great tasks of Soviet agriculture will
be solved through the intensification
of the struggle against the remnants
of the class enemy, and the strength

New Inventions and Discoveries
Inspired by the achievements of

art and culture are making further
notable contributions to the building
up of socialism New inventions by
Soviet techniciaus. and new dis

Living Standards Rise
The first May Day of the second
Pyatiletza will also be characterized
by further improvement in the living
conditions Of the toiling masses. The
shortage of manufactured goods in
common use begins to disappear with
greater quantities Of merchandise
available to the population. The de-
partment stores In Moscow advertise
in their spring sales a large variety
Of goods, at prices which have come
down by fifty per cent. Provision
stores run by factories continue on
the increase and are improving their
ration of foodstuffs. Barring a
draught, or other natural calamity,
the new harvest bids fair to replenish
the supply Of grain and other agri-
cultural products. and undo the SER

Imports More Than Tripled.
Pravda compares the nature of

Pravda says that the nature of Soviet
imports helped the industrial produc-
ton Of the U. S. s. r. rise 3.4 times
as high as in pre-reYolutionary years.
Even now, Pravda continues, the
more sensible British conservatives
are saying that the Russians will
be able to do without us and Russian
purchases here if we introduce i'm
pediments for them. Our market
will go to Englsnd's commercial com

British Tories wish to break off all
relations with the Soviet Union and
attempt to organize a. united front
for imperialist attack against the
country of the Soviets. The embargo
is the first step, but the farce played
by the die-hards is pitiful. Our raw
materials are necessary to Britain,
and prohibition Of their Importation
will strike at British industry. We
can purchase the necessary machin-
cry equipment everywhere. British
business circles are already reckon
ing the number of plants they will
have to shut down, as well as the in

The growth of the Soviet Union
is opening up tremendous prospects
for or foreign trade, Participation
n this trade depends upon the SEN
sible business circles in every coun-
try.
IxveStia, writing on the same sub
ject, says: 1.-THE manifold growth of
our economy fully refutes the wrong
ideas that the U. S. S. r. wants to
isolate itself from the world market.
On the contrary, the industrializa-
ton Of the country has created a
new foundation for the widest de-
velopment of economic connections
between the Soviet Union and other
countries. We are successfully solv-
ing the problems of our liberation
from foreign economic dependence,
but at the same time ever-neW de-
nlands arise in the Soviet Union. We
are becoming an increasingly i'm
pOrtant consumer in the world
market.
The monopoly OF foreign trade is
q lever with whose assistance the
proletarian state helps to further the
development Of foreign trade. We
shall not give up the foreign trade
monopoly any more than any other
bastion Of the Socialist fortress.

their books torn to pieces. without

Wen soon knock the Communism

For five days and five nights the
Storm Troops had been doing their
best to drive Communism out Of them
in every possible way.
One Of the chief ways in which
the spirit Of the commissioned
officer, now awakened from the dead,
expressed itself was as follows: the
workers had been compelled to ex-
ercise in the courtyard, TO throw
themselves in the mud and Jump
up again at the word of command,
again and again; each time their
strength failed they were spurred on
with sticks and whips, made to fall
down and jump up again until they
lay there so completely unconscious
that ne blow from stick or whip could
bring them to their senses.
They were obliged to line up every
day and, their arms raised in the
fascist salute, to shout hour after
hour in chorus: 'rhree cheers for
our victorious Chancellor Hitler!''
Anyone who did not stretch his arm
faulty enough, anyone who did not
shout Justify enough, was subjected
to kicks and blows. The text of an
other slogan was: What were we
yesterday? Communists. What shall
we be tomorrow? National socialists.
Hmrah!"
They were also made to recite the
Lords Prayer in unison. In the bar
rack-rooms other ceremonies took
place. The prisoners were made to

trousers and bend over table; they
were then beaten with sticks until

Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the Com
munist Party Of Germany, Is soon to
be moved to the concentration camp
in the former Sonneburg penitentiary,
which already contains 800 political
prisoners. This means that the Fas-

the Rsichstag, as only prisoners un-
der preventive arrest are detained in
concentration camps. but not those

The failure OF the NaEl govern

the international protest campaign

MOSCOW, U,SSR., April pa
recent conference of the Udarniks
shock brigaders) Of the Donbas coal
area Signalled a new rising tide Of
creative effort in the coal industry,
promising further impressive in
crease in coal output, with q conse-
quent increase of production in met
talurgy and other branches OF So
Wet industry In its effects the Don
bas conference is comparable to the
Congress of Kolhozes which has al
eady animated the Soviet country
side with a splendid burst of enthu-
siasm. Already at this early stage
OF the spring sowing there is no
doubt about the fact that q new turn
has been made in Soviet agriculture.
On April 10 the total area soyn in
the spring campaign was three times
as much as on the same date last
wear. Instead Of 1857, 700 hectares IN
1852, the area sown to April Is this
yesr amounts TO 1o,se2 900 hectares.

I've farms A great number of Kol-

by the majority OF kolhozniks. The
simple formula Of The who will not
work, neither shall he eat" has been
translated into concrete acts of eff
ficlency and organization. Far from
refusing to report for work, as hap
pened last year, kolhozniks were anx-
ious to put in as many "workdays'
as possible. realizing that their in
