SEPTEMBER 15, 1934 Follow Hazelton! HE workers of Hazelton, Pennsylvania, ave just set an example to the work- ers of the whole country For 24 hours the workers of all trades joined in a great sympathy strike with the textile workers. Led by the coal miners, veteran labor fighters, of workers, printers, bus ivers, milkmen, motion picture operators, paint- and jobless, as well, paraded through Hazelton in a mighty protest against the government terror- ism which has been unleashed against the textile thousands “We cannot see our brothers shot down and stay idle,” the coal miners said to themselves. And so they set to work at once rousing the entire working population, in the trade unions and in the factories and mines, to join in a general strike of protest solidarity with the textile workers. Today’s story from the Daily Worker corres- pondent shows the way the miners acted, and the way workers in every town and city should act. Murder and fascist terrorism face, not only the textile workers, but every trade union, every group of workers in the country. If the employers and the government do not meet any serious resistance from the American working class against the pres- ent terrorism, then this terrorism and brutality, this crushing of every elementary right, will menace every worker every time he dares to fight for bread, for better conditions. ympathy strikes, mass protest meetings, and general protest strikes tying up entire areas, show the employers and the officials once and 1 that the American working class will not ender its right to organize, strike and picket. It is no longer the fight of the textile wofkers alone. It is the fight of every worker in a trade union, every worker who is not ready to accept meckly the heel of fascist oppression. In every town where there is a textile mill, militant workers in the trade union locals, Commu- nists, and active rank and file strikers should make practical arrangements to form united front com- mittees of all unions to help the textile strike. Make the strike 100 per cent. Close every mill by mass picketing, mass marches. Disregard the strikebreaking orders of Gorman and Peel to stop the flying squadrons. But now, in addition, the practical organiza- tion of sympathy and general strikes is needed to help the textile strikers. Follow the example of the Hazelton workers. Let the slogan of sympathy and general strike be heard in every trade union That will decisively defeat the strikebreak- ing terrorism, local! See A Public Censure HE Communist Party organization of Providence, R. I., has furnished an ex- ample of such bad work in connection with Daily Worker circulation that it has re- ceived a well earned public censure in the form of Carl Reeve’s telegram from the Rhode Island strike front yesterday. Comrade Reeve, while warmly praising the hero- ism of the Saylesville strikers for their determined stand under rifle fire and gas attacks, sharply criti- cized our own comrades for failure to bring to these exemplary fighters the one paper, the Daily Worker, which alone fearlessly supports their fight. We do not ask impossible deeds of our Party units in any area. We do not demand that they lead every struggle. We do not expect them in every case to expose successfully the A. F. of L. bureau- crats and all the other workers’ enemies. Our forces in Providence are weak and politically im- mature. But the Communist Party does insist that our comrades in every instance TRY to bring the best fighters into the Party, TRY to expose the workers’ enemies and TRY to create a leadership from among the workers capable of winning the workers’ fights. Our criticism of the Providence comrades is precisely that they did not even TRY to carry out the easiest possible task in giving leadership to the militant Saylesville fighters, namely to see that the Daily Worker was placed in their hands. . . . HERE is still another deplorable fact: Providence ordered 300 extra copies of the Daily for the textile strike. Why did they order these papers if they had no ititéhtions of distributing them? This dndicates a two-faced, double-entry book-keeping that cannot be policy Party. We expect, in such a situation as the present, that Daily Worker orders be increased, and we in- sist that every paper sent out to any section be placed in the hands of the workers, particularly the textile strikers. Today Providence makes still a third error: They try to save their face by reducing the order to 100 copies daily—with 50,000 workers on strike in Rhode Island! This is their defeatist solution, rather than the correct course of rallying workers for the sale of the paper It is our opinion that the Boston District Com- mittee must seriously and immediately look into the Providence situation. There is something dras- tically wrong. Other Districts in the textile areas would d> well to go over their own District carefully, sec- tien by section, city by city, unit by unit, to ms’ sure that they are free from the possibilities c” similar scandal, tolerated in a Communist The Chelyuskin ané Morro Castle HE and the “Morro Castle,” two ship disasters, are lessons in Communist bravery and self-sacrific. and capitalist greed and slaughter. The American capitalist press, which smears its papers with the most vicious “Dp lies of “Red incendiary plots,” conveniently forgets the still fresh news of the heroic rescue of the crew and passengers of the Soviet icebreaker, the “Chelyuskin.” To save the Ward Line a few measly, blood- stained dollars, the responsible officers delayed the 3 OS calls for over two hours, long enough to burn or drown 137 human beings. When the Chelyuskin, bound for arctic explora- tion, sank in the arctic ice wastes, the Soviet Union mobilized the whole country for rescue work. Every facility of the country of Socialism was put at the service of the rescue of human lives. Such heroic feats as were accomplished received the acclaim of the entire world. Professor Schmidt, leader of the expedition, though himself severely ill, directed the rescue work. The entire radio system of the workers’ father- land buzzed with the message: “All hands, all facilities, to the rescue of our comrades”! Forty experienced polar aviators, four polar ships and one dirigible were put at the service of the rescue. Whatever was needed, regardless of cost, re- gardless of human effort, was made available for the rescue. Soviet aviators even came to the United States to facilitate the rescue. Out of 104 human lives, 103 were saved, the one dying from an accident when the ship crashed be- neath the ice. “Chelyuskin,” ° . . . ONTRAST the despicable officials, the murderers of the Ward Line, to the Soviet aviators, the heroes Lapidevsky, Levanov, Babushkin, Molokov, and the two American aviation mechanics who aided in the rescue! Yet the capitalist dirty, yellow rags, accuse the Communists of burning the Morro Castle. When the Fascist General Nobile crashed in his dirigible near the North Pole, the Soviet Union mobilized its best forces to rescue him—and rescued him! The red aviator Babushkin risked his life over the arctic wastes when the Fascist scientists were fighting with one another as to who shall be res- cued first! Yet the baying hounds of the boss press, which refuses to let the workers know that only in the land of Socialism sordid greed of shipping companies, stoop to the lowest degeneracy in trying to shield the real culprits | in the Morro Castle disaster, the Ward Line offi- cials, by the vile stories of “Red plots.” Discussion in the Units WO weeks ago, in a special statement, the Central Committee of the Com- munist Party set aside September as the month of the Party’s 15th anniversary. The Central Committee urged that dis- cussion on the Party’s history be planned in every unit in the Party, These discussions are a serious step in the fur- ther Bolsheyization of the Party. Therefore it is necessary for the comrades respon- sible for the agit-prop work in the Districts and Sections to see to it that all the necessary prepara- tions for these discussions are made. Outlines for the discussions have been mailed to all the Districts. Special reading material has been prepared, with suggestions and reading lists. Comrade Browder's article in The Communist has been outlined and mailed in special form to the Districts. Every advantage should be taken now by the comrades responsible to see that every unit in the Party carries through a well-planned discussion on the political lessons of the Party’s history. In the concentration districts, where the Party is working to root itself in the biggest factories, the best trained and most competent comrades should be assigned to Jead the discussions. The planning of these discussions, and the full utilization of the printed material which has been sent out to the Districts, are tasks that cannot be neglected. The statement of the Central Committee emphasizes their importance.

S. S. R., Sept. 13.—The peninsu! its nine months of winter; polar night in winter and perpetual da} light in summer, never raised any | food products, before the Bolsheviks came to start a great mining, cher jical and metallurgical industry here. Now there are In this town of Khibinogorsk, Kola Peninsula, over 9,000 people, and around it 25, ore, making in one smell i ome 65,000 people. They have to 2t, and since they are working on ne of the fronts where body heat nd physical energy are needed nore than in any other parts of he country, they need lots of meat nd fat, and a great deal of fresh reen vegetables to banish that old courge of the Arctics, scurvy. Food could have been shipped in, | out since it would be fresher and | better if raised locally, as well as | saving a long haul, Soviet scient |set to work systematically to see | what could be made to grow in the Khibinogorsk region, outsidé of grasses, moss, fir and beach irees and blueberries that were the sum total of vegetation already there. I went with the udarniks (shock | troopers), touring the North as a premium for their good work in Leningrad factories, to the botanical | gardens maintained by scientists in Khibinogorsk, It was one of the pleasantest “evenings” there. We strolled in |while it was still broad daylight, }about 11 o'clock at night. At this season of the year (August) the sun |sets for a couple of hours in the | North, and rises again in the North, | with a period of twilight for that length of time; twilight strong | enough, however, to read a news- |paper by. Three weeks earlier, the | sun never set at all, but just went | around the sky in a circle. The young manager of the farm explained to us that this continu- ous daylight does all sorts of queer things to plants. Some plants simply die—they have to have their sleep, and without it they cannot | exist. Wheat and rye grow splendidly, very high, strong and green, but don’t ripen. Cabbages we saw | growing luxuriantly, half a yard, | with long, green leaves something like banana leaves, and no heads. |Some varieties of potatoes grow like bushes, but produce no pota- toes, | Grow Cattle Feed | | In general, forage is easy to grow. | Leaves and stems grow better than |seeds and tubers. There is a big Sovkhoz at Apatite, the station some fifteen or more miles away where the Khibinogorsk branch | railroad joins the main line to Len- |ingrad. This Sovkhoz (state farm) \has proved that it is possible to | raise plenty of cattle in the Kola aes It is likely that there will some |day be a big reindeer industry here. |These animals do not need to be | housed as carefully in the winter aS COWS. But the scientists ‘were deter- | mined to grow green food that the | human could eat. They found that under glass frames, tomatoes and cucumbers do very well. Then by | diligent testing in the experimental nursery of all sorts of plants from all sorts of places, they discovered | varieties that could stand the cli- |mate out of doors. They found |types of beets, turnips, potatoes, | barley and kolrabbi that grow quite well. From the high Altai moun- |tains they got an onion that flour- |ishes in this weather, | Expect to Raise Total Food Supply | | The Kola Peninsula is going to | experience an agricultural develop- ment soon, the ambition of those in charge being to raise locally all the |food needed for the almost ex- plosively expanding population and | big industry of the towns. All this | |new agriculture will be socialist | farming, right from the beginning, | jeither state or collective farms. | | There never was any private prop- jerty in land here, nor any kulak | farm owners to overcome, nor any | | age-old inherited theories and cus- |toms of small peasant economy to | patiently argue away. Here the. | only struggle socialism will have on | the land is the struggle with the | forces of Nature, and these forces | jare already beaten, in theory at! least. | The determination of the Soviet workers, their state and Communist Party leaders to develop agricul- | ture here is the reason for this re- versal of Nature for the benefit of mankind. But much credit belongs to those who were the instrument | of this determination; five scien- tifie workers and eleven laborers, who have been in charge of the botanical garden and agricultural experimental station at Khibino- gorsk since 1930, | As you climb the steep hills, | which all the udarniks did for sport, | you will find anywhere within ten | miles of the park little fenced off | plots of ground in the most out of | the way places, on a slanting hill- | side, in a little dell half full of snow | water near the top of a mountain, | on the bank of some lake that it- self is located precariously high in | ® pass or canyon, These little plois | contain meteorological instruments | for recording the weather changes, | and a few plants carefully set out | to see what they will do in . | particular soil and location. The importance of the work of Polar botanists, as these scientific experts rather proudly call them- selves, is shown by the rapidly in- | creasing means put at their disposal | by the state. In 1931-32 the budget of the Khibinogorsk agricultural ex- perimental station was 5,000 rubles. Last year it was 18,000 rubles, this | year 35,000, and will probably be | larger in years to come =~ ‘ i class people, SWAT! The Most Burning Question--- Unity of Action By BELA KUN By Burcl Member of the Presidium of the Communist International . (Sixth Instaliment) 'HE Soviet Union pursues the same proletarian Policy in the domain of its foreign political rela- tions: it takes advantage of the contradictions be- tween the capitalist states in its foreign policy. It does this in the interests both of the toilers of the Soviet Union and of the whole world proletariat. It does this, for example, when, after the exit from the League of Nations of the two most bellicose im- perialist states, Japan and Germany, it contem- plates entering the League of Nations tiself. But the Soviet Union does not therefore pursue a “League of Nations” policy, any more than revo- lutionary workers, when they conclude a collective agreement, are pursuing a policy of class collabora- tion. The Soviet Union, when it enters the League of Nations, will pursue a Soviet policy, just as revo- lutionary workers, in an enterprise where they are working on the basis of a collective agreement, pursues a policy of class struggle. DEFENSE OF SOCIALIST CONSTRUCTION However, the Social-Democratic worker may ask further: Very well! But why do the Communists de- | mand that we should be against agreeing to the war budget when the Communist Party in the Soviet Union—as the German Social-Democrats in Czecho- Slovakia say in their answer—‘gives its consent to the expenditure of billions for armaments pur- poses?” Why should not our members of Parlia- ment do the same? No, we answer. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union does not give its consent to the spend- ing of billions for armaments purposes, it decides upon this expenditure for the defense of its so- cialist constuction, which is continually threatened, in accordance with the foreign political situation, now by this group of imperialist states, now by that. It decides upon this expenditure by order of the proletariat, for the defense of the proletariat against those armies, the money for whose arming is voted by the Social-Democratic members of Parliament. SOCIALIST PARTY AIDS ARMS EXPENDITURES On the other hand a Social-Democratic Party— even in the most democratic capitalist states—gives its consent when it agrees to the armaments ex- penditure which has been decided upon by the bankers, factory owners and big agrarians. The difference, therefore, is obvious, just as crystal clear as the perpetual and indivisible com- munity of interests, independent of all foreign po- litical circumstances, between the Soviet prole- tariat and the working class in capitalist countries and their unity in action against the bourgeoisie of all countries. Anyone who foolishly talks about the united front policy of the Communist Parties being depen- dent upon the “changing foreign political situation of the Soviet Union” should bear in mind two historical facts: CITES MISTAKE IN HUNGARY (1) In 1919 we Hungarian Communists made the great historical mistake that we united our Party with the whole Social-Democratic Party and thus made our policy dependent upon the reformists. The foreign political situation of the Soviet Union was at that time the most difficult imaginable. It was fighting against military intervention, against internal counter-revolution supported by eighteen states. Nevertheless, this foreign political situation did not prevent» the leaders of the Soviet Union from wafing the Communists in Hungary of the dangers involved in this incorrect policy of the United States. (2) Again, when it became clear that the Anglo-Russian Committee, the joint committee of the English and Soviet trade unions, in consequence of the treachery of the “Left” English trade union leaders, was not serving the interests of the English and of the international proletariat, but was injur- ing these interests, the leading Communist Party of the Soviet Union did not hesitate an instant in recommending the dissolution of this committee, which had for a.certain time been necessary in the interests of the proletariat. Let the Social-Democratic workers decide for themselves whether the Communist Parties, which have meade the united front, the struggle for the unity of action of the working class, a part of their program, are pursuing a policy based on principle or one which can be described as a policy of oppor- tunism. iy (To Be Continued) (Continued from Page 1) colored throughout by a cynical lack of concern for the suffering of the masses. He begins to go over more and more openly onto the road of fas- cist suppression and terror, onto the road of Hitler, Against this the entire working class must be united. Communists, Socialists, A. F. of L. work- ers, unorganized workers, workers in the unemployed and workers’ fraternal organizations must unite in starting a tremendous, nation-wide protest move- ment, The terror of the police and the troops can be stopped by a united and determined working class. United action and speedy action is the greatest need at the moment. The Communist Party urges all other workers’ organizations to join in-arousing the workers, mil- lions strong, against the rising wave of reaction in the textile strike. ‘The Communist Party urges its own members and units and all militant, class-conscious workers to take the initiative, without a moment’s delay, in their factory, trade union, and neighborhood. Arouse all workers for the defense of the rights of the tex- tile strikers, Hold protest meetings and demonstra- tions. Prepare local general strike actions by visit- ing and winning the unions, particularly those of the A. F, of L, . . . AS for the arrests, a legal defense apparatus on the broadest united front basis should be ini- tiated in every locality by the comrades of the International Labor Defense. American Federation of! Labor locals and Socialist Party branches, par- ticularly, should be drawn into the defense of those arrested, Defense and bail funds should be solicited on the widest scale, securing funds also from middle a ‘ Arouse Masses Against the Murder of Strikers +An Editeriz? Above all the militant workers, especially Com- munists, should not permit the growing terror and the threats of arrest to separate them from the mass of militant workers. The workers should not permit their leaders to be exposed to the police or arrested, Precautions should be taken to avoid arrest and to protect other comrades. Names and addresses should not be carried in the pocket or left around Party, union or other headquarters. Care should be taken to avoid, and also expose, provocateurs, ‘The most important point is this: The safest place for a Communist or for any militant worker at a moment of terror and arrests is in the very midst of the marses, guiding them and leading them in their struggles against the terror and for im- proved conditions, Our comrades must remain among the fighting workers, as their best organizers, as their most fearless leaders, That is the method of Bolsheviks! . . . ((OMRADES, workers, the fight is becoming sharper. The forces of reaction are becoming bolder. The workers, the entire working class must an- swer by a broader rallying of the masses. Sym- pathetic strike action is now on the order of the day. A general strike must be prepared. In the first place, the comrades of Rhode Island and the striking textile workers must arouse the workers of their own areas. The local unions of Providence, Saylesville, Fall River, Newport, and other surrounding towns should immediately place the question of sympathetic strikes to back up the heroic Saylesville fighters, Everywhere the slogans should be: Spread the textile strike! Forward to widespread sympathetic strikes, and local general strikes! _ Win the masses for national strike action! | | i| On the World Front i Mi HARRY | Nazi Dove of Peace Impressions of Germany Cyprus Slave Trade HE bulk of the foreign am- | bassadorial Mountain have GANNES——— By |ing failed to come to Moham- |med Hitler at the Nuremberg Fascist Congress Hitler came to Berlin to visit them. vitations were sent out to all foreign embassies offering them posts of honor at the Nuremberg gathering of Nazi butchers. { The only ones who showed up, (quite significantly were — the Japanese | and Polish ambassadors. | Japanese imperialism has atwar | pact with the Nazi hangmen Kor | war against the Soviet Union, sl | not long ago the Daily Worker pul | lished the cable news that Polan had entered into a similar agrec-| ment with Germany., That accounts for their presence at the Nazi gathering, and it also sheds light on Hitler's speech to the diplomatia corps in Berlin on his return from | Nuremberg. os In- Fo nw, IF ever there was a better example of words concealing thoughts and plans than the folowing uttered by Hitler to the diplomatic crops on Tuesday, we have never seen them: “Today again I repeat in your presence that it will be the un- swering aim of my policies to make Germany a firm and fast refuge of peace. “Not might and force determine the relations between nations but the spirit of equality and respect of the work and accomplishment | of each natien.” | > | WHAT'S the same Hitler speaking 1 who just a short while ago or- | dered the slaughter of his fellow | butcher Dollfuss to precipitate a j| war for the seizure of Austria. | It's the same fiend who has | slaughtered 6,000 anti-fascists, as | well as 370 of his own duped follow- | ers. | "This angel“of peace is the same | one who has made an alliance with | Japanese imporialism (as stated | repeatedly in the Japanese press and |mever denied by Hitler) that if the | Japanese armies ike at the Soviet | Union in the East, the Fascist | hordes will move through the Baltic | from the West.
