Door Nav Be Closed

Until the second f1ve-year plan
~ is approved officially, every
manufacturer has chance to show
his wares and sell them if he can
Acceptance of goods, however, forms
part of the plan.
In other words, the Soviet will
have decided just what kind of ma
chinery and equipment will be used
before the plan is approved. After
that the door will be closed, except
to those who have succeeded in
making a trade.
This does not mean that all the
goods required will have been or
dered, but that standards will have
been fixed and specifications written.
we lost a lot by not taking advan-
tage of the first five-year plan when
it was in process of formulation, and
we shall lose even more if we adopt
a similar attitude toward this one.
Where is the craftsmanship, the
hustle and push, the Yankee acquisi-
tiveness, which are supposed to be
our outstanding characteristics?
Where is the government policy by
which private enterprise should be
helped and encouraged to take adj
vantage of such opportunity?

Sun Is largest

THAT list looks like a large one,
i particularly when it leaps to
millions and then to billions upon
billions"
But let us study the size Of the
objects involved, remembering also
the size of our hat boX-93, 900, 600
miles high and almost 4,000, 000,00
miles in diameter. rf'
The largest object is the sun-and
there is, of course, only one in the
solar system. 1t has diameter of
1854 100 miles. -"
The planets are all very much
smaller than the sun. Jupiter, the
largest of the planets, has a diane 70
ter of 86,720 miles, about one-tenth p
that of the sun. sol
Saturn is almost the size of
Jupiter. Neptune and Uranus COM
pare somewhat favorsbly in size. All .
the other planets are very much.
smaller.
The earth has a diameter of 1920
miles. 1t is about one-eleventh the
diameter of Jupiter and about
llOth the diameter OF the sun. -
But we must think in terms of .
volume rather than diameter to get
the whole picture. 1t would take
100000 spheres the size of the
earth to equal the volume of the sun.
Venus is a little smaller than the
earth: Mars, Pluto, and Mercury are
very much smaller.
When we turn from the planets to
the satellites, we are dealing with
yet smaller objects. Our own moon
has diameter of 2,160 miles. A few
of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn
are as large or slightly larger. >e
But most satellites in the solar
system are smaller Mars, for ex-.
ample, has two moons, one of which
is ten miles in diameter, while the
other is ony five miles in diameter.

Russia Is Going Ahead

WHATEVER one may think of
w Soviet Russia politically, it is
a going concern industrially- going
much better than most other coun-
tries. It's people are not only en-
thusiastic over modern improve
ments, but are ready to make sac
rifices and, submit to rigid discipline
to get them.
Russia will build more railroads,
construct more factories, surface
more highways, erect more houses,
and string more wires during the
next decade than any other coun-
try on earth, with the possible ex-
ception of our own.
That is an item of business which
ought to be receiving our best
thought, especially since the second
f1ve-year plan is about to be
adopted.

SHOOT DOWN 3
Mine STRIKERS
Trooper Tears Baby
from Mothers Arms,
Dashes 1t On Ground

SCRANTON, Pa, August IL
Three strikers we're shot and wound
ed Tuesday morning by state troop
ers at Eynon, Pa, near one of the
collieries owned by the Pan-Anthra-
cite Coal Co.
A strike is now going on there
The shooting followed a battle of the
strikers and their families with the
state troopers and deputies. The po-
lice tried to break the mass picket
line by force, and the strikers defend
ed themselves with stones.
One state trooper grabbed a baby
out of the arms of one of the women
pickets and threw it on the ground.
Another trooper then rode his horse
over the same woman.
Immediately after the shooting,
the sheriff of Lackawanna County
issued a proclamation forbidding any
gathering of three or more persons.
The miners at Eynon have been
unemployed for many months. In
order to start up with worse working
conditions, the colliery opened with
new men at a greatly reduced wage.
The former workers then threw their
picket line around the place.
The strikers have voted to continue
mass picketing.

MONARCHIST PLOT
In SPAIN ENDED
Workers D e m a n d
Death for the Royalists

MADRID, Aug. 11.-General Jose
Saniurjo, leader of the monarch
list revolt which broke out in Spain
was arrested today after he aban-
doned Seville.
The monarchist revolt which broke
out wednesday in Madrid, Spain, was
quelled yesterday after a fierce battle
according to dispatch from thcSpan-
ish capital.
General Jose Sanjurjo, leader of
the revolt which succeeded in over
throwing the provincial government
of Seville is reported to have aban-
doned Seville. He is believed to be
en- route to Portugal with mo chance
of being captured"
Several other leaders of the revolt
we're arrested in Madrid including
General Jordana, who was High
Commissioner of Morocco under the
royslist dictator Primo De Rivera.
Workers Fight M0harcllists
Workers in Madrid and throughout
Spain expressed their anger at the
monarchists who staged the revolt.
They went down in the streets de-
manding death for the tyrants.' In
some cities as in Granada, workers
manifested their protest against the
weak attitude of the government to-
ward the leaders of the revolt. They
broke into arms shops, seized guns
and returned the fire on Count
Guadalana, a monarchist, who from
his house shot on the civilians out
side.
The government announced that
the leaders of the revolt will be court
nlartialed and shot.
General Strike in Seville
The workers of Seville declared a
general strike against the monarchist
revolt.
The monarchist leaders staged two
more reyolts since the overthrow Of
the age-old Spanish monarchy head
ed by King Alfonso. One revolt oc-
cured last year and one in February
of this year.
Whereas the rcpublican-socialist
government of Spain arrested, per-
secuted and deported many Commu-
nists and workers who led the strug-
gle for the further development Of
Spanish Revolution, monarchist lead
ers who never ceased to plot for the
restoration of the monarchy we're
treated more leniently.

stitution Hall before an audience of

Hoover's Optimism will undoubt-
eddy be based on the inflated reports
of factories here and there taking on
a handful of workers which has been
so eagerly played up III the capital
list press during the past few weeks.
Earlier in the day the president,
who in his speech will tell the
100000 unemployed to remain
hopeful, entertained 500 Republican
Party chiefs at an elaborate lunch
con on the White House lawn.
Administration newspapers in adj
vance publicity for the acceptance
speech pointed to the "calmer at
mosphere" now prevailing in Wash
ington. CLOSING over the murder
Gus attack upon the veterans by
Hoovers order, the New York Even
ing Post declared complacently: 1.-THE

Tries to Break Cloak Strike

Edward McGrady, of the A. F. of

militant struggle, has now been sent
to save" the cloakmakers.
According to the announcement of
the Forward. McGrady was ap-
pointed to organize the cloakmakers
of Brooklyn. Since the fake stop
page, several hundred workers who
were stopped off in the Brooklyn
shops are out on strike while the
bosses have filled their shops with
strikebreakers. The demand of the
cloakmakers of Brooklyn that some
action be taken to stop tn escab work

ing. Therefore McGrady has been
appointed not to fight the bosses but
to try to crush the revolt of the
cloakmakers.
However, McGrady is expected to
meet with the same reception from
the cloakmakers as he received from
the furriers. The cloakmakers are
beginning to realize now that the In
ternational clique can only lead them
to destruction. They are rallying
around the left wing movement
which is calling on the workers to
organize in the shops and strike for
union conditions. .--~---rT :,

Troops
(See editorial on Page ~


A British armed and inspir-
ed Tibetan army is marching
On Soviet Mongolia for a joint
attack with the Japanese
against the emancipated work
ers and peasants of that coun-
try. The movement is part of
the drive of world imperialism
for armed intervention against
the Soviet Union.
The Tibetan army has penetrated
through northern Kansuh Province,
b northeastern China, and has en-
Tered western Inner Mongolia where
1t has already occupied the important
strategic city of Paotowchen, close
10 the military road between Urga,
he capital of Soviet Mongolia, and
Sweihuaching, in northern Shansi.
It's advance is aided by the Marking
puppets of the imperialists who have
offered no resistance to its march
through kuomintang China.
At the same time, the japanese are
rushing their concentration of troops
IN northwestern Manchuria for an
Invasion of Soviet Mongolia. The
movement is aimed to extend the
Japanese military base in Manchuria
against the Soviet Union, to further
complete the ring of steel around the
Soviet Union and to set up a barrier
between the Soviet Union and the
rising Soviet Power in China.
The invasion of China by the Til
oetan forces was begun several weeks
ago, as part of the new fifth Com
munist Suppression" campaign joint
ly organized by the United States and
British imperialists and the Nank-
Ing running dogs of imperialism. The
plans for this campaign called for
a huge offensive by the Marking
troops against the Chinese soviet
Districts. This offensive has prac-
bically collapsed under the hammer
blows of the Chinese Red Army,
which. two days ago won smashing
victory in Hupeh Province, defeating
the main Marking army in fierce
battle which ragged for ten days over
a 2oO-nlile front. The Marking army
Is in retreat with the Red Army in
hot pursuit
AS a result of this victory and the
accompanying revolutionary upsurge
of the masses in the big cities, Nank-
ing government bonds have slumped
