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.

UNDER ONE ROOF AT THE NEBRASKA!, 1 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.

Jumbo Size 25^ *1°.° Regular Size 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..
