But Stalin al- ways proved right in demandin vigilance and watchfulness, alw reminding us that until we con- struct the complete edifice of so- cialism, until we succeed in making the entire country well-to-do, the remnants of the old order still fester in the nooks and crevices of the country, forming centers of in- fection, Until the proletariat of er countries succeds in taking by the throat those who are pre- paring war and fascist chains for the toilers, the danger exists that the enemy is still alive and that it is necessary to be on our guard. | “The shot at Kiroy from behind hiding with hatred in their hearts, with savage malice, do they recog- nize that the ‘lower classes’ proved not only stronger but cleverer than they? No. They cannot recognize this, “Prom abroad the joyful informa- tion reaches them that there are countries where the workers’ lead- ers are publicly executed, where on the headsman’s block there fall the heads of persons akin to those who in the Soviet Union are building Magnitogorsks and converting for- mer estates into collective fa: and state farms. There are countries where they shoot like dogs those same workers who in the Soviet Union not only have taken the | state power in their hands but have lit the signal of the danger which | Stalin has unceasingly pointed out The death of Kirov shook the feel- ings of millions of people, gave a strong impetus to their thoughts. This shot at one of the leaders of the Party, one of those persons to whom the revolution had given the role of helmsman of the ship of Socialism—this shot said: ‘The class enemy is playing for big stakes. He is aiming at the head of the revo- lution.” The workers and collective farmers thought deeply of this when bidding farewell to the body of Kirov. Their first conclusion was to rally closer, to rally more strong- ly around the Leninist Central Committee, and around Stalin. “During these days there is tak- ing place a mass mobilization which is diffieult to create by the agita- tion of a political campaign or by a simple appeal. Such a mobiliza- tion is created only by big political events which shock the hearts and minds of millions. Indeed, the cor- respondents of the international bourgeois papers sent information abroad from the U. S. S. R. that the murder of Kirov had not caused either confusion or panic but had raised the country high on a wave of love for the Party and its lead-| ; 7 4 : | taken by about seventeen years.

But for the enemy this reply is unexpected. For the forces standing behind this terroristic attack against the Soviet Union set themselves the primary aim of creating disorder and con- fusion, which should make their work easier, “The foreign incendiaries, the handful of representatives of the fascist counter-revolution stretching their tentacles toward the Soviet Union, and the counter-revolution- ary maggots which are still swarm- ing among the physical and moral scum of the old order, still hope that they will be able to cause, if not chaos, at least dangerous in- flammation in the Soviet organism. “Why do they want this? Do they not understand that their cause is utterly dead, that the people who have already built the foundation of Socialism will certainly complete the construction of this edifice? The enemy will not and cannot ever recognize this, The Capitalists “Consider. They were capitalists, in their hands was the entire wealth of an immeasurable country, tens of millions of people obeyed them, their orders could rouse millions of peasants’ sons and drive them to war for aims upon which the aris- tocracy had decided. The labor of Uhese millions created a luxyrious also become the masters of their own minds. Fascism Cheers White Guards “The information arrives from abroad that the knights of exploita- tion have tried with an iron hand to hold back the wheel of history, to stamp out the spark of the World October. Any information of fascisi brutality abroad enlivens the hopes of these despicable relics of the Russian counter-revolution. These are the riff-raff, the social scum not representing any mass force, lice bred from filth and dirt, lice which the Soviet Union hag not yet had time to crush. But even a louse can bite. “But besides this riff-raff are those who inspire their hopes. These people do not live in robbers’ dens. In their laboratories they scienti- | fically breed bacilli of disease—the new means of the future world war. For the fascist counter-revolution to admit that the system which created Kirovs has finally conquered means to admit that their entire power, built on the hundreds of mil- lions of trustified capital, is built on sand. To recognize that they can- not any longer destroy the work of the Soviets means for the fascists to recognize they were born too laie. In their hands are billions in money, armies, jails, gallows. Therefore they do not want to recognize their in- evitable doom, therefore they are preparing for battle. And one of the tactics of this battle is the creation of centers of disorder in the Soviet Union, the country of the Socialist order.

For this “impudence” he was ar- rested and is now in the Spring Hill jail, pending trial in the Tallapoosa County Court.

Holidays Hurt Teachers And Students of Night School; 5 Nights Asked “Artificial” holidays for the even- ing schools, which deprive students of much. needed study and which reduce the earnings of teachers, were the subject of a letter to Morris E. Si¢gel, director of evening schools, sent by the Unemployed Teachers’ Association. While day schools were open, Sep- tember 18 and 19 found the evening schools closed. They were closed also on Nov. 5 and Nov. 28, both |methods, with the help of tractors| evenings preceding holidays. The retrenchment policy of the Board of Education has cut the evening schools from five nights to four, but these “unofficial holidays result, practically, in three, and sometimes two evening school ses- sions per week,” says the letter. The Association urges that a de- finite school year be established for evening schools that will include a five-night session. The ménths of November and De- each.
