SOME QUESTIONS
AND OUR ANSWERS


mers can only be achieved by mill
tant struggle AGAINST the in
terests of the capitalist class,
AGAINST the robbery carried oil
by that class.
5-WOuld you favor a plan
which would keep all surplus
products on the farm, thus in
surfing a good price?
Do you favor dumping on the
market and taking what Is Of
fered by commission men disin-
terested in your welfare?
We do not favor keeping the
surplus products on the farm. We
know that the surplus exists be-
cause the workers and the farm
ers due TO the present crisis can
not buy them even tho they are
hungry and go in ragged clothes.
The products we raise should be
consumed. The United Farmers
League struggles in solidarity
with the workers of the city for
/ immediate relief and for the work
ers Unemployment Insurance. If
the workers get relief, if they get
unemployment insurance, at the
expense of the rich, they can eat
and clothe themselves. This would
take care of the surplus" and it
would not need to be kept on the
farm or in the storehouses and
granaries.
6-DO you believe that we
farmers. with an economic prob
lem facing us, should take par
tisan sides In political issues
splitting our vOpe-and let the
economic issue come secondary
We do believe that the farmers
should stake partisan sides" IL
the coming elections. We do no
believe that they should split thei
votes. All Of the capitalist par
ties: the Republican, Democratic
Socialist and Farmer-Labor ar,
parties of the capitalist class. 4
vote for them is vote for tn
capitalist class, is a vote to keeI
] in power the worst enemies OF Tn
toiling farm masses. We bellev
: that the farmers should vote sol
idlv for the party of their class
y the party of the exploited of cit
e and country-the Communist Pa
5 ty.
d The economic struggles of tn
It farmers are incipient polite;
# struggles. The farmers lear
= this every time they meet wit
e, the county commissioners to pre-
test for relief. From this we mu
draw political conclusions. W
must vote-as we must strugg
! against the misery of this crisis
as a.CLASS. We should vote II
the only political party that re
resents that class-the explolt'
/ the Communist Party.
