WARNS THAT j. s.
is LOSING VAST
MARKET IN USSR
Soviet Union Never
Defaulted on a Cent,
Ex-Sen. Points Out

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. g.
Warning the United States that Eu-
ropean countries are competing fe-
verishly for the trade orders of the
Soviet Union, former Senator Brook
hart, now of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, said today that
this country is facing the loss of ire
mendous markets in the Soviet Union
He said. MY investigation proves
that the Soviet Union is a good risk
Since coming into power they have
imported $4,000 900 900 worth of for
eign goods and exported $3.50, 900, 900
Of their own. And they have never
defaulted one cent Right now l
could sell them 100000 bales of cot
ton if I could give them the credit
the Europeans are giving them. With
in the next five years estimate that,
given normal credit we could easily
sell them $500 000,0 900 of our products,
and this is lot of money in times
like these"
Brookhart'S remarks we're occas-
stoned by the expected arrival of 40
Soviet experts in this country to sur
vey the market for cotton, industrial
equipment, automobiles, and railroad
supplies.

capitalism.
And at the same time that this
statistical report comes from Wash
ington, comes the news from Ger
many that Hitler is making a drive
to get all women back into the
home"
Says the Fascist Hitler, We must
put women back into the home and
men back on the land. We do not
want women workers"
This is the voice of Hitler, repre-
sentative of capitalism that is dy-
ing and has become reactionary and
rotten. Capitalism exploits women
in the factories even more ruthlessly
than it does men workers. But when,
capitalism, strangling in its contra
dictions, cannot use all the produc-
tive forces, then it tries to go back
to the ignorance and backwardness
Of the Middle Ages. 1t tries to fasten
upon the women of the working class
the slavery of the kitchen. 1t tries
to thwart the development of women
as human beings, seeing in working
class women only household drudges
and breeders Of workers and soldiers.
Against the hypocrisy of the cap
italist sanctity Of the home which
does not exist under capitalism, and
against the kitchen slavery of working

Of the home" He showed that under
capitalism the workers home is moth
ing but breeding place for the COM
modity-labor power.
In the Communist Manifesto. Marx
and Engels wrote:
"The capitalist class, wherever IL
it has got the upper hand, has put
an end to all feudal, patriarchal,
idyIlic, relations. 1t has resolved
personal worth into exchange
value"
Further on in the same immortal
Manifesto, they wrote
THE proletarian Is without prop
erty; his relation to his family has
no longer anything in common with
bourgeois family relations"
And finally, Marx and Engels, with
superb truth and force, declare:
THE bourgeois claptrap about
the family and education, about the
hallowed relations between the par
ent and child, become all the more
disgusting, the more by the action
OF modern industry, all family ties
among the workers are torn asun-
der, and their children transformed
into simple articles of commerce"

BY MILTON HOWARD.

A slim report has just been issued
by the Women's Bureau at Washing
ton. D. c. 1t is dry technical re-
port, full of forbidding looking sta
tistics. just looking at it you wouldn't
think much of it.
Yet tucked away in its pages is a
startling fact. The report says that
survey just completed shows that
there are thousands Of jobless, home
less, penniless women rowing through
out the United States. The govern
ment report says with the insane
preciseness Of bureaucratic gov
eminent office trying to defend cap
italisnl that there are now 9,769
homeless women in the United States.
They went around all the dumps,
into the Hoovervilles, and around the
railroad freight yards counting them.
But the truth is that there are
many times ten thousand homeless
women roaming over the United
States.
The crisis has smashed the homes
OF hundreds Of thousands of working
class families. 1t has revealed to the
women and girls of the working class
what is behind the capitalist hypo-
crisy of the "sanctity of the family"
If you can't produce profit for the
capitalist class you are nothing, junk,
g tramp, a hobo, worthless. Even
when you are woman.
The founder of the First Interna-
tlonal and the father of Scientific
Socialism, Karl Marx, ripped to
pieces the fraud and hypocrisy of the
capitalist drivel about the "sanctity

class women, we must enscribe or
our banners these words of Lenin:
THE womens labor movement
has the task of struggling for the
economic and social equality of
women, and not only formally. To
draw women into social productive
work, to tear her away from the
household slavery, to liberate her
from subordination to the dulling
and despised work of the kitchen,
of the nursery and the eternal sur
roundipgs of the kitchen-this is
the main task"
In the Soviet Union, this task has
been accomplished. The women oil
the working class are no longer de-
spised slaves of the kitchen. They
share equally with men the work, the
responsibilities Of building socialism
in the factories, on the farms, in the
schools.
For the first time in history the
working class woman has reached he,
full stature as a human being with
full and equal rights.
Social equality, maternity insur-
ance, full opportunity to develop all
the potentialities for achievement
and growth, this is the position Of
the woman in the land of the Pro-
letarian Dictatorship.
Meanwhile, thousands of workers
families are wrecked by the crisis
And ten thousand working class
homeless women roam the country in
the United States, land of capitalist
hypocrisy about the 'sanctity of the
women and the home.y

the Red Army and the Soviet dis

Dissatisfaction In 10th Route Army
The 10Th Route Army put up g
heroic fight against the japanese

HITLER REJECTS
FRENCH, ENGLISH
NOTE ON AUSTRIA
Rebukes Intervention
in -Anti-Dollfuss
Actions

BERLIN, Aug. Germany has
sharply rejected the notes of protest
of Great Britain and France against
Nazi propaganda activities in Austria.
despite the fact that the notes were
delayed and considerably toned down
before being presented to the German
Foreign Office yesterday.
The Nazis declared that mixing
in the German-Austrian impasse is
inadmissible, and declared that its
actions against Chancellor Dollfus of
Austria do not infringe on the Four
Power Pact.
Italy refused to join France and
England in the rebuke, and merely
made an informal verbal admonition.
LONDON, Aug. 8.-Great Britain
looks on the German response to its
note regarding Austria as a defiance,
it is reported here.
The English newspapers reflect this
view, and call Germany's actions a
serious threat to peace.
