why HAS MILO RENO CALLED
A SECRET HOLIDAY LEADERS
CONFERENCE FOR SEPT. z!

sent out by Milo Reno on Sept from Desoines Iowa.
the inner circle of the farmers National Holiday Association
leadership In this private communication he has called
these Holiday leaders for secret conference at DeS Mone
on Sept. %.
This letter and the Sept % conference the first
step tack by Reno to fool the farmers into CON
TINUED SUPPORT OF THE NEW DEAL ADMINISTRA-
TION.
Reno finds new tack necessary because Farmers
erywhere disguised and in majority OF cases. hopeless
relief unless pressure be brought to bear upon the
power control This is the way he expressed it in this
confidential letter In order to head off these farmers Reno
is preparing for hypoc1ca attack on the Roosevelt adj
mnistratlOn.
The UNITED FARMERS LEAGUE and it's
official organ the PRODUCERS NEWS, have ex-
posed the New Deal just another Wall Street
maneuver ever since the Democratic program was
adopted over year ago.
What has Milo Reno done? Hereare his own
words. Mark them well!
Reno helped to convince the American farmers that
Roosevelt would bring them a New Deal
'It was largely through the education made
possible by the Farmers Holiday Association that
President Roosevelt received almost unanimous
vote in tn eeectiOn of 1882, said Milo Reno in the
Holiday News for May, 1888
At that same time in May Reno used the New Deal to
camoufage his betrayal of the nationwide strike decided
by the Holiday Association itself From the May issue of
the Holiday News we take the following:
''The Farm Holiday movement has, once again
turned its face to Washington and again confirmed
its faith in the power reSOurcefunesS and vision of
President Roosevelt.
"The Farm Holiday movement :. will not en-
barrass the administration. We believe that PreS
dent Roosevelt will bring about a better arrange
ment. There are symptoms of relief. We
all helping the President to find proper place for
in the setup'
And in the June issue Milo Reno discovered that mo
other President the United States so forward
and important and ENCOURAGING position in the car
rying out of mems affairs since Lincoln signed the enamel
patton proclamation
On July "a, George N Peek, Administrator of the Ag
rcultural Adjustment Act made regular New Deal propa

house organ dated July 1885, fR PEEK IS N PERFECT
HARMONY WITH THE HOLIDAY ASSOCIATION FROM
IT'S BEGINNING"
Speaking about another member of the Roosevelt adj
inisration Secretary Wallace Reno declared in the Hoi
day News of June in editorial note to of Wallace
DRESS THAT HE (WALLACE) WILL BE THINKING
AND SPEAKING FOR THE FARMERS AROUND THU
CABINET TABLE"
The tune has suddenly changed Reno in his confiden
ta letter his personal friends in the Holiday
writes about Wallace as follows:
Secretary WaIlaces base betrayal of the
farmers who trusted him and the inhumanity of
the program which he is responsible for has, in my
opinion destroyed any future possibility for service
through him."
What is the meaning of this change of phrase by Reno
Has he changed his program? Nothing could farthe
from the truth.
Reno has changed his phrases not his policy He ha
changed his phrases because the farmers turning ava
from the New Deal propaganda
Reno has attacked Wallace-but he has not attacke
Roosevelt he has not attacked the New Deal This is ben
done to hide the fact that Waace program Roosevelt
program, that Walaces program is the New Deal Rer
wants to maintain the faith of the American farmers
Roosevelt while longer, and out with an attack
of the chief members of the Roosevelt administration
order to conceal his secret support.
AS the struggle of the American farmers develops v
expect further development of Reno's program
will then attack Roosevelt in order to lay the basis for
new third party of Wall Street This Is of the hide

For the time being Reno is trying to follow in the foo
