AMERICAN WOMEN IN USSR SAYs POWER IS SUPERIOR Workers in Soviet Unions Determined to De- fend Their Revolutionary Gains The following letter was written by an American woman who has been in the Soviet Union several months. She has toured extensive- ly throughout the U. S. S. R. visit- ing the factories, farms and work- ers’ homes. The enthusiasm expres- sed in this letter is typical of the enthusiasm expressed by thousands of workers who have visited the Soviét Union. The workers and peasants of the U. S. S. R. have sent an invitation to the American workers to send a delegation to visit them on May 1 this year. The friends of the Sev- iet Union, 799 Broadway, New York City is now holding meetings thru- out the country in unions and workers fraternal organizations to elect workers to the delegation. Workérs everywhere should assist picking the delegates and partici- pate in the mass elections and en- dorsements of the delegation. MOSCOW, U.5. S. R. Dear Friend:— I have another extension of my visa to May 22nd, and I am leaving for @ sanitorium March 15th, near Moscow for one month. After that, maybe I shall again go South. Yes, the imperialist war is rolling up. We hear the echo from China. ‘The march on the S. U. has already started, but the S. U. is ready and I am optimistic enough to believe that the workers of the world are also ready to defend the S. U. and out of Workers Blasts War Prosperity Legend GRENVILLE, S. D. Deg: Comrades: In 1917 @ few million of us Amer- ican youth, the cream of the nation, were shipped across the water like cattle im boats that were only fit for cattle to be shot at and fight a war for Wall Street. Now we ask for the pyament of @ur bonus which in reality is only \ our back pay and we don’t get it. Mr. Hoover and all the Wall Street bosses who were so strong for the war are against paying the soldiers’ bonus. The Wall Street gang got billions in bonus from our blood. Today nearly one million of us boys, most Rolph Lies About Starvation In Calif. (By a Worker Correspondent) SACRAMENTO, Cal. — Governor Rolph says that nobody is starving in the state of California. He admits that there are 500,000 out of work. He even lies here. There are in the state of California at the present time over 900,000 unemployed. City manager Dean of Sacramento is sending his police to the garbage, dumps to stop the unemployed from eating the garbage. He says that it might injure their health. ‘When the workers eat at the gar- bage dump the Salvation Army does not get anything out of it. But _ when they go to the Salvation Army to get their garbage the salvation fakers get 20 cents a meal from the city. Workers are getting sick and are dying from the rotten diet at the Salvation Army kitchen. They took one worker from the soup line to the hospital where he died. After he died the doctors examined his stomach and found that it contained half-cooked ynildewed beans. They stated that this food caused his death. WORKERS’ this defense will come the world rev- olution. Yesterday came fifty women for the International Women’s Day cele- bration, from various European coun- tries.

Now that I have been here ten months and I am soaked in with what is go- ing on here, I feel that I could just tear things assunder in my sleepy part of the world. I nash my teeth and yet I am convinced once we be- gin to move we shall speed so rapid- ly that one is just aquiver to see the beginning of that movement. Workers Power.

Left to right they are: Joseph Pawlowski, Max Jeftoyek, Edward Growy and Bronislaw Mironski. Hundreds of workers were in the demonstration. Bricks and stones were hurled throngh the windows of the display room, expressing the wrath of the Detroit masses against the murder of their class brothers by Ford in the March 7 Hunger March. ‘Times’ Makes Up for Dul | By Stupid Anti-Soviet Lies’) PUSH PLAN T0 In their efforts to prove that the “Soviet system is not so hot after all” the capitalist newspapers are going wild with lies. Yesterday was an off day in Rumanian, Fin- nish and Berlin stories of mas- sacres, revolts and baby-eating in Moscow, so the financial editor of the New York Times decided to pinch hit. In the column set aside to prove that business is getting better every day this “authority” points out that Russian imports from the United States in February de- creased by $79,500,000, or 90 per cent, from the preceding February. This, according to the Times, proves | “the evident breakdown of Rus- | sia’s impossible Five-Year Plan.” The same edition of the N. Y. Times, only four pages away, car- ries a cable from Berl which shows our authority to be rather a feeble, broken-down liar. This cable states that the Ger- man steel magnates have an- nounced a contract with “the Rus- sian Government for the delivery of 300,000 tons of rolling mills | *products.” Later on it is added that German concerns may get another 200,000-ton order from Russia soon. Yes, the Soviet Union is buying @ great deal less in the United States and not because of break- down but because of growth. The |Day American Fishes and other “red- menacers” refuse to give the Soviet Union terms that are as favorable as those gotten in’ Europe. They have put as many obstacles as pos- sible in the way of Soviet trade, so the trade goes elsewhere. And American workers lose the jobs which Soviet orders have been giv- ing and could continue to give. If the Five-Year Plan, which will be completed this year, and the second Five-Year Plan continue to “break down” the same way, the N. Y¥. Times’ financial authority will sure be in a bad way. Boy Sees Need of Comic Strip in “Daily” Brooklyn, N. Y. Daily Worker: I am a boy 11 years of age. I am a pupil in Public School 80 of Coney |dsland. By chance I got the Daily Worker. I have seen the paper twice. I think it is a very fine and interesting paper. I suggest, how- ever, that you have a comic strip, HH. Ae ee EDITORIAL NOTE:—We agree with the young comrade.

In that power lies the magic of all its won- ders. It is the magic of alchemy, if one may use such a gross illustra- tion, it converts the base into noble, the slow into fast, the crude into re- fined. Language is feeble to portray the extent of this power, its latent power, its nascent power! How mighty is human power!

This is the prosperity that the workers got out of the last war Tell that to the worker who says that war will bring prosperity. Let all us workers awaken to the fact that we are being hoodwinked into another war. Let us organize behind the Communist Party in its courageous struggle against this war. Let us demand that the soldiers’ bonus be paid in full and at once. We must also demand Unemploy- ment Insurance at the expense of the bosses, —L. K, ity Funds are exhausted. Two hun- dred families were turned away by the Land Commission without food. ‘150 Unemployed Live on Hartford Dumps (By a Workers Correspondent) HARTFORD, Conn—About 150 workers are living on a dump here which is located near the Colt Pa- tent Fire Arms Co., one of the coun- try’s largest war industries. Here, also, as in every other city, the bosses are cutting wages. March 1 the Arrow Electric cut the hours from 9 to 8 hours with an equal re- duction in pay.’ On April 1 they again reduced the hours to 7 and staggered the workers to 5 days a week. They also cut the wages 10 per cent. This is the third cut in the last ten months, ‘This, happened in the home state of Senator Bingham, who is trying to prove that there is no starvation in the United States of America, Have you sent in your Half-Dollar?

The famous Canton Nineteenth Route Army, which heroically de- fended Shanghai against the Japa- nesce invaders until betrayed by the Nanking Kuomintang govern- | ment, is reported battling Nanking | troops on the new Chinese lines outside of Shanghai. Spontaneous defense actions of Nanking rank and file soldiers against the Japanese are also re- ported as of frequent occurrence along the entire front. The robber aims of the imperialist attaek on China is openly admitted in @ Shanghai dispatch to the New York Tribune. The dispatch reports that American, British and French imperialists are supporting the Jap- anese proposal to rob China of its| principal city, Shanghai, together | with a large surrounding territory. | The dispatch says: ha. “While China and Japan are fruitlessly discussing peace terms here, substantial foreign business interests, represented by prominent American, Erttish and French na- tionals, are agitating seriously for | @ plan to create a free port of Shanghai under a charter from the Chinese government, The idea has been discussed for many years ,and the present agitation apparently is prompted by belief that there is a golden opportunity now to put it | finto effect because of China’s em- barrassment as a result of the Jap- | anese military occupation of greater | Shanghai.” ‘This represents a further develop- ment of the aims of the imperialist brigands for the looting and dis- memberment of China and the crush- ing of the Chinese Revolution. The | Plan was recently proposed by the | Japanese who made no secret of the | fact that it was directed toward | establishing a military base at Shang- hai against the national revolution- | ary fight and against the growing power of the Chinese Soviet districts in Central and South China. The Kuomintang betrayers of China are still maneuvering in the sham peace negotiations with the Japanese not yet daring to carry out the orders of the imperialists for complete surrender to the Japanese demands. The Kuomintang militariste at Hankow have clamped down a strict censorship of news from that city, where a few days ago it was reported that the Chinese Red Army had en- gaged a Kuomintang army in a ter- rific battle which at that time al- | ready had been going on for seven | days. and for the seizure of the So- | “oned the accused viet Far Eastern territory is admitted | |TOKYO DIPLOMAT \DEATH PENALTY FOR ANTI.
