P,,t the united front that the
limited Farmers League stands Tor
: the united front of the toiling
farmers and not the united front
- the misleaders in the three
mentioned organizations. The
limited Farmers League is ready
sn5 eager to enter into united
front actions with the toiling far
mers in any organization or with
those who are not organized at all.
The locals of the United Farmers
League are ready and eager to
DIN in action with the locals OF
fhe Farmers Union, the Grange,
or anv other organization of farm
ers.
2-DO you favor having one
National Board of Directors to
act as our main representative,
with a Subordinate Board OF
each commOdity-Oue SubOrdln-
ate Beard for dairy, one for i've
stock, one for grain, one for cot
ton. etc?
such organization is the KIND
that the Federal Farm Board anc
the bankers favor. This orgam
Eatior would mean cooperating
with the Farm Board IN the wa!
that these organizations have don'
in the past-against the interest,"
of the toiling farmers. The unlte'
front of the toiling farmers mus
be a united front in defense o
their homes and their families
not a united front with Legge
with Stone, or with Hoover.
3-Do you favor Farmers
Ownership of all marketing Ia
cilities where the farmers would
reap the profits!
Or
Do you feel satisfied with the
present system allowing only a
few persons to set the prices
and the profits?
We favor the workers and tal
mers' ownership of all marketln
facilities. But this is posslD
only where the workers and farm
ers control the government. In u

Or
Should we include merchants al

join theirs?)
The United Farmers is an
