GENERAL MOTORS
RECOGNIZES USSR
Vice Pres. Admits Five
Year Plan Is Winning

NEW YORK-Open recognition of
the success of the Five Year Plan of
industrial construction and socializa-
ton of agriculture in the Soviet
Union was accorded by James D.
Mooney, vice-p president of the Cen
eral Motors Corporation, in speech
over WEAF and NBC radio chain
Mooney repeated statements made
in Paris last October, that the econ
omic thinking Of the Russian govern
ment as exhibited in its planning
and acting is difficult to find flaws
in"
THE fact is that Russia is in
position to furnish some things we
need, and which she is in better
position to give us than we are able
to supply ourselves. On the other
hand, we have many things which
she needs, and which we are in the
best position to supply. Obviously
then, the situation is solved to the
best effect when we set up with
Russia to trade in these things
There is no danger for us in this,
provided it is intelIigently handled.
On the other hand, there is a great
benefit to be derived"
Forced to Deal.
Mooney is talking in the interests
of his company, forced by capitalist
crisis to deal with the Soviet Union
no matter if it does build up a sys-
tenn which will stand as challenge
to capitalism and inspire workers in
all countries to do likewise.
Under the circumstances he has
to admit the truth of the socialist
Yictories being won on the indus
crial front in the U. S. S. r., and
seeks to fool himself and his audi
! tors with the idea that great So
oialzed construction in Russia VIII

In his own company Mooney prsc-
tees the most ruthless speed-up,
lays off men recklessly whenever
they can be spared and plans wage
