munists in the full sense Of the name. These
workers all took Party literature in order 10
prepare themselves more.
Meetings of this kind are only one Of the
ways in reaching educating and bringing our
contacts closer to the movement. Meeting Of
this character could be held every month SO
even after the recruitment drive is over. These
meetings have not only proven of value to the
workers invited but the Party members as well.
Then too these meetings to some extent can
solve our problem OF how to keep new members
into the Party.
Especially during recruitment campaigns, often
the comrades in their zeal to get new members
into the Party, approach workers and literally
force these workers to join the Party without

and what shall be expected from them as Par
ty members, etc. AS result after singing APP
plicatioa cards they either do not come to meet

Whereas, when these workers receive inter

result stick and become active Communists

The Significance of international
Women's Day, March 9Th

March Day of Struggle Against Capitalism
In the Soviet Union March 9th is a day OF
celebration Of the emancipation of working class
women. A day when the women celebrate the
success of the Year Plan. A day when they
review the great gains of the working and farm
women under the Soviet rule. A day when they
pledge to further carry on the building of So
cialism side by side with the men.
1t was after the formation of the Communist
Third International that International Womens
Day March 8, really became revolutionary
world campaign of proetarian solidarity of men
and women for special wornen's demands, against
capitalist exploitation, and against inperialist
wars
1e20-Since 1920 International Women's Day
has been celebrated in every country under the
leadership of the Communist Parties. sections
of the Communist International.
international 'Womens Day 1882 is be-
ing celebrated under two totally different sys-
TENS: the capitalist system and the socialist
system In capitalist countries and in the work
erss country-covering one-sixth Of the world.
The celebration and demonstrations take on
different characters in these two worlds.
Women Win Freedom Through Revolution
In the Soviet Union the conditions of che
workers are steadily improving there is no I'M
employment. In fact there is a shortage of
labor. The 7-hour day prevails in most in
dustries. Special social insurance is provided for
all workers. The work of building socialism is
going ahead at full speed The 5-year plan of
characterization and collective farming is being
successfully completed in four years. The sec
ond five-year plan is being launched which will
further improve the conditions of the workers
In all the gains of the workers in the Soviet
Union the women have benefited most. Equal
pay for equal work is reality Special mater
nifty and social insurance is provided for the
women workers. The thousands OF communal
dining rooms, laundries, children's homes and
nurseries have freed the women from the druid
gerry at home and have made it possible for the

On the Second 5-Year Plan

OF the second Ffve-Year Plan, demonstrates to
the workers and toilers of the whole world that
the future belongs, not to the rule of the bour-
geoisie, but to the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat; that the facts speak against capitalism
and for Socialism
Secondly, regarded from the inner Soviet point
of view the fact of our going over to the tasks
of the second Five-Year Plan is likewise ex-
ceedingly significant
II Is one of the decisive tests Of what the lead
ership OF the peasant masses by the working
class, after the overthrow of the power of the
bourgeoisie, yields. In the Soviet Union for the
first time in the history of the world, power is
in the hands of the working class, which is lead
ing the toiling masses of the countryside with
it and, together with it, is Transforming the
whole national economy on a socialist basis Our
success, the great success of the working class
lies in the fact that the building up of Socialism
is taking place not only in the town but also in
the countryside. that the most backward part of
the working population, the toers of the vii
lage, are beginning to rise up to Socialism to-
wards the classics society
Finally, from the immediate economic stand
point, our successes are successes of planned So
cialst construction. In no country in the world
before has a planned State economy existed
Here we are making the first steps, and the re-
suits are already evident. From the solution
of individual tasks we shall proceed to new and,
with every year greater tasks
The success of planned socialist economy is
not only and not even SO much the success of
our planned economic organs. Our planning
and our calculations not limited to these
relatively narrow confines. proper economic
work. the organizing of national economic sta
tistics and the working out OF the plan can be
carried out and in fact will be carried out. only

Comrades!
TIE very fact that our Party Is proceeding to
discuss the tasks of the Second Five-Year
Plan speaks for itself. 1t shows, first of ALL
that our first Five-Year Plan is being success
fully carried out. 1t further shows that we are
absolutely certain that the year 1882 will see the
completion of the Five-Year Plan that we shall
fulfill the first Five-Year Plan in four years
One must consider more closely the irnpor-
lance of this fact the fact of the drawing UP of
the second Five-Year Plan of the Soviet Union
Firstly regarding the international importance
of this fact.
The international Importance OF this fact is
that the workers Of all countries that the work.

talist world At the present time when the
crisis has seized all capitalist countries and is
becoming ever deeper and is destroying industry
and the other branches of economy, compar-
tson between the bourgeois States and the Soviet
Union is particularly striking. This comparison
provides us with the opportunity to answer with
out hesitation the question, to whom the future
belongs to The proletariat and its power or to

with the active cooperation Of the working
masses, who often in the course Of the actual
carrying out Of the plans fundamentally revise
the original proposals. Supported by this activ-
ity of the working class and of the working pop
ulation in socialist construction our economic
plans are worked out under the leadership Of
the Party.
One must not however, forget that trenen-
dous work Of drawing up plan of national eco
nomy which has preceded the preparation of
the second Five-Year Plan.
The first plan of national economy was the
plan for identification, the Goelro plan This
was rough draft, a beginning first step to-
wards the work of the general technical recon-
struction Of the national economy OF our cotIn-
try. This Plan possessed enormous importance
for the whole of our economic work and for the
development of planning work itself.
We know, moreover, that a great work wa,
performed for the setting up of tile first annual
plans the control figures of national economy"
The first control figures for the year 1885
were confirmed Since then they have been
confirmed every year and are acquiring ever
greater Importance in regard to the conducttns
of national economy.
Almost simultaneously with the working cut

commenced to prepare comprehensive plans for
Transforming national economy In the course
OF number of years, the work was carried on
for preparing the first-fve Year Plan, and at the
same time the so-called general plan for trans-

ten to fifteen years, was prepared This lact-

lions for the Daily Worker can not be separated
from the Party drive for new members The
two major drives Of the Party, the drive for new
subs for the Daily Worker, and the drive for
additional militant fighters for the Communist
Party should progress along parallel lines. On
the graph these two campaigns in many res
poets should show similar tendencies. For eX-
ample in any said week If fifty new recruits are
taken into the Party. the Daily Worker curve

DEMPSEY LOSES .DECISI0N; KING .LEvINSKY WINS
Exhibition Match Draws Big Crowd Writers
 Give Their Verdict

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 19. = Jack Dempsey last night lost the news paper decision to Battling King Levinsky in a four round exhibi- ton fight here.
 The match was a vicious toe-to- toe battle wiht Levinsky, crude but Ia powerful and fearless walloper, hitting the old champion almost whenever he pleased and taking everything that Dempsey had to offer in the way of offense.
 AS the bout was an exhibition, with no official decision, the poll of the newswriters at the ringside was necessary to determine the winner. The writers voted in favor of Levinsky whom the crowd also favored.
 The bout drew 23,3O0 paid ad- missions and the receipts were STA, 4,199.

 Therein Gene dispels the popular idea that he became professional fighter, after the war, merely be- cause it offered him a chance to get rich quick and that he never entertained more than an aca- demic interest in pugilism.
 The fact, is, Tunney relates, he was always able to use his fists and his career in the ring is far from being either an accident of an afterthougnt.

Consequently Gene can no longer be held up as a contrast to Jack Dempsey. If Jack loved to fight so did Gene and it appears that Tunney made just as good a job of it in his early days as he did when he seized the chance to remove Dempsey from the top.
 At the age of IA or 15, if young Dempsey had happened to meet young Tunney on the sidewalks of New York, and started an argu- ment. the probability is that Gene would have poked Jack around quite as thoroughly as he did that rainy night in Philadelphia, 1926.
