USSR FOREIGN
TRADE MONOPOLY
IS REAFFIRMED
3 u lid S Socialism,
Would Not Work
Under Capitalism

MOSCOW, April 23.-In connection
with the 18th anniversary of the es-
tablishment of the monopoly of for
eign trade the Soviet newspapers are
publishing a number of congratula-
tory messages to workers in the for
eign trade system of the U. S. S. r.
The Central Committee of the
Communist Party and the Council OF
Peoples Commissars of the R. S. F
S. R. say: The monopoly of foreign
trade, created under Lenin's direc-
ton, was and remains one of the
most powerful weapons in the con-
struction of socialism on the I'M
shakeable foundations of Soviet eco
nomy.
Assists Socialist Construction.
The problems solved by the system
Of foreign trade monopoly assists in
naturalization in the Soviet Union,
the socialist reconstruction of the
rural districts and the defense Of the
country of socialist construction from
capitalist surroundings. These prob
lens have been conquered by the toll
ers of the Soviet Union and the
workers in the Council of Peoples
Commissariat for Foreign Affairs.
The Council of Peoples Commits
sars Of the U.S.SR. appeals to work
ers in the Peoples Commissariat of
Foreign Relations to maintain firm
stand for the principle of the monop-
oily Of foreign trade. These workers
also received a message from LitYi-
nov saying: The monopoly Of foreign
trade has now become an object Of
envy and imitation on the part of
capitalist states, which in the throeS
Of the capitalist crisis are definitely
attempting to carry it out at least
partially.
Cannot Exist Under Capitalism.
''They do not understand says
Litvinov, that foreign trade monop-
oily can successfully fulfill it's func-
lions only in countries where private
properly has been done away with,
private trade and speculation has
been uprooted, and socialism is I'M
der construction"
The foreign trade workers also re-
ceiyed addresses from various other
organizations.
Win Honorary Orders.
BY resolution of the Central Exec
ut1Ye Committee Of the U.S.S.R. a
number of outstanding workers in
tne Peoples CommiSsariat of for
eisn trade were awarded the order

JAPAN OFFERS
PEACE; ATTACKS
France to Get Share in
Soviet RR Spells

TOKYO, April 23--At the moment
when the japanese announced that
their drive into China proper had
ended, General Kawahara launched,
a fierce attack on the Chinese posi-
tons southwest Of Kupeikow, pass
in the Great Wall SIS miles north of
Peiping. The Chinese had attempt
ed to recapture Kawahara's posi-
tions on Friday, and the new Japa-
nese attack is in the nature of a
counter offensive. Large losses have
been suffered on both sides.
The japanese announce that they
will form a neutrality zone" in all
the regions Of China proper which
they have captured. This they in
terpret to mean that any Chinese
forces entering the zone will be
bombed by Japanese planes, and if
this is unsuccessful, driven out by
Japanese infantry. Obviously, the
neutrality zone" was set up without
the preliminary of consulting China
The announcement that the Jap
anese drive is at an end, makes for
eign observers fear an imminent Jap
anese attack on Peiping and Tient-
sin. Colonel DrySdale, U. S. military
attache, hurried to Tientsin to confer
with the Chinese governor of Hope.
Province concerning defenses.
Japan has decided to restore her
Port Arthur naval base, in violation
Of the terms Of the Washington ARM
Conference Of 1922. Port Arthur will
become a secondary base serving the
second oversees squadron of the Jap
anese navy. This gives Japan q new
center for attacks on China and the
Soviet Union, and will provide mill
tary base for actions either against
Peiping and Tientsin or against Via
livestock and the Maritime Province.
PARIS, April 23.--France has re-
ceived the assurance from the Man
chukuo government that French in
terests will be consulted in the pirat-
ical campaign Of Japan against the
Chinese Eastern Railway. The
French have invested $500, 100000 in
the Chinese Eastern, and have re-
ceived no dividends since the Boil
shevik revolution. They are hence
keenly interested in the Japanese
acts of brigandage against the Sow
iet-owned line, and in case the Sow
let Union can be induced to sell t.
railroad for nominal sum are will
ling to be let in on the ground floor.
This Japanese plan of barefaced rob-
berry and blackmail is one of the ties
which united the French and Jap
anese governments in Far Eastern
policy.

ValIlngly rural QlSCflcCS OF
Pomerania, but Party work
was continued in spite of that.
The illegal district paper has ap-
peared in an issue of thousands Of
copies.
In Bielefeld Gin the Ruhr) the lille
gal local Communist Party paper,
"Rote Volkswacht," has appeared in
a 10-page issue, and its circulation
has risen from 300 to 1000 copies.
The Fascist terror, which is espe-
cially severe in the regions of Han
mover and Brunswick, has been I'M
able to suppress the work of the
Party there. In the town of Linden,
near Hanover, the workers disarmed
six storm troopers and hauled down
the Nazi flag. Communists pulled
down the Nazi flag from union head
quarters in the city of GoSlar, al
though the reforrnist union officials
tried to prevent this daring deed.
Anti Fascist Action Grows.
In Hanover IL trade unions voted
against the Fascist control of the
labor union movement. The workers
in the Piesteritz nitrogen works
forced the removal of Nazi special
police from the plant by passive re-
sistance. In the Gummi- Elbe plant
near Halle 200 young women workers
went on protest strike for half an
hour against the dismissal of the
chairman of the shop council.
A Nazi storm trooper and an auxil-
iary policeman called at the Selle g.
Eisler factory in Berlin to arrest two
members of the Revolutionary Trade
Union Opposition during working
hours. The workers threw the Fas-
cists out of the plant, and regular
policemen summoned to the scene
did not dare to arrest the two revo-
lutionary workers.
Red Gains In Shop Elections.
The Communists are continuing to
gain in the factory council elections,
reports from more factories coming
in daily. In the huge Maffei-
Schwartzkopff locomotive plant in
Berlin the Communist and Social
Democratic workers set up joint can
didates, who pulled 215 votes to 81
votes for the Nazis.
The Communist candidates topped
the poll in the Gutenberg clothing
factory in Berlin, getting 81 votes to
50 for the reformists and SO for the
Nazis. This is the biggest vote ever
polled by the Communists in this
factory.
In the Voss mine near Halle cleo
tons were held on March 49, The
Communist candidates got Ill votes,
compared with rs in 1882. The So
cial-Democrat vote was unchanged at
13l, while the -Nazis polled only IS
votes.
In the Bitterfeld aniline works the
Communists won seats in the coun-
Gil, with 5 seats for the refornnist
union and for the combined NaziS
and Stahlhelm.
The Communists polled so per cent
Of the total vote in the Premak plant
in Oberschoeneweide, a suburb of Ber-
lin. In the Wirchow metal works in
Berlin, the Communists won seats
to gained by the reformists.
The Nazis suffered severe defeat
even in the printing plant of the
arch-monarchist Berlin DeutSche
Tageszeitung. The Nazis polled only
81 votes, compared to 430 votes for
the trade union candidates.

NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN

A great deal is being said"about re-
lief for the unemployed in this coun-
try, and everyone of course wants to
help this unfortunate class of our citi-
zens and to put those who are jobless
back to remunerative work as soon as
possible. This is our first duty. There
are,it is said, about twelve million un-
employed people in the United States.
That is terribly large number and in
itself mute evidence of the necessity
for relieving the situation as fast as
possible.
But there are some facts which
ought not to be lost sight of. There
are thirty-eight million people in the
country who are still employed. They
must not be forgotten, either. And
one reason they must not be forgotten
is that it is on them that we must
count for support of any program to
relieve the unemployment situation.
The large army of the jobless must
have immediate help, and is getting
such help. The aid, however, and
this must not be forgotten, must come
from those fortunate ones who are
still employed. Even the federal gov
eminent cannot get money out of the
air. 1t must ease it by taxing those
who are still working.
In framing any program for the re-
lief of the unemployment situation,
and to put the idle back to work, we
must see to it that the Legislation is
sound and practical. If it is not
sound and practical; if money is vast
ed and the burden of taxes increased
there will be a further slump in
business and more increases in the
number of the unemployed. Depres-
sion feeds on itself. The greater the
burdens which private enterprise and
the individual citizen have to bear,
the greater stagnation, and the more
relief which is necessary. On the other
hand as budgets are balanced, tax
burdens lessened, confidence regained
there is quickening of the business
pulse which will mean unemployment
for the idle and less necessity for re-
lief Of the unemployed.
The best way back to normally is
business and employment is through
sane retrenchment and not through
impractical schemes which instead of
relieving the situation only add to the
troubles of those who are still carry
ing on and doing their best to help in
the present unpleasant situation.

seriously affected by the resulting
compensation and from Maine to Cali
fornia American producers raised
their voices in protest against the de-
moralization of local markets and in
dustries due to the depreciation of
foreign exchange. Two serious prob
lens were presented: first, the unfair
competition the American producers
were suffering from and second; the
loss in revenue to the Treasury by
decreased customs collections. The
most conservative estimate submitted
evidenced a loss of twenty million dol
lars in revenue annually under pres
ent foreign currency values.

with a fifty per cent ad valuation duty
entered the port of New York in 1880
at $4,86 plus $2.43, or landed cost
of 1929. With the pound at $3.40
plus the fifty per cent duty of $1.70,
the articles landed cost is $50, a
differential of $2.19.
what can the American producer
do to retain his share of the business?
Cheaper the product and reduce
wages. He must act on one or possibly
both of these alternatives unless he
throws up the sponge and quits. If
he follows the line of least resistance
and quits, that means another con-
tribution to the unemployment ira

UNITED STATES VICTIM OF
CHEAP FOREIGN MONEY.

The United States is already the
victim of cheap money-not of cheap
money made in America hut of the
deprecated currencies of foreign ma
tions which enables these nations to
undersell the American manufacturer
in his own market, despite the pro-
visions of our tariff laws, according to
an interesting article in the current
issue of the National Republic, The
author is former Congressman Frank
Crowther, of New York, and he saws,
in part:
Deprecated foreign currencies are
serving as stepladders to scale the
United States tariff wall. Several
bills were introduced in the first ses-
sion of the Seventy-second Congress:
H. R. 1857 by Mr.. Crowther. H. R.
1888 by Mr., Hawley and in the second
session, H. R. 1899 by Mr.. Hill. The
purpose of this proposed legislation
was to re-establish the tariff rates on
4iiiPOA 10 ChoI Hdu ueeIl IeuuceQ by de-
preciated foreign currencies. At the
public hearings held by the Ways and
Means Committee some fifty witness
es testified and twenty briefs were
filed.
"The opposition to the passage of
this remedial legislation came almost
entirely from the so-called converting
paper mills who were enjoying a ma
terial advantage by purchasing their
wood pulp from European countries
who had gone off the gold standard
and materially deprecated their cur
rencies.
"The industries hardest hit by de-
preciated currencies include pottery,
steel, rugs and carpets, toys, metal
novelties, salmon, tuna and sardine
canning, electric storage batteries, pig
iron, coke, anthracite coal, paper and
fibre, electric equipment and lamps,
and textiles of cotton, wool, silk, and
