The sufferings of the unemployed during
these last six years of widespread unem-
plOyment and want constitute the most
tragic chapter in the history of the nation.
But not all the hungry children are in the
families of the jobless. Not all the men
and women who need helping hand are
on relief.
That millions of Americans who still
have jobs have been compelled to tighten
their belts while witnessing the sufferings
Of their loved ones has been disclosed in
startling fashion by the Children's Bureau
of the Department of Labor
In study of conditions among TYPICAL
workers families in several representative
cities, Investigators of the bureau discov-
cred that not single family had dollar
except the meager wages of breadwinner
between them and restitution. Savings and
insurance funds are gone, and over three
fourths of the families are in debt for food,
rent and medical care.
Very few of the families are able to pro-
vide essential diets and many of them are
surviving on bread, beans and potatoes
Home life has been broken up. Relatives
and friends are crowded into cramped quar-
tiers, not because misery loves company,
but because many families had been evict-
ed for nOn-payment of rent and had lost
their furniture
Last winter 66 per cent of the families
were unable to buy coal and 60 per cent
owned only the ragged clothes upon their
backs.''
Children had been compelled to quit
school and their parents were unable to go
to church because of their nakedness.
This, remember, is the fate of Ameri-
cans who are still drawing pay checks, OF
what passed for them, in this land of a.
bundance.
Everyone not completely dead to human
suffering must ask himself, What's the an
swer to a situation where people work bu
cannot get enough to eat?
The Children's Bureau says that more
relief is needed to piece out pitiable wages
but that answer does not touch the hear
of the problem.
Of course, these people should not b
forced to suffer, and those who need re
lief should get it without quibbling. Blu
the real and final answer is higher wages
That alone will get us out of this depres

Cats Paw

There is an old fable written by the old
Greek, Aesop, about the monkey who in
duced the cat to claw some hot roasted
chestnuts out of the fire. so the monkey
could devour them; cat not eating sucn
things.
Aesop used fictional animal activities to
wildly illustrate simple points, some times
so hard for folks to comprehend, with great
success.
Now the cat had no interest in hot
roasted chestnuts at ALL but the monkey
did. But the cat let the monkey use it to
accomplish its purpose and he got the
chestnuts out of the fire while the witless
cat got burned paw.
When the writer beholds the small town
business men helping the bankers and their
tools, sell out and dispossess the farmers,
or cut the wages of the workers, he cannot
help but recall the monkey and the cat.
The bankers get the money and the
small business men the burned paw.

The Division of Ethiopia

"The imperialist robbers have evidently
reached agreement on the proper share of
the white mans burden that each is to
bear in Ethiopia" says Jack Weller in the
March of Events" in the New Militant.
The inordinate ambitions of fascist Rome
have yielded in part to the never satisfied
hunger of the British ion,'' he continues
'The Lake Tana region of Ethiopia has
been recognized by MusSolini as sacrosanct
to English capitalism. The English can pur
sue their vast project in the Sudan and
Egypt for the building of a cotton empire
which shall render Great Britain free rrom
all dependence on the United States as a
source of this precious raw material. The
success of this enterprise depends on abso-
lutte control of the waters that give fertil-
ity to the land, the waters that flow from
Laka Tana into the Blue Nile. This was
one of the major interests that Britain felt
to be threatened by the Italian thrust into
Ethiopia. While the gestures at Geneva
continue out of sheer inertia and in order
to present some sort of facade for struc-
ture that has long since crumbled, the real
imperialist solution involving arrange
ments among Italy, France and England
has been achieved" The spoils having been
divided, the growls of the English lion will
subside. English diplomacy will now de-
vote itself, as 1t has been preparing TO do
since the start of the present crisis, to cast
ing all blame on France for the failure to
stop the seizure of Ethiopia by the Italian
army. 'This propaganda will also serve to
merge into justification of more and more
outright diplomacy of alliances in Europe.
Already the writer's are coming the phrase
that will carry the gullible masses over to
the new state of affairs. There will be not
a League of Nations but Leagues of Ma
tions England will enter into such lea
CUES to guarantee the peace in Western Eu-
rope, but not in Eastern Europe where
there will never be peace unless the nations
there are left to work out their own saliva
ton as Sidebotham writes in the London
Times. How hypocritical this is can be
seen in the methods adopted by English CAP
italism to leave alone Russia and the East
of Europe "The British navy is being ex-
banded at breakneck speed, the ornaments
and munitions plants belch smoke night
and day. At the same time England aids
Germany materially and automatically il
its preparations for the attack on the Sow
let Union. Everywhere on the continent
England is planning carefully for the new
and inevitable world war"

John 4. Simpson Letter
To President Roosevelt

much chicken. There was at least a
1t is just as foolish for your econ
omists to say there is surplus Of
meat when there are millions in our
country who do not get meat once
week. When we look at the picture
from a world wide standpoint, there
never was a day in thousand when
there were not millions of people
hungry for bread and meat and suf-
fering for lack of the things that
would feed the hungry and clothe the
naked.
The facts are, Mr.. President, there
are thousands of men, now serving
time in the penitentiaries of this ma
ton for having committed no other
crime except destruction of property.
At a meeting one day last week,
they told me about a farmer who
brought a load of potatoes into town
a few years ago. When they offered
him fifteen cents a bushel for them,
he was angered to the extent of
dumping the whole load into the riv-
er. They arrested and fined him for
destroying his own property.
If destroying property would re-
store prosperity, we should have been
prosperous for a hundred years after
the World war. Three hundred and
thirty billion dollars of property was
just as completely destroyed during
that war as though it had been plac-
ed into one pile and burned to ashes.
Now, your economists think that the
way to restore prosperity is to de-
stroy more property. wish you could
see and hear the people cheer my
criticisms of such an asinine plan OF
restoring prosperity.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
SAILS THE SEAS

With all this going on, Pres.
Roosevelt was vending his way
northward on one of the ravy's
biggest gunboats, listening to the
echoes of cannon in the Near East
and the metallic sound of love-
feast speeches in the Far East.
The presidents neutrality program
may help to keep us otu of con-
flict for a time, he knows. But F.
D. R., being something Of realist
knows that we have financial in
terests in Asia, in Africa, in Eur
ope and South America, and that
a lot of potential plutocrats are
going to have perspi1ing palms if
war makes big profits possible fol-
them.
It's a sure bet that Franklin's
fishing is interrupted every so of
ten with flashes from the state de-
partment. The resolution passed
by the American Federation of La
Dor calling Italy an outlaw nation
and backing the stand of the Lea
que of Nations on sanctions is ;
neat indication of the way Americ;
feels about fighting. The presi
dent is a lover of the ocean bu
he must be impressed by this tim
that most Americans aren't goinl
to get blown to bits in Europe o
Africa or Asia because they'r
worrying about the freedom of tn
seas or monopoly's profits. Mos

Organize and Cooperate


sumers for the wasteful sales meth
DDS of capitalistic business. Coopera-
tive busir ess seeks to avoid duplica-
ton and seeks to consolidate the eff
forts of various cooperative groups.
The profit motive tends to force ON
the consumer inferior products. The
profteer relies on advertising and
sales campaigns to keep consumers in
ignorance and induce them to accept
inferior products without protest.
Dwindling buying powers makes con-
sumers less exacting-they wear poor
clothes, live in poor houses and eat in
ferior food because the profit system
has depleted their buying power. Co.
operative business tends to improve
products of all kinds. No ore connect
ed with a cooperative business would
make a profit because of inferior
goods being sold. 1t operates for SER
vice and satisfied consumers. 1t tends
to make consumers more discriminate
ing and eXacting because It educates
and organizes them.
The cooperative movement is grow
ing by leaps and bounds. There are
two things most necessary to it's ra-
pid development-the first is a bet
ter understanding of cooperative
principles by a great many more peo-
pie. Organization and education is ac-
complishing this more rapidly today
than ever before. The other thing
most necessary is capital with which
to conduct cooperative business enter
prises. Capital is acquired to estab
fish and expand cooperative business
hxv
ing cooperative business. Start small
and grow big. The customers of the
business whether privately owned or
comparatively owned provide the cap
ital of that business. this capital be-
longs to the private owner; in the
case of cooperative business, it Is
owned collectively by the patrons
themselves.
This kind of cooperative capital is
being accumulated bv cOoperators al
over the world. About eighty years
ago, a few poor people in Scotland
saved their pennies and started CO.
operative store. Capital accumula
lions were very slow for many year
because the principles of cooperation
were only understood bv the few
people. Through organization and ed
ucation. thew constantly secured tn

Manager of the Oil DEPARTMENT
Farmers Union Central Exchange

Manager of the Oil Department
Farmers Union Central Exchange
The Farm Holiday Association has
ben active in saving the homes OF the
farmers in Montana that were Jeop-
ardized because of the exploitation
made possible by system OF private
business through which the wealth. OF
the many came into the possession OF
the few, had destroyed the farmers
income to a point where he could no
longer paw his debts. You have issued
a militant challenge to that system
of business. You have said that the
aged and worthy should not be
thrown out on the road. We wish to
congratulate you on the stand you
have taken and wish to cooperate with
YOU in bringing to an end system
of business that accumulates vast
wealth in the possession of a few IN
dividuals and leaves the large mass,
who are the creators of wealth, des-
titute.
The Farmers Union business ac-
Invites are the result of 100000 farm
ers in Montana, North Dakota, Mimi
esota and Wisconsin cooperating to
conduct business for service instead
of for profit. When cooperators estaD-
lish and support cooperative bust
ness, they eliminate the profit of pri-
vate ownership because they substi-
tute collective ownership of business
facilities and capital for private own
ership and conduct business for SER
vice instead of profit.
Anything received through cooper
alton of cooperative business more
than sufficient to cover expenses be-
comes a cooperative saving and is
used either to increase capital for
more collective ownership or is treat
ed as an over-charge and returned to
those from whom it was received in
cash patronage dividends. If all bust
ness was cooperative, there could be
no depression because there could be
no accumulation of wealth in the po-
session of a few people and the
wealth created by the many woulc
be distributed and enjoyed by them
The buying power of the masses
would be sufficient to buy the produc
ton of the masses and there would
be no SURPRISES for which there woulC
not be an effective demand. Cooper
ative business eliminated a grea
deal of waste that is evitable in tn
conduct of private owned bushes
conducted for profit. Desire for pro
fit by private owners creates compe
tition which results in costly an
wasteful duplication, makes necessar
costly and wasteful sales efforts, com
peting advertising and other sale
campaigns confuse the consumers an

WAR LORDS
EXPECT CONFLICT

Nobody in Washington was
very surprised when, a few
weeks ago, Macarthur packed
up his shaving brush and new
puttees and grabbed a boat for
Manila. The PHILIPPINES may be
less directly connected with
Uncle Sam than they were be-
fore their independence bill was
passed by Congress, but you can
be sure that that finger of
Uncle's which is closest to the
japanese empire will wear a
strong metal glOve-even if to
the Outside world the finger
seems amputated.
It's no secret in Washington
that the war lords expect an
eventual conflict IN the Pacific,
and when that day comes, the
independence of the PHILIPPINES
will be only a fiction the most
naive school textbooks will write
about. Actually, Macarthur will
be in charge of the FilipinOs'
armed forces.
