hGnhRIAN CRISIS
is SHARPENING
Farm Exports Lowest
Since April, 1915

That the agricultural crisis in
America has been seriously inten-
sified by the general world decline
in commodity prices was indicated
in the monthly survey of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics. In
statement published June 2, and
covering the month of April, the
bureau declared that the index of
the exports of A principal farm
products was the lowest of any
month since 1915, except during the
month of July, 1928.
The April index at 65 was a de-
cline of II points below the index
of March. "The low price of wheat, "
the bureau states, "reflects a world
wide condition of declining com
modify prices, large stocks, bust
ness recession, unemployment and
reduced purchasing power, all Of
which have operated to the disad-
vantage of many producers of COM
modities entering into international
trade, including American wheat,
cotton and pork. Moreover, there
seems to be a somewhat curtailed
consumption within this country,
and apparently this is affecting
markets for cattle, butter, eggs,
lambs, wool and certain vegetables"
While to this capitalist bureau it
only Seems to be-" the facts it cites
speak for themselves. These are
the BLESSINGS that capitalism has
to offer to all the toilers of farm
and city.

MD, COMMUNISTS.

Socialists" N anne A
Capitalist LADY"

BALTIMORE, Md. June 4.-The
Communist Party of Maryland state
is preparing Ratification Conven-
zion for June 30, to be held in the
city of Baltimore. 1t is requested
that every workers fraternal, CO.
operative, and especially all trade
union and shop committee organiza-
tions, send delegates to the conven-
ton.
Workers are asked to organize
shop committees where none exist,
to get in touch with the Communist
Party and prepare delegations and
further the campaign. "Class against
class" is the slogan. And with this,
the only party of the working class,
the Communist Party will battle for
the workers.
Conditions in Maryland grow
worse continually. Even the fascist
president Of the state federation Of
labor" had to admit that unem-
ployment was worse than any time
since the world war In the Bethle-
hem steel mills, the B. and o. shops,
textile mills, ETC., the speed-up, wage
cuts, long hours, lay-offs and dis
elimination against the Negroes are
a daily occurrence.
The social-fascist Socialist" party
candidate for governor is a petty
bourgeois lady intellectual who
never worked day in her life and
who has a valet to answer the door.
The socialist" party is a capitalist
party and the workers should know
it.

also prove that the Daily Worker
was correct in placing the unem-

During the coming elections, the
boss parties will appeal to the
masses to cast their votes for their
candidates. Unemployment, wage
cuts, speed-up, wars for bosses
profits, etc.-these are the "bless-
ings" of capitalism which they are
asked to endorse. The workers must
use their votes to register their
hatred for and determination to
struggle against these blessings"
and the system that produces them,
by voting for their own Communist
candidates.
