TYPICAL BOLSHEVIK Comrade Khvesin is a typical Bol- hevik, a member of the party tha guides the proletarian dem the rule of the workers wh termed dictatorship of the proletariat. The Moscow Soviet is composed of 2,600 deputies, representatives of the workers of Moscow In addition, there are 8,000 deputies of the rayon (borough) Soviets. Sixty-five per cent of these deputies are workers from the bench. The deputies are all elected by the workers in the fac- tories as well as by employees of the numerous public institutions. All adult workers have a right to vote, jers and their leaders. And this goes|@nd most of them exercise their right. But there is no electioneering humbug about the workers’ elections in Moscow. The proceedure is simple and direct. The workers of a given factory gather on a certain evening and elec their own representatives, the men and women they know and trust. A list of candidates is offered by the Party Committee of the factory. The Party Committee also consists of workers, the best, most advanced, most self-sacrificing element of the | factory force. The Party Committee has the fullest confidence of the mass of the workers—a confidence born of daily experience, of daily close con- tact between the party and non-party workers. ‘The Party Committee suggests a list of candidates who are most cap- able and who enjoy the fullest con- fidence and respect of the workers. If the workers have any objection | to this or that candidate, they can speak out in open meeting. In some instanees they do speak out, but it seldom happens that, the Party Com- | mittee of a factory wil] nominate a man who is not popular with the workers, ‘The list of candidates Is approved by a show of hands and | the elections are over. But this does not end the participation of the fac- | tory workers in the affairs of the city. It is only the beginning. NO HOT-AIR, PLATFORMS ‘There are no contesting perties in the municipal elections of Moscow. ‘The working class has only one party —the party of the working class, the Nor are there any conflicting “issues.” The elec- tion program is devoid of the “hot air” of election platforms in the United States. The “platform” con- sists of a practical program of muni- cipal improvement and development.

This point has been a center for the | Chinese attack on the Japanese po- sition along the Great Wall. It is) also the center of a rich mining re- | gion, and there are large properties | of the British Kailen Mining Admin- | istration in the vicinity. | The Japanese are continuing to block all traffic on the Chinese East- | ern Railway connecting Vladivostok | with central Siberia.

If the wor! have no reason on earth to reject the program offered by their party, ihey frequently have good reason to amplify the program, to offer additional suggestions of further local improvements. Such additions to the main program’ are quite usual. The additions are of- fered by the workers themselves at | the open meeting. They are discussed and voted upon. Sometimes heated debates arise in connection with this or that suggestion. The vote of the majority then decides. The local additions to the program are care- fully studied and the practicable sug- gestions are included in the coordi- nated municipal plan. NO PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS Ui deputies of the Moscow Soviet and of the rayon Soviets are not professional politicians. They do not make a living out of politics, but con- tinue working in the factories. They enjoy both an official standing and the respect of the workers by virtue of their office. But no Soviet deputy can abuse his authority or the con- fidence the workers repose in him. Every deputy must render periodic account to his electors, the fellow- workers of his factory. If they are dissatisfied with his conduct in of- fice, they make no bones about it and tell it to him in no uncertain terms. If they find him unfit to con- tinue in office, they recall him and elect another one in his place. In addition to the thousands of elected deputies participating in the administration of Moscow’s affairs, there are tens of thousands of vol- unteers, the so-called “sectioners,” who form a kind of auxiliary mass A Soviet Workers’ Club 2.500 WORKERS PARADE, MILWAUKEE AGAINST HITLER FASCIST TERROR MILWAUKEE, April 2. — Twenty-five hundred Milwaukee workers paraded in protest yesterday against the Hitler fascist terror. The parade stretched for mere than six blocks to city hall, where a petition was pre- sented to the city council and the socialist mayor, Hoan. A demonstration was held in front of the city hall, which was addressed by speakers from various labor or-é@—————— ganizations. The demonstration against the fas- cist outrages was called by a united front of over 20 organizations. Many German and Socialist workers par- ticipated.

As we sat in Comrade Khyesin’s office and listened to his clear, com- petent exposition, we could not help recalling the vicious nonsense spread by the capitalist hirelings | about the “one-man rule” in Rus- | sia. If this were really the case, if the Soviet Union were really gov- | erned by one man, if the will of | the toiling masses were really vio- lated in the interests of a ruling minority, the capitalists wov?d find | no fault with such a regime, just as they find no fault with fascism in Italy or with the boss dictator- ship in any capitalist country. It is the rule of the workers, the dic- | tatorship of the proletariat that the bosses object. to, and it is pre- cisely the dictatorship of the pro- letariat, headed by its Bolshevist Party, that made Russia the most progressive country in the world, the inspiration and the hope of toiling humanity. It was two o'clock when the in- terview came to an end. As we passed several offices of the Moscow Soviet on our way out, we saw men and women still at work at their desks. Some of the correspondents were in a hurry to get to the cable | office to send off a story. On the) Way we exchanged impressions. An | Austrian comrade exclaimed: “If | only I could put it all in words!” We all felt the same way: if only we could put into words the full meaning of workers rule in Moscow! If only we could bring to the masses of the exploited and oppressed, to the victims of the capitalist order with its sham “democracy,” the mes- sage of workers’ democracy in the Soviet Union as it marches triumph- antly forward! If only we could communicate the real meaning of the heroism, self-sacrifice and cour- age of the millions of toilers of the Soviet Union as they proceed to build a new world out of the wreckage of the old! “Extend our greetings to the toil- evs of your countrics,” Comzade | Khyesin said at the conclusion of the interview. | We solemnly promised we would May this be in part a fulfillment | of the promise. | TERRE HAUTE, April 2.— The regular meeting of the Unemployed Council sent a resolution of protest to the German Ambassador in Wash- ington against the murderous tactics of the Nazi government in Germany. aN er ® NEW YORK.—Seventy teachers at the Galvani Junior High School (P. 8. 83), Manhattan, adopted a resolution of protest against the Hit- ler terror and calling on other teach- ers and cultural groups to do like- wise.
