HAPEI—now Shanhaikwan! Japanese imperialism has let loose another murderous drive against the Chinese people, aimed at the further dis- membering of China. Shanhaikwan, gateway to the Jehol province, rich in iron and coal, has been reduced {o a mass of smouldering ruins by a combined naval, infantry, heavy and light artillery and bombing plane attack.

In spite of all this the police and military terror is being broken through by the determined anti-imperialist fights of the workers and peasants and ‘the students—with the ranks of the soldiers furnishing re- cruits to the revolutionary: standard ‘ACED with this situation and the m upsurge of the anti-imperial- ist struggle in China, which challenges all imperialist rule, and the forward sweep of the Soviet movement combined with the successes of the Chinese Red Army, the fury of Japanese imperialism knows no bounds. ‘The awful massacres of Chapei have been repeated in Shanhaikwan— with the heaviest fire concentrated upon the working class sections in an effort to burn out with fire and sword the resistance of the working class which, under the leadership of the Communist Party, is the driving force in the anti-imperialist fight of the Chinese people, The latest Japanese drive is undoubtedly the beginning of a movement that is designed to sweep over a vast t tory, with its immediate ob- Jective the seizure of Tientsin and probably Peiping. This further sharp- ens the imperialist antagonisms in the Pacific, which is already a hot- bed for breeding imperialist war. U. S. soldiers are stationed at a point ten miles from Shanhaikwan. The government at Washington has dis- patched a protest to Japan against ihis latest attack, following the general line of Stimson’s note of a year ago and reaffirming that United States imperialism will not recognize any territory gained by Japan through military operation. So tense is the situation that imperialist war may break forth at any moment. The past year has seen a heavier concentration of United States armed forces in the Far Ea The report of Charles Frances Adams, secretary of the nav of the great fleet concentration in Pacific waters and states specifi “The South China and Ya r patrols of the Asiatic fleet have been actively employed and have been supplemented throughout the year by destroyers. Other vessels of the Asiatic fleet have maintained “their training schedules in Chinese and Philippine waters. “Communism and banditry continued their alarming spread ver the central and south-eastern provinces of China. These ac- tivities were responsible for the repeated firings on United States men-of-war and merchant vessels along the Yangise river. The convoy system and of armed abroad American merchant vessels Was necessary.” Why are these United States armed forces in China? : For the pur- pose of the same sort of imperialist banditry that Japan is at this mo- t carrying on. “They are there to wage war against the Chinese people, to help the bandit lackey of Wall Street, Chang Kai-shek, in his at- tempts to crush the Chinese revolution, to carry out further the dis- mmemberment of China, to establish a war base against the U. S. S. R. and to form a nucleus for armed conflict with the imperialist rivals of ‘Wall Street. P Every one familiar with the infamous record of the ravages of U. S. imperialism, the wars of extermination and conquest waged against the peoples of colonial and semi-colonial countries (Haiti, Nicaragua, Cuba, Philippines, etc.,) knows that the talk of Stimson about refusal to recog- nize territory gained by conquest applies only to the rivals of U. S. im- Perialism and not to itself and hence is only the most cynical hypocrisy. United States imperialism takes issue with Japanese imperialism only because Wall Street wants to grab for itself the same territory that Japan is aiming at today. The words of Stimson are part of the paci- fist smoke-screen behind which U. S. imperialism concentrates its forces for what it regards as the imminence of the inevitable war against its * imperialist rival for control of the Pacific, which carries with it the right to ravage and exploit all of China. Ree sthe midst of all these sharpening imperialist antagonisms the im- perialist powers strive to solve their difficulties by increased provo- eations and counter-revolutionary war conspiracies against the Soviet Union. That explains the new barrage of lies that fill the columns of the _ reptile press in the United States. ‘These criminal war preparations, this drive toward a new world war must be relentlessly fought by the American workers, farmers, intellectu- als and all who hate imperialist war. This movement against war must te directed against Yankee imperialism, the most powerful and vicious imperialist power on, earth.

Its delay is due to the attempts by the goy- ernment authorities to do every- thing they can to prevent the cir- culation of the official paper of the Comintern circulating in this coun- try. (No. 6 and other numbers were completely barred and were reprinted in the U. S.) However, the lateness of its arrival will not interfere with its circulation in view of the invaluable contents. It continues the reports, resolu- tions and discussions of the Twelfth Plenum of the Executive Commit- tee of the Communist Interna- tional. The principal article deals with the economic struggles at the end of capitalist stabilization. “The revolutionary upsurge”, says the Communist International, “as the most important factor bringing about the end of the stabilization with particular clearness, during the recent period, in the powerful development of economic fights.” It is clearly brought out that the transition to a new round of wars and revolutions does not in any way minimize the necessity of eco- nomic struggles, but on the con- trary makes the development of all forms of this struggle a specially urgent task of the Communist Par- ties and the revolutionary trade union movement. Questions of the united front, of the unmasking of the maneuvers of social-fascism and the destruc- tion of its influence over the work- a masses are dealt with in de- ail. pimeyer ai feat informative contribu- tion by U. Lensky deals effect- ively with the situation in Ger- many and Poland as central points in the revolutionary front. An- other article deals with “The World Historical Importance of the Oc- tober Revolution.” Of great im- munists is the report by T. Gusev on “The End of Capitalist Stabili- zation and the Basic Tasks of the British and American Sections of the C. I.” It is a penetrating ana- lysis of the tasks of the Commu- nist Parties in the two biggest im- perialist countries, a criticism of mistakes and a guide to our Parties in overcoming these defects. Such errors, mostly arising out of the sectarianism of our Party can be overcome and must be over- come by thoroughgoing self-critic- ism that penetrates into every unit of our Party and evokes genuine political discussion of all our de- tects. It is only on the basis of such enlightenment, only by the organized study of the underlying causes for our inability thus far to respond to the favorable objective situation for the rapid growth of the revolutionary movement, that we will surmount our difficulties. Every Party member should study Comrade Gusev's article, which is a real contribution to the Ameri- can and British parties and to the Communist International. —H. M. W. Lettersfrom Our Readers AN OBSCENE WORD IN A FINE SHORT STORY ‘Brooklyn; N. Y. Editor of Daily Worker, Dear Comrade: I have followed with interest the short story, “What Was That Song?” by Fred R. Miller, which was printed in the Daily Worker. Its subject is built around & worker, his useless attempts to seek relief from capitalistic agencies and his final realization as to who real- ly is defending his rights. The story ends in a healthy positive note—“By the time I got out of that jail, it sure was my tune, and that’s no lie!” referring to the In- ternationale. I know it’s easier to criticize than to actually write a story, but I want to really give my opinion—to help in a constructive way. In his story he uses one or two vulgar words, It is harmless—at the most, but a writer should be careful not to pre- judice his reader. Workers usually do not see such words in print. Although propaganda must come down to earth and use the lan- guage of the people, it should have a certain proletarian dignity. Us- ing such words in the way Miller uses them makes the reader feel that the author is frivolous. It les- sens the force and dignity of the message by making workers think that anything which contains such words and expressions is just aim- less obscene stuff. Miller also killed the strength of his story by using childish humor like the “star-spangled banana,” and by drawing out passages show- ing how the worker is trying to scrape together a meal out of the remains of food. The whole story if made shorter and if the language were planned more effectively would make a strong piece of writing. All power to Fred Miller for doing a job that is very necessary! Short stories, such as were written by him if cir- culated among workers along with cartoons such as Quirt’s (“strips”) would be a powerful way to coun- teracting the idiotic “love stories” in the “News,” “Mirror,” etc. fe) P ely, revolution, theref AIP apy BT Soe ap The Social Insurance System in the Soviet Union CONCRETE BENEFITS FOR RUSSIAN WORKERS By B. SISKIND. CS FILIPOVA has been a worker for 36 years, a fighter through the civil war and the per- iod of reconstruction. She was one of the workers who built the Stalin (Amo) Auto Plant in Moscow, and is at present working in the same plant. She said that she is best qualified to judge which is best, capitalism or socialism, and she is right. Hear what she says: “Under the Czar my children could not go to school, but after the revolution, when my hus- band died, the Soviet government took my children, it clothed them, it fed them and schooled them. And now my children are edu- cated—this was all done by the Soviet government. If I fall sick, I get medical attention, cures all that I need. This is given me by the Soviet government.” How Sick Workers Are Treated. Comrade Fillatov, 24 years old, born in the village, is a typical representative of the new workers being drawn into industries by the thousands, This worker described what happened when he fell sick: “{ was sick for a little while. 1 was offered compensation, Sut refused to take it, because I was getting my full wages and also medical treatment free, and this is our government and our money. When I got well, I was offered two weeks’ vacation. I refused to take it and went to the village instead. When I was sent to the Institute, I got sick again for one and a half months. I received wages for four months and spent my time in the village. Some- times this amounted to more than. the wages, because this time 1 took compensation. Some of the older workers in our factory, who are getting pensions are working as teachers in the factory school and are receiving more than when they worked. In case of sick- ness or death in the family and I need some extra money, I can always draw from the Mutual Aid Fund to the amount of my wages. The first aid works fine, but I have not been hurt. My: family can use any hospital free.” oR ae ee 2 IN every country of the capital- ist world the workers are put- ting up a desperate struggle to force some sort of insurance out of the capitalists. In countries like Germany and England, where the workers through years of strug- gle and organization, have won some forms of unemployment in- surance from the state, the ruling class through many cunning tricks and laws cheat millions of any benefit. In Germany, for instance, out of about 6,000,000 unemployed, only three million get anything. One woman told us in Berlin that her insurance amounts to 36 marks per month (less than $9), out of which 26 marks goes for rent and 10 marks (about $2) remains. for the month's food. She said that if her husband or she would get work even for one hour, their names would be struck off the list entirely. The same condition exists under the MacDonald government in England. The first act’ of the national government, headed by MacDonald, was to cut benefits. In the U.S.A., the richest coun- try in the world, the working class is dependent upon cheap charity and whatever they can through struggle force out of the local au- thorities. Life and death struggles are being conducted, hunger marches, local demonstrations, etc., to force some relief out of the gov- ernment. ONLY U.S.8.R. HAS REAL INSURANCE. Only the workers of the Soviet Union have been able to establish a complete system of social in- surance, covering every field of the workers’ lives, operated and ex- panded by the workers themselves. The first concern of the workers’ state is how to safeguard the lives of the workers, to keep them healthy and fit for building a so- cialist society. Every. year of ‘the , sees a rise in tp ggeial ine ab | surance, and the kinds and types of insurance. Every factory now takes care of the development and distribution of such insurance funds, as well as hospitals, nurseries, etc. Previous- ly social insurance was distributed on a territorial basis. Before the introduction of the Five-Year Plan there was still unemployment and the government gave out unem- ployed insurance on a territorial basis. The Five-Year Plan did away with unemployment, in- creased the material and cultural level of the masses, and along with it developed a full system of so- cial and health insurance. eo 8 8 ER this system of insurance the Soviet worker is secure. He is protected against illness. His family is taken care of in case of death. He has vacations with pay. He has free sanitoriums to cure illness. The basic unit of social insurance is the plant. The trade union com- mittee assigns a worker from the factory to be responsible for the functioning of social insurance in the particular plant. Ail of the ac~ tual work is conducted on a social basis, that is, the workers in the factory are involved in carrying out the social insurance. One del~ egate is elected by each 100 work- ers. This delegate body is then divided into groups (brigades, they are called) with special functions to perform. The following groups are formed: PENSION BRIGADE. This brigade checks up on appli- cations, makes investigations and checks up on the conditions for thase entitled to old age pensions and for those who are disabled partially or completely. MEDICAL BRIGADE. This is the main brigade. It checks up on the medical aid the worker gets in the factory, in the local city where the worker lives and at the hospitals. This group establishes special commissions to keep tab on the workers’ health records in order to assign them to rest homes and sanitoriums for the summer vacations. They keep close check on money allotted for this work and how this money is spent. They also investigate the diets in the kitchens and the prep- aration of food. Check-up is con- ducted of the special diets for sick workers. Living conditions are in- vestigated to prevent congestion, improve sanitary conditions, etc. When a worker is ill and is taken to the hospital, one delegate is im- mediately allotted to be responsible to check up on how he is being taken care of and he has to report to the group the progress of the patient's health. agar aes | 'IDUCATION AND PROPAGANDA BRIGADE. This brigade ar- ranges for lectures on various sub- jects of a sanitary and preventa- tive nature. Hygiene corners are organized, where books and pamph- lets are available on the care of the body, on prevention of sick- ness and caution against accidents. ‘This group also conducts a column in the factory press, in which they publish the results of their work. ‘The slogans of this brigade are: “Not a single accident”, “Save workers’ health” and “Diet kit- chens are one of the links in the production plan.” CARE OF WOMEN. Special Insurance for Women. In the land where the workers rule the working women does not only benefit by the regular insurance allotted to all workers, but she gets special care and insurance, Pregnant women are given two months’ vacation with pay before and after childbirth. The insur- ance furid provides that when a child is born, the mother receives an order for a carriage, blankets, diapers, baby clothes, ete. This lay- out amounts to about $500 in the open market. Also, to the pay is added eight roubles a month for milk for a period of nine months. Medical care is given during the entire period of pregnancy. Spe- cial consultation points are opened, where women receive advice before shild-hirth and. . ' told us the following: child care after birth. Special Care:—During the win- ter of 1930 many workers were laid up with the grip. The social in- surance office made a special in- vestigation and measures were taken to check the number of grip cases. The insurance office is al- ways on the alert for any danger signals. Special movies were shown in the factory, illustrating how workers can prevent the grip, the need for sanitary conditions, hill. sick, ‘George courage in their hands, and ven- tured into the forbidden land of Row Hill. back door of the Chrenshaws, they over her brown cheek: her soul to hell,” Charlie uttered her first curse: associated in his mind with pound- ing fists, bloody mouths and quick- stroking razors.

De debil’s insurance fund in the following categories: If a worker has been in the factory for two years, he receives full wages. If he is a shock worker and has been in the factory one year, he also receives full wages. Those workers who have been in the factory one year or less or who are not members of the trade union, receive 50 per cent of their wages. . 4 LD AGE.—Filatov, an oki worker of the Stalin (Anjo) Auto Plant, “If I am sick, I get wages for four months, then I get a pen- sion. If a worker is totally dis- abled, he gets 100 per cent wages; if not, he is given some lighter work. Some workers who receive pensions also get wages for the work they do. The two together often amount to more than the original wages.” MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IN THE —Each department in | has its first aid sta- tion. of sickness, and first aid to severe acidents. Severe accidents are firs! rhessed there and then sent to the special hospital. All department are equipped with first aid kits, but the workers come to the sta- tions instead of using the kits. In case the accident is severe, a nurse is sent to the place where the acci- dent occurred to give aid on the spot. When it is necessary, this station is ready to take care of from 200 to 350 cases in 24 hours, this including ail minor injuries. In connection with medical aid and accident and sickness preven- tion, the factory has new plans for 1932-33. A new hospital is in the process of being built, which will be used by several factories to accomodate 1,000 workers. ~ (ACATIONS.—Vacations are so or- ganized that every worker has the opportunity to take a good rest or cure eyery two’ years. Those workers working steadily for two years or over have a vacation every year for one month. Here again the women workers are taken:spe- cial care of. “Last year I went on vacation,” one woman who has three children told us, “and my children were with me. ‘They were put into a special house and taken care of. I had nothing to do for them, had no trouble and they did not disturb my rest.” A total of 1,100 children were sent to the country for two months by the so- cial insurance fund. With such conditions it is no wonder that the Soviet masses par- ticipate so eagerly in the Five-Year Plan and are so ready to defend their government. Hear what one woman from the Stalin plant has to say: “Tell them, the workers of the test of the world, that we under- stand their struggles against cap- italism, Tell them we know that it is harder for us here because the rest of the workers did not make the revolution yet. This is our government. We workers have gotien together and fought for it, and if the bourgeoisie of the world try to take anything back from us, tell them also that even if I am 57 years old and my eyes are bad, I will be among the first to take up arms to defend the Soviet government.
