Everything went along well—until
the power of God appeared, ir. the
form of the worst drought in genera
tions. The wheat and cotton crops of
whole states were literally burned
to dust—cattle died of thirst and
starvation—high winds whirled away
seed and top-soil, making a desert of
what had been the finest and richest
farm land in the country.
Outside of the afflicted areas, the
American people had little idea of
what the result of this would be.

for the farmers whose year’s income
hnd vanished, agreed that the Gov-i
eminent should administer relief.
What they did not realize was that,
the drought, following upon the man
made campaign to destroy produce,!
had turned the crop surplus into a J
Grop deficit. And that jneans but one i
thing: Soaring fod prices to. the con- i
sumer. Private crop experts say that
it will take five or six yeors to make
up for the crops we have lost- Every
one of these experts is of the belief
that during the coming winter food
prices will be higher than for manyj
years past—and that, coming at a
>ime when the national income is still
heavily repressed and millions of
families are earning just enough to
?et by on, contains the fruits of po
tential tragedy.
President Roosevelt, Secretary Wal
ace and others have said that all the
power of government will be used to
prevent profiteering, that the con
-umrr will tie protected, but no law
exists which can keep farmers from
hang’ng onto what crops they have
’eft in the hope of higher prices—no
nower has yet been called into play
hat can prevent speculation all along
the line, from the farm to the gro
cery store. •
Washintgon is worried and uncer
tain—and in the meantime the Gov
ernment is in the odd position of forc
ing crop reduction on one hand, while
administering relief to crop suffer
ers on the other.
The hand of politics, not too well
vields. beginning to appear in many
supposedly dispassionate surveys of
the business situation. It is an an
dent axiom that any smart statisti
cian can produce figures that will
prove almost anything—it is equally
axiomatic that you can color the true
facts concerning business by other
overstatement or understatement
without actually telling an untruth. .
Republican sympathizers are seek
ing to make the public believe that
business . is bad/ is- getting -worse.
Democratic backers are trying to per
suade t that business is recovering
that definite improvement is takina
place all the time. The truth, as is
so often the case, lies between these
extremes of opinion. Business is still
suffering from the summer decline,
but in some fields production is aboYC*
what the normal seasonal expectan
cy would have led us to expect. Pric
es for many commodities seem fairly
steady—those of agriculture, due fo
drought, well up, and rising. Basic,
heavy industries—notably, steel and
lumber- are at very low ebbs, how
ever. _
Main fly in the ointment is still la
bor trouble. By the time this is read,'
some 5,000,000 textile workers may
have walked out, paralyzing the in
dustry. Whether they do or not, is
not especially important so far as the
long view is concerned—the fact to
be kept in mind is that labor has been
made dissatisfied and forces are at
work to keep trouble brewing in a
campaign to unionize industry. 10.0
per cent. The appeal made to labor
is that if it loses now, its cause will
be set back a century On the other
hand, conservative leaders believe^ ra
dicalism and strikes will shake pub
lic confidence in organized labor at
nis time—that me Hip. Hon is better
than force
Of obvious interest to-business are
the state primaries, which so far have
demonstrated very little. Most Demo
cratic nominees are enthusiastic New
Deal r| m—most* (Republican candi
dates are equally enthuiastir in oppo
sition- The President has let it be
known that he will not give direct
support to any candidate, and that
»»me as a blow to many a political
hopeful. Mr. Roosevelt is wisely re
fraining frem following the example
of the tragic Wilson who asked the
country to return Democratic majo
rities to House and Senate, was re
fused by the electorate candidates
will insinuate that the President
won’t be able to sleep nights until
they are safely elected—but that
won’t mean anything.

Appointed A Teacher
-By the time she was ready to gc
to the New York City Normal Col
lege - now known as Hunter College
Williana Jones had risen to the posi
I tion of paid assistant to her mother.
' She received $5 a month for waiting
table. Most of this sum she contri
buted to her brothers’ support.. Oc
cassionally she bought books; less of
I ten clothes
The six-years’ struggle for a teach
er’s education ended when she receiv
ed an appointment as a first-grade
teacher at $50 a month.
The difficulties she had gone thro’gh
as a child and a young girl, the sight
of her mother working day in and
day out in rich white folks’ kitchens,
the experience of Jim-Crowism and
segregation, set the, young school
teacher thinking. Hating the system
of poverty and race discrimination
as she dd, t was nevitable that she
should seek and find the working
class movement. She joined the
Communist Party in 1926, and be
came one of its most active work
I ers.
Expelled From School System
Although Mrs. Burroughs soon be
came known to her fellow-teachers
as a “radical,” her high standing as
a teacher and the respect of her as
sociates prevented the Board of Edu
cation from molesting her.
When she became active in the
Teachers’ Committee for the Defense
of Salaries, however, and began to
'Peak at public meetings for the
Scottsboro Boys, the board planned
to get rid of her.. The opportunity
came when Isidore Blumberg, a white
teacher, was expelled from the school
system because he acted as chairman
of the salary committee.
Sympathetic Negro and white
teachers formed the Blumberg De
I fense Committee, of which Mrs. Bur
roughs became chairman, She led a
large delegaeion of teachers to the
Board of Education to demand Blum
berg’s reinstatement. She pointed
out that Blumberg’s only (|crimp” j
was fighting against salary cuts for i
the teachers of New York.
For this activity, Mrs. Burroughs ■
was dismissed for “conduct unbe
coming to a teacher and prejudcial
to law and order.”
Since leaving the public schools,
Mrs. Burroughs’ main work has been
as chief of the Harlem Workers
School, at 200 West 125th Street.
Mrs. Burroughs married Charles
Burroughs, a postal employee, while
WILLIAM BURROUGHS FOR
LIEUT. GOV. OF R. V.
NEW YORK—(CNA>—"If the Board
of Education thought my conduct last
year was unbecoming a school teach’r
just wait till they watch my cam
paign for Lieutenant-Governor!”
So says Mrs. Williana Burroughs,
who in 1933 was a storm-center of
the educational world in New York
because she dared to .work actively
for the defense of the Scottbsoro
boys.
Mrs. Burroughs, last year Commu
nist Canddate for controller of New
York City, has received the nomna
tion of the Commiunkt Party
of New York State for
Lieutenant-Governor in the coming
elections. As running-mate of Isreal
Amter, (white) who will make the
campaign for Governor, Mrs. Bur
roughs will tour the state, and bring
the Communist program before the
people.
Her Background
“I belong to the working-class,”
says Mrs. Burrougs.
This is no melodramatic campaign
avowal, but a matter-of-fact sum
tting up of her life history. Born in
Petersburg, Va. , and named Williana
Jones, she was brought to New York
at the age of four by her widowed
mother, with a sister and a borther.
She spent the first seven years in
New York in the Colored Orphan Asy
lum. Her mother could not care for
children and work in someone’s kitch
en at the same time. And, “sleeping
in” jobs were the easest to find.
When little Williana was 11, her
mother took the children from the
! asylum and set up housekeeping.
I She had a “sleeping-out” job now,
and her earnings had risen from $5
1 to $20 a month. Williana and her
brothers went to sch.ool.. After the
school hours the (Litftle girl would
come to the house where her mother
worked helped her with such chores
as washing floors and dishes, clean
j ing the pantry, and preparing vege
; tables
