Socialism and Red PutilOv

industry in the Soviet Union demands the de-
velopment of new proletarian cadres The old
specialists are very unreliable and the technical
intelligentsia is ever ready to sabotage. The
Five-Year Plan demands that the technical
stats as well as skilled workers must be in
creased four times, with the new technicians
being drawn from the working class.
"Red Putilov" will need 1000 such workers
next year. How will this be accomplished?
The Labor Bureau cannot supply them, 1t
means that these new cadres will have to come
from the factory itself. At the present time
there are 319 youths training in the factory
school, while 600 more have enrolled: all are
children of workers. Besides these there are
evening courses in the factory technical schools
ETC., to raise the qualification of workers. A
new school to accommodate 1000 workers is be-
ing built.
The agricultural question also concerns the
workers of cred Putilov." By their practical
activity these workers have given a decisive
answer to the right wing vacillators. The
workers have the patronage" of large ag-
ricultural area comprising $4,000 people; rs
per cent of the peasants in this territory are
involved in collective farming "Red Putilov'
sent IS workers into this territory to work in
the collectives. A delegation of 10 workers sent
by the factory recently, reported back that in
the very near future the entire district will
be collectivized. This is real picture of the
''smytchka' in action. Over 1000 workers of
"Red Putilov" actively participated to strength
en- the "smytchka," carry on the class war
against the kulaks, and socalze agriculture.
Communist Party Leads.
The Communist Party is the driving force
and leader of all this economic, political, and
social life. There are SO departmental nuclei
in ''Red Putilov," with around 5000 Party
members. The Y.C.L. has 2,246 members, or
"a per cent of all youth in the factory.
There are many difficulties that these work
ers have to overcome. Side by side with the
new machinery and technique can still be seen
remnants of the old. Waste is still great
factor sometimes the tempo of production is
held back by delay in getting raw materials,
etc. The building Of socialism is proceeding
entirely with their own resources, without the
help of credit from the capitalist world.
The workers understand the difficulties and
are more determined in their march to final
triumph under the leadership of the Party
The workers of "Red Putov' are very much
interested in the life of the workers in the U.
S. They want to know about struggles,
our Party, ETC. We can express our interna-
tional solidarity with them by also engaging in
socialist competition with them. We can pledge
to the workers of the Soviet Union increased
activity in the class struggle build more shop
nuclei, increase the membership of our Party,
build the Daily Worker, etc. while the workers
of "Red Putilov" and other factories in the
Soviet Union build socialism,. Some shop
nuclei in the big capitalist plants in the U. ST.,
like the International Harvester, General Elec-
trio, U. S. Steel, should urge the workers to
accept this challenge and carry on regular
communication with the workers of "Red Pu-
tilov" and send materials describing our prob
lens for their newspapers and wallpapers. The
workers of "Red Putilov" have newspaper OF
their own, published several times week, be-
sides hundreds of wallpapers.
