STAKHANOVITES

In this war against Fascist
Germany the Stakhanovite or
leading worker considers himself
a soldier, an acting participant
in the struggle against Nazism,
and he knows that his work con-
stitutes a direct blow against the
enemy.

I remember an incident that
occurred in Yelnya in the first
months of the war. When the
German armoured hordes burst
into the city the enemy ransack-
ed private homes, factories and
repair shops in search of loot.
At one of the factories a German
officer came upon a veteran stok-
er wandering gbout near a ~ Yd
furnace.

Soviet Industry Wins Economic
Victory Over The Fascist Enemy

MOSCOW, USSR—(By Cable direct to P.A.)—In Sovietland labor and defence has
always been indissolubly linked. Since the first days of Soviet power, since the days when
27 years ago the workers of the Krasny Putilovetz plant upon, the appeal of Lenin, who
visited the works, adapted coal cars for armoured trains, and went in them into battle

his revolver and shot the old man
on the spot.

A’ similar fate overtook Makar
Mazai, a famous Stakhanovite
in Mariupol. The Germams kill-
ed tens ‘of thousands of Stak-
hanovites.

FEATS OF LABOR

Conquering all difficulties the
Soviet army of workers set up
industry in the Hast and suc=
ceeded in getting the production
of arms and munitions under
way in the shortest possible
time. The enemy’s superiority
in tanks and aircraft was soon
liquidated. Young and old,
youths and girls, workers and
experts pooled their efforts for
victory, steadily improving the
methods of production, increas-
ing output and’ capacity of indus-

trial enterprises and erecting
new plants and factories.

The feats of labor of the work-
ingclass in the USSR and the
brilliant innovations of Soviet in-
tellectuals in the sphere of tech-

nology, science and culture
brought such fruit.
Stalin has summarized the

achievements of labor in the
economic victory over Germany.
We can cite facts and figures
illustrating this victory.

From 1941 to 1944 the Soviet
Union has increased its output
of aircraft fourfold, tanks over
seven to eight times and is turn-
ing out six times as much artil-
lery. =

The Germans miscalculated.
They overlooked the economic
might of the USSR as well as
its political and military power. -
