AFTER THE BUDGET HAS
BEEN BALANCED

President Hoover issued statement May
28 denouncing the Democratic "relief" proposals
made by Representative Garner. The main part
of Hoover's statement is concerned with denun-
citation of the Democratic measures "gigan-
tic pork barrel" The Democratic and the Repub-
lcan "relief' measures are measures for further
relief for the rich with brutal refusal to provide
immediate relief for the toiling masses. The
struggles of the politicians around these measures
TO which the capitalist press gives so much atten-
ton, are designed to make political capital for the
job hunters of both parties thru most vicious
mOckery of the misery of the masses.
The real program of the Hoover government is
contained in the first sentence of his statement.
"THE URGENT QUESTION TODAY IS
THE PROMPT BALANCING OF THE
BUDGET. WHEN THAT is ACCOM-
PLISHED 1 PROPOSE TO SUPPORT
ADEQUATE MEASURES FOR RELIEF
OF DISTRESS AND UNEMPLOYMENT"
For WHOM is the urgent question today the
balancing of the budget? For the capitalist
class. For them the fact that the budget is out
of balance means that the capitalist state is being
shaken in its foundations. 1t means that the cap
italist state apparatus is not functioning as the
capitalist class would have it.
What is the urgent question facing the toiling
masses of city and farm? 1t is the question of
the necessities of life 1t is the question of ex-
istence.
For Wall Street and its state this is question
Of secondary Importance The question of prime
Importance is the interests of the capitalist class
The lives of the telling masses are secondary to
the interests of the capitalist class.
While Hoover's vicious statement tells the

He proposes that the bankers
of the south get "busy with your
influence and leadership at home"
to force the Hoover government to
stop any further federal loans to
the small farmers and troopers of
the south. He indicated that the
Hoover government was prepar-
ing to carry this into effect inn

the speakers received with TIRE
mendous enthusiasm.
Women and Children Active In
Picketing
In Brush the situation is very
similar to Fort Morgan with eS-
pecially active picketing. There
are a large number of women and
children on the picket lines. In
Brush, one of the local preachers
launched bitter attack on the
strike and also attacked the Com
munists with particular vehem-
ence. He aroused such general
and bitter indignation that he has
been forced to subside.
Greeley is 1000 solid in spite
of continuous propaganda in the
capitalist press to the contrary.
Besides picketing the surrounding
fields they have sent carloads OF
pickets for ten and fifteen miles
around. The relief and evictions
are particularly bad here however
and it is practically impossible to
raise money locally in the beet
fields since the only farmers who
are sympathetic are those that
are themselves starving. The mer-
chants and most townspeople are
tied up with the sugar companies
and big growers.
Misleaders Betraying Strikers
In Fort Collins, the United
Front has had to fight the Span
ish-American leaders who are be-
traying the workers in the most
shameful fashion, opposing the
strike and agitating for depOrta-
ton of the Mexican workers. A
meeting of about $50 was held
there and a sharp attack launched
against the fascist leadership. At
the same time an effort was made
to draw the rank and file closer
into the United Front and union
with the Mexican and other work
ers. Strike committees were
strengthened here and picket

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 16.-There was time when Guy Bush, the Mississippi Mudcat' of the Chi cago Cubs pitching staff, feared city sljckers.
 But now he's city slicker him. self-the kind who makes his money and keeps it.
 No grass has grown under Bush's feet since the day he was vir- tually pushed onto a train and sent to Chicago to pitch for the Cubs.
 He has become one of the bus jet men in baseball-and one of the shrewdest. Between his work as a baseball player he runs a gasoline filling station-and in the rest of his spare time he is schem- ing ana planning other means of replenishment of the Bush cofferS. Feared Gangsters 1 When a Major League scout first discovered the "mudcat' he went into ecstasy. With the usual suave speesn he told Bush of all the wonders of the big city, and Bush agreed to go to Chicago.
 But enroute he left the train, admitting later he was scared to go to Chicago. He had heard of gunmen and city slickers" and would rather not go. After long argument, however, he was pushed on the train again and arrived as one of the greenest looking rockies in years.
 Then presto! He changed from an awe-stricken rookie to one of the flashiest dressers in baseball He became the sartorial envy of his teammates.
 Now Walks in Dark
 He stopped looking for we'll lighted streets to do his walking, grew long sideburns and piloted a hign- powered sports car through the heaviest traffic-meanwhi be- coming one of the stars of the National League.
 Now when the Cubs are in town, you can find the "mudcat" almosr any time at night at his filling station. As soon as the games are over, he rushes away to his business and stays there until the last car has come and gone.
 Greets All Customers
 In true business fashion he greets every customer, spins yarn or two about baseball, gives 'em an inside story" and they always come hack. Result: he has one of the most prosperous filling sta- tions-and one of the flashiest- on Chlcago's north side.
