O’Higgins met his death day while walking in the vic’ his home. | Among those who condemned the} execution of the man who was directly | responsible for the shooting of 77 Re-} publicans was Eamonn De Valer: a, | head of the Fianna Fail faction of ae Republicans.

The re-| cent elections caused the fear, no} doubt, that O’Higgins would be placed in charge of work similar to that done by our Attorney General in this country, and his power was feared. “This man, who is held responsible for the killing of fifty or ty young men who dared to defy his power, was held to be nothing less than a Nero and, no doubt, the feeling ran rife that Treland was in for a reign of terror. He was known as a, merci- less person; hundreds of persons have fled for their very lives, to this country because of the fear with which they held O’Higgins. I do-not think there will be any political ef- fect, but I do think that sheer fear caused this group to determine to kill him as the only means of safety.” BUY THE DAILY WORKER | AT THE NEWSSTANDS Poon nny | SONG OF THE | Red Army (Budenny’s March) Words and Music Paul Translation by bk.

Appoints Anna Borisovna Goldfarb to Be First Woman Censor MOSCOW, July 12.—-Anna Bor- isovna Goldfarb, age 28, has the honor of being the first woman censor in the Soviet Union, and in the world. Miss Goldfarb was ap- pointed on temporary duty during a month’s leave of the regular cen- sor, and began her duties on last Wednesday, assuming the full re- sponsibilities of the position. The U.S.S.R. once more takes first place in permitting its women to function in places of honor and responsibility on an equal footing with men, having set the prece- dent ih the appointment of the first woman,Ambassador, Mme. Kollontai, first accredited to Nor- way and then to Mexico. M'ss Goldfarb has been Press Secretary at the London Embassy for the past two years. She has also had five years training in the Soviet Foreign Office and three as personal secretary to Theodor Rothstein, Director of the Press Department. Hate Campaign of | ‘Daily Mail’ Booms LONDON, June 26 (By Mail). —The | campaign of Lord Rothermere and his| reactionary “Daily Mail” against the | sale of Soviet oil in. England, has) the sales shown no falling off, but, on the contrary, the Russian Oil Products| Company announces that the 31.3 mil-| lion gallons of Soviet oil imported for! |the six months ending April, 1926, has grown to 62.5 million gallons for the six months ending April, 1927. The “No Soviet Petrol Sold Here’ campaign has defeated its own end in} bringing the Soviet product to the, attention of thousands of new con-| mers. licity would cost tens of thousands of | pounds if we had to buy it,” said a} representative of the R. O. P. “With-| out doubt, a continuation of the ‘Daily! Mail’ campaign will cause the rate of | increase to be more than maintained | er in the future.” Fi Lord Bearstead, Chairman of the} Shell Transport Company, which has | retailed in the neighborhood of 500,000 tons of Soviet oil in Britain since 1921, at 2 shillings a gallon, now speaks of it as “stolen” oil. He is not the only oil profiteer who is discomfited by the fact’ that the Russian Oil Products Company has succeeded in bringing | retail prices down from 2s. a gallon to the present price of 1s. to 1s.%d. a gallon. Negroes ‘Herded Back Slave In Flood Region (Continued from Page One) , | the flood. When their land dries out, Hoover’s string of “credit corporation” agents will see that the farmers pay thru the nose for every cent they bor- row to rehabilitate their fortunes, and that is all there is to that. Certain southern senators have shouted for an extra session of Con- gress to donate money to the flooded regions, but even these have grown quieter lately—the farmers observe that many of them are now connected “eredit corporations” and become cynical over the prospects of Congress doing anything that will hurt business for the money lenders. Poor Suffer Most. The blow is heavy on the great plantation owners, but these at least can take a mortgage on their property and plant and rebuild. The blow is crushing to the tenant farmers, most of them Negroes, who have seen their crops wiped out, who have nothing to pledge for seed or farm stock, who find the planters chalking up their debt higher and higher, and sinking them deeper into the mire of peonage because of the disaster. Negros Suffer Most. These Negro tenants have a woeful tale to tell. When the flood came down upon them, they were saved last. The white landlords and their kind, the white business men of the towns in many cases saved their live stock before they saved the colored worker’s wife and child. In the refugee camps, the whites had whatever comforts there were. The plantation owners Negro tenants and sequestrated them, If any tried |to escape, they were pursued with all the powers of the law, and haled back | to their levee prisons, where many still abide, fretting, sick,. starving, hopeless, and forever unable to escape the pressure of the debts that the flood has added to, and which in the South, despite laws and constitutions, mean slavery for the Negro farmer.

With the help of the turbine-generator it is possible to convert a considerable part of the heat energy into elec- tricity. This will provide the Maritz qlectric-station with cheap energy (at 3 kopeks per kilowat—hour whereas its own energy costs 7.5 kopeks). This question has already been decided at headquarters and 1,550,000 rubles have been assigned to organize the combine. Moreover, through the organization of the electric combine it will be pos- sible to electrify 11,000 peasant farms. The Central Agrarian Bank has already granted 440,000 rubles for this purpose. S‘ower will be ob- tainable from the electric combine next autumn. Growth of Oil Production. At the end of the last half year 414 oil springs were exploited as com- pared with 400 at the beginning of the year; 1,429,303 tons of oil were produced in 6 montHs—103.9%% of the half year’s or 50.3% of the full year’s programme. 1,314,604 tons of oil have been refined—98.2% of the pro- gramme. In connection with boring operations 92% of the programme has been carried out as to area and 94.5% as’ to rapidity of operations. The year’s programme will be car- ried out to the full, The sale of Naphta-products is increasing; dur-|* ing the last half year 235,000 tons) were sold compared with 226,000 tons during the whole of the preceding year, - Work in connection with the con- struction of the Grozny-Tuapse oil circuit is in full swing. In the current year 9,856,000 rubles is being spent for its construction. An initial in- stalment of 6 million roubles has been assigned for the construction of oil works in Tuapse. Preparatory work has started on the Black Sea coast for the construction of an oil distill- ing battery, cracking plant, an elec- tric-station and a settlement with 150 dwellings. Oil By-Products.

The war- -mongers and munition manufacturers are thus unconsciously calling again to our memory the last blood bath of 1914. Our memories are still fresh to the days of the last World War. The twenty-two thousand dead, who lie buried in France and the thousands upon thousands of others who have been mutilated for life in the last world slaughter, are still in our minds. So keen is this memory, that the new Daily Worker Army of 1927 , has determined that never again will capitalism be permitted to launch another such bloody war. We have determined that instead of 22,000 headstones, we will build a stronger and bigger army of Daily Worker Readers, equipped with the necessary weapons of knowledge and fighting spirit, to successfully prevent another world catastrophe, Let the memory of those who died in the last devastating orgy, inspire us to build a new army that will crush the militarists and hasten the onward march of a Workers’ and Farmers’ Government, Forward to Five Thousand w Readers for the Daily Worker: Forward to the New Army against Capitalist Wars and for the Proletarian Revolution.
