HYDE REFUSES
ANY RELIEF TO
FARM MASSES
Wall St. Solutions to Crisis
Have Proved Complete
Failure
FOUR NECESSITIES
FARMERS SHOULD WAIT FOR
END OF CRISIS AND NOT
DEMAND RELIEF

Secretary Hyde en- May 16
stated that emergency measures
dealing directly with agriculture
are not necessary. This is the
answer of the Hoover Hunger gov
eminent to the growing demands
of the toiling farm masses for re-
lief. What the farmers need, &C
cOrding to Secretary Hyde, are
markets for farm products" which
may be obtained by reversing the
trend which lost them to the far
mers." This brazen agent of the
Wall Street bankers told the wheat
farmers almost two years ago that
the reason for their misery was
the dumping" of wheat by the
Soviet Union. This lie has been
worn out. He now comes and tells
the farmers that if the crisis were
liquidated they would be better
off. While the crisis continues, he
tells them tho, that they need no
relief.
A Series of "ShOcks''
According to Hyde, the crisis
may be iquidated by the use OF
credits available thru the Recon
structiOn Finance Corporation and
other Federal agencies. But a
series of shocks" has prevented
the liquidation of the crisis de-
spite all of the nice agencies the
capitalist class has provided fol
that purpose. What he hides from
the toiling farm masses is thai
the crisis is deepening despite al
Of the frenzied efforts of the Wal
Street bankers and their Hungel
government.
-Four things only are re
quired In the economic SOunda
ton for recovery of agricultur
and three of t&ese have bee
provided while the fourth is be
ing developed. They are tn
tariff, the Federal Farm BOarG
organization of farmers an
the land utilization policy.
''The last of these w0ul
have prevented the present ex
IRENE depression of agricuTtur
if it had been applied 10 year
ago, with the effect of adjust
ing production to market d.
mands."
This is the wisdom of the Hooy
er government.
The tariff on agricultural pre-
ducts has not helped the farmer
of the United States one bit. Tn
tariff on the products they have I
buy has meant hundreds of mi
limos of additional plumber for til
trusts.
The Federal Farm Board hs
been used to aid the spectators ;
the expense of the toiling far
masses. 1t has served to sho
that the capitalist class is unab
to halt the deepening of the Girls
thru its most strained efforts.
The Organization" of the IA
mers thru the National Grang
the Farmers Union, and the Far
Bureau Federation has deceive
millions of farmers about the pu
pose of the Farm GARD, has turn,
on them a huge stream of prop
ganda in favor of the equaliz
observation-disclosures plan, HI
prevented them from organizi1
for militant struggles for relic
This is the Organization" tn
Hyde praises.
The only part of the progra
which has not been fulfilled is t
land utilization plan.
This means throwing millions
acres, Sub marginal land" out

MILLIONS OF FARMERS SHAT
HAVE NO PLACE WHEF
THEY CAN GAIN AN EXIS

the gall to say that if this h
been done ten years ago the
would be no difficulties now. T
years ago the farm area of t
country had been expanded
many thousands of acres to "v

workers must starve according
Hyde, because they have no an
