Mass lmpovershment of Farmers, Destruction

Two World Systems, Socialism and Capitalism

In Japan also a sudden diminution of
the boom has taken place. In Ger
many the crisis is steadily deepening
The expected development of the
crisis into the stage of depression is
not taking place; on the contrary,
the end of one CONFUSION of the crisis
means the beginning Of the next and
perhaps still sharper.
Results Of First Five-Year Plan
Parallel with this development in
the capitalist countries we see in the
Soviet Union steady and uninter-
rupted growth of production on all
fields. The results of the First Five
Year Plan placed the Soviet Union:
First in the world in the produc-
ton of tractors.
First in the world in the production
OF agricultural machinery.
First in the world in the production
of combines.
First in Europe in the production
of engineering machinery.
First in Europe in the production
Of pig-iron.
Third in the world in the produc-
ton of electrical energy.
First place in Europe and second
in the world in the production of
petroleum.
First in the world in the production
of peat.
Fourth in the world in the produc-
ton of coal, and
Fourth in the world in the pro-
auctions Of the chemical industry.

Unprecedented Harvest Is Fruit of Bolshevik
Policy; Peasant Masses Realize Collective
Farming Is Only Way to Prosperity $3.50

OF the collectivised peasants is about
to take place, and it is clear that the
collective peasant will draw the only
possible conclusion from the improve
ment in his material situation, namely
that the collective form of agriculture
Is the victorious socialist form of
agricultural production. @s-es ~
Victorious Struggle Against KuIaks
The good harvest is the result of
the victorious class struggle against
the remnants of the kulak class. In
this struggle against the kulaks the
proletarian dictatorship, with the sup
port of the collective peasants, has
won a new big victory.
We should not have been able to
achieve this tremendous success on
the field of agricultural production
in the Soviet Union If we had not
received the support of our socialist
industry and the magnificent results
of the First Five-Year Plan in agri-
culture. Without the tractors, With
out the combines, without the other
agricultural machinery, without the
tremendous growth in the productive
forces Of socialist agriculture, with
out the assistance of the chemical
Industry, we should not have such an
excellent harvest this year. Z,
Socialist industry has the lead in
the Soviet economic system, and So
cialist industry has now led Soviet
agriculture along the straight, road
which leads to success. We shall still
experience difficulties. New problems
Will continue to arise and we shall
have to deal with tfsem, but the de-
cisive victory has already been. won,

industry and thanks to the victories

half-year of the Second Five-Year
plan show that the Communist Party,
the Soviet Power, and the working
class of the Soviet Union, under the
firm leadership of Comrade Stain,
have taken the way pointed out to
us by Lenin, the path Of socialist VIC
tory.
The tremendous results and the
tremendous victories were won in a
constant struggle against the Fright"
and "Left-Wing" opportunists against
the Right" and Left Wing rene
gades. The Communist Party and the
working class of the Soviet Union are
rallying still more closely around the
feminist Central Committee of the
Party and around its leader, Comrade
Stain, who secured these victories by
the correct feminist policy.
Balance Favors Socialism
These tremendous results, these
tremendous victories could never
have been won without the steel-like
unity, without the steel-like Bolshe-
visit discipline Of the Party. The
Party is now conducting an internal
cleansing campaign; it Is cleansing
itself from the weak and vacillating
elements in order that the sharpest
weapon of the proletarian dictator
ship, the Bolshevist Party, shall be-
come still sharper and still stronger.
The Bolshevist Party has led the
working class of the Soviet IJnion m
to new victories, and now, on the
basis Of these victories, 1t is cleansing
its own ranks in order to become still
more powerful and to have still
greater fighting power, and still
greater capacity for action and man
euvring in new struggles for new
victories on the path to socialism.
The balance Of this first half-year
Of the second Five-Year Plan is very
favorable to socialism in the struggle
between capitalism and socialism.

crease OF customs duties, despite all
the efforts of the governments to
maintain prices, the prices of agri-
cultural goods are falling in almost
all capitalist countries, with the ex-
ception of Germany and, more re-
Gently, the United States.
Agrarian Crisis Under Capitalism
1t has not been possible to hold
up this fall Of agricultural prices, al
though the speed of the drop has
been diminished. The agrarian crisis
is 1ntensifying more and more, and
under the ruins Of capitalist agricul-
ture millions and millions of peasants
and small farmers are being buried
and ruined. Crisis, impoverishment
and ruin, these are the basic tenden-
cies of agricultural development in
the capitalist countries. The feverish
attempts made in the United States
10 overcome the agrarian crisis have
led only to further commissions of
the crisis. In France also the agra
rian crisis is deepening. In Germany
fascism is desperately attempting to
stave off the crisis of the junker and
kulak farms at the expense of the
toilers in town and country. In the
east and in the south east of Europe,
In the overseas countries and in the
colonial countries the agrarian crisis
Is deepening.
There is only one country in the
world today in which everything pos
sible is being done to sow more and
to reap more. There is only one
country in the world today which is
not experiencing an economic crisis.
And that country is the country of
the proletarian dictatorship.

1t is quite clear that the growth

BY MAGYAR

MOSCOW, u. S. S. r., Aug. 21.-
In the Soviet Union we shall have
this year not only good, but an ex-
traordinarily good, a magnificent har-
vest. 1t is, perhaps, no exaggeration
to designate this fact as one of the
most important, If not the most i'm
portant fact in world politics, this
year.
The Soviet Power, the dictatorship
OF the proletariat, has won a fresh
and tremendous victory in the sphere
OF the socialist Transformation of
agriculture; and this victory is being
realised In the good harvest. The old
peasants declare that there has never
been such a good harvest since the
year 1884. In the Soviet Ukraine. in
North Caucasus, in the Volga district
and also in the German Volga So
Wet Republic, the harvest yield is in
many places twice or two and half
times as big as 1t was last year.
Result Of CoIIectivisation
lt would be a great mistake to at
tribute this exceedingly big achieve
ment OF socialist Transformation of
agriculture solely to the climatic con-
ditions, which have been favorable on
the whole. The good harvest in the
Soviet Union is the result of the
collectivisation of agriculture, the
result Of the gigantic work of the
Party in consolidating and Bolshevis-
ing the collective farms; and the good
harvest will in turn become the cause
Of further strengthening OF the
collective farms.
We have good harvest this year
because the great mass of the peas
sntry realize that the collective farm
s, in fact, the only correct way to
prosperity. This conviction again will
llso serve further to promote the de-
'elopment of the collective farms.
A tremendous advance towards a
urther improvement in the situation

beautiful in Chinese garb. and en-
