ECONOMIC CONSTRUCTION.
Mining Industry In 1927-192S.


Control figures for 1929 indicate
considerable development of the
mining industry: coal production is
to increase 17%o, coke production 300,
production of raw oil 149o and produc-
ton of kerosene, benzine and vege-
table oil 25 to 41e6; in the iron ore
industry a 27f5 increase of production
is expected. This increased production
will enable the mining industry 20
supply next year all the fuel, miner
ais and other mining products which
the country needs. At the same time,
cost of production will be reduced on
an average 5.6@e.
Considerable amounts have been as
signed for capital work in the mining
industry: for the coal industry--136
million roubles (it was 125 million
roubles in 1926-27). for the oil indus
try-195 million roubles.
Ten Years Progress.
The "Comintern" leather works in
Leningrad was very small concern
prior to the revolution. 1t was
thoroughly re-equipped under the Sow
let government and increased its pro-
ductivity IA times. It's output in 1926
was 100000 hides instead of the
former $4,000. At present, the pro-
ductive capacity Of the works is l.
100000 hides per year.
Canal for the Irrigation Of $4,000
Hectares Land.
In the coming financial year, a
canal % kilometres long will be laid
on the right bank of the Syr-Darya in
Central Asia for the irrigation of part
of the Steppe. This canal will irri-
gate $4,000 hectares.
Storage of Cotton Makes Progress.
The Cotton Storage Campaign in
Fergun (Uzbekistan) is in full swing
All the cotton cleansing works, two
of them only recently constructed,
have been set going.
Expansion of Foreign Trade.
The turnover of the foreign trade
of the U. S. S. R. amounted to 1872
million roubles in August, against 100
million roubles in July Of the current
year and 101 million roubles August,
1926.
The general turnover of foreign
trade during the last eleven months
amounted to 1922 million roubles; ex-
port 691 million roubles and imports
631 million roubles.
The active balance of the foreign
trade of the U. S. S. R. during this
period reached COS million roubles
against the passive balance of 101.6
million roubles for the same period
last year.

PRAvDk HITS AT
NEW TACTICS or
TROTSKY GROUP
OppOsitiOn's M e t h o d S
Move for New Party

Especial Gable to DAILY WORKER)
MOSCOW, Oct. 16.-That the
methods of the Opposition are lead
ing to an attempt at the creation of
new party is the charge made
against it in an editorial in Pravda.
The new tactics of the Opposition are
being employed with an eye on the
coming Party Congress.
The Opposition wants to carry a
struggle against the Party and use
all weapons that can possibly harm
it, the Pravda says. The Opposition
evidently intends to place before the
Party the accomplished fact of new
party.
Illegal Apparatus.
Showing that by it's feverish ac-
tivity the Opposition created its own
illegal apparatus, Pravda points out
that the methods of the Opposition
have nothing in common with the
traditions of Leninism and the Bolsh-
evist Party.
The illegal anti-party activity
carried on in a country in which a
dictatorship of the proletariat exists,
constitutes not only a breach of dis
cipline, but also the gravest crime
against the feminist Party and a pro
vocation against Bolshevism by the
bourgeois democracy, the Pravda
continues.
Hits Printing Office.
1t is therefore impossible to keep
within the bounds of educational
methods in the struggle against the
Opposition. Therefore, the Central
Control Commission was absolutely
right in having excluded from the
Party Preobrajensky, Serebriakov,
and Charov who took, upon them
selves the responsibility for the or
ganization of a secret printing office.
Aligned with Enemies.
The more the Opposition estranges
itself from the feminist line, the more
it adopts the arguments of the
enemies of the working class, the
Pravda points out The Opposition
desires "subjectively" the victory of
Socialism, but it does not believe in
the possibility of this victory. The
elements who decidedly do not desire
the victory of Socialism are ranging
themselves. along side of the Oppose
ton, namely the bourgeois non-party
intellectuals not those who are wC-k-
ing in the interests of the toilers, but
those who cannot live under the pro-
letarian dictatorship. The OPPOSE
ton joins willingly with such ele-
ments.
The Opposition in it's anti-Party
dealings is decidedly blamed by all
Bolshevists. The Party will never
under any circumstances bend the
banner Of Bolshevism before the ban
ner of the bourgeois democracy.
There is no place for the heroes of the
illegal printing office in the Bolsh-
evist ranks.
fractional disrupters will never suq-
coed in running the work carried on
by the Communist Party. The Party
will put an end to the illegal activities
of the Opposition.

APIA, Samoa (South Pacific
OCEAN, Serious trouble threatens in
ex-German Samoa, because of the ac-
ton of the New Zealand government

priving them of their titles and deport-

Old Social System.
The natives of Samoa have an elab-
crate social system of self-govern-
ment, handed down from generation to
generation, to which every Samoan
submits as matter of course. This
social system was recognized by the
Germans who brought their control
of the territory into harmony with
the Samoan traditions. Thus it was
that under German rule there was a
native parliament, consisting of an
Upper House of Is Sacred Chiefs, and
a Lower House of 'Faipules' 0ocal
representatives. elected by the Sam
oans in the various villages and dis
tricsts.
The New Zealand government has
now abolished all native authority,
and in its place has set up a legisla-
tive council, consisting of six official
members appointed by the govern
ment, unofficial members elected by
the Europeans in the territory, and a
"Native Advisory Council" selected by
the administrator. But these native

can people, and the best proof of this
is that they have been repudiated by
30 out of the SO native districts in
Samoa. Further than this, the Sam
oans generally regard the advisers"
as mere nominees Of the government.
Samoans Protest.
When the Samoans protested
against the attempt to break down
their ancient traditions the New Yea
