January 15, 1924 { t \ THE DAILY WORKER POTOFSKY TELLS. HOW AMERICANS HELP RUSSIANS Sees “Daily Worker” Power for Recognition By JACOB S. POTOFSKY Sec’y-Treas. R, A, I. C, I em glad to send a line to THE DAILY WORKER. I am interested specially in the outright position your paper promises to take for the re- cognition of Soviet Russia and the publication of the facts concerning the real conditions in that country. The Russian-American Industrial Corporation, a labor corporation. de- dicated to the task of rendering economig aid to the workers af Rus- sia bespeaks the interest and active support of all ‘Worker’ readers in , its efforts for the industrial recon- struction of Russia. The R, A. I. C, needs the help of every American worker who believes in the tecogntéion of Soviet Russia. For recognition without practical and material help to Russia’s reviving in- dustries would be empty and mean- ingless. With or without de jure recognition, however, the R. A. I. C. way of helping Russia is workable, The needle trade unionists in Petro- grad, Moscow, Nijhni Novgorod, Ka- zan, Kharkow, deeply appreciate the assistance we have given and will continue to give so long es they stand in need of industrial credits. The clothing shops of Russia are efficient working units and their pro- duction during the past year has been a surprise even to the most friendly and sanguine observers. Thanks to their competent organization and the equipment they have been able to purchase with the credits we have sent the average quality of the work done by the Russian workers is now equal and even superior to that done in any other continental factories. The real wages of the workers are steadily rising. American workers who have been searching for an ideal and effective medium ‘through which to express their friendship for the New Russia should not lose sight of the oppor- tunities opened by R.A. I. C. To be- come a partner in Soviet Russia's in- dustrial recovery by investing $10 or more is a privilege which no worker friendly to Russia can afford to pass by. The lines of communication be- tween American and Russia are more and more direct; the road is opening. We are proud to have participated in thé job of making real and sub- stantial the relations between one group’ of Russian workers and their comrades in the factories and on the May The Daily Worker be a sharp sword, cutting asunder the armor of de- ceit and hypocrisy by which the exploiting class conceals its robbery of the workers. « (Signed) JAMES H.

The reporter for the Junior Sec- tion of the Y. W. L., Rose Cohen, went’ into a thoro discussion of its activi- ties showing how, in some schools, they were successful in combating the religious propaganda which is fed to the little tots. Since the organ- ization of the Junior Sections last May 1928, they have been able to publish a fine monthly organ, “Tne Young Comrade.” Martin Abern, National Secretary of the.Y, W. L. of America discussed at length the campaigns which lie ahead of the Y. W. L. and the neces- sary tactics to derive the greatest benefit from these campaigns, among them being Child Labor, organization of the League along shop unit form and the unionization of Youth Labor.

Then followed reports on Liter- ature, Research, Sports, Press, Ch'l- dren, Finances, Social and other ac- tivities which demonstrates that the Chicago Y. W.

Step by step the reaction- aries of America are advancing upon the working- class. The capitalists of America are like the capi- talists the world over; they never let the workers raise a voice in the so-called free press. We congratulate the birth of THE DAILY WORKER, where every class-concious worker will have a voice and it will lead them into a calmer, happier world. bright.
