PROPOSED
ais msead the farmers those which are contained
in its platform mslead the workers.
What have the Socialists to offer the question OF
foreclosures and evicons2 Government aid to farmers
and small home to protect them against torecos-
and sales for nonpayment OF tax what does TINS
program mean in practice? That the IMPOVERISHED
FARMERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE EVlCIEDI
BY THE BANKERS AND THE RICH until the Wall
Street government gives them aid his program Is
laid down by the Socialists order to hide from the I'M
povershed farmers the fact that they prevent tore
closures and evictions by one on y-BY UNITED
MASS STRUGGLE.
Same Capitalist Tax Program
On the question of the outrageous burden on
the farmers the Socialists advocate the program
with different phrasing that advocated by the two
other leading capitalist parties the Republican and Demo
cratic. They want reduction OF tax BURDENS I'M
other words it should remain a BURDEN the farmers.
And so the Socialists add hypocriicay that they want
shifting in taxation away from the farmers just the
Republicans and Democrats advocate in their platforms
Against these CAPITALIST tax programs the Commun-
list Party forward with the only plank that will
mean real tax relief for the impoverished farmers.
EMPTION OF IMPOVERISHED FARMERS FROM
TAXES"
F."" Socialist" Cooperative Marketing
Three planks in the Socialist platform definitely
intended to aid the main capitalist parties in maintaining
the hopes of the farmers cooperation under capital
ISM They want further to hide from the farmers the
the federal
the rest of the apparatus is the agency of the
ast class and while capitalism exists cannot become the
agency for the benefit of the toilng masses.
They favor the creation of federal marketing
agency. Following directly in the footsteps OF the
Democratic attacks on the Farm Board and trying to
make the farmers believe that they expect relief from
marketing agency by the servants OF Wall Street
Encourage" Farmers and Consumers Co-ops
They continue this misleading advice by saying that

with view of eliminating the middleman. They want
to make the farmers and workers believe that they
beat the capitalist system at its own plumber game They
want the activity of the farmers and workers to be div
erted from the need for militant struggle to fight
ing the great capitalist interests the market They
want these 'co-ops and GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
acquire grain elevators stockyards, packing houses
and warehouses and to them non-Profit basis
They trying foster in the minds of the toer the
idea that capitalism GROW into socialism by beating
the capitalist class at its own explove system And they
want to use the CONVENIENT AGENCIES" OF
THE CAPITALIST CLASS TO ACCOMPLISH TE1ISl
Cooperatves for the Masses in the Soviet Union
They use this demagogic line to prevent the work
ers from realizing that cooperaves for the working class
HAVE BEEN ORGANIZED IN THE SOVIET UNION
WHERE THE WORKERS AND FARMERS ARE IN
POWER GRAIN ELEVATORS, STOCKYARDS
PACKING HOUSES AND WAREHOUSES can only
be acquired by the working class by the which the
Russian workers used-by overthrowing the capitalist
system and its dictatorship.
What the Socialists propose that the capitalist sys
tenn be consolidated and that the masses be exploited moi
by Individual capitalists but by the CAPITALIST
STATE, the general manager for the stockholders anc
bond coupon clippers, for the rich.
"SociaIzing" Capitalism
They propose the SPECIALIZATION OF THE
FEDERAL LAND BANKS and the extension by thes.

be accomplished by the working class under capital
ISM The BASIS for socialism has been laid in the chic
capitalist countries in the great machinery of social pro
duction that has been developed under capitalism Tn
driving force, the class conscious power of the workn
class which alone turn this great machinery of socia
