You surely know that we have no question of unemploy- | , Since we have reached great} achievements in our contruction. ment here and no idlers at al Kharkov, U.S.S.R- In the year of 1931, 518 new factories, workshops and large plants will start to operate. We will create 1,040 new tractor stations, since the Socialist re-| construction of the village is rapidly® marching ahead. Two-thirds of the village popula- tion are in the “kholkhoz” (collective farms) and communities, occupying three-fourths of the (sowing) soil. The Russian peasant is throwing away his old tool—the horse—and is training himself to the new agricul- tural equipments: the tractor, com- bine and others. Under the leader- ship of the proletarian leader, Com- | rade Stalin, we will reach in our third deciding year of the “Piatiletka” ex- traordinary records of achievements for the proletariat and peasantry of the great land of the Soviets. And on the other hand we see that | in the capitalist countries, where you live, the unemployment is growing steadily, poverty and terror of the working masses, crisis and terrible conditions of the workers and peas- ants. We know that the capitalist society is narrowing to its end; and it appears strange when we hear that many workers of those countries still have confidence in the leaders of the second international. Is it possible that they don’t understand that the second international, or to be correct, the leaders of the second interna- | tional are the saviours of capitalism? Prepare for War Don't you see, that the capitalist are preparing bloody struggles against | the workers? Don’t you see, the eco- nomic crisis had a very bad effect on all the industries, but the military, that is growing bisger and stronger?

In the new cabinet the ministers of Interior and Defense have been united into one post which is occupied by the last quarter-master general of the Kais- sers army, Groener. This means the combining of the police forces of all of the states with the national armed forces. It is a consolidation of all of the armed forces of the capitalist state for the attack on the German workers, for the establish- ment of an open fascist dictatorship in order to crush the German work- ing-class. In this preparation for the attack on the German workers with the what they saw in the U.S.S.R. Wheth- er we have any forced labor. Let Lady Astor tell you about that and what she saw in reality about our great accomplishments. Under the leadership of the Communist Party we, the builders of Kharkov Tractor | factory have built the factory in 12 months, and turned it over to the metal workers. The metal workers are also speed- ing up their work for immediate op- eration using their speed method of socialistic competition of quantity and quality. The rest of the workers, in completing the construction of the factory following the example and the methods of the builders and the metal workers, proceeding to speed up the work. With the same Bol- shevist speed, the metal workers will fulfill their annual quota of 50,000 tractors for the “kholkhoz” (collec- tive farming). In conclusion, I want to ask you, dear comrades, to help us in arrang- ing international contacts between us metal workers of the USSR and the metal workers of the same type—trac- tor plans in your country. Let us know the address of these plants and help us to strengthen our contacts also with the builders of other enter- prices in the Soviet Union. —M. J.

If a single man or a man and wife go to the so-called charities for help they will tell him that they don’t want single people or where there is only two in the family, but they don’t tell him when they are can- vasing the city for the so-called charity.

FROM 40 NATIONS ‘Preparing Increased Work for Coming Big Struggles | (Cable by Inprecorr.) BERLIN, Oct. 10 — The Eighth Congress of the Workers Interna- tional Relief opened today. Duening- haus greeted the delegates in the name of the German section. Willi Muenzenberg who spoke in the name of the executive recalled the first Congress a decade ago when fiften delegates were present, whereas to- day delegates from forty countries were present. His reference to the numerous members of the W. I. R. who were killed in the revolutionary struggle caused the delegates to rise in silent homage to their memory. A presidium was elected consisting of twenty-seven members including Abolin, Remmele, Klara Zetkin, Bar- busse, Muenzenberg, Tom Mann and Misiano. Remmele greeted the Con- gress in the name of the Communist International, praised the achieve- ments of the W..I. R. and declared that the coming greater struggles de- manded increased work. .Abolin, del- egate from the Soviet Union, re- minded the Congress that there were fourteen million members in the Soviet Union corporatively affiliated with the W. I. R. and stressed the importance of solidarity work. ‘The appearance of Klara Zetkin, veteran revolutionist, at the Congress caused wild cheering. eZtkin declared in a short speech that the W. I. R. absolutely rejected the principles of bourgeois charity” activities and was fighting for the organization of pro- letarian solidarity and important means for mobilizing the masses. As eZtkin was unable to speak long, the rest of her message was read from manuscript. Ledebour greeted the Congress, ex- pressing support of the W. I. R. as a non-party organization of prolet- arlan solidarity. After speeches of greetings, Kuntz for the Berlin district of the Com- munist Party and Knittel for the Communist Youth International and lothers closed the opening session. Comission sessions sit tomorrow. BAR REDS FROM LUZERNE BALLOT Mass Protest Against Action of County WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Oct. 7.—The Luzerne county commissioners have flatly refused to put the Commun- ist candidates on the ballot, and give as their reason that the 1,100 names of workers on the lists are not suf- ficient. The Luzerne officials de- man¢@ 1,300. ‘ This is just a swindle by the coun- ty authorities. Communist Election Campaign Committee here has a let- ter from the state government in Harrisburgh that 1,067 names are re- quired to place candidates on the ballot in Luzerne county. In addi- tion, the very county officials who now ask 1,300 names have twice with- in the last two months, on applica- tion of the Campaign Committee, fixed the number at 1,067. There- fore, the Campaign Committee col- lected ten full lists, a total of 1,100 names, and came up Monday to the county offices here to file the can- didacies, and were turned down, The Communist Party will expose this trickery through a series of mass meetings here and in other cities of the county, and workers’ mass organ- izations are passing resolutions de- manding that the worker candidates have their place on the ballot. ‘ Similar action has already forced officials of Cambria county to res* cind their decision to bar the Com- munist candidates.

The Socialists are trying by all means in their power to prevent the working-class from or- ganizing against this planned estab- lishment of the open fascist dictator- ship in Germany. The New York Times reports that: “ The Socialists appear inclined to view the appointment of General Greener as the best solution under the circumstances. They recall that he has never openly identified himself with Nationalist elements and is known to have incurred their displeasure with the consis- tent fearlessness with which he has preceded against the anti-Repub- lican machinations of the Reich- wehr.” The Socialists are trying to make the German workers believe that Groener, whom the capitalist class has chosen to carry through its fas- cist dictatorship, is a saviour of the German hunger “republic.” The Socialists are trying to make the workers believe that the present BOSS POWERS ACT TO WAR ~ ON SOVIETS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ON™D? up China into outright colonies. Anti-imperialist Protests On Saturday monster anti-imper- ialist demonstrations took place throughout China on the occasion of the so-called National Holiday. Only the armed surveillance of Chiang Kai Shek’s troops kept these demon- strations from turning into revolu- tionary marches against Japanese and other foreign imperialists. In Shanghai alone 80,000 workers and 30,000 students marched. The whole Chinese population is being aroused to strong anti-imperialist actions, and there is talk in the cap- italist press that the Chiang Kai Shek government may be forced out and a government “more favorable to | Moscow” put into power, In this way the capitalist papers express the growing sympathy for revolutionary overthrow of imperialism that is stirring the Chinese masses. To com- bat this the imperialists, while they |bicker among themselves, seek to solve the whole question by war against the Soviet Union. A New York Times cable on Sun- day from Paris, expressing the at- titude of the League of Nations, shows that all the imperialists are concerned about the Soviet Union, and regard the workers’ republic as a strong bulwark against Japanese and American imperialist drive for the carving up of China. The Times cable says: The attitade of Russia is also giving cause for worry, and there are reports that China, angered by the refusal of the League to ex- pouse her cause, is thinking of turning te Moscow for sympathy and. support. “The Council will pay special at- tention to methods of localizing the trouble and, above all, of insuring Russia’s neutrality. Should an ac- tual state of war develop, however, it is very much doubted if Russia would remain indifferent to events at her Far Eastern door.” ‘The talk about “insuring Russia's neutrality,” and the note of Stimson to the League of Nations calling for common action, shows that the im~- perialists are using the present sit- uation for a proposed war against the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, the Japanese imper- ialists, as well as Wall Street, are forced to remove their diplomatic masks. The Japanese insist they will continue to hold on to Man- churia and Wall Street says it will act to “protect” China’s and Wall Street's interests. A complete endorsement of the general imperialist drive to make of China a complete colony of the va- rious imperialist powers was made on Saturday by Herbert Adams Gib- bons, American:.historian, ‘speaking at Princeton, Gibbons declared that the Japanese imperialists were right in marching into Manchuria to ex- tend their control. “You can just as soon conceive of Japan retiring from Manchuria now as you can fancy the American government @eaving the Panama Canal Zone,” said Gibbons. He favored a more aggressive drive Printing Employes. for colonies. Prepare Open Fascist Rule | Against German Workers) ization of Control of Armed Forces Thru Groener Appointment | “democratic” dictatorship of Bruen- ing is basically different from the open fascist dictatorship the capital- ist clas is preparing with the ap- pointment of Groener. The Times Teports that: The tone of the Vorwaerts com- ment indicates that the Social De- mocrats are not likely for the pres- ent to abandon their benevolent neutrality.” The “benevolent neutrality” of the Socialists is their vicious open trea~ chery in the face of the decisive steps toward open fascism being taken by the Bruening government for the German capitalist class. The visit of Hitler, head of the National Socialists, the fascist or- ganization, to Hindenburg is not ac- | cidental. It is part of the prepara- tion of the capitalist class for the | establishment of the open dictatorsip. The visit to Hindenburg was for the purpose of giving Hitler information as to what was going to occur and that of the Nazis in the attempt at open fascist dictatorship. On Mon- capitalist head of the Nationalists, for the purpose of uniting their forces for the class battles in the immediate future. An interview of Hindenberg with Hugenberg occurred several weeks ago. The interview of Hitler with Hindenberg was de- layed until Saturday last so*that the outlines of the fascist dictatorship, in the form of the new cabinet with Groener occupying the posts of leadership of the armed forces in the attack on the German workers, was completed. The times points this out..in the following: “Its postponement until after Chancellor Bruening had constiuted his second Cabinet is interpreted as conforming te the Chancellor's wish that the fascist leader be per- | mitted to acquaint himself with the make-up of the new govern- ment, especially as concerns the role assigned to General Wilhelm Groener, who, as both Minister of Defense and Minister of the In- terior, will direct the Reich's agen- cles for the maintenance of law and order.” While the preparations for the fascist putsch are proceeding, the financial situation of Germany ap- proaches closer and closer to a state of collapse. The loss of gold con- tinues and the gold behind the Ger- man currency is now at the lowest level for several years. SELL OUT GLEN ALDEN STRIKERS Rank and File Shoul?

Unemployment is very severe here. Some men have not worked for four years.

The editor of the Annalist points out that even if the big banks which are subscribing to the credit pool did, thru the pool, take over the | “frozen” assets of the banks on the verge of bankruptcy, this ‘would not change the chard@@ter of these assets one bit. They are “frozen” no mat- ter in whose hands they are. Baker, of the Annalist, writes: “Such methods however, would not in themselves get rid of the | frozen loans and securities, but would transfer the load from banks unable to carry it to a corp- oration which is able to carry it. The liquidity of the banking situ- ation as a whole would not be im- proved, but portions of the existing liquidity would be supplied to banks which now dangerously lack it.” ‘The other part of the Hoover plan was to have the Federal Reserve act changed so that the Federal Re- serve banks could invest in second grade securities also. The changes are such, according to the government experts, that the “frozen” assets will not be included in them. ‘The Fed- eral Reserve will continue to invest in the best securities tho perhaps of slightly different character, but the “frozen” assets of the small banks will remain with the small banks until them go bankrupt. One of the government experts said that? “The Reserve banks cannot take over ‘bad paper, The assets of failed banks upon which advances counted must be of intrinsic value upon which at least the amount of the advance can be realized.” ‘The Annalist also points out the significance of the Hoover plans for the changes in the Federal Reserve system. “It seems a reasonable expecta- tion that the Finance Committee of the Senate will not permit the Reserve Banks to take into their Portfolios the depreciated securities and frozen finance paper which are main sources of the difficul- ties which it is now attempted to smooth out.” As the result of the worsening eco- nomic situation of the United States and the financial war against the dollar in Europe by France, the ex- port of gold from the United States continues at very high levels.

Write to us for more details about this From ronx a comrade wh signs himself “A Sympathizer Who May Be Wrong,” suggests that there are thousands of workers who can’t afford even three cents for a paper, and “would it not be a good idea to distribue the Daily Worker at least once in a while free of charge, as I am sure there are plenty of workers who would like to know how the | struggle is going on.” | We agree with teh comrade that it is a good idea, but we're afraid it has to stay being an idea, Even as it is the Daily makes no money on street sales, in fact, it runs at a deficit on these sales, and the only way it can make up for this deficit is by subscriptions. And we have to keep working hard and pegging away at our district agents to get us enough subscriptions to keep the Daily going. You can see that if the deficit from street distribution were greater, even for one day, we just couldn’t make ends meet, and there would be no Daily Worker even for those who could afford three cents for a paper. The thing for the comrade from the Bronx and for all other com- rades who are interested in a daily paper for workers to do is to go out and get as many subscriptions as possible. That is the backbone of the Daily that keeps it from going under. For example, Comrade J. J. from Pawtucket, R. I, hasn't any two much money, but he writes: “I am sending a $1 bill in this letter. My Daily Worker subse ion ran out on Sept. 29, but I will send another dollar next week and a dollar the week after.” This is the spirit that keeps the Daily Worker going. the “theoretical” limits. The Eao- nomist says “Current estimates vary and no rigid calculation is possible, for long before the final limit has been reached credit restriction, monetary stringency and a general deteriora- tion of morale would haye devel- oped to an intolerable degree.” “It seems likely, therefore, that the potential threat to America’s gold is sufficient to cause incon- venience, even if partially carried out, and this week's increase in the New York rediscount rate is in- dicative of this.” Thus while the capjtalist press hat to admit that the program of Hoover can not relieve the present finan- cial situation to any degree the out- flow of gold means that the economic situation is becoming rapidly worse and that the financial structure of the United States will be faced in the very near future with tremend- ous shocks to its stability.
