The full program, which is reported to call for nearly $100,000,000, is in- tended to give the United States the world’s most powerful air fleet.

NRA Failure Seen as Spur to Roosevelt in Bid to Soviets World Press CallsMove New Triumph for Soviet Union WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. — Faced with an intensifiication of the crisis | and the failure of the N. R. A., which is openly acknowledged in many | financial and administration circles, and is beginning to be reflected in |many Washington dispatches, the | Roosevelt government is eagerly looking forward to the increased trade which the expected recogni- tion of the Soviet government will bring. This is the chief aspect of the U. S.-Soviet negotiations which is being talked of here, Based on previous Soviet imports, an annual trade of | @ minimum of $100,000,000 is experted to result from the resumption of | diplomatic relations, whith everyone here believes will come very quickly now. It is also an open secret that the moment which Roosevelt chose to make his announcement—the day on which the national farm strike against the N. R. A. began — was carefully chosen to smother the news of the strike with the more excit- ing news of impending recognition. Soviet orders in America may well |go much higher than the figure of $100,000,000 yearly. The chief source of the necessary credits would be the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, or some other federal agency. One of the chief subjects of the coming conversations between Maxim Litvinov and Roosevelt will be the status of American claims of $300,- | 000,000 to $400,000,000, for Czarist and | Kerensky loans, and for American property confiscated by the Soviet workers.

Organizer Given} Penitentiary Sentence GALLUP, New Mexico, Oct. 22.— The second court martial against strike leaders and their supporters here resulted in the sentencing of George Kaplan, International Labor Defense district organizer to six months in the penitentiary. Recently Robert Roberts, National Miners Union leader, was given a similar sentence, Others are threatened with drum head trials and long sentences un- less an energetic nationwide protest is forthcoming. Six local strike leaders and Lynch, defense attorney, were arrested on the charge of “illegal assemblage” when investigating evictions of min- ers, They were released after two days imprisonment on bread and water diet for refusal to do. forced labor. Herbert Benjamin, national or- ganizer of the Unemployed Council who recently escaped from the mili- tary stockade was captured near Arizona state line. He is now threatened with a long Sentence from the military court. The Allison mine has settled with the strikers, granting nine of twelve dernands. General Wood, militia head, is en route to: Washington to obtain fed- eral funds to maintain the strike- breaking military, or to request fed- eral ‘troops. Defense attorneys are demanding the governor pardon Roberts and Kaplan. Hundreds of evittion are scheduled for this week, and tents are needed. After ten days virtual starvation and brutal mistreatment in the mili- tary stockade, Robert Roberts, coal strike leader was removed from Gal- lup en route to Santa Fe. He was sentenced to the penitentiary for 6 months by special court martial. Far from being terrorjzed at the severity of the sentences passed, the strikers have answered with stronger picket lines, and stronger determina- tion to win the strike. South West- ern is already working under full agreement of the demands presented by the strikers. Authentic production figures procured by various means prove that the companies are unable to produce more than 1-3 of the amount of coal produced previous to the strike. Funds for appeals, etc., are abso- lutely essential. The relief situa- tion becomes more tense daily. This is the 8th week of the strike. Local resources are exhausted. It is a matter of how long the miners can hold out which will decide whether they can achieve victory or defeat. Rush funds to the National Miners Union Relief Committee, Box 218, Gallup, New Mexico.

The Communist Party calls on all workers to arouse themselves to the threat to their lives and liberties, to the menace to their organizations, inherent in the increasing use of forcible suppression to crush their struggles, to divide their ranks, and in this way pull N.R.A. out of the crisis in which its program of hunger, robbery and imperialist war has been plunged by the upward trend of working class militancy and organization and the downward trend of capitalist production and markets. * MAND the unconditional pardon of Euel Lee!

At the same time Ritchie refused also to free Euel Lee, framed Negro worker, whose execution on murder charges he has set for Friday, Oc- tober 27. ‘The speeches of the delegates were marked by the militancy of the revo- . | lutionary leaders and by the belly- crawling of sented. “My father was born in the ex- ecutive mansion in Ri¢hmond duririg the administration of Flood,” the Rev. C. Y. Trigg, representing the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, told Ritchie. “His parents were servants there. I was reared there. When I heard that your Excellency was from Richmond I knew that every- thing .was all right. “What hurts me is that you have Police here to protect you.
