Plan Provides Annual
Industrial Output of
1913 Billion
HALF IN GOODS FOR USE
To Increase Railroads
by 6,831 Miles
BY VERN SMITH
Moscow Correspondent Of the
Daily Worker)


MOSCOW, Dec. 81 (By Ra-
diO) .-Nine times greater than
the pre-war level Of production
and two and One-half 20 three
times last years level are the
features of the Second Five
Year Plan approved yesterday by the
Political Bureau of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union. The al
most unbelievable figures for the new
plan are to be presented to the
Seventeenth &C.. yress of the Com
munist Party ~ Premier Viacheslay
Molotoy and V. v. Kuibyshev, Presi-
dent Of the State Planning Com
mission.
The industrial plan provides for the
staggering annual output, in value of
103, 900, 100000 rubles by the end Of
1887 as compared to $4,000, 900, 900
rubles by the end of the first Five
Year Plan in 1882. More than half,
or $4,000, 5000, 900 rubles worth, will be
in goods of popular consumption.
The total capital cost Of 1873, AGO.
900, 1000 rubles contrasts with the 50,-
500, 000, 900 rubles Of the first Five
Year Plan.
The planned advance in the liv-
ing, educational and cultural condi-
lions would, If presented by cap
italist country, be looked upon as
fairy tale.
Real Wages to Double
Real wages are to more than double,
the general consumption Of goods is
to be increased threefold, retail prices
are to be reduced thirty to forty per
cent.
The second Five Year Plan will be
completed with the liquidation of not
only illiteracy and semi illiteracy, but
will bring with 1t the carrying out Of
the general compulsory political-tech-
meal education in seven-year schools.
Health funds will be tremendously
increased and hundreds Of new cul-
tural and recreational centers opened.
Light industry will be increased
enormously compared with the first
plan. Towards the end Of the second
plan the production of automobiles

President Kalinin was follow = by
Premier v. Molotov, who was well
coined with stormy applause. He de-
nvered the report on the National
Economic Plan for 1884, the second
year of the Second Five Year Plan.
In the concluding part of his re-
port, Molotov dwelt on the interna-
tional situation OF the US.SR.
THE year 1888 was a year Of fur
Their consolidation Of the interna-
tional position of the US.S.R. The
facts speak for themselves The
greatest achievement Of the foreign
policy of tn U.S.S.R. is the establish
ment of relations with the United
States Of America. The initiative be-
longed to President Roosevelt in this
case. The government of the U.S.SR
readily met it. The artificial obstacles
existing through no fault of ours in
the relations between the worlds twf
greatest states were finally elm
mated.
ITO what extent the establishm mt
of relations answered the ripe de-
mands and deep wishes not only Of
the US.SR. but also Of America is
seen from the warm welcome of Lit
vinoff by wide circles of the American
population.
Peace Policy
1.-THE establishment of diplomatic
relations between the U.S.SR. and
the U.S.A. occurred on the basis Of an
agreement wholly in keeping with the
principles OF Soviet foreign policy.
The establishment of relations creates
favorable prerequisites for the de-
velopment of trade and economic
connections.
Under the present international
situation, it is particularly important
that the establishment Of these rela-
tions must have great and favorable
Influence on the cause Of stabiliza-
ton of international relations as a
whole, on the cause of the consolida-
ton OF universal peace.
1--WE must see all this as an i'm
portant success Of the forel N .soicy
which the Soviet government has
steadily pursued. The problems of
the struggle for the consolidation of
universal peace are still in the center
Of our attention. We don't doubt
that the struggle for peace, the

Special to the Daily WOrkerl

MOSCOW, USSR, (By Radio).-
The Central Executive Committee of
the U.S.SR. held its opening session
Thursday in a hall overcrowded with
shock workers from Moscow plants
and other industrial centers of the
US.S.R., collective farmers from the
Ukraine and the National Republics,
numerous Soviet and foreign corrres-
pondents and the Diplomatic Corps.
The whole audience rose as Joseph
Stain, General Secretary of the
Communist Party Of the Soviet
Union, appeared on the presidium,
welcomed him with long applause.
The cries Of 'Hurrah" seemed endless
In his address, Mikhail Kalinin,
President of the Council of Peoples
Commissars, said among other things
THE crisis which is raging in all
countries means that over so million
people on the earth has been rem
dered unnecessary. The masters of
capitalist society are seeking means
to get i'd Of them; their existence is
very dangerous for bourgeois society
Unemployment Misery
Imagine yourselves unemployed in
capitalist country. You are I'M
wanted; everyone regards you as a
pest. The hungry, homeless human
being is unnoticed. A man Of full
physical strength, wanting to work
at the most efficient age, is deprived
of work, OF home, OF food.
1.-THE population of the capitalist
countries, especially the children, is
decreasing. The number of suicides
due to want is increasing. Mean
while political swindlers are collect
ing, inviting them to make donations
for those starving in the Ukraine.
And where are they collecting? In
Vienna, where the Proletariat is liter
ally starving.
Prepare for More War
as the statement of the masters
of those states which were defeated
in tn last war any better a statement
than that of those which did not par
ticipate at all? Their philosophy is
simple In order to eliminte unem-
ployment, it Is necessary to seize the
land Of other states. In order that
their capitalists may grow fat, it is
necessary to commence imperialist
war again.
THE present population of the
Soviet Union has increased no less
tl.an 20 to Is million. The present
households have been socialized. The
kulak class, as a capitalist user of
land, has been completely liquidated.
It would seem as if the countryside
would be choked with a superfluity
Of people, a superfluity of labor, and
the towns choked with an influx of
peasants seeking work. However, a
miracle happened.
We have no superfiuous people.
1t Is a fact that we have no unem-
ployment This is not the result of
a rise of production due to an ac-
cidental economic situation. This
is inherent in the Soviet system;
this is the nature Of the Soviet
system.
Where do these forces come from
in a country which quite recently had
such weak, backward industry, a
country of such a low cultural level,

Mass Arrests Follow
Killing of Premier

BUCHAREST, Dec. 81. - Rumania
was put under martial law and a
military censorship of the press last
night as a result of the clash between
the bourgeois political parties on the
tempo of fascination Of the state, cul-
minatifg in the assassination OF
Premier Duca by member of the
fascist anti-Semitic Iron Guard Party.
z One thousand four hundred leaders
OF the Iron Guard Party were ar
rested, including Gen. Cantacuzemu,
who had demanded that the govern
ment accelerate the process toward
an open fascist dictatorship and the
adoption OF an even more intolerant
attitude to the Jewish minority. Can
tacuzemu had threatened Duca with
the alternative Of being shot like a
dog"
AS the body Of Duca was being
taken to the capital yesterday, a
bomb was exploded in the royal watt
ing room at the Sinaia station where
the body was held awaiting train.
In addition to three persons ar
rested on a charge of direct connec-
ton with the assassination, fascist
student is being sought by the gov
eminent. 1t is reported that several
members Of the Iron Guard were as
signed to the Job to prevent failure
Of the plot.
Constantine Angelescu Of the Lib
eral Party, to which Duca belonged,
was named Premier last night by
King Carol. The Liberal Party won
an overwhelming victory in the recent
elections by wholesale bribery and the
use Of troops to prevent peasant and
minority groups from voting in the
election.

SEES GAINS
LIEUT.. F. L. PATRICK

NEW YORK, March IL G.N.S).
Business is undergoing an en-
couraging improvement, but the
economic situation is still fraught
with dangerous possibilities, MY.
ron c. Taylor, chairman Of the
United States Steel Corporation,
declared in his annual report to
stockholders, made public today.
Taylor said:
"The outlook is encouraging,
present indications being that
sales in 1884 will exceed those
in 1888. 1t is gratifying to note
that operations in January and
February of 1894 showed i'm
prOvement over operations in the
corresponding months Of 1888.
While present indications point
toward larger volume Of busi-
ness in 1884 than 1888, the
problems which confront the
industry call for careful plan
ming and united, cooperative
effort by the entire Organiza-
tiOn."
He defended the organizations
policy in labor matters, pointing
out that the hourly wage and
salary rates have been advanced
approximately IS per cent, since
the adoption of the steel code.
The report showed that the
company's plants were operated
at an average rate of approx
mately 20 per cent of capacity
and produced 11,624,294 tons Of
rolled and finished steel products
in 1888 as contrasted with 18
per cent of capacity and total
production of 7,676,744 tons IN
1882.
The net loss for 1888, before
dividends, was $36,501,123. The
net loss before dividends in 1882
was $71,175,704.
Taylor expressed the hope that
the NRA would achieve the end
for which it was instituted, but
added that sufficient time has
not yet elapsed to determine how
successful it will be.
The Washington times., 1934-03-12
NRA To COMPEL
GUT IN HOURS

Shorter hours will be made ef-
fective promptly in all those in
dustries that can institute them
at all, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson said
today.
Two industrial groups are plan
ming to present alternative plans
for increasing employment, in
place of his 10 per cent shorten
ing of hours and 10 per cent
increase in pay. Meanwhile, the
prospect of fixing working hours
by Executive order is held in abey-
ance, pending announcement of
these views.
General johnson also said he
intends to institute radical read
justmentS III respect to COM
pliance. The number of presi-
Dental appointees to code au-
thorities would not be increased,
he said, since he felt that one
man with veto power was suf-
ficient.
Reorganization of NRA, he ad-
mitted, is in the making. It is
question largely of rearrange-
ment, since code establishment
and code administration are en-
tirely different and must be
handled in different ways.
