(WweleSs to the Daily Worker

(WireleSs to the Daily Worker)
BERLIN, Dec. 14.-The social
democratic police president of this
city, Zoergiebel, today prohibited
the open-air meetings and demon
strations of the Red Front Fright
ers, the militant defense or-.ani4a-
tion of the left wing woIxtrs of
Germany, which is under the influ-
ence of the German Communist
Party.
In this action he referred to the
martial law period ct 1928 "a as an
example and he indicated that a
direct attack on the we'd Front
Fighters was to follow shortly.
Zergiebel's action is the social
democratic price for the formation
of large government coalition.
BERLIN, Dec. 14.-Police have
prohibited all open-air meets and
demonstrations in Berlin, hoping in
this way to prevent the mass demon
stration of workers protesting
against the "socialist" sponsored i'm
perialist designs of the German
government, and any other working
class protests.
The police give as their reason for
this obviously anti-labor action the
recent clashes between police and
workers during mass demonstra-
tions.
The action has aroused a strong
wave of protest from revolutionary
organizations, not only in Berlin,
but thruout Germany.
1t is reported that mass demon
stration will shortly be held to pro-
test this new attack upon the
workers.

STAIN TALKS ON
PROBL. FACING
The SOVIET union
The Recontruction of
Agriculture, Rapid
Growth of Industry
Fight on Two Fronts
Hits Rumors Spread by
Opponents

MOSCOW. Nov. "a Qnprecor by
MaiD.-At the Plenary Session of
the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union
which is at present taking place in
Moscow, Comrade Stain made a
speech in which he dealt in detail
with the questions of the industrial
ization of the country, the recon-
struction of agriculture and the in
ner Party situation.
"The speedy development of in
dustry," declared Comrade Stain,
sis determined by the external and
internal conditions of the Soviet
Union. On the one hand the Soviet
Union represents the most advanced
power in the world, on the other
hand, however, it has at its disposal
only very backward industrial
technique. In order to abolish this
contradiction, the advanced tech
nique of the highly industrialized
capitalist countries must be caught
up with and surpassed. The indie
pendence Of the Soviet Union can
also not be protected unless there
is a sufficient industrial basis for
its defense. The century old back
wardness of the Soviet Union can
only be ended on the basis Of the
successful construction of socialism.
Everyone sees that our industry is
developing rapidly.
Necessity of Industrialization.
"The question of the speedy de-
velopment of industry would not be
so acute if the Soviet Union were
not the only country of the Dictator
ship of the proletariat, but one of
many countries in which the prole-
tartan dictatorship ruled In such
circumstances the capitalist environ
ment would represent no serious
danger. The necessity of q speedy
development of Industry is also die
tated by the. great backwardness of
agriculture in the Soviet Union, as
also by the fact that in agriculture
the small. scale producers are DOM
inant, so that socialist largc-scale
industry may be compared to an
| island in the sea. The reconstruc-
tion of agriculture upon a new tech
nical basis presupposes speedy de-
velopment Of industry.
"The capital invested in industry
this year will total 1850 million
roubles, or $50 millions more than
last year.
Trotsky's Left Errors.
"The contentious Of Comrade
Frumkin concerning the retrogres-
sion of agriculture contained num-
ber of serious right wing deviations.
