boro cases. In these two cases the
International La Dor Defense,
through its attorneys, Walter H.
Pollak and Osmond K. Fraenkel,
have obtained a stay of the execu-
ton of our boys from December 7th
to February 9th, and have also filed
petitions and briefs for the review
of the convictions and death SEN
fences in the United States Su-
preme Court. No other organiza-
ton nor any other attorneys have
taken any legal steps whatsoever for
the protection of the lives of our
boys or for their legal defense, and
consequently no other organization
or attorneys have been put to any
expense in defending our boys
against the death sentences i'm
posed.
The necessity for funds to cover
the application for review by the
United States Supreme Court is
great and immediate, and we urge
all persons who are well wishers of
the Scottsboro boys to send con-
tributions Immediately to the Inter
national Labor Defense to pay the
expenses in fighting for the lives
of our innocent sons.

The NeaV Deal Speeds
War Preparations

CECRETARY OF WAR DERN lives up
~ to his title. He catches the spirit of
the New Deal in his annual report to Pres
ident Roosevelt, and calls for intensified
war preparations. Dern wants $4,000 more
soldiers 1000 additional officers and the air force
built up to 1890 planes
Besides, Dern requests another slice of the war
funds. He asks for S60O00,00O for army housing
construction" This usually means forts, jails for
soldiers who refuse to obey their officers fine quar-
tiers for the general staff and more houses for
the men.
There are two points in Dern's report descriptive
of the New Deal, its war preparations and its de-
velopment of fascist attacks against the workers
who resist the benefits" of Roosevelt's attack on
labor Dern thinks most highly of the recent strike
breaking service of the National Guard. He also
has a lot to say about the c. c. c. camps.
In the event any worker may be foolish enough
to ask how do the c. C. c. camps come into the
though army officers were by sheer accident placed
to build up their health and morale.
But from Assistant Secretary of War Woodring
some time ago we had the admission published in
Liberty" that the CCC. camps were the first step
towards CONSUMPTION and war mobilization and that
they were also designed as possible sources for the
fascist armies to be used against labor.
Dern truly breathes the spirit of the New Deal
Greater war preparations and intensified fascist
moves are the major emphasis of his report.

OF the Second Five Year Plan
Article II.

Article III.
IN Cape Nordwick in the Arctic,
where a Soviet scientific expedi-
ton had found signs of oil some
time ago, the first drilling equip
ment has now been set up. A power
station is already functioning and
the geological and Typographical
work has already been completed.
The presence of petroleum has also
been determined in Kochvenikov
Bay, Southwest of Nordwick. The
conjecture that there are large oil
bearing districts in the Arctic are
thus being confirmed.
Cape Nordwick in the Arctic
Ocean is situated at IA degrees lat
itude and IL degrees longitude, not
far from the place where the camp
of the Chelyuskin Expedition was
driven by the ice.
On July "a an expedition left
for Cape Nordwick on the ice
breaker "Russanov." Koslov, the di-
rector of the Leningrad Petroleum
Institute, headed this expedition.
The expedition consists of IA peo-
pie and is well equipped technically.
The prospecting is being carried
on at Cape Nordwick under the
peculiar conditions of the polar
night.
On the barren shores of Lake
Balkhash in Soviet Central Asia an
enormous copper smelling plant is
being built. The first construction
work has already completely altered
the appearance of the shores of the
lake. Life has penetrated into the
wilderness. Ten thousand people
already live in the newly arisen
town. Thirteen kilometres of rail-
way tracks have been laid, a saw
mill is in operation and two brick
factories which produce 35 million
bricks a year. Machines that have
never yet been seen here-dredgers
and cranes-are at work. A tenn
porary power station with two tur-
bines of thousand kilowatts each
is functioning. The work of putting
in a water system is nearing COM
pletion. Dining rooms, schools, a
talkie- cinema and an excellent club
have been built.
A New Textile Giant
In Tashkent, the main city in
Soviet Central Asia, a new enorm-
GUS textile combinat which meets

for the revolution. The confines of
the bourgeois school were too mar
row for him. He always strove to
bring science out of the laboratory
on to the fields and to use revolu-
tionary methods in agronomical
science.
In October, 1917" says Williams,
my free, creative, scientific work
for socialism began and since then

When the October Revolution
broke out Williams was already a
scientist of world reknown, one of
the most eminent specialists on the
properties Of the soil. He immedi-
ately placed himself in the ranks of
the active revolutionary fighters.
In 1923 Professor Williams was
decorated with the Order of the Red
Banner and given the title Hero of
Labor in view of his scientific and
social merits.
If one visualizes the work of this
man, one can hardly believe that he
is already more than seventy years

An American Journalist
The North China Daily News"
an English newspaper in Shanghai,
publishes a letter from Hardin con-
tanning an interview with an Amer
lean journalist, who came to Har-
bin after a trip through the
U. S. S. r.
The American journalist enthusi-
astically describes the successes of,
the Soviet Union. He points out the
tremendous development of heavy
and light industry and especially
mentions the establishment of trac-
tor plants. With regard to the num-
Der of tractors manufactured-sa
he-the U. S. S. r. occupies first
place and has even surpassed the
U. S. A.
In describing his impressions of
Moscow, he says: Moscow grows
not daily, but hourly. New houses
shoot out of the earth like mush-
rooms after rain. Buildings are
erected not at a European pace.
but at a rapid American pace"
Goldberg especially went into detail
on the building up of Sverdlovsk
and Khabarovsk. "Such a develop
ment OF industry and agriculture is
taking place in the Soviet Union
as is not to be found in any other
country in the world" declared the
journalist in conclusion.

Wide Boycott Launched
Against New Nazi Plan
on Winter Charity

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE fact that
several Nazi officials concerned
with the Winter Relief fund have
been involved in numerous cases of
corruption which have lately taken
place has encouraged workers to
make a stand against the innum-
cradle collections now being forced
upon them. Leaders of the Nazi
Party are seeking to overcome this
opposition by means of threats,
menaceS and terrorism.
Sprenger, chief city official of
Hessen, proclaimed that "niggardly
contributors must be publicly pill
loried." Several provincial papers
are publishing the names of boy
cotters," and pamphlets are being
distributed bearing the demand.

contribute" or Why have you given

'The Secret of My YouthfuIness"
A short time ago the renowned
professor VASTLY Williams, mem
Der of the Academy of Science, was
decorated with the Order of Lenin,
by the Soviet Government for his
outstanding work in the field of
agronomy and for his vigorous
struggle for the socialist reconstruc-
ton of agriculture on the occasion
of the so years of his scientific,
pedagogical, social and political
activity.
Professor Williams is now II years
old. An outstanding authority on
knowledge of the soil and professor
in the Moscow Agricultural Insti-
tute, he still works energetically in
scientific fields.
Some time ago Professor Williams
was visited by an outstanding Brit
ish scientist in the same field and
during the course of the CONVERSE
ton the latter expressed his amaze
ment at the youthfulness, the ener-
gy and the capacity of the old sci
enlist for work.

British professor.
