Support the National Farm Strike | As the date of the beginning of the farmers’ rike approaches all the forces of reaction are brought into play against it. No more vicious campaign was ever unleashed than that whic’ is being carried out, by the-kept press to help keep the impoverished farmers of this country im @state of abject poverty. Headlines shriek that the farmers are bent upon: “starving America”. The farm strike that is to begin Saturday is not a move to starve America, but a fight of Americans against such misery and stark des | tution as has never before been experienced among the toilers on the i } acre ~ ail orker Central Org : nist Party U.S.A.

The farmers are not fighting against the workers in the cities. Their fight,is against the same capitalist greed and avarice that is responsible forthe mass hunger of millions of working class families. The farmers are-fighting for higher prices because the price they receive for their commodities is below the cost of production in every state in the union. ‘They are fighting against the grain and milk trusts, against marketing Speculators, against mortgage sharks and tax colleciors, that use the armed forces of the state to dispossess them of their land. i Price Rise, Increase | ; Tt was the heroic and militant struggle of the farmers in North- | im H Ours, Belie the western Iowa that gave the final impetus to this movement for a nation- | l 66 . 99) ae cee | Roosevelt “Prosperity” | that, set in motion masses of farmers in all the Middle West and inspired | Vol. X, No 113 OVER 250,000 MARCH IN NEW YORK AGAINST HITLER United Front Workers’ Contingent In Separate Columns Only Fighting Groups Demand Release of Thaelmann and.

His appeals to wait for the Roose- Velt administration to do something met with such disapproval on the » floor of the conference that he had to come out in favor of the strike. ‘The veiled stories that Washington was considering emergency relief for the farmers, could not stop the preparations for the strike. Roosevelt's demiagogy is losing its power to paralyze the action of the farmers. ‘They have seen the actions of Roosevelt's supporters, like Governor Clyde Her- ving of Iowa, who established martial law and carried on a state of ai armed seige against the embattled farmers of that state. As one of the delegates to the Des Moines conference said, “the farmers are fighting mad”, and will not be stopped by promises. They have stopped listening to words; they demands deeds.

March Forced on Leaders of Jewish Congress, Who Are Against Anti-Fascist Struggle NEW YORK.—More than 250,000 marched against Ger- man fascism yesterday afternoon.

It is absolutely imperative that this strike have the full and enthus- iastic support of the workers in the cities and towns. The marketing speculators, the grain trust, the milk trust can be compelled to pay the farmers prices that will cover the cost of production and at the same time cut down prices to the consumers in the cities: ~The Communist Parity members in all organizations will strive to build up the broadest united support possible for the striking farmers. | It is necessary that those leaders who like Milo Reno, fought against the Already there are being built up united fronts in behalf of this strike. strike until they could no longer do so, should be removed from positions ‘of leadership, To avoid betrayal and to insure effective leadership there must be set up rank and file committees of action to lead the strike in every locality. It is essential that the membership in other farmers’ organizations, such as the United Farmers’ League, work with the Farm Holiday Association membership. Workers, employed and unemployed, in the cities and towns should support the strike by agitation, demonstrations, picketing and public hear- ings on prices received by farmers and prices paid by consumers, There should be organization of relief marches in counties, in the states, mass struggle against foreclosure sales, determined struggle against the use of militia and police against the strikers, There can be and should be not only joint action of workers and farmers, but this must be crystallized into definite organizational form. That can be done on the basis of demanding payment to the strikers of prices that cover the cost of production for their goods. These goods in turn to be distributed to the hungry men, women and children by joint committees of workers and farmers. Thus there can be developed de- | finite unity of action between the starving workers in the cities and the impoyerished farmers in the country against the common enemy, the capitalist exploiters of all shades. Let all workers organizations be ready to go into action in defense of the farm strikers. Support of this strike will go a Jong way toward breaking down the barrier the capitalists try to maintain between the working class in»the-cities and their allies, the farmers, and establishing unity of action against the whole capitalist offensive. ~ To the Aid of Victims of German Fascism! ° Ernst Thaelmann, Ernst Torgler, tens of thousands of revolutionary German workers, and Georgi Dimitroff, leader of the Bulgarian working class, are still in the dungeons of the fascist regime, subjected every day to ‘unspeakable humiliations and maltreatment. As long as Comrade ‘Thaelmann and the other leaders of the German working class are at the mercy of the fascist storm troopers, their lives are not safe from one day to.the next. Not a day passes but we read of new murders of workers, Communist and Socialist, pacifist and Jew, in the streets of German cities and in the horrible storm troop barracks. Only yesterday Comrade Dressel, Bae the Communist deputies in the Bavarian Landtag, was reported a “suicide.” And we must not forget that every German revolutionary worker arrested and thrust into the concentration camps or foully slain by Hitler's Reawo pri pp eal German Sa rane family left without any upport. ver other than that afforded datity of eon Ah forded by the proletarian face of these extremely acute needs in Germany, we must to the present time we have not mobilized the American to any page ones degree.

Have been driven back to their shops after a heroic strike to put an end. to their forced labor pittances, their 10 to 14 hours of toil, and their mustréatment at the hands of the bosses.

They took no steps to make this struggle a means of winning concessions for the workers. They did not raise any strike relief for milies of the child strikers. They raised no demands in behalf of the child workers. Instead, they exploited their plight and turned them over to the politicians, who used the utmost demagogy in pretending “sym- pathy” but forced them back to the same miserable sweatship toil again, The arch remagog Pinchot, whose state police shoot down the miners, and Mrs. Pinchot, who appeared on the picket line to pose for photo- graphs, made political capital out of the misery of the child toilers. The union officials assisted them in this insidious scheme to head off the strike. The Party must take its full share of the responsibility for failure to react to this important strike struggle.
