STORM TROOPERS
MUJTLNY -SH GU 7
GIVE Us FOOD!

VIENNA, July 4.-Eeports in the
bourgeois press here indicate serious
discomfort in the Nazi ranks with
the Hitler regime. Six trusted de-
tachments of the storm troops are
said to have been dissolved. In the
heavily working class district of the
Ruhr, 10000 storm troopers demon
strated against the Hitler govern
ment of starvation and shouted:
"Hitler, Give Us Bread or Wen Go
Red" Minister Goering, who visited
Frankfort to preside at a banquet,
was booed by massed storm troopers
who cried: I'VE are hungry. Give us
food and drop your feasts."
Mutiny Spreads.
Mass expulsions from the storm
troop detachments have been put
through in Frankfort. But the mu-
tiny in the ranks of the Nazis Is
still spreading, and has extended it
self to other towns. The Darmstadt
storm troopers affirmed their soli-
darity with their Frankfort COM
rades. In Koenigsberg the same
thing happened, and severe fighting
broke out between the storm troop
ers and the special detachment"

They again refused to work on ac-

that they aren't being fed plenty. He

The six decided to ask for their

home. The sergeant told them that
they would have to wait three or four
days for their papers. The boys, fear
ing that the delay Of waiting longer,
would be the arrival of the troops to

Fight Under Lead of
Red t. u. Opposition
and Communist Party

BERLIN (By MaiD, June 2l.-The
Berlin restaurant combine Ascllin-
ger has always been considered a
Nazi citadel. When the factory
council was taken over by the Nazis
the management strengthened its
position by securing the appointment
of Nazi commissioner. In spite OF
all this, conflicts with the workers
did not stop. and during these fights
the Nazi factory organization I'M
masked itself as the open tool Of
the employers.
The Nazi chairman Of the factory
council was at the same time man
ager of one of the Aschinger restau
rants and he used all his influence
in the service of his employers. This
disgusted even the Nazi workers. who
demanded his dismissal. In his place,
a storm troop man who was consider
ed absolutely reliable was appointed.
/ This man was a chauffcur-a prole-
tarian-and thought it his duty to de-
fend the interests of the workers This
soon led him into trouble, Last week
he was also dismissed The dissatis-
faction of the workers is very great.

the management had to withdraw its

The workers had doWned tools in
one department of the factory for
two hours, while the other workers
had gone on passive resistance and
were preparing a strike of the whole
staff. The Party and the Red Trade

changeable weather. The tractor bril-
gade of "Griadushchi Mir was en-
titled to a large share of the honors.
The local Machine and Tractor Sta
ton put four tractors at the disposal
of the commune for the spring work,
lut the tractors had to be manned
by the communards themselves. 1t is
the usual arrangement in such cases
during the winter months colhozes
send several Of their members Gus
ually young men and women to the
Machine and Tractor Station for a
course of training as tractor opera
tors and mechanics. In the spring
these tractorists operate the tractors
working on the land of their colhoz.
Bad work and delay in the sowing
and harvesting is often caused by the
poor condition of the machines, but
more frequently the operators and
mechanics are at fault. During my
Journey through the Ukraine and
Crimea I saw many a broken-down
tractor standing idle in the fields,
with perplexed peasant lads scratch
ing their heads, unable either to as
sign a cause or find a remedy for
the breakdown The tractor brigade
of "Criadushchi Mir knew their ma
chimes and had the will to work them
to their utmost. Though the nights
we're still chilly. the tractorists braved
the cold and the ntght shift drove
their tractors through the night. In
stead of the ten hectares per day
which was considered the norm, y
they turned out an average OF ID
hectares per day per tractor.
I was told that the tractorists of
"Griadushcci Mir" mostly children
of commune members were nearly all
members of the Comsomol This ex-
plains a lot. An interesting feature
Of the Comsomol nrcleus (22 mem
hers) of "Gfiadusiacni Mir" Is that
their leader, the secretary Of the
nucleus, is former Besprisorni. From,
the streets he had been in home
for bad boys" and came out of it
fine, outstanding, educated lad, bent
on doing his bit for the building OF
the socialist world to come.
So this is the story Of "Griadushchi
Mir" a collective farm that still has
much to learn and much to forget,
live, growing "big business" run en-
tirely by the peasants for their own
benefit, for the benefit Of the social
ist fatherl md. Here you could see
before your very eyes the new type OF
men and women brought into being
by the new order. The individual
istic proprietary cravings, the sense
of personal greed are disappearing
A new spiritual force, a sense of col
lectivism has come to animate and
illumine the lives of these people on
their way to "the world to come az

cows, pigs or garden patches while
members of artels have such things.
The communard personally does not
sell any of his surplus on the free
market. His private belongings as
confined to his home, furnishings and
personal effects. In this respect it is
a "purer" socialist organization than
the primary form of the colhoz, the
artel.
The 1921 Famine.
"Griadushchy Mir" is one OF the
older conmunes, formed back in 1921.
Its history dates back TO lone dom
key as the sole source Of draught
power of the newly formed commun-
ity. 1t was after the famine that
struck the country in 1920-192l. The
poor peasants saw before them an
other difficult year, since they had
neither seeds nor horses to work their
land with. The country had been
bled white by years OF war and in
tervention fought on several fronts.
Industry and agriculture were alike
in state OF ruin. The young Gov
let Republic succeeded in beating off
its enemies on the fields of battle,
but the, state Of economic ruin in
herited by the revolution still had
to be overcome. Under those cir
cumstances the Soviet government
could not, as it does now in similar
cases, provide the famine-stricken
communities with food and seeds to
tide over the bad times and get a
new start. Faced with the prospect
of another hard year, number Of
peasants in that district got together
and organized the commune-with
the idea that by concerted effort they
might pull through. The Soviet gov
eminent gave them every assistance
and encouragement possible under
the circumstances, but-the lone
donkey still stands out as a reminder
of those trying days, as symbol of
the ruin prevailing in that section
Of the country l spoke to several
of the conmunards Of "Griadushchy
Mir" and not one of them failed TO
mention that historic donkey A
hundred on SO men and women half
spent with hunger, ruined estate
Of a former landlord and a sole
donkey-these were the assets of the
commune "oriadushchy Mir" In 1921.

Anti>Fascist Actions in U.S.A.

Now the commune is among the
prosperous collective farms of the
district. 1t is all clear Of debts, hav-
ing made the last payments of $780,
600 rubles during 1888 The COM
mune now possesses dairy farm OF
1853 milk-cows, a hog farm Of 60
breeding sows, A horses in addition
to ample farm machinery and equip
ment. Its population counts 325
souls, of whom ITO are adults fit for
work. The name "World to Come"
adopted by the commune at its for
nation has already justified itself to a
considerable extent. The farmers Of
"Griadushchi Mir are no longer
afraid of the ghastly spectre Of starv-
alton. Their estate is well fortified
against crop failure or famine, their
crops being fully insured with the
state insurance agencies and their
own emergency stores Of grain and
fodder being large enough to tide
them over bad year. The income
OF the commune is divided on the
basis Of the number Of work-days,
put in during the year-the same as
in other colhozes. Last year the in
come of the estate amounted to 400,-
900 rubles, and although nearly a
half of this sum was paid in to wipe
out the indebtedness of the farm, the
communards received something like
5000 rubles per family. The food bill
was very small-about sixty kopeks
per day per adult for three square
meals.
The communards and their fam
lilies either take their meals az the
communal mess-hall or fetch them
home from the communal kitchen
No cooking at all is done in the
homes.
The commune inhabitants are well
dressed and lack no comforts in their
homes. The outlook for the coming
year is very bright. With the debts
cleared and the business enlarged the
income from the dairy farm. the pig
farm and the 1900 hectares of land

LONDON, July 4.-Gathered in the
Soviet embassy in London today, rep
resentatives of the Soviet Union.
Esthonia, Persia, Poland, Afgharis-
tan, Rumania, Latvia and Turkey
signed non-aggression pact
Each of the contracting parties
according to the understanding
eached-undertakes to reoognizs
the definition of aggression adopted
by the security committee of the
disarmament conference on the basis
made by the Soviet delegation.
The ratified copies OF the agree.
ment made today will be handed to
representatives of the Soviet Gov
ernment and deposited in Moscow.
Signatories, included: for the Sow
let Government, Lityinov; Turkey,
Tevfik and Rustibey as well as rep
reSentatives of six other countries.
A significant feature OF the pres
ent pact-unlike the kellogg Pact
is that it actually offers a precise
definition of aggression. Article 2
provides that an agressor in an
international conflict shall be recog-
nized as state which shall have
committed one OF the following ac-
tionS:
4 Declared war on another state:
invaded by armed forces the terri
tory Of another state even without
a declaration of war; attacked by
its land, sea or air forces, even with
out declaration of war, the vessels
or aircraft of another state; set up
a naval blockade of coasts or ports;
supported armed bands which orga-
nized on its territory and invaded
the territory of another state; or
refused, despite the demand of ths
invaded state, to take on its own ter
ritory all the steps in its power to
deprive the aforesaid bandits of all
aid or protection
Article says that no considera-
ton of a political, military, economic
or any other character shall serve
as an excuse or justification for ag-
gression as provided under Article
z. Article 4 deals with the ratifca-
ton of the instruments, which are
to be deposited by each State with
the Soviet government.
Maxim Litvinof, Soviet Foreign
CommiSsar, said tonight:
"The convention constitutes =
new link in the chain of the Sow
let Governments measures syste-
maticalIy directed toward rein
forcement of its peaceful relations
with its neighbors. At the same
time it affords both an example
and stimulus to other countries.
The Soviet Union IS ready for
similar conventions with any other
states. irrespective Of the geo
graphical position and existing re-
lstions with ITSELF"
