anyone who talks with actual farmers farmers
puzzled over why they cannot sell their pro-
ducts; we ask the comrades in the South, for
example, where poor farmers approach our
strike organizers, if they do not explain to
such farmers that their products are unsold
because the workers are suffering wage cuts,
because 100000 proletarians are unemployed,
etc. Such an answer is logical and it is just
as logical to add that if the workers won
higher wages they would buy more farm pro-
ducts. Any farmer understand that, but
Comrade Bert SHES away from it.
He wants us to tell the poor farmer that
he must support the wage struggles of the
proletariat because, five or ten years from
now, the farmer addressed is statistically
doomed" to become a proletaran. He pro-
poses that the alliance be formed on the basis
that both worker end farmer have interests
antagonistic to finance capital, which is true;
of class relationship he implies that the mass
of poor farmers require no process of revolu-
tionary development, and so far as their sup
port to the wage workers is concerted, he
demands that they accept forthwith the pro-
letarian dictatorship and at once proclaim that
any demand of the proletariat or any struggle
short of the direct strug lie for power is an
illusion. In short Comrade Bert lays basis
for step toward Trotsky's permanent rev.
olution.' He wants a revolution pure and I'M
defiled by any petty bourgeois vagaries, al
though the petty bourgeoisie is invited to have
a hand in it. He wants the petty bourgeoisie
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-06-16

their surplus which might result from the pro-
letariat winning higher wages by such strug-
gle.
1t is not only pedantic, but highly perilous,
for Comrade Bert to imply that the Communist
Manifesto supports the opportunist tendency
that esteems the poor farming masses as "use-
less and hopeless, as doomed, etc. las the
l. W. W. do) by citing Marx the middle
class to support an unqualified assertion that
the poor farmers are not only conservative but
"reactionary", and trying to white down our
Party's action program to point where we
would have to approach the poor farmers with
the sole demand that they subscribe at once
to the proletarian dictatorship or we will have
nothing whatever to do with them. Comrade
Bert can mean nothing else when he leaves
unexplained how, in the present and concretely,
he proposes to make clear to the millions of
poor farmers that they should mot defend
their present, but their future interests"
If we consider that, just as the proletariat
must take up some position of support or OPP
position to the poor farmers tenant strikes,
for example, so must the poor farmers be in
terested, for or against, the proletariat in its
wage battles. The bcurgeoisie does everything
in its power to Influence the petty bourgeois
agrarian masses against the proletarian strug-
gle, falsely saying that the entire woes of the
farmers are due to "exorbitant wages" de-
manded by the city workers.
Comrade Bert, not the present writer, is
responsible for raising this comparatively
minor matter to polemical level. But we ask
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-06-16

to act with the same clarity and decision as
history will allow.
V. Why Poor Farmers Should Support
the Workers
Comrade Bert, in criticizing the Draft
Program" on agriculture, attacks it for say
ing that higher wages won in struggle by the
city proletariat would "help absorb the
plus" and that this serves as part land only
part) of the "basis" for an alliance between
workers and farmers. He contends, wrongly,
that Marx in the Communist Manifesto con-
tradcts such a postulate, quoting Marx COM
ment on the middle class elements who sup
port the proletariat at defending mot their
present, but their future interests; they de-
sert their own standpoint to place themselves
at that of the proletariat."
There is no contradiction here any more
than the quotation cited can be said to con-
tradict the Draft Program for Negro Far
mers" (Which Comrade Bert approves) where
it says that
"The specific inter-cass relationship, with
out eliminating class distinctions, is based
on community of interests against the big
capitalists"
If they workers and farmers) have "com-
munity of interests" it is here certainly in
the sense of their "present interests" which
they, neither farmers nor proletarians, are
expected to forsake Immediately for their
common future interests" as proletarians. Ma
turally, it is the role Of the proletariat and
its party to develop the social consciousness

Dear Comrade:
when duty calls feel that we should be
ever-ready to respond. And that is the pur-
pose of this article.
Cooperation is the first step to be consider
ed in the situation that now confronts the la
borers. Not only the U. S. A, but the entire
world as it stands, corrupted by capitalism, is
a world of disgrace, poverty, and sorrow. And
until we are thoroughly and fundamentally or
ganized we must continue to suffer from the
lack of even clothing and food.
"The pnder-cover methods of the capitalists
in fighting us are gradually leaking out, there
by helping many of us to wake up to the real
ization that we are being used as slaves. How
long must it take us to see that we are slaves
to capitalists just as the Negro was to his mas
ter before he was freed.
Capitalists realize and know that within a
very short time they will be displaced by those
whom they have for so long exploited.
eve must fight hard battle, dear COM
rades! and in so doing be victorious. We can
not stand idly by and see our little ones starve,
be reared in ignorance, and deprived of the
right to live like human beings because their

sary wages to provide them with what they

Some idea of the complexity of
the social structure these people
have evolved was gained in the
study of their language.

Much Interest
In Valley Trips

As result of an article appear
ing in the March number OF the
American Auto News, written by
Robert Hays, secretary of the ri
Centre Chamber of Commerce and
touching on the scenic beauties and
points of interest in Imperial Val
ley, many inquiries have becn re-
eeived at chamber headquarters
concerning desert trips. the sand
dunes and the old stage route from
san Diego to Yuma, through Car
rizo. Most of these inquiries are
from persons residing in or near
San Diego and Los Angeles who
state they wish to visit Imperial
Valley and prefer to come at this
time of year, when the desert is
covered with flowers.
Through the courtesy of the Auto
News the article has been reprinted

Engineering Department:

We feel that there is need of change in
this department, but it does NOT consist
OF firing the present city engineer Instead,
we believe it economical for the city to give
him additional assistance. Ell Centro is
growing so rapidly, and building activity
has risen to such degree, that we feel the
time has arrived for the employment of
building Inspector.
With demands made upon him for super
vision of electrical, plumbing, building,
lighting, sewerage and pavement work, we
feel that it is impossible for him to give
each of these lines the attention it merits
This applies particularly to building activ-
tiles, which warrant an inspector of their
own. Each building erected in Ell Centro
should be carefully inspected in detail
This is impossible with the heavy demands
made on the engineering department at
present. The building inspector could re-
lleve the engineer also of electrical and
plumbing inspection, leaving him more time
to devote to purely engineering matters
and obviate the need for doing much work
outside of the hours for which he is en-
ployed by the city.
We believe there is need for a thorough
revision of Ell Centro's building ordinances
Many of those under which buildings are
now constructed are obsolete, some dating
Dack as lar as l9OS. IheSe ordinances
should be gone over thoroughly, the obso-
lete ones weeded out or made to conform to
present conditions, and the whole schedule
codifed so that building activities may not
be hampered or the safety of citizens en-
dangered by buildings which are of infer
ior construction. This could be done under
the supervision of building Inspector such
as we have suggested, and with little ex-
pense to the city.
What has been said of the chief of po-
lice applies to the city engineer We have
no personal or political opposition to him
so long as he administers his department
efficiently and are willing to aid him in do
ing that
