sv JOHN 3, cHAPPLE

CAPITALISM in America has reach
- ed the stage where the entire
farming population-wi the excep.
ton Of the capitalist, bank-fnanced,
machine-operating and hand" hiring
farm plutocrats-is feeling the lash.
In Montana farmers forced a pint of
castor oil down the throat of deputy
sheriff trying to evict farmer from
his mortgaged farm. Instances of
those sporadic farm "revolts" could be
multiplied by the hundreds. The
trek Of starving farmers to the cities,
where they become the victims of a
different but no less vicious kind of
exploitation, is so apparent that only
the most rabidly capitalist farm pa
pers cover their eyes and see no evil.
Even such comic-opera farmers
friends as Senator Capper of Kansas
admit the farmer is not getting his
fair share of the national income,
while statistics wildly and indisputa-
bly, show how farm costs and taxes
have been going up while market
prices for what the farmer has to sell
are below the cost of production.
HALFWAY and transition measures
IL which the farmer devises to de-
fend himself are legion. There is the
movement for Capitalization of cream
cries and cheese factories, under farm
err control; the Canadian wheat pools,
the central agency of which disposed
of 190,000,000 bushels of wheat this
year; the disposal OF 10000, 900 union
labor Washington apples by the Farm
er-Labor exchange; the whole produ-
GERS and consumers cooperative
movement Lenin himself has empha-
sized in his pamphlet "About the Co.
perative Societies" the Importance of
cooperation with regard to the transit
ton to a new order Gin the simplest,
easiest, and for the peasants (farm-
ers) most attainable manner. Present
day American co-operatives are impo-
tent only insofar as they fail to un-
derstand-again using Lenin's words
such fundamental problems as the
class struggle, the conquest Of politi-
cal power by the working class, and
the overthrow of the rule of the ex-
plotting class" A further proof of the
Importance of the co-operatives is the
fact that consumers co-operatiyes in
the Soviet union today, have 10000
members operating 53,466 stores.
That some American co-operatives,
at least, are fully aware Of their stra-
tegic position is evidenced by the sub
iect OF talk by George Halonen of
the Cooperative Central Exchange of
Superior, Wisconsin, before the ma
tional cooperative congress at Mimi
eapolis in November. Halonen spoke
on the relation Of the cooperative
movement to the general labor move
ment. And finally, among transition
phenomena, stands the Farmer-Labor
party, so directly emphasizing work
ing class solidarity that its candidates
were supported by Communists in
four states in the general election.
The Vanguard

history, a vanguard of interpreters
among the farmers has arisen. Born

ledge of economics into poetry to fire
the hearts OF men who haze annovt
given up. And SO on and on-here,
there, everywhere, thruout the exploit
ed agricultural regions Of North Amer
lea, are these spots Of fire."
Face Serfdom.
MANY farmers are on the border
4F1 line of serfdom. Twenty years ago
their spirits were high. They began
clearing their quarter sections with
vigor. Today their eyes are glazed
and their cheeks sag. Hope has been
pulverized in the grist mill Of toll.
Their masculine women have tremb-
ling chins and curse because they
have given birth to children who must
take their places in an earthly hell.
These are the people owned by their
mortgages and their cows-serfs as
completely as any feudal subject of
manor-lord.
Among these people this vanguard
Of interpreters is at work, explaining
invigorating. Behind the glazed eyes
of the lean-jawed, grey-haired men
who sit silently at the farm meetings,
fire is smouldering. These gnarled
hands know how to grasp a sickle.
They listen, checking the words Of the
Interpreters with life as they have
known 1t.
A surging wave Of tremendous pow
er is slowly gathering momentum.

Party Doubles.
The Communist Party has more
than doubled its membership since the
general strike. The minority move
ment has grown extensively. The in
evitable endeavors of the British bour-
geoisie to develop plans for the trusti-
fication Of industry and extensive
plans for naturalization as well as the
loss of markets, accentuate the strug-
gle of the classes and increase the
difficulties of the ruling class, which
will now attack the workers more
fiercely, said Murphy.
Summing up the perspectives and
tasks of the Communists, the speaker
pointed out again the effects Of the
struggle: it has increased the Unequal
tiles of capitalist development, it has
accumulated Britain's decline as a

WORKING CLASS
leads FIGHT TO
LIBERATE CHINA
Comintern Discusses
Chinese Revolution
Especial to Tho Daily worker]

MOSCOW, U. 8. 8. r., Dec. b.--The
question OF the Chinese liberation
movement Is still being discussed by
the enlarged executive committee Of
the Communist international meeting
here. In Thursdays session, under
the chaIrmanshlp Of koiaroff (Bul.
narIa) the representative Of the CHI
nese Communist Party Tan Ping
Fislane summed up the debate on
China.
Pointing out that the main task Of
the Chinese revolutionary movement
was to consolidate the achievements
30 far won, he warned against the
still existing danger Of foreign inter
vention. He declared that the task Of
the Chinese Communist Party In the
ensuing period was to secure for itself
the leadership Of the proletariat.
ProIetsrIat and 5ourueolsle.
During the further development Of
the national revolutionary movement,
Tan Ping Hsiang said. there are two
important existing tendencies:
One is the aspiration of the prole-
tariat Of China to continue the lead
ing role and the other Is the effort Of
the big bourgeoisie to sieze this role
from the hands of the working-class."
Capitalists Divided.
The division Of forces among the
Chinese bourgeoisie, the speaker said,
are the deeply conflicting interests
between Industrial and commercial
capital on the one hand and the con-
dict between native and foreign capt.
tai on the other! At the same time
the Electromagnetic is opposed TO the
big bourgeoisie, native and foreign
alike.
1t is this correlation Of forces, said
Tan, which allows the proletar1at to
maintain the hegemony of the national
liberation movement together with
the common interests and aspira-
lions that the working-class of
the city has with the peasantry. The
latter, he said, are playing an In
creasingly larger part In the revolu-
ton and are realizing the community
Of interest between the country and
the city.
The proletar1an movement must
come closer to the peasantry and to-
gether fight the landlords on the basis
Of agrarian demands, without which it
is impossible to consolidate the revo-
luton in China. 1t is necessary, the
Chinese delegate stated, to confiscate
the lands Of the big owners and reac-
tionaries, lower 1easehold rents, and
seriously fight the money lenders
The Chinese Communist Party must
also formulate clear economic pro
gram for Industrial labor demands, in
tensify activity in the towns and VII
lagos and among the working youth
and TO forward the political education
Of thu soldiers in the national armies.
he said
In conclusion. Tan Ping Shiang well
coined the statement Of the Kuomin-
tang party of Wednesday, In which
their representative declared the will
lingness OF the peoples party to CO
operate with the Chinese Communist
Party in a united front that viii as
sure the success of the Chinese liberia
tion movement.
