Fraudulent Political Capital
GAN EDITORIAL)

All along, but especially now just before cleo
ton, the Roosevelt administration has been irving
to make political capital out of the money sent to
farmers as allotment payments or as price for
their cattle sold under the cattle buying program.
All over the country in every county and town
snip, big and small politicians Of the democratic
party are Boosting about "the huge sums of money"
Roosevelt has given to the farmers
Democratic politicians are pointing to the
Roosevelt relief administration and try to show
how much better lit is done now than it was
done under the Hoover regime They are pointing
to Hoover and his party as the big reactiOnarieS
and with pride they claim Roosevelt as the big
humanitarian, the liberal and his party as real
progressive party
Many people are surely getting fooled by these
boasts. But those who are able to see farther than
their noses will clearly recognize what is behind
this liberal and progressive administration
Only week ago. Donald Richberg outstand-
ing Brain Trust member, RoOsevelts right hand
man and present chief of the MIRA declared in
speech when he was defending administration
measures against critics. that if the Roosevelt gov
eminent would not be so Liberal with funds
revolution would be caused within 80 days
Of course the democratic Statesmen" and
county politicians not interested in giving this
statement its logical Interpretation. They are not
interested in explaining that it is the first task of
the Roosevelt government to keep this insane svs-
tenn OF starvation in the midst of plenty functionng
at all costs They do not state that money is spent
Tor relief only to keep workers and farmers quiet
so that they may not turn against the very small
minority who rule this country for their personal
benefit and profit. And where is this money com
ing from anyhow if not from the workers and the
farmers?
But Richberg's statement proves something
else 1t points to the fact that only the militant
struggles of workers and farmers all over the coun-
try have made the Roosevelt administration realize
that an extensive relief program has to be execut
ed if this system of profits and exploitation is to
be preserved for the time being And whenever
the workers and farmers relax in their struggle
the Wall Street executive committee at Washington
Is always ready to cut down relief to cut out the
few concessions forced off of them by struggle
Right now the democratic administration be-
ieves that farmers have been receiving too much

This Years Wheat
Crop Lowest In 40
Years, Is Estimate

WASHINGTON.-A wheat crop
of 496, 982,000 bushels was estimat-
ed today by the department of
agriculture, a crop lower than
the one in 1893 when the popula-
ton of the United States was a.
bout 100000, less than half of
what it is today.
The average annual production
during the five years, 1927-31,
was 886,OOO,OOO bushels. {
The report estimates that the
total of wheat stocks on farms on
Oct. was 34,284,OOO bushels. OF
All percent of last years crop.
According to the report this
years corn crop is the lowest in
40 years totaling 1,416,772, 900
bushels. Last years crop reached
a 'otal of 2,S44,OO0 bushels.
These results show that drought
and AAA worked together beaut-
fully and Franklin D. Roosevelt
ought to be satisfied with this re-
cord of food destruction, never
achieved by any administration ii
history.
