ee DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, DECEM BER 26, 1932 Page Three — By ROBERT HAMILTON DE VALERA AND COSGRAVE. Last Wednesday William Butler Yegts, famous Irish poet and Nobel | Prize winner, lectured on Ireland in| the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Re- | flying to a question from the floor | he admitted that “there is no real difference between the policies of De Valera and Cosgrave.” This tes~ “timony of Yeats, who is a senator of Treland, is yaluable because Fianna ail supporters of De Valera, with their loud shouts against the “trai- tor Gosgrave,” former Conservative Prime Minister of the Irish Free State, are trying to hoodwink the Trish into believing that there is an | essential difference between De Va- | Jera, the pretended revolutionary, and | Cosgrave, Britain’s henchman. SOCIALISTS DISPOSSESS | TENANT. HAMBURG, Novy. 29 (By Mail) — ‘The Altona Building and Lean As- sociation obtained a court order to dispossess a proletarian tenant in their buildings in Bahrenfeld. More than 30 policemen drove away sympathizing tenants from the door. Six mounted police galloped up and down the street, while a police armour car patrolled the neighborhood. The sheriff's men, ordered to dispossess the tenant, refused to carry out the furniture. But some- body was ready to do the work. The chairman of the Building and Loan Association ordered his So- clalist Party comrades to evict the | tenant, which they did. The whole | district is up in arms at this act. | Socialists doing the dirty work | that even the paid sheriff’s crew refused to perform. Need anything more be said about the true na- | ture of this party, which claims “to represent the interests of the working class?” SOCIALISTS IN CONVENTION IN BERLIN. BERLIN, Nov. 29 (By Mail).—A special convention of the Berlin or- ganization of the German Social Democratic Party was held yester- day, Despite the efforts of Breit- Scheid and Kuenstler, the Social- ist leaders, to justify the Socialist policy of betrayal in navy appro- priations, in the Berlin traffic strike, and in tolerating the Bruen- ing and Von Papen governments, rank and file delegates attacked the party’s leaders bitterly. The term social-fascist is beau- tifully illustrated—Socialist leaders as paving the way for fascism—in Breitscheid’s statement that “the German S. P. would welcome Hit- ler's being given the government, in order to demonstrate his help- lessness.” Some comments of rank and file delegates in the debate were very ° illuminating: Lahn of Neukoelin: “The masses can be misled for a time, but they can’t be bribed. They demand So- cialist policies in everyday de- “mands, and they vote for the party _ that puts them into practice.” Emil Barth: There can be no talk of democracy during the 14 years since the Revolution. Our eoalition and toleration policy has been a 100 per cent failure. When we did have power, we didn’t so- cialize. Now, when we have no power at all, we talk of socializa- tion.” ‘Hannemann and Loewenstein: A few party comrades who thought that we could grow into control of the government through demo- ératic bourgeois fnstitutions have nm very unpleasantly brought to their senses.” ‘These manifestations of rank and file revolt within the German So- Party are occasioned by the growing crisis in Germany and by the success of Communist efforts to effectively lead the working class in struggle against starvation and unemployment. Are Norman Thomas and Hillquit any different trom Breitscheid and Kuenstler? fa Ea SOVIET SCIENTIST TRANSFUSE: BLOOD FROM DEAD TO LIVING PARIS (By Mail)—Professor Ju- din of Moscow was invited to lecture before the Paris Surgicial Society on brad recent scientific work in medi- cine. After preliminary experiments on dogs, Professor Judin has effected blood transfussion from a corpse to a diving human patient. His first experiment dealt with an adult. who had’ tried to commit sui- \ cide by cutting the blood vessels in ™ the bend of his elbow. He injected 400 grams of heated blood serum taken from the body of a patient who had died of heart failure a few hours before. The transfusion was success- ful and the patient recovered com- pletely.

This letter in- spired me with the desire to write about my life. My daughter writes to you under my dictation. My life before the revolution was very hard. We lived in a village; we had no land and my husband had to go to work to the city which was 6 versts from the village. In the sum- mer I worked in the rye-field for the landlord. As I had no where to leave my little ones, I had to take them along with me to work. For almost 3 acres of reaped rye, for a week of hard labor, the landowner paid $1.25. Much misfortune, abuse and pri- vation was the lot of my family which consisted of eight children, my husband and myself. I was an il- literate, downtrodden women, but I tried to give my children an educa- tion, To let the children study we had to pay. We also had to buy books, but the money we earned was barely enough for our existence. It was very hard to keep up a big family. I often compare my life then,- and mow, and I feel so sorry that my husband died in 1919 and had no chance to see the great change in our life. Under the Soviet. Government my children began to study free of charge. My older chil- dren are all working. One of my daughters is a teacher, one son is an engineer, the other holds a respon- sible position in a cooperative or- ganization. The rest of my children also do good work. One daughter is with me. She will soon graduate public school. Nearly al my children are Comunists. In 1929 my sons, who live in Moscow, called me to live with them and since then I live in Dubrovki. I myself changed greatly; stopped going to church. I am interested very much in social work, attend meetings. I am a member of the medical section of the District Soviet The leadership of the Farmers’ | Holiday Ass'n and of the Farmers’ Union, as well as the capitalist poli- ticians are afraid of the attitude of the delegations and are making great efforts (and ridiculous) to continue their regime of starvation and rob- bery. The latest move is to call a meet~ ing of the holiday association in Des Moines under the leadership of Milo Reno to “fight” foreclosures and evictions, through capitalist kangaroo courts. But such tactics do not surprise many who have been watching this leadership. During the farm strike they made every effort to get capi- talist politicians on the speakers’ stand. A typical example was in Cedar county when sheriff Dallman spoke. He failed to pacify the strik- ers and resorted to a plot that caused the pickets at Yankton bridge to abandon their posts. But they re- turned to their post after they dis- covered that the sheriff had tricked them into believing that the strike had been abandoned) elsewhere. ‘That Reno intends to make judges, sheriffs, etc. members of the associa- tion is seen in his words on Dee. 15, 1932, viz: “Each county is to have a central organization with a key man in each township. The county will also have what is termed a council of defense composed of five persons, not all of them necessarily farmers. This council acts after investigating each case.” ‘s The council is to deal with cases between the tenants and bankers who hold the mortgages. Interested parties are to be brought together for a conference to settle their dif- ferences. Reno made it plain “that those who can afford to pay (their interest, debts, etc—-Ed) are expect- ed to pay at once.” The farmers can learn much from the workers in steel, coal, lumber and other industries in their past and present struggles on how the capital- ists and bankers carry o n their cam- paign of starvation and brutality against the workers. The workers’ enemies are the farmers’ enemies. A Worker. UTILIZED ELECTION MATERIAL Ironton, Ohio. Editor, the Daily Worker, Dear Comrade: Sometime past I wrote and asked you to furnish some election cam- paign material. The material ar- rived in due time and was given as much publicity as was possible. I am of the opinion that the ma- terial furnished has created a favorable impression among the workers here. Comradely, —J. Cc. and a delegate of the housewives. I am on duty in the ambulatoriu.. I take care that everything is in order. I often get notifications by mail about meetings, conferences where I must attend. Since last year I began to study and by this time I read and write a little. Until now I did not know one letter. Regardles of my age I take an active part in social life. I want to help build Socialism. (Signed) DOMNA LAPTUKHOVA S.

This winter some evictions are tak- ing place and many more are ex- pected to take place. There is hardly a family that is able to take care of themselves. I think the time is rotten ripe for some organization. I have been thinking of doing this, but did not know exactly how to do this. Would be very glad for you to send some experienced person down here to call a meeting. From a reader. Editor's Note: As a result of the Farm Confer~- ence in Washington, a wide-spread organization of farmers throughout the county is planned. This farmer's appeal for organization will be turn- ed over to this new organization. Farmers, Are Warned | Against Farmer-| Labo r_ Politicians DALBO, Minn.—The majority of the farmers in this community are still deluded by the magicians of the farmer-labor party who promise many things. Principally the Frazer bill, now pending in congress, which when enacted they say, will practically solve the farmers’ problem, particu- larly financial for he will be able to borrow money from the government at 1 1-2 per cent and 1 1-2 per cent amortization, thus enabling a farmer to unmortgage his farm in 60 years or less. I wish you would publish the true figures on this bill, I talked to one f-1 member who claimed that the government would make two billion dollars for agricultural refinancing if this bill becomes law. I tried to point out how inadequate this sum would be if the bill became Jaw to take up all the mortgages now held by the insurance com- panies, banks, etc. But he talked vaguely about a “revolving fund.” Since I did not have figures on the total farm debt I could not argue this question. Except to say that the capitalists have the farms mortgages for two or three times their normal market price and that they would still own it. under the terms of the Frazier bill, with the taxpayers and farmers the goats. Wish you would publish from time to time extracts of Marx, Engels, Lenin and others on the revolu- tionary movement as many of us cannot afford to buy these books, Farmer, Ed, Note—The Frazier bill’s main point as affects the farmers is’ as follows: The banker would be paid off by the government and the farm- er would then pay his amortized debt to the government as the writer points out. This means that the bankers’ profits are secured by loot- ing the treasury and the farmer loses his land to the government instead of to the banker. Some figures on the farmers’ plight today: Taxes have risen 266 per cent since the war. Out of a total 978,000,000 acres in farms, 200,- 000,000 acres are tax delinquent. One hundred seventy-three million are under mortgage. Three hundred seven million are farmed by tenants. (The tenant farmer still pays his full share to the owner but price has reduced his income drastically). Twenty-three per cent of the land total is owned by those who toil it and is usualy the poorest land. In 1932 the farmer received in propor- tion to his expenditures for living articles, machinery, etc., price paid as to price received for products 102 to 54. Mortgage total in 1930 was $9,250,000,000. Income loss last year amounted to $346,000,000. All figures are based on department of agriculture reports. Remember that rich farmers through their co-operatives, etc. are helped by the government and the burden is on the poor farmers. - It is now reported by the depart- ment of agriculture that 40 per cent of the farms are mortgaged, as fol- lows: 10 per cent for three-fourths to full value, 21 per cent from one- half to three-fourths of value. In 1932 (to date) 10 per cent of the mortgaged farms as being indebted He accounts for five per cene of the mortgaged farms as being indetbed in excess of their value and the bal- ance as being small mortgages. We call attention of readers to the fact that all federal figures are of doubt- ful veracity in being complete.

The Montgomery Advertiser carried a} small item buried on an inside page explaining the move as due to the crowded condition of the jails in Tallapoosa and @djoining counties in the heart of the struggle. Sheriff Riley has refused information as to the whereabouts of other prisoners. The International Labor Defense attorneys here are taking steps to try to see the five prisoners here. According to the local boss press, Sheriff Riley has ordered the five held incommunicado. Donald Burke; southern organizer of the LL.D. now in Montgomery to organize the defense of the ar- rested croppers, announced today that Frank B. Irwin of Birmingham has been employed by the LL.D. to defend the croppers, Irwin arrived here on Thursday. ‘Together with Mrs, E. M. Cooper, a representative of the LL.D., he visited various jails where officials were declared holding the prisoners. After a conference with Sheriff Young and the solicitor of Tallapoosa County, Irwin was per- mitted to speak to ten prisoners held at Dadesville. These are Ned Cobb, Emmet Wood, Cornelius Wood, Wal- ter Pogue, Lloyd Simpson, Wilbur Cobb, Edgar Cobb, Clinton Moss and Alfred White, Irwin also saw Andrew Cobb at the Wetumpka County jail and Sam Moss at the Opelika County jail. In every instance, Mrs. Cooper, I. L. D. representative, was refused permission to speak to the de- fendants. Sheriff Young stated he would not permit any repre- sentative of the I. L. D. to speak to his prisoners. Young also denied the constitutional rights of | the defendants to speak privately | with their attorney. Young and the sheriffs of Wetumpka and Opekia counties were constantly present taking notes. At Tuskegee, Sheriff Riley abso- lutely refused to give any informa- tion on the number of prisoners he had or their condition. ‘He arro- gantly refused to permit Attorney Trwin to see a single one. He later removed five prisoners, including Clifford James, to the Montgomery | County jail, where he still holds them incommunicado. Before returning to Birmingham, Irwin conferred with Gen. George W. Chamlee and Irving Schwab at the Hotel Jefferson Davis here. Chamlee and Schwab are in Mont- gomery in connection with the pre- parations for the new Scottsboro trials. Following the conference, Irwin stated that business required his return to Birmingham, but that he*would return here to secure writs of habeas corpus demanding the re- Jease of all defendants, the recogni- tion of their civil rights and an im- mediate hearing.

We called a meeting and it was) agreed upon to hold a mass demons- | tration at the courthouse. The day of sale came. The demonstrators rode in trucks and cars into Luding- ton carrying banners protesting against the eviction of the farmer. They reached the courthouse and the judge and auctioneer declared the sale was put off until 2 p.m. During the lunch hour it was broadcasted over the radio that a large number of Communists had gathered in Lud- ington and had brought a truckload of dynamite to bomb the courthouse.
