Under the direction of the Friends of the Soviet Union, this campaign 1s being spread into every section of the country. ‘The Strana Sovietov needs the fol- lowing equipment for the mechaniza~ tion of this vast collective farm: two trucks; a system of 20 telephones with 30 miles of line; a wind pump motor; a set of furniture for the children’s nursery; a Ford automo- bile; a combine; a 30 h.p. caterpillar tractor and a plow; a stump puller. ‘This will cost approximately $25,000.

I like to read it very much and look forward to the next issue. In this month's issue I read that the Pioneers are planning a new magazine and want someone to Suggest a name for it. I want to enter this contest. I have a few suggestions to make. When you have this new magazine why not have_a story written in it (a work- ers’ story) and have it continued every month until finished, just like the Daily Worker had the “City of Bread.” The story must haye something that ‘the Pioneers of all ages will understand. ‘The name I suggest for the new magazine is “The Pioneéf Star.” back an accurate report of conditions there. They will also be the guests of Strana Sovietov and will yisit all the important industrial and agricul- tural centers of the U.S.S.R. All trade waions and workers’ fraternal organ- izations are urged to get on the job at once in the campaign to equip Strana Sovietov and to send the May First Delegation. Individual workers, as well, can do their bit to help build Socialism in the only Workers Repub- lic in the world.

At the same time, oppressive measures by the capitalists against the working class as a whole and against the masses of hungry unemployed in par- ticular, are the order of the day. The main aim of the bourgeoisie in these measures is to silence and suppress the Communist Party becayse that Party is the only spokesman for the interests and the only organizer and leader for the struggles of the work- ing class. ‘The Communist Party cf the United States, as part of our Communist In- |, organizes and leads the workers for the struggle against wage- cuts and against the worsening of the working conditions in the shops. ‘The Communist Party of the United States, as part of the Communist International, organizes and leads the pingaihisd the struggle for relief for oll ay Slag and for unemploy- | ternational, organizes and leads the | workers in the struggle for the pro- | tection of the foreign-born workers. | The Communist Party of the United States, as part of the Communist In- ternational, organizes and leads the workers for the defense of the Soviet Union. ‘The Communist Party of the United States, as part of the Communist In- ternational, organizes and leads the workers for the struggle against im- perialist war. Without, the Communist Party as the leader and organizer of the work- ing class the workers would be un- able to resist the attacks of the cap- italists. Not to resist the attacks of the capitalists would mean for the workers starvation, unbearable ex- ploitation, and their slaughter for profit on the battlefields of an im- perialist war. Relying on the sanction and the help of the whole capitalist class, its government machinery and its Fish Committee, a handful of petty-bour- geols, strengthened by a few rene- fades, are organizing to defeat Com- munist leadership and Communist policies in the Laisye Publishing Cor- poration.

We know that the masses of proletarian shareholders in the Laisve Publishing Corporation, who have in the past fought ‘for and maintalned revolu- tionary class struggle policies in the Lalsve, will rally for the maintenance of these policies and for the defeat of the enemy that is now trying to talse its head, These shopkeepers ‘and Tenegades are very careful to cover up their fight with protestations of loyalty to Communist principles.
