the systematic sowing machine, by
the wedding undertaken in dozens
of millions Of collectivized hectares.
A serious factor was the very early
sowing, which in 1884 in various
sections of the country embraced an
area of over four million hectares,
and above all the quick completion
of the early sowing. These newly
won victories reveal the collective
economy in the light of its vast
potential abilities, its brilliant tech
meal achievements at the machine
and tractor stations.
COMPARED with the striking ex-
y ample of the rapid completion
of the earliest sowing is the record
Of the beet sowing in 1894. The
entire Ukraine had completed it's
beet sowing by April. The organi-
cation of the sowing, too, was in
comparably better than last year
The result was a rich sugar-beet
harvest, gathered in long before the
date set.
The collective farms are already
occupied with the necessary chores
preparatory to the 1885 harvest.
The preparations will include in the
first weeks of the new year the
enormous task Of getting all fallow
lands ready by March, which not
even the Ukrainian steppes could
have accomplished before COLLECTIVE
zation. The major part of the fall
low land of the Soviet Union had
not been organized before April
and May. The total area embraced
by the May following comprises 49,
100000 hectares, as against 1000
hectares last year. The plan for
the spring blowing was raised in
the course of the year from 36.5 to
Alb million hectares. The signifl-
canoe of the spring blowing is gen.
orally understood. The ground
covered by the spring blowing

rich harvests in the Volga district,
in West Siberia and other regions
of the Union for this year are by
no means unconnected with the
timely and successful spring -plow-
ing of past seasons.
THE spring-fallowing, which be-
4 fore the establishment of col
lectivization was hardly ever in
use, had become the best weapon
in fighting the drought. The last

Soviet Power Advances on the Eoe
OF It's Seventeenth Anniversary

THE national economy of the So
Wet Union has entered on the
fourth quarter of the second year
Of the Second Five Year Plan. The
principal decisive departments of
Socialist economy in the last quar-
ter showed production figures which
in the steadily growing national
economy of the Soviet Union were
unknown in previous years, either
as regards quality or quantity.
For the first three quarters of
the current year Soviet heavy in
dustry-as compared with the same
three quarters Of the previous year
marked productive increase of
from % to 20 per cent. Within the
bounds of these figures for all
heavy industry may be seen cross
sections of the most important
branches, whose towering produc-
ton reaches to much higher per-
centage levels. The nonferrous
metal industry, which in recent
years has not kept pace with even
the superfluous departments of the
national economy and had come to
hopeless impasse, was worked this
year with remarkable results. Ore
smelling outreached itself for the
first three quarters by an increase
of 49.7 over the previous year, ac-
complishing rs per cent of its year
plan. Coke products climbed 40.6
per cent over last year, iron-ore
production 49.1 per cent, and steel
smelling 42.6 per cent.
From month to month the quail
ity as we'll as the quantity of pro-
duction of light industry rose
greatly. More and more did it be-
come possible to satisfy the de-
mands of the population for all
sorts of necessary articles, although
these demands, in consequence Of
the steady rise in the living stand
ards of the working class, became
more exacting every day.
The results of the first three
quarters prove the colossal achieve
ments and point to the future pos
sibilities of Socialist economy. These
results give one the conviction that
the tremendous national economic
plan for the second year of the
Second Five-Year Plan will be full
filled without the slightest pause in
production.
THE country has to its credit for
l the last quarter indispensable
victories in more fields than heavy
industry. The achievements in
agriculture for 1884 will not be fully
apparent until the 18th anniversary
of the October Revolution. But
already indications are that the
present year, which for agriculture
is an exceptional one, will show a
measure Of productivity by far ex-
ceeding last years record breaking
performance.
In early 1884 drought seized the
entire Soviet Union. Even in the
moist and seni-tropical zones rain
had not fallen. Only the excep-

Socialist Is Praised for
His Support of (
The n. r. A.

Celebrating the inclusion of the
Socialist, David Dubinsky, into the
executive council of the A. F. Of L.,

was held Sunday night, at which
Matthew Vol, vice president of the
A. F. of L., and official in the fas-
cist Civic Federation; Frank Nor

speakers.
Dubinsky was elected a mer. Der
of the enlarged executive council
of the A. F. of L. at its last con-
vention in San Francisco, and
typifies the united front Of the re-
dictionary leaders of the Socialist
Party with the top leaders in the
A. F. of L. who have broken strike
after strike.
Vol had only the highest praise
for Dubinsky, who, as president Of
the International Garment Workers
Union, has worked close with the
N. r. A., and its New Deal anti
labor policies.
Woll, who has spread fascist prop
uganda for the Hitler government
in the United States, as an official
Of the Civic Federation, declared
we have shown that we have no
use for Hitler and Hitlerism, and
we hurl defiance at the fascist en-
emies Of the labor movement every-
where"
This is how the Socialist leaders
form the united front against fas-
cism," by holding love feast with
an outstanding friend of the fas-
cistS who at one time spreads their
literature, and at another mouths
phrases against fascism.

OAKLAND, Calf, Nov. 6. - A

San Francisco Bay from the East
Bay District on Oct. Is to pre-
sent resolutions to the German
Consul in San Francisco, ce-
handing the release of Ernst

Mill Virginia Ward, spokesman

pute, the union declared that IL
learned that the Cotton Textile IN
stitute and the Silk Code authori-
ties are bringing pressure to bear
against settlement that would re-
suit in 100 per cent union shop
and substantial improvements for
the workers.
The forces of reaction feared
that gains by labor in the dyeing
industry would be reflected in a
short time in other textile fields
and as a result are opposing the dye
workers in their historic struggle
for decent conditions" declared the
union statement.
Try A. and r. Trick
Trying the same trick against the
workers that the A and P. used in
Cleveland, when hit by strike, tho
dyers' institute declared that the
operators feel that further con-
tinuation of the dyeing industry in
the Passaic Valley is economically
unsafe in view of present condi--
tions and union activities" The
bosses claim that their work is be-
ing diverted to Pennsylvania, New
England and the Southern States.
The statement of the dyeing bosses
is apparently the first blast to mo-
bilize an hysteria against the strik-
ers among the small business peo-
pie and middle class people gen
orally.
Yesterday, only few hours after
Charles Stettin tried to tell the
strikers that there is no chance for
81 an hour for a 30-hour week and
was shouted down, he was removed
from the Settlement Committee.
The workers thereby served notice
on what awaits any official who
dares to deviate from instructions.

last year the sowing had reached
only 31,700,O00 hectares.
The detailed results for this year
of collectivisation and Soviet pro-
duce, as we'll as their organizational
and economic bases, will unfold
themselves strikingly enough in
the course of the whole develop
ment of agriculture. The state
agricultural plan for this entire
year will be altogether fulfilled in
very short time from now. Al
ready, lie. using the figures of Oct.
Is, the agricultural plan of the
Union for the whole year has been
achieved by 94.9 per cent, one of
the collectivized area by 97.9 per
cent. Last year at the identical
period saw only 1913 per cent of the
amount fulfilled. The plan for
the month of October was COM
pleted by the 18th of the month.
In the process of distributing the
profit of the collective farms among
their members and in the face of
detailed grain SURPRISES of the col
lectivized peasants the huge
amount of agricultural purchases
from state and cooperative organi-
cations stands out above everything
else and already outstrips the agri-
cultural plan. These organizations
themselves turned out by the 18th
of October almost SO million pools
Ga pood is 36 pounds of corn and

stuffs. All these accounts show
that the collectivized town has
made mighty step forward on the
road of culture and living stand
ards.

Bv ]. STAIN

By j. STAIN
THE october Revolution is not only revolution
1 within national limits" 1t is above all revo-
luton bearing an international stamp world revo-
luton, for it means fundamental change in the
whole history of mankind, from the old capltaIlst
world to the new Socialist world
The october Revolution differs in principle from
all revolutions of the past The aim which it sets
itself is not the replacement Of one form of ex-
ploitaton by another of one group Of expoiters by
another but the abolition of all exploitation Of
BY man. the humiliation of all and every group
of exploiers the setting up of the dictatorship OF
the proetariat the setting up Of the power OF the
revolutionary class among all subjected classes
which have arisen up to now and organization OF
a new, classics Socialist society.
Precisely for this reason the victory of the Oc-
tober Revolution means a fundamental change in
the history of humanity.
That is the reason why the October Revolution
is a revolution bearing international character,
a world revolution. Therein lies also the reason
for the profound sympathy the Subjugated classes
of all peoples cherish for the october Revolution,
in which they see the guarantee of their liberation.
whole number of fundamental questions can
be pointed out upon the line Of which the effect
of the October Revolution upon the development of
the revolutionary movement Of the whole world pro-
ceeds:
l. The october Revolution is characterized in
the first place by the fact that it broke through the
front of world Imperialism, overthrow the imperial
list bourgeosie in Of the biggest capitalist
tries and placed power in the hands of the Socialist
proletariat.
The class of wage slaves, the class of the down.
trodden, the class of the oppressed and exploited
has for the first time in the history of humanity
risen to be the ruling class and by its example in
spired the proletariat of all countries.
New Epoch
That means that the October Revolution opened
a new epoch, epoch of the proletarian revolutions
in the imperialist countries. 1t has deprived the
landowners and the capitalists of the means and
instruments of production and converted them into
social property, and by this means opposes social
property against bourgeois property 1t has thereby
exposed the lie of the capitalists regarding the in
volatility, the sacredness and the permanency Of
bourgeois property.
1t has wrested power from the bourgeoise, de-
prived it of political rights shattered the bourgeois
state apparatus and handed over power to the
soviets, thereby opposing bourgeois parliamentarsn
the capitalist democracy, with the Socialist Soviet
power as the proletarisn democracy. Lafargue was
right when he said already in 1887, that on the
day following the revolution "a former capitalists
will lose the right to VOTE" The October Revolu-
ton thereby exposed the lie of the social democrats
that peaceful transition to Socialism by bourgeois
parliamentarism is possible.

tional force behind collectivization,
the unexampled and inspiring CO.
operation Of the collectivized peas
ant masses, for whom the only con-
Germ was the fateful outcome of
the drought and the carrying
through of their program, only the
activity of the associated factories,
could have lifted the threatening
danger of the drying out of all
standing grain. While the final re-
suits paint the prospects as being
no worse than those of last year,
nevertheless they are better in q
good many regions than for the
record harvest of 1888.
A considerable check-up Of those
farms which had suffered greater
losses than others during the
drought, undertaken in the Middle
Volga region, disclosed a greater
harvesting of crops than for all
previous years. Areas like Asov,
Schwartzmeer, Gaues and Kim,
which had been given up for lost,
turned out surprising amount of
profit. In the Central Asiatic Re-
publics produce was stored in such
huge quantity that it would have
been impossible to consume all of
it in half century. The Moscow,
Ural and Siberian districts pro-
duced comparable harvests. The
collective farms Of the Moscow dis
trict give instances of having Sown

approximately 100 pounds Of win
ter wheat, winter sowing having
never been undertaken before, but
now intensively practiced by COL
lectivized peasants.
in any critical examination of the
results of the agricultural year of
1884 it is very important to keep in
mind the fact that the state seed
ing plans for the main products un-
der cultivation were far exceeded.
Specifically they are summer wheat
estimated at a million hectares
hectare is 2.5 acres-sown above the
plan) and oats 100000 hectares
above plan). The planned sowing
for barley was as strongly exceeded,
with some 100000 hectares over.
The correspondence between the
amount exceeding the state sowing
plan and the fact that there were
such good harvests is especially to
be noted.
The successes gained in Socialist
agricultural economy stand in direct
line with the unparalleled features
of collectivization, which itself gov
ems the entire fate of agriculture,
especially as concerns the swift rise
in field-cultiyation. These sue
ceSses were anticipated by the in
crease of acreage of fallow and idle
lands made productive, accom-
ulished through collectivization, by
the transition to deeper tractor

yesterdays election, with its I'M
usually large turnout for an off
year, early reports showed a mill
tant current of working class
at the polls against capitalist prom
ises and capitalist oppression.
Four men were killed and four
teen others were wounded at Kaly-
res, Pa, anthracite mining town
near Hazelton, when a Democratic
parade was raked by the gunfire
of local Republican machine bench

Bruno would lost political control
at the polls.
In Philadelphia, Pa, william

The ugly visage Of Judge Lynch
was seen all over the South as rul-
ing class agents tried desperately to
prevent Negroes from exercising
the right to vote. Disorders" were
reported in a number of places.
Press dispatches indicate an unusual
storm of terror against the Negro
people throughout the entire South
land, with lynch mob gathered in
Holland, Mo, in an attempt to muir
der a number of Negroes who were
on their way to the polls. One
white man, Horace Terrell, was slain
by gunner, who tried to prevent
Terrell from bringing Negro voters
to the polls. John E. Terrell, father
Of the slain man, and Clarence
Posey, another white farmer, were
both critically wounded by the
thugs.
Two men were in a hospital and
other were less seriously injured in
election fights in Pittsburgh. Gun
fire broke out in the heavily pop
uplated Negro working-class session
of Chicago.
In New Mexico National Guard
detachments were brought into
play and New York City saw an
unprecedented police mobilization
at the polls.
In California in the West, in
New York in the East and at many
important points in between, I'M
precedented Communist votes were
rolled up.
In Cleveland, 80 out of SO wards
in Cleveland and five surrounding
townships were covered by workers
supplied with Communist election
material. Hundreds of workers re-
ported at ward centers at am,
prepared to carry through the final
steps in the tasks of rolling up
Communist vote of unprecedented
size. In Youngstown and in smaller
steel centers nearby, the same en-
ergetic activity and enthusiastic re-
Spouse at the polls marked the
progress of the Communist vote
through the day.
The Communist vote, while not
completely tabulated in such centers
as Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh
and New York, showed every pos
sibility of living up to its pre-elec-
tion promise of being the largest in
the history of the Communist Party
in those centers.
In Illinois, where almost all the
Communist candidates were forced
off the ballot by a last-minute
legalistic maneuver of the State
election officials. the Communist
vote resulting from the write-in
conducted by the Com
munist Party, will be more difficult
to tabulate.
