Developing Foreign Trade.
DASED upon our economic revival,
II foreign trade is gaining greater
Importance every year Upon the de
velopment of foreign trade depends
the further extension of agriculture,
as well as the development of indus
try, as a portion Of the surplus of
agricultural production can only be
placed upon the foreign markets, and
industry requires the import of plant
and machinery, raw materials, etc. In
the course of the current economic
year the turnover of our foreign trade
will show a considerable increase as
result of the good harvest. After the
acceptance of the report of the cen
trail control commission on the organ
izing of foreign trade, the plenum re-
corded the fact that 'the monopoly
of foreign trade had produced magni-
ticent results and must remain in the
future one of the infie&ible principles
of the Soviet state AT the same time
there was emphasizedE the necessity
Of a greater elasticity-and a greater

With the growth OF our industry
and the increase of the number of
workers the Importance of the trade
unions will become continually great
err. The central committee of the
plenum records an indisputable
strengthening of the trade unions,
which finds expression in the increase
of the number of members and in
the development of numerous branch
es of work among the masses (clubs,
relief funds, physical culture, etc.
but also in the Improvement of the
trade union apparatus. The plenum

basis of the decisions of the XIII
party conference, by granting cheap
credits. On the other hand the in
crease in the activity of all sections
of the peasantry and the development
ofrSoviet democracy in the village has
caused the party to devote greater at
tention to consolidating the organized
influence of the village poor in the
co-operatives, at the elections of viii
lage Soviets, in the relief committees
etc. The increasing activity Of the
big peasants, their attempt to create
a united front with the middle peas
ants, must be opposed by our party
organizations by establishing organ
izations Of the village poor and Gre
ating a bloc between the village poor
and the middle peasants. 1
Soviet Democracy.
DOTH the trade union question and
- the question of the organizing OF
the village poor are links in the chain
Of development of Soviet democracy
One of the fundamental conditions for
ASdAlDluS OONlSJ uGllOCldCJs uOWCNCts
is the strengthening of inner party de-
mocracy. One cannot combat bureau
cratism in the Soviets and in the
trade unions, if the bureaucratic de.
generations in the party organiza-
tions which conduct the work of the
trade unions and of the Soviets are
not overcome. The plenum of the
central committee has therefore de-
cided to issue an appeal to all party
organizations, and to call upon them
to build their entire work upon the
basis of the principles Of inner party
democracy laid down by the party
The XIV party conference which
meets in December, must be prepar-
ed in the spirit of these principles of
party democracy and of the feminist
unity of the party. The party confer
ence must be preceded by careful
discussion in the various party organ
izations of all the questions placed on
the agenda, and the elections must be
carried out in such manner that the
congress constitutes the most exact
and complete REFLECTION of the. views
and the mood of the entire party.

our economic possibilities permit and
in accordance with the increase of
the productivity Of labor The party
must devote special attention to inn
proving the position of the transport
workers and of the workers in heavy
industry, as well as in other branch
es of production in which wages are
on a relatively low level
There is hardly a single meeting of
our party at which the question of the
relations of the party to the peasantry
is not raised in one form or another.
The XIV party conference which too.
place a few months ago adopted a
number of decisions which assure the
development of peasant economy and
the strengthening of the alliance of
the proletariat with the middle peas
ants, and adopted various measures
for supporting and organizing the viii
lage poor. The8improvement of the
relations betweendhe proletariat and
the peasantry, the growing confidence
of the peasantrx in the Soviet power
and in our party, the fact that the
best elements of the village poor and
of the village peasants are rallying

THE session which has just con-
cluded of the plenum (full SESSION.
of the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party of Russia tok place on
the eve of the new economic year.
For this reason the work of the
plenum acquires special importance.
1t is true the prospects of the new
economic year now commencing are
not yet sufficiently clear. The basic
facts however, the good harvest which
will bring with it special advance in
all our national economy, are no
longer in doubt. In spite of the delay
in the purchase of corn, in spite of
the unusual movement in the price of
cereals this year, in spite Of the short
age of industrial goods and the fall
ing off of the revenue from taxes at
the beginning of the economic year,
we have no reason for rejecting those
calculations for the commencing eco
nomic year which are contained in
the so-called control figures of the In
stitute of Planned Economics The
basis for our calculations will prob
ably be quite clear by the end of
December. at the time of the holding
of the party congress of the R. c. P
Developing Industry Most Important.
AS regards the next tasks, all
speakers were agreed that large
scale regulation of the purchase of
corn, the prevention of competition
between the various buying organs
is necessary. 1t was emphasized that
one of the most important tasks of
the approaching period is the neces-
sity of developing industry. Only
by increasing the industrial output
will we be able to cope with the short
age of goods and to induce the peas
antry to sell their grain. Special en-
phasis was likewise laid Upon the re-
sponsible role which the co-opera-
tives are called upon to play. The
co-operatives must, in view of the
prevailing shortage of goods, become
the chief sources for supplying the
villages with industrial products. This

Virgin Islands Editor
Appeals Court Verdict
Especial to The Daily workerl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.--The ap-
peal of Rothschild Francis of the Vir-
gin Islands from his conviction for
criminal libel and contempt of court
will be heard before the United
States court of appeals at Philadel-
phia early in January Francis was
convicted by local judge who was
his political enemy and who tried the
case without jury. The appeal will
be argued by A. A. Berle, Jr., of New
York. David Wallerstein of Phila-
delphia, appears on the brief with
Mr.. Berle and will assist in the case.
II is expected that the decision in
the case will largely determine the
rights Of natives in relation to the
United States naval administration
of the islands, against which CON
slant agitation has been conducted by
native leacers. Francis is member
of the colonial council, editor OF the
Emancipation and president of the
American Federation of Labor Union
at st. Thomas.

had splendid effect in that it has
embittered the strikers and shaken
the confidence which some elements
among them had of the good inten-
tions of many of their self-appointed
friends.
One of the local papers states;
-. the lines have hardened
and the deadlock remains un-
changed. Headlines carrying promise
of early peace in the Industry have
not been borne out. Their promises
have not and cannot be fulfilled.
The truth must be faced. The region
confronts a most serious situa-
ton.
The above sentiments are in strik-
ing contrast to the optimism which
has characterized the local anthracite
press till now.

tural level of the masses, the bureau

tirely overcome in the trade unions,
and their administrative and ECO
nomic" shortcomings, as we'll as the
insuficiently deep and all-around con-
nection of the trade unions with the
masses, are making themselves felt
more acutely than ever Meanwhile,
the trade unions must especially now,
when the activity of the masses not
only in the towns but also in the
villages is growing, when we are set
ting ourselves the task of developing
Soviet democracy, carry out their
chief slogan: into the masses" and

The exercise of the leading role of
the party in trade union work must
be much more elastic The trade
unions must devote far greater at
tention to the fulfillment of their chief
task, the protection of the economic
interests and the raising of the level
of culture OF the working masses.
The trade unions must do still more
for the development of the activity of
the masses. They must do everything
in order that every non-party work
er shall regard the trade union as his
organization, an organization whose
duty it is to furnish him with reports
and which he can control. Only un-
der these conditions can the trade
unions fulfill their function as
schools of Communism"
Raising Wages Next Task.
One of the most important ques-
tions for our party is the question of
raising the standard of living of the
working class. The plenum declares
that the revival of industrial and agri-
cultural production offers the posi-
bility of taking a further step in rails

combination of operators, Wall Street
banks and the government, with which
the union is faced.
The most advanced section of the
progressive miners understand that
the history of the strike struggle is
so setting the stage that upon the ac-
tivity of the militants depends the
life of the union in the anthracite and
probably in the soft coal fields as
well.
AT present the miners are wonder
ing what is going on behind the
scenes but of one thing they are GER
tain, and of which many of them were
not certain heretofore:
That the main line of the strategy
of the operators is to smash the
Slipped Cog.
Most of them (that is the miners
with whom | talked and whom l judg-
ed as representatives of the most a'c-
tive strikers) are of the opinion that
a cog has slipped somewhere in the
relations between Lewis and Coolidge.
Most of them are inclined to the be-
lief that Lewis, because of his sup
port Of Coolidge, had been promised
some aid which would serve to boost
his prestige in labor circles without
hurting the operators; that Coolidge
had agreed to not interfere in the
strike and to persuade the coal bar
ons to grant some minor concessions.
The opinion now is that Coolidge has
handed Lewis the doublecross, that
the operators are determined to starve
the miners out and that nothing but
pulling out the maintenance men will
alter this attitude.
Pulling out the maintenance men
will bring either a settlement or war.
The left wing is getting ready to fore
stall bad settlement and to wage
a winning war by rallying the mass
strength of the whole union If the
operators decide on open warfare.

pay no attention to # anyway. Since
the meeting, however,c the resolution
has been discussed aan1ong many of
the members and the7r opinion is now
that it should be passed and sent to
the press and other Bcal unions.
In Delicate Position.
The sentiment against Cappelini is
quite strong here. 1t is so strong in
fact that the progressive elements
among the strikers are in a delicate
position. So fragrant have been some
of Cappelinis actions that they have
resulted in weakening the morale of
some of the strikers lt35cal 532, for in
stance. paid out its whole treasury
for relief and Cappellnl, according to
miners, sent the local officers a letter
threatening them with prosecution for
embezzlement. Following this some
sentiment for return to work devel-
oped among the more backward ele-
ments of the local. y
In a situation Of this kind the pro-
gressive elements have to conduct
their agitation for a. militant strike
with great care in order not to make
Cappellini the main issue and
strengthen the less conscious workers
in their desire to end the strike.
Complications.
The situation is complicated for the
left wing by the fact that as one min
er stated openly, "All the washeries
in the valley are working" Some of
the miners reason that if others get
permission to work there is no rea-
son why they should work as well.
Washery Number IA, owned by Judge
Maxey, before whom the case of Bren-
nan versus Cappellini arising out of
the last district election, will come,
is especially odious because it is, ac-
cording to the strikers, a clear in
stance of Cappellini catering to the
economic interests of Maxey in or
der to get the ear Of the court.

ing-trat is, coal is being run thru
the breaker and eight big trucks are
busy hauling coal all day long. The
pretext for this violation of the strike
rules in favor of a mine owned by a
mine inspector, is that the coal is
needed for a school. But the strikers,
who check up on every detail of these
transactions with a. scrutiny of the
most painstaking kind imaginable,
have noted that the coal selling
agency with which the mine inspec-
tor is connected, has lately had no diff
ficulty in supplying it's customers.
Incidents of this kind could be emu
merated almost endlessly.
Officials Petty Graft.
They are apparently sources OF
cheap graft to some of the officials,
they are destructive of strike morale,
causing interminable pickering, dis
sion and distrust, but actually have
little effect on the strike situation as
whole. AS a rule only small COM
panies and independent operators are
involved in these deals
