Lenin repeatedly emphasized that victory over the enemy in economic construction was more difficult a matter than victory on the battle- field. A leader of the revolution was needed who would leod the working class to this final and deci sive battle. Stalin was Lenin's Closest comrade in arms, his right hand in the preparation of the Ov- tober socialist revolution, in carry ing it out and in the organization of victory over the enemy. Just as loped Marxian theory d it to a new situation, developed the Leninist applying it to our condi- i appli so Stalin theory, tions. “From the height of our achieve- menis today one can see what a colossal task it was. The U.S.8. R. was technically one of the most backward countries. It has now be- come one of the most advanced. Industry in the U. 8. 8S. R. today oceupies first place in Europe, while ~ dn separate branches of industry, such as tractor-building, it holds first place in the world. The U. S. S.

Such is the work of the Party in the course of these eleven years under the lead*: its great guide, Stalin. “The cause of Lenin . hands. The banner of Le: towers high over the woz:ld. A'l the attempts of opportunists to overthrow his banner have been re- pulsed. The enemy is vitally beaten. But they are mistaken who think that the enemy has become more harmless or more tamed.
