Reaching of the $4267 total was made possible only by the enthusiastic response of supporters to the Advocate’s financial appeal and particularly by the strong support given by organized labor.

In city and village, in factory and school, celebrations were held. At Baku a Stalin museum Bolshevik organization in Azerbaidjan was opened. Fifteen halls in the museum displayed documents reflecting Stalin’s role as founder of the Bolshevik organization in the Transcausus. In the Stalin district of Moscow an exhibition portraying Stalin’s life and activities was held. At the Palace of Pioneers in lLen- ingrad children’s gifts to Stalin on his birthday were exhibited. Last Wednesday's issue of Prav-¢ da. Communist organ, carried a short biography of Stalin drawn up by the Marx-Pneels-Lenin Institute. “The life of Stalin, the greatest proletarian revolutionary and thinker today,” stated Pravda, “teaches all people, all the Bol- sheviks of the world, how the fight for the cause of the work- ing class, for the happiness of the people, should be conducted. It teaches all Bolsheviks how to develop solicitude towards the people.” Pravda reported that 270,000,000 copies of Stalin’s works in almost a score of languages have been dis- tributed. From the presidium of the Su- preme Soviet Stalin received the highest honor the Soviet Union can bestow—the Order of Lenin—and the title, Hero of Socialist Labor. In President Kalinin’s new book, Comrade Stalin—Sixty Years, of which more than one million copies are being circulated, Stalin is ac- claimed as “a happy man who led one-sixth of the globe to socialism. We is now ready to lead it to com-— munism.” BUDYENNYE’S TRIBUTE. Marshall Simeon Budyenny, as- sistant people’s commissar of de- fense, declared in an article: “Comrade Stalin has devoted the whole of his conscious life to the struggle for the jnterests of the working people, for the interests of the party which he holds so dear. “A true son of the people, he works umnstintingly to strengthen the defense of the Soviet fatherland. Together with Lenin he built our Bolshevik party. Together with Lenin he created our powerful Red Army.” Ail the Soviet Unions’ victories and achievements, Budyenny wrote, have been indissolubly bound up with Stalin’s name. “The life and work of this great man are so many-sided that it is Celebrates; devoted to the history of the impossible to give any sort of com- plete and profound description of it not only in a brief article but even in dozens of volumes,” he stated. “Tt seems to me, however, that however many fine and warm words we may find, however much we may speak of this man, we shall not suc- ceed in describing all the great, the really supreme work that has been performed by Comrade Stalin on behalf of the interests of the great Soviet people and the working masses of the entire world.” Declaring that “it is with Com- rade Stalin’s name as their banner that the Red Army will defend the interests of our country in oncom- ing baitles,” Budyenny wrote conclusion: “Comrade Stalin symbolizes the life of happiness and joy being lived by the many million Soviet people. Comrade Stalin is our guid- ing star on the road to Commu- nism.” Premier Molotov, citing the So viet constitution, called Stalin “the ereatest representative of creative Marxism,” said: “Phe present moral and political unity of the Soviet people is due to Stalin’s correctness in his guid- ance and to his crushing internal and foreign enemies.” Chians Kai-Shek Sends Message MOSCOW, USSR. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, head of the Chin- ese national government, sent hearty congratulations to “Joseph Stalin on the occasion of his 60th birthday. : The unprecedented successes of the Soviet Union under the leader- ship of Stalin, wrote Chiang Kai- shek in his greeting, have aroused the respect of the whole world, And China, he declared, is particularly (Gontinued on Page 5) ir. ~ December 29, 1933 j [Imperialist Intrigues Jeopardize Security Of Balkan Country BELGRADE, Jugoslavia—Behind the news that the fascist- monarchist Jugoslav regime is Anglo-French imperialism is point and to push its anti-Soviet terrorism great Communist-led demonstrations against war lies” the intrigues of rival imperialisms in the Balkans. bring the Balkan states to its side in operations to the Balkans, to strike at its adversary at a weak trying to suppress by police striving by every means to | order to extend military machinations. Strong pressure has been brought} on Jugoslavia to enter the war on the Anglo-French side, for in re- cent years Yugoslavia has played a leading role among the Balkan states. It was the principal initiator of: the Little Entente. It was its eravedigger as well, since the for- mer Stoyadinovich government, with its foreign politics orientation on Berlin and Rome, brought about abolition of the Little Hntente. With Turkey, Jugosiavia played no less important a role in crea- tion of the Balkan Emtente, with the sigle difference- that ne Jugo- slavia, but Turkey, with its pact with Britain and France, is the gravedigger of the Balkan En- tente,. Jugoslavia is now in a very Pre carious situation, for it is threat- ened with involvement in the im- perialist war despite all the de- clarations of the government that Jugoslavia will qmaaintain a strict neutrality. STRUGGLE WAGING. There are sufficient grounds for such fears. Geographically Jugo- slavia is almost encircled by two great powers, Italy and Germany, who are freatly interested in ob- taining the raw Material resources and farm products of Jugoslavia, of which they now suffer a short age. Britain and France will na- fturally try to oppose this by every means. Jugoslavia is the third largest copper producer in Hurope. It ex- ports large quantities of the best bauxite in the world, as well as lead, manganese, zinc and other products. In addition, there are numerous other ore deposits, still but slightly exploited, including de- various types of livestock, particu-~ posits of iron, coal, silver. Jugoslayia is also rich in forests and agricultural products. Tt ex ports about 70,000 to 80,000 car | loads of wheat a year, as well as, larly horses and hogs. Thus there is no cause for wou- der that at the present time, as a- result of the war, a struggle is being waged between the two war ring camps for control over these. resources. He The Soviet German pact, the march of the Red Army into west ern Ukraine and Byelorussia, the struggle to liberate Finland, haye aroused great enthusiasm among the Jugoslavian people. They sense how these actions facilitate the struggle for independence of their country. a Tt is also obvious that the goy— ernment of Jugoslavia cannot sim— ply neglect the attitude of the people in foreign questions and that the official policy of two de cades, followed under the influence of the Russian White Guards and | the monarchist-capitalist circles of Jugoslavia, to isolate the peoples of Jugosiavia from the Soviet Unis will meet greater difficulties. a Hundreds of demonstrators, mos ly students, have been arrested and interned in concentration camps during the past two weeks, as pol ice strive to suppress demonstra- tions against the war and its con: sequences, already severely felt in Jugoslavia. Living costs are soaring, hitting workers and peasants, for the pea- sants received payment for their erops when prices are low, while they must buy their winter sup plies with coffee 20 percent higher, tea up i100 percent and textiles 50 percent.

Qf the 3.800 planes, almost 1,500 second imperialist world war on Sept. 1, and 1,000 of these have been delivered abroad or have been cleared through manufacturers here already.

At the same time, French and British purchasing eommissions are increasing size of their staffs, hav- ing daily talks with Big Business representatives.

NEW BUDGET SHOWS ROOSEVELT RIGHT SWING Will Cut Social, Up Military Expenditures By ADAM LAPIN WASHINGTON, DC — One of the biggest stories of the New Year is contained in a large, ereen-covered book which will be nade public by President Roose- velt shortly after Congress com © venes Jan. 3. The unexciting title of the book is “the budget of the United States sovernment for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1941.” In the pages aud pages of statistical tables im the budget will be found the yeal story, and the conclusive proof, of the sharp swing to the right which has been made by the Roosevelt ad- ministration since the outbreak of the imperialist war_in BHurope. A government budget may not make enthralling: reading—but it is a far more reliable index of the real policies of an administra- tion than all the speeches and press releases in the world. Statements by the President, White House Secretary Steven Barly, congressional leaders, and complaints of department heads oe a oe ee ee SSS whose appropriations are being cut have clearly revealed the out- lines of the new budget in advance of publication. The main point about the new budget is simply this: military appropriations will be vastly in- creased while expenditures for relief and for the social needs of the people will be reduced so drastically that the total in the budget will be considerably less than last year. JOBLESS TO SUPFER. In short, the budget will make it amply plain that the adminis- tration has moved away from the social objectives of the WNew Deal and has now placed its main em- phasis on war preparations. Economy and budget balancing will be the keynote—on every— thing except armaments. WPA will be one of the worst victims of the new economy drive. The unemployed haye already suffered severely. Last year at this time there were about 3,100, 000 WeA workers on the rolls. Today there are a million less. In the new budget it is expected that the trend toward curtailment of WPA will be speeded up- The 2,000,000 average on the rolls of the present year will probably be slashed sharply. Farmers are reported to be among the worst victims of the new administration budget, with scme $200,000,000 to be slashed off the appropriation for the De- partment of Agriculture. The axe of the Budget Bureau is falling not only on jJarge and important agencies and depart- smallest of the New Deal setups. Small agencies like the Wage and Hour Division in the iabor Department and the Anti-Trust Division in the Department of Justice are expected to have the heart cut out of them. Hopeful Republican candidates and some tory Democrats may claim when the budget is an- nounced that they are still not satisfied, and urge still larger cuts in social expenditures. In part their eriticism will be political demagozy- At most they ments, but even on some of the ~ will differ with the administra- tion over the tempo with which euts in the budget should bE made. But a fundamentally different) point of view was expressed by | the CIO in the legislative program which it issued recently. The C10 | pointed out that the people want “to continue and extend the ben efits of the social legislation dur ing the past few years. $ “There can be no retreat now Rather there must be 2 steady forward march to extend the s® cial and economic progress of the nation.” 43!
