Military Budget Grows; Polish umanian
Alliance Against USSR

with the aid of Polish officers given
special leave of absence for the pur-
pose and with the aid of the Lithu-
anian social democrats.
Increase of Military Budget.
The preliminary proposal of the
Polish war office for the military
budget for the years 1929-30 amount
to 800 million Zloty, or 81 million
Zloty more than in the previous
year. This enormous sum of 800 mil
lion Zloty is only a part of the ac-
tual sums spent on war prepare
tions, the other sums being con-
tanned in the budgets of the minis
try of the interior, the ministry for
transport and the ministry of public
works. Pilsudski does not bother in
the least about the decisions of the
Sejm polish parliament). Last year
Pilsudski exceeded the amount al
lotted by the Sejm for military ex-
penditure by no less than 200 mil
lion Zloty which sum was taken
from the state income.
Military Armaments.
According to the budget proposal
which has already been published,
60 million Zloty are to be expended
upon arms and ammunition, a mil
lion Zloty upon poison gas, 90 mil
lion Zloty for the air force, 7 mil
lion Zloty for the purchase of
horses, II million Zloty for motor
cars, tanks and for the building of
wagon parks, etc., apart from an
other II million Zloty for warships
and submarines.
Naval Armaments.
The Polish government is working
with especial zeal to strengthen its
navy. In the year 1929 it or.
dered or paid for the following naval
units: two modern torpedo boat de-
stroyers, three submarines, two
transport vessels for war material,
one old French cruiser, which was
turned into training ship, and one
training ship. The building of the
naval harbor in Gdingen is being
conducted at speed which is almost
American. Not long ago member of
the Polish Sejm declared, eve are
prepared to go barefoot, but the
harbor in Gdingen must be complet-
ed" The French war-monger, Gen
eral Lerond, was recently elected
to the directorial board of the Dan
zig Shipbuilding Yard which is in
British, French and Polish hands.

ing all efforts to place the Polish
army on a war footing and to in
crease it's fighting value. At the
present time the number of officers
employed in the administrative bur-
eaus of the army, ETC., is being rap
idly reduced in order to use these
officers for front service. About SO
per cent of these officers have been
told off for duty in the barracks.
The War Industries.
Under Pilsudski's government new
factories for the production of war
materials are being built and al
ready existing factories reorganized
for the production of war materials,
the building of military planes, the
production of artificial silk, etc. Fac
tories already working for military
purposes like Ursus, Starachovitche,
Skoda, ETC., are receiving large sub
sides from the government in order
to increase their capital and extend
their production. In the course of
eight months of last year, the Bank
"Gospodarstvo Krayovego" raised
the long-term credits for factories
working for the production of war
materials by SO million. Zloty, the
short-term credits by IL million
Zloty and its own participation in
the shares of these undertakings by
Is million Zloty. In other words this
bank invested almost 100 million
Zloty during the course of eight
months in the war industries.
Formation of Lithuanian" and
"Ukrainian" Units.
At the instance of the Pilsudski
government the nucleus of six
"Ukrainian" divisions have been
formed under the command of Gen
erals Zezrucki, Salski and Osedy. In
case of war with the Soviet Union,
these divisions will fight for the
independence of the Ukraine" or
in other words for the transforma-
ton of the Soviet Ukraine into a
colony of Anglo-French capitalism.
Similarly, Lithuanian" units are
being organized by Pilsudski's agents
in Ida in West White Russia. With
the aid of Pilsudski these units will
attack Lithuania and give the cam
paign the character of an insurrec-
ton of the Lithuanian people against
the fascist dictatorship of Volde-
maras.

both sexes in Poland is steadily be-

"noLLAR DIPLOMACY" is we'll
y known term in Cuba. Before
the so-called Independence" Amer
lea had invested fifty million dol
lars in Cuba. Now, in the period of
independence" the amount has
been raised to one and one half bill
lion dollars. This is the work of
Dollar Diplomacy.
The United States made Cuba Gin
dependent" by the famous "Joint
Resolution" But the Platt Amend
ment establishes that sin order to
guarantee this independence" Dollar
Diplomacy attributes to itself "the
right of intervention to protect prop
erty." A few million dollars were
then distributed among "Liberators"
to avoid such a rebellion as occurred
in the Philippines after the American
occupation. Loans fell upor the
country from the Morgans, in order
to complete economic penetration.
Recently the special Envoy of
Dollar Diplomacy, Mr.. Crowder, con-
cocted the Election Law, through
which only political parties favor
able to the interests of American
imperialism can exist.
MachadO a Tool.
Now Dollar Terror has stepped in,
in earnest. The conquest of Cuba
by American imperialism did not
come without the protests of rebel
lious workers. Cubas politics had
consisted of a fight between those
elements, like Menocal, who were
frankly at the service of foreign
gold, and those on the other hand
who disguised this service with a
certain nationalist tendency, such as
Miguel Gomez and Mendieta. But
there arose the ghost of the work
crs' problem" The government has
found it necessary to introduce a

tunes of their professors under the
eyes of these soldiers, and the pro-
fessors take advantage of all OPP
portunities to flatter the dictator
ship.
Thousands Starving.
At present the rickety industrial
Cuban bourgeoisie, allied to Amer
lean Imperialism, which carry on the
Dollar Terror, together, thinks itself
safe in power because of its agree
ment with Wall Street capital. How
ever, there are thousands Of starv-
ing workers, there are producers of
sugar cane ruined by the American
sugar mills, and there are many in
tellectual workers. All these find
American imperialism their daily
and deadly enemy, and understand
that their only salvation is in de-
stroying its grip.
This task Of destroying American
imperialism's hold on Cuba has been
undertaken by the Cuban revolution
lists, and in order for them to sue
coed the American workers must CO.
operate. Only close alliance be-
tween the revolutionary forces of
Cuba with the workers of the United
States will be able to combat the
latest phase of Dollar Terror, in
Cuba, which is strictly aimed against
the working class. Some time ago
the port workers of New York pro-
claimed a boycott against Cuban
sugar if the prosecutions against the
Cuban workers were continued. This
alarmed the Cuban dictator. The
inultiplications of measures such as
this would prove of great benefit to
the working class movement of Cuba
and of all Latin America.

victims opposed the intense exploita-
ton to which they were subjected by
American imperialism and the Gu
ban politicians who are in the ser
vice of the Dollar Terror.
Another new proceeding consists
of throwing labor leaders into the
bay in Havana. Recently some
fishermen found a human arm in
the belly of shark caught near
Havana. The wife of Bruzon, the
militant labor leader, recognized the
arm as that of her husbands by the
cloth of the sleeve and the cuff
links still attached on the arm. The
daily newspapers, "Diario de la Ma
rina," organ of the Spanish colony
and of the Catholics, published the
photo of the gruesome discovery and
a judge started proceedings. But
President Machado limited himself
to issuing decree forbidding the
fishing of sharks without special
permission.
More than two hundred workers
have been assassinated. Many trade
unions have been dissolved. All the
opposition press has been suspended
and the editors of these daily papers
shot publicly. Others have been ex-
lied from Cuba. Strikers have mys-
teriously disappeared" The Uni

is the only case of it's kind in the

the atmosphere of terror imposed by

THE park of culture and rest has
been created by the proletarian
government. Its vast plain stretch
ing on the outskirts of Moscow pro-
duces an unforgettable impression
upon foreigner visiting the Red
City.
The park has been conceived ac-
cording to plan which will require
many years for it's final realiza-
ton; but even in it's present stage
of development it offers an aston
ishing result.
That which only five years ago
was an immense plot of land used
for garbage dumping has now be-
come, through the efforts of the
workers government, a city of
amusement, where everybody can
find healthy way to pass his
leisure hours.
Sports AccOmm Odations.
1t has been. arranged in such a
way as to offer the greatest oppor-
tunity for all forms of games,
swimming, and rowing. There are
numerous lawns for tennis and
football; tracks for running, walk
ing and bicycle riding; many gym
nastic accommodations such as
wooden horses, swings, ladders,
etc, scattered in different parts.
At the first glance at this inn
mense plain, one gets an impression
that this is the racraation hour in

strict dictatorship to put down the
workers protests. Machado, who
was a general during the indie
pendence, and who is a stakeholder
of the General Electric Company,
seemed to be the ideal man for
American interests. Machado de-
clared in speech in the university
when he was presented with an hon.
orary law degree, "Mussolini has
given an example to the whole
world" And so he got busy and
started tc put into practice in Cuba
Mussolini's example. That was an
announcement Of the institution of
Dollar Terror.
Here are the concrete results of
the Dollar Terror during the last
four years of Machado's govern
ment:
The death penalty was revived
and is being applied with the an
cient colonial instrument known as
the "garotte." 1t is chair where,
without the necessity of modern
electricity, a screw is introduced into
the back of the neck Of the guilty
one, who for long hour has to
stand the agonizing pain.
Many Murdered.
In order to introduce terror among
the field workers, many were Sc
cretly murdered. Bodies of these
illiterate workers are often found
hanging from trees with notes in
their pockets announcing various
reasons for their suicide" The
plantation workers know that the
reason for the murders is that the

story pavilions giving q marvellous
adjoining effect. There, as in, the
smaller buildings, nothing is impro-
vised or left to chance. One finds
everywhere ingenuity in color and
form, which shows the enormous
progress of Russian architecture
since the revolution. Clubs, res
taurants and libraries are situated
in this building. For the word "cul-
ture' is taken here in its widest
genealogical sense.
Besides the usual indoor sports
found in this pavilion, such as chess,
lotto, radio, ETC., there are vast read
ing rooms where many scientific
and literary books and publications
can be found to suit the taste Of
each visitor. Armchairs and couches
breathe Of cleanliness and order.
Wide porches, where one can rest
in full peace, open up into the gar
den. Amid the scattered plants,
little tables and armchairs under
the willows, one gets the impress
sion that this is a fashionable
Oriental resort, where only the rich
people can permit themselves the
luxury Of such comfort. But in the
U. S. s. r. it's the people Of fac
tories and fields who get the .bene-
fit Of these resting places.
Children's City.
The center Of the interest, how
ever, is perhaps in the children's
city, which is really the most cur
ious spot in the whole place. All
that is seen in the big park for
the amusement of the adults is
found here reduced to child's size
