Hoover's Message to
the Hunger Congress
The day after the Hunger March, delegates were prevent
ed from presenting the demands of the millions of unenr
ployed to Congress or to Hoover this agent of the capitalist
class delivered his annual message to the Hunger Congress.
This message is, in addition to its vicious lying about the
situation in which the toiling masses find themselves, a brazen
rejection of every demand of the masses for immediate relief
and for social insurance and is a declaration by Wall Street
that the masses must bear the cost of the crisis.
"If we lift our vision beyond these immediate emergencies
we find fundamental national gains even amid depression.
Beyond the immediate emergency of 12,000,000 unemployed
this bloodhound of Wall Street "finds fundamental national
gain" for the capitalist class, in that they have not yet been
forced to grant immediate relief to these millions and the
tens of millions of dependents.
"We have witnessed a remarkable development of the
sense of cooperation in the community." This "remarkable
sense of cooperation" was the wage cut attack by the capital
ist class on the working class. This "cooperation" was the
machine guns, sawed off shot guns, tear gas, and rifles that
the Hunger Government had prepared for the Hunger March
Delegates in Washington. Cooperation developed—work
ing class cooperation, the solidarity of the million masses,
Negro and white, employed and unemployed, youth and adult,
small and middle farmers and city proletariat,—the proletari
an solidarity of the toiling millions in the Hunger March
against the horrible misery that the capitalist class thru its
cooperation is attempting to force in even greater degree on
the toiling masses.
For the first time in the history of our major economic
depressions there has been a notable absence of public disor
ders and industrial conflict." This hunger agent of the rob
bers wants to prevent the workers and farmers from know
ing that in this crisis the toiling masses have fought and will
continue to fight against oppression and misery. 46,000 min
ers were on strike in the western Pennsylvania coal fields.
23,000 textile workers struck in Lawrence while tens of
thousands have fought militantly in other textile centers.
Thousands of Kentucky miners are preparing for struggle at
the present time. The mass demonstrations of the workers
on May Day, on August first, and on November 7 as well as
the local demonstrations on other occasions have been on a
broader scale, have rallied new hunureds of thousands of
workers and farmers in the struggle against exploitation and
imperialist war.
THE FIRST MAJOR iTEM THAT H.MVER it&AD IN
HIS HUNGER MESSAGE WAS ON THE PREPARATIONS
FOR THE IMPERIALIST WAR, FOR THE ATTACK ON
THE SOVIET UNION. Under the title of National Defense
he stated:
a
"Both our Army and Navy have been maintained
in a high state of efficiency. The ability and devotion
of both officers and men sustain the highest tradi
tions of the service. Reductions and postponements
in expenditure of these departments to meet the pres
ent emergency are being made without reducing exist
ing personnel or impairing the morale of either es
tablishment."
He boasts that while there have been reductions in the
budgetary appropriations for the armed imperialist forces,
which do not mean any ACTUAL reductions, there have been
no reductions in the "exisiting personnel" or impairment of
the "morale" of either the army or the navy. The capitalist
class of the United States is INCREASING its military prep
arations, is spending hundreds of millions to speed up the
preparation for the attack on the Soviet Union.
"We are at peace with the wwld. We have cooperated
with other nations to preserve peace. The rights of our citi
zens abroad have been protected." Yes, bloody Hoover. Our
capitalist class keeps the masses in Nicaragua, of Haiti, of
the Philippines oppressed by armed force.
Our" gunboats
patrol the Yangste river, our marines are in China, ready for
the command to attack the workers and peasants of China
who have risen valiantly against the imperialist oppression
of the capitalist class. "Our" capitalist class has reached
secret agreements with the French imperialists for the
crushing of the revolt of the oppressed German masses. "We"
have "cooperated with other nations" in sanctioning the in
vasion of Manchuria and the preparations for the attack on
the Soviet Union by the Japanese imperialists.
Any effort to bring about our own recuperation has dic
tated the necessity of cooperation by us with other nations in
reasonable effort io restore world confidence and economic
stability." Your "reasonable efforts" Hoover, and those of
the world imperialists are the opening of a new slaughter,
more terrible than the last, to restore the "economic stability"
of this, your system of exploitation, brutality and terror.
"Your cooperation with other nations" is the imperialist
front against the toiling masses of the world who are deter
mined to suffer no longer the horrible burdens that you and
your class have decreed for them.
"The emergencies of unemployment have been met by ac
tions in many directions." Yes, Hoover, IN 'MANY DIREC
TIONS. You clubbed the Hunger Marchers in Hammond, In
diana, you fed them stinking slop in a dozen cities, you pre
pare a massacre for them in Washington. You murdered
three Negro workers in Chicago and one in Cleveland last
summer—unemployed workers who were fighting the evictions
that you have decreed for the jobless. You have thrown hund
reds of militant unemployed workers into jail. IN MANY
DIRECTIONS HAVE YOU ATTACKED THE UNEMPLOY
ED.
"Industrial concerns and other employers have been or
ganized to spread available work amongst all their em
ployees, instead of discharging a portion of them." YES,
THE HOOVER STAGGER SYSTEM. It is your plan and
that of your Wall Street bosses that millions more should be
put on the hunger level thru part time work so that you
might avoid feeding the unemployed.
A large majority of industrial concerns have maintained
wages at as high levels as the safe conduct of their business
would permit." AS AT LOW LEVELS AS THEY COULD
POSSIBLY PUT THRU TO SAVE THEIR PROFITS. After
the terrible wage cuts of two years of crisis, you on October
first organized the country-wide attack on the wage stand
ards, the living standards, of the employed workers.
"Through the President's organization for unemployment
relief, public and private agencies were successfully mobilized
last winter to provide employment and other meaÄirs against
distress. Similar organization gives assurance against suf
fering during the coming winter. Committees of leading citi
zens are now active at practically every point of unemploy
ment. In the large majority they have been assured the funds
necessary which, together with local government aids, will
meet the situation. A few exceptional localities will be furth
er organized."
Under the slogan of organizing charity slops you have
refused immediate relief for the twelve millions of jobless and
their dependents. Your Gifford charity gangster committee
includes the most vicious exploiters and misleaders of labor
in the country. In the state and local committees the same

LABOR DEFENSE WILL AID
FOREIGN BORN STRUGGLE.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Answer to
the ddmand of Secretary of Labor
William N. Doak that deportation
of militant foreign-born workers
be speeded and aided by tie
courts will be made at mass pro
test meetings in large American
cities under the auspices of the In
ternational Labor Defense and the
Society for the Protection of the
Foreign-Born. The first of these
will be in New York, in the Man
hattan Lyceum on December 20th.
Doak reported that the deporta
tion of militant foreign-bom work
ers "requires greater effort than
in the case of any other class,"
because his deportation raids are
"hampered by every possible re
sort to the courts and by persist
ent propaganda on the part of
un-American organizations of Am
erican citizens."
In defiance of Doak, the Inter
national Labor Defense has fought
the labor department's wholesale
deportation program. It has won
by mass pressure and court action
the unconditional right of workers
from fascist countries to go volun
tarily to Russia, rather than be
delivered by Doak to prisons or
the execution block in their native
lands. The TLD has also helped J
defeat the Michigan 'alien régis

tration' bill, whereby
workers would be fingerprinted
and checked for radical activities
by the police. The ÏLD announ
that it will continue to fight
all deportations, demanding the

Wolf Point, Montana., Dec. 10.
-A number of ranchers from the
Prairie Elk country in northeast

county commissioners at Circle to
protest a proposed sale of ap

of five years.
The committee, W. H. Jacobs, D.
D. Garoutte and H. F. Prall, who
were spokesmen for the small
ranchers protested that selling of
the entire amount of land in one
acquired by the county and a sale
was advertised for Dec. 16, when
it was proposed to sell the several
parcels of land in a lump, a price
of 50 cents an acre being mention
ed as a fair value for the land,
20 per cent to be in cash and the
balance to be spread over a period
parcel would make it impossible
for individuals to redeem their
land or for a group of individuals
redeem land in any certain
neighborhood, since the land is
spread over 14 townships,
The selling of the land in this
manner is a scheme of the Chap
pell Bros. Horse company to ob
tain possession of a large amount
of land of small ranchers at a
nominal cost.
McCone commissioner professed
not to know to whom the land
[would be sold, but admitted that an
offer had been made by a "Mr.
Hunt" of Miles City.
Many smaller farms and ranches
would be almost valueless by ac
quisition by Chappell Bros, of
tracts surrounding them. The
transaction is a movement to force
the small ranchers from thcii
holdings. It is not likely any
other concern would want the land
for grazing cattle since Chappell
Bros, own nearly all water holes
m Some ofthe land is good lor
farming and worth much more
than 60 cents an acre and other
land is rough and only suitable for
grazing.
When asked whether the land
had been appraised within the last
three months, as required by law
preceding a sale, replies of com
missioners indicated that such an
appraisal had not been made.
The sale advertised for Dec. 16
has been vacated as a result of the
ranchers' protest and it is under*

Minot, North Dakota, Dec. 14.—
The Sender Garlin meetings
(speaking and showing pictures of
the "Soviet 6-Year Plan, the Hoov
er Plan and the Farmers") and
held under the auspices of the
United Farmers League and the
International Labor Defense in
North Dakota are stirring the
minds of the workers and farm

In Bismarck the large Patter

The remaining forces of the

of General Chen are attempting to
crush the revolt by the bloody
slaughter methods that have made
the Kuomintang government a
symbol of blood and terror.
The present actions of the stu

streets of Nanking in defiance of
the machine guns which the Nan
king government had planted
there. The students demonstrated,

volt has already been paid for by
the blood of thousands and thous
ands of the militant peasant,
worker and student revolutionists
in the past five years. Because it
is only the blood of the Chinese
toiling masses that has been shed
and not that of the imperialist
generals and officials it is "blood
less" as far as the exploiters are
concerned.
The government which has been
ousted has been the agent of the
foreign imperialists in their ex
ploitation of the Chinese people.
It has been the direct agent of
the United States capitalist class
in its struggles with the British
and Japanese imperialists. While
the masses have demanded that
the Japanese imperialists
thrown out of Manchuria this
Nanking Kuomintang government,
under the direct orders of U. S.
Secretary of State Stimson, has
refused to lead the struggle. They
knew that the struggle the Chinese
masses demanded was not only
the struggle against the Japanese
imperialists but against all of the
imperialists.
