FAsCIsM, DESPERATE STAND OF CAPITALISM

No wonder fascism now becomes
the most stylish commodity among
militant bourgeois politicians. I
speak not only of faScisrn in general,
but first Of all of faScism of the Ger
man type, which incorrectly calls it
self National Socialism, which the
most minute investigation finds 1t
impossible to discover in it even an
atom Of socialism.
In this connection the victory of
fascism in Germany should be con-
sidered not only as an indication Of
the weakness of the working class
and result of the betrayal of the
working class by social democracy
which cleared the path for fascism; it
must also be considered as an indi-
cation of the weakness of the bour-
geosie, as an indication that the
bourgeoisie, is no longer able to rule
by the old methods of parliamenta-
rism and bourgeois democracy, owing
to which it is compelled to resort in

which occurs the economic crisis,
about chronic utilization of in
dustrial enterprises, about chronic
mass unemployment, Interviewing the
industrial crisis with the agricultural
crisis, the absence of any tendencies
to any serious renewal of basic capital
foretelling the usual beginning of an
advance, etc. This clearly shows that
we are dealing with the transference
from the lowest point in the decline
OF industry, from the point of deep
est industrial crisis to depression, but
not to usual depression, but to de-
preston of special type, which does
not lead to new advance and bios
soIning of industry, but also does not
lead it back to the lowest point of
decline

SUCCESSES DUE TO SUPERIORITY OF SOCIALISM

How could these immense changes
come about during some three-four
years on the territory of an enor-
nous State with its backward tech
nique, with backward culture? Is
not this miracle? 1t would have
been a miracle, had the development
taken place on the basis of capitalism
and individual small-scale economy.
But it cannot be called a miracle if
it is considered that the development
took place on the basis of unfolding
socialist construction.
1t is evident that this gigantic ad-
vance could unfold only on the basis
Of the successful socialist construc-
ton, on the basis of the social labor
Of tens Of millions Of people, on the
basis of the advantages of the So
cialist system Of economy over the
capitalist and individual peasant sys-
tenn.
No wonder, therefore. that the ire
mendous advance in the economy
and culture Of the U.S.SR.. during
the period under report at the same
time Signified the liquidation of capt.
talist elements and the showing of
individual peasant economy into the
background.
When Socialist economy was first
introduced, Lenin said that in our
country there are elements of five
social economic systems: One, patri-
archial economy; two, small scale
commodity production; three, private
capitalism; four, state capitalism:
five, socialism. Lenin considered that
OF all these systems, socialism will
gain an upper hand in the long run,
We may. say now that first, third
and fourth social economic systems
exist no more, and the second social
economic system has been showed to
a secondary position, and that the
nth Social-economic System-Social-
iSt System-iS the undivided ruling
and single commanding force in our
entire national economy (thunderous
prolonged applauSe).
In this sum total is the basis for
the ffrmness of internal situation of
the U.S.S.R., the basis for strength
OF its advance in circumstances OF
capitalist enlightenment.
OF all the branches of national
economy, industry grew the fastest
during the period under report, that
is, beginning IN 1890, industry grew
more than double, and, compared
with pre-war level, it grew almost
four times.
While in 1918 the proportion of in
dustry in the gross production Of
national economy equalled 42.1 pei
cent. in 1888 it already equals 7O.4
per cent. This means that our coun-
try has firmly and definitely become
an industrial country.
OF decisive significance in the cause
Of industrialization is the growth
Of production of means of produc-
ton, in the general volume of the
development of industry. The pro-
portion of this item in the general
advance of industry became prepon-
derant. It grew during the period
under report from 48.5 per cent to So
per cent. In the general advance OF
industry machine construction has
been gaining leading role. The
proportion of machine construction
in the general total of heavy indus
try already exceeds 26 per cent.
This means that our industry is de-
veloping on a sound basis. and the key

its internal policies to terroristic
methods of ruling; as an indication
that it is no longer able to find way
out Of present conditions on the basis
of peaceful foreign policy. owing to
which it is compelled to resort to q
policy Of war.
OF course, there is no ground to
suppose that war could bring an &C
tual way out. In the contrary, it
must tangle the situation still more.
Moreover, it will unleash revolution
and will challenge the very existence
of capitalism in number of coun-
tries, as happened in the course of
the first imperialist war. And if, not
withstanding the experience of the
first imperialist war, the bourgeois
politicians, nevertheless seize at war
as one who is drowning Seizes at a
straw, that means that they have
become definitely tangled, have
reached a blind alley, and are ready
to fly headlong into the abyss.

were recently shouting, I speak about
the actual dumping practiced at pres
ent by nearly all civilized" states,
about which these brave and esteemed
deputies have sensibly maintained
silence.
It is also understandable that these
factors accompanying industrial crises,
and operating beyond the sphere of
production, could not in turn but in
influence the course of the industrial
crisis in the sense Of its deepening and
comphcating.
Such is general picture Of the
movement of the industrial crisis.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-01-29
SOVIET INDUSTRIAL GROWTH

Here are a few figures from official
sources, illustrating the movement of
the industrial crisis for the period
under report: The extent OF industrial
production in 1888 compared to 1929:
U.SS.R., 201.6 per cent; United States,
GAO per cent; Britain, 861 per cent;
Germany, $50 per cent; France, TIA
per cent.
Thus, during the period when basic
industry of capitalist countries show
ed an average decrease in the extent
Of their production by the end Of 1893,
in comparison with the 1929 level
amounting to 25 per cent or more,
me industry Of the Soviet Union grew,
during the same period by more than
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-01-29

decline, in 1888 it began to increase
somewhat. Taking the monthly figures
for 1882 and 1888, they show still more
the correctness of this conclusion be-
cause they show that industry in these
countries, in spite OF wavering during
1888, does not show a tendency to fall
to the level Of the greatest decline Of
Summer 1882.
What does this mean?
Seemingly it means that industry
in leading capitalist countries has all
ready reached a point of greatest de-
cline, to which 1t did not return dur
ing 1888.

dental districts, but In all, or nearly
all industrial countries, including
countries with fixed currencies. It is
evident that along with military, in
fationist coniuncture, there also has
taken place here the action of the In
ternal economic forces Of capitalism.
Capitalism has been able somewhat
to better its position in industry at
the expense Of the workers through a
policy Of utmost low prices for labor,
on food products, and partially on raw
material, at the expense Of the peas
antry Of the colonies and economically
weak countries by still further de-
creaSing the prices paid for the pro-
ducts Of their labor, chiefly on raw
material and then on food products.

period of rapid growth and powerful
running start, as period Of creating
prerequisites for such growth and
such running start in the near
future.
Data concerning growth Of cultivat-
ed areas during the period under re-
port reflects two basic lines in agri-
culture: One line, towards increasing
in every way cultivated areas during
the period when reorganization of
agriculture was at its height; when
Kolkhozes collective FARMS were or
ganized by tens of thousands; when
they drove the Kulaks (rich landlord
farmers) off the land; when they seiz-
ed vacated land and took it into their
own hands.
Second line, towards passing from
general extension of cultivated areas,
to improving land cultivation; to in
stalling correct crop rotations and
blowing to raising the yield, and, If it
should be necessitated by practice, to
temporary curtailment of existing Gull
tivation areas.
AS Is known, the second Iine-the

It is understood that after these
happenings, shaking the basis Of the
credit system, there would come, and
actually did come the curtailment Of
payments of credits, foreign loans,
clTtailment Of payments of interallied
debts, curtailment Of export capital.
The new decrease in foreign trade, the
new decrease in the export Of COM

foreign markets, and trade war be-

REVOLUTIONARY CONSCIOUSNESS DEVELOPING

The masses of people have not yet
arrived at the point of storming cap
italism, but the idea of stor1ning
ripens in the consciousness of the
masses. There can hardly be any
doubt of that. Eloquent proof Of
that is furnished by such events as
the Spanish revolution, overthrowing
a regime Of fasciSrn, and the growth
Of Soviet districts Of China, which
the united forces of the counter
revolution Chinese and foreign bour-
geoisie is unable to crush.

U.ss.R. MAINTAINS ITS PEACE POLICY

In circumstances of this pre-war
witches dance, which had seized a

fighting war menace, fighting for the
preservation of peace, meeting half

or another are for preservation of
peace, exposing and unmasSing those
who prepare, who provoke war.
What did the Soviet Union count
on in this difficult and complicated
fight for peace2

litical might.
Second, on moral support of vast

NEWARK, N. j., August 23.-The
City of Newark has set out in ear
nest to dun its citizens for $4,O00,o00
in overdue personal property taxes.
In all the 80 years since the
ordinance creating the tax was put
on the books it has never been taken
seriously. Now, spurred by an order
from Finance Director Parnell, the
city's collectors are preparing to en-
force it to the letter.
The ordinance empowers the city
to hold tax sales and to cast into
jail any citizen whose effects fail
to bring enough at public auction
to satisfy the city's claim.
There are about 10000 delinquents
in the CITY," said Bertram Sachs, su-
pervisor of personal tax arrears in the
city collectors Office.
Nine deputy collectors, accompanied
by nine policemen, marched up to the

RULING PROTESTED
BY SULTAN OF SULU
Head of Mohammedan Filipinos
Seeks to Regain Lost
Powers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, May 12.-Shorn of many
of his prerogatives and of a consider
able income by an order of Provincial
Gov. James r. Fugate, the Sultan Of
Sulu yesterday filed a protest with the
insular government here, seeking an
amendment to the treaty he signed
in 1915.
For years the Sultan, who is spirit
ual head Of large number of the
500 900 Mohammedan Filipinos in the
southern islands has operated various
courts, heard religious and also some
criminal cases and imposed fines.
Gov. Fugate ruled the Sultan could
only impose indemnity fines. could
not punish offenders or solicit con-
tributionS and that he must keep
complete records.
The Princesses Dayang-Dayang and
Tarhata, the Sultan's adopted daugh-
ter and niece, and the Sulu datas,
who are minor chieftains, have been
acting as the judges of the courts.
Teopisto Guingona, head of the bu-
reau of non-Christain tribes of the
insular government, told the Sultan
Gov. Fugate's order was in accordance
with the 1915 treaty. The Sultan
Immediately asked to have the treaty
terms changed so he could continue
to boss the courts.
