The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-01-09

IUHAT is taking place in Soviet Russia: The
" Soviet Union, at the present time is not an
experiment in Communism" It is the build
ing up of Socialism under the dictatorship Of
the working class The workers and peasants
of the Soviet Union are building up the new
system under the Five Year Plan, based upon
planned economy. Production takes place in or
der to cover the needs and wants of the workers
and peasants therefore it is possible to plan
production allocatiug funds, forces, etc. to that
which is needed. This is not possible under the
system OF capttalsnl-and for that reason the
capitalist economists and statesmen, from Hoover
TO Babson. who talk about planning, face an
iron vail and therefore the system they stand
fer is doomed Planlessness is chaos, which
leads to overurcducton, to rivalry for markets,
and consequently to war. Only the establish
rnent OF Soviet governments the world over can
put an end TO capitalist anarchy, to misery and
suffering for the workers and farmers and to
var, Only The Soviet Governnent-and world
vide Sortot Union can ard will bring peace to
the world
What is the situation today? Only d few
days ago, the International Labor Bureau an
nounced that there is no unemployment i'll the
Soviet Union, whereas in the capitalist coun-
tries there are 1O0OOo,ooO people without income
or means of existence. This number is under
stated, and yet it indicates one thing-that while
the capitalist world is in the economic crisis
and sinking ever deeper into it, only one coun-
try, representing 100000 people and one
sixth of the globe, is going forward with ire
nendous speed.
The papers also announced report Of the
German Economic Research Institute that,
whereas in 1928, the Soviet Union produced
$50 Of the world output, occupying 5th place
1881, passing Germany and England. In Au-
gust 1881 the Soviet Union stood in the second
place, with 114q6 of the world production, Sec
ond only to the United States This shows that
in the midst of the world cataclysnl, only the
Soviet Union is marching forward. Whereas in
the capitalist countries the annual increase of
production is between and 1917, in the Soviet
Union production Is increasing at the rate of 20
to $50 per year. This is unparalleled in the
history of the woodland is due to the planned
economy the enthusiasm of the workers and
peasants and the leadership of the Communist
Party in building Socialism
Soviet Dumping" Nonsense
The Soviet Union is not disconnected from the
rest of the world. On the contrary, it is con-
nected by diplomatic and trade relations Be
fore the war, during the time of the Cars, the
foreign trade of Russia was 19 per cent of the
world trade. Today it is only l per cent of the
world trade. Hence the wild tales of "Soyet
dumping are nonsense and are concocted for
the purpose of antagonizing the workers and
farmers of the United States. Therefore in
considering the building of socialism in the So
Vet Union we must consider the time and period
in which 1t is taking place.
It is occurring at time Of the worst econ
onic crisis in history. According TO reliable sta
tistics, there are between IS and 40 million ua-
employed In the capitalist countries; with the
United States at the top Of the list with Ia
100000. Wage cuts, speed-up and child labor
