SOVIET ATTACK LAUNCHED UPON NEW CABINET Moscow 'A, Moscow newspapers Tuesday devoted their leading ar ticles to the resignation of the Brit ish Labor Government, generally considering the "class character" of the British government unchanged by the new coalition. Izvestia said the MacDonald gov ernment was not a government of the worker class, despite its party label, but was supported In all Its problems by "The Imperialistic Rmirronl.," The formation of the new govern- I ment, the newspaper said, indicated that the deepening economic crisis holds grave consequences for the fate of British capitalism at time when the British are forced to re ceive American and French loans to maintain the sterling rate. "The British bourgeois is collecting Its forces to open a decisive attack against the workers and places at the head of the coalition govern ment leader of a 'worker party,'" Izvestia said. The newspaper said the task of the British communist party now Is to assume leadership of tha working masses to unmask the Bourgeois at tack against the Proletariat under the guise of national unity. "A great class struggle Is going to take place in England," It said.

BMdja Say Food dealers were the most trustworthy of all business instoochins (were glad we dojtt have to spell all the, big words when we talk like we do when we write.) No Bill I said food dealers were trusted more than any other business on earth. (Others of course arent considered.) That last wise crack was added by us the proff dident say that.) Proceed Prof f we wont interupt ye any more. Well as I started to say before you interrupted me of all the millions of people buying foods not one in ten thousand ever know whether they get all they pay for or not. "She! Sh!" Proff the food dealers cant afford to have that kinda talk goin around. Give us an example. Prof f. Allright heres one A friend of mine asked the price of a certain piece of meat at a market here in Salem and was told 20c per pound. Jumpin Jubiter he said whatsa mater? down the street they're sellin the same kinda meat at 15c per pound Whated do we asked the Proff, "why" he said he went to the other shop of course. Well It was quite a savin wasent it Proff? Just waite till I finish and then judge. He told the clerk he'd take fifty cents worth the pkg. dident look very large so he went and weighed itt and its an actual fact Bill he'd paid exactly the same price as the first man had asked him 20c per pound. Now Bill heres the funny part of it the man that made that overcharge did ent own the shop nor did he think he was robbing the customer as he dident charge any more than the other shop asked the people that price tthier goods that way very often do it just to make it apear that they are selling cheaper than any one else can sell. And heres another practice that is not always to the cus tomers advantage and thats specials, of course the public is pretty wise to spe cials now they know that the store advertising and item as a special are doing it for one reason only and that is to create the impression that, that particular store sells everything for less folks, the Professor says that the food buyers to often look only at the price tag, strange as it may seem theres been no super in dividual yet discovered, who has found a way of operating where itt would be posiable to make so large a difference in price as some would like to have the public to believe.
