They Show Socialism
Spurs the Highest
Initiative

Five-Year Plans; and that it would
have been impossible without them
and without the Party and the
masses who created the technique
and the material basis in the form
OF airplanes, oil cracking plants for
gasoline, without the aluminium
works and the radio industry.
THE Philistines OF capitalism. y
continues this paper, kept saving
socialism means barracks and low
erlng of individual initiative and
daring. But the rescue of the Chel-
yuskinites demonstrates that social
ism has raised high the banner of
human daring, of individual initi-
alive, of self-sacrifice for the com
mon good. Under collectivism in
div1duality develops and all forces
blossom out. Our individualism
means heroic readiness and ability
to give all forces to the good of
collective effort"
The Chelyuskinites were met at
the station by heads of the gov
eminent and the Party. There were
Maxim Lityinoff, Commissar of
Foreign Affairs; Professor Samoilo-
vich; the artist, Brodsky, and many
other outstanding figures.
Yesterday went to Pushkino
residence in town a considerable
distance from Moscow along the
road which the Chelyuskinites came,
and found every little station deco
rated and aroused with interest,
though the Chelyuskin train did not
stop at any of them. Similar evil
dence of eagerness to honor the
heroes was shown by an incident
the night before when saw a
whole performance of an operetta
in a popular theatre at the Hermit
tage halt all actors on the stage,
and the star announce to the sur
orised audience that they had just
discovered that Ushakov of the
Chelyuskin rescue mission was in
the audience. Tremendous APP
plause broke out until Ushakoy had
to rise and acknowledge it.

children, and by Bobrov.
Floats Express Enthusiasm
The sun broke through the clouds
as the factory workers part of the
march began and flooded the. square
with lights in which the floats car
ried by the marchers glittered. The
floats expressed the attitude of the
crowd toward their proletarian
heroes. Thousands of pictures we're
carried, many made with laborious
care with flowers. Others, painted
on canvass, showed the whole ice
bound camp, with the "Chelyuskin"
sinking, and the flyers going to the
rescue.
The airplane factory workers
especially outdid themselves with
their ingenious models of planes of
the latest types. Even the Chel-
yuskinites' faithful sledge dogs were
carried in images, reminding of the
humanitarianism of the filters, who
rescued the dogs as well as all of
the humans. Numerous colored
balloons were released before the re-
viewing stand, and countless naval
signal flags we're carried aloft.
Altogether, it was even more
colorful procession than any pre-
ceding, and the tremendous out
burst of popular enthusiasm made
it magnificent popular holiday.
Huge "CheIyuskin" Model
Red Square was decorated with
a huge model of the "Chelyuskin"
in the ice, and a big blue and white
map of the regions around Schmidt
camp hung on the huge building at
the west end of the square, accom-
panied by a red banner carrying
Stains slogan: There is no for-
tress that Bolsheviks cannot take"

OF Lenin and Stain, leader and or
ganizer of victorious construction
of socialism" Hail heroic fliers
and rescuers of the Chelyuskinites. !"
These slogans, especially the one
giving credit to the Communist
Party, together with the applica-
ton to join the Party by the nom
Party members of the expedition
and the reScuers, show the feeling
OF the masses of the Soviet Union
that under the leadership of the
Party they are part of the whole
glorious historical episode.
The feeling extends to foreign
workers in the Soviet Union, as a
letter published in todays "Pravda. :"
central organ of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union, from a
Danish seaman, indicates. The letter
says:
One must envy the country
which has such heroes and envy the
heroes who have such a country. !"
The "Pravda" editorial today also
quotes a letter from Leningrad from
the Red Putilov workers which ad-
dressed the Chelyuskinites with
warm and fervent brotherly greet
ings.
Proletarian Heroes
"Pravda" quoted lIoerally from
such letters and points out: IN
that formula, with its many I'M
known quantities which we call the
rescue of the Chelyuskinites, there
is one entity known to us, but un-
known and inaccessible to the capt.
talist world. That entity is the art
of struggle and conquest of diff
culties taught by the Communist
Party and millions of toilers. In
the Soviet land there are no crea-
lions of heroic myths. Our heroics
are real"
"Pravda" contrasts this with the
police and gangster heroes of CAPT.
talist lands, and draws the conclu-
sions that the proletarian heroes of
the Chelyuskinites learned them
selves on the ice, and the millions
watching them learned also the art
of conquest of difficulties

rescue was also the child of the two

however, failed to point out that
the butcher Machsdo regime re-
ceived millions of dollars in graft
out Of these loans as did the
bankers that floated them. Faith
full to its Wall Street hackers, the
Mendieta regime does not repu-
date these loans which the Gu
ban people never received.
The loans were made by the
Chase National Bank, the National
City Bank of New York and the
Continental Illinois National Bank
ad Trust Company of Chicago.
The money was supposed to be
used for public works" but was
squandered by Mschado and the
bankers for their own purposes
and for supporting the armed
forces against the Cuban people.
The Wall Street bankers in a
statement declared the loans were
legal" and that they would I'M
dertake measures to enforce their
payment Thorough the Roosevelt
government. The Roosevelt re-
gime is backing the Mendieta
government, and matters of pay
ment will be arranged. The loans
were made with the help of the

Legislative Corruption

ONE of the New York State Senator's.
" Warren T. Thayer, has just been found
guilty by the State Senate of "miscon-
duct in regard to his relations with the
big utility companies of New York State.
Thayer resigned before the verdict was
handed down.
The corruption of Thayer is not iso-
lated in the legislative halls either of this State or
of the whole Federal Government
The capitalist legislators are bound to big capital
to the Wall Street monopoles and utility companies
by an infinite number of bonds financial and social
There is not of the Senators who voted against
Thayer who is not stained with the same corruption
Corruption is part and parcel of the whole sys-
tenn OF capitalist democracy, where the government
despite its democratic" trappings, is only the
servant of the property class And as Marx great
leader OF the revolutionary working class pointed
out long ago, there is place where corruption is
more open and cynical than in democratic re-
public
The filth of capitalist corruption reeks through
every government Office, through every act of the
government. In his contact with the police. with
the government offices, etc. the worker finds that
the power Of capital dominates everywhere
1t is necessary to get working class candidates
INTO these Legislative halls to expose in those halls
the ties that bind the capitalist legislators to the
Wall Street billionaires.
In the Soviet Union grafters and crooks in the
state apparatus are sent to Jail or shot That ia
because the Soviet Government is the rule of the
masses against the expoiters, not the rule of the
exploiters against the masses
To end corruption, the power OF capital must be
ended Only proletarian revolution ana work
ers' state power can do that Meanwhile we fight
the capitalist legislative crooks, those who are
caught and those who are respectable"

its special mission. In the growing
disorder of the world, in the midst
of intensified peril and menace, the
men who were the witnesses and
actors in the last war have some
thing to say, and should make
themselves heard. They must be
heard especially since so MANY

incumbent upon us for the united
front of struggle of all workers

From this moment too. for there
is no time to lose, it is fitting that
you participate in the most active
and energetic way in this struggle,
by getting in touch with the Fight
ing Committees sprung from the
international Convention of Am
sterdam against war and the
European Convention of Paris
against Fascism.

you likewise to consider the forma-

advantage in the actual fight: all
the material which you can obtain
concerning reactionary veteran or

and also statistical documents on

and systemati5ed task, for which
