A. W. WARBURTON. director of the extention
~ service of the Department Of Agriculture
testifying before the Appropriations Committee
OF the House of Representatives said that he
felt that the As million dollars already appro-
priated to feed the poor farmers horses and
mules and sows would do and that the 25 million
dollar fund for food for the farmers and their
families was not necessary.
sI have no information on the general situa-
ton" he said. "but speaking generally, might
say that believe the farmers will be able to get
BY on the IS million dollars already appropriated
but would have to pull in their belts a little"
Here's director of an. extention service who
tells the starving farmers to pull in their belts
He fills his stomach thrice or more day and
plenty. He is for extended stomachs for the
bosses and the capitol city gang, but for the poor
farmers and workers-well, he could have i'm
proved his relief program despite the fact that
he poses as totally ignorant of the situation He
could have spoken for an appropriation of
couple of million dollars for nice, new, strong
belts, guaranteed not to break and to hush the
cry of any starving worker or farmer for food.
There should be a very small size belt furnished
as we'll, for little one and two year old babies!
Harold Beresford Butler (the name at once
indicates that he is not standing on bread line)
who halls from England a secretary in the
League of Nations, is going to make sensa-
tional report upon the extent OF unemployment
In the United States. The Unemployment Com
Ynittee OF this league for war against the Soviet
Union intends to make liars out of Hoover and
Green, but for a purpose. 1t even now, before
Harold has made his report, estimates the army
OF unemployed workers in this country as be-
tween five and ten million.
oAo If
employees (the latter direct agents of the en-
ployers says it is afraid that all this starvation
and unemployment win swing the world in the
direction of Bolshevism And so its aim is to
put the fear of the twenty or more million job
less In the world into the black haerts of the
bosses so that the bosses will begin their war
upon the Soviet Union at once.
Myron c. Taylor chairman of the finance COM
nnittee of the United States Steel Corporation.
which has sucked billions of dollars worth OF
eorkers' blood and has burned hundreds to
kisp in the white hot steel in its mills, sticks
ut his chest like pewter pigeon and exclaims
chat his grand company of exploiters has already
kiven 100000 to needy employees and former
employees OF the corporation.
He divulges out of the depths Of his dirty
conscience that 'sthe machine age is not cold
blooded and cruel thing which seeks to exter-
inmate man; it Is mans finest expression thru
which great forces have been revealed to him
By the Divine Hand"
Starving unemployed workers, poor farmers,
this Is a gem. God and the corporations join
hands In the finest expression that it has ever
been our good fortune to meet-capitalism skin
ming the workers In the mills and shops thru
continual wage cuts and speed up; capitalism
advising poor farmers and unemployed workers
10 tighten their belts in this rich country which
nov has larger stock of gold than Great
Britain, France, Germany and Spain combined
The New York World is having fit because
ne bill passed by the Senate authorizing the
