Melnichansky, chairman of the Moscow Trades and Labor Council, who opened the congress, greeted the tes in the name of the trade Declaring that the Congress e when an im- ainst the Soviet m was being planned, he congrat- ulated the Congress for its proposal o discuss means of defending the first workers’ and peasants’ govern- ment. Delegates Start Congress. The Congress was started at the suggestion of the British delegation Melnichansky explained, and met with instant support from the other delega- tions. Representing the British workers’ delegation, Will Lawther declared that the demonstrations on November 7th had made the British delegates see things in a new light, and had made them determined to prevent an attack against the Soviet Union. Del- egates, he said ould on their return describe the achievements of the Sov- |« iet Union. Rykov’s Report. Reporting on conditions in the Sov- iet Union, Rykov deciared that the U.S. S. R. workers could continue the task of transforming society only with the aid of workers and peasahts thru- out the world. Conditions in the Sov- iet Union should not be compared with conditions in capitalist countries, Ry- kov said, but should be compared with conditions that existed in Czarist Rus- sia. “The two main premises of Social- ist construction,” Rykov continued, “are the nationalization of the means 6f production, land and the foreign trade monopoly; secondly, the dictat- orship of the proletariat based on an alliance of workers and peasants. Points to Progress. “The success due to the introduction of careful planning in the introduc- tion of national economy ensures the socialization of industry,” he declared. “The backwardness of industrial de- velopment and the disproportion of GREETINGS ° to the 10th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution, From Street Nucleus 10 Detroit, Mich.

THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1927 | agriculture and industry are being rapidly overcome. Referring to the much-discussed question of the kulak (or well-to-do peasant), Rykov pointed out that the fact that the land belonged to the State made it impossible for him to reach affluence. He vigorously denied statements that had appeared in the capitalist press that the seven-hour day had been introduced as a propa- ganda measure.” 6 Workers in Leading Role. “The Soviet Government,” he de- elared, “cannot deceive workers and retain its power.” Distingutshing be- tween rationalization in capitalist countries and in the Soviet Union, he {declared that in the former it was jcarried out at the expense of the workers while in the U. S. S. R. out- put was increased to improve the con- ditions of the working class. Pointing out the leading role of the workers and peasants in the adminis- |tration of the U. S. S. R., Rykov de- clared that the p ntage of work- ers on the Central Executive Commit- tee of the Soviet Union was 33.6, of peasants 21,3 and of office workers 32.8; in the city Soviets of the five republics the percentage of workers is 46.6, of peasants 4.9 and of office workers 31.6. If democracy meant the participation of the masses in the administration of the country, Rykov declared, then the Soviet Union is the | most democratic country in the world. } U. S. 8S. R. Wants Peace. Referring to the Soviet Union’s at- titude toward Mensheviks and Social Revolutionaries, Rykov declared that these parties are affiliated with the Second International engagetl in di- rect conflict with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, he said, cannot per- mit those opposed to the revolution to work for its overthrow. That the foreign policy of the Sov- iet Union, Rykov concluded, is work- ing for peace in an effort to build up socialism is proved by the offer of the Soviet Union to conclude non-aggres- sion pacts with all countries, The Congress of the Friends of the Soviet Union began today a discussion of Rykov’s report. Clara Zetkin ad- dressed the congress in the name of the Communist International and the German Communist Party, and de- clared that the fact that the highest representative of the Soviet govern- ment reports to delegates of the world’s workers on his stewardship shows the international responsibility felt by those who represent the Sov- jiet Union. Forge for Peace. The Soviet Union, Zetkin pointed out, is a tremendous force for peace jas only by undisturbed peace is it | possible to build up a socialist order. | The delegates on their return to their respective countries must clear up | the misgivings prevailing even among |the workers of reformist. organiza- | tions. The Soviet Union, she declared, jis strong enough to smash any enemy but the full guarantee for the work- Jers’ republic is only possible when encircled by a ring of countries in | which the red flag flies. Chinese Workers Speak. Delegate Siang brought to the con- |gress the greetings of thirty-three | million Chinese workers and peasants, jand stated that the Bolshevik revolu- |tion and the achicvements of the Sov- jiet Union had broken the chain of | imperialist oppression, The great |achievements outlined in Rykov’s re- |port, said Siang, made the imperial- lists hate and fear the Soviet Union. |The British imperialists not only op- press Chinese workers, but-also Brit- ish workers, he continued, and to com- bat the common danger, the toilers of the world must arm to destroy their enemies. For World Revolution. Siang appealed to the congress not to forget the Chinese revolution: “success for the Bolshevik revolution, success for the Chinese revolution, and success for the world revolution.” Shepmann, a miner, and a member of the Social Democratic Party brought the greetings of the German workers. He said that Rykov’s report showed the Soviet Union is solving its fundamental economic problems. The Russians made the Bolshevik re- volution, said Shepmann, not only for their own sake but for the workers of all countries. Smash the Lies.

These theses -have been approved by the Central Committee and the Centrai Controlling Commission of the Com- munist Party of the Union of So- cialist Soviet Republics. In regard to foreign trade the theses made note of the necessity of an active trade balance. In connec- tion with the straining of relations between the capitalist world and the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, the five years’ economic plan must provide for the accumulation of goods and currency reserves, In the industrial field the theses note the necessity of increasing the means of production. The most rapid tempo of development must be in those branches of heavy industry which within the briefest space of time raise the economic might and defensive capacity of the Soviet Union. Tho small industry is to be included into the sphere of influence of state and cooperative organs, it must be covered by the cooperative movement, must be united and ra- tionalized. As for rural economy, the plan must be based on the imperative nec- essity of an all-round progress of ag- riculture and its rapid industrializa- tion, The plan must provide for capi- tal investments in agriculture both by the peasants themselves and on the part of the state budget. With reference to the monetary cir- culation and credit the plan must rest on the necessity of systematically raising the purchasing power of the tchervonetz. The issue of paper cur- rency must be limited by dimensions commensurate with the growth of the goods exchange. At the same time, as the budget is being constantly in-! creased, it is necessary to provide for budget reserves. The five years’ economic plan must devote particular attention to the de- velopment of economically backward Bazaar for Jewish Farm Colonization in Soviet Russia, Chicago Nov. 25 CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 11.—The city committee of “Icor’ (Jewish Coloni- zation for Soviet Russia—an organi- zation to found farm colonies of Jew- ish people) is supervising arrange- ments for a bazaar here which will have as good a stock as a depart- ment store.

C., Nov. 11. — |There is evidently money to be made “enforeing” the prohibition law. An unprecedented rush for prohibi- tion jobs has made it impossible for the civil service to complete examin- ations and certify lists of eligibles to the treasury. There are ten appli- eants for dvery one of the 3,500 jobs in the dry army, despite the low sal- ary range of from 1,600 to $6,000 an- nually.
