Roosevelt wants to know the exact character of every factory, where 4¢ gets its materials, whether it will not be necessary to establish domestic sources of supply for those fac- tories which are indispensable im times of war, etc., etc, All this preparation for war is concealed behind the usual Rooseveltian hypocrisy of “social planning.” Planning indeed! But “planning” for war, for the establishment of a military terrorism in the factories, and intensified wage slavery and hunger for the entire toiling population, while the best sons of the working- Class are hurled into the shambles of imperialist Slaughter.

From 1926 to 1927 Commander Galin helped to organize the revolutionary armies of China, prepara- tory to a drive against the Chinese land-capitalist- compradore militarists, in order to unify China. At that time, there was a mass revolutionary upsurge in China. When the armies reached Shanghai, Chiang Kai ‘Shek, fearing the Communist Party leadership, and the carrying through of the real agrarian anti- imperialist revolution began his slaughter of Commu- nists. Por six years now Chiang Kai Shek has been “slaughtering Chimese revolutionary workers and peas- ants. _ History knows of no more fiendish police than the hounds Chiang Kai Shek has dogging revolutionists China. It is to help these murderers, these torturers and ‘ekeeutors of tens of thousands of the flower of the ‘Chinese masses that the Socialist ex-police chief ski goes to Shanghai. “He will help Chiang Kai Shek arrest, jail, torture @iid execute trade union leaders.

It is eminently fitting too, that the Socialist “New ir war on the Chinese Leader” should seek to hide this loathsome deed of | & fellow-Socialist leader—the same “New Leader” that furthers Roosevelt's N.R.A. and its fascist attacks on the American workers. The 7 Cent Fare Ker subtly suggestive are the phrases regarding the New York subway fare which are beginning to appear with carefully calculated frequency in the capitalist press! First it was LaGuardia’s own plarase, “an adequate fare,” that gave warning of the approaching 7-cent fare. Yesterday LaGuardia heki a 46-minute conference with the representatives of the Morgan-Rockefeller Wall Street banks. And the Herald Tribume reports the conference as follows: “While nothing was said yesterday concerning the 5-cent fare, the impression was gmined that the de- sire to preserve this shibboleth . . . will not be per- mitted to stand in the way of unification... . There is mo reason to believe that the subway security hoklers are less insistent wpon a self-sustaining fare . unless the administration was willing to raise the fare . . . negotiations, H is said, would prove fratile. A A “self-sustaining fare”! An “adequate fare”! Does any one have to be instructed as to what that means? Is it not as clear as day that the LaGuardia admin- istration, behind its talk of “unification,” and “budget balancing,” is driving straight ahead to giving the bankers what they. want to protect their investments— a T-cent fare? The subways are making bigger profits than ever. They are rotten with all kinds of plundering, of fat leases, renting agreements, bond payments, etc., etc. The subways are controlled by two groups, the Chase National Bank crowd dominated by the Rocke- fellers, and the J. P. Morgan banks. Yesterday, at the conference with LaGuardia were Charles Hayden, multi-millionaire Wall Street stock gambler, representing the Rockefeller Chase National Bank, and Arthur M. Anderson, of the house of J. P. Morgan. It is to keep his pledges to these capitalist exploit- ers and plunderers that LaGuardia is going to wring millions of dollars in higher fare through chiselling the pennies of the vast majority of the city’s toiling population who trayel the subways to and fro from their wage slave jobs, The Communist Party in New York has alone presented a program of opposition to the LaGuardia subway fare swindle. It has issued a call for or- ganized struggle against raising the fare. It demands @ unification of the city’s subways by wiping out the fraudulent and extortionate claims of the Wall Street security holders. It demands that the subways and “el” lines be run for the city's workers and not for the bankers. ‘The 7-cent fare will mean hardship and skimping, it will mean that every working-class family, where Several use the subways, will be forced to rive up hundreds of dollars a year to the Wall Street stock- holders. It will mean in every working-class home that there will be less for food. Against the 7-cent fare robbery! Important for Miners 4 BELIEVE now the most important question con- cerning the miners is the coming international convention of the U. M. W. A..” writes a member of the U. M. W. A. in Princeton, Indlana, to the Daily Worker. “In view of the dissatisfaction existing in the ranks of the miners,” he adds, “it is surely possible to or- ganize the rank and file to have a really good op- position delegation on Jan. 28rd, in Indianapolis at the U. M. W. A. Convention.” This feeling of dissatisfaction among the miners is widespread in every field, and in no place cer- tainly as much as in Western and Central Pennsyl- vania. But still from there, though the convention is less than four weeks off, we have received no news what- ever from the respdhsible Communist leaders active in these fields, Every miner knows decisive questions will be taken up at this convention. The whole long fight which the miners carried on around and against the coal codes and wage agreements will come up. ® . . | Meas bit of news we do get shows great symptoms of discontent among the miners and a desire for struggle, as the letter which we quote here shows. In the Danville, Ilinois, sub-district all 12 delegates | elected were chosen on a program of struggle against Lewis’s strike-breaking. The convention will be forced to deal with the | check-off, the right to strike, the Preparation for new strikes, the wage scale in the face or rising prices, and a thousand-and-one other questions that the miners want answered. The central question facing all miners is the N. R. A. codes and agreements around which the strikes developed last year, These strikes were shamelessly betrayed by John L. Lewis, particularly in the cap- tive mine fields, where the miners were bound over to the big coal operators. To fight against this whole slave apparatus, the miners must organize to defeat the agents of the N. R. A. the coal operators, and the National (strike- breaking) Labor Board within the U. M. W. A. The Daily Worker has printed a series of resolu- tions covering many of these questions for introduc- tion into local unions and presentation at the in- ternational convention. we would like to hear about the discussions on these resolutions in the local meetings that are called to elect delegates to the international convention. These experiences are of the greatest importance for the development and building up of the rank and file opposition in the U. M. W. A. to the Lewis strike- breaking machine. From all available information, the conclusion is ‘mescapable that the work of electing opposition dele- gates, of developing the struggle against the Lewis treacherous leadership, is going all too slowly, It is not only a question of preparing for the con- vention—though this is of the highest immediate importance. It is mainly a question of organizing the miners for the struggles which are bound to come soon as conditions inevitably become worse under the slave N. R. A. codes and the no-strike agreements, a the fight against the Lewis strike-breaking oui . - Join the Communist Party 35 EAST 12TH STREET, NEW YORK, N. Y.

By Burck NEW YORK.—The 10th Anniver- sary of the death of Lenin will be commemorated at meetings of work- ers throughout the country. The New York District of the Com- munist Party issued an appeal yes- terday to all mass organizations, trade Students Vote To Fight Against War To Aid Strikes Against Making, Shipping Munitions “We will not support the govern- ment of the United States in any war it may conduct,” the pledge taken by the Columbia and New York Univer- sity Anti-War Conferences, was unanimously passed by 216 delegates representing campus clubs and class- room groups at the Brooklyn College Anti-War Conference that took place Friday and Saturday, Jan. 5 and 6. To make this resolution more em- phatic, the conference adopted a@ motion from the floor that the conference’ ~~go on record as supporting any strike of workers against the manufacture or shipment of munitions. Among other important resolutions were those demanding the repeal of the Platt amendment and the re- moval of American battleships from Cuba, the transfer of all war funds for unemployment insurance and for educational purposes, abolition of the R. O. T. C., and affiliation with the Youth Section of the American Com- mittee Against War and Fascism. A motion made by a National Stu- dent League member, to send a tele- gram to the German Embassy de- manding the release and safe conduct out of Germany for George Dimi- troff, Ernst Torgler, Blagoi Popoff and Vassil Taneff, was passed. The delegates also voted to hold an anti-war demonstration on April 6, the anniversary of the United States entry into the World War, This same resolution was passed by the anti-war conferences at Colum- bia and N. ¥. U. and will become the day of student protest against im- perialist war. Brooklyn College is the third school in New York City to call such a con- ference. It marks another step in the development of a real united front of students against imperialist war that was begun at the American Congress Against War and Fascism, at which students played a very im- Brooklyn College!

Canton Rushing Treops Against Chinese Red Army Nanking Claims Gains Against 19th Route Army In Fukien SHANGHAI, Jan, 17.—With the Canton warlords preparing to enter the Generals’ Civil War in China, the N: ing regime yesterday made un- confirmed claims of “sweeping vic- t s” against the 19th Route Army of the se jon.ct regime in Fukien Province. The belief persists locally that these claims are aimed at deter- ting the Canton werlorés from throwing their support to the Fukien secessionists, The Nanking official communique claiins capture of Yenping and Kui- tien in Fukien province from the rebels. Hongkong dispatches, on the other hand, deny that these cities had fallen, but report fierce fighting in that region. No news was avail- Friends of FSU Mobilizes for Defense of Soviet Union NEW YORK.—The First National Convention of the Friends of the Soviet Union will be held in New York January 26, 27 and 28 at New Star Casino, 107th St. and Park Ave. The aims of the Friends of the Soviet. Union, whose national offices are at 799 Broadway, are to spread accurate information about the U. 8, S. R., to answer the lies and slan- ders of the Soviet Union’s enemies and to mobilize the American masses for the defense of the first worker's and farmers’ republic. For Broad United Front On the basis of this program, the FS.U. unites within it, workers, farmers, intellectuals, professionals, and small business people, whose po- ’ litical opinions and affiliations are most divergent, but who are united in their sympathy to the Soviet Union. By means of mass meetings, demonstrations, lectures, pamphlets, leaflets, film showings, exhibitions, and its official organ, “Soviet Rus- sia Today,” the F.S.U. has brought to the American masses the truth about the Soviet Union. One of the most effective means for carrying out these aims, is the sponsoring of the sending of workers’ delegations, consisting of workers from the basic industries to the Soviet Union for the May Ist and November 7th celebrations, These delegates, who are elected by the workers of the, enterprises in which tney are employed after a campaign for that purpose, on their return re- port to their fellow workers on what they saw and found in the U. S. S. R. The F.S.U. conducted several cam- paigns since its inception. Its first campaign was for the reception of the Soviet fliers in the fall of 1929. It was a tremendous success. Its most important campaign in 1933 was for recognition ‘of the Soviet Gov- ernment. It made a special appeal to the trade unions and secured hun- dreds of resolutions favoring recogni- tion, thus demonstrating that Green and Woll and other bureaucrats of the A. F. of L, did not represent the sentiments of the workers in respect to the Soviet Union. There can be no question that these hundreds of resolutions from trade unions were taken into account by Roosevelt when able today from the western sector of the Fukien front where the Chin- ese Red Army has been advancing against the Nanking forces during the past week. The Canton regime is reported mobilizing all available military strength for service in Fukien prov- inces and to strengthen their lines in northern Kwangtung province against the Chinese Red Army of the Central Soviet District. Two Canton squadrons of fighting planes are re- ported engaged against the Red Army, while infantry reinforcements are being rushed to the front, indi- cating that an important battle is in progress. The Canton regime is re- ported negotiating for the purchase of sixty additional planes. United States and Japanese naval forces in Fukien seaports were aug- mented yesterday in preparation for direct armed intervention against the anti-imperialist masses who, over the heads of the Fukien regime, are es- tablishing close contacts with the nearby Chinese Soviet Republic. Japanese bombing planes were ac- tive in North China, bombing towns and villages in East Chahar province, Inner Mongolia, where Japanese troops are now strongly entrenched. In Ningshia and Chingshia prov- inces, Ni China, the Mohamme- can warlords in control of those prov- inces, have united to resist a Nan- king army of 50,000 men, headed by Gen.

It now has the additional task of counteracting the vicious efforts of the enemies of the Soviet Union to disturb and eventually to break the diplomatic United Farmers League — Endorses Convention of Soviet Union Hail Achievements Of USS... B. NEW YORK.—The United Farmers League, with a membership among the farmers in all of the northern | states from coast to coast, has en-~ dorsed the national convention of the Friends of the Soviet Union, to be held in New York on January | 26th, 27th and 28th, and elected two ;members of the national executive committee, as delegates to this con- gress: A letter sent by Alfred Hiala, na- tional secretary of the United Farm- ers League, to the acting national secretary of the Friends of the So- viet Union, Herbert Goldfrank, states | in part; “The United Farmers League heartily. endorses the convention called by your organization for Jan- uary 26th through the 28th. “The development of collective farming in the Soviet Union is of extreme interest to the farmers of America and our farmers are eager to learn more abont the develop- ment of the collective farms and eager to learn about the conditions existing among the Soviet collect- ive farmers, “Throughout the land among our farmers a feeling of sympathy to- ward Soviet Russia is growing.

Both the British and Italian gov- ernments are anxious to establish a new balance of power on the con- tinent to undermine the present military domination of France and its vassal states. A rearmed Ger- many would help to offset the French military power, and at the same time strengthen the hands of the Nagis for their projected invasion of the Soviet Ukraine. In recent negotia- tions with the French Government, Hitler declared his readiness to abide by the Versailles frontiers on the west, if given a free hand in the East. This Nazi proposal was supported by relations, just established between the Soviet Union and the United States. For this purpose, all organizations, friendly to the Soviet Union are asked to send delegates to the National Convention, as the first step in mak- ing the F.S.U. a broad mass organi- zation, France-German Aims in Saar Clash SAARBRUECKEN, Germany, Jan. 7—The Nazi Front in the Saar Val- ley sent a memortal today to the League of Nations, complaining that the French mine administration is exerting pressure on German miners to send their children to French schools, Drifting Mines in Baltic VISBY, Sweden, Jan. 7.— Fifteen years after the World War, difting mines are still imperilling shipping in the Baltic, Sea, Soviet Facto 56 Apartment Houses At Cheliabinsk Tractor Plant Editorial Note—In the first in- stalment of this special correspond- ence published in Saturday’s issue, Vern Smith described the reaction of an American worker to the gi- gantic Cheliabinsk tratcor plant and its unsurpassed equipment, 2 oa ® By VERN SMITH The grounds are spacious, and are being “greened” in summer, that is flowers and trees will be planted. A big tribune and band stand, modern- istic in design, rises in the very cen- ter of the grounds, among the shops on the edge of a big square, There is @ good moving picture house, two bathhouses with showers, and several clubhouses, All these means of living for the workers were established even while they were, one might say, not even operating the factory. The first units described above, forming a section which can produce tractors but by no manner of speaking more than a small part of what the plant will put out when completed, started work June 1, of this year, It is expected to put out only 2,000 tractors by the end of the year, whereas it is expected to bring forth 12,000 next year. After that, the plant will be completed to the point of producing 40,000 a year. So what they are obviously doting this first half year is to teach the use of compli- cated machines to several thousand Peasants. Thousand Ton Steam Presses And the machines are the most modern. The delegations going through saw thousand ton steam presses for pushing red hot steel into the shape of a crank shaft. Such a press works as one unit in a battery of an oil oven to heat the steel bar, the press itself, and a stamping ma- chine to trim excrescences. Such units prevail throughout the plant, and there is straight line production, all material for the various parts mov- ing from process to process with a minimum of shifting around and fin- ally arriving at the assembly room, to emerge from its conveyor as a finished 60 horsepower, nine and a Ralf ten, caterpillar tractor. But the chief admiration of the two American metal workers was for the tool and die shop. That die, into which the steam press shoved metal for a crank shaft was made right here in the shops of the tractor fac- tory. Austin saw two finished dies lying ready to be used when those now in use wore out. “How long did it take to make them?” he demanded, “Both were made in a week's time,” was the answer. “T just put in two months with a milling machine making one die smaller and simpler than these in America,” he said. Few Such Machines in the World They showed him the machine with which it is done in Cheliabinsk. It is an ingenious device, by which one | man operates a keyboard and various wheels, and makes a pointer follow a pattern. As the pointer follows any pattern desired, cutting tools grind | out a die exactly like the pattern. In} the whole world there are only a few such machines, There are not many in use in America, though the ma- chine was made at the Keller Mfg. Plant in Brooklyn. American manu- facturers are not installing much new machinery these days. Swiss Jig Boring machines are also very scarce—but the Cheliabinsk plant has one. They bore holes with almost absolute accuracy in. blocks of metal. The English speaking delegation saw all this. It walked the length ot the biggest of the Cheliabinsk tractor factory buildings, the assembly plant, which is about 560 yards long, and 160 yards wide. Eighty Per Cent Belong to Party Then it went back to the office, where Kommissarov, Smagin of the bureau of the Party Committee and others answered all questions and provided more statistics. For example: eighty per cent of the workers are members of the Communist Pariy. There are 5,000 members of the Young Communist League. But the pezcentage of union members is low as compared with other Soviet fac- tories wheré it ranges above 90. Here it is only 70 per cent. The reason is largeiy the newness from the village of most ef the working force, Window Space is 70 Per Cent ‘The delegation asked such ques- ry Provides Not Only Work, But Life Soviet Workers Get Complete Cultural Advantages the British from the start, but the French imperialists, while favorable to the anti-Soviet project, were dis- trustful of the Nazi designs in rele~ tion to France.

It found there is a special centralized heating plant for dwelling houses, and centralized sewage dispesal, that in addition to first aid stations in every department, there is a hospital on the plant grounds, It found that there had been only two fatal accidents since construction started on the plant in 1930, The factory kitchens provide 100,- 000 dishes of cooked food a day; that tte plant has several state farms sup- plying it, one a dairy farm, with 700 cows, another for pigs, rabbits and small stock, and one of 32,000 acres for vegetables, Seven-Year Children’s School ‘The delegates heard that special seven-year schools had been built for children of the tractor plant workers, that thera was a study combinate at- tached, which includes a university and tractor building technical schoois. They found 1,000 studying at the factory school, with 300 taking courses at the apprenticeship school and do- ing several hours factory work as ttons as: “What percentage of wall part of their technical training every surface in the plant is windows?” daw “The forms of the dominance ot the.
