DY’S ALUMINU IMBINE UNDE RE IN CONGRESS sistant Denies White House Influence (Special to The Dally Worker) VASHINGTON, Jan, 14. William Donovan, assistant attorney gener- was recalled to the stand yester- y at the senate judiciary commit- e's investigation of the delay of the partment of justice in instituting iti-trust proceedings against the Mel- m-controlled Aluminum company 0 merica. In previous testimony, Donovan de- ied the department had been lax in pressing anti-trust litigation. At the outset yesterday, Donovan made a number of minor corrections in his previous testimony, Senator Walsh, of Montana, conduct- ing the committee’s inquiry asked Donovan if it had been decided to withdraw from the Aluminum inves- tigation after a conference at the White House. “I know nothing whatever of the conference,” said Donovan. Donovan heatedly replied to an in- sinuation from Walsh that a Mellon- owned concern was being “carefully handled.” “I don’t give a damn if it is a Mel- lon concern. I’ve learned my obli- gations to the department, I've got to be the master of my own conscience and what I submit to the attorney- general will be my decision on a case as I see it.” Toohey to Speak at - Bronx Workers’ Forum NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 14.—What price peace in the anthracite?

Stalin, secretary of the Russian Party, declares em- phatically that anyone who accuses the Communist parties of the world of individual terror must be efther ignorant or bribed. Stalin also re- views the tasks of the Russian Com- munist Party as follows: se * (International Press Correspondence) OSCOW, U.S. 8S. R., Dec. 18—(By Mail)-;Two questions in our for- eign policy are particularly acute: (1) The question of propaganda and, (2) the question of the Communist. Inter- national. The English conservatives accuse the Russian Communists of wanting to destroy the British empire. We need no special propaganda in the west and in the east. The work- ers’ delegations are reporting upon our life and work in all the countries of the west, That is the strongest means of propaganda. The peoples of the east know that our order of society is built up upon the brotherly harmony of all nations. Every Chinese, Egyptian and Indian knows that we are the only country which is prepared to assist his op- pressed country, ‘We need no further agitation and propaganda in the east. Only one force can and will destroy the Brit- ish empire. That is the English con- servatives and their policy of force in Egypt, India and in China. The English lords are incapable of any other policy, That will be their doom, FEW words upon the Comintern: Stalin declared that any one who accused the Communist parties of in- dividual terror must be either igno- rant or bribed. The theory and the practice of the Comintern consists in the organization of the revolutionary mass movement against capitalism. It has rejected the individual terror and it will always reject it. Referring to the question of . the far east, Stalin said: The forces of the revolutionary movement in China are tremendous. China is faced with the task of uniting itself in a national state, just as at one time, North America, Italy and Germany were, We stand for the freedom of China from the imperialists. Japan also must reckon with the growing power of the National movement in China. TALIN then proceeded to a discus- sion of the questions of our party in connection with the world situa- tion, The tasks of ‘the party ene at vided into two categories: ( ‘field of the international revolu eae movement. (2) The field of foreign Policy of the Soviet Union. Upon the first field, we must. work for the consolidation of the Commun: ist Party in the west and for the con- quest of the majority of the working masses. The strengthening of the struggle of the proletariat of the west for trade union unity lies in the same direction. A firm connection must then be established between the proletariat of the Soviet Union and the movement for freedom in the oppressed coun- tries. The building up and consolida- tion of the socialist elements in the Soviet state are worthy of particular attention because our work of recon- struction has an international signifi- cance. Our country is the basis of the world revolution. The tasks of the party upon the field of the foreign policy of the So- viet Union are: the struggle against new wars, the struggle for the main- tenance of peace and the insuring of so-called normal relations with the capitalist countries, The basic axle of our politics is the idea of peace. For this reason we shall not enter into the league of na- tions. Further, ft is our task to widen our commercial relations upon the basis of a strengthening of the monopoly of foreign trade. Thirdly, we must seek for a closer contact with . all those countries which emerged from the world war as the vanquished. Fourthly, we must strengthen our contact with the col- onial and dependent countries. These are the tasks facing the party in con-| nection with the question of our inte: national relations and the internatio: working class movement, IN NEW YORK! Lenin Memorial--Sun.

MILLERS 318 Grand St., B’klyn TH FROCHEDING to the internal situa- tion of the Soviet Union, the speak- er enumerated the factors which deter- mine the economic reconstruction of the Soviet Union: the capitalist en- vironment which means that the work of reconstruction proceeds in contra- dietions, in collisions between our economy and capitalist economy, not only externally, but also in the con- tradictions between the capitalist and socialist elements in the Soviet econ- omy. From this follows the necessity for building up our economy not as an assistant organization for world capi- talism, but as an independent eco- nomic unit. There are twa basic tend- encies. The first is to the effect that our country must remain an agricul- tural country for a very long time and export agricultural products while im- porting machinery, This tendency makes for the lim- itation of industry. The speaker is opposed to this tendency. The second tendency is to the effect that all forces must be utilized in order to make the country economically inde- pendent and to base it upon its in- ternal power. This tendency makes for the maximum development of in- dustry, however, in accordance with the existing resources. HOULD the revolution occur in Germany or in France, then we could abandon the policy of develop- ing the Soviet Union into an inde- pendent economic unit and adopt the policy of weaving the country into the general socialist development, Till then, however, the country must be preserved from the danger of an eco- nomic subjugation by world capital- ism. The second factor in our work of reconstruction is that in the capitalist countries the mistakes: made by the individual trusts, syndicates, etc,, are corrected thru the market by crises. With us, however, every serious mis- take ends not with a single crisis, but with damage to our Babi: econ- ERA ala Pin aed E DAILY WORKER Stalin Shows Russia Is World Revolution Basis tion in which two classes are repre/ sented—the exploited class which pos- sesses Mo means of production and the exploiting class which possesses the means of production, All state capitalisms are essentially capitalistic, When Lenin analyzed state capitalism he thot above all of concessions. In the concessions the capitalist class which exploits and which provisionally possesses the means of production is represented and the proletariat class which is ex- ploited by the concessions, is also represented, Here there is no element of social- ism, The state undertakings are not state capitalism because not two classes are represented in them, but one, the working class which pos- sesses the means of production and which is not exploited, for all that which is produced in excess of wages, is devoted to the further de- velopment of industry, that is, to the betterment of the situation of the whole working class, One could say that this is neverthe- less not socialism because a bureau- SOVIET RUSSIA REFUSES TO 60 TO GENEVA MEET Assassination of Vorov- sky Cause (Special to The Dally Worker) MOSCOW, Jan. 14. — The Soviet government, altho eager to partici- pate in the disarmament conference at Geneva, will not attend unless its complaint against the Swiss is set- tled, it was stated authoritatively to- day. The Russians have repeatedly made plain their aversion to Swiss relations since 1923 when Vorovsky, a Russian envoy to the Lausanne international conference in their country was as- sassinated by a white guard Russian officer who was freed and given So- viet funds held by Vorovsky in Swiss banks. Pravda discussing the conference, remarked this morning: “If any foreign government is real-| ly imterested in Russia’s co-operation they should explain to the Swiss that it is wrong to allow a murderer of a foreign representative to go unpunish- cracy still exists in the leading organs of our undertakings. This remark is applicable but nevertheless does not contradict the fact that the state in- dustry is @ Socialist type of produc- tion, HERE are two ‘types of produc- tion, the capitalistic or state capi- talistic, in which two classes are pres- ent and which produce for the profit of the capitalists, and the other type where no exploitation is carried on, where the means of production belong to the working class and the under- taking works not for the profit of an alien class but for the development and extension of the industry for the working class, Lenin termed state undertakings the logical socialist type of undertak- ings, Our state is also no bourgeois state for the state apparatus is not used for the oppression of the work- ing class but for its freedom from the omy. For this reason it is necessary for us to take particular care in the work of reconstruction. Our work must proceed systematically, we must work with reserves. The many accidents, the dependence upon natural forces in the internal market, the dependence of foreign commerce upon the atti- tude of European capitalism, all de- mand the accumulation of reserves for the purpose of filling possible breaches. FTER enumerating the five eco- nomic types which are present in the Soviet Union: almost natural economy with commodity production, private capitalism; “state “capitalism and socialist industry, the speaker touched upon the discussion in con- nection with state capitalism and the state industry. The state industry cannot be termed state capitalism, for state cap-! italism is an organization of produc-| Socialists Invent a yoke of the bourgeoisie. For this reason our state is a pro- letarian state altho remnants of the old regime are still in existence. Lenin criticized the Soviet state most of all on account of those remnants of bureaucracy, but he stressed with- out ceasing the fact that our state is a new type of proletarian state. It is necessary to distinguish this state type from those remnants which are still present in the state apparatus. The same fs true of the economic ap- paratus. One must not forget this difference which is a difference of principle. Because of the remnants of bureaucrac; e leading organs ot the “state” one ‘must not be led to forget the fact that these undertakings are essentially si cialistic undertakifgs. eee | NOTE: The speaker next pr to a statistical description of ple’s economy in the Soviet Way to Fight Fascism by Giving It Power —_—- BERLIN, Jan. 14.—The social-demo- crats of Poland have a queer way of “fighting fascism,” They demand that Marshal Joseph Pilsudski, former president who is now leading the or- ganization of fascist troops, be re- turned to the general staff of the army. They advocate this on the grounds that “his return would make it impossible for him to continue his fascist activities.” Apparently, the way to “fight fascism” is to turn the Polish army over to fascist control. The fascists are calling a congress in Warsaw at which the already form- ed army of “grey shirts” as they are called in Poland, will be officially pro- claimed. The whole situation indi- cates that the Polish bourgeoisie is fostering the movement as a means to use extra-legal violence against the increasing discontent of the work- ers and to proclaim a fascist dicta+ torship to cover up the outrageous grafting of government officials and to Follow Bankers" Into South America Steps were being taken here today to bring about realization of a plan for the linking of north and south American highways by a main road that will have its starting point in Canada, Building of a great bridge across the Panama canal, one of the most ambitious undertakings of its kind in history, is involved. The plan was being discussed in all seriousness by representatives of the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Republic of Panama as the Am- erigan road builders’ convention, the greatest assembly of transportation men ever held, was called to order with 35,000 enginsers, state officials and contractors in attendance. Those scheduled to speak included Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy; Charles M. Schwab, of the Bethlehem Steel Co., Charles M.

The Soviet is waiting and has waited.” | The paper, expressing Russia’s| earnest desire to participate in the conference, urged mediation by “some third power.” Reactionary School Superintendent Hit by American Legion World war veterans and leaders in preparedness moves were up in arms today following utterances of William McAndrews, Chicago school superin- tendent, advocating removal of his- torically reminiscent war pictures from the walls of public school build- ings. McAndrews is known as a re- actionary. Chief among the resenters to Mc- Andrews’ advocation made public in an article appearing in the Educa- tional Review, are Col. P. J. H. Far- rell, veteran of a dozen wars; Major G. Fitzgerald Lee, retired army officer and head in preparedness moves; and Major General Foreman, com- mander of the thirty-third division. McAndrews, who declared his ar ticle was misinterpreted, was de- scribed as joining hands with “rabicé pacifists” in a letter of protest sent to the school superintendent by Major Lee today. At the superindentend’s office it was made plain that no order had been issued on the subject in connection with Chicago schools. “The senti-| ments,” It was "said, “are simply “ex- pressed by the superintendent and have been overplayed and misinter- preted. Andrews’ suggestions that the tures referred to tended to “per- tuate the war spirit” were especial- surprising in ‘view of the fact that riotism has been stressed by him the most important aim of the public schools.
