DAILY ‘WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1930 PRAVDA ON LENIN IN REVIEW OF LENINIST ADVANCE JF THE USSR Building of Socialism Is “No Longer a Dream Which Only Our Grandchildren Will See” Tn the Time of Socialist Advance the Danger | of Opportunism Must Be Fought Against Today’s leading article in the “Pravda” reads: The sixth annivers- ary of the death of Lenin, the great leader of the international proleta- riat, finds the Soviet Union, the fatherland of the toilers, directly engaged in solving the fundamental problems of the socialist revolution. The building up of socialism in the Soviet Union is no longer a matter of the distant future, no longer a dream which only our grandchildren will live to see accomplished. Al- veady we can see more and more clearly the foundation stones, the fundament of the socialist economic system, The task of our general plan is to build up socialism in our country. Only a little while back the bour- geoisie and its mercenaries laughed work to the highest level. It is, therefore, clear why on the sixth anniversary of the death of Lenin we should stress the great significance of the theory of Lenin- ism for our fight. Leninism is the compass in the hands of the revo- lutionary fighter. On the firm bais of Leninism we must repulse all vacillation and deviation merci- lessly. The petty-bourgeois deviations appeared in the form of Trotzkism in the period of the preparation of the socialist offensive. Today the petty-bourgeois deviations appear particularly in the form of open op- portunism, now that we are advanc- ing against the enemy on the broad front of the socialist offensive. The deserters from the socialist at the five-year plan as a “Bolshe-| front are clinging in deadly fear to vist Utopia,” but already the laugh- | ter has faded from their faces. It} will be the same with our general plan. The sixth ahniversary of Lenin’s death finds our Party and the whole of the working class of the Soviet Union solving the most important tasks and fighting the decisive struggle against capitalism in our country. The “Pravda” then shows the speedy development of socialist in- dustry and deals with its leading and constructive role in the whole national economic system, and con- tinues: The leading role of the working class is being shown more and the hands of the proletarian revo- lutionaries whose hands hold wea- pons which are dealing the enemy hard blows. The fight is on. There will be deviations in the future also. Therefore it is our duty to increase the struggle against opportunism and against all vacillations. The weapon of criticism must be directed still more decisively against right- wing opportunism, On the sixth anniversary of the death of our great leader it must be our aim to mobilize still larger arm- ies of the revolutionary toilers for the building of socialism under the banner of Leninism. The propa- ganda of Leninism must be in- creased a hundredfold, every non- more clearly. The working class is |party working man and woman must being followed by millions and mil- | embrace Leninism. lions of poor and middle-peasants on the path of a radical socialist | farthest corner of the earth. Leninism must be carried into the We transformation of the country. We) must awaken in the workers the have commenced the task of abolish- ing the Kulak as a class. In order to perform the gigantic fundamental tasks of the revolution, the proletarian advance guard, the Communist Party and the whole working class must pull together in real proletarian unity and raise its consciousness of their historical role jas the builders of the new society. We must awaken a burning hatred against the vile past, and develop the greatest possible initiative, ac- tivity and self-criticism on the part of the broadest masses of the peo- ple. French Workers in Militant Action PARIS (Jan. 22, by Inprecorr Mail Service).—8,000 workers of the | Alsthom works in Belfort have gone on strike against wage cuts. There | is also a threat of a strike amongst the textile workers in Nancy. In Boulogne 4,000 organized a Jemonstration of protest against shreatoned wage cuts. They held a meeting in front of the factory of- fices and elected representatives to \negotiate with the employers. The employers declared a 24-hour lock- out. After the meeting the workers marched in procession through the streets of the town despite the pro- hibition of the socialist mayor. Ten Years of Freedom in the Don Basin MOSCOW (By Inprecorr Mail Service).—The press devotes articles 10 the tenth anniversary of the free- ng of the Don Basin from the whites.

The pro- duction of pig-iron will total 4,000 000 this year, and thus exceed the record pre-war figure.

The ourt acquitted Cassiot with the re- | nark that the documents put forward vy the police were no of a secret haracter as alleged and had noth- ng to do with the question of na- ional defense. These two acquittals represent a tinging smack in the face of Chi- ‘ppe’s methods. “L’Humanite” ap- reals to the workers not to imagine hat the danger is past because this ime the police were a little too lumsy. Strike Success in Paris. After a strike lasting eight days BRUSSELS, Belgium (By Inpre- orr Mail Service)—The effect of eformist leadership is still causing he diamond workers great suffer- ag. It will be remembered that the eformist leaders agreed with the mployers to the closing down of he shops in December in order as hey said to maintain the high rate f wages. As a result of the fact hat the men’s leaders agreed to the losing of the shops the authorities efused to grant unemployment pay eclaring that the unemployment ras voluntary. Only unorganized workers and hose organized in the Christian mion, which had refused to agree o the closing down, were granted nemployment support. The em- loyers promised to open the shops a January and work full time, but ery few of them have kept this romise and most of the shops are orking only three days a week.

Demonstrations took place in working hours in the rail- way workshops in Batignolles and Levallois, whilst the demonstrations were repeated in the Garenne work- shops, this time with the support of the electricians who carried out a five-minute protest strike. In the 17th district of Paris 1,200 railwaymen organized a demonstra- tion and marched through the streets ‘singing the “Internationale” after which a protest meeting was held. 12,000 Diamond Cutters Still Jobless son for the diamond workers, and has shaken the confidence in the re- formist leaders.
