From an international viewpoint | our victorious success in the con- | atrnotion of socialism shows to the | workers and toilers of all countries | that the future belongs not to the | rule of the bourgeoisie, but to the ictatorship of the proletariat, that facts speak against capitalism in favor. om socialism.” “From the Soviet viewpoint, the fact that we are taking up the | tasks of the second Five-Year Plan, represents one of the decisive tests | as to the leadership given the peas- ant masses by the working class, after the overthrow of the power of the bourgeoisie. “Socialism is being built not only in the city, but in the village. From the economic viewpoint our successes | are the successes of planned socialist | construction. The fundamental Len- inist question of ‘who will beat whom’ has been decided against capitalism and in favor of socialism. “Not everything duriog these years followed the exact outlines of the Five-Year Plan. For instance, it was not planned that at the end of the Five-Year Plan unemployment in our country would be fully abolished. “In respect to the economic tasks ‘of the first Five-Year Plan, the Party introduced such revision as the creation of a new metallurgical base in the East Ural Cuznetzk dis- triet. | “Thus, the amendments to the | Five-Year Plan which were intro- | duced were not bad amendments, | which every worker in the U.S.S.R. was fully prepared to support. We Jong outstripped the tempo of col- Jectivization and construction of Sovkozes provided by the Five-Year Plan. This, too, was a very sub- stantial amendment to the Five- | Year Plan, but not a bad one.” Molotov iurther notes some defects | in the fulfillment of the Five-Year Plan. Thus labor productivity, crops, | railroad reconstruction estimates were not quite fulfilled. Mc otoy recalled the most import- | ant ‘tage in the struggle of the Party against the so-called “left” and right deviationists, emphasizing that the struggle against such deviations, par- ticularly the right danger as a prin- cipal danger, was inevitable in the future as well. “According to the Trotskyist plat- form (before the 15ih Party Con- gress), the Party thesis on the Five- Year Plan led to the triumph of anti-proletarian tendencies. It is not funny te read this four years Jater?” “Regarding the Party policy in the village, the counter thesis of the ‘Trotskyist opposition maintained that there is speedy growth of cap- ilalist elements in agriculture based upon small commodity production? | Dependence of the state ‘economy upon kulok-capitalist elements con- sequently stows to the fields of raw material, food and exports.” | “Ask our kulaks now, alter three | | Demonstrations on Feb. 4 Spur Fight on Hunger, Boss War {CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) FOR SOCTALISM, center.

Thus in | the U.S.S.R. we have a new type of | state developing in the direction of | a clossless society. “The question arises,” Molotov con- | tinued, “what will our state be like! at the end of the second Five-Year | Plan?” Molotov unfolded the theo- retical analysis of the state under socialism as given by Marx and Lenin. “Our state,” Molotov said, “is in reality some transitional form of state which will gradually die and com- pletely disappear under full Commu~ nism. At the first stage of Commu- nism, that is under socialism,’ the! state power exists for the complete abolition of the causes breeding the exploitation of man by man. “The second Five-Year Plan must destroy all antagonism between city and village, wresting the latter from age old darkness.” Molotov further emprasized that that second Fivé-Year Plan raised for the first time in history the task of raising the material and cultural standards of the toilers two to three killed an unemployed, worker who demanded shelter and food at flop house at 1210 S. Morgan St. The unemployed worker was beaten uv,then taken to the police station where he died.

The troops are ex-| pected to arrive at Shanghai on Sat-/ urday. Yesterday, after again raining death from their bombing planes, | field guns and warships on the! working class section of Chapei in Shanghai, the Japanese were ad-| mittedly still far from their objec-| tive of capturing the city, which is) the gateway to the rich Yangtze! Valley. In addition to the defeat of their | marines, the Japanese were défeated in the air yesterday when for the first time since the beginning of the | savage bombardment of Shanghai, now in its ninth day, a fleet of Chinese planes was sent to Shanghai to fight the Japenese air forces. In an aerial battle over Shanghai, the Chinese airmen shot down a Japan- ese plane and forced two others to make forced landings, within the Jap- anese lines. Chinese anti-aircraft gunners, equipped with antiquated anti-aircraft guns, accounted for an- other Japanese plane which engaged in dropping incendiary bombs on the homes of Chinese workers. | The arrival of Nanking planes coincides with the development of the present tense situation between the imperialist powers and indicates tion with the present pressure being exerted on the Japanese to restrain | Japanese Admit International Loot- ing of China Is Aim of Attacks, With the fleets of the United} States, England, France and Italy gathering at Shanghai to protect their interests and make sure of | their part of the loot, the Japanese yesterday openly admitted that the Savage war on the Chinese masses was for the international looting of China. A Tokyo dispatch to the New York Tribune reports: “A government spokesman said today that Japan probably would consent to international control of alarm over the fact that the Jap-, anese attacks on the Chinese masses have not only not succeeded in crush- ing the resistance of the masses but are further rousing the workers and| peasants throughout China and bringing new sections of the toiling | masses into the revolutionary strug- gle against imperialism. | This alarm is reflected in a con- fidential letter sent to American financiers on Feb. 2 by the Waley Eaton Service. The letter states, in part: “. , . Japanese aggression may readily drive all China into the arms of Communism. Moreover, should Japan encounter some real setbacks in her military operations, Tokio itself might not be safe from Communistic elements.” Japanese Crisis Gets Worse. The letter admits that the eco- nomic and financial.crisis in Japan is constantly deepening. It says: “. . . The economic position of Japan has been very grave for some time. All of the bad conditions that are evident in the United States, for instance, have taken even more ruinous form in Japan. Farms have been unable to endure the fall in prices and many of them haye been taken over under mortgage. Intervention by the gov- ernment has not sufficed to pre- vent bank failures and ‘mergers’ have been resorted to on a some- what lavish scale. The British went off gold and were able to undersell Japan in Asian markets and the Chinese boycott hurt. The government found it impossible to continue its policy of rationaliza- tion and stabilization and specula- tion for the fall in yen exchange proved too heavy burden to carry.” Admitting the murderous device of the imperialists of seeking a way out of the crisis at the expense of - the blood of the toiling masses, the let- ter further ‘states: “It is an old device, in the face of such unsatisfactory domestic conditions, to divert the public at~ tention to foreign fields, employment in the army to the idle, to depend on foreign exploita~ tion to pay the cost and actually enrich the treasury. The oppor- tunity offered, therefore, for Japan to kill two birds with one stone, easing her domestic difficulties and at the same time realizing her great ambition on the mainland.” Other Imperialists in Same Murder- ous Gamble.

Mass Anger Flames Up in Yangtze Valley. | Mass anger against the Japanese is flaming up in Hankow, important industrial city 400 miles from Nank- ing up the Yangtze River. Hankow is beleaguered by the Chinese Red Army. The Kuomintang militarists have declared martial law in the city in fear of an uprising of the workers to welcome the Chinese Red Army. A dispatch from Hankow to the New York Times reports further: “Japanese in Hankow, where | Chinese animosity toward them has fighting broke out, worked fever- ishly to fortify their concession today. “Barbed wire barricades and | sandbag fortifications were thrown up.

There never was and never will be any chance of disarmament under capitalism.

The workers of Oregon have been flooding the state supreme court with protests demand- ing the freedom of Boloff, who is out on his personal recognizance until his case is decided. The importance of increased pro- tests from all over the country is seen in the Scottsboro cases and the following quotation from a letter by a prominent Orgeon jurist to Good- man, Martin L. Pipes, well known Ore- gon jurist wrote voluntarily to Good- man on Boloff. The following quota- tions are from his letter which in its entirety is used in the filed petition: “As nearly everybody else, I think your client suffers an injustice by the decision of the supreme court. The decision is a precedent and it effects every individual in the state.” It is not a crime to ad- vocate a change of government.

While pre- viously the criisrion for our succes: was pre-war level, now we have a new ‘socialist criterion; the successes of the second Five-Year Plan will be meas- ured in comparison with the results of the first Five-Year PPlan, At the same time Lenin’s slogan of ‘Catch | the end of the first Five-Year Plan.)

It is necessary to seriously consider this. Molotoy further drew the picture of the ruling classes in the capitalist countries at the present stage, de- scribing the demoralization og bour- geois ps¥cholozy, illustrating this by references to the foreign press. | The main hero of the foreign press in 1931 was the king of the Chicago | underworld, Al Capone, to wrom the foreign press according to calcula- tions of American journalists, devoted in 1931 over one and one-half mil- lion newspaper columns more than Hoover. Whilst capitalist society is degenerating, the USSR is undertak- ing unprecedented historical, econ- omie¢ and cultural tasks. We grow ov the powerful basis of part siuctton in | socialist construction ef many mil- lions of toilers and formerly oppress- ed nationalists which are now build- ing their own socialist country.
