MORE SCHOOLS
OPEN IN U.S.S.R,
Extend Plans For Child
Education

MOSCOW (IPS).-The Central
Executive Committee of the Soviet
Union has decided to introduce gen.
eral compulsory schooling for all
children from 8 to 10 years inclusive
in the year 1930-31. In the year
1882 the schooling will then be
extended to all children of II years
of age. Special local difficulties
will be taken into consideration, but
in no case may the term for the
introduction of compulsory school
ing be later than a year or two
behind the main districts.
In the year 1930-31 start will
also be made with children from
II to Is years who have not visited
the elementary schools. These chill
dren will be given two year courses
In the same year course of seven
year schooling will be introduced
in the industrial districts for all
children who have concluded the ele-
mentary training.
Large sums have been put for
ward by the government and the
proletarian mass organizations, the
labor unions, the cooperatives, the
collectives, etc., will be drawn into
the work. The economic organs of
the Soviet Union are instructed to
provide sums for the building of
schools and for the provision of
education in all their financial and
building plans. Industrial districts,
districts where a solid collectiviza.
ton has been carried out and cul-
turally backward districts are to be
especially attended to.
The training possibilities of the
variouss pedagogical institutes are
to be considerably extended in order
to provide the necessary teachers,
and the material situation of the
village school teachers is to be inn
proved. The Young Communist Lea
que must place 10000 of it's men,
bers at the disposal of the govern
ment for this work during the
course of the next three years. Poor
pupils are to be assisted with free
books, papers, pens, etc., and if
necessary with food, clothing and
leather. Free tramway and railway
tickets will also be provided where
necessary.

BERLIN (IPS).-Commenting on
the new political formation entitled
the German State Party" the
Communist Rote Fahne writes:
"The exchange jobbers celebrate
the birth of the new party together
with its new leader the fascist NAH
raun. Democrats, bankers, the rep
resentatives of the I. G. Farben
Trust, a few Hirsch-Dunker and
Christian trade union leaders, the
owners of the "Koelnische Zeitung,"
and the master of the fascist Young
German Order Mahraun are hand in
hand in the new formation.
"The picture of these old political
jobbers founding a party of youth
may be funny, but the background
of the new formation is more seri-
Gus. The old discredited bourgeois
parties are carrying out new ma
neuvers to deceive their disappoint-
ed supporters and to win the votes
of the hundreds of thousands of
young electors.
"Under the dictatorship of para
graph 48, the leaders of the former
Democratic Party jettispn the word
Democratic" as no longer in ac-
cordance with the Zeitgeist. "Dem-
ocracy" has become old-fashioned.
The formation of this new party is
flaming sign of the rapid pro-
gress of bourgeois democracy to
fascist dictatorship"

treaty between Turkey and Persia
providing for just such an emer-
gency, the British imperialists have
engineered a refusal.
Want Turkish Oil.
The object of the British imper-
ialist government. is to drive a
wedge between Turkey and Persia,
extending its oil fields closer to the
Soviet Union.
Writing in the Inprecorr, No. So,
V. Chattopadhaya, writing on 'Iraq
as Britain's base against the Soviet
Union," declares:
SIN the meantime, it is neces-
sary to follow closely the in
trigues of the British Government
among the Kurds who are being
financed and armed to revolt
against the Turks, the Persians
and the Iraqs and to constitute
buffer state between these couu-
tries which shall be completely
under British control and form a
new military base for British i'm
perialist wars"
Macdonald has already taken the
first steps for actual war. Under
the slogan Of "no independence for
India" he advances the British i'm
perialist's wishes in India, and
under the hypocritical slogan of
independence for the Kurds," he
instigates war on Turkey, with the
next move war against the Soviet
Union.
In every imperialist move, Ram
say MacDo~"'1 is supported by the
yellow Second International, and its
American t,ction, the social-fascist
socialist party.

Another United Press dispatch
from Berlin quotes the Wossische

The British threat against Tur-
key, and MacDonald's "desire" to
establish an imperialist puppet,
buffer state between Turkey and
Persia brings them closer to Soviet
territory.
The military airplane stations es-
tablished in Iraq are a direct threat
to the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics, and the present move of
Ramsay Macdonald is a step to-
ward war against the Soviet Union
as well as against Turkey.
The Usual Lies.
A cable to the New York Times
aug. 49, shows how rapidly RAM
say Macdonald is preparing for
war against the Soviet Union. The
cable, dated at London, states:
Connection is seen between Rus
sian-fomented trouble in Kurdistan
and the disturbances in the north
west frontier of India. For some
time, says the Express, it has been
known in official circles that the
Russian Government has been busy
in Kurdistan trying to revive the
trouble which the Turks once man.
aged to quell." This is an outright
lie, perpetrated by Macdonald to
cover up his instigation of war
against the Soviet Union.
At the same time the British tool
in Iraq, General Jafar Pasha ell
Skari, few days ago, addressing
the Kurds at Kirkuk, was loudly
denying the fact that it was the
deliberate policy of the British gov
eminent to encourage Kurdish ma
tionalism to the embarrassment not
only of the Iraq Government but
also of their friendly neighbors

took the pains to deny this was that

Iraq.
