People’s Front Demands Fascist Plot Exposure PARIS, France, Feb. 17. — The Cagoulards, or “Hooded Men” organization, which planned to overthrow the French government by means of terrorism, has definitely been estab- lished as a fascist movement, complete exposure of which will precipitate an unprecedented political scandal. Constant demand of all groups loyal to the People’s Front, and one of the first promises made by the new Chautemps cabinet, is for immediate exposure of the real political leaders behind the con- _ spiracy. That high government and mili- tary officials are involved is cer- tain; otherwise the extensive or- ganization of the terrorists would not have been possible. One of the latest police finds is a document issued to all Cagoulard group lead- ers. The document, obviously writ- ten by a military strategist, con- tains detailed instructions on street fighting. All evidence points to the fact that the GCagoulards planned to use the same strategy employed by the IWazis in the Reichstag fire. A series Gf explosions, for which the Com- munists would be blamed, was to be followed by a “popular uprising” of their own creation. Many of the arms to have been used in this up- rising came from Germany, and the high explosives from Italy, while considerable material had been stolen from French army storehouses. Principal financial support for the terrorists apparently came from the great reactionary in- dustrial trusts of Franco—the Comite des Forges (munitions); Michelin (rubber industry king); the Societe Pernod (alcoholic bev- erage manufacturers). The promi- ment financier, Moreau de la Meuse, M,. Gauden, former head of the employers’ association in Paris, Delonele, Percheron and others have already been arrested. But the men of importance, such as the former premiers Tardieu and aval, obviously implicated, still go free, although the net is drawing tighter. Fascist Gold Shirts Financed Landowners Seeking To Oust Cardenas Regime WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 17.—Back of present attempts of armed fascists to get control of Mexico are the land reforms instituted by the regime of President Cardenas, according to Farm Research, Inc., here. Evidence poins to the fact. that large American landowners are financing the Gold Shirt movement in Mexico which recently engaged in skirmishes with Mexi- ean troops near the American border. Rep. Jerry O’Connell (D., Mont.) declared recently that he has evidence regarding large eaches or arms which the Gold Shirts intend to use against the Gardenas regime. Tand reforms of the Cardenas government were launched follow- ing the ousting of Calles and the eiection of Cardenas on July 1, 1934. During 1935 Cardenas distributed 6,500,602 acres of land among 170,- 134 peasant families. In 1936, 9,030,- 335 acres of land were distributed among 242,664 families. In addition, credit was furnished | the Cardenas regime and with the land, and farm families Were equipped with work stock, feed and seed. Legal safeguards were established to make it impos- sible to take away the land from the present holders and coopera- tives were set up to furnish sup- plies and equipment at low prices. In retaliation for these measures, it is said, large landowners in Mexico are plotting to overturn install the Gold Shirts who will return the Mexican farmers to a state of peonage. One of the largest landowners in Mexico was the notorious Amer- ican publisher, William Randolph Hearst. Fascists Ignore Proposed Truce Hundreds Die In Daily Attacks On Open Towns BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 17. — Between the entry of loyalist troops into Teruel on December 15 and the recent ter- rible raid on Barcelona, fascist planes have made no fewer than 77 raids on cities and towns behind government lines, official reports here reveal. Im 32 of these attacks, 425 ex- plosive and incendiary bombs were dropped, causing 273 deaths and wounding 456 civilians — men, women and children. These figures ao not include those at Barcelona when 400 were killed and another 1,200 badly wounded. Hranco’s main offensive since the fall of Teruel has been directed against civilians in open towns far behind loyalist lines. With fascists’ efforts to retake the city and even to consolidate their present posi- tions in the Teruel sector balked, Franco has sought to terrorize the civilian population of loyalist Spain by daily air raids on peaceful towns and villages. All along the Mediterranean coast of Spain are small towns and villages which for centuries have engaged in fishing and agriculture. These villages, stretching from Valencia to Barcelona, are now > threatened daily with devastation. Death from the air is becoming so frequent that news of many fascist attacks is not reported in the foreign press. Although 22 were killed and 30 wounded in a recent attack on the small coast town of Reus, not a word was printed in the majority of newspapers abroad. Following air raids on Tarragona and Badalona recently the repub- lican government, which had pro- posed an agreement with the fas- cists on the question of attacks on open towns, has now lost hope of any truce. “The idea of bombing our own cities—our own people—is horrible, but what can we do?” Premier Wegrin told the press last week- end. “The rebels apparently will accept no other answer and we cannot permit these attacks to go on.” ON THE FARM FRONT ou Vancouver’s Milk Problem aries could be compiled from the records of the big monopolies that control the bulk of the dairy pro- duce in BC. : Up to the present the dairy farmer is in a position where he has little to say about the matter. He can sell his milk at th= pre- vailing prices agreed upon by the monopolist dairy groups—or he can feed it to his hogs. Monopoly capi- tal, will get him either way. The city consumer on the other hand —the= working man with a family, must get along with one quart, while all the health hygiene and other health experts tell him what he already knows—that he should have four quarts. The price is out of reach of his budget, and his children must suffer. Public institution hospitals, sanatoria, prisons—are compelled to limit their purchases and add water to meet the quantity re- quired. In some hospitals a patient on a “milk diet’ would be startled at the amount of aqua pura billed as milk he consumes. Like as not, if vitality permits, he curses the hospital instead of the milk trust. Co-operative Efforts From some quarters the cry is raised now and again—‘“Let’s have a co-operative.” Public spirited in- dividuals, with an eye to the main chance, have it all figured out just how much could be saved to the consumer, and how much more would accrue to the farmer, through “co-operation.” Promotion of producer or con- sumer or joint forms of co-opera- tives are in line with progressive development, provided, and this proviso is vitally important, that such co-operatives are not swathed in a mass of illusions. The history of farm organization in Canada is strewn with the bleached wreckage of “co-operative” enterprises. The farmer or the consumer goes into business. JNot being business men (or so the experts contend) these “collectives” hire an expert. The inevitable happens—the expert either runs the co-operative enter- prise out of business, or back into the orbit of monopoly capital that it was originally designed to com- bat. Or put it another way: If 200 dairy farmers in the Fraser Valley cannot combine to force a just price out of the distributor then these two hundred dariy farmers in the Fraser Valley would, in all likelihood, be no more successful as a co-operative in milk distribution. Both efforts require a high degree of organization and collective ef fort Us ‘Studies The farmer wants more for his product; something in keeping with production costs, with a mar- gin of profit for labor expended. The city householder and public consumer wants more milk. Monopoly capital gouges both and reaps a fat profit. The US depart- ment of agriculture in an ex- haustive study of milk distribution shows how it can be done. In connection with this study, de- signers drew up plans for a mod- ern up-to-the-minute plant capable Wo doubt a like list of fat sal-¥Y of supplying the entire city with Municipal Distribution Offers Solution By TOM EWEN Anarchy in milk distribution in Greater Vancouver has rendered the cost prohibitive to consumers and limited con- suption of fluid milk. The same anarchy has cut prices to dairy farmers below cost of production and brought them into daily contact with impoverishment and penury. This anarchy is not of the wild-whiskered variety, popular in the themes of hack journalists. It is to be found in the staid, respectable, lucrative domain of dairy product monopo lies. Somewhere between the farmer and the consumer a real skin-game is operated, as the report from the Farm Research, Inc., shows: ADVERTISING RATES advertisements, inch. on application. z ClassifieG, 3 Imes 25c.
