To the DAILY WORKER—At pres- and more attention to the exploitation of agriculture, it is worth while to ob- serve what measures the farmers will take to meet his ever increasing dif- ficulties. Big capitalism has been so busy in exploiting industry that ex- ploitation of agriculture hds been partly overlooked. In the past it has taken place more indirectly in the form of exploiting the farmer in selling his products and buying his necessi- ties. But today in addition to the growing intensification of this form of exploitation, finance capital has got the farmer securely in its iron grasp. After World War. Undoubtedly the world war present- tal to extend and strengthen its stranglehold on the farmer. The fatm: ers everywhere fell victims to “the well organized;propaganda conducted by his exploiters during the war, to expand his investments and farming operations during the period of in- flated prices. As this expansion was almost completely carried out by short time credit, when the loans be- came due the bottom of the prices of his products had dropped out. ~This method bankrupted thousands of well to do farmers, let alone the weaker. ones. During the past few «years .over 2,000,000 farmers have lost their be- longings and life time savings as a result of this ruthless exploitation. The remaining ones are fighting a losing battle, driven to desperate ef- forts by the threatening downfall. “But the more he owes the harder he and his family works,” is the way the bankers put it. The mortgage, has proved to be a more effective weapon than the whip in the time of chattel slavery. It is to the bankers’ interest that the framer struggles, hard. Must Wipe Out Small! Farmer. “The farmer is still following the bdnkers’ advice to produce big crops a8 the only way out. He is yet un- aware of the existing economic condi- tiohé that are bringing his inevitable downfall. The course of capitalism is fidt tO save the small farmer. He is an obstacle on the road of progress of “éapitaligm, and it denfands his @limination. The time is near at hand when he will be divorced from his present means of production and will help swell the proletarian class. In political intelligence the farmer is yet the most backward of all the producing class.

E. H., Frederick, So, Dak. To the DAILY WORKER: I want to answer the complaint of J. M. George about the use of the terms “master class” and “slaves.” If-Comrade George has been reading the literature of the class struggle 45 years, and has kept posted in re- gard.to the events and developments of that period, it looks as if he ought to be dissatisfied with the very tame and inadequate words that are used fo describe the infamous arrogance and cruelty of the master class on one Hand, and’ the disgusting servility and patience of the slave class under the lash, ¢ The words master and slave are not strong enough. The class war cannot be waged with reign or polite diction. Drugged and hypnotized sleepers cannot be roused to action by a gentle suggestion that their house may be on fire and per- haps it would be well to remonstrate with the incendiaries who are robbing and murdering directly and indirect- ly*fo¥ no purpose but to glut their crhélty ‘arid to make themselves the ufichalléfiged masters of the entire working’ class—Sarah F.
