@ DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1929. PLANTS PART OF FIVE YEAR PLAN Amtorg Reports on Work to Equip Farms Orders for 6,7 tractors and spare parts, the first large purchases of tractors made in accordance with the new Soviet five-year plan for agricultural development, have just been placed ‘y the Amtorg Trading Corporation and Selskosojus, Inc. with the International Marvester Company ind Deere and Company. These orders involve a large sum than any other similar purchases yet made for shipment to the Soviet Union. Partial credits up to three years were extended by the tractor manufacturing firms, representing a substantial improvement over previ- ous credit arrangements on similay purchases. “A part of the tractors, 5,900 of which were purchased from the In- ternational Harvester Company and 8550 from Deere and Company, wili be shipped next month for the cur- rent harvesting season and for winter sowing, but the bulk will be used in the 1930 spring sowing campaign. These shipments will make a sub- stantial addition to the 40,000 trac- tors now employed in the Soviet Union, over three-quarters of which are of American manufacture,” stated Saul G. Bron, Chairman of the Amtorg Trading Corporation. “In order to ensure the most effi- cient operation of tractors a number of Soviet technicians will come to this county to study with the Inter- national Harvester Company. In addition, the company wil send en- gineers to the Soviet Union to assis in the establishment of tractor repair shops. “With the completion of the Stal- ingrad tractor factory in the Lower Volga region and the expansion of the Leningrad and Kharkov factor- ies, Soviet tractor production will exceed 50,000 units per year. A de- cision has just been adopted by the Soviet authorities to construct an- other tractor plant, with an annual production capacity of 40,000 machines, at Cheliabinsk in the Urals. In spite of this construction activity, however, the five-year plan provides for increased imports of tractors to take care of the needs of Soviet state and collective farms, which are expected to have 47,000,- 000 acres under cultivation by 193: 3 MORE SWINDLE ARRESTS AT LAST Big City Trust Looters Still Protected Ordered one week ago by Gover- nor Roosevelt to take criminal ac- tion against leading swindlers re-| sponsible for the City Trust crash, Supreme Court Justice Crospsey has at last made his second arres the case by holding three henchr of the late Francesco M.

Third degree forgery is charged against Ziniti and Tavromina.

The speech that stood out among them was the one delivered by Eduardo Raoul Maecha, the leader of the famous Colombia banana workers’ strike, a 49-year-old In- dian, thin and wiry and as young looking as they make them, Im- pressive was his story of the heroic strike of the banana workers and of the massacre by native troops under orders of the United Fruit Co. of a thousand worker: after they had been surrounded.
