What the Moscow Trial Reveals

their senses. Instead of an increase from 1900
million roubles to 1900 million roubles they went
right up to 5000 million roubles, or nearly 95
per cent in one year.
Here is the table:
First year 1929 planned estimate in million
roubles 1858; actual result, 1879; second year.
1929-30 planned estimate, 1881 millions; and
actual results 3,267 millions.
If we take large scale industry production fig
ures they show equally astonishing increases
While in the case of heavy industry the Five
Year Plan arduous and difficult of achievement
though this is thought to be, is actually within
measurable distance of fulfillment within the
space of three years!
They had set themselves the task of increasing
production and the means of production the
basic industries of the country by no less than
one quarter increase each year. They we're going
to have an increase of three qquarters in three
years. But actually they had an increase of
more than double in that period
Similarly, light industry is increasing by leaps
and bounds, and will achieve its Five Year aim
in four years.
Faced with these tremendous unprecedented
figures, the proof of the superiority of planned
Socialist construction over capitalist production
leaves the bourgeois press with nothing but to
initiate the flat denial of Poincare.
They deny that there is Five-Year Plan in
operation. They deny it is being fulfilled They
deny that the results of the Russian workers
is drive forward, far exceeding the highest fig
ures of the plan These wild and desperate lies
of the bourgeoisie are the measure of their dread
of the effect of the plans and the effect of their
success within the capitalist countries where the
workers are seeing Socialism built up before their
eyes, and realizing that for this end they must
follow the same road as the Russian workers
have trod
Small wonder that the bourgeoisie, faced by
the success of the Five-Year Plan and Keeling
under the blows of a world economic crisis,
should put forward every effort to crush the
forces of revolution. Hence their suppression of
the colonial revolutions in all countries of the
East, and in Africa, and South America. Hence
their drive against the working class by means
of naturalization, speed-up wage cuts etc. Hence
their brutality towards millions of unemployed
Hence their concentration on the Socialist
fatherland, stronghold Of the world revolution

the workers are building up Socialism through

velation of the plan makes it more necessity
for them to strike quickly.
Who can paralyze the efforts of the bourgeosie
to crush the revolution?
The masses alone can prevent new world war,
new imperialist world war against the Soviet
Union.
Already increased revolutionary activity of the
masses compelled the conspirators to postpone
the launching of war for one year. But that
activity must be increased tenfold to be effective
now.
The working class of Britain, America, France,
Germany and every other country, within the

Action on the widest scale, the utmost energy

workers.
