Look at the list of con tributors to the American Liberty League and you will have ample evidence of the class struggle. “T expect this process to go on. I should be very much surprised if there did not arise in this coun try a strong political and econo mic movement that was as clearly socialist in its philosophy, what ever may be its name, as the labor movements in England, France, Scandinavian countries, Czachos bovaskia, in fact every industrial nation in the world that still re tains democratic forms. “Tt is difficult to predict at the moment how this will come about, or how soon, but the stage of his tory seems to be set for it. “One thing may hasten immeas urably both the coming of another severe crisis and the growth of a socialist movement—the accurance of another World War in which the United States is a participant.

One can see at a glance that many of the raw ma terials of Fascism are lying around loose in this country.

It all goes back to 1933, When congress enacted the AAA farm program and levied taxes on mill ers, packers and other “proces sors” to finance it. Roughly, a billion dollarg was collected, But last June processors began to balk. They brought suits, challenging AAA as invalid, and fighting the taxes. The lower courts impounded $200,000,000 the ‘government had tried to collect from these proces sors. Other processors, making no ficht, continued to pay. Their pavments totalled $69,427,000 since last June. T.ast year congress, trying to reake provision against the day when ths Supreme Jourt tmight strike’ down AAA, passed a law- It said processors could not press suits to get their money back un less they showed they had not put the burden off on to consumers or farmers ‘ The court did strike down AAA, a week ago yesterday.

But! approximately eight hours later, on every twenty-sixth hour, thirty-} gecond minute, and forty-second second to be exact, a death took piace in this same sgection of the country. . Not that these births and deaths ‘happened as regular as clockwork, ihowever, but in accordance with the annual report of the depart [:iwnt of health of the city of Athens and Clarke county these figures may be approximated. ' The past year brought with it a total of 467 births,- 300 of them lwhite, 167 colored.

'Later she learned his correspond ence courtship was carried on [through a brother in Chicago while her woer languished in the re lformatory. She got the divorce, impounded $200,000,000 would have to go back to the processors. But it has not passed yet on the val idity of the amendment saying that, if processors hope to pget back money already in the treas ury, they must first prove they bore the burden. It is agreed many processors cannot prove thig. The question of what eventually will happen to the $1,000,00,000 is largely up in the air, pending future Supreme Court decisions. Processors: were quick to move to get the impounded $200,000,000. For example, Chicago meat pack ers contemplated filing a petition for $50,000,000 refunds. In Boston a federal judge intended to hand back $7.000,000 to Massachusetts firms today. But, threats have arisen in some cities that consumers will file suits to recover from processors, on the ground the consumers bore part of the burden. Moreover, the Justice depart ment holds the situation is “un fair” to processors who paid with out protest.
