The American Guardian and the
Abb Of the "NeW Deal"

THE AMERICAN GUARDIAN displays prominently in it's
December 1st issue a story entitled "NRA Is Being
Undermined By Insiders Oscar Ameringer it's Socialist
editor, has editorial which strikes the same note
The aim of this story to clear Mr. Roosevelt of all re-
sponsby for the vicious attacks against the living stan
dards of the workers and farmers made by the New Deal
The American Guardian would have believe that all our
grief due to chiseers and to few dishonest admnsra
tors who reacherous to the President and his Ideals
This might be expected where newspaper such the
American Guardian starts with the position that the New
Deal s in the right direction one is so foolish to e
pec-or dishonest to pretend to epect-rea relief
for farmers and workers to voluntarily from Wall
Street government then inevitable that he should wind
up prasng the head of the Wall Street government and
blaming all it's vciousness and brutality the small fry
the aces who merely carry out the bidding of the head
This is the abi which the big banker-owned press
already making for Roosevelt and other heads of the Wall
Street The President himself has pushed the
abb for all it WORTH and his radio speeches have fairly
burned with his indignation against chsers and carpng
critics."
No illusion could be dangerous to the workers and
farmers than this Roosevelt Wallace the Wall Street
Gang like Raskob Asto and the capitalist press count
ing this illusion to prevent the workers from recognizing
the real character of Mr. Roosevelt and the Wall Street gov
eminent They holding to the fond hope that this
sb will keep the workers and farmers quiet and slow down
the rising tide of strikes and struggles which The militant
tolers are leading
Mr. Roosevelt and his henchmen doubt, deeply
grateful to Mr. Amernger of the American Guardian for
passing on this ab to the workers and farmers who read
his paper. Mr. Ameringers paper is looked in many
quarters radical paper because of its friendly attitude
toward the Soviet Union
It's reputation for radcalism may lead many farmers
and workers to accept this ab from the Guardian where
they would in outright capitalist paper How
ever no paper which gives its support indirectly to
Wall Streets vicious "New DEAL be justly regarded
radical In this role it is misleader and differs from the
outright capitalist press only having reputation for rad
calism.

81 don't defend Communism, which
does not need my defense. l am
defending myself as a Commun-
ist."
Reichstag Fire Guilt
The issue at stake in the last
week at the trial was whether or
not Communists were preparing an
armed uprising at the end of Feb
ruary and whether the Reichstag
fire was meant to be a signal for
this instruction.
Several witnesses were brought
from concentration camps to tes-
tify against the accused, in the
expectation that the months Of
torture and hardship had broken
their Communist spirit. Without
exception their testimony support
ed the contention of Dimitroff
that the Communists were prepas-
ing for defense against the Nazi
storm troops.

lowable by the regulations for the
two loans"
The Stock Will Strave
However, the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration has decided to be big
hearted. According to Paulson,
"the regulations being slightly
flexible, the examiners in our Of
flee decided that they might
stretch the amount for which your
application might be approved by
a few dollars Your applioa-
ton was then approved for $S5
instead of $685."
After interest was deducted, a
check for the remainder was sent
to Mr.. Grantham. The amount, as
any farmer can testify, will keep
these seven head of stock alive
for not more than a month. I'm
less MIR. Grantham can dig up feed
somehow or other, the stock must
die.
But this doesn't concern the
government. AS matter of fact,
it fits in very nicely with the
Roosevelt Wallace program of
crop destruction.

The Struggle
for Negro Rights

In another section of this issue
is published excerpts from the
Manifesto of the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights" This
struggle of the Negro workers ann
of the Negro farmers is the fight
of all Of US.
We of the United Farmers
League do s.ot support the ques-
ton of Negro rights merely as a
moral obligation. We realize our
struggle in behalf of the most OPP
pressed section of the population
the Negro tenants and share-crop-
pers of the South, is a struggle
in behalf of our own everyday in
terests.
Society under capitalism is not
only divided into two opposing
groups = the robber class and the
mass of workers and farmers; but
the groups are subdivided into
strata. We have impoverished
middle farmers, small and impov-
erished farmers, and farmers that
are just about destitute. The Ne
gToes are on the very lowest rung
of the economic ladder. One stra-
ia rests upon another strata. If
we were to help, or to allow, the
boss class to keep destitute Ne
groes down, it would mean that
the poor white farmers will con-
tinue to sink down to the level of
where the Negroes were and all
small and middle farmers would
sink down correspondingly. If, or
tho other hand, the Negro share
} troopers can forge upward, it vii
mean a raising of the entire work,
ing farmer population to a higher
standard.
The moral obligation derives IL,
force from economic necessity.

A Farm Strike
Can Be Won

We know, because it has been
done. The milk strike on the Me-
saba Iron Range, in northern
Minnesota, lasted only a week.
The farmers won their demand
a raise in the price of milk from
about $1.35 per hundred pounds to
$1.75 per hundred pounds, a $50
raise in price to the farmers and
no raise in price to the city con-
sumers.
This strike was won because
there were no high salaried lead
ers to befuddle the farmers; one
leader calling off the strike, an
other saying to continue the
strike. There was no Milo Reno,
nor a John Bosch to confab with
governors; no talk about giving
Roosevelt or congress a chance.
Under the leadership Of the Unit
ed Farmers League the farmers
conducted militant picketing and
directed the strike themselves
through their own elected commit
tees.
Due to the effects of strikes
that have been lost because OF
the treachery of misleaders) many
farmers have got the idea that 8
strike, especially a local strike
cannot be won. But here is proof
that strike can be effective ever
on a local scale. OF course from
this we cannot jump to the con
clusion that every strike can b,
won if properly conducted. Thi:
Instance does, however, indicat.
the possibilities of success. L
shows, once again, what can b,
done through firm, decisive, unit
| ed mass action of the farmers.

0. Grantham's Loan Won't
Keep His Stock Alive for
More than One Month

The milk trust recently proposed
as a solution to the problems of
dairy farmers ITO kill every third
cow" The federal government re-
fused to comment on the propo-
sition.
All the time, however, the gov
eminent had its own method of
getting MD of surplus cows
and Surplus" farmers as well.
Shooting every third cow may be
taken up by the government in
the near future, but for the pres
ent the government is putting over
its program of cattle destruction
through one of its most powerful
agencies, the Farm Credit Admin
istration.
Here is an example of how it
works:
Otto Grantham, a farmer near
Raymond, Montana, filed with
the Farm Credit Administration
an application for a feed loan of
about $85. For collateral Gran
than testified that he owned three
cows over three years, one be-
tween one and two years, a brood
sow and two black geldings. Ev-
cry farmer knows that with feed
prices what they are $85 isn't any
too much to carry this stock
through the winter.
Gets Loan of $35.
In a little while Otto Grantham
received an answer from L. J.
Paulson, manager of the Crop
Production Loan Office at Mime
apolis informing him that his loan
had been approved for THIRTY
FIVE DOLLARS only. The reas-
on for the small amount was given
in a pencilled notation: Previous
mortgage not paid"
Otto Grantham demanded an
explanation of this and he receiv-
ed a reply to the effect: "You
have a previous feed loan in the
amount of $50 which must be de-
Quoted from the amount of your
application in order to comply
with feed loan regulations"
From this Grantham concluded
that the government had taker
$50 from his $85 loan and retired
his first mortgage. Thereupol
Mr.. GTantham demanded the re
turn of his papers on the frs
mortgage.
But no, this could not be. Pos
sibly Mr.. Grantham is just
simple farmer and can't under
stand the devious ways of govern
ment experts. Mr.. Paulson ex
planned, somewhat inpatient,
now, that the money was not de
Quoted from the loan, But that tn
loan was whitfield down exactl
by the amount of the Outstandin
feed loan.

this amount $50 which Is, the 6
