Marshal Liang at Peiping.
81 most firmly denounce the re-
dictionary Chinese Kuomintang gov
eminent and all reactionary Chinese
bourgeoisie leaders, who at the be-
hest of the impeTialisJs are trying to
stifle the liberation movement of the
Chinese masses. You are now tor
turing my friend and comrade, Huang
Ping!
IT have known Huang Ping per-
sonally for a number of years and
know him to be an honest and fifth
full leader in the struggle to liberate
the Chinese masses. But not only
this. Huang Ping is one of the most
courageous leaders of the interna-
tional labor movement and stands in
the forefront of the struggle for the
liberation of the toilerS of the world.
I met Huang Ping in 1929 at the
World Congress of the League Against
Imperialism and was elected a mem
Der of its Executive Committee, of
which Huang Ping is one of the most
outstanding members. With my re-
sponsibility to the working class
movement I make most emphatic
denunciation Of the Imprisonment
and torture of Huang Ping and call
upon all working class organizations
to do likewise, especially the Negro
toilers. I feel with Huang Ping these
medieval tortures, the thrusting of
red hot irons through his body in
fruitless effort to stifle his courage.
Long Record of Struggle.
II know of the efforts of Huang
Ping from the great Hongkong strike
of 1925, which set China aflame and
set in motion the great revolutionary
movement of China. know of his
efforts in the great Canton Com
mune in 1927, which was destroyed
by the combined forces Of American,
Japanese, British and French i'm
perialists, aided by the Chinese lack
eys of the Koumintang. Huang was
Peoples Comnissar of Foreign At
fairs of the Canton government.
Il know that Huang Ping has
played big role in the setting up
of the Soviet government in China
today, which, along with the support
of the Chinese Red Army of workers
and peasants and the revolutionary
labor movement, is the only force
that is leading China to freedom
The Chinese Soviets provide a great
object lesson for the oppressed colo
malls, the Indian masses, the Negro
toilers and all the colonial masses,
in their struggle against Imperialism.
Comrade Huang Ping is leader of
the Red International of Labor
Unions, to which the T.U.U.L. is af-
filiated.
''It is for these things that they
are torturing our comrade, Huang
Ping. Every class-conscious worker,
every oppressed toiler demands the
freedom of Huang PingI I am call
ing upon all toilers to protest against
and demand the release of Huang

report Chat the cut VIII take place
on Jan. 16. The Republic Steel in
Youngstown plans to cut z per cent
on Jan. Is. Other plants are making
similar preparations. No doubt the
steel workers in their next pay en-
velope will already receive the cut
although no definite announcements
have been made. The Youngstown
Sheet and Tube has discontinued its
policy Of announcing wage-reduc-
tons. The workers just find their
pay envelopes short.
Various Ways of Putting Cut Over
Will the wage-cut be a sweeping
open general cut in the steel indus
try? This cannot be answered at the
moment. The Warren Steel Strike;
mass organized movements of IN
employed; the birth Of the new Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union
are determining factors. These ac-
tons during the last period may re-
suit in steel trust strategy. The
wage-cuts may be put over depart
ment to department; by closing
down the plant and rehiring the
men at new wage rate; a system
Of hiring new men and firing the old
men; the use Of the A. F. Of L. slid
ing scale agreement; and scores of
other methods which have reduced
the wages of the steel workers to a
starvation level.
Need Mass United Front
Immediate preparations must be
started for the widest possible
UNITED FRONT MOVEMENT to
fight against the new proposed wage
cut. This is not only the task of the
Steel Union but Of the whole working
class movement. Every worker, en-
ployed and unemployed, every work
ers' organization in the steel dis
tricts and towns must make this the
main point of discussion at their
meetings. Be it dramatic club or
unemployed organization there must
be place on the agenda for a dis
cussion on how to organize to defeat
the new wage-cut. Women and chill
dren, A. F. of l.. and revolutionary
unions; employed and unemployed
must be drawn into this united front
movement. We must win over the
professionals and small storekeepers
to support the movement. All of them
are effected by the constant lower
ing of the living standards Of the
steel workers. Anti-wage cut commit
tees should be built in the mills
which gets the direct support Of the
unemployed. Mass delegations should
be organized in steel towns to pro-
test to the city councils demanding
that the agents of the steel trust go
on record against the wage cut and
provide relief for the jobless.
For Real Discussion of Demands.
A discussion of slogans and de-
mands in this campaign has already
started. There is a danger, however,
that bureaucracy and self-appoint-
ed doctors" will stiffle the discus

of victorious onslaught of the first
Fiye-Year Plan"
A great deal still remains to be
done, he said. Great difficulties in
side and outside the borders Of the
UlS.SR. still must be overcome for
the successful accomplishment Of the
second Five-Year Plan But let our
class enemies both in the USSR and
abroad say what they please and re-
peat the twaddle of all kinds of borlr-
geois degenerates; the Soviet Union
will use against them the victories OF
the first Five-Year Plan for the fur
Their advance of socialism. And in
doing that, said Molotov, we pledge
that our second Five-Year Plan, a
Fiye-Year Plan of struggle for the
creation of a classics Socialist society
will have still greater international
significance, will prove to be a still
more effective reflection of the his
toric destiny of the International pro-
letariat than even the tremendous
successes Of the first Five Year Plan.
After pointing out that during these
ySoAS bAAO NONACb OAA4OAl was 1GpSdbSu~
ly in danger of imperialist attack,
while a ceaseless economic war has
been waged against it in different for
eign markets, Molotov concluded:
"The workers and toilers of ths
countryside were able to accomplish
what they did during these years
only because of their revolutionary
enthusiasm and heroism in struggle,
strikingly expressed by the mass
growth of the shock brigade move
ment and socialist competition. Only
the correct policy Of the Party and
its struggle for iron discipline and
the Bolshevik unity of its ranks
secured the triumph Of the first Five
Year Plan.
For the fulfilment of the prob
lens of the current year, the first
year of the second Five-Year Plan,
and especially for the Improvement
of labor efficiency in industry, the
improvement of the quality of indus
trial production and the increase in
the productivity of the collective and
state farms, we must by our work
secure a still greater and more ac-
tive mobilization Of the masses
around and under the leadership Of
our Party. A tremendous and glor-
ious task has been accomplished.
Forward on the feminist path to the
victory of the second Five-Year
Planw

and technical forces a gigantic step
forward has been taken. In the elm
nation of illiteracy the Five-Year
Plan produced tremendous achieve
mentS. Quite recently more than
half the population Of the Soviet
Union was unable to read or write;
now less than 10 per cent are illit-
crate The number Of students in
the workers faculty schools increased
nine times during the Five Year Plan,
and the number in the factory
schools increased five times. The
number OF students in the technical
schools became five times greater,
and increased three times in the uni
versities and higher technical schools.
Passing on to further discussion
of agricultural economy, Molotov
again emphasized that the chief at
tention is to be concentrated on the
problems of increased productivity.
The radical reconstruction of agri-
culture has already been accom-
plished; at the end Of the first Five
Year Plan the principal instrument
in harvesting cereals has become, in
stead of the horse, the tractor COM
bine. A particularly important role
in the technical reconstruction OF
agricultural economy is being played
by the tractor stations. These sta
tions have been in existence three or
four years and already their number
has reached $500 Not only their
technical and industrial role is grow
ing rapidly, but also their political
role in the village. This creates fav-
orable conditions for the development
of the struggle for improving labor
efficiency in agriculture and, above
all, for the total fulflment Of the
tasks connected with the improve
nent of the productivity of the col
lective and state farms
Supplies To Be Improved
On the question of the goods turn
over between city and country and
the improvement of supplies for the
workers, Molotov emphasized the fact
that the u. S. s. r. is constantly in
creasing the growth in the output of
urgent commodities and that in this
respect 1888 will be an important step
forward. In 1888 capital construction

alleging that a retreat" was being
made. One representative Of these
ideas is Zinoviev. 1t is characteristic,
said Molotov, that such ideas are also
expressed by the renegade TroGsky.
Recently T'rotsky offered his estina-
ton of the economic achievements OF
the Soviet Union. His chief slogan
was: the Bolshevik policy Of advance
went too far and therefore retreat
was unavoidable Trotsky suggests
that we delay one year before starting
the second Five Year Plan Thus the
source which fed zinoviev and others
is quite obvious.
However, the Bolshevik Party has
its own course, declared Molotov.

stand just what effects initiation"
would have upon the well being of
the masses. This is what I think.
To initiate money would cheaper it
so that the purchaser would have to
give more dollars for what he was
purchasing. The workers wages
would remain the same and since
the dollar was cheapened he could
buy less with his dollar. His pur-
chasing power would be cut, there
fore the farmer could not sell as
much of his farm produce. The
farmers income in dollars would be
no more than it had been before. He
would be able to sell less of his farm
produce and would have to pay out
more in dollars for that which he
purchased.
Initiation for the big bosses would
be slick way of cutting wages and
a means by which they could make
a greater profit off the farmers. In
flation would mean greater impover-
ishment and misery for the masses
and more profit for the robbing cap

political rights for revolutionary
trade unions and political parties"
Dunno stated further that he was
representing, not a forteign govern
ment, but the workers whose inter
ests the A. f. of L. bureaucrats con-
slider foreign to the interests of Wall
st. capitalism, and which they are
trying to protect no matter what the
cost is to the workers.
Expose Ala. Terror
Dunno said that all facts regarding
the Trade Union Unity League, and
the Communist Party are well known
to the A. F. of L. officials of the De-
partment of Justice, Black, obviously
laboring under great strain as a re-
suit of the lengthy and detailed eX-
posture of the Talapoosa atrocities in
his own state of Alabama as part of
the general offensive of Wall Street
government, asked Dunno to give
names of his informants relative to
the conditions of Negroes in Alabama.
Dunno stated that in view of the
fact that representatives Of the at
torneys have been Jailed and Negro
share croppers just threatened with
kidnapping and death if they appear,
he would not give names till the sit
uation becomes less sharp.
Dunno told Black that he could
later have sources of information, but
that the facts have been established.
Democrats Lead Attack
Dunno stated that the drive against
the workers has not diminished, but
has strengthened since the beginning
of the fourth year Of the crisis, with
the election of the Democrat Roose-
welt.
AS evidence of this fact, Dunno
sighted the proposal of governor Ely
of Massachusetts, to suspend all lab
Dor legislation in order to meet south
ern competition.
The democratic government of IL
linois, Dunno continued, has sent five
companies of troops to protect the
interests of the Peabody Coal Co.,
against the hungry, striking miners,
and that this same democratic gov
eminent has established reign of
terror with the wholesale falling of
"A miners on charge of murder for
defending themselves and their fam
lilies against the nurderous onslaught
of the Lewis thugs and company gun
men. He listed further the attack
on the wages Of the rail workers and
steel workers. No protest to any of
these actions or proposals have been
made by Roosevelt.
Demand No Pay Cuts
Dunno exposed the endorsement Of
the share-the-work by Teagle and
Green and branded the Black Bill as
the legalized extension of the vicious
system. He declared that the TUUL
will support any bill for shorter work
day and week, providing it would be
stipulated that there would be no
reductions in the total income of the
workers, and providing the Bill car
ried minimum wage law for all the
workers.

the sowing area and the increase OF
its productivity. Concrete problems
have been set with this perspective IN
view.
The state budget income will in
crease from 30,000,000,000 rubles in
1882 to 30,70o, 10000 in 1888. Regard
ing the supply of industrial goods IN
the city and country and the supply
of foodstuffs for workers and en-
ployees, attention Will be turned
toward further improvement in TINS
respect, particularly by improving or
ganization. The funds for industrial
goods and foodstuffs will be inceas-
ing considerably in 1888, while the
number of workers and employees in
industry will increase only by 2 per
cent.
Concerning cultural construction,
the second Five Year Plan provides
rates of growth considerably in ex-
cess of those in agricultural economy.
Improvement of Labor Efficiency
Discussing industry further, Molo-
toy emphasized that the main object
in 1888 is the improvement OF labor
efficiency. Citing number Of quota
lions from Lenin to the effect in
crease in labor efficiency brought
about by the workers themselves is
already the beginning of Communism,
Molotov pointed out that in the en-
tire period of the first Five Year Plan
labor efficiency in industry increased
40 per cent. How difficult this was
may be seen from the fact that
Stuart Chase, the American bourgeois
liberal economist, considered it a par
ticular achievement Of the so-caned
prosperity period of the United States
that labor efficiency increased rs per
cent in five years. In England, in the
five-year period preceding the crisis,
1924-1929, labor efficiency increased
IL per cent; Germany, the most tech
nically advanced country in Europe,
in the whole of the period from 1918
to 1881 achieved only q per cent
increase.
Consequently, said Molotov, We can
conclude that the rate Of increase in
labor efficiency that we achieved in
the first Five Year Plan Is beyond
anything the capitalist countries can
do. Further, Molotov stated, it is in
dispensable now to concentrate the
chief attention on the improvement
in the quality of production.
The first Five Year Plan, Molotov
declared, created the basis for the
complete technical reconstruction of
the national economy Of he U. S. S.
r. However, this technical recon-
struction is still inadequately utilized.
Therefore, it is indispensable to de-
velop the Bolshevist manner of fight
ing for the mastery Of the new enter
prises, Of the new technique, for the
Improvement of labor organization
and for the reinforcement of labor
discipline.
