Beulah, Mich.-Up to the time
when the Farmers National Relief
conference, which met in Wash
-lngton. D. c., Dec. z to 10 was
called little unrest was evident
among the Michigan farmers, es-
pecially against mortgage and con
tract foreclosures.
The fact that ten delegates from
widely scattered sections of Michi-
gan were present at the confer
ence and participated in the adop-
ton of a program for farm relief,
proved however, that such unrest
existed.
RISING TIDE OF PROTEST
On January. Is George Casper
and myself started ON aim orga-
tizing trip along the line of ac-
tion mapped out at the Washing
ton conference. This campaign
resulted in two months in stop
ping directly or indirectly nearly
all of the mortgage sales in five
counties IN which we worked and
many in other sections of the
state. During this time Sears,
ROebuck sales were held at How
ard City, Bad Axe, Ithaca, and
elsewhere, in lower Michigan and
in the upper peninsula.
This rising tide of protest fnom
the farmers and the evidence of
growing unity with the CITY work
ers resulted in a gathering to-
gether of the interest and mort
gage buzzards on a program of
repression and terror against the
farmers and farm leaders.

The producers news., 1933-06-09

Ever since 1925 the working
people of the world have not had
sufficient income to consume the
wheat crops. The carryover of the
four pri" cipal exporting countries,
usually about 300 million bushels,
has now grown to 650,OOO,00O
bushels.
The working people of the
world have been robbed oil
the food from 35O,OOO,OOO
bushels of wheat as "a result
of the crisis for which they
are not responsible but all of
whose miseries they must
bear.
Exports have dropped from 206,-
100000 bushels in 1926 to what
will be about 35,0OO,0OO bushels
for the year ending June 80, 1888.
The drop in exports has been more
than sufficient to overcome the
sharp decline in acreage planted
during the past six years. This
year there were 61,OOO,OOO acres
of wheat sown as compared with
100000 acres I'M 1928.
MOUNTAIN-HIGH CARRY
OVER
Partially as a result of the fall
ing off in exports tha carryover
in the United States has grown
to mountainous proportions. On
June 30, 1923 there was a carry
over Of 124,OOO,OOO bushels. The
next year it was 248,00O,00O
bushels. 1t continued to grow and
last year the carryover was $685.
100000 bushels which was about
half of the crop for that year. The
Department of Agriculture esti.
mates that this year the carryover
will be no less than last years.
The domestic disappearance, u
the amount of wheat consumed In
The producers news., 1933-06-09

does not lock for a sudden
revival of export markets. AL
though steps are under way
to negotiate foreign agree
ments, it is certain that the
European acreage put into
production In the last 10
years is not going to be
quickly curtailed."
The Only outlook that the De-
partment of Agriculture can see
from the new deal is a continual
tion of starvation midst plenty or
stabilized starvation.
STARVATION MIDST
PLENTY
The carryover year from now
is likely to be almost as large as
ever if exports remain at their
present low level. Furthermore,
unless the farmers reduce planted
acreage next year to less than
1888 the Nations wheat crop
would be more than 800 million
bushels. If total domestic dis
appearance continues at about 600
million bushels, this would leave
about 200 million bushels for ex-
port or to add to the carryover.
The present United States carry
over is about $50 million bushels
and there is very little business in
sight to lower it."
Starvation midst plenty Is
to continue under the new
deal unless the workers and
farmers put am end to it. Only
a united front between the
city workers and the farmers
can win a better standard of
living for the working people
throughout the country and
thus secure a market for the
farmers products.

DOORN, February 18.-Wilhelm II,
former Emperor of Germany, reflect
ing in the solitude of his banishment
upon the American discussions con-
cerning technocracy, has arrived at the
conclusion that the technocrats are
wrong in conceding the supremacy of
the machine.
The rule of the machine, he believes,
can and must by international agree
ment and cooperation be broken by the
same human mind which called the
machine into being. Only then can the
problem of unemployment be solved.
The former monarch'S views were
carefully laid down in the form of a
letter written to his lifelong friend,
T. st. John Gaffney of Summit. N. j.
Summed up briefly, Wilhelm II
sees democracy and the problem of
unemployment as follows:
l. Unemployment cannot be cured by
material means alone, for it is "spir-
itual distress"
2. While it is true that the machine
threatens our entire economic life, yet
the mind of man. which created the
machine, will also find ways and means
of effectively meeting the excesses of
technics"
.. Vic CllCCGlfc way VI I1lecGulS uIl-
employment is that of taking indus
trial workers out of the big cities and
away from the machine dominated
factory, and putting them to work at
building streets and canals, or culti-
waiting waste land, or colonizing them"
as small farmers.
4. For the machine, as for business,
certain regulatory laws must be pro-
mulgated $50 that its planless, inorganic
multiplication and use may cease
5. This regulation must come about
'bv international agreement
The former Kaiser also expresses the
belief that, even If the depression were
suddenly to cease and business and in
dustry to advance by leaps and bounds,
the great mass of industrial workers
who were thrown out of jobs during
the depression could not be reinstated
because mechanical development has
meanwhile rendered them superfluous.
The Kaiser's Letter.
His letter follows in part:
"HAUS, Doom, January s, 1888.
my dear Mr.. Gaffney:
In the course of your various visits
to Doom we spoke at various times,
among other things, about the great
economic questions of this critical pc
riod. You are aware, therefore, how
much my mind is occupied with the
problem of unemployment and with
methods of solving this problem. g /"
Even today, II years after the World
War, the peoples of the world are still
divided by deep divergencies. Common
to all of them, however, and differing
only in extent. there rests upon them
the scourge of unemployment, and, as
a result of this unemployment, the ter
rible distress of many millions of human
beings who are capable and willing to
work.
"It is but logical that in our epoch,
characterized as it is by an overestima-
ton of things material. the belief should
prevail that unemployment can be
