Mr. TAVENNER. Mr. Chairman, I would like to introduce in
evidence three pamphlets entitled “The March Against Hunger,” by I.
Amter, “The Highway of Hunger,” by Dave Doran, and “Our Children Cry
for Bread,” by Sadie Van Veen, and ask that they be marked “Dennett
Exhibits 5, 6, and 7” respectively, with the understanding that only
the front cover and the back cover of each be incorporated in the
transcript of the record.

Mr. MOULDER. They will be so marked and admitted.
Mr. TAVENNER. In other words, you were going beyond the real
immediate purposes of the hunger march, and were trying to sell the
participants a bill of goods through these pamphlets.
Mr. DENNETT. That is true.
Mr. TAVENNER. Will you hurriedly look through these documents,
please, and call the committee’s attention to a few items which would
substantiate your testimony on that point?
Mr. DENNETT. Well, here is this one on the March Against
Hunger, by Israel Amter, in which some of the subheadings tell the
story.
There is one, “Struggles Force Relief.” The implication is very
plain that the only way they can get the relief is to engage in mass
struggles. And in too many instances that was true from their own
experience.

“Large Bodies of Workers Represented”: There was always a tendency to
exaggerate the number who actually participated.
“Marchers Enter Washington”: the inference that the workers could get
to Washington and be represented by marching on Washington; not by
trying to be elected.
“Marchers Hold Conference Surrounded by Police”: referring to the
attempt to thwart the efforts of the workers.
“Workers’ Congress v. Bankers’ Congress”: the meeting of the unemployed
representatives in Washington, trying to hold a comparison between
their efforts and that of the Congress itself.
“Mass Action, Basis of Struggle”: a repeat of an earlier point.
