dns rirtagiarte on = MOSCOW, May i2—(By Mail) :— OMRADE L STALIN, sécretaty of the Russiasi Communist Party, delivered the following report oi the results of the fourteenth party ton- ferente of the Russian Comiihnist Party to the active party workers of the Moscow organization! The new element im the present in- ternational situation is the temporary stabilization of capitalism and the simultaneous growth of the economic and political power of the Soviet Union. Lenin’s analysis of the new epoch of revolution is still fully applicable. The speaker cites examples from the development of the Russian revolu- tion, and shows that the revolution does not develop according to a simple rising curve, but thru an intermittant rise and fall, This is the historical significance of the present period. ‘The present liquidators are committing the same mistake as the liquidators of old, when they think that the present sta- bilization means the end of the world revolution, CERTAIN stabilization exists: the temporary stabilization of capital- ism and the stabilization of the Soviet system. Stabilisation under capitalism leads to sharper conflicts and creates the ‘basic conditions for the over- throw of capitalism, whereas the sta- bilf¥ation of the Soviet system leads to improved conditions for the final victory of the proletariat. This is the difference between the two kinds of stabilization. HE stabilization of capitalism as- sumes the following concrete forms: 1i—The pact between America, Eng- land and France for the plundering of Germany thru Dawesation. Such an agreement cannot be lasting, for it re- quires the double enslavement of the German proletariat—by the native and by the foreign bourgeoisie. Even the reactionary factor of Hindenburg’s ~etection shows™ thatthe temporary alliance against Germany cannot last long. %—British; American and Japanese capital have succeeded in effecting a temporary agreement in regard to their respective spheres of influence fn China. But this agreement also eannot be iasting, because of the im- perialist conflicts and the growth of the revolutionary movement in China. 3—The stabilization of capitalism also assumes the form of an agreed non-interference of the imperialist countries in the exploitation of tho colonies} it is obvious that due to the imperialist conflicts and the growing revolutionization of the colonies, this agreement cannot be lasting. 4—The stabilization of capitalism may also assume the form of attempts at a united front against the Soviet Union. Such a united front cannot be durable, because the very threat of it will consolidate the whole country more than ever before about the So- viets, and transform it into an un- conquerable fortress; for, an attack on Soviet Russia would unchain a re- volutionary moyement in the rear of the enemy, and because Soviet Russia is no longer isolated, but possesses allies in the western proletariat and in the oppressed peoples of the East. A war against the Soviet Union would mean a war of the imperialists against their own workers and against the co- lonies. task of the Communist Parties in the capitalist countries is, to utiliza the period of depressfon for the consolidation of the Communist Parties, for their bolshevization, and their transformation into real mass parties. One of the fundamental tasks of the Western Communist Parties is to link up with the trade unions. The pillars of the social-democratic power in the West are the unions, whereas the weakness of the Western Com- munist Parties in the circumstance that their own elements refuse to link up with the trade unions. Hence the campaign for the unity of the trade union movement must be carried out consistently. The new element in. the colonial countries consists in the disturbance MAY DAY IN RUSSIA By ERIC VERNEY. HIS year the May Day celebration in Soviet Russia exceeded all re- cords not enly in numbers but also in the enthusiasm of the werkers and the splendor of the decorations. The spring sushine also added lustre to the red brilliancy. Early in the morning crowds began assembling in the outlying districts of Moscow to march to the Red Square with bands playing and with the‘: red banners flying in the breeze. The joy with which the Russian workers sung their revolutionary songs this May Day was not only an expression of their improved material conditions and physical well-being but made one feel that they were really singing of their freedom and were conscious of their great moral conquest. But the Russian workers have not forgotten their struggling brothers of the West. Among the hundreds of slogans adorning the red banners the most conspicious were “Down with the white terror of the bourgesisie” and “Long Live the International Trade Union Unity.” N Red Russia it is not only the workers and peasants who take part in the celebrations, but also the Red Army mon, for the Red Army itself is composed of workers and peasants. Before the huge processions of workers began marching thru the Red Square, there was a great parade of the Moscow garrison. There were in- detachments of Budienny’s are ready to defend the Soviet Re- public from capitalist attacks at the first call, And the diplomatic repres- entatives present seemed duly im- pressed. Then came the workers, marching by in two endless parallel processions, waving a flaming sea of red banners. From early morning until dusk they marched, surging in past Lenin’s mausoleum, 1,000,000 of Russia’s best workers. One of the brightest features of this year was the large number of chil- dren’s Communist groups (Young Pioneers) taking part in the proces- sions. They marched in orderly ranks, picturesque with their red neckker- chiefs. There were also thousands of red physical culture groups, wonder- ful examples of how the Soviet gov- ernment is caring for the physique of the younger generation. were many placards tind burg, banging from lamp-posts. There was one tableu representing Herriot of the oid social and political condi: tions, the growth of the proletarian forces and of the revilutfonary jabar movement, and in the will to compro: mise on thé part of the national bour- geoisie. ‘The liberation of these coun: tries from the clutches of imperialism can therefore be effected only thru the struggle against the national bour- geolsia question of an alliance of work- ers’ and peasants, and the question of the hegemony of the proletariat, are becoming as important in indus- trially developed countries today, as they where in Russia before 1906. As to the question of the fate of socialism in the Soviet Union, 1. e., whether socialism can be established in one country, Leninism answers in the affirmative. Besides the difference between the proletariat and the peas- antry, there are common interests be- tween them in important questions, |’ which furnish the basis for an alliance of ‘workers and peasants. The develop- ment of agriculture may proceed in two ways: the capitalist way of im- poverishing the majority of peasants for the benefit of a handful of land and city capitalists; or the socialist way of improving the condition of the majority of peasants. The peasantry is interested in the latter method of development. Citing Lenin, the speak- er criticises Trotzky’s view of the in- surmountability of the differences be- tween the workers and peasants. He then shows the possibility of develop- ing socialism in one country,—other- wise the October revolution was su- perfluous. E are other conflicts, namely those between the Soviet Union and the capitalist countries. As long as Russia is surrounded by capitalist countries, there is the danger of a restoration. Only the common efforts of the workers of the different coun- tries, or, still better, the victory of the proletariat in some of the conn- tries, can. furnish a guarantee against a restoration.

Compared with last year, pro- duction in the metal industry has been doubled. This shows that in the in- dustry the basis of socialism is fully growing, and that the proletariat is capable not only of destroying the old, but also of building up the new. West- ern European workers are coming to our country to convince themselves that the proletariat is capable of build- ing up a new society and a new indus- try, and that the world revolution has thereby been advanced. DAY we already possess forces sufficient to build up socialism and to defend our country.
