LIBERIA DECLARES WAR

Aug.
ON Aug. 7, 1917, Liberia, the
~ Negro republic on the west
coast of Africa, declared war on
Germany.
The Germans, deprived by force
of arms of their own colonies, found
in Liberia their last foothold in
West Africa. Here they became
very obnoxious and largely ignored
the Liberian government.
Coincident with the arrival of a
British warship to Monrovia,
Liberia declared herself in state
of war and expelled the Germans.
Liberia later was a .signatory Of the
Treaty Of Versailles.
This day in the World war also

The child he selected as a shield

Interesting though his testimony

Prohibition taught the boys how to

LIFE INSURANCE THROUGH
MASS STRUGGLE

In a recent radio speech Ex-president Cool
idge notorious strike breaker of the Boston police
strike, said: 81 urge young and women to Sc
all the life insurance they while they are
young as a savings plan for their future and to
create estates to protect their dependents"
A capitalist news agency in reporting this
pointed out that this was "first rate advice" It
added: "There is no finer influence for progress
and for a stable civilization than the institution
Of life insurance 1t makes for self reliance, for
future security, not only for the policy holders
dependents, but for the policy holder himself"
Strike breaker Coolidge and the capitalist
new agency try to fool the youth of the United
States into believing that their is some decent flu
ture possible for them under capitalism. Coolidge,
who, after leaving the presidency, got a job as
wooden Indian for one of the largest life insur-
ance companies at large salary just for the pur-
pose of deceivng the toiling masses, wants the
youth to "plan for their own future" thru giving
part of their wretched income to the exploiting life
insurance companies
The future of the youth of this country lies
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1931-12-11

not in capitalist life insurance but in the life in
surance of the working class. This life insur-
ance is the life insurance guaranteed by the mil
liant mass organizations of the toiling masses.
The life insurance of the farm youth is in the
United Farmers League with their parents.
The capitalist news agency has the gall to
.alk of future security" for the masses in this
system that is visibly crumbling before our very
eyes. Life insurance under capitalism is design
co, as they admit, to provide for the progress"
of this system of exploitation-s designed to make
stable" this system of oppression and gore. The
progress" of this system is toward ever greater
misery for the masses. It's stability lies in
ever worsening crisis and in imperialist war.
The self reliance of the toiling masses must
lie in the realization that they win concessions
from the robbers if they solidly united, that
they can clean out the exploiters by the determin
ed struggle of the millions.

the United Farmers League is the
organization that fights for their
interests. A county committee of
ID farmers was elected to carry
on the organizational work.
The resolution pointed out in
mart the condition of the farmers
in Houghton county as follows:
"We have proof of increase in
taxes in the neighborhoGd of Tap
lola. Houghton county, where
small farmers taxes have risen on
forty acres from 81 to $SS in the
last IS years. While this tremen-
dous increase in taxes of the
small farmer has taken place, the
Calumet and Hecla and ether cor
porations who own all the most
valuable mineral and timber ladns
in Houghton county, are complete
ly tax exempt.
The condition of the farmer Is
becoming such that it is impossi-
BILE to provide decent LIVING for the
family while trying to pay mort
cages, interest, taxes and other
current expenses"
Present Demands
The resolution then continued
to give the immediate demands ot
the toiling farmers.
So be it resolved, that The
Houghton county supervisors take
favorable action at once in putting
into effect the following demanm

THE PAST YEAR IN THE UFL
and THE TASKS BEFORE us
b. RUDOLPH HARJU
Secretary, United Farmers League

The past year has been year of enormous
experiences for the United Farmers League. Great
progress has been made in every section of the
country wherever little effort has been made to
organize small farmers and rally them around the
program of struggle of the United Farmers
League. But nowhere have we succeeded to the
extent that the existing and ever sharpening eco
nomic crisis of capitalism in general and the
deep going crisis of agriculture warrants and de-
mands from u.s. Hundreds of farmers meetings
have been held where thousands of small and
middle farmers enthusiastically responded to our
call and yet comparatively little organizatonal
suits can be recorded. Of course, there are sec
tions where good organizational work has been
carried on and good results gotten in connection
with the general agitational work But generally
speaking the oranizational results have been weak.

FEW STRUGGLES DEVELOPED

But not only is it true that from the organiza-
tional point of view results weak, but in some
sections where work has been carried for
months, we have been unable to develop struggles.
This is a very serious shortcoming and must be
overcome without delay.
The every deepening economic crisis puts adj
ditional responsibilities on the shoulders Of the
comrades active in the UFL4 The poverty-ridden
farmers are eagerly looking for leadership to lead
them in the struggle for relief against their enc
miles, the capitalist exploiters and swindlers. No
matter where our organizers go they are well re-
ceived by the small farmers We hold meetings,
present our program of struggle and we forget
about it later. And consequently no struggles
develop because insufficient attention is given to
the matter of organizing the farmers around is
sues which are immediate and of such nature that
whole communities could be modified to back
them up.
Of course, there are many reasons why this
is So The lack of forces is one of the big prob
lens that contribute this state of affairs. New
territories are opening every day where we have
| to send our most experienced organizers at the
| expense of those communities where considerable
work has already been done but not yet by any
| means finished.
| In view of this situation it is imperative that
special attention will be given to the problem OF
| developing new forces and local initiative Also
very serious consideration must be given to the
/ organizational work in communities where we have
contacts and organizations. From now on We
must take as our major task, the organization o.
the UFL and the strengthening of the existing or
CARNATIONS in every locality, county and state
Local COMMITTEES and branches must be strength
ened, county and state apparatus must be bull
on functionig basis.
