FOR A United Struggle Against Starvation

systematic and continuous activities, including
great mass demonstrations for their demands upon
the local governments
The war veterans must through demonstrations
before the city, county and state governments,
fighting for immediate relief now, rally stronger
forces to carry forward broader national struggle
for the payment of the bonus and against reduc-
ton Of their disability allowances.
By means of demonstrations and strikes, mass
actions against evictions the starving farmers
defeat mortgage foreclosures tax collectors and the
exploiting market monopolies.
United mass actions in the neighborhOods and
on city-wide scale, employing all possible means,
go far toward accomplishing the defeat of the
starvation program OF the capitalists.
Make demands upon Congress during
and after the Election
The workers must take measures to unite these
local struggles and develop them not only against
the local. county and state governments, and against
the bosses of individual shops but should make the
struggles constantly broader involving greater
masses of workers, employed and unemployed,
farmers and ex-servicemen.
These local activities must lead up to demon
STATIONS against the Hoover government, against
the national government of hunger and starvation,
to achieve immediate relief and unemployment in
surance, to secure the payment of the veterans
bonus, to compel this government of the master
class to meet the needs of the oppressed Sodifying
their ranks, building their committees everywhere,
they can face Congress-, the Senate and the Presi-
dent with irresistible force that will achieve
results.
On December s. Congress will meet again in
Washington. It's program will be to give new bill
lions to the banks and corporations, to place
taxes upon the masses, while tightening the tax
burden of the capitalists, to vote funds for inn
perialst war, to defeat the veterans bonus and to
refuse unemployment relief and insurance.
The congressman who go to Washington will be
bound up with the political parties of the rich. If
the poor wish to have their voices heard, if they
wish to raise their demands in Washington then
they must elect their direct representative and
go to Washington themselves
Therefore, the development in each locality of
united struggles for relief must have in view the
coming struggles in the winter, which will include
also the demands upon Washington and Congress.
Broad mass delegations should be elected through
out the country during the months of October and
November, which will place before Congress when
it opens the most burning immediate demands Of
the masses.
These demands should be worked out and adj
opted in each locality by broad unity conferences
under the leadership of elected committees set up
to lead the struggle against starvation.
The Communist Party is pledged to support
those demands the masses adopt for themselves.
These struggles will give organization, consci-
BUSINESS, power to achieve the decisive way out of
the misery of capitalism, the revolutionary way out
the only way that can permanently lift the toll
from the slavery of the profit SYSTEM place the
workers and poor farmers in control of the govern
ment and establish the basis for the building of So
ciaism in the United States.
