tent to view the preparations for our
journey.
About 80 bullocks stood quietly
munchng the short grass and three
wagons were being loaded to their ut

drawn up on one side. waiting TO re.

At last all was ready for the bull
locks to be yoked in. The tent was
turned to the animals: hustle and con-
fusion reicned everywhere. The
quietly munching animals suddenly
seemed to become possessed. With
tails erect and heads down. they
rushed hither and thither, intent only
on escaping the yoke.
The last refractory beast was finally
caught and yoked, the last drop of oil

The Role of the City and Land Workers

a percentage Of the entire population,
it is evident that they are OF rather
great weight economically speaking.
The industrial proletariat of the high
ly developed countries often have a
certain false opinion, an illusion that
this problem is not of importance.
But how are matters In reality? As
for the economic situation, Great Brit
ain is in Asia, and France looked at
economically is in Africa. 1t is evil
dent that the close attention now paid
by the British working class to the
colonial problem contains PRESENT.
ment of future problems. The simple
British worker, seeing the disturb
ances in India, must ask himself,
HIM, if l do not support India now
and then it separates from Great
Britain, what will have to eat after
the conquest of political power?"
The putting of the question in this
light is, we see, already taking place
in many circles Of the highly devel-
oped economically skilled proletariat.
1t is closely related to the circum-
stance that the problem Of the con-
quest of political power by the prole-
tariat has become one Of the chief
problems of our day.
IJOW do matters look when we con-
IL slider the peasant question from

the standpoint of the distribution of
social forces at the present moment?
When we ask under whose influ-
ence the peasantry stands, how its
forces are divided among the different
classes, we must reply that in the
colonial and semi-colonial countries
we have great influence upon the
peasantry, but that in the important
industrial countries our influence Is
practically nil.
In Germany, country where the
economic depressions after the war
with their various consequences ragged
most violently, we see that the Reich
slandbund," which is under the lead
ership of large landowners, has more
than two million organized members.
Half Of the agricultural proletariat is
in this organization.
IF we consider the fact alone and
L then compare the number of mid
die, large, small and dwarf peas
ants. who also belong to this organ
ization, we will see that the over
whelming majority of the pessantry
and one-half OF the agricultural prols-
tariat are directly organized in hostile
organizations.
The social composition OF the lead
ership Of the Rcichslandbund Ia as
follows: at the top are large land
owners and large capitalists. The
theology is monarchist, the backbone
of the apparatus consists OF oxofficers
and high officials.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-05-09

In France also, where the peasantry
is not as reactionary as 1t is in Ger
many, the picture is. for all that, to
say the least-frightful Here, we
have six or seven large peasant and
agrarian organizations, and all of
them without exception, are led by
large landlords and large capitalists.
The organizational structure Of
these organizations is similar In
all countries. Their mainstay is
political party. or several political
parties. In form, they represent
sort of agricultural trade union which
organizes all classes from the large
landowners to the dwarf peasants, and
even the agricultural laborer. With
in these organizations, however,
there is sort of hierarchy at the top
Of which are the big capitalists. The
cadres of these organizations are dis
tinctly hostile to the proletariat.
In connection with these organiza-
lions there are various cooperative
societies, which economically, are
bound up with the banks.
