Nor will they fail to toast their faithful lackeys. Messers Green, Lewis, Hillman—and Norman ‘Thoma VERLOOKING the fact that the country has just gone through one of the bitterest and sharpest strike waves in its history, with the dead strikers in Ambridge, Philadelphia, Southern Illinois, Fayette County, Pa., as unforgettable martyrs of the deepening Glass war, Roosevelt in his Christmas message has the gall to declare: “Even more greatly my happiness springs from the déep conviction that this year marks a greater national understanding of the significance in our modern lives 6£ the teachings of him whose birth we celebrate.” The “greater national understanding” of growing ascist attacks on the working class brings “happiness” to Wall Street’s president.

They have always extolled the umbs of charity that fall from the master’s table Nor are the daily sermons of Messers Green, Lewis ®& Co., about the “partnership of capital, labor and the government,” much different from this despicable Sermon of the very Roosevelt who promised the work- ers unemplo; nt insurance and gives them greater Starvation at a higher price. Yes, there no doubt that in these critical days of capitalism, the whole priesthood of the property owners, the ruling clique, the betraying A. F. of L. labor lieutenants pray with might and main for class peace, for non-resistance of the workers to the growing attacks of the capitalists. But. the American workers have already shown their mettle. The past huge strike wave is only the beginning. The militancy of the American workers is growing. They are not meekly submitting to the mew yokes of slavery and fascism devised by Roosevelt With his oily, priestly phrases. The new year that is dawning promises to be one of growing struggles, of increasing strength of the American proletariat and with the firm and correct leadership of the Communist Party, the revolutionary forces will grow, making it impossible for the whole hierarchy of capitalist dictatorship to achieve its goal and wich—the perpetuation of capitalist slavery at the expense of the great masses of toilers. »» All the lying demagogy of Roosevelt and his coterie will not feed the starving millions, nor will it stop ‘the advance of the working class striving for the ‘fevolutionary way out of the crisis through the victory of the proletarian dictatorship. _ The President’s Pardon SHOW has magnanimity President Roosevelt is- sued a Christmas-day “amnesty” declaration re- storing “citizenship rights” to 1,500 persons who were “Yeonvicted during the last world war, provided they had served their long terms in capitalist prisons for writ- “tng, speaking, or in other ways opposed the last im- perialist world slaughter.

He reports kidze called some of the quarters a “pigst And the Socialist “Forward,” unable any longer to ignore the enormous victory of Socialist construction at Magnitogorsk, cunningly, how is it that the workers at Magnitogorsk exceeded their quota by 103 per cent. How is if that so enormous a structure could have been built under such “miserable condi- im of the ing conditions workers at the that Ordzhoni- tions”? And it gives the following answer, an answer | that will rouse hatred and contempt in the heart of every class conscious worker who reads it: “The answer is that the workers in Magnitogorsk are not gods, but slaves (emphasized by the “For- ward”), slaves as in Egypt, as in all slave countries where they gtind the lest ounce of energy out of the workers.” INLY a few weeks ago, the Forward was mouthing every rotten slander about “famine” in the Ukraine, repeating every lie that was coming out of the Vati- can, Popes and Bishops, out of the publicity machines of the Hitler government. The Forward was weeping bitter tears for the “victims of the Russian famines.” And the partial, alleged quotation from the leading Bolshevik paper is its latest discovery! It discovers that the Soviet Government is not satisfied with the living conditions of the steel workers at Magnitogorsk! Aside from the factors and circumstances in- volved, of the difficulties and problems of the Soviet workers in building proper working conditions, let every worker ask the “Forward” where in the world will you find a Government that criticizes its execu- tives for not giving the workers the best possible living conditions! ‘The editors of the Forward charge that the workers in the Soviet Union have been able to accomplish huge economic victories such as Magnitogorsk only because they “are driven like slaves,” They try to blind their readers to the fact that it is because the Soviet workers are building Social- ism, which is daily improving their conditions, that they have destroyed capitalism, their capitalist ex- ploiters, and are now toiling for their own class, for themselves and their families, that they are accom- plishing wonders of heroism. i ie ast |AS the “Socialist” Forward ever heard of the Roose- velt government denouncing the United States Steel Trust for not giving the workers at Gary, at Ambridge, at Pittsburgh, the best possible living con- | ditions? But the editor of the “Socialist* rorward, Abraham Cahan, finds Roosevelt, the tool of Wall Street so admirable that he has already invited him to join the Socialist Party! For the Socialist construction at Magnitogorsk, | where the workers are building for, themselves, and not for any capitalist exploiters, a monument of in- dustrial achievement, the “Socialist” Forward has only poisonous hatred! But for Roosevelt, for the N.R.A. program, for the Roosevelt Government that has shot down the steel workers on the picket tines in Ambridge, the Forward already has the highest praise, calling it “something Socialistic.” Here, in the N.R.A. they see Socialism! In the Soviet Union, where the workers and farmers rule, they see “Slavery!” Notice where they get their information—from the Bolshevik press. It is known to the wohle world that the Soviet press is the most frank, the most critical in the world on the developments of the country. But this is because it is a workers’ country, be- cause the Government is the expression of the work- ers and farmers will, because this most merciless criticism is one of the weapons by which the country builds an ever higher and better life for the masses, “Slaves,” snarls the “Socialist” Forward about the udarniki shock brigaders, the immortal worker-heroes whose prodigious labors, whose wonderful achieve- ments of endurance and construction give us the first glimpses of that new Socialist man who jis grow- ing up out of the Socialist advances of {ie U. S. S. R. ° ° ° on another part of this page the “Daily Worker” correspondent tells of his meeting with these “slaves.” “Songs are sung all over Russia about the hero- ism and endurance of the Udarniks, who put through this Magnitogorsk dam as a single piece of shock brigade work, rushing so as not to delay the mill below it,” he writes. Of course, it is true that there are housing prob- lems, living condition problems, food problems, etc. But these are the inevitable problems of enormus growth, of marvelous advance! ‘ Two years ago, there was practically a scorching desert at Magnitogorsk. Now, there looms the most enormous, the greatest steel furnaces in the world! A new city has bloomed on the Ure! desert! And the “Forward” whines because they have not got the State Cossacks of Pennsylvania, the State 'Troop- ets of Illinois there! Overnight, with record-breaking speed, a new city of 200,000 inhabitants, has sprung up where there was nothing but a desert! And the “Forward” gloats that the Bolsheviks are not afraid to make public their difficulties! The “Forward” gloats that the Soviet Government is not satisfied with the living conditions, and sharply calls for an immediate im- provement for the steel workers! Under the leadership of the Communist Party, the Party of Marxism-Leninism, the Party led by the leaders of the world proletariat, Stalin, the masses of the Soviet Union are going forward, over every obstacle along the path of Socialism, And the “Socialist” Forward spits pofson, the very same poison that drips from the pcison pens of the White Guards, from the counter-reyolutionary in- terventionists. This “slave” talk is nothing but the preliminary moral publicity for the coming imperia‘ist interven- tion, If there is “slavery” In the Soviet Union, why not destroy it? Such is the poison propaganda of the “Socialist” Forward. But the workers of America, oppressed by the in- tensified exploitation of the Forward’s “Socialistic” N. R. A. codes, facing starvation and wage cuts, where unemployment grows daily, where the yoke of capital- ist wage slavery weighs heavier every day, the work- ers look toward the Soviet Union, where wage slavery has been destroyed, as an example of the true road. And it is to keep the American workers from tak- ing this Soviet road, that the Forward echoes with such fidelity the intervention poison of the capitalist press DISTRICTS SHOW IMMENSE GROWTH Over One Hundred | Million Living Under | the Red Flag BULLETIN | LONDON, Dee. 25.—A Hongkong dispatch to the “Exchange Teie- staph,” said that 26 persons were | killed when eight Nanking planes | bombed the Fukien city of Foochow | this. afternoon. | The dispatch adds that “not since the Old Peiping Government rested on the bayonets of Marshal | Wu Pei-fu has there been so much | unrest in China.” SHANGHAI, Dec. 25.—The recent | victories of tua Chinese Red Army jagainst the Nanking Kuomintang | | troops in Fukien province are accom- |panied by a tremendous anti-imper- | urge of the masses in the] | Kuomintang territories. 1 ed by the heroic Chinese -s and stipported by this anti-Kuomintang, anri-imper- | upsurge, the Soviet districts |have greatly extended their territor- |ies since the Fifth Kuomintang cru- |Sade -which was decisively repulsed. |The total population of the districts | under Soviet control is now estimated as over 100 million.

They built a dam over the Ural River and created a lake covering eight square miles to pro- vide the Magnitogorsk steel mills with water. Steel mills are as thirsty for water as all the camels in the world; water cools the conveyors, it circulates in water jackets around the frames of the furnaces, it gushes out around the ends of rollers—it is vital, in large quantities, for operation. Also, a city of 250,000 inhabitants, which Magnitogorsk has now, needs & water supply. They built the dam with 125,000 cubic yards of concrete, over three- fifths of a mile long, before they did a thing in the way of building the mill, They built it as a rush job, in 105 days, in the heart of winter, west. There is also a Soviet district in Kwangtung province, which ail the efforts of Gen. Tchen Tchi-tang, supported’ by British ‘imperialism, Rave failed to destroy. The Soviet movement is developing even in the comparatively backward areas of Shansi province. In Manchuria, the Red Army, known there is ‘the Revolutionary People’s Army, is continuing its guer- illa tactics with telling effect against the Japanese invaders. The centers of its operations are in Pansi in the province of Kirin, and Tanyuan in Heilungkiang province. Revolutionary peasant insurrections and guerilla fighting against the Kuo- mintang are also developing in vari- ous other provinces at present under Kuomintang control. The chief of these are: Kiang-Yin and Nantung in Kiangsi province, and Tchietchu in Shantung province. —By Burek “Mayor-Elect LaGuardia appoints Paul Blanshard, recentiy a leader of the Socialist Party of New York, to his official ‘Cabinet’ as Commissioner of Accounts.”—News item.

While we are on the subject of dams, we might mention that this one, though it provides enough water for the present equipment of the mill, will not be sufficient for the mill when fully completed, and they are building another dam to provide ten times as much water in the neighborhood, and_ still another, smaller one, besides.

At my table we had a udarnik for a translator. And this udarnik was none other than Zilich, Jugo-Slav worker who helped lead the mine strike of 1931 in western Pennsyl- vania, who got his nose: broken by a Pennsylvania cossack’s club in a demonstration at Washington, Pa., Court House in 1930, and who was arrested for deportation for taking part in the busting of the embargo on free speech and assemblage in the steel town of McKeesport, Pa., last year. He’s here instead of in one of King Alexander's dungeons, or some romantic South Slav grave- yard, or, as he well might have been, instead of languishing in Blawnox Penitentiary near Pittsburgh. _ We first saw Zilich dressed in his working clothes, rushing up to our meeting from a meeting of the So- ciety of Inventors, of which he is @ member, a meeting that didn’t give him time to go home and change. “How did you become a Udarnik History of World-Wide Communist Press to Appear in 24 Page “Daily” In @ special feature article which will appear in the 24-page, tenth — anniversary edition of the Daily Worker,’of Jan. 6th, Robert Hamilton Communist Press in countries out- His article tells about the major Communist publications in France, in Germany before Hitler’s orgy of suppression, the history of “Pravda” Soviet Bolshevik paper.
