"the struggle for the victory of So
cialist reconstruction in the Soviet
Union is the main task of our party
and that our country possesses every.
thing necessary for building up the
completed socialist society" (Lenin)
The party congress recorded "the
economic offensive of the working
class on the basis of the new economic
policy and the progress Of the eco
nomy of the Soviet Union to So
cialism."
The party congress declared that
zone of the conditions for the sue
cessful solution of the problems con-
fronting the party is the struggle
against the disbelief in the possibility
Of the building up of socialism in
our country and the attempts to
present our state enterprises which
Lenin called enterprises Of logical
socialist type, as state capitalist en-
terprises."
The party congress declared that
''the main road to socialist recon
struction in the village consists in
the drawing into the cooperative or
CARNATIONS of the main masses of the
peasantry, in securing the socialist
development of these organizations
and utilizing, overcoming and abolish
ing their capitalist elements, under
the strengthening economic leader
ship of socialist state industry, the
state credit institutions and other
strongholds of the working class"
The party congress condemned de-
cisively the fear of the middle peas
ant" and stated that effectively this
fear would lead to an undermining of
proletarian dictatorship.
Condemn Underestimation Of Kulak
Danger.
The party convention explained that
"the struggle against the kulaks should
be carried on by the strengthening
of the alliance of the working class
and the village poor with the middle

cooIidge's Red Herring.
At a time when the militant work
ers of America are gathering their
strength for a struggle against these
persecution laws, Coolidge is drawing
across the trail the deportation
weapon against foreign-born criminals.
When the militants are protesting
against deportation OF the foreign
born workers, Coolidge camouflages
the deportation stick as If intended
only for alien criminals. When the
Coolidge camoufage campaign runs
it's course, then it will be easier to
put over the vicious laws aimed at the
foreign-born. Deportation will have
become a popular method, and finger
printing and registration will only
seem a means to determine those fit
for deportation. This is the plan of
the government at Washington. Work
ers should not be deceived by it. A
real war against crime is a war
against the capitalist system. There
is no other solution. Deportation is
not a weapon against criminals. but
against the working class. The pro-
lection of the foreign-born in the light
OF this capitalist campaign becomes
an issue Of immediate Importance to
the working class.

reorganization of the apparatus OF the
Comintern in such manner that all
important sections take greater part
in the leading political work of the
Comintern.- The significance Of the
capturing of the trade unions and of
the struggle for international unity
was particularly stressed.
The central committee of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Unions re-
jects with determination all counter
revolutionary talk on an alleged in
tended affiliation of the trade unions
Of the Soviet Union to the Amsterdam
Trade Union Federation or of the
Soviet Union to the league of nations.
The central committee Of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union
states that on questions Of foreign
policy Of the Soviet Union as we'll as
on questions which concerned the po-
Icy Of the sister parties, no diff
lferences Of opinion Of any significance
existed within the Communist Party
Of the Soviet Union The discussion
on the internal problems is settled
by the decisions of the party conven-
ton. The party congress has not only
passed decisions of principles on the
questions of the agenda. but also ad
dressed special letter to the Lenin--
grad party organization which deals
with the attitude of the Leningrad del
egation, which made a co-speech to the
political speech Of the central COM
mittee and, in contradiction to the
vote of confidence of the Leningrad
government conference for the activi-
ty Of the central committee, voted
against the declaration of confidence
at the party congress.
Unity in Russian Party.
At present the Leningrad delegation
has been already disavowed by the
Leningrad proletarians and Commun-
lists. The unanimous support of the
party masses of the whole country,
among them also those of Leningrad.
of the decisions of the party congress
guarantees the party unity. Under
such circumstances we have all
reasons to believe that within a short
time, the party will overcome the
period of temporary economic diff
culties which result from the economic
growth of the country and which the
enemies of the working class will at
tempt to utilize.
The central committee of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union is
unanimously of the opinion that the
extension Of the discussion on the
Russian problem into the ranks of
the .Comintern is undesirable. The
central committee of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union is just as
unanimously of the opinion that the
leadership of the Comintern must also
in future receive full confidence and
support. The central committee of
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union hopes that the sister parties
together with the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union will march III
closed ranks their historic road under
the banner of the Comintern.

Birth Increase In s6vIet Union.

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R.-(Tass)--
Feb. 15.-At the conference for the
protection Of motherhood and infants,
Professor Mikhailovsky read letters on
the birth and infant mortality in the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics.
For the last two to three years the
birth rate has reached the pre-war
standard. There are 100000 chill.
dren born yearly. The rate of infant
mortality is only II per cent of births.
Lowering the death rate by 40 per
cent is due to new social conditions,
to the new legal position of the moth
er. and to the care Of the Soviet gov
eminent of infantsrs On account Of the
high, rate Of births and the startling
diminlshment Of infant mortality, the
Soviet Union has now an increase Of
population, exceeding those OF the
other states in Europe. =

TN South America, in Asia, in all
L parts of the world there RACES the
desperate struggle of Anglo-American
imperialism for markets, for sources
of raw material, for investment fields
America exercises an ever-increas
ing attractive power on the most i'm,
portant dominions of the British EN-.
pire, especially on Canada and Aus
tralia. The former American ambas-
sar to Great Britain, Harvey, recently
declared that the British Empire is
done. The indignation which this
statement aroused in all political
shadings of the British press is hardly
describable.
1t is no coincidence that President
Coolidge in his last address to con-
gress so decisively declared against
the entrance of America into the
league of nations. With growing vex-
alton America sees the league Of ma
tions emerge as the instrument OF
British Imperialism.
Our Soviet republic and the entire
international proletariat has reason to
follow carefully this Anglo-American
duel. to analyze all entanglements Of
Anglo-American diplomacy, to expose
the intrigues of both imperialist pow
ers, but also to exploit the conflicts
between the two imperialist bandits

introduces the red herring of honest
juries as the solution for crime.
Deportation no Solution.
Deportation will solve nothing but
will simply transfer. the activities OF
the criminals to Italy. Those who at
tempt to go into industry will draw
down further the standard of living of
the Italian worker. Some Of them will
become, others will resume their pre-
vious role of fascist wreckers of
working class organizations. The
Italian government refuses to shoulder
the responsibility for the gangsters
describing them as made in Amer
ica." America charges foreigners with
the responsibility for crime, and pre-
tends that with their exclusion, crime
is done away with AS is usual with
crooks, both are right in charging the
other with responsibility.
The completely OF the government
in crime was revealed by Deputy
Chief Siege, when he admitted that
all the efforts to deport So "Sicilian

failed.
Government. Steps In.
The case has assumed national i'm
portance with the statements OF Coo
lidge and Davis. Coolidge. the fake
strong man of the BOSTON police strike
Of 1919, the silent mouthpiece of Wall
Street, urges deportation of alien
criminals Secretary Of Labor Davis
With years of anu-alien propaganda
behind him joins the procession. But
deportation never was weapon
against criminals. It was used against
class conscious workers striving for
better conditions for the working
class. The Palmer red raids" pro-
duced the deportation delirium Of 1920
and 1921. Since then many other
cases have come up OF similar nature.
The fear of strikes in basic indus
tries is behind the administration
move for laws to register all aliens,
and to flnger-print them. The machin.
cry for deportation is being oiled.
Working Class Protest.
The only effective protest against
past attempts to put over such legis-
lation came from the councils for the
protection of foreign-born, consisting
of unions and OTHER working class or.

aid in arousing The workers of Amer

The central committee of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union
addressed the following informatory
letter to all the sections of the Com
intern on the results of the fourteenth
party congress-:
With regard to the special interest
that we observe in our sister parties
for the discussion that took place in
our party, with regard to the fact
that the actions of the opposition
within the Communist Party Of the
Soviet Union naturally cause fears
among the workers and Communists
of the whole world and finally with
regard to the fact that the social
democratic and bourgeois press ex-
aggerates our discussion in every
possible way and Systematically mis-
represents the true situation, the
central committee of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union decided to
address this informatory letter to
all sections of the Comintern thru the
executive committee of the Communist
International.
The situation, in which the differ
ences of opinion have developed in
our party, is characterized by the
rapid growth of the economy of the
Soviet Union and the very compli-
Gated tasks with which the Communist
Party is confronted. Our foreign COM
rades must take into consideration
that in our country, under the condi-
lions of proletarian dictatorship, not
only the whole attitude of Commun-
list Party to the daily political problem
changes (for we utilize the power
that has been conquered for the carry
ing out of the socialist reconstruction
while our brother parties will only
in the future fight the revolutionary
struggle for power) but that all con-
crete tasks become extremely compli-
Gated. Every word, every decision
of the party must mean action. Only
thus can and must party work which
leads a victorious proletariat
The past year was year of great
economic progress. The industrial
and agricultural production almost
reached the pre-war level The social
list elements of economy have devel
oped very considerably and their spe.
cific gravity has increased. On the
other hand the contradictory transit
tional character of our society, the
majority of which consists Of peas
ants, inevitably expressed itself by
the fact that together with the devel
opment Of the socialist forms of eco
nomy, the elements of capitalism
particularly on the field of commercial
capital, and in the country in the form
of the so-called kulak, economies were

TIME capitalist class of Chicago to-
i gether with the national govern
ment are intensifying their hgnt
against the foreign-born worker ana
are using the gangster war in Chicago
to stir up more hatred against the
foreign-born worker thus preparing
the ground for deportation of militant
workers. Screaming headlines an
nounce the determination OF the gov
eminent in Washington to start de-
portation proceedings against the
alien criminals.
The pretext is furnished by the
large number of murders in Chicago
during the last twenty years which
have been reduced to system. Re-
Gently several such murders occurred.
At present two men are on trial ac-
cused of killing two policemen. One
prospective juror stated that he fear
ed for his life, il as a juror he voted
to convict the accused. This unusual
discovery has suddenly aroused the
moral indignation of the judges, law
yers and businessmen, who are howl
ing for law and order.
Ostensibly, the campaign is aimed
at certain gangsters who fight out
with guns the economic competition
OF the bootleggers and the politicians
allied with them. Even Chief of Police
Collins admitted that the gangsters
are rendered more powerful than ever
thru the fortunes made thru bootleg
cling. and their political affiliations.

thru the organization Of the village
poor against the kulaks."
The party convention definitely con-
demned the deviation which consists
in the underestimation of the kulak
danger, as well as that depression
which fails to realize the significance
of the winning of the middle peas
antry and of its socialist cooperation:
The party congress particularly stres-
sed the necessity Of the fight against
the latter deviation because the party
is better, prepared for the immediate
struggle against the kulaks while the
latter depression is based upon the
lack of understanding for the compli-
Gated methods of struggle and en-
dangers the alliance between the
workers and peasants and thus the
whole work of reconstruction.
