THE only statistics the cap
L talist press has been prin
ing these days from the S,
Wet Union is the number {
white guard assassins, spie
and saboteurs who were e1
ecuted.
They believe that by harping o
the abstract idea of the ruthles
executions of enemies of the work
ers' state they can befuddle tn
fundamental issues of aims, pur
pose and the real significance O
this deed of the proletarian dicta
| torship.
These enemies of the workers
state were executed because the,
wanted, by assassination, sabotage
and destruction, to impede the de.
velopment of Socialist construc.
ton. For example, why doesn't the
capitalist press, publish such facts
as the following to show what the
proletarian dictatorship has done,
and what those executed wanted to
stop?
In Sept. 1884, the output of the
blast furnaces of the U. S. S. r,
exceeded that of the United States.
The Soviet Union has taken the
lead as the largest producer of
agricultural machinery throughout
the entire world. In other words,
the Soviet Union is producing the
largest amount of machinery for
the creation of food for the masses.
and the greatest abundance of food
becomes matter of the immediate
development, matter Of course.
THE U. S. S. R. takes the first
place in the world in the pro-
duction of books and newspapers.
In 1893, 100000 volumes were
printed, and 1000 different papers
published, totaling 100000 copies.
Those who were executed want
to drive the Soviet Union back to
the days Of the Gar, when over 80
per cent of the population were il
literate and only knew of the ukases
OF the Gar when they felt the
knout.
Last year, 100000 persons we're
sent to health resorts, to Sanatoria,
and rest homes in the U. S. S. r.
The Soviet works and factories
possess the largest number of up
to-date machine tools in the world.
The U. S. S. r. records the great
est increase of population in the
world. While in capitalist coun-
tries, the population figures slow
down, due to the decay of economy
unemployment, hunger, disruption
of family relationships, in the So
Wet Union births increase, because
of the constant improvement of the
conditions and means Of life.
PUT the capitalist press is not in
- terested in telling the workers
these facts. 1t is not interested in
telling the workers how this was
achieved, by the violent, revolution
airy overthrow of Czarism and the
stern action of the proletarian die
tatorship against it's enemies.
Though the proletarian dictator
ship is not merely violent action
against its enemies, never does it
lose its ability to strike swiftly and
hard against those desperate enc
mics who believe they can aid the
imperialist war plots by a few we'll
placed shots.
THE British government has de-
4 vised plan for the destruction
Of outwarn and overproduced ships,
and to produce newer and more eff
fective merchantmen, capable of
assisting in its war plans. The gov
eminent has granted British ship
owners $50,000000 for the purchase
of ships to be scrapped. In addi-
ton, another subsidy of $10,000,000
has been set aside for the smaller
tramp ship owners.
The scheme provides that the
ship owners are to scrap two tons
Of old ships and build one ton of
new ones. This plan will serve the
dual purpose of increasing the eff
cheney of the mercantile marine,
and of creating new war auxiliary.
The scrap itself, also, is very
valuable war material which Is
either stored for war purposes, or
sold to Japan or Germany, to help
them in their war plans against the
Soviet Union.
THE United Front against Hitler
L in the Saar is planning for a
huge pre-plebicite anti-fascist dem
onstration. on Jan. 6, 1885. 1t has
| decided to call on all the people in
the Saar opposed to Hitler's bloody
rule in the Saar, and for the re-
tention of the status quo League
of Nations rule) to join a gigantic
mass march to Saarbrucken on
that day. The plebicite commission
has been requested to grant permis-
sion for this demonstration.
All forces opposed to Hitler, re-
gardless of their political or religi-
Gus affiliation, are being called on
! to make this march the mightiest
of all demonstrations to swing the
plebiscite against fascist rule.
on Jan. Is is on the increase and
Hitler is seriously troubled by the
prospect of losing the game in the
Saar. The fascists are quite aware
| that the loss of the Saar would be
