T0ILING MASSES
ARE STARVING IN
CECHOST.OVAKIA
Feverish Production of
Munitions Doesn't
Alleviate Misery

The attempts of the inperialists
to mobilize the masses Of workers
for war under the slogan that war
means the return of prosperity re-
ceiVed a smashing refutation in the
revelation that millions of Czech
workers and peasants are starving to
death.
Czechoslovakia, the center of the
imperialist war producing industry
on the western border of the Soviet
Union, is feverishly engaged in
turning out millions of dollars worth
Of war materials.
The Skoda munition works con-
trolled by the Schneider Greuzot in
terests is located in Czechoslovakia.
1t produces from 100000 to 100000
artillery shells per month. In the
section of the auto industry devoted
to the production of cars for mill
tary purposes more than 10000 cars
and 800 airplane motors are pro-
duced yearly. The Skoda works
alone have been given orders by the
imperialist robber countries border
ing on the Soviet Union and by
France to an amount well over a
million francs up to 1882.
Despite the frantic turning Of the
wheels of the war industries of
Czechoslovakia the masses of Czech
workers are starving to death. This
was revealed by the Czech deputy
Ivan Ktirtjak. This deputy revealed
that tens of thousands of children
are literally starving to death.
Corroborating recent dispatches of
English and German journalists who
toured Ruthenia, Herr Kurtjak said ::
"They did not describe . hun
dredth part of the want and mis-
cry there In the mountain districts
there are many villages where all
the foo, the children have to eat
is little bread in water and a
few unripe or decaying potatoes.
The pigs on the big estates actu-
ally are better fed than these poor
mites.
There are whole districts where
the people have not seen piece of
bread since Autumn. AS result of
malnutrition tuberculosis is terribly
prevalent. The prices of animals,
which constitute the only property
OF these peoples, are ridiculously
low. A COW costs three dollars. 1
saw a horse sold for 20 cents. Be-
cause the people cannot earn any
thing they are Obliged to sell their
cattle for IaughabIe prices to pay
taxes. In most OF the villages not
single light burns at night. The
trains travel without passengers
through a country as sad and life
less as cemetary.
Naturally agrarisn communism
has begun to raise its head. In
Kolovne, Dolhaja, Hust and other
neighborhoods there already have
been tumultuous demonstrations"
Commenting further the same dis
patch continues:
MANY Of the houses are low,
dark and dirty huts, with fires in
the middle of the floors and holes
In the middle of tr, floors and
holes in the roofs for the smoke to
escape, with huge goats milk
cheeses hung on tof reach of the
cattle, which sometimes, for want
of other stablins, found shelter In
the same quarters from the Winter
cold. More than 70 per cent Of the
inhabitants we're illiterate and
lacked either clocks or calendars.
As result of undernourishment
they we're old men and women at
35 years of axe and the death rate
was high"

Meet Tonight To Expose Progressives
AS a result of the mass demand
of the dressmakers, the fake pro-
gresSive Blustein- Zimmerman ad-
ministration was compelled for to-
night to call a. meeting to discuss
the strike and the activities carried
on during the year Of its admins
tration.
Every member Of Local % must
come to this meeting tonight to raise
his. voice in protest against the SELL
out wage cut settlement and to dis
cuss and work out plans for real
unity in the struggle of the dress
makers for union conditions. The
dressmakers must come to this meet
ing to tell the fake progressives that
they have betrayed all their prom
ises, and must line up in support of
the left wing candidates in the COM
ing election for a new administra-
ton and delegates to the I.L.W.U.
convention.
The call points out that the left
wing has consistently fought against
the fake progressives and for real
strike and real unity of the dress
makers. Only by supporting the can
didates of the left wing can the
dressmskers undertake struggle for
better conditions.

benefits. He would contract with his
county committee not to plant more
than 100 acres the next year or would
contract to reduce his acreage, I'D to
10 per cent, in q general reduction were
decided upon.
Available to Borrow.
''As soon as the contracts were signed
he could take his copy Of it to the bank
and borrow up to 80 per cent of its
probable value. As soon as his crop
was ripe he would harvest 1t and sell
1t IN the usual way, receiving payment
at the prevailing, price, based on the
world market.
Then, at the end of the season,
about July, the local committee would
certify that he had kept his contract
by not planting larger acreage than
specified In the contract and he would
then receive check for full payment
OF his tariff benefits on the crop-per-
haps 40 cents bushel, or $3.50 on his
1,200-bushel share of the domestic con-
sumption. Then he could pay back the
banks loan with the tariff benefits
check"
Under the plan, 1t Is explained in
the Hope speech, the amount Of the
benefit payment would be the same,
whether the farmer had a crop failure
or bumper crop. If he had q bad
year and produced only 300 bushels
on his 100 acres, he still would get the
tariff benefits payment on 1900 bushels.
If he had a bumper crop and produced
5000 bushels, the tariff benefits pay
ment would still be on 1900 bushels.
Payment of immediate cash benefits,
however, according to Prof. Wilson, are
not the most important feature Of the
plan to farmers, nor its most important
contribution to curing the depressed
position Of farm prices In relation to
prices of other products. He thinks
that its most important feature Is the
means it provides for enabling farmers
to deal with their own production on
an effective basis to adjust the quanti-
ties produced to what the markets will
take. The carryover of wheat in the
United States, he points out, was more
than $50, 100000 bushels at the begin
ming of this season, where in ordinary
times it is only 100,0O0,000. The carry
over of cotton in the United States
