Showing Official Approval

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--What is
behind the Butler court martial in
connection with the marine major
generals ATTACK" on Mussolini is
now being amply demonstrated by
the array of forces that are lining up
on Buffers side. Butler is under
arrest" and will be court-martialed
Feb. 16 for making speech in Phila-
delphia charging Mussolini with being
a war dog" and with having
run over little girl without even
stopping to trouble himself about it.
The Daily Worker showed the
pressure of Wall Street behind But
ler's speech. 1t was part of the
process to force Mussolini to change
his line more in conformity with the
leading imperialist powers, without
the sweetening of loans demanded by
the fascist chief. Buffers court
martial is stage play for diplomatic
reasons. But what Butler said had
full Official approval. 1t was a fore
taste of what Wall Street would do If
Mussolini did not come around.
The court-martial itself will just
be an emphasis of the charges
against Mussolini. In this pressure,

5>Year Plan in 3 First Step to
Catch Up, Outstrib Capitalism
To Reach Unheard of
Rate Of Growth,
Says Stain
Gable BY Inprecorrl

MOSCOW. - Addressing a confer
ence of Soviet Industrial leaders, Sta
lin discussed the preliminary condi-
tons necessary to carry out the 1881
development plans. Stain stated that
the 1881 program provided for an in
crease in production of forty-five per
cent as compared with 1880.
The success for the years plans
would mean the fulfillment of the
Five-Year Plan, not in four years,
but in three years, in the most i'm
portant branches Of industry, Stain
declared. This is possible because no
other power enjoys such support of
the masses as the Soviet government.
Formerly the workers were without
a fatherland, but today the Soviet
Union is the fatherland of the work
ers of the world, which they are pre-
pared to defend.
Russia is fifty to one hundred years
behind the highly industrialized west,
but this leeway must be overcome
within ten years.
AS compared with the pre-war pc
riod, industrial production has doub-
led whilst agricultural production is
the largest In the world, but much
more could have been accomplished if
greater efforts had been made to

Thousands Of Children Starving in
Kentucky; Babies Denied Even Milk

NEW YORK. - Further admission
OF widespread starvation and misery
among the farm population Of the
Southwest is contained in press
despatch from Wendover, KY, pub
lished in yesterdays New York Post
under the heading:
Hunger Stalks Rural Kentucky"
The despatch reports that of
number Of families visited in an
area Of 700 square miles during
January, lag were without food.
Many were suffering from pelIa-
gra. The despatch estimates that
34.43 per cent Of the farm popula-
ton in this area are without food
this month, and that by July the
number will be at least 6S per cent.
It is clear, therefore, that even on
the basis Of capitalist surveys and es-
Inmates, q very large proportion OF
the farm population Of Kentucky are
today starving. This Is true OF the

the most accurate figures on un-
employment have consistently been
published in the Daily Worker. The
figures of the capitalist government,
and most of the state departments
OF labor have been fitted into the
optimism" campaign of the bosses,
purposely designed to keep back the
facts so that the workers would not
be spurred to sharper battles.
There are over 100000 unemploy-
ed. and the number is growing at
the rate of about 100000 month.
There are millions on part time, bare
ly eeking out few dollars weekly.
Even the admission of 100000 I'M
employed shows the tremendous mis-
cry OF the workers. Every new es-
innate, such as the Metropolitan Life

statement of Francis Perkins indi-
Gates the situation is groking worse

Mass Protest Saturday
A PM, Larkin Plaza

YONKERS, N. Y, Feb s. After
promising" to allow demonstration
of unemployed workers to take place
at Larkin Plaza, Saturday afternoon
at 4 p M, Chief of Police Edward
Quirk announced today that if dem
onstration was attempted it would be
smashed and the unemployed beaten
up and Jailed.
When Milton WEIGH, leader of the
Unemployed Council and Attorney
Klain after conference with Com
missioner of Public Safety Devlin,
and Mayor Foggerty, announced that
the unemployed would demonstrate
against the fake relief proposals of
the mayors committee, Devlin in
timated that the demonstration
would not be interfered with. After
realizing that thousands of workers
we're being modified, and that the
fact that the robbery of over $4,000
of the relief fund by the mayors
committee would be exposed, they
came out with their brutal threats.
AS an alternative, Quirl, sid, they
could use the City Pier, which is an
out-of-the-way place. They do not
want the protests and demands Of
the workers to be made public. The
present procedure follows up the tao
tics of smuggling and falling mem-
ployed workers at other demonstra-
tons.
However, the unemployed council
has announced It will go ahead with
the meeting. 1t calls on the workers,
employed and unemployed to turn
