Nations Council was told today that
the activities of Hitherto patrols in
Austria, the Saar and Danzig polish

Nazis.

of Italy in pledging support to Chan
cellor Dolfuss of Austria in his strug-
gle against the Nazi wing Of his fas-
cist Heimwehr (Home Guards. It
was stated today that DolfuSs is losing
out in his fight against his Nazi OPP
ponents.
The National Socialists (Nazis) were
reported to be in full control of the
government apparatus In Danzig, and
to be suppressing Polish newspapers
and imprisoning their editors in the
struggle with Poland for control Of
the supposedly Free City of Dam
zig" In the Saar territory, now m-
der control Of French imperialism,
the Nazis are using the courts to
bludgeon their political opponents
and to assure that the announced
pleblscite will be Overwhelmingly in
favor Of the return OF the Saar to
Germany.

UM.W.A. rank and file from forming united front
with the workers strike in the United Anthracite
Miners nsed by the betrayers Cappelin and Maloney.
Both of these leading forces have been working
against the miners each in their own particular way.
The Cappelin Maloney gang forced to call the strike
did everything to limit it to their needs of fighting
for leadership over the miners The U.MW.A. strike
breakers did all they could to keep the membership
in their union from joining the strike and making 1t
real fight for wages, conditions and unified union.
They greeted the vicious strikebreaking injunction
with Joy This is true to the spirit and deeds Of the
N-R.A and the whole policy Of Lewis during the
Pennsylvania coal strike.
THESE gentlemen, with records OF srikebreaking IN

He Illustrated Lenin's keenness in
picking up and aiding the self-help
activities of the masses and how he
instantly saw the significance of the
first Subotnik, advertised it and par
ticipated in it, and the Subotnik be-
came the forerunner of the present
Socialist competition.
Stetsky then reviewed in detail the
progress of the Soviet Union during
the last ten years, successfully carry

tasks outlined by Lenin. He paid high
tribute to Stain as the leader who

The audience frequently interrupted
this part of his address with bursts
of applause.
Closes On High Note of Socialist
Victory
Stetsky closed his speech on the
high note of Socialist victory gained
in the decisive fight against the last
remnants of capitalism, which Lenin
foretold and had warned must be
undertaken at the right moment.
Stetsky also lauded the Red Army
as an army OF educated workers and
collective farmers, not like the Tsar-
ist army Of peasants.

A tremendous ovation greeted his
statement that Stain had led the
Party in the solution of these Len1n-
ist tasks during the past ten years.
The principal speaker, Stetsky of
the Central COMMITTEE of the Rus
sian Communist Party, declared that
Leninism was fighting slogan in
all fields of politics, industry,
science and agriculture, and Len
in a many-sided genius in each.
He told the story of Lenin's
life for two hours, proving these
points while the audience sat enrap-
tured. He particularly stressed Len
ms insistence on the unity of theory
and practice. He gave examples Of
how Lenin, even while in hiding dur
ing the Kerensky persecution, care
fully preserved the MARKHAM writings
and theory of the dictatorship of the
proletariat, while actively planning
all stages of the revolution to estab-
lish the proletarian dictatorship.
Lenin AS the Great Constructor
Stetsky then described Lerin as the
great constructor, leading the detailed
work of building Socialism after the
successful october Revolution, but at
the same time directing the strategy
Of the Civil War better than the old
est generals. He brought in the
Brest-Litovsk Treaty to show Lenin's
courageous simplicity if job had TO
be done. Lenin, he pointed out, was
not afraid Of words such as shame
full peace" or of jibes Of opponents.
Meanwhile Lenin found time to re-
ceive delegations of workers and
peasants, attend to their requests.
Even during the sabotage by bank
clerks, Lenin saw that payment was
made to a peasant for a horse con-
fiscated by Tsarist officers.
Stetsky emphasized Lenin's slogan
to learn from our mistakes. Lenin
trusted the workers and peasants TO
rally in irresistible support for the
soyiets II once convinced by deeds

He was the leader of the general

Machado, who at that time ordered

Japan Squeezing u. s.
Out ofPhiIippine Market

MANILA, Jan. Distributors of
American textiles in the Philippines
have appealed to the Washington
Government for aid against Japanese
competition, which they declare is
driving American trade out of the
Islands.
The distributors indicated that
Roosevelt's cheapening of the dollar
had not been effective in meeting
japanese rivalry for the Philippine
and world market, and that despite
wage cuts and speed-up in the Amer
lean textile industry, the Japanese
were still able to sell their goods at
a cheaper price.
One Of the principal distributors
cabled his home Office that unless
some action was immediately forth
coming, the market would soon be
completely lost to Japan.
