the workers. 1t has been introduced not in
order to eliminate the weak or the clumsy, but
in order to improve the productivity of strong
and weak, of skillful and clumsy in accordance
with their respective capabilities. This mea-
sure is socialist necessity because the fur
ther reduction of working hours depends on
the increase of the productivity of the work
ers. The further Improvement in the stand
ards Of living of the Russian toilers depends
upon their increased output of labor. Under
capitalism any increased output means in
creased profits for the boss and increased I'M
employment and general economic insecurity
for the workers. Under the Soviet system in
creased output means improvement of the eco
nomic security of the workers; it means short
er hours and higher standard of living for
all toilers of city and country.
The establishment of the seven-hour day
(six hours for dangerous and unhealthy work.
and the four day work week by the Soviet
Union is a powerful deterrent to the efforts of
the capitalists the world over to increase.
working hours.
1t is this fact that causes the universal CAPT
talist attack against the Soviet government
No matter how loud the capitalists protest
their love for the workers in their anti-Soviet
propaganda, their acts against their own work
ers at home pronounce them demagogues and
hypocrites.
The uninterrupted improvement of the liv-
ing standards of the toiling masses of the So
Wet Union is a powerful warning to the CAPT
! talists to go slow in their ever active efforts
to worsen the living standards of the Amer
lean workers. It is this fact which forces the
American capitalists to pose in their anti
Soviet campaign in the impossible role of
! friends of labor. But their anti-workers' deeds
speak a more truthful and a more convincing
| language than their pro-workers' phrases.
Every capitalist act against the American
workers is an accusation against the anti
Soviet propaganda of American capital. This
accusation thunders. into the faces of these
propagandists the interchangeable truth: "YOu
are liars
The Soviet Union with its progress in the
building of socialism is tower of strength of
! the working masses everywhere. The anti
Soviet propaganda of the capitalists tries to
persuade the workers to tear down this for
tress. The anti-Soviet propaganda of the
American capitalists is holy war myth. With
this myth the capitalists hope to blind the
workers. They hope to blind them so that
| they will be willing to destroy their own
stronghold, the Soviet Union The capitalists
hope to confuse the workers sufficiently so
they will accomplish their desires: to make
out of Russia capitalist prison not only for
the toilers of Russia but for the workers of
the world.
That hope is IN vain. No matter how loud
the lies Of American capitalist propaganda de-
nand of the workers: Destroy the Soviet
Union" the successes of socialist construction
carried through by the Soviets speak still
louder. And their language says: DO as we
did-defeat the political rule of the capitalists
Establish workers rule Destroy capitalism!
Build socialism,
