Pan American Congress
Shelves Talk Of Debts

the congress to shelve discussion of
debts.
The Mexican finance minister's
proposal for a six-year moratori-
UNI on debts was the occasion for
this decision.
One of the ways in which the
American banks and industrialists
exercise control of the Caribbean
and South American countries is
by loaning the governments huge
sums of money, in return for
which they are given almost com
plete control of the country's fl
nances.
In many Caribbean countries
! the United States financial advisor
is the most important official in
the country. His busiress is tc
see that the debts of the Ameri-
can bankers are paid off first be-
fore any of the money collected
as customs duties or taxes is used
! for the benefit of the people liv
ing in the country. Such situa
ton has naturally aroused the re
sentiment of the workers and peas
ants in the exploited countrie;
whose taxes are used to pay the
4 American bankers.

Claims a Lot

CHICAGO, Ill., 1--WE seem to
be on our way" President Rooss-
welt said in a statement to the

look" He did not refer to the
confession of his own Department
of Agriculture experts, released
November z, which said that a
large majority of farmers would
be able to get only "the bare es-
sentials of living"
Money is getting into the
hands Of the people who need it,
it is coming from higher prices
for the things farmers have tt
sell; it is coming in the form Of
government checks for those CO
operating producers who are will
ing to swap a hazardous presen'
for immediate improvement and
stable future.
"This money is paying bills; /
is putting men back to work Il
the cities producing the thing
that farmers buy and enablinl
those men in turn to buy thing
that farmers produce"
The program already has begu
to affect the wheat growers, b
I claimed and said that the cor
: belt soon would begin to exper
ence it from the corn-hog adjus
ment campaign.

tary OF Agriculture TugWell.
President Roosevelt will not
permit Mr.. Peek to leave his adj
ministration, however. 1t was the
president himself who first ap-
pointed Peek. 1t was Peek who did
much of the work in doping out
the allotment plan. Moreover,
Peek is the closest link between
the big food manufacturers and the
Department of Agriculture. For
these reasons, Mr.. Roosevelt is
anxious to keep Peek within his
official family.
Accordingly, the president has
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1933-12-15

offered Mr.. Peek the job of car
over the agricultural exports. It
will be Mr.. Peek's job to make
agreements with foreign coun-
tries, selling them American agri-
cultural products and taking in re-
turn shipments of liquor or what
ever else they have to offer.
This is in line with the Roose-
welt administrators policy to n
tensify the fight for foreign mar
kets, especially for agricultural
products, in order to make profits
for the big middlemen and specu-
lators.
There is a rumor that Clyde
King, car of milk administration,
will also be removed. The appoint
ment of King, an open tool of the
Milk Trust, was rOundly protested
by dairy farmers throughout the
country and the protest has never
subsidized. King will no doubt re-
turn to the ranks of Big Business,
as did Charles Brand, formerly CO.
administrator of the AAA and
head of the fertilizer trust, driven
out of the administration by the
protests of the farmers.
Those newspapermen who have
interviewed Mr.. Peek have always
recognized him as just about the
most brazen, barefaced defender of
Big Business in the administration.
He has been engaged for some
time in drawing up codes for the
food industries allied to agricul-
ture. In every instance, he ASs
stuck up for bigger and 5eSter
profits for the manufacturers, for
protection of the rich farmers, and
has let the small farmers and tbs
worker-consumers go hang. Hs
has delayed those codes drawn NJ
e by others which did not give the
e manufacturers and middlemen
i what, in his opinion, was a lsrgS
y enough profit.
