mortgage or life insurance companies or by the
banks. The exploiters demand that if the farmer
can no longer pay them their tribute he must
leave this land which he has made fruitful by end
less years of toll and join the industrial victims
Of the crisis-in the slums of the cities, on the
soup lines, in the slaughter houses of the bankers
and the factory owners.
THIS SHALL NOT BE. 1t is the New Years
resolution of the tOiling farm masses that these
bloody hands shall be stayed. that this shadow of
starvation, misery and death shall not fall the
hOmesteads of the tOiling farm masses
The strike call of the Kentucky miners rings
out for struggle. STRIKE AGAINST STAR
WALTON AND TERROR.
STRUGGLE MUST BE THE ANSWER OF
THE TOILING FARM MASSES IN THIS YEAR.
We must determine that not one farmer shall
be evicted from his farm either thru foreclosure
or sale for taxes The sheriff must be kept from
the farms of the toiling farm masses. The sher-
if must be convinced" by the mass pressure of
the farmers organized in their committees of
lion or under the militant leadership of the United
Farmers League that it will be better for him to
stay away from the farms of the toiling farmers.
By militant action we can force the reduction
of taxes of the most exploited section of the farm
population, the small and middle farmers. We
can prevent the bankers from cutting the budget
by reducing the benefits the toiling farm masses
get out of these budgets. We must prevent this
attack on the living standards of the farm masses.
Only by militant mass action can we, in the
6routh stricken areas, force the federal govern
ment to give the farmers loans for seeding in the
spring, loans without discrimination, and loans
sufficient to raise a crop. We must determine
that we shall prevent the federal government and
its agents, the county agent and the feed loan
committee from using the rejection cutting Of
loans as a club to drive the militant farmers into
submission.
In this year there must be established united
front of the toilers of the farm with those of the
cities in much greater degree than have yet
had. The struggle of the toiers of the farm must
be fused with those of the cities so that against
the attack of the bankers and looters there stands
the iron wall of the masses of toilers, that
the bloody face of the Wall Street exploiters is
smashed by the proletarian fist of the united
masses of the exploited.
On February A, the masses Of the country will
protest and demonstrate in million masses against
the Hunger Program of Hoover, the agent of Wall
Street. In the demonstrations in the cities and
IN the towns the toiling farmers will march side
by side with the toilers of the cities, in solid
ranks, in determined ranks, in million ranks.
These demonstrations will be against the death
program that Hoover has decreed. Death for the
obless, death for the evicted farmers and workers
DEATH THRU HUNGER AND THRU WAR
is HoOvERS DECREE.
STRUGGLE AGAINST HUNGER AND MIS-
cry, AGAINST TERROR AND IMPERIALIST
WAR; UNITED STRUGGLE WITH THE WORK
Frs OF THE CITIES, THIS MUST BE OUR
DETERMINED ANSWER.
In order that this solidarity of the workers and
| the farmers be fused we must rally hundreds OF
thousands of farmers to the United Farmers
League. It is our duty to our class that the small
and middle farmers realize that the United Far
lners League is their fighting leader. The United
Farmers League must show the farmers in every
township in every county, that it can and viii
prevent evictions, that it will force more relie
from the Red (DOuble) Cross in the drouth strick
en- areas, that it viii prevent the reduction O.
taxes being accomplished thru an attack on tn
already miserable living standards of the toiiu,
farmers.
Build the United Farmers League into a might,
organization of the tOiIing farmers. Build tn
United Farmers League for the more bitter strue
giles against capitalist misery that this New Yea
brings with it. Build the United Farmers Leagu
thru struggle for the living standards of the toll
ing farmers, a mighty army IN the strug0l
against starvation and terror.
