Every day the news of constantly intensified Nazi terror comes in. While the Fascists are preparin the murder oi Thaelmann, Torgler, Dimitroff, Taneff, Popoff and hundreds of other Communist leaders, other Communists are tortured and murdered, tens of thousands of workers are imprisoned, leaving their families destitute; tens of thousands of Jews and others are thrown out of employment and forbidden to make a living; thousands reach the frontiers, fleeing from the terror. The need of immense funds, and o fgreat mass protests against the Nazi terror and for the defense of its victims, is immensely urgent. An inténsive drive to raise and to organize protests against Ger- man Fascism begins in New York today, and will continue until Aug. 7 In other parts of the country, Anti- Fascist week is from August 7 to 14.

Officials Sabotage Appeal of P. I. Reds. MANILA, P. I., July 30.—No appeal to the United States Supreme Court can be made in the case of 20 Philip- pine Communist leaders serving eight- year sentences here because the soli. citor-general delayed making a cer- tified English translation of the rec- Ord of the trial until the legal period for making an appeal had expired. The 20 leaders were among 319 Persons arrested on May 31, 1931, for attending a convention of the left- wing trade union movement. No other cHarge was brought against | them. They were convicted under a Sedition act which is so broad that it ean be used to railroad any worker who organizes.

In “Wage-Labor and Capital” it is clearly stated that the average price of a commodity is its cost of pro- duction, which seems to imply that capital'sts as a class make no prof- it, Since reading “Teachings of Karl Marx” by Lenin I see Lenin modifies this statement by adding to the cost of production the aver- age profit (page 25) it seems more reasonable, | a ANSWER: In “Wage-Labor and} Capital” (1849), x's first work on | political economy, Frederic Engels | ts out there are some sections that | “contain expressions and whole sen- tences which, from the point of view of the lates work, (‘Critique of Po- litical Ecor my’ 1859) seem distorted and even iueorrect.” You point out| one of these which Marx fully cover- ed in Capital, the first volume of| which was printed in 1867. In me III Marx uses the expres-| n “price of production,” as distin- ished from “cost of production.” | ice of production means the total to produce an article plus the} average rate of profit. In dealing} with capitalist production as a whole, Marx points out that whereas in some industries a greater amount of sur-| plus value is produced than in others, through competition the profit rate has a tendency to level out. In- stead of the capitalist in each ins dustry receiving the surplus value or profit produced in that particular in- dustry, there is formed an average rate of profit which means that the total gurplus value produced by the entire working class is spread over| the total capital. The price of pro-| duction is the amount the capitalist | spends for machinery, raw materials| and labor power, plus the average | rate of profit that his capital draws} from the total surplus value produced | by the workers in a given capitalist | society, | In practice, of course, the average | profit is modified by monopoly cap- | italism which through domination in| a single branch of production has a| tendency to get more than the aver-| age (that is a greater amount of the surplus value) at the expense of the monopoly industry Marx in his writings on political economy pointed out that the source of all profit in whatever form it is| realized (profit of enterprise, interest, | rent) is the exploitation of the whole | toiling population by the capitalist | Those Arrested BUDAPEST, July 30.—Six men, in- cluding Ludwig Perley, a member of the Budapest Municipal Council and leader of a group of reactionary vet- were arrested on charges of to assassinate Premire Julius Gomboes of Hungary on his return yesterday from Rome, eran: class. This exploitation is achieved in production through the purchase by the bosses of labor power, the ue of which is the only means of livelihood for the worker. The use value of labor to the capitalist is the | producti of - commodities, whose value is in excess of the wages paid. This surplus goods, or surplus value, is the source of all profit. The capi- talist may pay the worker the value of his labor power (though this is not always done) and on this basis, thru making the worker work beyond the time necessary to reproduce goods equal to the value of his labor power, realize surplus value or profit. The question asked deals with the dis- tribution of the total surplus value created by the working class as a whole to the capitalist class as a whole, instead of the capitalist in an individual plant reVizing the surplus value squeezed out of his workers.

In the face of all this pro- vocation, says the “Bolshevik,” the Soviet Union maintains a firm policy of peace. Continuing, the editorial ° states: “The struggle for peace, the struggle against the intervention danger, is not merely the struggle against the attacks upon the Soviet Union, land of Socialism, but is at the same time the struggle for the victory of the working class over fascism, for the victory of Social- ism in capitalist countries. The proletariat of the U.S.S.R. knows that every year of peace strength- ens its position, for the proletarian dictatorship has shown itself cap- | able ef developing the productive forces to an extent unknown in provious history.. On the other hand, the fascists know that every month, every year of peace increas- es their difficulties, for they are in- capable of carrying out their promises. Fascism is incapable of overcoming the crisis, and is, there- fore, merely the capitalist way of | organizing its economy for war, as the war danger grows greater daily, Preparation for this war is the real aim of fascism, and therefore tho struggle of the U.S.S.R. for peace is a struggle against fas- | cism.” Record Harvest In most sections of the U.S.S.R, in full swing. The crops in the principal grain sections | like the Ukraine, North Caucasus, the Lower and Middle Volga regions, |are excellent, surpassing the best | yields of the past twenty years. | The enormous harvest and the | ripening of the various grain crops, is taxing to the utmost all available labor and equipment. The harvest- ing work, however, is proceeding in- comparably better than last year due to better organization of the Col- lective Farms (the Kolkhozes). The bright feature of this year’s harvest | is the punctual deliveries of grain to the government of the U. 8. S. R. The July quotas have been met near- ly everywhere, and the grain collec- tions are likely to be carried out in record time. Out of their July threshing some of the collective |farms have succeeded in meeting | their entire annual quotas of State delivery. In one instance, tha Crimean col- lective met all grain obligations, | stored seeds, and divided the net | grain income amounting to 17 kilo- | grams per work day among the mem- | bers of the collectives. | Yet it must be pointed out that | the bulk of the crops are still une harvested and tbat threshing pro | ceeds slowly.
