...Workingmen. Last week the Communist party of the U. S. sent to Moscow as delegates to the sixth conference of the Third Internationale, Comrade John Pepper & Comrade John Loveday. A total of 50 nations were represented. Cheers rose all round Comrade Loveday, when he cried: "A free proletarian state will arise in the U. S. on the ruins of capitalism!"

Calm impartial observers refreshed their memories as to the actual nature of the Internationale...
Political forces emanating from the U. S. and Japan were exerted at cross purposes, in China last week, not against each other but none the less in conflict. Both military intimidation and diplomatic pressure were employed by the Imperial Japanese Government against the new Chinese Nationalist State.

...would make the farmer see his farm not as a source of food alone but as a vast storehouse of potential petroleum, paint, tiles, silk, synthetic lumber. Let him turn oat chaff, cottonseed hulls, corncobs into money to buy Fords, phonographs. New Products. Professor Orland Russell Sweeney, of Iowa State College, called the Corn Belt a great sponge soaking up the energy of the sun. Nowhere else in the white man's world is there another such trap for solar power. This energy is stored in chemical compounds; not lost. True to the laws of physics it is merely...
