But there are such things as rises in production that, far from indicating a movement toward recovery, are only the prelude to greater disaster. This rise is un-}| mistakably of that character.

In prac- tice it means that everyone who can resources and savagely exploit the in- habitants of such countries. Only a dolt can imagine that capitalists will strive to satisfy the wants of the masses who live in a given country at the expense of their profits and at the expense of their world position as capitalists. All this taik of “economic planning” is put forth to try further to deceive the masses who are, in ever larger numbers, coming to realize that the one place on earth that has escaped the devastating effects of the world economic erisis, the one place where the standards of life are constantly rising is the country where there ex- ists a system of economic planning, the Soviet Union. It is necessary to understand that such planning can only be begun after the class whose very existence is based upon anarchy of production—the capitalist class— the proletarian revolution. What Roosevelt's Rooseyelt’s planning consists solely in working out in detail a whole sys- tem of planned attacks upon the toil- ing masses of this country. In his speech he was correct when he said: “The legislation which has been pass- has been deprived of state power by} The “citizens” who get profits are the handful of finance capitalists and their satellites—at the expense of the} |rest of the population. | All this planning to crush the toil-| ers and aid the capitalists is carried into the international field where the increased aggressiveness of Wall St. leads directly toward imperialist war.
