this Starvation program. They are
cutting relief to the bone. Favori-
tism is practiced extensively. They
are using theM offices for their
own personal economic security
while farmers and workers in the !
state and county are becoming |
more and more desperate, unable
to feed themselves, their families
and their livestock.
Only organized mass pressure so
far has forced these officials to
come across with the little relief
the farmers and workers have been
get ing. The Communists have
been and are instrumental in or
ganizing this mass pressure to
force relief.
The county officials have done
, nothing to relieve the drought
situation. Organized protests OF
farmers have forced the federal
government tc recognize Sheridan
J county as secondary" drought
: area and only through organized
mass action will Sheridan county
be recognized as a first class
! drought county and will receive
} +be full benefits of federal drought
relief.
n County officials admit that they
: "don't know what to do" The
: democratic and republican parties
will very likely again come Tor
l ward with plenty of rotten pro
e misses. But their task to fool the
people is harder than it ever was
before.
