Editor The Review
In recent weeks accusations
have been made on the South
Plains that Farmers Union is
supporting the organisation of
farm workers. In Crosby County
this meeting was sponsored by
the Farm Bureau and the princi
pal speaker was John Kendricks.
bank executive of Brownfieid
who apparently used a recent
article in the anti-fanner, pro
Republican reactionary "Farm
and Ranch" as the source of his
information.
For the benefit of Mr. Ken
drteks and the sponsors of this
meeting. I would like to state
that the National Farmers Un
ion has never gone on record as
favoring the organisation of farm
labor. The statement which wad
quoted was a complete misstate-
ment with deliberate miarepre
sentation of the facts. Here in
our own community some have
repeated the statements made
by Mr. Kendricks in an attempt
to establish them ss s matter of
fact, with no regard to seeking
the truth. This is the perpetua
tion of an untruth through the
most vicious type of propaganda.

few areas of farming in which
big business has taken over and

through complete vertical inte-
gration, the product has been
controlled from its production,

ing and sold to the consumer by
the same industrial corporation,

who is so vital to the American
way of life.

was stated tqr the Farmers Un-
ion spokeasnan quoted by Mr.
Kendricks. The statement was
taken out of context, restated
and twisted by the "Farm and

terests of the people whom it
represents. Itk the meeting in
question our spokesman was
ststing only the basic principle

citterns'and the policies of the
Nsttonsl Farmers Union stand
in support of this principle.
The Farm Bureau, in promot-
ing these meetings, is deltber
erstely trying to divert the farm
ere from his main problem —
namely, a price for what he
grows. The Farm Bureau, which
has sdvocsted the sliding scale
since 1946 and who has been
Joined by their Republican big-
business friends, has asked the
farmer to take less for his pro-
ducts while sll other segments
of the economy have received
more for what they have to sell,
until today the American farmer
is within two to four percentage
points price-wise of the. great
depression. They have gained
this through legislation of prices,

these groups is without doubt a
threat to the farm economy, but
we can take some ttolare In the
statement of Rep. Usher Burdick
in the House of Representatives
in May.1953, when he said, "I
would not be alarmed about the
Farm Bureau Federation, be-
csuse 1 know sll about them. I
was there when they were first
organized. They were organized
by the banks, the insurance com-
panles, the railroads and the
chambers of commerce to kc*p
the farmers quiet. I ounht to
know, because I was the first
president of the Farm Bureau
Federation in North Dakota and
remained so until I found out
what It was . . ."
It is my sincere belief that all
farm people should actively par-
ticipate In the setting of farm
policy through the organization
of their choice. I further believe
that membership In any organ-
ization be only after a thorough
Investigation of Its complete pro-
gram. and the moment that it
falls to serve him as an indivi-
dual member, he should no long-
er be a member of that organi-
zation.
