The outlawing Of strikes the forcing of the COM

workers which is the consistent policy of the Rooze-
welt government is being pushed through in the
auto industry. This is the purpose of the present
conference in Detroit Of the General Motors, the
A. F Of L. leaders and the Auto Labor Board.
AND the strikebreaking actions Of the Auto Labor
n Board concern every worker. The Roosevelt gov
eminent is attempting to apply its no-strike edcts
to STEEL to coal, to all industries, to smash the
workers unions and to bring in the company unions
The militant Auto Workers Union and rank and
file workers in the auto industry are meanwhile
pushing their demand for an immediate. solid gen.
eral strike of all Fisher body workers in all eight
cities where the plants are located
In order to defeat the strikebreaking maneuvers
of the Auto Labor Board, the A. F. Of L. official
dom. and the auto manufacturers, it is necessary
to carry through more energetcaIy the program
of the fighting Auto Workers Union.
The building Of rank and file oppostions in all
A. F. of L. locals becomes essential to defeat further
strikebreaking efforts going on in the auto
industry.
The strikebreaklng purposes of the conference
going in Detroit can be defeated by the rank

struggle policy, by presenting fighting united front

year, Soviet Azerbaijan has achieved
remarkable gains in living condi-

the cultural field and in construc-

possible this tremendous develop

new branches of industry in the
conversion of this former Czarist

sible because of the proximity of in

The greatest achievement in
Azerbaijan is in the field of Gull

P. Valiant Couturier writes in a
special article in the "Humanite, y
official daily organ of the Commu-
mist Party CT France, that Coty, the
founder of the fascist Solidarite
Franchise, a fascist organization,
has built at his Chateu de Lowe
ciennes three stories of caves. For
what purpose, if not for storing
arms and ammunition?
It is published in the Paris press
that stocks of guns and cartridges
have been bought from Switzerland
for about 100000 francs. The de-
livery is granted on the basis of a
diplomatic passport. These are sent
sometimes to RoubaiX, sometimes to
other parts of the country. In Paris,
at 5 avenue Friedland, there is a
fascist nest. 1t is at this address
that the brigades of the Solidarite
Franchise are equipped with arms
On the page where the article is
published, there is photostatic
copy of an "ordre de service" for a
member Of this fascist organization
1t instructs the above member to
call at this address.
Comrade Valiant Couturier goes
on to say that the three under
ground stories built by Coty were
at that time carefully protected by
special guards assigned by Coty
himself to watch the workers and
according to eye witnesses, no one
was permitted to approach the
grounds. This reminded one of the

handles of 763 meters and lift

being sold in Paris by a large local
firm. He noted the strangeness of
such procedure at time when the
traffic in arms was being strictly
limited and wondered why there
should be such a large increase in
these stocks.

Did any newspaper cry out against
it? Why, not even the "Populaire"

form of socialist organization of la
Dor which led to the greatest eX-

the proletariat, the proletariat which
threw off the yoke of capitalist ex-

In an editorial headed Glorious
Anniversary" Pravda writes:
The five years of socialist COM

oppositionists and Trotzkyists sought
to turn the wheel of history back
wards-in this unforgettable period
and from the depths of the working
class arose the wave of socialist
competition. The working class and
toiling peasants voted the means
for this socialist competition, for the
Party, for its feminist leadership
the banner Of Lenin and Stain, for
Communism.
The appeal Of the 10Th Party
Congress for the organization of the
competition began movement
which has involved millions, which
has had no antecedent in world his
tory
The competition resulted in gil
gantic industrial plants, in new re-
gions Of collective and state farms
A new, remarkable tribe of men
arose-the tribe of shock workers
1t is they who under the leadership
of the Central Committee and the
leader of the Party, Stain, con-
quered the Dnieper and erected the
Kuznetsk and Magnitogorsk blast
furnaces. They covered the sky with
the steel and aluminium birds Of the
powerful Red Air Fleet.
1T is they who stood and stand
at conveyor, tractor and automobile
works, mastering technique. It is
they who are establishing socialist
agriculture and in struggle against
kulak safeguard sacred, inviolable
public property. 1t is they who con-
verted the country into an irwin
chile fortress, who fulfilled the First
Five Year Plan in four years, who
are mastering science and technique
in the Second Five-Year Plan.
Labor a Joy Under Socialism
Labor under capitalism was and
remains a curse for workers. Under
Socialism labor becomes a Joy. IN
der Socialism there exists a con-
seriousness that work goes for the
fatherland which h as forever
thrown off the weight of the ex-
ploiters. 1t is work for ones own
class, for oneself, and it instils one

good as a means of improvement
of Soviet German relations, and
that those relations are worSened
due to the unfavorable attitude as
sumed by the U. S. S. r. toward
the nationalistic regime in Ger
many, Pravda states:
Certainly the peoples Of the So
Wet Union regard the national So
cialist regime Of Germany according
to its merits. But entering on nor
NAL diplomatic economic relations
with capitalist countries, the toilers
of the Soviet Union are we'll aware
that these are countries where in
one or another form-masked or
unmasked-the dictatorship of the
bourgeoisie exists.
Normal diplomatic relations ex-
list between the U. S. S. R. and a
number of capitalist countries, so
far as their maintenance suits the
interests of both parties and are
required for the general peace. The
absence of any, even the slightest
convincing arguments in Germany's
refusal, compels the Soviet Union
to come to the conclusion that
other, more real motives. exist
which are unstated in the German
reply, but which are dictated by this
refusal. The chief reason evidently
is German fascisms unwillingness
to bind itself by obligations which
might interfere with its aggression
against Baltic countries.
TN the exchange or opinions be-
tween the governments of the U
S. S. R. and Germany, there is re-
vealed with exceptional clearnesS
and unexpected frankness, the fac
tors which motivate the German
foreign policy.
Therefore, the peaceful initiative
of the U. S. S. R. is not fruitless."
