BY MILTON HOWARD

What are some of the things that
Roosevelt has accomplished since
June, the month in which the NR.A
codes began to be applied?
A short survey Of the results reveals
that the Roosevelt government has
been a government driving all its
energies toward one main objective
the protection and increase Of Wall
Street monopoly profits. The Roose-
Velt Recovery" program has been a
program of recovery" of monopoly
profits at the expense of the workers
and impoverished farmers. Roosevelt
MIRA. solution" for the crisis has
been solution concentrated on in
creasing profits Of the Wall Street
banks and Industrial monopolies, as
well as granting large subsidies to the
big corporations.
Slash in Real Wages
Roosevelt has raised prices. Since
March, the cost of daily necessary
foods has risen Is to "a per cent, bread
by lS per cent, milk by 20 per cent
eggs by "A per cent.
Not only the cost of food has been
sent up, but also the general cost of
living has been sharply advanced
According to the National Industrial
Conference Board, the cost of living
has risen at least 10 per cent since
March. That Is to say. the weekly
wage Of every wage worker in the
United States is now worth 10 per
cent less in its ability to buy clothes
food, pay rent, provide medical care
ETC., etc.
The Roosevelt program since
March has thus effected a 10 per
cent slash in the REAL wages of
every wage worker in the country.
This cut in the REAL WAGES OF
the American working class was &C
complished By the Roosevelt govern
ment mainly through the MIRA
codes and the imitation price-raising
The MIRA. codes held wages down

through speed-up, intensified ex-
ploitation, while the Wall Street mo-
nopolies were permitted to send prices
upward, through direct monopoly
raises, and through infiationary
cheapening of the dollar.

OMAHA, Dec. 1e.-Small farm
ers are finding themselves deeper
in debt than ever before as q re-
suit of the Roosevelt A. A. A. pro-
gram. The latest development is
that as a result of Roosevelt's
price-raising program the small
farmers are finding that they
must pay such increased prices for
farm feed that the results OF their
work is only greater debts.
Roosevelt has raised the price
OF corn to IS cents, while the
price of cattle and hogs, to whom
the small farmers have to feed
corn. are tagging behind due to the
enormous surplus The result
is that only the larger farmers
can even hope to show any results

"The county's invisible transactions

as United States tourist expenditures

S13 week. In the South the NR.B.
laundry code sets minimum Of
S6.42 week.
This N.RA. slash in wages, in addi-
ton to the price-raising slash in
REAL wages buying power, has
permitted the Wall Street nlonopolies
to show enormous increases in profits
since March.
The result Of the Roosevelt pro-
gram can be wildly seen in the fact
that this year, the AS largest Wall
Street monopolies report profits of
$373, 100000; an increase Of over $50
per cent over last yearl
Dividends have been rising accord
ingly. The largest railroads and in
dustrial monopolies are cutting the
latest dividend melons since 1929.
In addition to these enormous
profits, as a result Of the MIRA. code
slash in real wages, the Roosevelt
government has been granting record
breaking subsidies to Wall Street
banks and industrial monopolies.
Huge Subsidies
Within the space Of SIX months,
Roosevelt government has turned
over, or set aside, for monopoly capital
the record breaking sum Of II to Is
billion dollars.
No other government has ever,
within so short space Of time, spent
money so fast for the benefit Of Wall
Street banks, industrial monopolies
and Wall Street loans.
Roosevelt has set aside $1,000 600, 000
for the re-fnancing of farm mort
cages held by banks, insurance COM
panies and investors.
Roosevelt, through the Home Loan
Act, has set aside another $4,000, 900,
900 for the protection of the mortgage
investments of the banks in reSiden-
tial mortgages.
In addition to these bank loans,
the RF.C. has granted to Wall Street
banks, insurance companies. mort
gage companies, ETC., the total OF
$3,543, 9l3,O 600.
OF this enormous sum, Wall Street
railroads and banks have received the
lions share.
Since March, Roosevelt has granted
the Wall Street banks through the
RIG. . total exceeding one billion
dollars, so that not including the re-
