MOSCOW. u. S. S. r., Nov. L.
The capitalists prophesied many
times that the proleterian govern
ment of the Soviet Union, which ma
tionalized the factories and plants,
can not do anything but "squander"
and ruin" these plants. What &C.
tually happened is the reverse of
these prophesies. While industry in
the Soviet Union Is undergoing
stormy growth and Development
capitalist industry, struck by the
crisis, is actually falling into an
abyss.
Socialist industry, owned by the
working class of the Soviet Union, is
not experiencing any crisis, but is
on the contrary advancing at rapid
tempo from one achievement to aa'
other. The Soviet Union has almost
trebled the basic capital invested in
its industry, having increased the
same from 5000, 100000 roubles to
$4,000, 100000 roubles.
Leningrad Typical of Soviet Union.
Giving eLeningrad industry as
practical example of the tremendous
rise of industrial development, and
pointing out that Leningrad is typical
for the entire Union, the Pravda
writes:
The victories of Leningrad indus
try we're won in the midst Of hard
struggle with class enemies and their
opportunist agents. The Leningrad
party organization Is solid main
stay of the feminist Central Com
mittee of the Communist Party,
headed by Comrade Stain, and is
one Of the most advanced detach-
ments of the Party in the struggle for
its general line. The most remark
able result Of this struggle is the
fulfillment, by Leningrad industry, of
its Five-Year Plan In Three Years.
The victory of Leningrad industry is
vivid proof of the triumph of the
general line of the Party"
Towards a Classics Society.
After stating that the Leningrad
proletariat was always in the van
guard of the revolutionary struggle,
the Pravda concludes:
Lellln tOWH Is assisting III many
ways the fulfillment of the first Five
Year Plan in four years. through the
production of its plants and the rev.
dictionary initiative of the workers.
There is no T3ubt that Lenin's town
will again be in the vanguard of the
struggle for the fulfillment of the
Second Five-Year Plan, which is a
five-year plan of construction of a
class less Socialist society"

Vote Communist

CLEVELAND, O-James w. Ford,
Communist candidate for yice-pres-
ident issued here today the follow
ing statement
ITO vote for the Republican, DEM
ocratic, or Socialist Parties is to vote
for exactly what we have been getting
the past four years. To vote for any
of these three parties is like saying;
Yes, we like starvation. lynching,
bread lines, Scottsboro.' No Negro
can afford to ignore this outstanding
fact-the Communists Party is uniting
the Negro and white worker in a
common struggle against the white
ruling class and their age-long pro-
gram of lynching, jim-crow, and dis
elimination. The Communist Party
is fighting for economic, political, and
social equality for the Negro, and self
determination for the Black Belt. I
call upon the Negro voter to support
that party which fights for a free
Negro people"

ROOsevelt's Program
For JObless Differs
Little from HOOver's

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. l.-Roose-
welt in speech here yesterday, some
what amplified, without really chang
ing his relief speech made the day
before at Groton. To his first an
nouncement. laying the whole burden
of relief entirely on the local chart
ties, which are now slashing relief
and in some cities ending it alto
gether, he now proposes two more
things. IF" local charity fails, the
state and federal governments should
step into the breach" And, the
federal government should provide
temporary work on roads, canals, ETC.,
and should actually start the public
works already provided for but not
even begun yet.
The program does not differ from
the Hoover plan, which has left
100000 jobless to starve.
