The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1932-09-16

ricultural states cooperate to
gether in an Ordet'y marketing
organization, using the existing
farm cooperative organizations
and the marketing facilities and
machinery already set uD by
those existing cooperative or
CARNATIONS, and that such cen
tralized cooperative marketing
organization; direct the withheld
ing of farm produce from the
sales market of the world until /
favorable prices can BE- obtained;
market said produces in an Or
derby, manner; provide for dis
pOsal of surplus produce; ana
ultimately provide for control of
the production OF food products
in the agricultural states"
Because the farmers of the coun-
try who have seed and feed loans
cannot pay the governors tried to
show that they were the farmers
friends by Recommending" to Sec
rotary of Agriculture Hyde that
these loans be not collected dur
ing the present emergency" which
is their name for the present
crisis.
CONDITIONS NOT IMPROVED
They recommend immediate
"credit relief to the toiling farm
ers-not to them individually, but
in the manner to which Wall st.
and it's government are accustom-
ed-to a centralized" farmers
cooperative" eff and when" it is
formed.
On not one single issue have the
demands of the impoverished
farmers been met or even APP
preached by these politicians. The
farmers of the middlewest and the
northwest stand now where they
stood before the conference, pro-
ducing for less than cost of pro-
duction, facing foreclosure and
eviction, facing untold misery for
their families and themselves. They
still face the necessity of organic
ing for struggle for their imme-
diate demands.
F. II. A. LEADERS AGENTS OF
BIG BUSINESS
For this assistance to the i'm
poverished farmers the leaders of
the National Farmers Holiday AS
sociation thanked the governors
They, like the governors, are the
agents of the milk and other trust
The Farmers Holiday leaders
were represented before the gov
errors by Milo Reno, insurance
agent, and former head of the
Farmers Union. He submitted a
list of three recommendations to
the governors. The first Of these
called on them to establish an en-
barge until Congress meets. Reno
and the other takers made this
proposal to win the faith Of the
farmers in the governors. The
governors simply rejected Reno's
fake demand.
PASS THE BUCK
On the question of evictions anC
foreclosures the FILA leaders haC
the following to say:
"We recommend to the COVER
nOrs that a moratorium on farm
and chattel mortgage fOreclOs-
ures, executions of liens and
evictiOns from farm homes be
declared, until such times as the
value of farm products equal
cost of production"
They do not speak to the farm
ers but to the governors. And the
) governors simply adopted the sam,
policy as Reno; he passed the is
: sue to them and they passed it tt
Hoover and to the great mortgage
holders. But one and all of then
, has tried to prevent the farmers
from organizing to prevent fore
closures and evictions.
/ NO PERMANENT SOLUTION
, UNDER CAPITALISM
] They tried to get the farmer to
believe that they have an interes
: in permanent solution of his mis-
cry and so in point number thre'
they say:
las a permanent solution of
the agricultural problem we de-
mand that a special session of
Congress be called and the Fra
zier bill be enacted into law, that
an embargo be placed on agri-
cultural products effective until
tariff and other legislation shall
l have been enacted which will in
sure to the farmers cost of pro-
. ductiOn for their products"
b This was done to prevent the
farmers of Iowa and the rest o
the country from learning that
there is no permanent solution pos
sible under capitalism, that the
! most they can expect is temporar,
5 relief, and that only a workers an
