"ossotting American
Pogroms" by Spivak
Starts In This Issue

The series of articles, plotting
the American Pogroms," by John
Spivak, well known author and ace
reporter, starts in this issue of the
Producers News.
In his excellent style, Spivak
pictures and gives proof of the
anti-semitic activities of various
patriotic organizations and persons
IN lofty places in government, uni
versities and business. He shows
how these people and organiza-
lions, although appearing to be
very patriotic, are closely connect
ed with agents of Nazi Germany.
He establishes irrefutable proof
that in many instances the anti
semitic activities are nothing but
another racket to fill the pockets
OF its promoters and chief agents.
The articles have caused a SEN
sation wherever they appeared
Through courtesy of the New
Masses the Producers News is able
to present its readers with this
disclosure of Nazi activities IN
this country. Do not fail to read

$442, 994,930 have been loaned
and $70,631, 445 have been paid

out of the nations $50 roads are
unable to pay their interest" says
Jesse Jones, chairman of the RFC.
"That's an unusually good record"
Already several weeks ago, in an
address to the American Bankers
Association, Jones announced the
campaign of again financing the
railroads.
No foreclosures are intended,
RFC officials announce. AS collat-
eral for the huge loans the Re-
construction Finance Corporation

Jones states that the railroads
in default are as follows:M Missouri

It will not surprise any farmer

would blow off the lid. And this
extreme waste is most likely one
prominent reason for cutting off
the relief rolls as many families

its own statements, does not allow

be extended to cover half of the
entire state within the next three
months. Next in turn after the
state capital will be the rural sec
lions of Lewis and Clark county

hope that not only the senator's

One Defect
In reading further the report of
Mr.. Bishop, we unfortunately dis
cover one little defect in the won
derful program. Comfortable and
artistic privies will not be built
on the properties of poor farmers
and workers unless they are able
to pay the expenses, which are in
the neighborhood Of $40. We are
sure, however, that this is but an
oversight on the part of the pro-
motors of the project, for most
/ certainly they have not been able
to overlook the fact that the very
people who are unable to pay the
$50 could use the new toilets ia
the best advantage. We emphas-
lie again that this $40 provision
must be an oversight and nobody
should let himself be led astray
to believe that the relief admins.

ton proved to be their most DOW
erful weapon when 800 farmers
organized by the Farmers Holiday
and the United Farmers League
of Pine county forced the indefin-
lite postponement of a farm sale
by their mass protest on Nov. 9.
Another sale had been scheduled
to take place on Nov. z. A few
days before, however, the growing
mobilization of the farmers to pre-
vent it, forced its postponement.
The farmers of this county are
beginning to know the strength
they possess when they are organ
lied. The unity of the U.F.L. and
the Holiday is being accomplished
in the state, and especially in Pine
county.
After all, it is through our own
mass action that we can win bet
ter conditions for ourselves and
our families.

135 LITTLE PIGS DID
NOT GO TO MARKET

LIBERTY, Mo.-Although there
is already tremendous shortage
of pork on the market and many
millions of unemployed and even
thousands of farmers will not get
to taste pork chops this winter,
the A.A.A. is carrying on its pig
destruction program absolutely
uncconcerned.
The story of how Clay county
farmer was forced by "New Deal''
agents to- kill and burn 1876 per-
feet little pigs because of the re-
strictions of the corn-hog code, is
making the rounds here in this ag-
ricultural community.
Ordinarily, the farmer, Beverly
Petty, a well known local stock
man, would have considered him
self unusually fortunate with his
narrowing sows when he recently
found himself in possession of sew
eral large filters. But he had the
AAA corn-hog code to reckon
with.
"They were the prettiest bunch
of pigs I ever saw" Petty said
Everyone was perfect and each
weighed about 30 pounds. But they
didn't do me any good. l couldn't
give them away and 1 couldn't Kill

RELIEF OFFICIALS
NTERROGATED ON
THEIR SALARIES


When a committee met at the
relief office on Monday presenting
the cases of some farmers who
had been refused relief, we were
told among other things that the
county relief committee had been
thrown on the scrap heap, and our
relief is now run entirely by out
siders shipped in from somewhere
else. The whole crew consists of
E. R. Pendergast, IL case workers
and investigators, besides our local
people who are given the back seat
"a total of 80 persons.
Mr.. Pendergast is supposed to
be the boss and has the title of
relief administrator, but he takes
his orders from Mrs. Cobb, which
might be the safest thing for him
to do as long as they have to
work in the same building.
In our conversation with Mr.
Pendergast, he flatly refused to
give any reason why anybody had
been turned down. We asked a LOT
of questions, some of which follow;
Question: Are we going to get
potatoes and flour shipped in here
Answer: I do not know.
Question: But are you not here
for the purpose of seeing that the
peoples needs are taken care of
Answer: l am here to take in.

under way.
The buildings, neat but not
gaudy, will be erected in places
where there are no sewage con-
nections or septic tanks, Mr.. Bish-
op said. Sanitation will be touch
ed with artistry and comfort, he
explained.
This is certainly most interesting
and should not be looked upon with
doubt and unbelief, and obscenity
would be entirely out of place.
Just imagine toilet with a touch
OF artistry and comfortably equip
ped! What more do the people of
Montana want?
At last the relief administration
IS showing some sense. Privies is
what are needed in this country!
Artistic and comfortable toilets are
one sure way of getting rid of the
depression; if not the economic de-
preston that is lying heavily over
all capitalist countries, then al
least these outhouses will provide
opportunity to overcome certain in
ternal difficulties, morose moods,
etc.
The state relief administration is
going about its work seriously and
systematically and very much ia
the point. This new project shows
considerably more sense than, fol
instance, the project launched by
our county administration this
spring when 5000 trees were plant,
ed at the fair grounds for the
grasshoppers to feast upon. With
the advancement of this newest
new deal" project, even we have
to believe that now we are really
on the road to recovery.
Capital In Greatest Need
Apparently the states capita
has the greatest need for the new
artistic privies. The work Their
is to start Immediately and tn,
entire quota for the city is to b,

lature meets. The reason, O
course, for the speedy tackling O
the project is obvious. And all O

ton, for now with the coming in

Bla1nes Destruction of Farm
Families On The

HARTFORD, Conn. = Henry A.
Wallace, secretary of agriculture,
apparently is unable to make up
his mind. Or is he only trying
to fool the farmers?
Speaking before the National
Grange that met here a week ago,
he defined the course of agricul-
tural adjustment as one of econ
trolled expansion rather than re-
duction."
"To permit a controlled expan-
sion, and also to permit agricul-
ture profitably to produce enough
to tide the country over years of
drought ought to be our objective"
he declared. But at the same time
he is continuing his criminal policy

ers had sPunk enough to ask him.
who was doing the dealing" and
with what cards.
A rather significant statement
he made by saying: Agriculture
cannot survive in a capitalistic So
cietv as a philanthropic enterprise.
If the cry of those who bid our
farmers think of all of those hun
CRY Cinnamon were needed, hun
dreds of thousands of American
farm families would be destroyed"
Friend Wallace could hardly use
any more demagoguery than is in
corporated in this statement. We
never knew that American agricul-
ture was a "philanthropic enter
prise" If it were, there would be
no millions of American families
starving to death, leaving alone
the Chinese. On the contrary, in
agriculture just as in industry and
business under capitalism, til G
small men-and there are plenty
of small farmers-are profitably
exploited by the big fellows, are
pushed against the wall, are
thrown out of business by corpor.
alton farms and spectators. The
bankers and the processing trusts
are swallowing up the profits
while the small and middle farm
ers today are unable to even exc
out meager existence. To cal
this philanthropy" on the part Of
farmers is adding insult to injury
Hundreds of thousands of Am

Should the Changers be unaware

Should they be overlooking tn,
