THE FLOWING UNDER OF
SOUTHERN FARMERS

The New Deal has dealt heavy blows
against the landless share troopers in the
South, white and especially the Negroes.
1t is driving huge numbers of them off the
land and out of production. In addition,
the Negro farmers are denied all political
and social rights. They are forced to live
as an oppressed nationality, subjected to
semi-slavery by the white landlord ruling
class.
Unity of Negro and white farmers in
struggle is a necessary condition for win
ming freedom from their oppression.

ems to break out any day into another
world war.
The toiling people are becoming more
aware that imperialist war is carried on
only to safeguard and increase the bloody
profits of the banker class. They realize
that it is the masses of workers and farm
ers and their wives and children who suf-
fer death, manning and the destruction of
war; There is growing resistance against
the war danger.
To crush this resistance, the, Roosevelt
government resorts to fascist measures, in
order to be ready to execute its bloody war
plans as a way out of the crisis for the
exploiters.

THE NEED FOR A STRONG
MILITANT ORGANIZATION

In the farmers struggles against rob-
berry and oppression, broad and effective
united front movement can be formed only
under the leadership of a strong militant
organization.
THE UNITED FARMERS LEAGUE
is SUCH AN ORGANIZATION. It has
clear class struggle program, based upon
the interests of the poor, small and ruined
middle farmers, and directed against the
interests of the landlords and rich farm
ers. 1t has already established state or
CARNATIONS in ten states. There are
affiliated to it two other state organiza-
tions, the Michigan Farmers League and
the Ohio Farmers League In addition, the
United Farmers League has members and
locals in many other states.
Several independent organizations such
as the United Farmers Protective Associa-
ton Of Pennsylvania, the Share Choppers
Union, the Holiday Association of Nebraska
madison County Plan), the New England
Farmers Protective Association, and other
local groups, have a program and carry
out actions of a class struggle character.
We invite these organizations to affiliate
with the United Farmers League in order
to consolidate our militant ranks into pow
erful, nationwide fighting organizat ion.

WOMEN AND YOUTH
SESSIONS

Among the worst sufferers of the reb-
berry and oppression of the American farm
ers are the farm women and farm youth.
There will be special sessions for youth
and women at the National Convention to
discuss their problems, formulate a special
youth program of the United Farmers
League, and to work out methods of draw
ing the masses of farm wives more ac-
lively into the struggles for the right to
live.

FASCIST FEATURES IN
THE NEW DEAL

With the masses of workers and farm
ers putting up growing resistance to the
robbery of the New Deal, the government
resorts to force to carry through the So
called voluntary" codes and allotments.
Machine gun and tear gas are used against
workers on strike. Militant fighting farm
ers' leaders like Alfred Tiala, Harry
Lux, and the Walstads are thrown into
Jail. Injunctions are issued against mill
tant farm organizations to make them
illegal, as in the case of the United Farm
ers League in South Dakota.
By various means (Bankhead Bill, etc.
farmers are being forced to reduce their
acreage. Dairy farmers who refuse to sign
AAA milk codes are driven out of the
market with the aid of the leaders of milk
cooperatives who have made these organi-
cation subsidiaries of the milk trust
Secretary Wallace declares that at
least 40 million acres of farm land must
go black to grass" "even if harsh
measures are necessary" And the increas-
ing number of evictions and sheriff sales
are being put through more and more with
the use Of force.
All these New Deal measures to break
the resistance of the workers and toiling
farmers are steps toward fascist rule such
as exists today in Hitler-ridden Germany.

CAPITALIST ROBBERY AND

7ao. ever increasing robbery of the
.s..Y;at class and the last twelve years
.so,rirnItuyal crisis are having devastat-
y effect upon the lives of the toiling
t.,rsrs Especially since the general in
I,s,r;al crisis has been coupled up with the
seIeultural crisis in the past five years
-. The position of the poor and small
t.ymers become unbearable. Even large
.o,tiops of the formerly well-to-do medium
,,o6 farmers are rapidly becoming pauper-
,od The terrible extent of chronic un-
endowment and the repeated wage cuts
suffered by the workers have cut to the
hone their ability to buy the farmers pro-
ducts.
The profit-crazed bankers and mono
lies who control the markets are utilizing
this situation to the fullest extent, and are
having ever lower prices for the products
Of the farmers labor.
This outrageous robbery has driven
over half of the American farmers into
tenantry. Large sections of others are so
deeply in debt that they have been made
merely "housekeepers of finance capital"
The greedy creditors, among them being
the government, are auctioning off the
homes, implements and stock of the impov-
ershed farmers and are evicting them from
their farms.

Hoover created the Federal Farm Board

FINANCING DELEGATES

Upon registering at the Convention,
every delegate will be required to pay a So
registration fee to take care of his upkeep
and the Convention expenses. Organiza-
tons should begin Immediately to raise
funds for financing their delegates, by hold
ing affairs, dances, socials, etc. as we'll as
by taking collections at mass meetings and
asking friendly business people to cor
tribute.
Arranging for transportation requires
well-planned organization Steps must be
taken well in advance to secure autos and

home first in the opening race,
