Workers of America! 1t is thir-
teen years today, since the workers
and peasants of old CZarist Russia
seized power and established their
own government, the Soviet Govern
ment of Workers and Peasants. Led
by the Bolsheviks, the Communist
Party, they overthrow the capitalist
government of Kerensky, whom the
British and French imperialists.

under Woodrow Wilson, had put into
power to continue the imperialiSt
World War.
Peace, Bread and Land!" These
were the demands of the Russian
workers and poor farmers. And the
only way they could get these de-
mands was to make a revolution, to
overthrow the rule of capitalism.
Workers of America! You have
been told a million times since Nov.
It'll, 1917, that the Soviet Govern
ment was falling" But it stands
today, the strongest government in
all the world, because it has given
to the masses, to the working class
and poor farmers exactly what they
demanded-"Peace, bread, and land.
The Soviet Government does this
because it is the workers own gov
eminent, because the working class
is the ruling class, rely interested
and working for the good of all who
toll. Because it ruthlessly wipes out
the boss class who live from the
sweat and misery of the masses.

10 Years OF Soviet Rulel
A Victory of the Workers!
Only Revolution Brought Peace, Bread, Land!
Only Workers Rule Improved Workers Lives!
A Lesson for Workers Here!
Defense of the Soviet Union Is Your Defense
Against Boss Attacks on y. S. Workers!

Here, In capitalist America, where
the government acts as the watch
dog of the bosses, 100000 workers
are iobless and millions are starv-
ing! Here where the capitalist class
rules, the capitalist government itself
admits that wages have been cut 25.8
per cent since 1926! Here, in the last
year alone, the American working
class has lost over $8,00000o,00o from
its income! Here, in capitalist
America, the income Of the farmers
has fallen 10 per cent in just this
last year!
In short, here in capitalist ruled
America, industry is hating and mil
lions are starving-but the big capt.
talists continue to live in luxury.
There, in the Soviet Union, indus
trial production is growing at 30 and
more per cent per year, the toiling
masses have bread, shelter, and Sc
curity-because they have no big
capitalist class to rule and rob them.
Workers of America! This is the
reason your bosses, the boss papers,
lie about the Soviet Union. They
fear you will learn to do what the
Russian workers have done. The
American capitalists want to make
war on the Soviet Union, to destroy
this great living example Of working
class government!
Workers of America! War against
the Soviet Union is war against
you and your class!
Learn this great lesson, workers
Learn that only by overthrowing
capitalism, by following the guidance
of the Communist Party, can unem-
ployment, misery, war and starvation
be abolished!
This is the lesson to bear in mind
on this day, the thirteenth anniver-
sary of the Soviet Government, and
every day hereafter! ! Hail to the
Soviet Union! Away with capitalism
starvation, war and misery!

Litvtnov Scores Fake tDisdrm'
Talk of Imberialists at Geneva
Puts Forward Two Proposals of Immediate or
Partial Disarmament; Chairman Tries
to Stop Blasting Exposure
Gable by Imprecorr)

GENEVA, Nov. 6.-The Preparatory
Disarmament Commission opened Its
sessions this morning under the
Craftsmanship Of Loudon. Loudon
declared 1--WE must get used to the
refrain Of mentioning disarmament,
the only task Of the commission is to
agree to measures to limit the ar1na-
ment race" After the declaration OF
Berndsdorf of Germany, Litvinov. OF
the Soviet Union, spoke.
He said 1t is impossible to consider
the present session as a mere con-
tinuation of the last session; too
much has happened in the meantime.
Two years ago the Soviet warning
of the war danger was regarded as
scare. Today prominent newspapers
and capitalist politicians admit the
situation is precarious even COM
pared to the period preceding the
last World War.
The problem of 100000 people in
the national minorities has troubled
the world. 1t is further impossible to
ignore the fact that the war mongers
have increased influence on the gov
errments of many countries. Since
1926 the war budget of We of the big
gest capitalist states increased ST.
500,0o0,0O0.
| He attacked the thesis Of the "se-
! curity apostles" who state that Sc
curity is the first necessity and then
disarmament may be possible. He
declared that this thesis was diamet-
rically opposed to disarmament,
While demanding a high degree OF
security and financial support, ETC.,
some countries were preparing war
against their neighbors.
The Soviet Union, Litvinov stated,
considered the war danger indis-
solubly connected with capitalism but
believed it possible TO minimize the
danger by real disarmament, and
therefore presented two proposals
one of complete disarmament, and an
alternative of partial disarmament
The proposals have been rejected
The Soviet delegation proposed to
delete the expression Limitation OF
ornaments" and substitute "linita-
ton and reduction of ornaments
as well as proposed the reconsi6era-
ton of the problem of trained re-
serves, also the war supplies prob
lem. A reconsideration of the whole
problem, they stated, would give new
members an opportunity to fit action
in the commission to speeches out.
side. A negative decision would cause
the Soviet Union to lose interest in q
majority of the points on the agenda
Loudon attempted to interrupt Lit
vinov declaring the speech wouldn
be translated. Loudon's provocative
attitude. caused excitement in thu
