Lenine ks Be-
for r,.,se enth Com
munist Congress
(By Associated Press)


New York, May 3.-The text of the
speech delivered by Nikolai Lenine,
the Russian Premier, before the
Tenth Congress of the Communist
Party, as printed in the official Boil
shevist newspaper Pravda of March
10 was made public today by A. j.
Sack, director of the Russian Infor-
nation Bureau in the United States,
in this country the Rus
sian democratic anti-Bolshevist forces.
This is the speech which led to reports
that Lenine had repudiated world
revolution and communism for Russia.
Referring to the question Of world
revolution, Lenine said:
"'Aid is coming to Us from the Wes-
tern European countries. It is not
coming as fast as we should like it,
but it is coming nevertheless and gath
ering strength. Of course, the world
revolution has made great step for
ward, in comparison with last year. OF
course, the Communist international
which last year existed merely in the
form of proclamations is now existing
as an Independent party in every
country In Germany, France and
Italy the Communist International has
become not only the center Of the Ia
Dor movement but the focus of atten-
tion for the whole political life Of
those countries This lis our conquest
and no one can deprive us Of it. The
world revolution is growing stronger,
while the economic crisis in Euroe IS
getting worse at the same time.
"But, at any rate, were we to draw
from this the conclusion that help
would come to us from there within a
brief period in the shape Of a solid
proletarian revolution, we would be
simply lunatics We have during these
three wears learned to understand that
the stalking Of the game on the world
rev olution does not imply any figur-
ING on a definite date and that the
pace Of it's development, growing
more and more rapid, may bring us
the revolution in the spring, or may
not Me must, therefore, know how
to adapt our activity to the mutual
class relations existing within our
own and other countries, that we may
be able for long time to retain the
dictat orship Of the proletariat and, at
least gradually, to cure all the ills be-
setting us. Only such view of the
problem will be correct and sober.'
The most urgent roblem now in Rus
sia, according to Lenine, is the rela-
| tions between the working class and
the peasantry. "These relations, -
said Lenine, care not what we had
believed them to be.
These relations represent a perl
Imany times greater than all the perils
threatened by the Denikine, Kolchas
and Yudenitch campaigns put to
gethef.
HThe peasants are not satisfied,

ed out that it would also eventually
affect 100000 steel workers in the

Mr.. Tighe declined to indicate the

"The Amalgamated during the time
of the present agreement has main
tanned most cordial relations with the
steel companies'' Mr.. Tighe said.
"We have an exceptionally smooth
working contract, providing for wage
reductions or increases according to
business conditions as shown by the
| companies books.
'The employers have adhered to
our agreement and we have had lit
tie trouble in making adjustments.
"While our men have taken reduc-
tions in many cases their wage is
still considerably above the pre-war
base.''
| Because of depressed industrial con
ditions, Mr.. Tighe said that the atten
dance at the convention was not ex
pected to be as large as in past years
''Thousands Of our men are out OF
work. he said, Gas many Of the IN
dependent companies have clOseC
down or are working at greatly re
duced capacity.
"Conditions are the worst we have
o4 in Ja
pendent but the plants of the United

Of their capacity.'
The convention, whihh will probab
llv continue for nearly three weeks

new rule is adopted opening the meet
ings to the public. Mr.. Tighe sai'
that he favors "open sessions' AM
such action may be taken.
