ment as Equitable president, three months ago.
the New York Times commented:
"The selection of Mr. Adrich as president
OF the Equitable leaves no room for doubt
as to where the control of the bank lies Wall
Street needed little assurance in this con-
nection, as it has generally been assumed
Tor some time that the holding of John d.
Rockefeller and his son in the institution
represented the largest concentration of the
Equitable shares"
The same statement now applies to his
selection as president of the new Chase Ma
tional
Other Rockefeller directors of the bank COM
bine include Bertram Cutler, Rockefeller's per-
sonal representative on the board of MANY
concerns; Henry E. Cooper, formerly his per-
sonal representative; T. NJ. Debevoise, who act

For the workers in the United States, this
merger means further step in consolidating
the strongest financial interests against the
working class.

financial merger marks new stage in the
British-American conflict.

Giant Strides of Socialism in
U.S.S.R.

MOSCOW, March Qnprecorr mai)--In
an interview comrade Yakovlev, peoples COM
missar for agriculture discussed the most i'm
portant questions of the spring sowings. He
declared that up to the 1st March the seed
fund of the collective agricultural undertakings
totalled 80 million cwts, the plan thus having
been completely carried out. The seed for IS
million hectares was provided by the collec-
tive undertakings, or in other words for 67
per cent of the total under seed. At the
moment the collective agricultural undertakings
totalled 81 per cent of all peasant farms, and
by the spring they would probably embrace
total of 70 per cent The original plans pro-
vided for an increase of the spring sowings
by II per cent, but efforts were now being
made to sow an area representing an increase
of 10 per cent.
Referring to the question of the provision of
trained agricultural experts, Yakovlev declared
that 5000 experts had been mobiized in Mos
COW alone. 10000 young Communists and an
equal number of Red Army men were being
trained to carry out the reckoning work for
the collectives.

Whoever really desires victory in the fight

with all means the proletariat and the masses

lutionary forces and their mass actions Who
ever sabotages this organization exposes HIM
SELF like Ghandi, as a strategist of the counter
revolution. Ghandi has himself admitted in his
"ultimatum" that he could not wait any longer
because the revolutionary upsurge in India is
growing so threateningy. He fears the revo-
lution-hence his campaign. And behind him
stands the All-India National Congress, the
representative body of the national bourgeosie

body else. The attitude of the Indian Commu-
nists to them can only be: Determined fight
against the National Congress-
This does not exclude but presupposes the
utilization of even the sham fights of the m
dian bourgeoisie, the utilization of its narrow
ly restricted conflict with British imperialism
by the Communist Party for the purpose OF
mobilizing the broad toiling sections of the
population, and further developing the revo-
lutionary mass movement. But the more the
national bourgeoisie attempts to develop its
campaign with seeminly "general-national"
slogans the more ruthlessly must the Commu-
nists expose the counterrevoutionary class
character of the campaigns and slogans of the
national bOurgeosie. Only by maintaining
complete political independence and sharp
revolutionary class line can the Communist
Party successfully lead the Indian proletariat
on the way to securing its hegemony in the
national emancipation movement, and thereby
also secure the victory of the revolution.
The government of Great Britain-the La
Dor Government as the representative of the
lmperiaist bourgeoisie-is proceeding to ar
range, through its authorities in India. the
vilest provocations and bloodest mass slaugb-
tiers. The English Communists must in good
time make the broad working masses of Great
Britain aware of these criminal plans and sum-
mon them to determined, courageous support of
the Indian revolution.

miners to the pseudo -progressives is of special
significance. 1t is healthy sign of the en-
ormous potentialities of our movement and
influence that the National Miners Union
exercises. The Second National Convention to
be held in Pittsburgh in June symbolizes the
consolidation, unification and intrenchment of
the American coal miners in the fast growing
stream of revolutionary consciousness. The
Springfield and indianapolis conventions Of the
reactionary fascist gangsters, is the last breath
OF dying, rotting union, permeated with the
worst sort of corruption, opportunism and fas-
csmo par excellence. The Second Convention
of the National Miners Union, spells the pre-
parations for greater mass fighting battles,
for the cohesion of the miners forces, and for
the continuation of the fighting traditions of
the American coal miners.

"The daily rate of steel ingot production has

"A Twenty Per Cent Drop.
In short, while Hoover was talking his slop
about an improvement in 60 days, steel pro-
duction dropped 20 per cent, throwing thou
sands of steel workers out of their jobs.
Then Lamont, Wall Street banker, came to
the rescue. He said the drop in money rates
would better matters. Money rates dropped to
the lowest point since 1924. What happened
in this respect?
True, there was another orgy of specula-
tion on the stock market, which entails another
severe stock market crash. But the drop in
money rates did not stir the basic industries
from the ever-deepening crisis.

report in the New York Times (3-23-3O)
says the following on this point:
"Lower interest rates and improved credit
conditions have failed to stir business out of
its attitude of 'watchful wating,' according to
the March report of the Conference of Statisti-
clans of Indusry"
In their capitalist phraseoogy, the Confer
ence of Statisticians of Industry, which oper-
ates under the auspices of the National In
dustrial Conference Board, go on to point out
the complete failure of easier credits to in
fluence an upturn in the present crisis. They
say:
"The reluctance on the part of buyers and
borrowers to avail themselves of the easier
credit conditions evidently is due in part to
the influence which the unemployment situa-
tion has upon business psychology, as we'll as
upon consumer psychology and purchasing
power"
And on top of this, as if to smother the
Hoover lies under tremendous outpouring of
facts, we learn that bankruptcies business

creased to 515, as compared to 40S last year.
The number of the capitalist firms that went

The amounts involved jumped considerably
above last year as we'll as the past few
months.
March will show bigger increase in the
unemployed army than occurred in February
At the end of Hoover's magic sixty DAYS
there will be at least 100000 more workers in

cording to official figures just issued there
were 22,46S unemployed workers in Belgium
in January 1880, and 25,141 workers on short
time. These figures however, only conceal the
real extent of unemployment, because they refer
only to the minority of workers who are en-
titled to unemployment support. For instance,
there are from 10000 to $4,000 diamond d-cutters
alone who are unemployed, but not included in
the above figures as they are not in receipt
of unemployment support. In February un-
employment in Belgium increased considerably.
