THE American Workers Delegation to the 14th
Anniversary OF the Russian Revolution have
returned to the United States animated by re-
newed enthusiasm as a result of their obServa-
tons and experiences in the Soviet Union. The
delegation Is determined to work increasingly to
carry the truth about the Soviet Union TO the
millions OF American workerS-not only to speak,
but to organize these workers into militant
groups of the Friends of the Soviet Union, pre-
pared at any moment to militantly resist any
attack by the imperialist powers, particularly
the United States, upon the workers fatherland.
The Delegation has had an exceptional OPP
portunity to observe the progress of the Five
Year Plan and the spirit and resolution of the
Russian workers who confronted with UMPIRE
cedented difficulties, are completing "Patiletka"
in four years. recognizing the correctness of the
Communist Party program and policy, and &C
cepting the Party as the leader and director in
the development of the Workers State.
The delegation, by unanimous vote of the Pre-
sidium of the Republic of Daghestan were
elected honorary "udarnid" (shock brigaders)
Of the Daghestsn Republic.
The Delegation returns TO report to the work
ers in the basic industries from which they
came, and to build groups OF the FSU in every
basic industry, particularly in the factories Of
the largest enterprises. Smaller in numbers than
some previous delegates, nevertheless the pres
ent delegation is characterized by its definite
proletarian character and by the ability TO OBJ
serve and report to the workers the situation in
the Soviet Union. The Delegation consists Of
marine workers-three from New York one from
San Francisco; two steel workers-one from
Gary, Indiana and one from Youngstown Ohio;
TWO miners-one from the strike region Of West
Virginia and one woman picket leader from the
Pennsylvania strike region one chemical work
er from Buffalo and one railroad worker from
Detroit. Four Negro workers ano one woman
delegate are included in those listed above.
The Delegation was received with unprece-
dented enthusiasm as they visited the workers
in the factories of the Moscow District, the i'm
mense Dnieperstroy Hydro Electric Project, the
coal mines of the Don Bas among the national
minorities of the Republic of Daghestan, among
the oil workers of Baku, the cement and marine
workers of Novorosssk, the metal workers in
Tractorstroy at Stalingrad and the workers in
Red Putilov and on the waterfront in the port
Of Leninpad. Now the Delegation will get
down to work. to bring the message of inter-
national solidarity from the Russian workers to
the American workers.
The report of the Delegation, which will be
printed i'll pamphlet form, will give detailed
examination of the conditions and progress of
the building Of socialism and the Five Year
Plan. This report, which will be off the press
in few days, should be spread broadcast and
read by every worker, unemployed and employed
In capitalist America who is suffering unem-
ployrnent and starvation on the one hand or
eVer-increasing wage cuts and speed-up in the
factories-not through any fault Of their own
but q result Of the failure Of capitalism TO
meet the ever increasing difficulties which are
inseparabIe from the system the capitalists sup
port and maintain.
The message OF the Russian workers to the
American workers is a message Of working class
courage and resolution. The Russian worker
call upon the workers in America, as in every
capitalist country, to follow their example and
even at the cost of tremendous sacrifice to fol-
low in the footsteps of the Russian workers,
smash the capitalist state and build a workers
civilization to supplant the corrupt and decadent
capitalist system.
While the Russian workers at the present time
are struggling under hardships to create the
basis Of heavy industry, without foreign loans,
without che Intervention or direction OF foreign
capital-building out OF the raw material and
resources Of Workers Russia, workers country
in short building socialisn1-in the capitalist
countries we find the workers racing bitter mis-
cry, hunger and actual starvation as result Of
the collapse Of capitalist Institutions America,
with its II million unemployed Is only
synlptomatic OF the entire capitalist system We
have noted the actual horror OF hunger, stalva-
ton and impending death stamped on the faces
