The workers and farmers, and all op- pressed people, the professional and white collar workers, wili on this day dcclare their readiness to de- fend the land of socialism, the Soviet Union, the country that stands as the mightest defender of world peace, as the chief obstacle to the imperialist plans for a new world slaughter. “The danger to the Soviet Union grows with the continued world crisis of capitalism. The imperial- ist powers are never for one mo- ment reconciled to the continued victories of socialism in the Soviet Union, that become the greatest inspiration to the toiling and op- pressed masses the world over. The Ganger of imperialist war against the Soviet Union grows more acute with the sharpening of the class war everywhere, with the growing united struggles of the masses (Continued on Page 5) Dye Strikers Hiss Deteatist Proposition (Special to the Daily Worker) PATERSON, N. J., Noy. 5:—That the striking dyers are wide awake to any attempts that may be made to snatch victory out of their hands was dramatically illustrated at to- day’s strike meeting, when Sol Stet- tin, a member of the settlement committee, was hooted down when he tried to tell the workers that they have no chance to win their demand for a dollar an hour and @ 30-hour week. Stettin, a supporter of the Love- stoneite, Rubenstein (now applicant for the Socialist Party), stated :“I’ll be frank with you. We know we cannot get the 30-hour week and $1 an hcur. Let’s not be fooled .. .” But this was as far as he could get. Loud boos came from the mass of workers: “Get off there!” “Are you telling the bosses what to do?” “Throw him out of the window!” “Take him off the Settlement Com- mittee,” were some of the remarks that came from all parts of the hall. So great was the indignation of the workers that Stettin had to give up his attempt to advise the workers why they should retreat when their lines are more solid than ever, and chance for victory the greatest.

To all toilers of all oppressed nations! Comrades and class brothers! Seventeen years have passed since the Russian proletariat, guided by the Communist (Bolshevik) Party under the leadership of Lenin, overthrew the rule of capital, the bourgeoisie, and the landlords, and placed power in its own hands. The Socialist October Revolution, which unlocked a new era in the development of humanity, succeeded through the armed uprising of the Russian workers with the support of millions of peasants. Through many heroic years of struggle they had been preparing against the ruling classes under the guidance of the Bolsheviks, This preparation was in the winning over a majority of the working class through the irreconcilable struggle against the compromising reformist parties of the Menshivks and the Social-Revolutionaries, and in decisive battles against oppressive hunger and imperialist war, in battles for the estab- lishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat for Sociclism, WORKING CLASS DEMOCRACY The power of the working class in league with the peasantry, the Power of the Soviets—the councils of workers, peasants and Red Army soldiers—was a harsh dictatorship against the profiteering classes. Along with Soyiet power there developed. the broadest working class demceracy among the masses. This power of the organized masses was thé force behind the fight against the furiows resistance of the exploiters, against imperialist intervention. ‘This was the thing which assured the proletariat of victory during the civil war. This was the strength which accomplished the industrialization of the land of the Soviets. This spread collectiyizaiion t6 the smallest hamlet, With the leadership of the Communist Party the dictatorship of the pro- letariat made certain the success of the First Five-Year Plan. Now the Party is leading toward the victory of the Second Five-Year Plan, which is laying the foundations of Socialist economy through the liquidation of classes. The Soviet Union, the land of victorious proletarian revolution and proletarian dictatership, presents the whole world with a clear picture of what the working class in a technicaliy and culturally backward country may bring about when it takes power in its own hands. . CONTRAST TO CAPITALISM In capitalist countries the rule of the bourgecisie carries with it heavy economic crisis and greater ruin than the four years of the last imperialist war. Even the most advanced capitalist countries have been thrown backward many years. The slight increase in production in the last two years has in no way bettered the conditions of the toilers; inescapable unemployment reigns everywhere, millions of peasants and farmers are still being ruined, millions are entering on manhood without bread, without hope, with no better prospects than to roam the streets. The need and misery of the toilers deepens ever more intensely. With the guidance of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union the dictatorship of the proletariat has founded the basis for the steady increase of the well-being and culture of the toiling masses. It has transformed the Soviet Union into a land where unemployment does not and cannot exist, where the wages of workers and employes climb in an unbroken line, where an all-embracing system of social insurance has been created where for every worker the next day brings certainty, where labor itself has been set on a pedestal of honor. The Socialist reorganization of agriculture has put an end to barren flat land and has assured the entire collectivized peasantry an increased standard of living and culture. Soviet power has freed previously oppressed national minorities and united them in close fraternal bonds, The workers ad collectivized peasants of the Soviet Union offer (Continued on Page 2) Directions - How to Vote ENTER BOOTH PULL LARGE LEVER AT TOP TO RIGHT.

There are thousands of worke: sympathizers, who will vote today if they are approach personally, and persuaded of the importance of voting under the sign of the hammer and sickle. House to house canvassing today will give the Communist Party thousands of votes, which otherwise will be wasted because of var.ous kinds of hesitations, doubts, and misleading theories, such as “it is no use,” or “they won't be elected,” and similar ideas. Personal canvass- ing today can salvage thousands of such votes for the Communist Party. Every preparation should be made to guard the Commun’st votes which will be the special target for all kinds of fraud and stealing. The instructions for watchers should be carefully read. Communist watch- ers should co-operate with Socialist watchers wherever possible. Ports should be sent in to the Daily Worker relating all results, e at the polls, attempts to steal votes, violence, fraud, etc. But above all, the work of after the elections are over, the main task of winning the working cl: for the Party and its program, In our campaign, we have met thousands of new workers. These contacts must be developed through personal contact, the method o: lined in the recent open letter sent by the Central Committee to all | Party members. ’ After the elections the capitalist parties, having once again gone through the‘r time-honored trickery and deceit, will disappear from the Daily life of the masses. | But the Communist Party, the party of the working class and the | masses, must redouble its efforts, its contacts with the massss, its lead- ership of the aily strugzles of the masses for bread, for relief, and | against the whole yole of the capitalist system.
