employing the words "creeds" and sin

Here we have the full meaning that
turks behind Mr.. Thomas's reference
to 'creeds." His rejection Of dogma
Is by his own admission the rejection
of the class conflict.
Marxisrn is revolutionary, dynamic,
not dogmatic. The resoluteness OF
the working class in struggle for die

the clear, scientific recognition Of the

will be the role Of the order in the

swept along by the mighty move
ment of construction. But these,
too, became less and less. The
applicants for work became fewer
and fewer. At the beginning of
1880 we had only 1882 unem-
plOyed, mainly unskilled workers.
In a few months they too we're alb
sorbed in industry, and we had
nothing more to do. In the sum-
mer, 1890, the Labor Exchange was
closed down, as it had become
superfluous."
And the Labor Exchange clerks
were without jobs?
"Oh no, We had our hands abso-
lutely full trying to satisfy the con-
stantly growing demand for workers.
In the place Of the Labor Exchange
for workers, we organized the pres
ent labor office for procuring labor
for industry. Let us take any month
you please, for instance, May, 1882
For Moscow alone 33,417 workers and
employees we're required, and all we
could supply was 66i9. The various
works and factories were continually
telephoning us to send along, If not
skilled, at least unsldlled workers
But from where we're we to obtain
them? We could no longer just sit
in our offices; our clerks we're obliged
themselves to travel TO the various
villages and seek workers. We set
up Offices at all the railway stations
and posted up placards calling for
workers for industry"
But that was the case nine months
ago, perhaps only six months ago
In the meantime there have been
considerable changes An order was
issued according to which the STATS
in the Offices of the central admin
istratiye authorities will be reduced
In some factories, too, the number
Of workers is TO be decreased. The
whole of the anti-Soviet press is now
declaring that there are already
again many unemployed in the Sow
let Union; since they are not reg
istered, and do not receive any UNI
employment benefit, their lot there
fore is much worse than that Of the
unemployed in the capitalist coun-
tries. Is there perhaps some truth
in this?

only country where there is no crisis.
While the worlds industrial output
has fallen by more than 40 per cent
since 1929 and-tsking into account
the increased population--is II per
cent below the preWar level, the out
put Of the census industry of the
Soviet Union, i. e., the most impor-
tant industries, has increased 334.5
per cent as compared with 1928, /. e.,
precisely in the period Of the world
economic crisis. While fascist Italy
has fallen back from the sixth to the
seventh place in the industrial out
put Of the world, the Soviet Union
has oyertaken the most advanced cap
italist countries England, Germany,
Franco and has moved up from the
fifth to the second place, immediate
ly behind the United States. In the
Soviet Union there are no idle fac
tories In the course of the Five
Year Plan alone, 1900 new works
were set going Including the newly
constructed works since 1925, the
number of new enterprises amounts
TO more than $500.
In addition to abolishing crises, the
Soviet Union has also, finally done
away with unemployment. 1t is not
only the one country where there is
no crisis, but it Is also the only coun-
try without unemployment. 1t may
be that there are tremendous diff
culties to overcome in the Soviet
Union, it may be that people stand
in queues outside Of the provision

and at the tramWay stopping places,
but one will seek in vain for people
Queuing up outside the workshops
and the labor exchanges in search of
work.
The flve-year plan has complete
ly done away with unemployment"
says Comrade Morrow, the manager
Of the Moscow Labor Exchange.
I'm the year 1928, we still had 241,-
765 unemployed in Moscow, but
this figure rapidly declined with
the realization Of the great Plan
At our Labor Exchange we felt the
direct effect of the work Of econo-
mic construction. We no longer

yelled criticism, 1t is not with saving
Marxisin from dogma that Thomas is
concerned, but with misinterpreting
revolutionary Marxism to reduce it
to a platform Of opportunism for
social fascism to stand on.
Mr.. Thomas actually rejoices that
to-day - years after his Marks
death, the government Of Great
Britain itself has twice been held
by a party which acknowledges its
intellectual indebtedness to him
Thomas, the leader OF the militant
Socialists, mouther of sympathy. for
the Soviet Union, omits all mention
of the proletarian State in connec-
ton with the realization of the teach
ings of Marx, but selects as his model
the traitor government of Macdonald
and Snowden, the names from which
he endeavors to free himself when
confronted by workers with the
charge of their treachery but which
are to him symbols Of brotherhood in
the common betrayal of the working
class.
The Socialist Party is ideologically
bankrupt. It's determination with the
capitalist class has gone far enough
for a bourgeois guest artist to be
invited to perform in its mock Cere-
mony Of conlmemorating Karl Marx.

for jobs But the exact contrary
is the case. Just see for yourselfl"
The Labor Exchange register fur
nishes clear information on this
point: in the months Of December,
1882, and January, 1888, there was a
demand at the Labor Exchange for
50,435 workers, but it was only pos
sible to supply 4O,529 To the short
age Of 10000 workers there was ad-
ded in February, new demands for
workers amounting in all to 1852,
including 16,400 lumbermen for the
coal district situated near Moscow,
5000 miners for the Don Basin, 26 900
workers for industrial enterprises in
the Urals. Moscow's demands in
cluded 1000 workers and employees
for the central telegraph Office, 1000
workers for the "Krasnyi Bogatyr'
(Red Hero rubber shoe factory 1000
workers for the Moscow Garment
Manufacturing Trust. The Moscow
Street Car Administration already
demanded in January, 5000 workers;
at the beginning Of March only TOO
had been sent And that is the
situation in the whole country. In
fact, in those districts where big new
construction work is being carried on,
there is a still greater shortage of
workers. In Magnitogorsk last au-
tuInn, $4,000 workers were required,
but only a few thousand could be
obtained.
Occasional reductions Of the mum
Der of workers and clerks in some
works and Offices have nothing in
common with the wholesale disnis-
sails in the undertakings in the CAPT
talist countries. They mean nothing
else but a systematic regulation and
distribution Of the available labor
power to those places where it is
most needed.
At a time when, in the capitalist
world, there are 40 million unemploy-
ed and the number Of those out-of-
work is increasing every day, the
Soviet Union has completely abolished
unemployment. This is an indisput-
able, a tremendous success Of So
cialist planned economy, which is
possible only under the rule of the
working class and the toiling peas
antry. That is a victory of world
historical Importance, victory Of
Marxism in practice. where it is 100
per cent yictoriousl

Greater Than Ever ;

The total national debt of the
people Of the United States is now
greater than their total national
wealth. This Is revealed in a report
issued by the Remington Rand Com
pany. Their analysis shows that the
total wealth is 1873 billion dollars,
while the total debt is 141 billion
dollars. This means that the wealth
of the people and the future income
from this wealth is now wholly mort
gagged. This means that the creditors
to whom payment is due on the
total national debt have a complete
claim on the future income to be
created from this wealth. Some of
the figures OF the creditors claims

1. The Land Where There Is No
Crisis and No Unemployment.
CBy our Special Correspondent in
Moscow
The fiftieth anniversary of the
death of Karl Marx the great founder
of scientific socialism, occurs at a
time of struggle against Marxism I'M
precedented in history. The acuter
the class antagonists become, and
the more threatening the rising revo-
lutionary wave becomes for the boT-
geoisie, the more savage and ruth
less does their fight become against
MsrXism, the more aggressive their
attacks on the working class, and the
more INSCRIPTIONS their lying incite-
ment against the Soviet Union, the
only country in which MarXism- Len
inism has become a living fact. 1t
is. therefore, not by chance that pre-
cisely at the present time, the most
eminent" defenders of the capital
list system Of exploitation, not to men
ton their numerous underlings, are
engaging in attacks on the Soviet
Union. Karl Kautsky, whom the
chairman of the Second Interna-
tional addresses as reverend Master
in the Left" Austro- Marxist journal

war-cry, "The enemy is in Moscow
Some time later he was joined by
the fascist chancellor of Germany
and "Marxist slayer" Adolf Hitler
who declared in a broadcast speech
delivered on March End:
''Marxism in practice has proved
to be the best refutation of Marx
ism in theory. l should like to
see it where it has been 100 per
cent, victorious, where it holds I'M
divided sway"
This would, in fact be very useful
Such an examination would, it is
true, yield quite different results from
those announced to us by Hitler, the
capitalist hireling and leader Of the
brown shirts. In his speech Hitler
repeated all the old anti Bolshevist
lies that have been put into circu-
lation during the past Is years but
he was careful not to say a single
word about the actual conditions ex-
isting in the Soviet Union. In the
Soviet Union, the periodical crises

Having won their fight to march to
the palace, the workers turned back,
and marched through the proletarian
district, Tondo. Women were in the

rested workers from the hands of the
police. At the Plaza Moriones, a for
hidden mass meeting was held. The

that the masses intended to march

Follows Railroad Organization"
Just as thousands of small banks,
with billions of deposits have been
wiped out; and as unpaying railroad
units are to be strapped and the
whole rail traffic placed in the hands
Of the big finance capitalists, so the
thousands of small independent in
dustrial units will be wiped out, their

further centralized under domination
Of the war-mongers.
Thus, this latest move, like all
others, is frontal attack upon the

same time destroys thousands of
former prosperous industrialists.
The closing of the banks in thou

Interior and Labor, the latter Flip
inc bourgeois misleader, joined in this
refusal and the Manila press joined
in a concert of provocational attacks
on the proposed hunger action. The

tain that "the unemployed here could

that the Filipino and American land
