CHARTAGE, one of the most pop
y ular vacation homes for Russia's
workers, is located on the site of a
former summer resort of wealthy
capitalists. Those who get the ad
vantage now of Shartage's broad
lakes, pine forests and we'll
equipped living quarters are for the
most part metal and railway work
ers from the city of Sverdlovsk,
steel workers from several towns
round about and agricultural work
ers of the district out on their an
nual vacations.
A Russian worker, particularly
if he is of the younger generation,
is sometimes surprised to hear that
the enormous majority of workers
in capitalist countries get no vaca-
lions. The Russian worker takes
regular paid vacations very much
as a matter of course.
The older Russian workers are
not at all amazed at the thought of
working men and women in CAPT
talist countries going on month
after month and year after year
without vacations-eXcept for the
frequent unpaid vacations" of I'M
employment periods. They know
that that is characteristic of capt.
talism. They can remember the
conditions in old capitalist Russia,
when it used to be just like that.
Rest Homes For Soviet Workers.
Shartage is typical of the sum-
mer homes that are springing up
like mushrooms all over the Soviet
Union. The Five-Year Plan-which
is a plan not only for the develop
ment of industry and agriculture,
but also for the steady improvement
in the conditions of the workers IN
every phase of their lives calls
for such an increase in rest-home
facilities as will accommodate all
applicants. For the present, how
ever, there is room for only a GER
tain proportion of all the workers.
How, then, are the workers selected
for the vacation homes?
In a capitalist country summer
resorts have fee. If you happen
to have the fee--and the vacation
you get there. Otherwise, no one
worries about you.
Things work out differently in
the country of proletarian dictator
ship. By Soviet law, every worker
is entitled to two weeks to one
month of vacation, with full pay.
The workers who get month are
the young workers and those en-
gagged in heavier work, such as steel.
Workers Can Travel, Too.
Many of the workers travel dur
ing these vacations; railway and
steamship tickets at greatly reduced
prices make it possible for anyone
to travel if he wishes. But within
the last few years there have been
increasing demands for places in
summer rest homes. And if you are
a worker at a type of labor calling
for harder work, or at one of the
less healthy trades, or if you are
somewhat rundown, you have first
claim on places in the vacation
homes of the Soviet Union. The
trade union committee of the fac
tory-and in the Soviet Union the
trade unions are open to all work
ers, and the enormous majority of
the workers are organized-will see
to it that you get your place. After
such workers are taken care of,
others are taken in as far as the
places go.
Residents at these vacation homes
get not only their wages for the
two weeks or the month that they
are away from the factory; they
get also their fare to the rest
home, and all expenses paid, not

BY STANLEY DeGRAFF
I HAVE about lost my patience with
: those Negro comrades, who are
willing to organize with the white
workers to fight on the battlefront
Of the class struggle and yet object
to being called Negroes. Some of
them consider it an insult and ask
to be called Ethicans, race men, and
other nicknames, and require that a
lot of time be spent in arguments
and explanations that could be bet
ter devoted to more serious matters.
This is merely following blindly the
tactics of "strivers" and Negro mis-
leaders who are ashamed of their
race because they envy the white
masters and hope to better their in
dividual fortunes by apeing the
white capitalists, and live in luxury
through exploiting their brethren
for personal gain. Negro workers!
Don't be ashamed of your color! It's
not your fault that your race is en-
shaved, degraded, Disseminated
against; that is the crime of the
master class; organize with the
working class as whole, to do away
with this rotten system of persecu-
ton and slavery.
l often wish I could be Negro
myself, so that I could stand up in
a meeting and say, "You bet I'm a
Negro! I'm proud of the fact that
I belong to the race whose strong
backs built the pyramids; which had
the courage to oppose the British
rifles with home made weapons and
defeat them time and again, in de-
Tending their homeland against the
invaders; who kill lions, which their
white masters fear SO much, in hand
to hand combats; the race which
defeated the military forces Of
France and England in freeing
Haiti, the only successful unaided
slave rebellion in history; which
fought the slave owners of the South
so bravely in uprisings led by Nat
Turner and other Negro fighters:
the race which is going to awake
from its present lethargy and, join
ing with the white workers, lead the
fight for the freedom of the human

Children of the New Day

A Written Version of the Russian
Movie for American Working
Class Children
(Tbis movie, based on true
story of chiIdren'S life in the So

. Of Young Pioneers and other boys
and girls in the Soviet Union
The leading role aoas taken By an
( eight-year-old girl, Fatima Gil
/ ya=oUa).
Buy! Buy! Please buy my
! candy? Oh, who will buy my
candy?" little Fatima, standing on
one of Leningrad's great thorough
fares, called again and again! But
no one came toward her to purchase
any of her wares, even though she
held the gaily wrapped sweets out
invitnigly so all could see. No one
noticed Fatima's tiny figure stand
ing in the shadows cast by the huge
building-a building which had once
been the palace of Nicholas II, czar
of all Russia, but now that the work
ers and peasants had taken control,
was a public museum.
Fatima was hidden from view OF
one side by towering columns, and
on the other by a great marble lion.
Her shrill voice was drowned in the
noise of the city's traffic at its
bushes hour of the day. Street

lating among themselves.
Stranded.
For a moment Fatima forgot to
call, as she watched with bright eyes
the crowds of workers surge by.
High over head the clouds flew past,
while just beyond the thoroughfare
the river Neva flowed on its way to
the Baltic Sea. Something ached
in Fatima's breast, though she
didn't know what. The throngs
coursing by were like mighty
river, moving onward, onward
vigorous, in good spirits, and
headed for some great goal. Fatima
longed to run out and join them, to
become a part of this powerful
current.
Sometimes Fatima ran along the
edge of the Neva, picking up twigs
and sticks that lay on the shore.
She was like one of these small
twigs, stranded. The great current
of life, sweeping on to its destina-
ton had so far passed her by.
1t was too bad that no Commu-
mist worker happened to spy little
Fatima with her wares, as our story
would have reached a happy ending
then and there, or soon afterwards.

If it were Herbert Hoover, and
not his father, whose first occupa-
-tion was that of blacksmith, what
"a perfect title biographer of "our"
president would have for the ask
ing: Herbert Hoover, or from Black
smith TO Blackguard.
Hoover a Thief, Says BOrah.
Most workers know far too little
of the extremely interesting career
of ''their" president. How he man

example-granting even the corrup-
ton of capitalist class-justice- is
mystery. He has been called a
thief, quite openly, by Senator
Borah, who surely ought to know the
difference between "honest" graft
and open banditry. Hoover's great
fortune, reputed to be well over
S25,000,000. is allegedly built upon
the sale of fake railroad stock in
England. And, upon that comfort
able foundation, he added a super
structure of graft collected while
he was in charge of the sale of the
governments surplus war material
after the war.
Refuses Bread to Starving Workers.
Hoover has also committed crimes
no capitalist court would ever con-
Wet him of. After the war, while
he was in charge of European food
relief, he refused to distribute food
to starving workers whom he sus-
pected of being tainted" with Com
munism. And then there IS the
little matter of permitting the
American food trust to sell any
quality of foodstuffs at any price
it demanded, while he was a $1-a-
year food administrator during the
war.
Hoover, by dint of an extraordi-
:narily costly publicity campaign,
has gradually earned the reputation
of being a "great engineer" al
though no one has ever been able
. to point out a single notable engi-
: neering feat to his credit. Just how
. much this huilaballoo about Hoo
ver's engineering ability has en-
abled him to hide the death rattle
of American capitalism, has been
repeatedly pointed out in the Daily
. Worker.
Hoover Inspired Wage-Cuts.
His conference, called ostensibly
to maintain production and wages,
actually resulted in an immediate
closing down of hundreds of fac
q tories and the most drastic wage
. cuts in Americas history. His
81 ,000,000,000 construction program
petered out so that actually the
government has spent less than
one-third for new buildings so far
this year.
. Hoover's building program was a
deliberate fraud, conceived to mis-
. lead the masses. About a week
after the Daily Worker published
/. figures proving that the enormous"
building program existed only in
/. Hoover's imagination, a democratic
congressman accused Hoover of
spending less on public building this
year than the government spent
last year. Hoover, thus caught with
his pants down, decided to talk about
other and pleasanter things. Our
stationary engineering president is
full of plans, if not of real ideas.
And when one bright morning he
announced that government ex-
penses would have to be cut $780,
100000, thousands of belly-crawling
little government functionaries be-
gan to experience cold chills, and
an equal number of newspaper edi-
torials again thanked their capital

LABOR SPORTS

Baseball season is drawing to a
close. The neck-and-neck finnish
is being performed. Will the Giants
finish under the wire or will Mr..
Chewing Gum Wrigley's Cubs come
out ahead? This is the question
that the capitalist sport writer's are
trying to agitate the workers with.
We were confident of the Giants
couple of weeks ago, but if they
drop any more games we're going
to transfer our confidence. AS far
as the American League is con-
cerned, the Philadelphia Athletics
have it in the bag. Mr.. McGilli-
cuddy's smart outfit will have the
pennant floating from the flagpole
this year. Much good this will do

last few years of his young life in

few good thousand every year and
has been eating stuff that sticks to
his ribs. Funny thing about that
name-Hack. People don't remem-

RICE MILL LEASED
IN YAQUI VALLEY
BY BIG CONCERN

Rosenberg Brothers Of San Fran
cisco, one Of the largest importing
and exporting houses in the West
who own and control rice mills on
the Pacific coast, have taken a lease
on the Richardson rice, mill at Ca
jeme, and will operate extensively
in the Yaqui River Valley. l..
They have already exported to
Mexico several carloads of Amer
ican Edith rice seed in order to
bring up the quality of the Mexican
Edith and any surplus rice grown
in the Yaqui this year will probably
be nilled and handled by them for
export to Canada and Europe.
It is believed the entry of Rosen-
berg into the field will stabilize
prices of Mexican rice and result
in high returns to the growers,
According to preliminary estim-
ates there will be about 10000 acres
planted in rice this year in the
YaGui Valley, as against $4,000 last
year. Planting takes place in July
and August for the harvest in No
