not have been able to put over the Farm Board
and other schemes aimed to help finance capital
and the rich farmers and farm corporations at the
expense of the workers and toilng farmers.
This being true as all can see, and although
the United Farmers League is not a political or
ganization although it welcomes into its member
ship all farmers who want to struggle against
their exploters without regard to their political
party, their religion other distinction, and al
though it points out that control of the govern
ment power in the interests of complete emanci-
patton of the toling of both city and coune
try can be won only when the toilers will wrest
the political power from the hands of their ex-
poiters still points out that there is ONE political
party of the toilers, whose actions as well as
whose election program is in our interests. It's
election program says:
Emergency relief for the impoverished
farmers, without restrictions by the gov
eminent and banks; exemption of impov-
erished farmers from taxes, and from the
forced collection of rents and debts"
For this reason the United Farmers League
endorses the platform and the candidates of the
Communist party, the party most hated by all our
enemies because it really leads the struggle of all
who toll against all who rob the toers. It is the
party of the same courage and sacrifice and leao-
ership which made Russia country where no
unemployment, starvation or misery exist for
those who work, country where through revolu-
tionary overthrow of the political rule of capital
lists and landlords real socialist agriculture is
already bringing freedom from anxiety and great
material benefit to the toilers of the farm
WHAT TO DO NOW
Organize picketing to win your demand!
The United Farmers League appeals to all farm
ers who want higher prices, whether they belong
10 any farmers organization not, whether they
are members of the Farmers Union, the Holiday
Movement" the Grange, the Wheat Pool or the
various "Cooperatives" (Which are, we must say,
mostly controlled by the capitalistic farmers ana
generally are only swinde to the small farm
ers), we call upon all regardless of organization
and politics to organize their forces along the
lines of the following suggestions
(a) All in the township hold meeting to dis
cuss your demands, decide your demands, and elect
a committee to lead your struggle. Be sure to
get the best fighters, real farmers from among
yourselves and not single one of such unreliable
people as lawyers town business men, rich farm
ers or preachers who call themselves your friends
but who are generally ready to surrender your in
terests the minute your struggle gets tough and
the capitalist claw" shows up with clubs, guns,
poison gas, injunctions and indictments.
Discuss all your demads not only your right
full demand for higher prices. Decide whether or
not you are going to pay either interest or prin-
cipal on your mortgages and debts to bankers and
monopolist robbers, and how to mobilize a picket
i;ne against foreclosures and seizures for debt
Decide how much-if any-taxes you will pay to
the capitalist government which has the gall to
rob you to pay the sheriff that clubs and jas you
which has "nO power" to give you real relief but
plenty for the bankers and railroads, which robs
you by high taxes of billions of dollars, to pre-
pare a new world war, war to destroy socialism
in the Soviet Union, war in which it will con-
script you and your sons to die for J. P Morgan
and Mellon. Decide what rent-if any-you who
are tenants will pay in cash crop, to the land
lord class.
(c). By delegates from your township Com
mittees of Action, elect county, and if possible
regional or State Committee of Action again
guarding against timid or treacherous elements
who are not farmers harmonizing your demands
and rallyng all hands for mass picketing of farm
produce, mass action to resist foreclosures, evic
tions, and for substantial emergency relief in cash
from the huge funds of Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, which now being appropriated
by the Congress for war preparations, be given to
the unemployed and for impoverished farmers.
(d). In order to bring all farmers, no matter
what they produce or where they live turnout the
nation, into one United Front of Struggle, the
United Farmers League recommends to all farm
ers, whether now members of any farmers organi-
zation or not, TO call the meetings and to elect
their own local Committees of Action, and further
to call larger meetings on county, and state scale,
in order to discuss the problems of the toiling
farmers. These conferences should also discuss
about the necessity of holding Farmers National
Relief Conference in Washington at the opening
of Congress, in order to put the demand of inn
mediate relief for all impoverished farmers before
the Congress and all the Federal Government.
Farmers! Let us unite for showdown fight
against those who rob and Cypress usl Let US
depend upon our own force, in alliance with
the city workersl Let us mobolize our trenend-
