HULL URGES FARMERS
TO BACK IMPER|AL|ST
DRIVE FOR MARKETS
Admits 80 Percent Face
Hunger in Capitalist
Countries

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. TO-
The principle of destroying agri-
cultural crops to raise prices, and
the organization Of the biggest
farm landlords behind program
of imperialist expansion for foreign
markets. were the keynotes sounded
today in messages delivered by
Roosevelt and Secretary of State
Cordell Hull to the convention of
the Farm Bureau Federation now
in session here.
In a specially relayed telephone
message Roosevelt re-affirmed the
A.A.A. program of acreage-reduc-
ton, stating that the welfare Of the
farm producer depended upon lad
justing the total production to the
market that actually exists"
Hull admitted that in this coun-
try, as we'll as throughout the CAPT
talist world, the policies of the gov
ernments in the crisis have brought
probably 30 per cent or more of
the people around or below the
poverty line"
Roosevelt boosted of the billion
dollar increase in farm income, re-
sulting from rising prices and
A.A.A. subsidies. But he failed to
point out that this increase has
been wiped out by even greater adj
vances in the cost of manufactured
goods that the small farmers have
to buy, as we'll as the fact that
the lions share of this increase has
gone only to the larger landlords,
who could afford to reduce their
acreage in return for government
subsidies, and the banks and other
mortgage holders.
Urges Imperialism
Secretary Hull urged the as
sembled farm producers to become
more foreign trade conscious" thus
calling upon the farm population
TO solve it's difficulties by support
ing the Wall Street program of
imperialist drive for new markets.
Hull told of the Roosevelt policy
of reciprocal trade agreements
where American exporters bargain
with other countries for quotas Of
exports and imports, declaring that
this country's exporters should set
themselves as a goal the winning of
Is to 20 per cent of the worlds
trade, now shrunken more than 60
per cent by the ravages of world
CAPITALIST crisis.
In this way, Hull sought to fix
the blame for the poverty and
devastation in the countryside on
the other countries, melting the
farmers to a spirit Of imperiahst
jingoism, in order to divert atten-
ton from the misery resulting for
the small farmer from the Roose-
welt A.A.A. acreage-reduction pro-
gram.
"In the present low state of agri-
cultural prices and of world trade,
Hull stated, sit is especially i'm
portant to develop foreign trade
Trade in Latin America
Hull then described the working
out of this imperialist policy as it
affects Latin America, where Amer
lean imperialism is meeting with
more and more serious competition

RICHER,

UNDER N.R.A.
Big Incomes Soar While
Small Ones Drop, U. S.
Report Shows

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - The
number of million dollar incomes
more than doubled, the profits of big
corporations jumped IS per cent,
while the incomes of all groups be-
low the $4,000 level dropped sharply
as a result of ten months of the
Roosevelt New Deal, it has been re-
vealed by statistical survey Of the
national income just published by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Blasting the whole structure of
the Roosevelt ballyhoo about the
wider distribution of the national
income" the official government re-
port shows that the Roosevelt New
Deal has only speeded up the proc
ess of placing the lions share of the
national income into fewer and few
err hands through a slashing of all
small incomes and a concentration
Of wealth and income in the hands
of the biggest capitalists.
rs More Make Million
This is made clear by the follow
ing figures in the survey: the num-
Der of millionaires, that is, persons
receiving more than 100000 a year
income, rose from the time of
Roosevelt's election and the begin
ming of the New Deal up to the mid
die of 1888 from 20 to IS; these mil
lionaires benefited by the New Deal
to the extent that their income dur
ing this period rose from $4,000 900
to $81 $4,000.
While the number of rich ex-
panded, the sweep of unemployment
reduced the number of persons in
the lower income brackets as foi-
lows:

we call upon you, women toll
ers of hand and brain, of all
political convictions, to come
to the assistance of the vic
Tins of fascist terror in
Spain!'
This is the call to the
women of the world made by
the wives and mothers of VIC
tins of fascism in Europe and
America: Dimitrova, mother
of George Dimitrov, whose
other sons have fallen victims
to the fascist terror in Bull
garia, Alma Terracini, wife
of the prisoner in Mussolini's
jail, Nine. Vuille min of
France, Frau Steiner of Ger
many and Frau Muennich-
reiter of Austria.
Mrs. Ada Wright, mother
of Roy and Andy Wright, two
of the Scottsboro boys, also
subscribed to the appeal as it
was issued through the Inter
national Labor Defense here,
which is leading the struggle
in America in defense and for
material aid to the victims of
fascist reaction in Spain.
The appeal is addressed to
the toiling women of all coun-
tries:
eve, the mothers, sisters,
wives and daughters of the
toilers who have fallen in
struggle in the countries
where fasclsm has developed
it's wild offensive" they write,
eve, whose dearly loved hus-
bands, sons, fathers and
brothers are suffering in the
prisons and concentration
camps, call upon you for soil
darity with the fighters in
Spain.
"In the Hitler jails, in the
accursed islands of Mussolini,
in the Pilsudski dungeons, in
the prisons of Hungary, the
Balkan countries and Austria
where Thaelmann, Gramsci,
and Rakosi are imprisoned,
there are hundreds of thou
sands of other suffering pro-
letarian fighters.
eve must unite all our
forces, we must show resist
ance to the bloody offensive of
fascism, we must hasten to
the aid of the victims of bour-
geois reaction. Too much blood
has been shed; there have
been too many victims. 1t is
our duty to fight.
"The International Red Aid
(world body of which the I.
L. D. is the American section)
is already conducting a world
campaign of relief for the
victims of Spanish fascism,
for the heroic fighters of AS
turias, Catalonia and the Bas-
que Province, who so bravely
fought in the towns and vii
lagos, supporte d by their
wives and children.
eve, who are still weeping
over the death or imprison-
ment of our dear ones, stand
in the front ranks of this
campaign of solidarity with
the Spanish fighters. The
cause for which they fight is
our cause. The struggle for
the liberation of the many
thousands of prisoners in
Spain, and solidarity with
them, is our duty on level
with the struggle for the lib
GRAFTON of our relatives.
"Let us support this cam
paign, and mobilize our forces.
All of lis, women proletarians,
workers, unemployed, farm

tuals-we must all develop
tireless activity, become tire

NEW YORK.--A telegram was re-
celyed yesterday by the Daily Worker
from Tom McKenna, secretary OF the
Chicago League Against War and
Fascism, simplifying his report of the
Chicago demonstration in solidarity
with the Austrian workers, which was
published in last Fridays Daily
Worker. The text Of McKenna's wire
follows.
II wish to correct the impression
gave in my letter to the national Of
flee Of the American League Against
War and Fascism, an excerpt Of
which was carried in Fridays Daily
Worker.
1.-THE Socialists did not sit while
singing the Interna lional. My letter
was hastily written, and confused
two thoughts. I was greatly disap-
pointed that the Socialist workers
had allowed themselves to dilute the
spirit Of protest against the Austrian
masses by accepting the park benches
especially provided for the demon
stration. However, the rest Of the
letter Is an accurate report.
THE League initiated united
front protest demonstration, and APP
pealed to the Socialist executive to
support 1t. They refused, and later
