This was the keynote of a mass

Remarkable Gains
In Soviet Union
Told In Theses

MOSCOW, (By Mail) Remarkable
developments in the industry and ag-
riculture of the U. S. S. r. are fore
Swallowed in theses and reports pre-
scented by state planning bodies here
this week.
The All Union Conference of state
planning commissions now sitting eX-
amined a five year plan which pro-
vides that in 1881 the production of the
state industry will reach nine and
half millian roubles (S4,750, 900, 000)
which means an increase of 80 milli-
ard Boubes ($1, zoo, 0O0,000) compared
with 1926.
State and local budgets viii reach
S.3 milliard r0ubles ($4, 100, 000,0 00)
against the present 81 milliard
roubles $4,000, 000,O00).
More Money for Social Needs.
Expenditure for administration and
defense remains almost without al
iteration, while there will be consider
ably increased expenditure on social
and cultural needs.

let Congress, just published, point out
that the growth Of the area under
cultivation in the Soviet Union has in
creased to 96.1 of the 1913 standard.
In 1925 the area was 92.S per cent
of the pre-war figure The area under
cultivation in 1926 was 112 million
hectares (about 440, 900 square miles,.
In 1881, 1872 million hectares will be
under cultivation, il is estimated This
will be ! 1 per cent over the 1913 level
Cooperative Farming.
There were 27,OOO meteor tractors in
the Soviet Union, 80 per cent Of which
were in the hands Of the peasantry.
The production of agricultural ma
chimes this year will reach sc million
roubles (about $3.50, ,O0O) or 40 per
cent more than in 1913.
The growth of cooperative farming
is seen in the fact that about 100000
peasant homesteads-or about one
third of the peasant population-have
pooled resources amounting to a milli-
ard and half roubles ts750,0e0, 000)

Protest Of World
Labor Gets Civil
Trial for SzantO

The trial of Zoltan Szanto and his
"accomplices" of the "Szanto plot"
has been transferred from the mill
tary court which could only pass the
death sentence to the civil courts.
Despite carefully prepared cam
paign by the subsidized, bought and
paid for press, under shelter of which
the Hungarian Horthy Dictatorship
attempted to railroad these tested
proletarian fighters to the gallows the
storms Of protest of the workers all
over Europe has forced the military
court to reIinquish it's victims.
Opposed Horthy Terror.
Zoltan Szanto, the brother of Bella
Zsanto, one of the Peoples Commits
sars for War under the Soviet Gov
eminent of Hungary, was arrested
several months ago on charges of
Conspiracy to overthrow the Horthy
regime" growing out of his active
propaganda among the masses.
Fearing the results Of a civil trial
the Horthy press demanded the trial
of Szanto and his "accomplices" by
the military court made up of the
hand picked henchmen among the
counter-revolutionsry officers.
Faced Death.
In 1919, when the treachery of the
Social Democrats and the Allies,
using the troops of the Rumanian re-
dictionaries, forced the downfall of the
Hungarian Soviet and the triumph Of
the White counter-revolution Szsnto
and other Communists were COM
PEELED to seek safety abroad. But by
1922 the necessity of building up the
Hungarian Communist Party illegally
brought the most active and courage
Gus fighters back to Hungary tho to
be caught meant certain imprison-
ment and probably death.
A Legal Farce.
In 1926 Rakoszi was caught, tried
and convicted. His trial and that of
his fellow workers, legal farce, was
utilized by Rakoszi to bring to the
oppressed Hungarian workers the
fearless message of militant Com
munism. The Horthy Terror was
frightened and had recourse TO fiercer
prosecutions. The trial Of Szanto and
his 80 "accomplices" was the first
arrests of this terror.

the immediate undertaking of con

city to provide jobs for unemployed

In addition to the above quoted

now seeking reelection as strike
breakers and enemies of the workers.

Educating Workers.
Just as the strike was a meaps of
educating the 10000 textile workers
to understand more fully the class
government in America, so will the
election campaign be further educa-
tor, not only for the textile workers
but for all the members Of the work
ingclass of that city.
Already we see attempts to sup
press the labor group. Weisbord's
speech last Monday was stopped by
the gangsters of Commissioner of
Public Safety, Abram Preskiell. The
campaign may meet further OBJ
stacles, but they will all help to give
clearer understanding to the
workers of the role of the American
government-local, state and national,
as a weapon to keep the workers in
industrial and political bondage.

Err is facing combined attack on every

name of various patriotic societies, are seek
ing to suppress our paper. The heavy finan-
cial difficulties which the paper is facing, are
made even more difficult by the addition of

Any cOmrade, who, at such critical time,

letarians will consider this comrade false to

We ask every comrade to awake to his

under fire. Now is the time before it is too
late. Any delay, any hesitation may mean
the loss of our paper.

CURRENT EVENTS

(ContiMed from Page One)
of the Detroit Labor News, official
organ of the Detroit Federation of
Labor, over the ingratitude Of a
mayor who has failed to reward the
labor takers who helped to elect him
to office with the promised jobs.
Now Mayor William Hale Thompson
of Chicago is not that kind of girl.
A gang of takers known as the
Wage Farmers League" bet on his
election and won. One of the boys
will be placed on the Civil Service
Commission. Big Hearted Bill!
IF the editor of the Detroit Labor
News and his owners sought APP
pointments for labor for the sake of
the filthy lucre that is attached to
such positions ones grief would not
be so burning. But those decent fell
lows are only concerned with the dig
nifty of labor. Still, we know that
some of our more skeptical readers
will not shed any sympathetic tears
with us. They will simply reason
that if the labor bureaucrats were
concerned with the dignity of labor
and the interests of the rank and file
rather than with graft they would
organize a Labor Party instead of
asking favors of the capitalist poll
teal leaders on Bonded knee and with
hat in hand.
IN yesterdays paper predicted that
even the capitalist correspondents
in Europe no longer found a market
for tales of revolts in the Soviet
Union spoke too soon. The pro-
fession of a prophet is one Of the
most precarious. Indeed wise pro-
phet should only predict after, not
before the fact. So it happened with
mine. The truth is that the liars
were on their way from Riga to
Bucharest having heard that Queen
Marie had come out of seclusion and
had re-entered society. The CORE
spondents had bad winter in Riga
and they are candidates for a little
relaxation.
A BUCHAREST dispatch had it that
IA the Red Army was busy putting
down rebels in the Ukraine who
shouted maledictions on the heads of
the international bourgeoisie who are
crucifying China. Under the slogan
Hands off China" the workers and
peasants held demonstrations and the
Red Army had an awful time block
ing their path to the great Cobb
desert which we are informed b. AIR
ly unreliable authority is the path
ovsr which a crow would fly to China.
Not having succeeded in breaking
thru the bayonet wall interposed be-
tween them and China by the Red
Army, the disappointed crusaders
lodged into cellars and cursed the
Soviet government and all it's works
and pomps. Then the reporters took
another look at Queen ,Marie's maids
of honor, had few more drinks and
thot they were licking the Red Army.
This is a sample Of the news that
is served up TO its customers by Mr..
oche's paper. Perhaps there is some
thing in name after all.

see slight increases in present strength Of some nations arma- ments agreed to as a beginning.
 This sounds hopeless enough - but it's importance, observers say, is in the fact that any agreement will end the menace of competitive building and furnish q basis on which later conferences may work.
 Therefore all efforts of the league Of nations during 1928 will center on preparing for the first general land, sea and air disarmament con- ference. They hope it will be held late next year or early in 1929. and that 1t will result in an agreement to limit armaments to their present. or nearly 10 their present strength.
 If this conference is successful in it's aim, league men look forward 10 few blank years during which slow, careful preparations may be made for the first real reduction in strength, to be followed at long in tervals by others.
