Finally and most important the industrial crisis takes
place under conditions of the general crisis of capitalism when
capitalism has and have leading states in colo
Mes and dependent countries those forces and stability, which
had in the prewar period and before the October RevOu
lion when industry capitalist countries received heritage

and an army of millions unemployed from which longer

Such are the circumstances determining the deep, pro-

These circumstances explain the fact that the crisis

embracing the credit system currency the sphere of debts

Grace of God" CThunderous ap-
plauSe)
There has already been one such
war against the U. S. S. R., you will
remember, fifteen years ago. AS IS
known, universally honored Churchill,
at that time, put this war in
poetical formula, Invasion of four
teen powers" You, of course. re-
member that this war consolidated
all the toilers Of our country in
unified camp of elf-Sacrificing
fighters defending their workers, and
peasants fatherland against foreign
enemies. You know how it ended. 1t
ended with the routing of interven-
tionists from our country and the
creation of revolutionary committees
Of action" in Europe. 1t is hardly to
be doubted that a second war against
the U, S. S. r. will bring a complete
defeat Of the aggreSsoTS, revolutions
in a number Of countries in Europe
and Asia, and Smashing of bour-
geois landlord governments in these
countries.
Such are the war plans Of en-
broiled bourgeois politicians.
AS you see, they don't sparkle with
wit or valor (Applause).
But if the bourgeoisie selects the
path of war, the working class Of
capitalist countries, brought to des-
peration by four years of crisis and
unemployment, will enter the road Of
revolution. This means that the rev.
dictionary crisis ripens and will con-
tinue to ripen. And as the revolu-
tionary crisis will ripen, the faster,
the more the bourgeoisie will become
embroiled in its war combinations,
the oftener it will resort to terrorist
methods Of struggle against working
class and the toiling peasants.

CAPITALISM PREPARES FOR WORLD WAR

It therefore is not amiss to examine
in brief those plans of organization
for war which are at present being
nurtured in the circles of bourgeois
politicians.
Some think that war should be or
ganized against one Of the great pow
ers. They think of administering an
annihilating defeat, and improve
their own business at the expense of
one of these powers. Suppose they
organize such q war. What may come
out Of it2 1t is known that during
the first imperiaist war they also
wanted to annihilate one OF the great
powers-Germany-and profit at its
expense. But what came out of this?
They did not annihilate Germany but
sowed in Germany such hatred to-
wards conquerors and created such
fertile soil for revenge, that to date
they still cannot, and we might say,
will not, be able soon to get rid of the
hideous mess which they themselves
had brewed. But it did result in the
smashing Of capitalism in Russia, VIC
tory of the proletarian revolution in
Russia, and-in the Soviet Union.
Where is the guarantee that the Sec
ond imperialist war will give them
better" results than the first? Would
it not be more correct to suppose the
opposite?
Others think that war should be Or
ganized against one of the militaris-
ticaIy weak countries, but large as a
market, for instance against China,
which 1t appears cannot, in addition
even be called state in the proper
sense Of the word, but represents only
''unorganized territory" which may
be seized by strong powers. They ap-
parently want to divide her finally
and improve their business at her ex-
pense.
Suppose they organize such war.
What may be the result of this? 1t
is known that In the beginning of the
18th century, Italy and Germany
were regarded in the same way as
China is regarded at present, i.e., they
were considered "unorganized terri
tories" and not states, and they we're
enSlaYed. What was the result of
this? The result was as is known,
the wars Of Germany and Italy for
independence, and the uniting Of
these countries into independent
states. The result was the strength
ening of the hate towards their op-
pressors in the hearts of the peoples
of these countries, results OF which
have not been eliminated to date,
and We might say, will not be elimi-
mated.
The question arises: Where is the
guarantee that the same will not
happen as a result of an imperialist
war against China?
The third group thinks that war
should be organized by the ''higher
race" say the German race" against
the Tower race" in the first place,

a result of these achievements, the

MILITARY INITIATION, FACTORS IN CRISIS

Some are inclined to ascribe this
phenomenon to the influence OF ex-
cIusively artificial factors, such as the
military-in1ationist conjuncture.
There can be no doubt that military,
indationist factors play here no small
role. This is especially true in rela-
tion to Japan, where this artificial
factor is the chief and decisive force
in some of the revival Of some chiefly
military branches of industry. BuU it
would be a great mistake to explain
all of this by nlilitary-inaationist con-
juncture. Such explanation is incor-
rect, if only because the increase in
industry which I have characterized
is observed not in separate and acct

TRADE FIGHT SPEEDS WAR

The result of the drawn out eco
nomic crisis was an unprecedented
sharpening of the political situation
in capitalist countries, both within
these countries as well as between
them.
The strengthening of the struggle
for foreign markets has resulted in
the abolition of the last remnants of
free trade. Prohibitive tariffs, trade
war, currency war, dumping and
many other analogous measures dem
onstrate that the extreme national
ism in economic policies has sharp
ened to the extreme the relations
between countries, and has created
the basis for military clashes and has
put war on the agenda as a means
for a new redivision of the world and
spheres Of influence in favor of the
stronger powers.

GREAT GROWTH IN RATE OF FARM coLLEcr1vEs

Many times more slowly than in
industry, but still faster than during
the period when individual farming
was predominating, the advance of
the basic branches Of agriculture has
been growing during the period under
report. In stock breeding we even had
an opposite process, falling in num-
bers of cattle, and only in 1888, in the
one hog breeding branch, indications
Of an advance have been noted.
Apparently the immense difficulties
of consolidating the scattered small
scale peasant households into Kol-
khozes collective FARMS, the difficult
task of creating large number of
large scale grain and stock breeding
farms on empty ground. and in gen.
eral the reorganizational period of re-
constructing and putting individual
farming on new Kolkhoz rails which
requires much time and large ex-
penses, all these factors inevitably
pre- determined both the small tempo
in the advance OF agriculture and the
comparatively long period of decline
in the development Of stock breeding.
Essentially, the period under report

might furnish an outlet from the sit

destined to fertiIize the lower" and

which is as far from science as
heaven from earth, suppose this
strange theory has been realized in
practice. What may result from this?

let it be said among us that ancient

which cannot be said of representa-

But what was the result of this?
The result was that non- Romans,
that is, all "barbarians," united
against the common enemy and
overturned Rome with q crash, The
question arises: Where is the guar
antee that the claims of the repre-
sentative contemporary higher race"
will not bring about the same results?
Where is the guarantee that the fas-
cist literary politicians in Berlin will
have more luck than the old expe-
rienced conquerors in Rome? Is it not
more correct to suppose the opposite?
Finally, a third group thinks that
war should be organized against the
U.S.SR. They think that they will
smash the U.S.S.R., divide it's terri
tory, and profit at it's expense. It
would be q mistake to suppose only
certain military circles in Japan
think SO. We know that similar plans
are nurtured in the circles of politi-
cal leaders in some European powers
Suppose these gentlemen passed from
words to deeds. What might be the
result?
1t is hardly possible to doubt that
this war will be war most dan
gerous for the bourgeoisie. 1t will be
meet dangerous not only because
the Peoples U. S. S. r. will fight to
a finish for the conquest of the rev.
olution. Tt will be most dangerous
for the bourgeois also because this
war will take place not only on fronts
but also in the rear of the enemy
The bourgeoisie may not doubt that
numerous friends of the working
class of the U. S. 8. r. in Europe
and Asia will strive to hit at the rear
of their oppressors, who undertook
criminal war against the Father
land of the working class of all
countries. And let not the bourgeois
gentlemen blame us if on the day
following such a war they will miss
some of their own governments

The task is to continue carrying
out this policy with all firmneSs and
consistency. From the point of view
Of the internal situation in the U. S.
S. R., the period under report pre-
sents a picture of constantly develop
ing advance, both in the sphere Of
national economy, as well as in the
sphere of culture.
This advance was not only a mere
qualitative accumulation of strength.
This advance is significant in that
it brought about basic changes in the
structure of the U.SS.R. and radi-
cally changed the face of the country.
From an agrarian country, it be-
came an industrial country. From
country of small scale individual
farming, it became a country of col
lective, large-scale, mechanical farm
ing. From a country that was dark,
illiterate, uncultured, it became -
more correctly, it is becoming-a
country hterate and cultured, COW
cred with an immense network Of
higher secondary and elementary
schools in the languages of the ma
tionalities OF the U.SS.R.

been created; machine construction,
automobile industry, tractor industry,
chemical industry, engineering indus
try, aviation, construction of har-
vester combines, production of power
full turbines and generators, special
steel, ferro-alloys, synthetic rubber,
nitrogen, artificial fibres, etc, (prO-
lOnged applause).
During this period, thousands of
new modern industrial enterprises
have been built and started. Such
giants as Dnieprostroy, Magnitostroy,
Kusnestroy, Chilarstroy, Dobrike,
Uralmashstroy, Kramashstroy, have
been built.

NOT END OF CRISIS

Does this mean that we are con-
fronted with transition from crisis to
usual depression bringing with it new
advance and poisoning industry No,
it does not.
AT all events at present, there do
not exist such data, direct or indirect,
which would indicate an approaching
advance in industry in capitalist coun-
tries. Further judging by all such data,
there cannot be, at least in the near
future; it cannot, because all those I'M
favorable conditions continue to exist
which do not give industry of the cap
italiSt countries the possibility of rise

try in total production grew from
99,40 per cent in 1929 to 1898 per
cent in 1888, while the proportion OF
private industry correspondingly fell
from 6 to OF per cent.
This shows that we have already
finished with capitalist elements in
industry and the socialist system Of
economy is at present the only sys-
tenn in our industry (appIause).
But of all the achievements gained
by industry during the period under
report, the most important achieve
ment should be considered the fact
that it succeeded during this time In
training and educating thousands OF
new people and new leaders of in
duStry whole strata Of new engi-
neers and technicians, hundreds of
thousands of young skilled workers
who have mastered new technique
and who moved our socialist industry
forward. There can be no doubt that
without these people industry could
not have had those successes which
it has at present and Of which it is
Justified in being proud.
Data show that during the period
under report 100000 more or less
qualified skilled workers have gradu--
ated from factory schools into pro-
duction and more than $4,000 engi-
neers and technicians have gradu-
ated from higher technical and gen.
eral educational institutions and
technical schools. If it is trl,s that
the problem Of forces is the most
serious problem Of our development,
then it must be recognized that our
industry is beginning seriously 10
master this problem.
Such are the basic achievements Of
our industry.
Tt would, however, be incorrect 10
think that industry has had only
successes. No, it has also its short
comings."
Comrade Stain then enumerated
the most important of these short
comings and dwelt in detail on the
immediate tasks in the sphere of in
dustry: ITO maintain the present
leading role of machine construction
in industry, to put an end to the
tagging behind of ferrous and nom
ferrous metallurgy, to develop coal
mining in new regions, particularly In
the Far East and Siberia, and the
Transforming of Kuzbas into second
Donbas, to seriously undertake or
ganization Of a new oil base in tbs
Urals.
Develop production OF goods Of gen.
eral consumption in all branches 81
light, food and timber industries.
To improve the quality Of goods, ct
tain systematic growth Of labor pro-
ductivity, lowering Of costs and intro
ducing business accounting.

the advance into Northern China
have sharpened the situation still
more. The accentuation of the
struggle for the Pacific and the
growth of military naval ornaments
in Japan, the U. S. A, England and
France, represent the result of this
sharpening situation.
Germany's exit from the League
and the spectre Of revenge gave new
impetus to the sharpening situation
and the growth of ornaments in
Europe.
No wonder the bourgeois pacifism
maintains its pitiable existence, and
babies of disarmament" while it is
replaced by business" talks regard
ing increased ornaments.
Again, as in 1914, the parties of
militant imperialism, the parties of
war and revenge, now advance to the
first place.
Things obviously move toward a
new war.

a revolutionary crisis, the bourgeoisie
must get into hopeless situation,
that its end accordingly is already
pref determined that victory of rev.
olution is thus already assured, and
that all that is left for them is only
wait for the downfall of the bour-
geoisie and to write victorious resolu-
tons. This is a profound error. Vic
tory OF revolution never comes by 1T
self. 1t must be prepared and at
tanned. And only a strong revolu-
tionary party can prepare and at
tain it. There are moments when
the situation is revolutionary, when
the power of the bourgeoisie totters
to the very foundation, but victory
OF revolution still does not come be-
cause there is no revolutionary party
or proletariat sufficiently strong and
authoritative to lead masses and take
power into its hands. 1t would be
unreasonable to think that such
accidents" cannot take place"
Stain then reminds his hearers Of
Lenin's words at the Second Con-
gress of the Comintern, on the ques-
ton of the revolutionary crisis as a
basis for revolutionary action that
prove apriori, any absolutely hope
less situation OF the bourgeoisie
would be an empty pedantry or play
on conceptions and words. Real
proof in such and similar ques-
tons can only be the practice Of rev.
dictionary parties, their sufficient
consciousness, organization, contact
with exploited masses, determination,
ability to utilize the crisis for sue
cessful, for victorious revolution.

ficult it is for the Soviet Union to

U.s.s.R. 2sO PER CENT ADVANCE

Industry in England and Germany
has not yet reached the pre-war
level, while in the United States and
France it is higher than the pre-war
level by some percentage, while the
Soviet Union has increased its indus
rrial production during this period, in
comparison to the pre-war level by
more than two hundred ninety per
cent. (Applause)
From this table we can make this
further conclusion that during the
time when basic industry in capitalist
countries continued to fall, beginning
1890, and especially from 1881, reach
ing in 1892 the lowest point of the
