MR.. HOOVER, WHERE IS YOUR
CHICKEN IN EVERY POT?

Organization On Unemployed Relief" And one
OF the circulars of this organization has the
Following to say to the masses of unemployed:
"Other problems press for attention, to pro-
vide for the satisfying use of the free time Of
the unemployed"
And how, do you fellow workers think Mr.
Hoover suggests to use the free time of the UNI
employed? Very simple-Mr. Hoover's admin
istration proposes Educational and vocational
training and recreational activities" Splendid!
Fifteen million unemployed men and women,
with their families, starving, with empty stom-
achs, thrown out on the streets. in rags, are to
be amused by Mr.. Hoover that they should take
up vocational training and recreational activi-
ties. This is cynicism in the face of the starving
millions which can be compared only with the
French Queen, Marie Antonette, Who when she
was informed that the masses of Paris we're
starving for the want of bread, answered. why
don't they eat cake?" Fifteen million unem-
ployed are starving and the problem facing them
is not question of vocational training and
recreational activity" but is a problem of bread
MIR. Hoover, from time to time, also was very
humorous. For instance, he declared on March
8, $780,, according to the dispatch issued by the
White House, as follows:
President Hoover predicted today that the
worst effect Of the crash upon unemployment
will have been passed during the next sixty
days"
1t a long sixty days, wasn't it?--sixty days
to which there Is no end. Hr. Hoover and his
republican administration have proven by their
everyday acts and deeds that they are against
the working class. 1t refuses V:d fights against
unemployment and social insurance 1t refuses
to accept the demands of the great National
Hunger March to Washington in December, 1881.
1t refuses the soldiers bonus. Mr.. Hoover, at
ti11a lie ,yoIo
against the only country where there is no I'M
employment where wages are on the increase,
where socialism is being built. That country is
the USS.R According to the San Francisco
Chronicle" as stated by Marsh, of the
Peoples Lobby, Hoover said:
"The ambition of my life is to crush Soviet
Russia"
Yes, Mr.. Hoover also has plan. You know,
fellow workers. that the Five-Year Plan in the
Soviet Union is tremendous success, so much
SO that Mr.. Hoover, bitter enemy of the Soviet
Union attempts to copy the plan. In his speech
on June II, 1881, in the City of indianapolis
he declared:
81 am able to propose an American plan to
you. We plan more leisure for men and
women and better opportunities for its en-
joyment. We plan not only to provide for all
the new generation but shall, by scientific
research and invention, lift the standard of
living and security of life Of the whole people.
We plan to secure greater diffusion Of wealth,
decrease in poverty and great reduction
in crime. And this plan will be carried out
If VIC just keep on giving the American people
a chance
No Plan Possible Under Capitalism.
The only trouble with this plan is that it does
not work. No plan is possible under capitalism.
The statement of Hoover about 'the American
Of Aug II, 1928 that with the help Of God, pow
erty will be abolished in our land" Poverty and
war, misery and death from starvation is part
of the capitalist system, of which Herbert Hoover
Is chief engineer" at the present time. The
capitalist way out of the present crisis is the
way as indicated by Hoover, by wage-cutS by
reducing the miserable relief that was gotten by
the militant struggles on the part of the masses
of workers, and by planning against the
Soviet Union. This is their plan out of the
crisis.
The working class of America shall fully ex-
anime the record of the Hoover administration.
We must popularize it amongst the broadcast pos
sible masses Of workers and explain the Hoover
program, a program of hunger and war, and in
doing this to point out the way out of the crisis,
as is presented in the platform of the Communist
Party-the revolutionary way out of the crisis,
the abolition of the capitalist system and the
establishment of Workers and Farmers Gov
eminent, and leading to it, by developing strug-
giles for the immediate demands.
We must rally around the standard-bearers of
the working class, the outstanding fighters and
leaders of the employed and unemployed, of the
Negro masses and poor farmers, William z.
Foster, for President, leader of numerous strug-
giles of the working class, and James w. Ford,
Negro leader of the working class, for vice
