Soviet Republics.
Editor New Magazine Section,
Daily Worker:
MOT far from Rostov-on-the-Don, on
II the estate of one-time noble
man and general, is now located an
agricultural commune known as the
California Commune" Here we cul-
tivate the rich. loamy soil in accord
ance with scientific plan, with the
aid of high-powered tractors and the
latest farming equipment. This is the
third year of our existence and our
first bumper crop, and already, in
spite of many obstacles, we are on
sound economic basis. There are 140
people in our organization and our
problems do not end with the proper
cultivation of the soil. There is the
task of educating our membership and
drawing them more fully into the
activities of socialist construction.
Our newly formed Communist nucleus
is on the job and hopes in record time
to liquidate all traces of illiteracy
both political and ordinary.
When we consider the moral and
material aid given us by the Soviet
government and the glorious Com
munist Party in the form of land, seed
loans, exemption from taxation, long
time credits, exemption from duties,
and all kinds of technical advice and
assistance, we realize its incompar-
able superiority over the so-called
American democracy, where our
brother farmers are not only impover-
ished but actually driven off the land
at the behest of the greedy bankers.
Our commune is composed OF Ameri-
can workers and farmers. some of
whom do not as yet speak the Rus
sian language, but we want to tell
our American comrades that we are
100 percent for the Soviet system and
Hook forward to the future with the
greatest hope. We do not doubt that
we will accomplish our great aim,
which is TO organize a model farm
which will serve as an example and
school for the peasants of the north
ern Caucasus.
We are glad OF the opportunity of
sending our greetings to the workers
and poor farmers of America through
their paper The DAILY WORKER,
and we hope that they will more seri-
ously study the lessons of the
great October revolution and of our
immortal teacher Vladimir Ilyitch
Lenin. so that the time may soon
come when they too viii be building
a beautiful socialist future. like the
workers and peasants Of Soviet Rus
STA are doing.
With comradely greetings,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-02-20
Communist Men

WE are men standing defiant
Armed to the teeth with Marx
gunpowder.
Men, courageous. fes less and plant,
Not afraid Of the rumble growing
ever louder.

MARKETS REFLECT
STRIKE IN ENGLAND
Financial and Commodity
Dealings Affected-Prices
Are Sent Lower.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May S.-All financial
and commodity markets this week felt
the influence of the British general
strike. Stock and bond prices drifted
lower, with trading in the former turn
ing extremely dull; foreign exchanges
broke sharply. with French and Bel
gian francs crashing to new record
low levels; wheat prices developed
weakness and then made Irregular re.
covery. and other comodity markets
reflected uncertainty over the outcome
in England.
No serious disturbance TO American
trade has been reported thus far as a
result of the strike. although its pro
longed continuation undoubtedly Will
effect our export trade as Great Brit
ain is our best customer. In Wall
street, however. there was a rather
general belief that loss of business in
England would be compensated by in
creased business in other countries
particularly those where England IS
our principal competitor.
Domestic trade news continues raw
orable. Freight car loadings and bank
clearings are running in heavy vol
ume. steel mill operations continue
