Carrying Thru the Attack on the

On June 10 group Of capitalists and their
agents called on Hoover, in the form of letter,
t. organize a Council Of National Defense. This
demand was for a more open dictatorship by the
capitalist class for the carrying thru Of the at
tack the working class in the opinion Of
many thoughtful men," read the letter, time is

os of reputation, bankruptcies, riots and receiv-
erships?" What they is that with the cap
itaist system shaking in its foundations more
open brutality against the working class must be
resOrted to-
Hoover answered the letter the same day.
He stated that he opposed to the demand be
mand because the Council of National Defense
was organized for war purposes only. 81 am,
says Hoover "most DESTROYS of receiving from
yourself and your able associates sugge stions Of
any specific action that might be taken by gov
eminent or private agencies which would improve
the situation"
Hoover told these capitalists and their lack
eys that a new committee should not be organized
now. This would be too openly a move toward
fascism. He asks Of them that they give him adj
vice of "any specific action" that could be under
taken by the capitalist class thru of its many
present agencies He points out that they should
avoid the form of fascisn at this time while car
rying thru fascist program
Among those so who signed the letter to
Hoover were Edsel Ford of "Boody Henry"
VIM. Green, and Matthew Vol, respectively pres
ident and vice president Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor; Jesse Strauss of r. H. Macy Co.,
big New York department store; David B. Rob

The misleaders of the working class are warn
ing the capitalists that if relief is not given to
the unemployed then the capitalist class will have
10 worry about its very existence
f. F. McGrady, of the American Federation
of Labor, speaking before the Senate committee
on relief, stated this in the following words
"The president and congress must re-
alize that conditions are not going to get
better but that they will get worse.

consequences and the leaders must under
stand that the situation should be met IN
diligently and boldly before congress adj
jOurns.

The Rev. R. A. MCGOWAN, of the National
Catholic Welfare Committee warned the capital
lists that, eff congress adjourns without doing
something to aid unemployment they will come
back facing a greater catastrophe than ever be-

The advice of these takers to the bankers is,
~Give the unemployed a few crumbs in order to
prevent them from organizing in great masses be-

The masses of workers and

Party and the Young Communist

and their growing readiness to
struggle, drive them TO seek lead
ership other than that in which
they have become disillusioned.
But many toilers do not know how
the Party and League work, how
these organizations can give them
the leadership they seek. Here
are three pamphlets that will ex-
plain all the workers and farmers
want to know about how the Com
munist Party and the Young Com
munist League are organized, how
they fight, and how they can lead
these bewildered workers out Of
their plight.

ADMITS CLASS DIFFERENCE
Harger admits that among the
farm masses Of the country there
are well defined class differences
though he substitutes for the class
differentiation of small, middle
and uch farmers his own group
ings which cover up these class
groupings.
at must be remembered that
three general CLASSES of prOduc-
ers must be considered: Those
who owned thei rfarms before
the deflatiOn and own them yet,
a going business on which they
can live fairly well; the tenant,
barely existing but mostly indie
pendent of charity; the man in
debt who bought land at high
prices, owes heavily and sees
his life savings slipping away.

the preferred class, 81 in the
tenant class and s. in the debt
or class"
The fals,ness of his groupings
Of the farmers is revealed in his
Statement, that "although econom-
ically their interests are identical,
their attitude varies with the in
tensity Of their situation" In.
this way he tries to hide the fact
that the interests Of the rich
farmer are not the same as those

ger Neither is there serene con-

Harger gives his fellow capital
lists an idea Of this "dotermina-
ton" Of the toling farmers, a
warning Of the struggles that are
developing anon gthe farm mass

told: 1 can not pay for that

He adds later on that "for one
thing he, the farmer, is convinced
that the government cannot solve
his problem-he must do it him
