In connec- tion with a Congressional Apportion- ment Bill, Sackett argued that aliens! | Berlin. should not be included in the census He proposed an amendment stipulat- ing that foreign-born men, women and children were not entitled to rep- resentation. He tried to execute a Hitler stunt even before the world had heard of Hitler. On May 26, 1929, he said in the United States Senate that “it was un- American and not in keeping with the ideas of the founders of this country to consider aliens in arriv- ing at representation in a branch of government.” About eight years ago, this same Sackett did his utmost to glorify the name of Mussolini, another of Europe’s famous oppressors of the working class. This is what Sackett said of Mussolini on June 1, 1925 ‘Mussolini is the most striking fig- ure in the world today And he ad- ded: “In fact, he is admired and ap- preciated everywhere—except in New York.’ Before entering the United State: Senate, Sackett was a public utility magnate. He was a president of light and power companies in Ken- , tucky and also the head of coal and cement companies. After coming to the Senate, he became, among other things, a booster of Herbert Hoover. When starving farmers sent count- Jess appeals to Washington for relief, without result, Sackett made speeches on the floor of the Senate about “Hoover being a great friend of the farmer”. To use his own words, | Sackett told the farmers that Hoover “would save them from destruction.” For these efforts, Sackett was re- warded with the ambassadorship to On March 15, 1930, he told the bankers and industrialists of | Germany that the Wall Street in- terests were ready t3 co-operate with them.

Tt was to an American embassy, headed by this man, to which Hull sent an order for an ostensibly “truthful report” as to whether Jews were being persecuted in Germany. The White House was flooded with demands and appeals to call upon Hitler to end the atrocities in the Reich. Instead of doing this, Roose- velt. moved swiftly to assure harmony between the two governments for the benefit of the American capitalists who have more than 1400 million dol- lars invested in Germany.

ROOSEVELT AGENTS SEE BRITISH LEADERS ON DEBTS AND ARMS Would Speed Up World Economic Conference to Meet Imperialist War Drive LONDON, March 31.—Roosevelt’s special agent | in Europe, Norman H.

It is generally recognized that the so-called world economic conference can accomplish nothing its sponsors declare it wants to accomplish.

(Daily Worker Correspondent) On the initiative of one of the newcomers, a group of foreign cor- respondents of workers’ papers ar- ranged an interview with the vice- president of the Moscow Soviet, Com- rade Khvesin, on the municipal af- fairs of Moscow. The interview was scheduled for 11 p.m. It lasted until two o'clock in the morning. The rush of business made it impossible for Comrade Khvesin to find # more suitable hour for us. Seated in two rows at a long tabie, the correspondents fired questions at the vice-president of the Moscow soviet. The questions were many and varied, and Comrade Khvesin made a notation of each of them. The quer- fes ran something like this: “How does the rule of the workers | express itself in practice in the ad- ministration of Moscow?” “Ts it true that the water of Mos- cow is polluted?” “will Moscow ever catch up with itself in the matter of dwellings?” “What about the traffic accidents in the city?” “Is it true that Moscow will be completely rebuilt in the next five years?” “How does the city stand in the matter of schools and kindergartens?” “How are the new markets work- ing?” The interview was informal, and were largely impromptu. As the cor- respondents devoured Comrade Khve- sin’s answers, they also found time to swallow several rounds of sandwiches and tea. A Decisive Answer. To begin with, Comrade Khvesin called for a glass of tap water and drank it avidly. Having satisfied his thirst and the curiosity of one of the questioners in one gulp, he pro- Moscow’s municipal affairs. Without a concrete knowledge of the geography and landscape of Moscow, the reader will hardly be in- general observations will suffice. The first circumstance that im- pressed me was the fact that Mos- cow had no real estate problem. In New York or any capitalist city, mu- nicipal projects are blocked some- times for years by private property rights. Many a politician or real- estate robber has made a fortune by a legal hold up of the city govern- ment. (Remember the Libby Hotel affair in New York.) No Greed in the Way. | Moscow has no real estate problem, no contradiction between the needs of the masses and the greed of the land- lords. There is only one landlord in Old Moscow was built to suit the needs of its merchants and noble- men. New Moscow must be made to suit the needs of its workers. The problem is not a simple one. To some it is so stupendous that they would like to see the old city entirely abandoned and a new capital built along the lines of socialist cities which sprang up in the dozens in the course of the last few years. But | this extremist view is scoffed at by | the practical Bolsheviks of Moscow. Factories Needed. Nor is there much support to be found for the plan of solving the | housing shortage of Moscow by the “simple” process of moving the larg- est factories elsewhere, thus cut- ting the working population of Mos- cow and running the housing prob- lem out of town. Moscow needs its factories as much as it needs its proletarian population. The problem is to provide com- fortable dwellings for the toilers of the Red Capital. As yet the prob- lem has been only partially solved. Congestion is still great in Moscow, and despite the thousands of new houses built in the last few years, the average “dwelling area” per person of the working population is still no greater than about 55 square feet (say, a room six by nine feet) And when one takes into consider- ation the fact that tens of thousands of workers’ families occupy newly built spacious apartments, the dwelling area” for the remainder both the questions and the answers | ceeded to unravel the intricacies of |! terested in the details of the pro- gram of city planning, and a few |, Moscow: the city’s toiling population. | 7 Moscow Has No Real Estate Problem of the workers is even below this average. At that, ready compares favorably with such industrial cities as Warsaw, where the average dwelling area per person | of the working population is only 47 | Square feet. Also the quality of the | old dwellings is generally far below the standards set by the proletarian government for its best citizens, the workers. ‘There is a good deal of | building needed before Moscow will catch up with its housing require- ments. To Limit Factories. But Moscow will catch up, no ques- tion of that. Further mechanical increase of the population will be eliminated by a recent decision not | to build any mew factories within the jcity limits, and for the rest, the out of the housing shortage. In the past year alone seven hun- dred new houses have been built and 317 have been rebuilt so as to make them up to the standard. A quarter of a million building workers were engaged in Moscow in the course of Jast year, and about 50,000 of them were making new homes for work- ers,—comfortable homes at low rents (seldom reaching 10 percent of the workers’ earnings), homes that are safe from the landlord, safe from evictions, safe from the mortgage- fiend. | New Homes by the Thousands. | It will take a few years before ali of Moscow’s workers have comfort- able homes. For the present the crowding is still very great, and thousands of workers still live (tem- porarily, remember) in barracks. | These barracks (a heritage of the \How Work Started on Subway in Moscow Construction of Moscow’s new subway is now well under way, and it is expected to be ready next year. past) are being rapidly “liquidated”, and new homes are taking their place by the thousands. There is also a problem of accom- modating the transient population of Moscow. Tourists come in ever larger numbers from all parts of the world; there is an unceasing stream of delegates to the various conven- tions, congresses, and conferences that are a feature of Moscow’s life; thou- sands of people come here from the provinces on business. More Hotels. Moscow, known-even before the revolution as “the heart of Russia”, is, indeed, the heart of the Workers’ and Peasants Republic, and the visit- ors in no small measure, add to the housing problem. The program of housing development calls for the construction of a few additional large hotels. Comrade Khvesin showed us @ model of one of them, already in the process of construction. It is a tre- mendous structure and a thing of beauty, fitting into the Greek archi- | tectural scheme of the neighborhood the Moscow average al-| | Moscow Soviet will simply build itself | where the Grand Opera House and the House of Trade Unions are lo- cated. Speaking of ~ architecture, - there « seems to be no particular enthusiasm here for the ultra modernistic de- signs that were in vogue at the be- ginning of the revolution. “We are) still learning”, Comrade Khvesin | said, “we have built badly in many cases, from the standpoint of archi- tectural form. In this respect the buildings of 1932-33 differ radically | from those erected in previous years. There is no more infatuation vith | flat surfaces and straight lines”. At that, there are some splendid | specimens of architectural modernism in Moscow. The government house, for instance. Its “flat spaces” on the outside and its spacious halls of bold | modernistic design are thrilling in| their very challenge to conservative | architectural forms. Welfare the Main Thing. Yet neither the number of _ new. houses nor the architectural remodel- ing of entire neighborhoods is the main thing in the building program of the Moscow Soviet. The starting point and the goal is the welfare of the toiling popula-. tion. If the winding riverside of Moscow is to be remodeled, if its landscape is to be re-made, it will not be merely because of architectural considerations. | The banks of the Moscow River are to become the finest residential section of the city for its finest resi- dents—the workers. The czarist capitalists built hideous factories and warehouses on the banks of the Mos- cow River, polluting its waters and poisoning the air around. Some of these factories have already been moved to other sections. New homes, schools, playgrounds and nurseries will be built on the river front, the architectural design of its section being based on the predominating features of the landscape. Also the suburbs of Moscow are being re-made with the same and in view—to provide an ideal residential environment for the workers, includ- ing parks and playgrounds, schools and theatres, market places and sta- diums,, ‘You will not find another city out- side of U.S.S.R. where a quarter of @ million of workers’ . children are cared for in city nurseries and kin- dergartens. You will not find thru- out history another instance of such rapid development and improvement that Moscow can proudly boast of, and surely no other city can ever match Moscow in its program of further development and improve- ment. Who has done. all this? Who runs Moscow, anyhow? Here we come to the question asked by one of the cor- respondents: “How does the rule of the workers express itself in practice in the administration of Moscow?” Comrade Khvesin’s answer to this question was very illuminating, and we, shall discuss it in a succeeding article.
