CATHOLIC YOUTHS

Adopt Resolution Criticizine
Administration for Stand
In Mexican Situation.

A resolution criticizing the admin
istration for its policy of silence with
respect to the alleged violation Of civil
and religious liberty in Mexico was
adopted at a conference OF the Cath
olic Youth Movement in the District
of Columbia, held yesterday at George
town University.
Sodality delegates from a dozen
colleges and high schools commended
small group in the Senate and
House for protesting against condi-
tons in Mexico and declared that the
labor, zeal and activity Of all those
patriotic masses of citizens who are
defending American principles of
civil and religious liberty has been
frustrated by the refusal of admins
tration leaders to hold hearings on
the question of alleged violation of
American rights in Mexico
After Representative Clare G. Fen
erty Of Pennsylvania had outlined ef-
forts to bring the Mexican situation
before Congress, the students confer
ence voted to "disaSSociate" itself
from the "tacit appreciation given by
the Roosevelt administration to Mex
lean propaganda
The conference bestowed the tale
of ''paladines of civil and religious
liberty" on Senator William z. Bo-
rah of Idaho and Representatives
John P. Higgins of Massachusetts,
William M. Citron Of Connecticut,
Clare G. Fenerty of Pennsylvania,
Hamilton Fish of New York, Emanuel
Celler Of New York, John G. Boylan
of New York and William T. Drummer
of New York for "courageously taking
the initiative in the defense of Amer
lean rights in Mexico"
Protests ..iso were made against the
dissemination of Communist propa-
ganda in American schools and the
proposed anti-war strike called in
schools here for April IL.

competition, the government decided
On a new strength of $4,000 men,
which the Red Army achieved by
the end of 1884. This figure was
limited only by the development of
new technique and mechanism. 1t
should be remembered that before
the war, in 1914, the Tsarist army
had l,458,762 men. There can be
no doubt that without the brilliant
understanding of Stain, and the
prompt moves to strengthen our
Far Eastern frontiers, we should
have not been able to carry out the

which we and the entire world

Secondly, correctly distribute

tasks are formulated. These were
the tasks to which the Seventeenth
Party Congress devoted exceptional
attention. The power in organiza-
ton is fully understood by Bolshe-
Yiks.
Thirdly, Organize wages so that
they should strengthen the decisive
links of production and stimulate
people to higher skill (Stalin}
During the past three years the
basic cadres of workers in the So
Wet factories and in construction
have been stabilized. Still, despite
all the growth in the productive ex-
perience of the huge army of new
workers, we did little to establish
firm factory forces and secure de-
cisive sections in which the work
ers knew well their business, their
equipment, and duties. We must
not forget that it is often necessary
to have the old forces among the
workers renew their studies, because
the new technique is little known
to them.

Cattle Breeding

THE most important problem be-
fore agriculture at the present time
is to raise the level of cattle breed
ing. At the Seventeenth Congress
of the G. P. S. u, Stain placed this
task before all kolkhoz villages,
namely, to secure a turn in the de-
veloprnent of cattle breeding during
1894. Now, we can say that last
year saw the beginning of this turn.
I have at my disposal statistical in
formation just received, on the re-
registration of cattle carried out on
Jan. /, 1895.
These figures are not yet COM
plete, as they do not include the
Soviet kolkhozes. They refer to the
North Caucasus, Saratoy Stalin-
grad, the Western Siberian district,
Moscow, Ivanovsk, Kursk, Voronezh
Provinces, also Bashkiria, Tatsriai
Crimea and the Ukraine. But al
ready they make it possible for us
| to Judge the turn in cattle breeding
made during 1894. A comparison
of parallel figures for Jan. l, 1881
and Jan. 1, 1895 shows that during
the last year. the number of horse;

Passing TO the circumstances
which caused an increase in the
numbers Of the Red Army, Tukha-
chevski stated:
You know that the desires of
the imperialists who are parttc-
ularly striving in the East to pre-
pare a sudden seizure of our ter
ritory, especially the Maritime Prov
inces, have compelled us to form
new garrisons, stationed in fortifi-
cations erected near the frontiers.
Naturally" continued Tukha-
chevski "the formation of special
garrisons along the enormous
length Of our frontiers required
firstly a considerable increase in
the numerical strength of the army,
and secondly, considerable expendi-
ture of funds.
"As a result, the numerical
strength of the Red Army, some
what less than 100000 men, which
was our basis during the past years,

litical and moral conditions Of the
Red Army are as firm as never be-
fore" declared Tukhaehevsky as the
Congress tempestuously applauded.
The Red Army has had consider
able successes also in artillery and
armaments. Since the Sixth Con-
gress Of Soviets the number of ma
chine guns in infantry and cavalry
regiments has more than doubled,
and in aviation and tanks have in
creased seven times, and the num-
ber of guns and tanks has increased
four and half times and the num-
ber of heavy guns has more than
doubled.
Since the Sixth Congress the Red
Army has also considerably in
creased. Taking the navy at the
time of the Sixth Congress as 100
per cent it now has 535 per cent in
submarines, LOO per cent in guard
ships, 47O per cent in torpedo boats,
ETC."

Soviet Wage Policy

1.-THE wage policy of Soviet power
is directed towards raising the
standard of living of the whole
mass of the workers; this, so to
speak, is its very basis. Only chat
terboxes and opportunists can sub
stitute for our policy the policy of
petty bourgeois levelling of wages,
without taking into consideration
the productiveness of labor, with
out considering the qualifications of
workers. After all, the main task of
socialism is that Of raising the pro-
ductiYity of labor to a height ui1-
attainable by any other social
order. Without this, socialism can
not conquer. We must see to it that
every worker understands that
higher productivity of labor, that
more responsible work, that better
qualification, should be rewarded
with higher wages; then our indus
/ try will grow still more rapidly,
there will be more commodities, and
the whole working class will be the
gamer.
I'm agriculture, the whoel mass Of
collective farms entered upon a
course of healthy economic prog
ress, of strengthened discipline, and
heightened productivity of labor,
only after having rerotinced petty
bourgeois levelling Of communes,
and organizing artel collective farm
system of economy.
Nov, when our country became
Socialist in its basis, and in the de-
cisive majority of its population, the
question of correctly combining
personal interest and social inter-
est in production became a central
problem in the construction of So
cialism. Our task is to insure a
general rise in the material position
of the toilers, and at the same time
encourage work in the more i'm
portant links of production, a high
productivity of labor, and the
growth of the qualifications of in
dividual workers by raising the re-
enumeration for labor, and by build
ing our policy of wages on this
| basis.

Workers Answer Assassins

"By their criminal act in Lenin-
grad, the enemies of Soviet power
apparently wanted to bring confu-
sion into our ranks. Do not these
calculations of the enemies show
to what an extent they are de-
tached from the masses, their COM
plete isolation from the life in the
country? The million strong masses
Of workers and peasants answered
the shot in Leningrad in their own
way, answered with overwhelming
force by rallying their ranks around
Soviet power, around Stain.
IThunderous, prolonged applause,
ovation.l 1t is difficult to imagine a
greater political demonstration in
favor Of our cause and against its
enemies.
''Ths workers and collective farm
masses are consolidated around the
Party as never before. The forces
of new builders of socialism are
growing rapidly among the toilers,
particularly among the women and
the youth; this is cause for just
pride and great hope.
"Such are the facts on the basis of
which we must draw many conclu-
sions regarding our policies and
our tasks at the present period.
''The center of the economic tasks
of the Second Five Year Plan is the
complication Of the technical recon-
struetion of all branches of ma
tional economy. In the matter of
the technical re-equipment of the
Soviet Union we are moving ahead
at a real revolutionary pace. BY
acting thus, we only carry out one
of the basic historic duties of the
first proletarian state.

tary expenditure during 1884. In
stead Of the .665 10000 rubles de-
cided upon for 1894, the Commis-
sariat for defense expended FIVE
billion rubles.
The appropriations for the Com
misssriat for Defense for 1885 reach
six billion FIVE hundred million
rubles. Despite the fact that these
figures are huge, nevertheless the
U. S. S. r. expends in preLalations
for defense a considerably 5lnaller
proportion of its budget than any
capitalist country. Our military ex-
pense comprises only 10 per cent
of the total state budget, whereas
in Japan it comprises 46.5 per cent,
in Poland As per cent, etc.
All these measures, which en-
sure a considerable growth in the
technical power Of the Red Army
put point-blank before its workers
the task of mastering technique, the
task Of training the people to un-
derstand this technique and we are
working at these tasks day and
night.
The basic backbone Of the mill
tary preparation Of the Red Army
is directed toward mastering the
technique and the art Of utilizing
rapidly moving forms Of struggle.
We have nothing in common with
the Czarist army, which was un-
couth, clumsy and awkward. The
workers and peasants Red Army is
strong. Its political might, its rev.
olutionary might, is invincible, and
this demands that we be able to
conduct battles in such a manner
as to utilize our technique with the
result that in the world there will
not be another army equal to our
Red Army" Continued stormy ap-
plause)
When Tukhacheyski mentioned
the names of those to whom the
Soviet Union was primarily Obliged
for the remarkable technical equip
ment of its invincible army, when
he mentioned the names of Stain
Voroshilov and Ordjonikidze, the
Congress rose as one man in en-
thusiastic ovation. Endless hurrahs

Growth of Industry

Deyoting himself now to the mag
nificent rise of agriculture, Molotov
said; Nov we can already say that
collectiyization of agriculture in our
country is completed in the main
Four-fifths of peasant households
we're in collectiveS by the beginning
Of 1885, nine-tenths of the sown
area of the U,S.S.R. belonging to
the collective and state farms. The
individual peasant has moved into
a secondary place by the course OF
events and plays an ever decreasing
role in agriculture. The kolkhozes
are growing stronger and can al
ready tackle their really big tasks.
ever since 1883 when the process
Of reorganizing agriculture was
completed, we have secured a
notable increase in the production
of grain and industrial crops. AS a
result, already in 1888 the gross
collection of grain amounted to
590,000,D00 pools more than was
obtained from the same territory
in 1918, considered an exceptional
harvest year.
1.-THE general harvest of grain in
the Soviet Union during 1884 re-
manned on a level with 1888; how
ever, the results of the actual grain
collection, reduced by losses during
harvesting, turned out to be from
50,0o00oO to 3oo,OOO,OO0 poods more
than in 1898.
"ThiS year we have before us the
task Of considerably increasing
agricultural production in all
branches, by an amount totalling
two and half billion roubles, or an
increase by 1874 per cent.
The daily worker., 1935-02-04
New Technique


On The other hand, our party has
for several years set as our decisive
practical task the mastery of tech
nique and new machines, because
we want everything built by us to
work, well, not worse, but better
than in capitalist countries. The
great work of accomplishing these
tasks has unfolded before our eyes.
The ranks of our new engineers,
agronomists, technicians. industrial
and educational workers and others
are increasing and extending. The
people are alive with the new ap-
proach to work, and among them
there are not a few builders of our
new society whose devotion to So
cialism is boundless. With their
spirit, greater results are derived
from the work of the old forces of
specialists, too.
ut is necessary that this cause,
the cause of cultivating and quail
flying the people in agreement with
the basic problem of technical re-
construction in all branches Of ma
tional economy, should now move
forward along a wider front.

cluding part of his report.
