"TheSoviet Planned Economic
Order''

and the reader can easily see how
the farm question, sore spot to al
capitalist nations since they came
into being is passing out Of the pic
ture in the Soviet Union.
On the whole the book Is good
And mainly because the author sticks
TO facts and does not give too much
OF his own opinions. Although Cham
berlin tries to be "fair' by showing
the other side of the picture, any
intelligent worker will immediately
see that the faults mentioned such
as shortages Of manufactured goods
and certain foods. and the failure
Of the quality of the goods produced
to keep up the rapid pace set by
the amount produced are the result
Of the Plans concentration on heavy
industry and that the next two years
in which the attention OF the gov
eminent viii be turned to producing
articles like shoes and clothing
things which the pre-revolutionary
worker rarely got, will solve these
problems.
1t is worth noting that while the
1913 production Of shoes in Russia
was five and a half million pair,
last year 6z.s million pair were pro-
duced in the Soviet Union So great
~ has the standard Of living risen
there that despite this huge growth
in production the shortage remains.
And so with all other goods. Only
a few days ago 1t was announced
that the Soviet Government was con-
centrating on huge state farms for
the breeding Of cattle. Within the
next two years these farms win have
solved the food problem
Mr. Charnberlin says that the rest
Of the world should adopt some Of
the features of the planned economy.
Like all those who have come forth
with "plans" for capitalism, he does
not realize that the reason why plan
ned economy can be introduced In
the USSR is because capitalism has
been destroyed. Capitalism Is by its
very nature, planless, and any at
tempt to plan this system are only
fascist schemes to save the system
from collapse. Planned" Italy is
the answer.
Not many years ago Herbert Hoo
yer declared that there could not be
any economic progress in the Soviet
Union because private property had
been abolished and therefore the
country was doomed. Today the So
Wet Union has on its immediate or
der Of business ito overtake and out
strip" the leading capitalist countries
and Herbert Hoover is leading the
kingdom Of private property in its
convulsive efforts to keep alive.
Irony2 mol The difference between
planned socialist economy ard "in-
dividua1istic" capitalist economy.

Nose books dealing with the So
V5es Onion have been issued in the
last eight or nine months than Of

Gently most Of these books on the
U5SR were inclined to laugh at the
workers attempt to run their gov
errnae1t or to show the utter i'm
possibility Of this new system But
suddenly something happened.
The Soviet Government adopted a
huge plan which was to change the
greatest agricultural nation in the
world to g. leading industrial country
without all the misery that the other
Industrial nations have. So ambitious
65d these plans seem that the en-
er1tes Of al shades raised q huge
g1traw at the insanity Of the Red
s1venturers. The dying gasp" the
~iast stand" were some Of the terms
used TO describe the Five-Year Plan
for characterization.
Two and q half years later the
Agg&es have changed to amazement

Cps OF the latest books to deal

vast Planned Economic Order" The
Moscow correspondent Of the Christ

Caanber1in has collected great deal
Of statistics on the results of the first
Two years Of the plan. Besides these
statistics the book contains many
interesting documents issued by the

ey.oos means such as shock brigades,
Socialist competition, etc. which the
Russian workers have originated in
order to build the foundation Of So
cialisrn
Although the book was published
In June the statistics on the results
Of the plan are out of date. The
srzAsngrad tractor works which are
mentioned as far behind the sched-
ule are already m line with the called
for amount. And the so per cent
ccaecttvtzation which was expected
at the end OF 1881 was surpassed in
the early part Of May.

Solidarity Day Versus
Labor Day

coal operators IS only the beginning
OF the downfall Of the labor bureau
cracy of the A F. of L. unions.
American workers who can see
clearly the betrayal Of the leadership
Of the A. F. of L. are becoming more
and more militant and are deter
mined to fight against the class COL
liberation Of the betraying officials.
and to build a fighting union in
every industry to protect themselves
against starvation.
Labor Day, which was inaugurated
in order to switch the workers from
the revolutionary May Day, must be
turned into a day of solidarity with
the striking miners. On this day the
workers of New York City will show
their determination to fight and not
to starve.
The Workers International Relief,
which was organized to help the
workers in their struggles and to give
relief to the striking workers on the
basis OF solidarity, has arranged
festival and mass demonstration at
Starlight Amusement Park, Sept. 7,
Labor Day.. All trade unions, work
ers' organizations, and the morgan
lied as we'll, are urged to participate
in this demonstration. and to raise
their voices in the protest against the
betrayals of the workers by the lead
ership of the A. F. of L.
Our slogan on that day will be
Solidarity with the striking miners
and textile workers" Solidarity. in
the demands for the release of the
nine Negro boys in Scottsboro," "SoI-
darity in the fight for unemploy-
ment insurance" Solidarity in the
fight for Negro equality and self
determination, Solidarity in the de-
tense of the Soviet Union" Soil
darity will win the miners strike.
Solidarity will ultimately put an end
to wage slavery.

BY l. LUDWIG.

Ten million workers walk the
streets in the industrial centers in
the United States. More than mil
Ion workers are idle in New York
City alone. On Labor Day the capt.
talists will provide Mr.. Green and Mr..
Vol, and the other A. F. Of L. off
Gals, with z radio net work which
is denied to every real working class
organization. They will proclaim
peace and class collaboration between
the workers and their exploiters and
will talk big words against wage
cuts, in spite Of the fact that they
have done nothing to prevent the
slashing Of workers wages to the
starvation point On the contrary,
this leadership works hand in hand
with the bosses and the capitalist
government against unemployment
Insurance and relief.
On Labor Day the Greens and the
VOLS will agitate for war against the
workers repubIc-the Soviet Union.
But what effect will this have upon
the workers? Certainly these high
salaried officials cannot claim that
they represent the workers. Under
their leadership the claimed men,
bership Of the A. F. Of L. has sI7runk
more than million between 1920
and 193o-actually more than two
million. IN 1881 the membership IS
owindling faster than ever.
The voice Of Vol and Green is
not the voice Of the rank and file
members. For the workers are de-
ternlired TO fight against starvation
and wage cuts and to struggle for
unemployment insurance. Witness
the heroic fight of the 10000 miners
under the militant leadership of the
National Miners Union! The battle
Of the miners against starvation, and
against the combined forces of the
United Mine Workers officials and

/ The Girl: OF course, here.
Lady Aston: Well, where do you fee
happier?
Lady Aston: But why?
The Girl: 1t is better life her,
than there.
Lady Aston: How old were vo,
when you left America?
The Girl: I was ten.
Lady Aston: Then how can VOL
Judge where life is better and where
it is worse. What do you know Of
America, since you were only II
when you left it.
The Girl: I remember perfectly
well how it was there.
In the large bakery of the Com
mune, Lady Aston came across with
the working woman Pelippenko, who
had lived a long time in Australia
After few leading up questions
Lady Astor plunged again into the
subject which interests her most.
Lady Aston: I suppose after Aus
tralia you do not find this very nice?
Pelippenko: I live here much bet
ter than there.
Lady Aston: But how is that?
Pelippenko: I feel here much
treer. I have always work, and nv
labor is appreciated. I have three
children who are educated at the ex-
pense OF the state for any speciality
they care to choose. 7 would not
have enough means for this kind OF
thing in Australia.
Lady Aston: But you are living
under worse conditions?
Pelippenko: No, live better here
Lady Aston: Did you have a sep
arate room in Australia?
Pelippenko: Yes.
Lady Aston: And here?
Pelippenko: Here 7 live with five
other people in one room.
Lady Aston: Good God! And vet
you think that it is better here?
Pelippenko: Certainly.
However, Lady Astor couldn't get
over 1t. She turned excitedly to Shaw
VINO had just come in, and told him
about Pelppenko living in one room
with five other people. "It depends
on the room, remarked Shaw. We
inspected the room. When Shaw
entered this large room with manv
windows, he said turning towards
Lady Astor: In England fifteen
workers live in such a room"
In the repairing shop Lady Astor
talked with the American worker,
Comrade Barr. Lady Astor asked him
about the conditions of labor in the
Commune and wanted to know if

Bernard Shaw spoke the truth in
England about the USSR. Lady As
tor spoke the untruth in England
about the USSR. Bernard Shaw
came to the UssR in order to
strengthen by facts his assertion
about the victories of socialism. Lady
Astor tried very hard to find "atro-
cities" in the Soviet country, about
which she spoke with such authority
in England. From Bernard Shaw's
own words we know that he is fully
satisfied with his trip. We do not
know what Lady Aston will say about
the USSR. However, we are COM
PEELED to say that she was cruelty
disappointed; there were no atroci-
ties.
Despite the fears and predictions
Of Lady Astor's farseeing friends in
England, Lady Aston was not killed,
neither was she starved to death and
robbed She was given every oppor-
turity to faniiharize herself with the
various sides of the life of the Soviet
country at her own choice, and was
not even Ooh, Bolshevik atrocitiesD
prevented from propagating capital
istic, Christian and spiritualistic ideas
for which she stands.
In the Lenin Commune of the
Kirsanov District, and in the sur
rounding villages, Lady Aston held
several informal talks with "the OPP
pressed population Of the Soviet
Union" and as these informal talks
are OF interest not only to Lady As
tor, we will take the liberty of re-
producing briefly their tenor. After
the inspection of the model cow-shed
of the Commune, Lady Aston who
let her companions go on, held her
first informal talk with the dairy
maid, Maria Kardash, We'll" -
said the Lady-"hfe is hard?"-"Oh,
no, we don't complain, everything is
alright in our Commune
Lady Aston: I want to know what
your own life is like, and not the
life OF the Commune.
Maria: But if everything is al
right in the Commune, this means
that everything is alright for me and
all the others, for aren't we all Com
munards?
Lady Astor: This is not true. You
are made to believe it, if person
does not look after himself or her
self, he or she will not achieve any,
thing.
Maria: Well, when we looked only
after ourselves, our life was not up
to much, but when we came into
the Commune where we live collec-
lively, it was quite another matter.
