Defense of the Soviet Union.
The whole world is under capitalist
domination. The socialist republic of
the Soviet Union is the sole country
in which there is Workers and
Farmers Government. The very ex-
istence of the Soviet Union is the
best proof that it is possible to over
throw capitalism and emancipate the
working class. The example of Sow
let Russia shows that socialism is not
dream. 1t is a fact-and a fact
that looms big in the history of
mankind-that under the leadership
of the Russian workers, nation Of
$50 million, not less than one-sixth
of the earth, has been able to free
itself from the yoke of capitalism and
establish a workers. republic which
has maintained power for over ten
years in spite of all the capitalists
Of the world.
The capitalist countries are carry
ing out ruthless naturalization at
the expense of the workers. Only
the Soviet Union is carrying out a
Socialist naturalization for the ben
eft of the nation as whole. The
proletarian dictatorship in the Soviet
Union appropriated the capitalists
and big landowners. The workers
control the industries. The working
farmers received the land of the big
landowners. Soviet Russia is build
ing Socialism now, and is taking the
first steps toward higher, a col
lective type of agriculture. There is
the most complete system of labor
protection and social insurance in
Soviet Russia. One of the first steps
of the proletarian revolution was the
introduction of the 8-hour day and
at the tenth anniversary of the ex-
istence of the Soviet Republic the
Soviet Government established the Z
hour day. While the courts and the
government of this country arc
smashing the unions in the name of
the constitution. the Code of Labor
Laws, Paragraph 155 of the Soviet
Union, runs:
"In accordance with Statute 16 OF
the Constitution of the Soviet Union,
all organs of the State must render
to the industrial unions and their or
CARNATIONS every assistance, place at
their disposal fully equipped premises
to he used as Palaces of Labor and
trade union halls; charge reduced
rates for public services, such as
posts, telegraphs, telephones, rail-
road and shipping rates, etc"
There is a sinister conspiracy of all
capitalist powers against the Socialist
Soviet Union. Great Britain is the
leader of the imrerialist coalition, but
the United States government is ac-
lively participating in it. The United
States government refuses to recog-
nize the Soviet Government, to recog-
nize the very existence of one of the
most powerful countries in the world,
for the sole reason that the workers,
and not the capitalists run that
country. The United States govern
ment and it's officials seize upon every
opportunity to fight the Soviet
Union. Ambassador Herrick's shame
full statements in Paris, the Ameri-
can loans to finance the anti-Soviet
policies of Poland and Finland, and
the rejection Of the goldbullion sent
to the United States are convincing
proofs Of the hostile policy of United
States imperialism toward Soviet
Russia.
The Soviet Union is the only power
which has reduced its military forces.
1t made the historic offer at the last
international conference at Geneva
for an immediate and complete dis
armament of all countries. The CAPT
talist governments refused to accept
the proposal of the Soviet Union be-
cause the very nature of capitalism
is aggression, oppression, and war.
All capitalist armies are deadly enc
mics of the working class, but the
