SOVIET TRADE HERE INCREASING RAPIDLY:
AMTORG PURCHASES SMASH ALL RECORDS

American export list to the Soviet
Union. Cotton purchases during the
past season effected by the All-Rus-
sian Textile Syndicate of 120 Broad
way, were about $45,000,0O0.
at is worthy of note that the great
bulk of Soviet orders here are for
production goods rather than con-
sumption goods-that is, for machin-
cry, equipment, raw material. This is
significant of the upbuilding and con-
structive process in the Soviet Union.
Probably few Americans, in con-
sidering the Soviet market, realize
the extent of this upbuilding and the
large consequent increase in individ-
ual consuming capacity since the war.
Before the war the per capita con-
sumption Of wheat was Al bushels,
now it is 4S bushels. Similarly, the
per capita consumption of milk has
risen from 1874 to 411.5, lbs; eggs,
80 to, 81; sugar, 8.S pounds to 1913;
tea, 3 ounces to SIS. An increased
demand for manufactured goods is
also making itself evident in the
Soviet Union. Per capita consump-
ton of cotton fabrics, for instance,
rose from 9.8 meters to 14.5 meters.
During the past ten months some
rs Soviet technicians and industrial
executives have visited the United
States to familiarize themselves at
first hand with American productive
methods. These men represent some
of the largest economic organizations
of the Soviet Union, including the
Azneft oil trust, the Grozneft oil
trust, the Don Basin coal trust, the
Chemical trust, the Dnieper hydro
electric development and the Supreme
Economic Council. Such visitors are
in real sense permanent business
builders Of high order"

Preacher Who Pickets
Lashes Congregation
For SaccO, Vanzetti

BUFFALO, Aug. 16.-Declaring
that Sacco and Vanzetti are prisoners
of the class war and are in Jail be-
cause they dared stand up for the
workers rights, the Rev. H. J. Hahn
has shocked a congregation of hard
ened saints from the pulpit of the
Salem Evangelical Church.
Intelligent, fair-minded men and
women all over the world have come
to the assistance of Sacco and Van
zetti because they are so obviously in
nocent of murder and guilty of de-
Tending the interests of the workers. -
the preacher asserted.
Cruelty them! Burn them! are
words familiar to Christian ears" the
Rev. Hahn stated. "You church peo-
pie are shocked because l, an abscure
preacher, spent few hours in jail
for pleading in behalf of my brother
men, victims of a cruel system of
rapacious exploitation. You modern
Christians make the church an instru-
ment of reaction, sardonic carica-
ture of Christianity, a farce and
travesty."
The Rev. Hahn was recently jailed
in Boston for picketing the State
House.

They Shall Not Die!"

The sun goes down;
The whip
Stings;
And in the darkness
We raise our fists to it.
At home, little child cries.
Softly, like the wind
Over fresh grave.
o you murderers, you judges, editors,
And you who sit there,
Hidden in the shadows,
Smoking so peacefully!
No, it is not
To the bosses alone that we shout,
But to you, to you as well.
You labor leaders,
Who hold the strings,
Who have the power,
Who can do so much.
But you are either too cowardly
Or too much of one flesh
With the bosses.
The whip
Shrieks,
Down, down.
"On your knees, you Reds.
On your knees, Sacco, Vanzetti,
On your bloody knees, your knees."
And at home the child cries,
The child cries, plaintively,
Like the wind through the trees in
summer.
1t is easy to take a pen
And write lines,
But those lines will never
Express our hatred for you,
Judges, murderers, white guards,
For to say how we hate you,
How we feel,
You would need to
Tear out the hearts
Of millions of workers
And throw them on white paper;
And the blood, streaming, this way
and that,
Might tell of our pain and our hatred.
Of our hatred to you!.
The sun goes down,
Lower, lower.
1t is so dim.
Comrade, but it is dim.
And we can hear
The whip moaning,
Moaning, cutting,

We can hear the whip shrieking,
Shrieking, weeping.
The sun goes down,
So low:
And all we can see
is wide fields, hills in Silhouette.
Quiet waters.
On that hill are two gibbets.
Sacco and Vanzetti hang by the hands
From them.
And two, who are men.
Are raising the whips again,
Again, again.,
At the foot of the HILL
Look, cOmrade, look.
Those animals, bearing in their bloody
teeth,
Fresh strips of leather,
To be used on the warm flesh.
New strips of leather.
And all around us
The huge mass shudders.
If we could move this mass.
One step, one step forward,
If we could stir this mass
To one seething motion.
A little child would not cry
Today, nor tomorrow;
Here, nor anywhere.
Workers, they are
Your brothers, your comrades!
Workers, can't you feel the whip.
You too,
Hot with blood?
For it falls equally
On all of us.
The sun goes down,
And which is redder,
The low sun
Or the bleeding bodies,
Which is redder,
The hangmen know.
The hills loom.
The judges frown.
Two more Iashes,
One more, then, and soon il
Will be all, all over.
One resolute step,
Fist held high;
One sweeping charge,
Torches high,
Cine clear, thunderous, wrenching cry:
They shall not diel
