Party Life
Healthy Unit Life

About a year ago in an article

he Party unit. Since that time our
Party has made no progress in solv-
ing the problem OF fiuctuation; at
present the f1uctuation in our Party
IS as bad as it ever was. This fluc-
tuation will never be eradicated
until the units are made into
healthy functioning groups. 1t must
be kept in mind that the new mem

money-raising discussions and a
general lack of initiative, he will
drop out Of the Party. If the unit
meetings drag along to all hours of
the night, if the meetings are not
run efficiently, if there is a lack
OF political education, if there is a
lack Of participation in the strug-
giles of the neighborhood or shop.
there is no reason why the new
Party member should remain in our
ranks.
There have been many remedies
suggested to stop the f1uctuation in
our Party, All Of them have been
good, and I would like to add one
more:
Too often the section leaders fail
to participate in the life Of the unit.
They are so busy with section work
that they have no time to engage
in unit activity. They too often sit
in at the unit meetings as a matter
OF form, They give insufficient
guidance to the unit, personal at
tention to members so as to devel-
op new leadership. Our leaders
should be our most determined most
militant, most courageous fighters.
Their presence in the unit meetings
should be an inspiration to the new
members as we'll as the old. If all
their efforts are going to be spent
in the section and district offices.
drawing up resolutions and direc-
tives, 1t will be so much wasted ef-
fort.
The excellent Open Letter to every
Party member that the Central
Committee addressed (Oct., 1884
calls upon every member to group
at least five non-Party workers
around him, whom he could Unfit
ence and eventually bring into the
Party. I would like to add to that
suggestion that our top leaders. our

solutions, group at least five unde-
veloped Party members around each

Veterans and Unemployed

QOOSEVELTS speech on Friday to the
~ vets on the bonus should be an eye
opener to hundreds of thousands of vets
and workers whose support for the New
Deal Roosevelt is asking in the coming
Congressional elections.
In this speech Roosevelt told the vets that thew
cannot have the bonus that is due them because
the Government needs funds for the UNEMPLOYED
This is the argument OF shrewd, capitalist
hypocrite who does nothing either for the unem-
ployed the vets.
Roosevelt tries to cloak his Wall Street program
with the rags and hunger Of the jobless. But what
Roosevelt government done for the unemployed?
What is it doing now? Roosevelt has given only the
most meagre starvation relief to the iobless There
are millions of starving iobless who have been
flung off the relief rolls by Roosevelt. There are
thousands who have been fired off the CWA
projects by Roosevelt.
For every dollar Roosevelt gave the iobess for
relief, he has given more than ten to the bankers
and monopoly industrialists in Wall Street
This winter at least 100000 workers and their
families face absolute restitution, and Roosevelt
has not taken a single step to provide them with
adequate cash relief and unemployment insurance
On the contrary he is driving forward to slash
relief everywhere
II Roosevelt wants to find funds for the iobIess
why Goes he plumber the veterans? Why does he
not look at the two billion collar war expenditures?
Why does he not look at the billion dollars that
goes to the bankers every twelve months in interest
payments on government bonds? Why has his New
Deal handed out more than $40 900 900 900 in sub
sides to mortage holders railroad stockholders and
bankers?
Are not the veterans themselves jobIess and
hungry? Are not thousands of them without
homes Jobs?
Roosevets argument is the argument of capi-
tais agent whose every act Is In the interests Of
the Wall Street banks and monopolies
When Roosevelt acts to starve the iobless and
ROB the veterans of their just due in the name of
governments credit" he is merely grinding the
faces of the poor to provide profits for the rich
By government credit" he means the ability of
the government to protect the Morgan-Rockefeller
bondholderS in Wall Street. 1t never occurs to
Roosevelt to levy heavy taxes on these people This
Is because he is their capitalist servant
10CsEVELTS robbery of the vets and iobless to
~ protect the bankers has the support of every
party in the elections except the Communist PARTY
The Democrats and Republicans agree with him
openly. And Norman Thomas. Socialist PARTY
leader rebukes the starving vets for asking the bonus
"at this time
I'm its Congressional Platform the Communist
Party alone states bluntly and Enthusiastically:
We are for the immediate payment of the vet
Grams back wages bonus.
This is because the Communist Party bases all its
struggles and actions on the fundamental position
of class against class the working class against the
Wall Street capitalist class.
Roosevelt again shows himself tool of the capt.

(krama -OrsK, End OF Septemoer)
We shall not forget that! That
was the first big argument against
the proletarian revolution, that they
can only destroy but cannot build
up. Here in Kramatorsk, in the
cour. yard of the largest machine
construction plant in the world-in
the factory courtyard which with
its gay flower beds, bushes and
fountains differs from the court
yards Of capitalist barracks for
workers, just as the free life of the
creators of socialism differs from
the life of the wage slaves-pre-
cisely here we have to recall this
argument. We must not forget this
for although this argument" is no
longer the fashion. the capitalist
press constantly invents new "argu-
ments" in it's place which have the
same relation to the truth as that
first argument has to the marvel
lous work in Kramatorsk.
At the foot of the huge mountain
of socialist creative force which the
Soviet proletariat climbed during
the last five or six years, the fol-
lowing comicsl scene took place;
Faced Huge Difficulties
1t was in 1929. A few Soviet
engineers and proletarian leaders of
industry went to Germany in order
to draw German specialists in to
consult on the work of designing
the Kramatorsk machine construc-
ton plant. At one of these con-
situations the well-known chief OF
one of the largest German machine
building plants declared:
MY Russian gentlemen! I know
all the classical literature of Eu-
rope. But still I have never read
a more entertaining tale than your
Five-Year Plan. I showed you my
factory only because I am con-
WINGED that you, gentlemen. are
wonderful dreamers and will never
be able to initiate in a practical way
what I have created"
At that time there was only a
small windmill on the spot where
the new factory was to be built.
Right around it there were few
hectares of potato fields and the
rest was neglected meadowland.
Cows made themselves at home in
the wild grass and openly showed
their lack of desire to be driven
away from the meadow when the
space was needed for meeting OF
the workers of the old Kramatorsk
factories "a foundry. an ou. of date
machine factory which had already
been renewed, cement factory.
At this meeting the project of the
new, immense plant was placed be-
fore the mass of the workers.
Workers Enthusiasm
Many workers asked to speak.
Among them was Morosov, an old
steel worker. He did not know
the entire classical literature Of
Europe, but he knew the power of
his class, he knew what they could
do when they had at their head a
party like the BolsheVik Party.
And he gave an entirely different
opinion of the whole project than
the learned director in Berlin:
Every Bolshevik word-said the
old man in closing his speech-is a
political document. If the Bolshe-
viks say that we can build this
plant. hen all talk must cease, for

Locals of the Unemployment
Councils have been modified and
delegations are being sent to the
German Consulate, IA Diamond St..
demanding the unconditional re-
lease of Thaelmann, Torgler, and all
political prisoners now in Hitler's
dungeons and concentration camps.

These delegations are also pre-

District Attorney Andrew Park, at
the Court House, for the release of
Phil Frankfeld, chairman of the Al
legheny County Unemployment
Councils, now serving a two to four
year sentence in Blawnox Prison for
his activities in behalf OF Pennsyl-

were connected with imperialist

All these representatives of the
cid world believed in their superior
ity, believed that the world would
have to go under if the masses of
the workers would no longer slave

only few years ago stood small

meadowland.
2.-Magnitude
1t is only with dificulty that one
can conceive of the size and signifi-
canoe of this immense plant, "the
Stain Machine Construction Plant
in Kramatorsk Perhaps the fol-
lowing figure will at least give a
slight idea of the size of this plant.
A perfectly straight avenue one
and a half kilometers long with a
few parallel and cross streets and
immense works on both sides en-
bedded in about 1000 square meters
Of flower beds-this is the outward
picture of the plant. 1t occupies
a surface Of 16 hectares-the build
ings alone occupy 120 hectares. 1t
is the surface of a middle sized
estate upon the fields of which grow
not wheat or rye but iron and &C.
ment constructions.
The pride of the plant is the steel
foundry. We can get an idea of its
size If we compare its output with
ether similar works: When fully
occupied Krupps produced $4,000
tons of castings annually. The out
put of the steel foundry at the
Sverdlovsk "Uralmash" which was
completed last year amounts to a.
600 tons Of castings; the largest
American steel foundry can produce
$4,000 tons and the foundry of the
Kramatcrsk plant has capacity
of $4,000 tons of castings.
Thirteen | arge shops including
three machine shops, two iron foun-
dries. the steel foundry, machine
assembling department, a black
smith shop pattern making shop
and ether departments have been
completed up to the present.
The cost of the construction ur
to now amounts to 23o million rubles
and the rest of the construction
will still require further 200 mil
lion. Up tn the present round
SUN of 100000 working days have
been used in building the plant
With the 7hour day this amounts
to 81 100000 working hours. Looked
! at from the point of view Of g
foreign unemployed worker thi,
means years work for 10000 work
ers. One-third of the building work
was done in severely cold weather
Builds New Plants
Up to the present $4,000 trees
and 100000 bushes have beer
planted in the factory courtyard
and by the end of autumn fur
ther 5000 trees will be planted. But
the main work of the "g-eenary
department" is to be found at the
outskirts of the plant where 100000
trees are being planted this veal
