ovet Dumping Or How Wall St Prepares War On the USSR

Wet imports of lumber and pulp-wood are in
finitesimal in comparison with the total i'm
ports of these necessities in the United States
Slightly over / per cent?. 1t is clear that
there is no Soviet dumping of lumber from the
point of view of quantity; there is certainly
no dumping from the point of view of price;
neither is there any dumping from the point
of view of quality The only dumping notice
able is that of anti-Soviet poison thrown upon
the market in enormous quantities, in mis-
cradle quality and for price less even than
the asking
Coal is another item on the list of the anti.
Soviet bumpers. For some years the masses
of coal miners in the United States are living
under the most precarious conditions. They
have been sold out by the leaders of the
United Mine Workers Union; they are being
replaced by machines; their wages have been
sashed; they are unemployed five days out
of seven; and as a result hundreds of thou
sands of coal diggers in the United States are
on the verge of starvation. But only recently
the cause of this terrible calamity has been
discovered: Soviet dumping. Let us see. The
import of Soviet coal in America amounts to
a small fraction of per cent of the coal mined
In the United States. The Soviet coal imported
in America has not replaced American-mined
coal but has crowded out some import of Bri-
fish coal. Soviet coal fetches 81 ton more
than either British or American coal. Again
we find that not a single American worker is
replaced by Soviet coal imports; there is no
dumping in quality, no dumping in quality
and most certainly no dumping in price. There
is no American job threatened On the con-
trary jobs seem to have been created-the
jobs of the anti-Soviet poison bumpers.
The most frightful of all of the manifesto
tions of Soviet dumping have been discovered
by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
These danes were not yet born when the
American bourgeoisie fought its revolution
against British rule. Otherwise they would
have proven their bitter hatred against revo-
luton by denouncing their forebears to the
| (British) authorities. Having been born into
the goth Century-With quite a few remnants
left over from the 19th-the zeal of these
ladies led them on the trail of Soviet candy
dumping. The stomachs of American candy
consumers are being contaminated by red
candy. Of every 1888 worth of candy sold
in America, one cents worth is imported from
the Soviet Union. Just imagine the calamity
This Red candy is bound to play havoc with
American institutions. The Daughters of the
American Revolution carefully guard these in
stitutions Anyone who protests against the
good American institution of sending the chill
dren into the factories to have them robbed of
their childhood for the glory and profit of
American capitalists is sure to be denounced
by these daughters Of revolution as a
damnabe and criminal revolutionist.
While the Soviet Union dumped in the
United States in 1880, "a million dollars worth
of goods, the United States by efficient sales
manship unloaded 784 million dollars worth Of
American produced goods in Great Britain.
During the same period the United States sold
to the Soviet Union 1877 million dollars worth
of goods, All of these American exports to
the Soviet Union were finished manufactured
goods. Their production gave work to tens of
thousands of workers. American Soviet trade
provided American workers with jobs and not
robbed them of them.
All this, however, means nothing to the
anti-Soviet propaganda. American capital
wants its anti-Soviet war. For this purpose it
must have its holy war myth. The Soviet
