Some of its statements are | interesting and we place these on | record: “The Five Year Plan is in reality much more than an economic pro- gram, it is the actual element in which the Russian nation as totality, and each citizen of the state as in- dividual, is living. .. . If we take the economic year 1929-30 as totality, we find that the increased production of Russian industry lags behind the pre- estimate by amply 10 per cent. Nev- ertheless, the actual results obtained represent an increase of total indus- | trial production by almost 30 per cent | in the second year of the plan. Ex- ports were to increase by 40 per cent | in th esecond year; the actual in- crease has been only 25 per cent. Even the greatest opponents of the Soviets will have to admit these con- siderable achievements. Completely | new industrial centers are springing up, equipped with the most up-to- date workshops in the world. Twenty thousand kilometers of new railway lines are in course of construction, or are projectéd for the immediate fu- ‘ture. “The ‘Turksib’ railway, connecting ‘Turkestan with Siberia, is indulitably | @ brilliant technical performance. “At the present time the Soviet Union employs 300,000 foreign-born experts of highest and medium skill (mostly Americans and Germans) in Industry and agriculture. The gov- ernment intends increasing this num- ber to 750,000, so that there will be 500,000 foreign experts guiding indus- try and 250,000 in agriculture. In 1930-3) over 165,000 young Russians are ig educated, at the “expense of the government, in the technical and agricultural colleges, 253,009 in the technical and agricultural voca- tional schools. The government pro- vides in this year's budget—the third year of the plan—for the expenditure of 2 milliards of rubles for technical and agricultural instruction.” The “Aufwarts,” the organ of the German Christian Trade Unions, pubd- lishes an extremely interesting ar- ticle on the Soviet Union, from which we take the following: “The impending collapse of the Bolshevist system in Russia has been frequently prophesied. But again and again these expectations have not been fulfilled. They ‘have only served to confirm the fact that the picture drawn. of Russian conditions have seldom harmonized with the ac- tual facts. “At no time have economic condi- ‘tions played such an important role as at the present. The reason of this lies in the progress made in the PHILA. BANK CRASH HITS MANY (CONTINUED. FROM PAGE ONE) depositors against lawyers and poli- ticlans who are attempting to betray them. ° The bank officials of Philadelphia are trying to hand out the bunk that the closing of this huge institution “does not éffect” other banks in Philadelphia. -The same story was peddled in New Yor! when the Bank of the U.S. closed. Within two weeks afterwards the Chelsea Bank and Trust Co., with $20,000,000 in deposits and over 50,000 depositors crashed. ‘The fact of the matter is the closing of the Bankers Trust Co. must neces- sarily have an‘ effect on the entire economic structure of the country. Huge crow Samuel H. Barker, president of the bank issued a series of “optimistic” statements, but no money was handed | out to the depositors, many of whom | can’t eat without their savings. Thou- sands of them are jobless and had | denied themselves food while they worked so y could eat when out of work. Now their deposits are tied up with no idea given them as to Soviet Union. The capitalist coun- | tries regard economics in the light of mankind. The great crises are forces of nature, ¢4d as such unavoidable. | Bolshevism is prey to no such be- lief. To it economics are a task very well possible of accomplishment. “It is very necessary that mankind | sia with the closest attention, for mate aim of the world revolution. In order to gain a clear idea of these | conditions, we cannot avoid examin- ing the economic program of Russia, the Five Year Plan. And here the separate figures will be of less in-| j terest to us than the .general con- clusions to be drawn for them. “We may at the same time con- tent ourselves with the conclusions to be drawn from the close of the first year, since the figures for the second year bring no difference to | the total calculation. omic data issued by the Soviet Union may be taken in general as giving a stances, and they admit openly the cases in which a goal has not been reached.

The percentage between subscriptions and bundle orders in New York is 957 to 6657; Chicago, 868 to 2223; Detroit, 838 to 1694; Seattle, 82 to 453. What do we find in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh? The bundle order i is only 515 against a sub list of 413, Philadelphia should put on an increase of at least 250 a week between now and the end of the drive. This can be done by getting the Party membership into action and organizing Red Builders News Clubs. Pittsburgh city bundle order amounts to only ; 156. This is too low. When a city the size of | Sacramento, Cal., 5 days further away from the city of publication, can sell over 250 per day, Pittsburgh should be selling four times as much than it does at present. Other spots where bundle orders are weak are: Cleveland at 526; Boston at 95; St. Louis at 185. WEAK CITIES MUST BUILD UP BUNDLES All these cities must immediately set them- selves the task of building up their bundle orders, All members of the Communist Party, the Young Communist League, every sympath®tic worker, must be drawn into the drive. They must sell the Daily Worker before the shops, on the street and from house to house. Every possible jobless worker must be organized into Red Builders | Clubs. Every city must have one of these clubs. The failure of these cities is deadening the pro- gress of the campaign. EVERY PARTY MEMBER AND ® FUNCTIONARY RESPONSIBLE This criticism must not be construed as an attack on the Daily Worker representatives in these districts and cities. The responsibility for the situation must rest on the Party member- ship and all Party functionaries. Also it must be mentioned that the spots selected for re- view are not the only ones showing laxity. ALL CITIES MUST INTENSIFY CAMPAIGN All cities must greatly increase their activity. The total increase in circulation since the start of the drive, between 7,500 and 8,000, is less than a third of the final quota. The full circulation of* 60,000 will be demanded in this campaign. More action must be had on the sale of the Daily Worker before factories, from house to house and on the streets, Work on subscriptions must be increased. . im every city there must be built up Red News j Clubs. MASS CIRCULATION WILL FOLLOW ATTACK The crisis situation, with its unemployment, speed-up and wage slashes demands a mass circulation for the Daily Worker. The figure 60,000 was selected as one which could be at- tained. Every district and city must obtain its full quota, The 7,000 to 8,000 increases thus far proves that mass circulation must follow a determined attack, | was the socialist alderman, MANY RACKETS IN MCKEESPORT, PA. “Mayor and Police Run Joints respondent.)
