DUNNE BRET MILER... 2: soos veces’ business Manager Advertising rates on application aT The Issue of Farm Relief in American Politics Farm relief dogs the heels of President Coolidge. In the last week it has become clear that the foremost issue of domestic poli-/ tics in the coming presidential campaign will be farm relief. The McNary-Haugen bill will serve as the instrument by which the} attitude of candidates toward this issue will be tested. Political observers admit that the McNary-Haugen bill will come before the nex sion of congress and that it will be passed by both houses. Coolidge, on the eve of his campaign, will be| forced again to declare himself in terms that cannot be misunder- | stood—something all capitalist politicians, and Coolidge especially, | hate to do. ‘ From the agricultural sections comes news of the rising tide of revolt. Lowden of Illinois, the gentleman-farmer-banker, who is the chief rival of Coolidge at present, is making hay while the sun shines these hot July days. Montana and Wisconsin republi- cans seem to look favorably upon his candidacy and two states at this early date are not to be sneered at. The Coolidge vacation has been ruined. | Banking on good crops to allay discontent, Coolidge confronts a period of falling prices for farm products and the inevitable con- tradiction between huge crops and the ruin of those who raise them. The advocacy of a high tariff on farm products no longer fools the farmers. They know at last that it is not competition at home that is causing trouble but competition in international markets —law cost wheat from other countries displaces American grain| which is no longer grown of immense areas of free land. Mortgages have long ago sunk the homestead and the interest | charges must be paid out of the crops.

In order to prevent this crime, the proletariat and the opprssed of the whole world must rise | in singleness of purpose. | * * * It is the old tradition of the foreign and military policy of the British bourgeoisie not to pursue its own} ends with its own means, but at the cost of foreign property and with/the help of foreign blood. Ever since the | Napoleonic wars capitalistic Great Britain has always concentrated its} attention chiefly upon that country | which it regarded as next to itself; in point of power and consequently as its greatest opponent. Against } this country it. has then constantly | sought by means of hypocritical slog- ans to incite as many other countries possible to join in the fight. As as possible it has held itself in| reserve, saving its strength for the| moment to come when the booty should be divided and preparing to | late and break the instruments of | |its policy.
