason for its deadly &C
curacy?
To answer these questions let us
look at Fort Monroe, Va, where the
Army for 1872 years has maintained
the Coast Artillery School.
The school started back in 1924
when The gunners began training by
firing small cannons loaded with
cannisters of grape and solid shot
at wooden frigates in mock battle.
In those days the gunner aimed his
weapon by eye and then trusted to
luck that his missile would hit the
objective.
But today things are different.
Today in a gun crew men are being
trained to operate radar, gun compu-
tation, communications, power plant
and maintenance. Then there are
forty two more men who are es-
sential to dropping the shell on the

Object Thirty five of these men
are called cannoneers; the other sew
en- are listed as gun commander,
communications corporal, chief OF
breech, gun pointer. elevation setter
and telephone operator. The entire
gun crew is coordinated by the crews
chief of section.
The mechanics of destroying the
target are complicated. First the
target is spotted upon radar scopes.
Then the location is fed into COM
puter which plots the course of the
target so that the shell will not be
fired at the popit where the target
''is", but at the point where the tar
get twill be" when the shell reaches
there. After this computation, al
loWance is made for wind and other
factors are brought into play. Final
ly the gun crew fires the weapon
automatically and the missile Is
plotted by radar and any corrections
necessary are noted so that any SUBJ
sequent firing will be accurate.
And so, by Artillery Magic, the
target that cannot even be seen by
the naked eye is fired upon and de-
stroyed.

HOG SOWN CORN

When fields are fenced, corn
should be hogged down to save labor.
Experiment stations have found that
just as much or more pork can be
produced where corn is hogged down
as is produced where an equal
amount is harvested and fed to the
hogs. This practice also enriched
the soil since three-fourths of the
fertilizer materials in the feed will
be returned to the land when fed.
The hogs should be fed in addition
to the corn about one-half pound u
day of a protein mixture of equal
parts CT tonnage or fish meal and
soybean or cottonseed meal. Plenty
of fresh water and shade should also
be provided.
