r. RECOGNITION OF
.U.S.S.R, DEMANDED
AT MONSTER MEET
Resolution Adopted
Unanimously

The following resolution condemn
ing the imperialist sabotage plot in
the Donetz Basin of Soviet Russia
and demanding the recognition of the
Soviet Union was unanimously adopt
ed at the opening session of the
Workers (Communist) Party Conven-
ton at Mecca Temple, 1873 W. 55th
St., Friday evening:
Resolution on the Shaktinsk Trial in
Moscow.
Whereas, the Soviet Government
has put on trial before the Court in
Moscow a group of engineers and
technical experts formerly occupying
important positions in the socialized
coal industry of the Donetz Basin,
and
Whereas, it has also been estab-
lished that these technical experts
have carried on their treacherous and
counter-revolutionary activities on the
industrial field at the direction and
with the financial support of the for
mer owners of the Donetz mines
which are now part of the socialized
industries of the Soviet Union owned
by the workers and peasants; and
Whereas, it has also been estab-
lished that several powerful capital
list groups in Germany, France, Eng
land and Poland were backing finan-
eially and directing the criminal sabo-
tage of the technical experts now on
trial and that the latter have been
cooperating with secret service agents
of several capitalist governments; and
Whereas, these facts clearly indi-
cate the existence of an extended con-
spiracy of world capitalism in alliance
with the Russian White Guard to dis
rupt the building of Socialism in the
Soviet Union, to weaken it econom-
ically and politically in preparation
for open imperialist war upon the
Workers Republic; and
Whereas, the crime of these tech
nical experts becomes even blacker
in the face of the great consideration
high salaries and other privileges ac-
corded them by the Soviet Govern
ment and the toiling masses of the
Soviet Union for the purpose of en-
couraging these experts to work free
ly and in an atmosphere of trust for
the economic upbuilding of the
country;
Therefore, we, the workers of New
York and vicinity, assembled in Mecca
Temple to greet the Workers (Com-
munist) Party Nominating Conven-
ton, do hereby resolve:
l. That the safety, security, we'll
being and success of socialist con-
struction in the Soviet Union is the
greatest concern of the workers of the
entire world.
2. That we condemn this newest
capitalist conspiracy against the Sow
let Union, as inimical to the vital In
terests of the toilers throughout the
world and that we express our deep
est satisfaction with the success of
the Soviet authorities in uncovering
this conspiracy and bringing the Gull
prits to trial before the toiling masses
of the world.
8. That we call upon the court Of
the Soviet Union to mercilessly crush
and stamp out this conspiracy, melting
out adequate punishment to those
proved guilty, and that we also call
upon the working class of America
and the entire world to redouble It's
vigilance and to intensity it's prepare
tons for the defense of the Soviet
Union against the threatening war OF
the imperialist powers.
Further, that we demand of the
United States government the i'm
mediate recognition of the Soviet
Union.
