BY ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

INDUSTRIAL centers of various
kinds in Sweden helped spread
the Scottsboro protest in response
to the tour Of the Negro Mother
from the United States. Interest
in the Scottsboro campaign finds a
basis among workers in all indus
tries. 1t did not matter in Sweden
whether it was the great Asea Elec-
trical works in Vaesteros; the tex
tile centers of Norrkoping and Bo-
roes; the workers of various trades
as in the nations capitol, Stock
holm or the seamen and harbor
workers of Lervik and Soderhamm.
There was an equal interest every
where.
It remained for the Social Demo-
kraten, the chief organ of the So
cial-Democratic Party to find a
basis of cleavage, to find a for
hidden ground in the working class
struggle, where the Scottsboro
mother, Mrs. Ada Wright, should
not set foot. 1t discovered this for
hidden zone to be Soderhamm, CEN
ter of strike struggles. But great
parts of Northern Sweden are pretty
we'll covered with strike struggles,
militantly fought against the en-
ployers' imported strike breakers,
defended by the police power of the
state.
Under Cloak of mo Politics"
Like Vandervelde, Blum and 9TH
er leading Embellishments, their
counterparts in Sweden insist that
the Scottsboro campaign must be
completely isolated from politics"
Social-Demokraten, of Stockholm,
argued that it was doing a disfavor
to the Scottsboro mother and her
cause to send her to speak in the
Soderhamm strike zone. 1t would
be putting the stamp of politics"
upon her non-political cause. But
the Scottsboro mother gave her an
swer by declaring that it was the
workers who were carrying on the
basic struggle for the release of the
Scottsboro boys, and that she had
found specially strong support for
the Scottsboro cause among striking
workers. And she insisted on going
to Soderhamm. And in Soderhamm
striking workers themselves, thru
their own spokesman, specially
greeted the Scottsboro mother and
emphatically denounced the traitor
role of the Social Demokraten."
The strike pointed out that they

After that the "Social-Demo-
kraten" closed its columns to the
Scottsboro campaign--the social
democrat in charge of Sweden's
government controlled radio re-
fused the Scottsboro mothers the
right to broadcast her appeal to
the nation.

treasure chests joined the social
democrats in seeking to ignore the
Scottsboro campaign which re-
celved considerable publicity in
sweden, as in Norway, from the
press generally, including the syn
d1calist daily newspaper published
in Stockholm.
The response to the Scottsboro
appeal can be measured in MANY
ways. In Norrkoping, for instance,
there were greater thousands in the
Scottsboro demonstration than in
last May Days demonstration The
police of Norrkoping evidently felt
the undercurrent of Scottsboro pro-
test since they began making ar
rests early of those distributing
propaganda for the meeting and a
special police stenographer was
brought down from Stockholm in
order to get a record of everything
that was said by the speakers. In
fact the Swedish police built their
activities more and more after the
German model.

Questions written on countless
slips of paper are passed forward
to the platform, carefully collected

do you know that damages and
waste in the factory last year
amounted to nearly two million
rubles? With this sum, we could
build six houses. And since the
November holidays, absences from
work have increased. Is this the
way to fulfill our program? Also
our union mass work needs to be
strengthened. We have about sew

So criticisms and demands come,

SINGER PRODUCTION
FAR SURPASSED BY SOVIET

For several hours Varonin dis
cusses with us production problems,
advances, set-backs, and prospects
with that sure grasp, level-headed-
ness and frank self-criticism that
one soon learns are common traits
of Russian Bolsheviks. Here there
is space to give only the outstand-
ing landmarks Of the long and still
continuing uphill struggle of the
Podolsk workers to develop their
plant and master technique.
AS soon as the workers took over
the plant, in 1917, they found Them

machine, such as needles, shuttles
and bobbins, so that only the cast
ing of big parts and general assem-
bling had been done at Podolsk.
This had kept the plant dependent

the development of few Russian
skilled workers. Furthermore.
Singer had carefully developed a
type of sewing machine, and the

Only part of the plant was used
to produce small tools and other
necessary implements. Then, the
Soviet power consolidated, the
workers could return, laying aside
their guns and tackling production
problems with the same dogged
determination that they chased
out the Whites.
Here the results: BY 1928 the
peak of production under Singer

had been surpassed, every year

being produced on Soviet soil, until

And while the Podolski plant
has been expanding what has been
happening in the Singer plants in
America? The Daily Worker asks
that workers send in letters giving
information on these plants, and
the workers conditions. From a
former Singer employee now in
the Soviet Union, we hear that the
Elizabeth, N. j., plant was reducing
its production radically for the last
three years, laying off workers last
summer and fall at the rate OF 200

and these we're getting only or

THE election campaign period re-
sounds with new policies for
old. Democratic candidate, Roose-
welt, comes forward as the cham
pion of the under dog, the forgot
ten man." But the new" policy
gag is not confined merely to the
election period The Hoover gov
eminent more than year ago pro-
claimed new policy on the
question of the use of American
Marines in the colonies.
In April, 1881, the Hoover adj
ministration, through Secretary of
State Stimson, enunciated this
new" policy toward Central Amer
lea and particularly toward Mica
ragua. "No more marines to Mica
ragua and the existing marines in
Nicaragua would be withdrawn"
Heralded AS Event
This Change" of policy was her
aided at the time by many Latin
American papers as a tremendous
event.
H o o ve r and Stimson cry
Change" But there is no change.
In June, 1882, American Ambassa-
dor Culbertson in Chile demanded
protection from the Chilean gov
eminent for American copper mines
and got it. The demand had be-
hind it the threat of Yankee inva-
sion. American imperialism stands
ready to back up its demands with
its huge navy roaming the Pacific
waters. During the mass uprising
in FL Salvador in December, 1881
Gin Central America, mind yoU,
American cruisers stood by, ready
to crush the uprising led by the
Communist Party, if it proved sue
cessful. American imperialism
built up as colonial empire through
force and maintains it by force.
Where, then, is the change of
policy? True, the number of ma
rines in Nicaragua has been de-
creased, but more than 1000 still
remain. But along with this has
gone corresponding growth in
the National Guard, differed by
American Marines. Under an
agreement signed on Dec. %, 1927,
by the American Charge d'Affaires
at Managua and the Nicaraguan
Minister of Foreign Affairs, the
National Guard was to total 1929
officers and men at a cost of
$689,132 year. A report by Sec
rotary Stimson to the Senate For
eign Relations Committee in Feb
ruary, 1881, admits that "The
Guardia Nacional was increased
by the Nicaraguan government until
in october, 1880, it included to-
tai personnel numbering 2,459 Can
increase of 100 per cent?, differed
by 200 marines, both commissioned
and enlisted men. The annual
cost of the Guardia Nacional grew
to a total of $1,116,00O" American
Marines are not to go into the in
terror of Nicaragua; this is left
to the national guard; but the kill

peasants continues.

When is the complete withdrawal
of marines to take place? Accord

Secretary of Navy Adams on Jan.

elections in November, 1882" and
he advised the special training of
Nicaraguan officers in order to
turn over the whole Guardia Ma

ONCE SINGER PRODUCTS,
NOW SOVIET-MADE

We have seen how Soviet workers
organized production and workers
management in the former Singer
works, situated at Podolsk, small
industrial city near Moscow What
results have they been able to OBJ
tain? Has production increased or
fallen off? Has quality improved
or gone backwards? In other
words, is workers control as tech
nically efficient as capitalist con-
troll?
These questions take us back to
the Red Directors office. Nicholas
Varonin, originally Leningrad
machine driller, now responsible
manager of this plant, is ready for
us-charts, record books and pages
of neat figures laid out around him.
A WORKER
DIRECTOR
incidentally, Varonin is typical
of the new corps of directors and
specialists which the working class
is developing from its own ranks.
Immediately after the revolution,
when the old engineers and tech
nicians were creating havoc with
their sabotage, the workers in his
Leningrad pipe factory came to-
gether to choose from among
themselves men to replace the
wreckers. Varonin was one of them.
