PURO Part It | the problem of winning the toil- ing farmers is not just putting the |Party forward mechanically. The | question cannot be solved as simply | as that. i Many. problems are related to | this. We must first of ail make | clear to ourselves what categories | of the rural population we aim to | win. Here the first attention should be given to the work among the agricultural laborers, organizing them into the revolutionary unions | and leading their struggles. A good | beginning hhas been made already in this respect in some parts of the country (California and Colorado), while in the other parts of the country this work has been entirely neglected (around the big industrial cities, where there are tens of thousands of agricultural workers). | Organization and political educa- tion of the agricultural workers will greatly strengthen the ‘proletarian leadership of the farmers move- | ment, creating at the same time a | bridge between the industrial pro- letariat in the cities and the toiling | farmers in the countryside. We | Must more clearly place our main efforts to win over: the semi- | proletarian, poor and small farmers, especially Negro share croppers and tenants and to make every effort to overcome race prejudice among the poor white farmersinthe South, winning them into joint struggles with the Negroes, against the most vicious robbery and oppression of the Southern white landlords and | capitalists. All this emphasis on these most exploited sections of the farmers should not let us forget, however, that, due to special condi- tions in the United States, due to the extreme depth of the prolonged agrarian crisis and the extreme robbery of finance capital and its agencies, that the situation is very favorable for us for winning over large sections of impoverished middle farmers into common struggles with the poor and small farmers under the leadership of the Communist Party. Therefore, while our program must be based pri- marily upon the needs of the poor and small farmers, we must in- | clude in our program those de- ‘mands of the middle farmers that Put Forward | QF COURSE the remedy for solving | Farm Work in Pre-Convention Discussion Party Program in Agrarian Work © | are not in contradiction with the | interests of the workers and poor farmers. Against Capitalist Landlords It is necessary to carry forward sharp class struggle in the country- side against the capitalist elements —tich farmers and landlords. In order to fight against the develop- ment of the fascist movement, which seeks especially its support from the countryside. It is neces- sary to fight hard against social- fascist and bourgeois influence to- day and undermine their support among the toiling farmers. In order to infuse strong prole- tarian ideology and _ proletarian hegemony in the farmers’ move- ment systematic intercourse through joint actions, meetings, exchange of delegations, demonstrations and struggles of the workers in the cities and the farmers in the coun- tryside, shall be more and more developed. Joint actions on the C. W. A. jobs, in the relief struggles (hunger marches) joint demon- strations, etc., farmers’ assistance to striking workers, workers’ sup- port of farmers’ strikes, etc., should be developed and organized. A great interest among the toil- ing farmers for the struggle against war and for the defense of the Soviet Union has been demon- strated in connection with the American Congress Against War and the convention of the Friends of the Soviet Union, at both con- ventions of which farmers sent large delegations. However, we should not underestimate what ef- fect war hysteria, beclouded by demagogic patriotism and the prom- ises of returning “prosperity” can have in the countryside, especially among the youth and among those sections of the farmers, whom our revolutionary work has not yet penetrated. Therefore, we must carry on systematic work against imperialist war in the countryside connecting this question with the everyday activities for the imme- diate economic demands of the toiling farmers, showing them con- eretely that war can bring only ad- ditional burdens and more misery upon the toiling population, as the present crisis demonstrates. Draw- ing into the moyement of women and farm youth is of the utmost | importance both from the point of i view of effective struggle against | the war as well as from the point; of view of the preparation of the actual war situation. A program of action of the Party must be crystallized around the slogan of the complete cancellation } of the debis of the poor, small and middle farmers, both mortgages, | rents and taxes. This demand has} already assumed a wide support among the most militant sections | of the farmers. It must be widely popularized and concrete united mass actions organized around it. In the South we must more def- initely put forward the demand of the land for sharecroppers and | tenants, raising the question of the confiscation of the land of the big jJandlords and its division to the poor landless farmers. Revolutionary Way Out In addition to the immediate de- mands our Party must put forward its revolutionary program, point- ing out that the way out of the present industrial and agrarian erisis is the proletarian revolution carried out under the leadership of | the revolutionary proletariat in al- jliance with the toiling farmers that finally and completely liberates the toilers. Explaining the achieve- ments of the Soviet Union, we can demonstrate concretely to the debt- ridden and impoverished majority of the American farmers as to what the Soviet power will be able to give them in this country. We must show that in contradiction to the so-called capitalist democracy and; the fascist dictatorship of the rul- ing class, the “Soviet power is. the state form of the revolutionary democratic dictatorship of the pro- letariat and the peasants, it is) democracy for the toilers, but stern dictatorship against the exploiters.” (quotation from 13th Plenum thesis of FE. C. C. 1) ever, by the discussion of our or- ganizational problems we musi achieve further clarity on them. We must discuss how to carry on effective work in old line or- ganizations, agricultural marketing cooperatives, How to organize Farmers Committees of Action. How to make them the greatest In the last period we have over-; strata of unorganized farmers and the members of old line organiza- tions into united action. We must discuss the role of the left wing (United Farmers League and or- ganizations close to it) in these} united front struggles. We must relate our experiences in farmers’ strikes and other struggles. In the organizational questions, too, it is necessary to overcome right devia- tions which tend to abandon the conscious roie of leadership of the Communist and revolutionary left wing, and also tc compact against | left sectarian narrowness and isola- tion from the great masses of the toiling farmers. Build the Party Finally, the systematic building of the Party in the farm communi- ties must be done at an accelerated rate. The Party must carry on active election campaigns among the farmers in coming elections. The most class conscious el the agricul croppers, poor and small farmers, and the moet militant middie farm- ers, must be Party. And if Communists actively lead the struggles of the toiling farmers for their every-day mands, if the Party’s revolutionary program is thorcughly explained to them, there will be no difficulties in getting them into the Party. In fact, we are receiving more and more questions from the militant farmers and their wives, as to “how can I become a good Communist?” “What is the program of the Com- munist Party for the farmers?” etc. For guaranteeing the correct, ef- ficient leadership of the Party in the farmers’ struggles and over- coming the lagging behind the rural masses, it is necessary to take note of the resolution of the 18th meet- ing of the Central Committee, which says: “The work in the rural dis- tricts must henceforth receive the _| attention of the Party in every dis- trict.” All these and many other ques- tions related to our agrarian work must be thoroughly discussed by every leading committee, units and fractions. Discussion must have in view the working out a program for every locality, section and district and enriching the material for the weapons of uniled front struggles, drawing through them the widest national egrarian program of our Party. | Inciting antagonism between mili- yecruited into the) de- | government by any other system or regime; Inciting armed forces to rebel against the government; |tary and civil authorities; Breaking the laws governing | strikes—laws which in effect outlaw Cuba In Answer to!
