Anti-Red Bill
In Argentina

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. Ga bill

large share of the responsibility for
the crimes of this regime, including
the shooting of hundreds of workers.
He Is regarded as "the strong man"
behind the government.
In the meantime the influence Of
the Communist Party in Argentina is

the beginning of the economic crisis.
Thousands of women and children
in Richmond are now facing hunger,
destitution, and degradation.
Only a small percentage Of the
UNEMPLOYED are given some sort of
relief, which is not enough to main
tain decently even a family Of two.
Hundreds and perhaps thousands are
denied any relief at all because of
the criminal policy of the relief
agencies who refuse to grant relief
to single men and women and small
families.
In the face of this widespread de-
stitution, starvatio nand misery, Gov
ernor Pollard had the nerve to make
public statement a few days ago
that he would not consider asking
for a loan from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
The Unemployed Council will car
ry on an active and systematic CAM
paign to collect signatures to en-
dorse the program of demands for
the unemployed which will be pre-
sented to City Council, and will at
the same time continue to organize
the unemployed for more and better
unemployment relief.
The program includes the follow
ing:
An approximation Of $750,O00 for
winter relief to be raised by special
taxation on all incomes above $4,000
year and all properties above $500
or else by loan from the RIG.
Every unemployed worker, man or
woman, young or old, single or mar
ried, to be paid a minimum of SIS
week in cash relief and So a week
for each dependent.
No forced labor
No eviction of unemployed workers
and their families because of non
payment OF rent.
Free gas, water and electricity for
the unemployed.
Free lunches and milk In the
schools for the children of the un-
employed workers.
Adequate medical and dental treat
ment, free of charge, for the unen1
ployed workers and their families.
All men working on relief jobs for
the city to be paid the same rate of
wages as all other laborers who are
employed regularly by the city.
No discrimination to be applied a.

lief because of age, color, creed or

Of officials have remained the same.
When the so-called season started
this fall. workers who had been un-
employed for q long time were given
SO and $3.50 because Of part time

week on their back dues.
A fight has developed on this is

thru motion for lower dues and
lower salaries for officials. This was
done in the face of the machine mob

motion. The vote was over 200 a.

fact that the machine brought in

Every time the Red Army, Lenir1 on

One worker tells me, ut gives me
courage to overthrow this damned
system over here, when see how
complete is the victory that the
workers in the Soviet Union have
established. Of course the capital
ist press lies about them, but we
know that is because they are afraid
of the workers power, and afraid OF
what the workers here will do when
they wake up and take everything
that the capitalists now own"

rotten, and the workers are exploited
in the worst way. There Is forced

gets no relief.
In the factories the workers get as
low as 10 cents an hour, and in some

FREE RUEGG' CALL
BY CHINA S0VlEfS
Marking Scored AS the

SHANGHAI CBv MaiD The Cen

a declaration demanding the immedi-
ate release Of Paul and Gertrude
Ruegg.
Call Is Suppressed.
The declaration which was received
here ON the 18th Of September and
deliberately suppressed, points out
that the Marking Government for five
years has ruled China with fire and
sword proceeding with the utmost
brutality against the national revolu-
tionary movement in the country
while betraying the interests Of the
Chinese people time and again TO the
foreign imperialists.
After stating that in accordance
with the dictates of the foreign i'm
perialists the Marking Government
abandoned the fight against Japan
and sent the heroic soldiers Of the
18th Army to fight against the red
batallions Of the Soviet troops, the
declaration says that the Ruegg pro-
ceedings were also carried out under
imperialist orders.
Fight for Ruegg Release.
The Central Soviet Government
declares its absolute solidarity with
the two Rueggs and states that it
will fight for their release with all
possible means, as they are real

TOWARDS 18th ANNIVERsARY or
TOWARDS 18th ANNIVERSARY OF
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
CHARGE THAT "5-YEAR PLAN HAS BROKEN
DOWN" REFUTED BY SOVIET RUSSIA TODAY

The October issue of Soviet Russia
Today, which just came off the press,
contains an article sent from Moscow
by Leo Cendon, on the charge Of anti
Soviet propagandists that THE Five
Year Plan has broken down. the food
shortage is acute, and socialist plan
ming has failed"
Cendon says that "thc Five Year
Plan is not set Of immutable fig
ures, but a living thing, constantly
being adopted and revised according
to circumstances" He gives as the
main events causing revision of the
original plan as adopted in 1928:
"First-the rapid development Of
collective farming. The original plan
envisaged that one-fifth of the peas
ants would be in collective farms by
the end OF the five years. Actually
there we're more than three-fifths
by the end of three years. This meant
that the plan for certain industries
had also to be revised.
For instance, there had TO be a
greater and more rapid increase in
the number of tractors and agricul-
tural machines generally. Not only
is the plan for these already sur
passed, but the USSR is now turn
ing out more agricultural machinery
than any country in the world. In
addition, some 5000 machine and
tractor stations have had to be or
ganized. These were not even con-
templated in the original plan.
State Farms Surpass Original Plan
Moreover the rapid growth Of COL
lective farms sometimes accompanied
by "hothead excesses," led in 1929
to a wholesale slaughter of farm an
imals by rich peasants, kulaks. This
seriously depleted livestock and made
it necessary for the State to build
extra reserves for replacement. Re
suit, the State Farms had surpassed
the whole original plan by the end
of last year.
These changes have meant that the
sum invested in agriculture is 1855 per
cent Of the amount originally plan
ned. These investments however,
have been made only recently and
cannot, this year. overcome all the
dislocation caused by the unexpected
rapidity with which peasants have
joined the collectives. The drought
of 1881 another factor. AS a result
the grain crop will, at the moment
of writing, fulfill only 95 per cent
of the original plan.
Other crops-Sugar, flax, cotton,
tobacco, etc, have surpassed their
estimates.
Greater Influx Of Workers Into
Industry
Second-there is the great influx Of
workers into industry. The original
plan provided for four million in
dustrial workers. This year the
number is over six million. Alto
gether the original plan called for
100000 workers of all kinds. There
already are 21,0o0,00o. This great
overfulfilIment of the Plan has re-
quired greater expenditure on wages,
housing, social Insurance, and food
supply.
Third-the world crisis has required
a revision of some aspects of the
Plan, not downward, but upward.
Receiving a smaller payment for its
exports, the Soviet Union has not
been able to buy so much machinery
or employ SO many experts from
abroad, but has had TO start manu-
featuring this machinery and train
ing more skilled workers. SO that
in these two items, the original plans
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-10-08
had long been surpassed.

had long been surpassed.
Fourth-it has been necessary to
make good the sabotage that went
on in industry until 1880, when the
leaders of the Industrial Party we're
rounded up and tried. This sabot-
age was particularly vicious in the
coal and metal industries. The orig
inal plan for coal, for instance, spec
flied far too small an output in the
early period (the idea of the wreckers
being to keep industry short in fueD
and too much in the later years.
Fifth--is the war situation. Not
only did the defense of the Far East
in 1929 require special resources, but
the present situation requires even
greater precautions. Some day the
full story of Japans adventure" in
the Far East will be told. The Lytton
report to the League of Nations GER
tainly does not tell half of it,
These are the main causes for re-
visions in the original plan. With
such tremendous oyerfulfillment in
agriculture, machine building, tech
meal training, etc, it is only natural
that other sections should be pro-
portionately reduced. But in fact,
there had not been any proportionate
reduction. Light industry and met
allurgy are, in four years, only
little behind the plan set for five
years; while such important indus
tries as the oil and electrical indus
tries overcome their handicaps and
finished their quotas in less than
three years.
