Smyth purchased the proper

to keep too much being grown and
thus lowering the price of cotton.
BY raising the price of cotton. goods
manufactured with it will cost more.
This having been accomplished, the
poor people are supposed to pay
higher prices for the cotton commodi-
ties, which in turn is supposed to
raise the poor peoples wages.
So far. in typical New England
industrial center and in typical
southern industrial center I found
that the poor people have not bene-
fitted at all from all this juggling.
The only result has been to raise
the prices OF essential commodities
like cotton products and place them
out of the poor peoples reach more
than they were before. Instead OF
helping them get things it has made
it harder for them to get them.
And this is called government aid
to the poor people"

any other party in England, outside

Yet, this is the only party you at

you admit has for many years be-

You admit the possibility of armed

girding itself for the armed struggle,
Yet you preach to the proletariat
about Jesus, and ethical passion
and faith In the elections, and you
give no word Of advice about how to
meet capitalist violence. The hand
you stretch to the proletariat may
be sincerely offered, but your present
position, Mr.. Murry, makes it dan

by that hand into the waiting terror

the farmer who still owns his own

owned nothing. Before federal re-

pay taxes just threw his hands up
in the air and quit; some tried to
keep fighting with their chins up
