raw materials, for markets for goods
and investments, for labor power to
exploit, brings ever nearer the dan
ger of world conflict.
In the Far East the imperialists of
England, France, Italy, America and
Japan are aiming to impose capital
ist civilization" upon the "barbar-
ians" of the Eastern countries and
especially China. WithAthe help of
their fleets they destroy peaceful
villages in China and murder great
masses of peasants and workers.
Cooperating with the Chinese Jun
l;ers and bourgeoisie they seek to
extinguished the flames Of revolu-
ton in blood. The young and feeble
bourgeoisie of China have concluded
peace with all the imperialist powers
and have betrayed the national rev.
olution. The peasant uprisings in
the country and the disturbances of
the workers in the towns indicate
that the class war is developing
strength again in China. Native and
foreign capitalists have united their
forces against the revolutionary
movement of the Chinese workers
and peasants.
The attempt of the imperialist
powers to crush the Chinese revolu-
ton has twofold aim: to gain new
spheres of exploitation for the i'm
perialist powers and at the same
time to open the road for an attack
on the Soviet Union from the Far
East. The power of the proletarian
dictatorship stands as stumbling
block in the way of the imperialist
advance. Capitalism is making
mighty efforts on all fronts and with
all means at its disposal to crush
the Soviet Union politically, econo-
mically and with military force. 1t
cannot reconcile itself to the fact
that this government of workers and
peasants covering one-sixth of the
surface of the globe, possessing
enormous natural resources, produc-
tive forces and population refuses
to be subjected to imperialist ex-
ploitation, and worse than that, dares
to call to the exploited and oppres-
sed masses all over the world: Arise!
Don't hesitate, and you can also
throw off your chains and become
the rulers of the world!
The Soviet Union, surrounded as
it is by the hatred and persecution
of all the capitalist countries, is the
only country which holds out the
possibility of emancipation to work
ing women. Only in the Soviet
Union have complete freedom and
equality for women workers been
achieved. The position of the work
ing women, the peasant women and
all classes of women toilers is i'm
proving every year. The laws that
have been enacted for the benefit
of women are rapidly being put in
to effect. Working women receive
equal pay for equal work in Soviet
Russia. They receive by law two
weeks vacation with pay, also two
months leave with full wages be-
fore and after childbirth. Laws pro-
viding for the health of women
workers and for social insurance
and old age pensions are being put
into operation. The working women
are sent to hospitals and sanatoria,
houses of rest and recreation, To-
Gated in the palaces and villas of
former nobility, aristocracy and
bourgeoisie.
Much attention is given in the
Soviet Union to the training of
working women for more skilled
work through special courses and
technical Institutes. The factory
management works together with
the trade unions under the super
vision of the Communist Party to
safeguard workers in the introduc-
ton of naturalization against I'M
employment and the speed-up. Work
ing women are members of the fac
tory committees and all other or
CARNATIONS and institutions which
organize and guide the internal life
of the country. She is benefitting
especially by the Introduction of the
seven hour day which is being car
ried out without wage reductions
in the land of the proletarian die
tatorship.
None of the capitalist countries
with their tremendous wealth can
boast of such social institutions and
undertakings for the benefit of
mothers and children as the Soviet
Union. Educational institutions and
schools for older children help great
ly to solve the problems of mothers
az parents. A whole series of in
stitutions for the care of mothers
and children has been organized
during the last year. During this
time the number of children's nurs-
cries and Fairgrounds organized in
connection with factories has great
ly increased. The peasants are de-
handing that such institutions be
organized in greater numbers in the
villages also, and they are estab-
fishing themselves from public
funds.
Great public restaurants have
been opened in Ivanovo-V osnesensk,
Nijni-Novgorod and Moscow and
other towns which have proved the
success of the experiment and have
