RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY AMERICAN
WORKERS AND SPECIALISTS IN THE
STALINGRAD TRACTOR PLANT.

1.-THE conspiracies of the sabotagers Of the In
dlstrial Party and the organized sabotage and
attempts to stop the economic development of
the Soviet Union was carried on with the knowl-
edge of the foreign countries and particularly of
the leading circles of France. This destructive
policy was to serve as a prelude to armed in
tervention and overthrow of the Soviet Govern
ment which would be signal for new World
War.
The Soviet Union showed the entire world that
in spite Of numerous provocatons an ever
greater arrning on the part of the imperialist
powers, the policies of the Soviet Union remained
policies of peace. All the recent activities of the
wfeckers, the cry against dumping" and also
the articles of Poincare calling to intervention
and blockade, are continuation of the same
abominable policy Of intervention. We the work.
ers. must look upon the sabotagers of the In
dustrial Party and the attack of the imperialsts
on the Soviet Union as an attempt to retard
the growth of the Soviet Union. This obliges us
to do everything possible to stop the intervention
plans and to help carry out the Five Year Plan.

Wherefore Art
Thou, Esthonia?

There are a lot of laundering smart peoplo
in San Francisco, but they are not to be found
in the capitalist courts the capitalist news
papers.
How do we know it? Well, somebody sent us
some clippings from two different local papers,
neglecting as usual to write on them just what
papers they were clipped from or what date. But
the case is clear none the less: they are from
two San Francisco papers,
1t seems that three men and one woman were
arrested at 1885 Cough street, and were trying
to explain matters in court. One of them,
Martin Koffer, struck pose and declared that
the pinch was due to Communist enemies"
though the cops had it down as disturbing the
peace" after midnight. Koffer also protested:
"The police treated me as though I were but
common person."
And to prove he wasn't common at ALL he pro
duced document and declared:-'I am, and for
seven years have been the consul-general for
Esthonia, no less!"
The judge was impressed, but as judges run to
knowledge of nothing much in particular, he
was forced to inquire :-"And where is Esthonia?"
Now that was funny enough, wasn't it? But
both these capitalist newspapers of San Fran
cisco, giving joyous account of the joke on the
judge, improved matters greatly. For, them
selves being as ignorant as the judge, one began
the story thus:
'The dignity of Esthonia was upheld yester-
day, and today Municipal Judge George w. Schon
field knows more about the Balkan states"
Which is queer, but was matched by the other
paper which said:
after Koffer had explained that Esthonia b
a republic in the Balkans, Judge Schonfeld dis
missed the charges"
Maybe the Communist enemies" of Koffer
hava no ofI but
the last we saw of it, it was a long way from
the Balkans

My, What a Row!
By JORGE

Mr.. Lucas says that what he did to Mr.. Norris
was absolutely o, K, but that it is malicious
statement to charge Hoover with doing it.
Mr.. Wood says that when he came out Of
Hoover's front door and, standing on Herbies
doorstep, declared that Norris was a demagogue.
he was merely stating the truth, but that it is
a lowdown trick to say that Hoover would tell
the truth under any circumstances. We always
suspected as much.
Mr.. Norris is undoubtedly demagogue, as are
a number of other Farm Bloc" representatives
who pretend to represent the farmers" in the
abstract when in fact they represent finance
capitals alliance with the rich farmers as against
the mass of middle farmers and poor farmers
and the whole of the wage working class.
Sometimes they play at opposition" to get
more for the rich farmers than finance capital
wants to give, but they go along with big capital
generally, as witness their approval of the basic
principle of Farm Board credit and "co-opera-
tive policy, all of which merely drives the middle
and poor farming masses deeper into the mire.
But this demagogue Norris none the less,
spilled some interesting beans the other day. We
cannot share his enthusiasm at being Republic
can but in Dragging about that he got off the
following delightful comment about Mr.. Hoover,
who, it seems, "in spite of all temptation to be-
long to other nations remains an Englishman."
Literally Norris said:
Il was fighting for the Republican party and
its upbuilding and publication when Mr..
Hoover himself was a resident and a voter of
Great Britain"
1t is clear that the qualification" of the Re-
publican party is job that takes whole life
time, in fact we think it can't be done. But
Norris goes on to say some more about Hoover:
HE is likely to become Democrat most any
day." surely awful fate) When he came
to this country from Great Britain he became
a Democrat and at secured political
Office. He remained Democrat until he se-
cured a public office under a Republican
administration, and then became a Republi-
can"
Mr. Hoover, we gather, seems to be for sails

RISING WAGES AND THE FIVE
YEAR PLAN
VIII.
BY G. T. GRINKO.

Peoples Commissar of Finance, U.S.S.R.
The most important statistical indicator of the
socialist nature of the industrialization of the
national economy and the naturalization of in
dustry, as they are now taking place in the
U. S. S. R., is the trend Of real wages. Great
class struggles are taking place at present in
capitalist countries on the question of the wage
level. Strikes of great masses of European,
American and colonial workers and huge lock-
outs by employers mark this incessant struggle.
In many advanced modern capitalist countries,
average wages at the present time are at a lower
level than before the war. This cannot be con-
cealed by all the ingenuity of the social denoc-
racy and reformist trade union leaders. It is
also impossible to get away from the fact that
for the past five years wages in capitalist coun-
tries have been practically stable They in
creased in the United States only by or
per cent, while in England they dropped o.3 per
cent between 1922 and 1927, and in France they
have suffered an even more substantial reduc-
ton.
An entirely different trend is shown by wages
in the U. S. S. r. The level Of real wages Of
Soviet workers was raised 1876 per cent from
1922-1923 to 1927-1928; i. e., it was two and one
quarter times as high at the end of the five
year period at its beginning. being also 30 per
cent above the pre-war level. There is no dis
putting the fact that the level of wages Of the
Soviet worker is still quite low and still cannot
fully satisfy his growing wants. But the ten
dency shown by the movement OF wages in the
U. S. S. R. is radically different from what is
taking place in capitalist countries and it clearly
shows the genuine socialist nature Of the Soviet
economic development

II. S. WORKERS WILL FIGHT
ANTI-SOVIET WAR PLOTS
STATEMENT BY WILLIAM wErNsToNE.

uTHE imperialists work without rest preparing
to destroy the Soviet Union. The Conlmu-
nists pointed that out continually, but the eS-
posure of the sabotagers compelS us to come TO
the conclusion that intervention is close at hand
and that we cannot afford to lose any time. The
capitalist class does not intend to delay the
carving out Of its plans. The working class
must understand the true meaning Of these
plans The imperialists wish to crush the
Proletarian Revolution, murder millions Of rev.
dictionary workers, establish military dictator
ship and divide the Soviet Union into separate
regions for colonial exploitation. If after the
World War, an unheard of reaction developed
in the capitalist, world, it is easy then to i'm
agine what would happen in case of the destruc-
ton of the Proletarian Revolution
The American bourgeoisie does not remain
neutral with regards to the murderous plans of
intervention The real meaning of Hoover's
speech delivered at the anniversary of the adop-
ton of the Kellogg Pact is clear. Let us re-
call that in the opinion of the capitalist states
men, it is necessary to 'broaden out" the Kellogg
Pact because it proved to be entirely impotent
at the time of the event in connection with the
seizure of the Manchurian railway,
The capitalist press attempts to prepare public
opinion for an attack on the Soviet Union The
Fish Committee tries to broaden out the anti
Soviet Union front in the United States. The
American working class is rising in answer
against these plans. Big meetings are being Or
ganized to acquaint the broad masses of all the
details about the conspiracy of the sabotagers
Big protest demonstrations are being arranged
The American working class, which already on
numerous occasions expressed its feelings of sol-
darity with respect to the proletariat in the
Soviet Union, will be able, under the leadership
of the Communist Party to mobilize all of its
forces to destroy the plans of intervention and
war against the Soviet Union"
