According to Director Little, the real purpose of the
old aye assistance is to help those aged who can not
help themselves.

Old age assistance could not he construed as a
pension, Little says, because aid is limited to only
tlio needy and is paid them in the amount of their
need.

Governor James V Allred posted a $500 reward lor
information that may lead to the conviction of those re-
sponsible for the tarring and feathering of a labor or-
ganizer at Dallas.

"We had too much of that before in Dallas in the
Ku Klux days,” said the governor. "If the local authori-
ties cannot stop it, the state will.”

The Blanton case down in the Valley is still a mys-
tery, as l'ar as the general public knows. Let us hope that
the state will not rest untill the case is a mystery no more.
* * * * *
It is claimed that the Blantons father and son, were
not the only ones who disappeared on tlio immense Ling
ranch. Such conditions cannot be tolerated by the people
/ of Texas!

Senator Byrnes of South Carolina proposes an allow-
ance of 65 million dollars to pay up to a three cent boun-
ty per pound to cotton farmers.
*****
Farmers will prefer a more definite price, ut least
12 cents; although compared to com or wheat price, cot-
ton should be at least 15 cents a pound.
*****
I tut iio mailer wlta'l the prim guarantee is, there
will still remain a surplus of several million bales.
And it will take more than a mere crop reduction
W remove this growing surplus.

While you farmers are crying for more pickers, "The
largest gathering of unemployed in Washington in recent
years will be seen on August 22, when the national job
march, sponsored by the Workers’ Alliance of America,
arrives here."
*****
So just at the time you would need them here, they
march on Washington and many doubtless will pass the
very cotton fields where work is waiting, marching to
Washington where there is no work.
T l * * * * *
Is it really the work that 'these so-called unem-
ployed want? They are already organized on a na-
tion-wide scale in 2500 local units for “in unity there
is strength.” This in the very time when business is
again a'c its peak and the harvest one of the largest
in years.

The youngest son of President Roosevelt threw a
glass of champagne into the face of the mayor of Nantes
in France. What would Teddy Roosevelt have done to his
boy had he been guilty of such an act?
Very Few Had Sympathy.
In his "Social Justice" Father Coughlin lias this to
say about his ten years of fight and struggle to bring
about Christian justice to the oppressed:
‘ "The experience of 10 bitter years is already behind
me—10 years which have embraced many honest mistakes,
as well as the assurance of some‘good accomplished in an
endeavor to conduct a radio school at the cost *of mor:>
than $5-million, which was gladly spent to arouse a- down-
trodden people to the causes of their exploitation, of the
concentration of wealth, and to the assurance that the
Christian church has been, is, and will be forever on the
Inside of the poor. These 10 years were 10 unpopular
• years, for very few of my fellow clergymen had jlittle
sympathy with me as J ventured to condemn modern
capitalism, which succeeded, both through exploitation
and through concentration of wealth, in creating want in
the midst of plenty.”
That lack of sympathy is not surprising. It can be
said with much truth that the Catholic Action, or rather—
Catholic Inaction is paved mostly by beautiful resolutions
and fine speeches.
