Page Four’ DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, § SATU RDAY. NOVEMBER 2, 1929 Enthusiastic Receptions | by Workers Everywhere Meet “Land of Soviets” On October 1 and of joviets” arrived in 1s first anding point on American soil. The aur imperial Soviet flye after heir perilous flight acro: wat- ts of northern Asia and the un- hartered northern Pacific ocean, overed the coast route oi a thou- and miles from Waterfall, Alaska, 2 Seattle in 10 hours and 10 min- ites, despite the fact that they vere compelled to slow dewn by trong headwinds. At the landing ‘ace in Seattle great throngs urned out to greet the flyers with ndescribable er.thusiasm. The same enthusiasm marked the eceptions of the flyers at every oint of landing. Throughout ihe nited States from Seattle to San ‘rancisco, to Chicago and Detroit none of the enormous gathering laces has been found adequate to ouse the vast masses that turned ut to greet the “Land of Soviets” nd its four imperial flyers. Hundreds of thousands of work- rs in America celebrating the light, are thrilled with pride that n its constant battle with the hail, og, tsorm, snow and dangerou onditions, the plane designed by a Joviet engineer, and built in Soviet yalnts, has demonstrated in this 2,000-mile flight, that it is the qual, if not the superior, of planes uilt by the capitalist powers. The flyers made nearly 10,000 ailes of the flight in 100 hours of | etual flying time, in adngerous aosphereis and geographic con ions, flying sometimes as high as ,000 meters, over pitting moun- ains, sometimes as low as five | aeters above water, beside much blind” flying; but one of the note- orthy elements of the flight was he complete absence of reck dventuring to make a “speed rec- spirit fostered in capitalistic coun- ries, has cost the lives of thusands 7 airmen and passengers. But the Soviet Union is careful fher flyers. The Osoayiakluin, with its mil- ions of workers and peasant bai rs of the flight, demanded “safety irst” fer the flyers—the slogan for oll aviation in the Soviet Union. Semyon Shestakon and his three omrades weer pledged not to make peed their aim, and they redeemed heir pledge with true discipline. In- tead of t aking foolhardy chances, hey took advantage of delay due 2 bad weather conditions, to make arful surveys and compile, in the aterest of transpacific aviation, | ‘eographis and atmospheric data, Il along the unhereto uncharted 2orth Pacific route. “Seldom, if ever,” the capitalist ‘ew York Times was compelled to) ‘eclare editorially, “have aviators ‘aced such hazards as Semyon Shes- akov and his companions triumphed ver, before coming down at Se-| ttle. ..

S. S, R. The “Friends of the Soviet Union” is an international organization, | with headquarters in eBrlir. The | need for an American section of the F. 8. U. is especially urgent at this time when the Soviet Union capitalist powers of the world. At/ this moment, when the Chinese militarists, backed by world im: | perialism and allied with the White | Guardists, is indulging in contin- uous provocations against the workers and peasants of the Seviet Union, all the workers and the friends of the Soviet Union must rally to the defense of the Proletar- ian Revolution and its achievements. The two main slogans eround which the defenders of the Soviet | Union must be rallied are: | Defend the Soviet Union Against | World Imperiatism! And Recogni- | tion of the Soviet Union by the/ United States Government! In 1921-22, when the Soviet Union was in the gvip of famine, the then existing “Friends of Soviet Russia” | came to the aid of the workers “-¢ PIONEERS FIGHT peasants of the U. S. S. R., supply- ing them with millions of dollars’ worth of food, clothing, and other necessities. Today, among its varied activities in behalf ofthe Soviet Union, the for funds to purchase tractors and trucks which will be sent to the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union as an expression of solidar- ity from the American workers and friends, and as a tribute to the mighty achievements in the task of socialist construction. Many organizations are partici- pating in this campaign and a con- siderable sum has arleady been raised. The tractors and trucks will be conveyed to the Soviet workers and peasants by a special delegation representing the various contribut- ing organizations, This delegation will be. afforded an opportunity to see Soyiet life and a lustry and to report back to the American work- ers upon their return. It is the policy of the F, 8. U. to bring the workers and peasants of the Soviet Unton and the workers and farmers of this country into a yelationship of the closest solidsr- ity. To this end it has recently gent, in response to an invitation from the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union, a delegation of workers from the shops, factories, mines, mills and farms to celebrate Anniversary of the Russian Revolu- tion and the achievements of the First Workers’ Republic in building socialism in every field. This visit will acquaint the workers and farm- ers of the United States with the achievements o fthe First Workers’ and Peasants’ Republic, and will | rooms in the principal cities of the In this country, many unions, shops, mills and mines elected dele- gates. Among the delegates were a numb>r of workers from the auto- mobile, metal, textile, needle axd| shoe industries, including represen- tatives of the Needle Trades Work- ers Industrial Union; of the Inde- pendent Shoe Workers Union; and K. O. Byers, one of the recently reelased. Gastonia prisoners and a member of the National ‘Textile Workers Union. The F. 8. U. aims to bring before | the American workers truthful and authentic accounts of the industrial, political, and cultural activities of | the peonles of the Soviet Union. It has therefore decided to publish a monthly pictorial magazine, and to establish Information Bureau and headquarters with clubs and reading country. Who is welcome in the ranks of the F. 8. U.?

When the principal of the Roose- yelt Jr. High School, Mr. Speer- brecher, learned that a new. Pioneer group had just been organized in his school, and found out the names of the Pioneers, he called them down to his office, and threatened to ex- pel them from the school if they did} not quit the Pioneers. Two children were terrorized, and all of them except one signed a statement saying that they would) not be Pioneers any longer. One of the Pioneers, though, Joel | Schnieder, refused to submit, and stood ‘up for his rights..- For this he was expelled from the school! When the workers’ children or- ganize to fight for better conditions, the “socialists” expel them from the schools. The Tammany government | of New York jailed Harry Hisman fer six months, and persecutes the children when they go on the picket lines with their parents!. Thus we see that the “socialist” party is the same as any other boss party, and it fights against, and be- trays the workers! Demand the reinstatement of the Pioneer who was expelled! Demand the freedom of Harry Eisman! Join the Young Pioneers and fight against the bosses terror in school.
