the farmers as mass phenomenon
are inevitable. Secretry of Agricul-
tural Wallace said: "It will be con-
coded that the unrestricted operation
Of economic laws in course of time
will bring about better material con-
ditions for those who farm. These
laws are at work. They are driving
people from the farms and will con-
tinue to do so until farm production
is reduced to a point where the de-
mand for food will compel fair
price. They are transferring the land
from those who farm it to those who
do not, increasing the number of
nonresident land owners and the at
tending evils. They are compelling
those farmers who manage to hold on
to follow methods Of farming which
deplete the fertility of the soil and
permit their buildings, fences, and
the productive plant to deteriorate
at a rapid rate, thus using up capital
investment. They are reducing the
standard of living in the farm home,
compelling hard labor by the farm
mother, depriving the farm children
of their rightful educational and So
cial opportunities and creating in
them a hatred for farm life which
will lead them to leave the farm at
the first opportunity. The free
operation of economic laws is work
ing all these evils, and more"
The representative Of the capital
list government of the United States
admits the complete bankruptcy Of
the government and of the present
economic system in solving the pres
ent agricultural crisis. The spokes-
man of the government admits that

the economic laws of capitalism
drive the farmers inevitably into
bankruptcy, that they lower the
standard of living of the farmers to
that Of the Russian peasants Of
Czarist times, and lead to inevitable
and complete appropriation of the
farming masses. A process Of the
greatest historical import Is taking
place before our eyes. A process
which finds its counterpart only in
the "Bauernlegen" in Germany after
the Thirty Years. War and the mass
appropriation Of farmers in Great
Britain thru the then new and
ruthless capitalism.
Many comrades have accused me
of exaggerating, not only the revo-
lutionary importance of the far
mers, but the significance and tempo
of the agricultural crisis. But the
picture which Secretary Wallace
gives Of the effect Of the economic
laws of capitalism bears out the
analysis Of the Central Executive
and political situation Of the United
States, and the analysis Of the agri-
cultural resolution adopted by our
last Convention.
On the contrary, If we make O mis-
take, it is in not emphasizing enough
our agricultural work, and the
revolutionary import of the farming
crisis. We must understand that the
economic bankruptcy Of the farmers
goes so rapidly forward that our
work among the farmers cannot
keep pace with it. And we must
understand further that the political
revolt Of the farmers, the entering
Of the farmers into the various

tremendous revolutionary significance
of the agricultural crisis In the
United States. Many comrades see
only the proud industrial structure
Of the trusts, the lofty financial ed
ifce of the banks, and they think
that American capitalism is basically
sound and does not feel = particle
of the CONFUSION caused by the
world war.
The world crisis Of capitalism does
not follow q fixed pattern. 1t start
ed on the industrial side In Germany
and Great Britain, but 1t attacks the
agricultural side In the United
States. The capitalists themselves,
altho they try to hide the crisis,
see much more clearly than do many
communists. Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace, in a speech recently
made before a meeting of the Farm
Economic Association, said: "Ncw
the need is not for greater produc-
ton but for a better adjusted pro-
duction, and to some extent, for a
reduced production. That is a very
difficult matter. The blowing up Of
meadows and pastures and seeding to
grain fields back into grass is not so
grain fields back into grass is not so
easy"
Capitalism has only one remedy
for the agricultural crisis: reduction
of the acreage of cultivated land,
return to more primitive modes of
production and driving the farmers
by the millions off the land. And the
capitalists see-what certain commu-
nists fail to see-that under the rule
of capitalism and capitalist govern
ment the bankruptcy and misery Of

more are only tolerated by the mort
gage-holding bankers because the
bankers can do nothing with the land,
because the cultivation Of the land
by farm-laborers would cost more
than the products which can be pro-
duoed.
At the same time that the owner
farmers are being ruined by the mil
lions, the trend to tenancy is dan
gerously and rapidly growing.
A Part of the World Crisis
We see before us the madness of
capitalism grown to imperialism in
its final development. Great Britain
and Germany are faced with the
problem Of reducing their industrial
working class by many millions. I'm
employment as a mass phenomenon
is menacing them ever more. There is
no hope for selling industrial prod
ucts to an impoverished world, and
there is no hope, therefore, of feed
ing the British and German indus
trial population. And at the same
time there is the enormous agricul-
tural crisis in the United States.
Millions Of farmers are unemployed,
the acreage of cultivated land is
shrinking more and more, simply be-
cause the farmers cannot sell their
products at such prices as will make
it possible for them at least to re-
Ceive wages for their labor. We must
understand that the reduction Of the
farming class in the United States
is one side of that same process, the
other side of which is the reduction
of the industrial working class in
Great Britain and Germany.

At The Movies
THE ELTINGE

The feature attraction at the Ell.
tinge theatre for Thursday is a
motion picture that has been hailed
both in this country and abroad as
one of the outstanding film produc-
tions of the year--"Peter the Great"
Though the picture has an histori-
cal background, being the story of
Russia's rise under Peter, the ship
yard laborer who became a King, tho
main theme concerns the flaming ro-
nance of the Gar with the pretty
daughter Of the regiment, Catherine.
Here are scenes of love making and
revelry, of scandal and intrigue,
which have seldom been approached
in any motion picture before. The
spectator cannot help, it is said, be-
ing swept away by the gusto and
vividness with which the actors and
actresses play their roles. New York
went wild over "Peter the Great"
Booked for only single week. it was
held on Broadway almost indefinitely
before the audiences were satisfied.

Cemetery Lofa

difference is usually made in
cemetery lots in which burials
have been made and those in which
burials have not been made. Gem
etery lots. though real estate. are
generally exempted from taxation.
The purpose OF this exemption is
chiefly to secure burial places from
sale for nonpayment of taxes. In
the majority Of states a burial lot
In which burials have been made
cannot be seized or sold for debts
or the owner If an owner exc
rntes mortgage upon it. the
transaction Is usually held void on
grounds Of public policy. How
ever. cemetery lots in which buriais
have not been made may be bought
and sold subject to the laws of or
binary real estate transactions, pro-
vided no special regulations of the
community or state alter the gen
eral rule.
