KEEP THE NEGRO IN IGNORANCE, URGES BLEASE Opposes Education of Colored Worker (Special to The Dally Worker) WASHINGTON—(FP)— June 21— Senator Cole Blease of South Caro- lina, former governor of that state, boasted his opposition to “so-called education,” while talking to the sen- ate in opposition to the Haugen farm relief bill. “One of the things that helped ruin the country and put the farming in- terest in the condition it is now,” said Blease, “is so-called education. When I was governor I was asked: in reference to signing a bill for com- pulsory education. I distinctly stated that if such a bill was passed I would veto it... .. “By means of what I term so-called education,” Blease proceeded, refer- ring evidently to the Negroes, “there has been destroyed the best farm la- bor that has ever been known in this country. The greatest mistake this country ever made was when the white people agreed to pay taxes to give them a free education. I am not their enemy. I believe in giving them what is due them, Teach them to read and write in order to protect them in their dealings. But when- ever you try to really educate them as a race you do them an injustice and your country no good.” Chilean Talks Up in Opposition to Monroe Doctrine WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21.— Chile’s ambassador, Senor Cruchaga, ig still busy «explaining that the speech of former President Alessandri of Chile was unofficial. Alessandri, in speaking of the out- come of the Tacna-Arica fiasco, stated as follows: “We have not met with justice or fairness. I devoted my greatest ef- forts to the service of Pan-American- ism and to bringing about closer rela- tions. I Jaunched that campaign be- cause I believed in the repeated ut- terdances of the American government to the effect that this country meas- ured all American states with the same unity of justice. “The form and the manner in which the proceedings for the fulfilment of the arbitral award rendered by the president of the United States have been conducted, show that these ac- tions did not keep faith with those statements. “The experience thus gained will move me to devote the energies I possess to preach before the Ameri- can world the postulate that, in oppo- sition to the Monroe Doctrine, we must stand and proclaim: all together and united, ‘Latin-America for Latin- Americans’,” Dinector Picks New Cabinet.

But they show how capitalism with its unequal distribution of wealth hits the legitimate consuming power of farmers, miners and factory workers. Two columns in the General Motors table are of special interest. One shows each state’s percentage of the total value produced by the country. The other shows each state’s propor-¢4————————_—_____—___—. tion of the country’s income. New York Leading Parasite State. New York, followed by California and Massachusetts, is the most para- Sitical state. It turns out 9.81 per cent of the country’s production, but receives 24.87 per cent of the country’s income. The three states together produce about one-sixth of the coun- try’s total, but receive more than one- third of the country’s income. Over half their income is drawn from states which give more than they receive. Outstanding among these exploited states are Iowa and the Dakotas, cen- ters of the farm revolt. The eight leading grain producing states to- gether prodice 15 per cent of the country’s production, but receive only 10 per cent of the country’s income. The table shows for significant groups’ the percentages of the coun- try’s production for which they are responsible and the percentage of the country’s income they receive: Parasite States Production Income New York 9.81% 24.87% California - 3.24 5.08 Massachusetts .. 3.94 5.00 Total ..... w16.99 34.95 Grain States Production Income Towa .. » 3.48% 1.99% Kansas 2.17 1.50 Minnesota 2.20 197 Nebraska 1.86 1.03 Wisconsin 3.11 2.34 South Dakota 88 48 North Dakota 79 43 Idaho ........ csenneseessopens 50 38 Total 14.99 10.12 Midwest Industrial. Other producing sections of the country show the same situation.

For the two leading nonunion coal producers the figures are West Vir- ginia 1.24 per cent of production and 1.08 per cent of income, Kentucky 1,60 per cent and 1.41 per cent. Only Rough Indication, All these producer states are turn- ing out a larger share of the good things of life than the capitalist sys- tem allows them to use in order that the few parasite states may consnme twice as much as they produce, These figures are only a rough indi. cation of the true situation, ‘There are millions of producers in the para- site states who produce more than they receive, A study isolating New York City. for comparison with Syra- cuse or a farm county in Towa would show much more clearly how the eco- nomic system is weighted in favor of the DETROIT FEDERATION OF LABOR ARRANGES PASSAIC RELIEF BALL (Special to The Daily Worker) DETROIT, Mich.

DRUSE LEADER'S APPEAL NAILS ~ FRENCH LIES Says Christians Killed by Imperialists (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, ‘June 22.:— Sultan Pasha Attrache, signing himself, “Leader of the Armies of the Syrian National Revdlution,” has made an appeal to the “American people,” which has been given wide publicity here. The statement sets forth clearly the aims t the Syrians in their struggle for national independence and denies categorically the propaganda of the French government that war is being made On christians as such.

Our revolt is the result ot | atrocities committed by French colo- | nizing agents who have violated the sacred rights of our country. “One among the evils our ene- mies have recently perpetrated in our country is that of distributing arms to christian Syrians to be used to fight us. As a result, some of our christ- ian brethren lost their heads and be- gan attacking our army which was following the enemy. Christians Killed by French. “We are innocent of the christian blood that has been shed, because we did not attack the christians, but they have been killed, figuratively speak- ing, bythe very arms they received from thé French government, and with ‘which they have killed their brethreh ‘who have risen to liberate the country in which we all live. Make No Creed Distinctions. “Therefore we pray you to take note and inform your countrymen and all those chiistians and others, who hear your great voice that their good is our good, their misfortunes our misfor- tunes. We make no distinction in re- ligions or sects, as our only aim is to obtain our legal rights, which belong equally to the sons of Syria, whatso- ever they may be. “We fave been, we still are, and shall bé careful to guard the rights and, secipity of all. We don’t wish to linterfere with ony one who does not expose, timself in opposition to our army fighting with our enemies, We wish to ayoid all acts that might touch tthe feelings of natives or foreigners iin Syria, with the exception of those who show us hostility or who become spies against us. “In closing, we hope and pray for the sympathy of the American people for our cause, begging that we may not be excluded from the assistance of the good men of America. “The Leader of the Armies of the Syrian National Revolution, Sul- tan Pasha, Attrache.” TRUSTIFICATION OF THE WOOL ° INDUSTRY URGED BY MAGNATE TO BOOST PROFITS, CUT WAGES (Special to The Dally Worker) NEW YORK, June 21.—Warning t that they are treading on thin ice is manuel Kaplan, long associated wit retail firm of Worth, incorporated.

Waste in Industry. Losses of a staggering character are brought about, he says, by lack of economy in various departments, in raw material purchasing, and in the actual manufacture of fabrics, Other sources of loss are unwarranted can- cellations of orders, and unjustified claims which are permitted to gothru, Mr. Kaplan asasils also the practice of excess production of certain fab- rics long after there is any actual de- mand for them, an overproduction stimulated by encouragement re ceived from selling agencies and reck- less assurances that the demand will continue, “His solution of overcoming the losses which he mentions is by con- solidation of say, about 30 of the largest’ independent carded woolen mills in the country. These mills would limit output by suspending production entirely in obsolete plants, the more efficient and eco- organizations sales work would be concentrated in a single highly effici- ent agency.
