It shows that only capitalism carries on Soviet exports | implements for instance are prohibitive. the poor farmer buys these implements he in- tensifies-the strangle hold of the mortgage banker on his income. If he does not buy them his products are kept back by his more backward methods of production, and his in- come suffers from the lower prices inevitably caused by the introduction of more efficient | methods.

After having admonished the Rus- sian people that only productivity will save them he added that “production is conditioned upon . . . the recognition by firm gfuaran- tees of private property.” Here we have the genesis of the dumping, fable. The Russian people are giving an example of how produc- tivity can be developed without “firm guaran- tees of private property.” And that happens finitesimal in comparison with the total im-| ports of these necessities in the United States (slightly over 1 per cent). It clear tha there is no Soviet dumping of lumber from the| point of view of quantity; there is certainly no dumping from the point of view of price; neither is there any dumping from the point} |of view of quality. The only dumping notice- able is that of anti-Soviet poison thrown upon is viet imports of lumber and “pulp- wood ‘are in-| VII.

But it needed the progress States are being changed into tenants or crop- pers, or are driven off their farms entirely. In that case they swell the army of unem- ployed in the industrial centers. What does the capitalist government do to help? It feeds the farmers with propaganda about Soviet of the Five Year Plan of the Soviet Union ¢o supply the American capitalist with an excuse —Soviet dumping. The capitalist gentlemen of the U. S Government are surely under- estimating the intelligence of the American masses of farmers if they expect them to be- dumping. The United States Department of |lieve that the farmers went bankrupt in 1924 Agriculture cries “Soviet Dumping’; the U. S. Farm Board affirms this cry; all the big and little capitalist dogs yelp “Soviet Dumping”: and finally the capitalist newspapers echo all | this propaganda with their cries of “Soviet | Dumping.” The latest phase of the agrarian crisis in| the United States is now about 10 years old. As time passes this crisis grows more intense. It existed already at the time when the Amer- ican capitalists told the Russian masses to overthrow the Soviets because they will never be able to organize production. It still exists at this moment when the American capitalists tell the American farmers to solve their crisis by overthrowing the Soviets for having or- ganized their production. A great part of the capitalization of the American railroads was provided by munici- pal, state and federal grants. The public values thus contributed to the railroads were turned into private wealth. They were trans- formed into stock held by the promoters and financiers. Later on this stock was liberally watered and then sold far and wide—always however maintaining control in the hands of the promoters and financiers. We have learned already that the supreme law of capitalism is to make profit. This law demands that sub- stantial dividends be supplied on the unsub-! stantial millions of railroad capital. Prohibi- tive freight nates for the masses of poor farmers must supply these dividends. These , freight rates turn the farmers into virtual ‘ slaves of the railroad companies. In addition to this plight the meat trust has sub-divided the country into deperiiencies of the different packing companies. These com- panies dictate within their dependencies the | prices for pigs, cattle, eggs and other farm products. Although the retail prices of these necessities have mounted during and after the war to almost inaccessible heights, the farm- ers receipts for these products are continually declining. The grain elevator companies cheat the farmers on weight and on quality of their grain. Through preferential freight rates they monopolize the grain market against the farmer. These freight rates are voted to themselves by the directors of the elevator » companies in their capacity as directors of the railroads. Beset on all sides by capitalist leeches, the poor farmer, on top of everything, is choked by the mortgage banker. Every thought that may rise in the farmers’ mind about rebellion against the leeches is drowned in the fear of a foreclosure. Thus we see the farmer harrassed by a powerful marketing monopoly and hog-tied by the mortgage banker. The marketing Tix- opoly drives and keeps down the prices of everything the farmer has for sale. At the same time the capitalist industrial monopoly drives and keeps up the prices of all the things the farmer must buy. Prices of modern farm because the Soviet Union resumed grain ex- ports in 1928. The grain exports of the Union of Socialist | Soviet Republics in 1930 amounted to about |one-third of these exports of czarist Russia before the war. Even the pinhead intelligence of a capitalist newspaper editor must be able to figure out that if one-third Soviet grain exports in 1930 bankrupts the farmers of the world, then three-thirds of czarist grain ex- ports in 1918 should not have left any farmer and the world to go bankrupt in 1930. This dumping propaganda even irritates some capitalist newspaper editors. The Louis- ville Post satirically remarked the other day that when the Soviets find a customer for their goods, that is dumping; but when the United States find a customer that is effi- cient salesmanship. This little joke was graphically illustrated by the antics of the : S. Department of Agriculture and of the U. S. Farm Board When the Soviets carried through a financial transaction nominally con- cerning 75 millions of bushels of wheat but in reality not involving the delivery of even one single kernel of Soviet grain in the United States the Secretary of the U. S. Department of Agriculture howled about Soviet dumping. But when the U. S. Farm Board sold 500 mil- lions of bushels of real wheat on European markets the U. S. Government spokesmen pro- tested with solemn dignity against this trans- action being called dumping. Here we have again the game of thief.” blood out of the poor American farmer. To prevent the farmers from ridding themselves of them, these leeches cry all together and each one separately, “stop Soviet dumping.” Protect us, ery the leeches, our right to suck your blood is threatened. The anti-Soviet dumping campaign among |” the workers is on the same level. Your jobs are in danger, the capitalists warn the work- ers. Must we heed their warnings? What have the capitalists ever done to prove their friendship to the workers? Do their past services to them justify the workers to heed the warnings of the capitalists? When the workers have a job the capitalists squeeze profits out of them. When they have no job the capitalists maintain the sacred principle of American individualism and make the workers starve. These capitalist services to the work- ers must make the workers suspicious every time the capitalists speak of the interests of the workers. They speak of the interests of the workers, but they mean the interests of the capitalists, The dignitaries of American capitalism were once very anxious to see the productive forces in Russia developed. “It is only in the pro- ductivity of Russia that there is any hope for the Russian people,” declared the Secretary of “catch State in Washington in 1921.

But the Soviets are dumping lumber and pulp-wood, yell the dumping propagandists. | What are the facts?

More than half of the pulp-wood used by American paper manufacturing is imported from Canada. | The small Soviet import of pulp-wood “does not displace American wood”; (statement of International Paper Company). ‘“Manufac- ture of high-grade paper in the United States is dependent on pulp-wood from the outside. This (Soviet) pulp-wood is not displacing the work of one single American laborer” (state- ment of the Racquette River Paper Company). The director of the lumber division of the U. S.

The commissioners twisted and evaded, said they were not respons- ible and on being asked flatly what. they were going to do, practically told the tens of thousands of strik- ing and unemployed in this coun- ty to go to the poor house and beg. The committee laid down the de- mands for: 1. Immediate appropriation to pay $10 a week and $5 additional for each dependent. 2. No evictions for non-payment of rent. 3. No shutting off of gas, heat, water or light. 4, Food for all children. 5. Free milk for all babies. 6. Immediate withdrawal of all armed forces, state police, coal and iron police, special deputies, etc., U. M. W. A. gangsters, who are terror- izing unemployed and striking min- ers-alike. 7. Immediate release of all miners arrested on the picket line. 8. The right to picket, to strike, and to meet freely for all, miners, employed, striking and unemployed. This magnificent demonstration, held partly in a pouring r ain, which, however did not fall in Washington itself, shows the National Miners Union has the confidence of the min- ers, striking ang unemployed of this county, and that the steel workers are for them. ‘The fact that a strong delegation of Negro miners and steel workers led the parade, that Negro men and women workers were sprinkled thick- ly through its ranks in complete fra- ternity with the white workers, strikes a death knell to the operators’ and U. M. W. fakers’ efforts to divide the workers on race lines. The fact that women and children with shoes so torn and worn that they fell from their feet and left them to march long miles barefooted, and that they still marched, shows the courage and heroism as well as the starvation conditions of the demonstrators. Thousands more wanted to march from sections too far to walk, and held huge impromptu mass meetings after the last trucks that could be obtained had left. The marchers converged on The Old Fair Grounds, a mile and a half outside of Washington, 15,000 of them, and cheered the speakers: Frank Borich, Charles Boswell, Carl Price, Robert Wood of the Council of the Unemployed, and others, men and women, Negro and white, from the crowd. Then they marched sing- ing and cheering for their union and their demands through the streets of Washington. Steel workers rushed out with buckets of water for the marchers. ‘They marched in ranks from four to eight wide down the streets with an equal number marching along the sidewalks. The crowds along the sidewalks began to flock into the main parade; others took their Places on the sidewalks. The committee strode into the commissioner's office. Borich spoke first, laying down the demands. One commissioner tried to interrupt. Price interrupted him: “This man speaks in the name of 35,000 hungry men and women marching through not do anything, it was up to the poor board, others had cohtrol of the deputies, etc. Price spoke: “You say you can't do anything. This is a mere tech- nicality. You and Pinchot and the operators and the U.M.W.A. are in @ conspiracy against these striking and unemployed workers, You speak for the coal operators. But we are serving our demands on you.” He told of the misery and privation in the fields. Boswell told how his son had been lying in jail for weeks, merely for Picketing. A woman from a miners’ family, Mrs, Petrus of Burgettstown, told how troopers rode down women and children on the Westland mine Picket line, and then rode over their backs with theis horses. A minor on the committee showed some company money, brass, which the company values at $1.09 when it pays off the miner with it, but which will buy only 50 cents worth of food. Borich forced the commissioners to admit they could appropriate mo- ney, but wouldn’t do it for the starv- ing workers of Washington county. ‘Then he tore into them: “You refuse to even consider the demands adopted by 35,000 miners and steel workers, and their families just now marching around this county building chtering for these demands. We will continue our struggle until we force you to grant the demands, “T went to inform you in the name of all these miners that we are com- ing back, if necessary, 50,000 strong. We. will intensify and spread our this town in support of what he is saying; yoy let him speak!” And strike and organize the biggest pick- et lines in this part of the state. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) other organizations which are al- ready engaged in the fight to save boro boys, if we may interpret your letter in this way.” ° Their reply to Trotter cleary re- stated their oft-repeated call for a united front of all forces interested in saving the boys. It said: “We are ready at all times to engage in any conference with Persons or representatives of or- ganizations willing to cooperate for the purpose of saving the lives and liberty of the nine Negro boys. The matter of time and place of any conference is of subordinate importance and can be arranged very quickly when the matter of purpose of such a conference shall be settled. “The question of what organiza- tions should participate in such a conference is one which we judge aes With mass pressure we will win our strike demands and the demands of the unemployed.” A second meeting of the masses of demonstrators was then held at The Old Fair Grounds, and the thousands gathered there cheered the declaration of all speakers that if the demands were not granted, there would be another march big- ger than this one, And with tre- mendous enthusiasm they pledged to go back and. pull out, Td mine in Pennsylvania, the struggle in cooperation with the | the lives and liberty of the Scotts- | Resistance of NAACP Leaders to United Front to Save Boys, Trotter Admits solely from the point of view of which organizations are willing to cooperate for the single purpose of the uncenditional release of the | nine boys.” NAA.C.P. Leaders Reject Move For United Front. While we have not seen a copy of the reply of the N.A.A.C.P. officials, the Boston Guardian, organ of the National Equal Rights League re- ports in its current weekly issue that the leaders of the N.A.A.C.P. have refused the invitation of the Na- tional Equal Rights League to get together on the basis of a united front fight to save the nine boys. At the same time, to cover up their resistance to the demands of their own rank and file members and of the Negro people generally that they join the united front fight to save the boys, the N.A.A.C.P. leaders ped- dle the lie that they had previously tried for “a united defense” without success, These are the same leaders who in a statement to the press on May First declared that the N.A.A, CP. had: “No connection whatsoever with the efforts of the Communist group or with the International Labor Defense in the case and that it would have no such connéection.” Consistently Betray Fight {o Save the Boys.
