FUNDS FOR FOREST
| PROTECTION URGED
Body Headed by Forestry
!. Group, President Confers
With Hyde.

Adequate forest protection appropri-
ations in 1892 would make the large
emergency sums, amounting to $780,
600, voted by the present Congress un-
necessary. George D. Pratt, president Of
5 the American Forestry Association has
Informed Secretary of Agriculture Hyde,
according to a statement issued by the
! association yesterday. With group
representing forestry, lumber and farm
organizations Mr.. Pratt met with Secre-
. tary Hyde recently to discuss forestry
appropriations.
For the year beginning July 1, 1881.
Mr.. Pratt urged, appropriations for the
various phases of forest protection con-
Quoted by the Department of Agricul-
ture should approximate $9000,000.
THE machinery of the Federal Govern
ment and of the several states is now
in a position to use this amount of
money efficiently" he added.
The need of this amount is shown
dramatically in last years fire record,
according to Mr.. Pratt. who points out
that the fires Of 1929 exceeded those of
1928 in area burned and in the value of
timber consumed. The area exceeded
, that of the previous year by two-and-
one-haf million acres and the economic
loss by $4,000 900, bringing the total
estimate of damage to more than $780,
000, 900.
The amount named, said Mr.. Pratt
would provide small increase for funds
to be used in preventing and suppress
ing fires on national forests. 1t would
bring the fund for protection improve
ments of national forests equal to those
authorized in the Englebright bill. which
received the approval Of the Bureau of
the Budget although 1t has not yet
been favorably acted upon by Congress
It would increase by $400, 900 the funds
available to the State foresters and
would leave only 100000 between the
actual appropriation and the authorize
ton as carried in the Clarke-McNary
Law.

tions who conferred with the Secretary
Of Agriculture on forestry appropria-
tions included George D. Pratt. presi-

tons, which show alertness Of Soviet workers
and give clear picture of the real lnterna
tiouaization Of the Soviet such en-
thusiasm, such fighters cannot be crushed by
anyone, irrespective of opponents strength,
for here is the new, powerful world, which
strongly and proudly is daily helping to de-

Courage and Enthusiasm.
When | finished answering questions and
one of the other comrades began to speak
| noticed a woman of about 40 years-a fight
ing type--the new Soviet woman came on the
stage. She sat down near me, told me she
was sorry she could not hear me, because she
just came back from meeting Of a co-opera
tive where the reelection of a store commit
tee took place. This woman, who only few
years ago wore a veil, feared to show herself
in the street. so that strange men may look
upon her, today is an active participant in
the building up of socialism.
When one comes face to face with these
Arzebaighan and Turkish women who were
kept in ignorance and illiteracy during czarist
times, then, only, it becomes clear that the
freedom of the working-class woman cannot
be accomplished without the freedom of the
working class as whole The meeting fin
ished, mixed with the crowd dozens of ques-
tons, suggestions, etc. Such meetings just
fill one with courage and enthusiasm, and
have feeling that want to shout from the
housetops to the American workers about
what's going on here.
The problem confronting the Baku workers
in the fulfillment of the Five Year Plan in
two and a half years will be solved by them
as undertaken. The enthusiasm of the masses
can be raised to such level only by the leader
ship of real Bolshevik Party like B. K P
(b) is. For US Communists from capitalist
countries such evenings help to fight more en-
ergetically for winning over of the majority
of the masses for the Proletarian Revolution

IN the past winter the 9Th corps of the
Chinese Red Army, which operated under
the command of Pen De Huai in West Kiangsi,
conducted partisan fights in the SOUTHEAST of
Hupeh.
Who would have thought, after seeing the
modest division of 800 men equipped with only
240 rifles making their way forward through
the desolate mountains of the frontier districts
of Kiangsi and Hupeh that in about six
months this little group would grow into a
force sufficient to create terror in the imper-
ialist camp and, after the capture of Yochow,
would call forth the impudent intervention of
the English and American fleets.
But the wonderful achievements Of the 18th
division represent no exception; they are char
acteristic of many other divisions and troops
which in few months have developed into
whole corps
If one becomes acquainted with the history
of the growth, with the revolutionary fighting
capacity and the everyday life of the military
divisions, which grew into eight corps, then
one is acquainted, so TO speak, with the his
tory of the young heroic Rel Army of China.
1t is now possible to become acquainted with
this history, as number of extremely inter-
esting reports regarding it have been pub
lished in the Chinese Communist Press.
We shall not burden the reader by enumer-
ating all the difficult names of localities, viii
lagos and districts in which the 9Th division
had to operate when it first commenced activi-
ties in Hupeh This division, which numbered
only few soldiers and suffered from a great
shortage of arms and munitions, was able at
that time to avoid encounters with more or
less larger bodies of regular troops. It's fight
ing activity was confined to disarming mill

Comrade Stains Concluding Speech at the XVI Party
Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

Czechs. l opposed this theory, for it is an

of our country, after the victory of Socialism,

as may be seen from my report at the Six

that a theory advocating the merging of all

one uniform Great Russian nation with uni

chauvinist, anti-Leninist theory, contradicting
the fundamental theses of Leninism, which

What is unclear here, and what requires
special explanation? Obviously the writer's of
this question are not quite clear on two points.
First of all, they are not clear on the fact that
we in the Soviet Union have entered on the
period of Socialism, and vet, although we have
entered on this period, we can by no means
record that the nations are dying out among
us-on the contrary, they developing and
flourishing. Have we actually entered on the
period of Socialism? AS a rule our period is

EVEN though the Party and the League has
improved its factory work considerably we
must still recognize the fact that we must
correct our factory work or lag behind the
mood of struggle of the masses. We have
many examples of how the workers are be-
coming more and more militant, but are even
asking the Party to step in and help them or
ganize in their particular factory.
First of all, we must learn that when we
send committee down to the factory to hold
gate meeting this committee must mingle
with the crowd of workers. A good example
is the Kayser factory in Brooklyn, where the
comrades would come to the factory and group
themselves around the box and the speaker.
For weeks, this continued, and, of course, we
never got considerable contacts, information,
etc. At the first meeting that this occurred
the comrades were spoken to by the workers
and told them what they thought about
ganzaton. We got information about their
conditions and at the same time found a
strong sentiment for organization (this in
spite of the great persecution and rat sys-
tenn that they have there).
Workers Willing to Fight.
Secondly, the comrades must learn that in
spite of attacks, "cat-calling," the throwing
of rotten tomatoes, water, etc, by the bosses

for their conditions, are in sympathy with us
and will organize into the revolutionary trade
unions and the Communist Party. We must
the significance of these attacks. The West
inghouse, the Kayser, the Jacobs, etc. These
three furnish good examples.
At the Kayser, we found that for a couple
of meetings bags of water were thrown from
the windows upon the speakers. At one time
the stool-pigeon got it in the neck, causing
great deal of laughter among the workers.)
Our comrades felt very discouraged after the
first few times, but, today, because of our
consistent work and regular appearance at the
factory gate meetings, the workers are en-
