depicted as criminals and degen-

is the only cooperative center in
this country whose policy is based
upon the struggle of the poor and
middle producers against the rich.
How can the problems of the ex-
plotted producers be solved? From
the foregoing it is clear that the
present arrangement in the asso-
ton benefits the rich members at
the expense Of the masses of the
poorer members. The only way to
change this situation is for the
rank and file producers to unite
within the association as well as
outside, and fight for their own
interests.
Good examples in this direction
are the recent farmers strikes in
the middle west, where they con-
Quoted militant struggles against
their robbery by the middlemen. A
significant fact in this struggle
was that the city workers under
the leadership of the unemployed
councils helped the farmers with
the pieketing. 1t must be noted
that in this struggle, too, the rich
farmers were against the picket
ing, when lack of it would have
meant the immediate loss, of the
strike by the farmers. Those
leaders who tried to prevent pick
citing were directly betraying the
rank and file farmers interests.
The farmers were not demanding
better prices for their products at
the expense of the consumer, but
the higher prices to come from
the middlemen. We must work
for spreading the exploited farm
ers' struggles for their interests,
and for greater unity with the
city workers.
