Example Encourages Millions
Under Fascisrn."
Kaganovich and Ord jonikid2e re-
ceived a tremendous ovation when
they appeared. '"This second half of
the plan means our independence
from foreign importations, but it does
not mean isolation" Kaganovich de-
clared. He expressed the hope that in
the future world of socialist countries
each country will specialize in its
own best products.
''But today we are still surrounded
by capitalist countries, each competing
with each other. While one starves,
the other is destroying food. The
crisis is pushing each capitalist coun-
try to ever greater isolation and arm
amentS.
"It is not enough for us to have
political power. We must have the
factories and industry which make
that power strong.
Warning to Enemies of U.S.S.R.
"Our example is encouraging MIL
lions who are suffering in the grip
of Fascism. Tomorrow they will be
victorious, and following the path
which we have blazed."
1.-THE successes of this factory are
typical of the whole industry of the
Soviet Union" said Ordjonikidze.
I'm a few days we celebrate the SIX
tenth anniversary of the October
Revolution. These sixteen years are
whole epoch of new society, reared
by new kind of man.
1--WE declare to the whole world
that we are peacefully working. We
give the peasant tractors instead Of
his wooden plow. But, gentlemen Of
the Far East or West, don't interfere
with our peaceful labor, or you will
find the whole millions of our people
rally as one man, every worker II de-
fend his factory, every collective far.
