TWo Social Systems r. What
A Contrast

THE tremendous sum of nearly five bill
of the Soviet Union has just turned over
to the trade unions of the US.S.R. to be
used this year for social insurance for
the workers and farmers brings out in garing con-
trast the difference between the condition OF the
masses in the workers country of the UJSS.R, and
in the capitalist-ridden United States.
The Soviet State in dollars, has set aside the
gigantic sum of $3757600OOO in its 1884 budget for
the use of the masses for social insurance. Unem-
ployment has already been completely abolished
in the Soviet Union This great sum will be con-
troled entirely by the workers. It assures that
every worker and farmer will have complete security
for 1884 1t provides for medical assistance educa-
tional scholarships, workers dwellings,, hospitals
sanatoria and rest homes, allowances for temporary
disability, confnements during pregnancy invalids'
pensions workers childrens nurseries, Andergar-
tens, camps, ETC.
No worker in the Soviet Union need work under
the gripping fear OF future insecurity No spectre of
hunger haunts the worker in the land where social
list society is being built.
AND in the United States? In this country, where
"A the bankers rule where the Roosevelt govern
ment of finance capital is in power there is not
single cent given for social insurance by the
federal or by any state government In the United
States, where the workers had to fight for what
measy unemployment relief was given 16000O 900 are
jobless, haunted by starvation, hundreds of thou
sands actually starving to DEATH thousands are
eyicted, hundreds commit suicide in despair The
Roosevelt New Deal the rule of the capitalist class
means starvation for the masses Of workers and
poor farmers
The Roosevelt government has turned over
S39700O0000 10 the bankers in gifts and loans
through RIG, etc., but not cent for social in
surance in this land of the profit system
Here we have the striking contrast between the
two social systems the workers world and the cap
itast system. Here we in all its nakedness the
true meaning of the New Deal. In the Soviet Union
billions of dollars to the workers and farmers in
social insurance, in land where the bankers and
exploiters have been destroyed And in the United
States the New Deal gives billions to the bankers
and not cent to the workers in social insurance
THE Manifesto of the Eighth National Convention
OF the Communist Party, just held in Cleveland
declares 1.-THE program of the revolutionary solu-
ton Of the crisis is blind experiment. The work
ing class is already in power in the biggest country
in the world, and it has already proved the supe-
ror1ty of the Socialist system While the crisis has
engulfed the capitalist countries-at the same time
in the Soviet Union, where the workers rule through
their Soviet Power, new socialist society is being
VIGOROUSLY built"
The workers Of the Soviet Union who under
the leadership of the Communist Party overthrow
their capitalist system and set up their own state
power, point the way to the workers of the rest of
the world. The Soviet Union has tremendously raised
the we-being and cultural standards of its toling
masses, as well ripled its industrial production
In the words of the Eighth National Conven
ton OF the Communist Party U.SA. 'The crisis
cannot be solved for the toiling masses until the
rule Of Wall Street has been broken and the rule
OF the working class has been established The only
way out Of the crisis for the toiIing masses of the
United States is the revolutionary way out the
abolition Of capitalist rule and capitalism the es
Enlistment of the Socialist society through the
power of revolutionary workers government a
Soviet government
In the daily mass work Of our PARTY the ol1es-
ton Of Soviet power of the working class solution
to the crisis, must constantly be brought forward
The explanation of what the New Deal really means
to the workers its Hunger Deal for the masses con-
traSted with the great achievements of the workers
state of the Soviet Union. brings forcibly to the
front the question of the struggle for working class
rule in the United States. The shining example of
the Soviet Union points the way to the working
class Of the United States in its struggle for Soviet
Power.
