in the heart and stronghold OF the
proletarian world-revolution.
Let US turn for a while our minds
to the East, to the place of courage
GUS struggles and glorious conquests,
to the spiritual center and fountain
head of revolutionary inspiration for
the class-conscious workers the world
over. Let's have a glance at the adj
mirable workings of that powerful
machine of working class energy and
purposeful devotion which is known
as the Russian Communist Party.
This is the 18th National Congress
of the Party. but the first one to be
held without Lenin. He will be no
longer there to inspire, to direct and
to instruct The brave and proven
leaders Of the Russian Revolution, the
men and women who set an example
for the struggling proletariat in every
country in the world,-this splendid
body Of working-class workers will
for the first time in their glorious
history assemble to transact the busi-
ness of their party without the all

Nicolas Lenin.
But the business of the Russian
Revolution will be carried on. The
delegates to the 18th National Con-
gress Of the Russian Communist Party
will continue the work started under
the great leader with even more de-
termination, loyalty and devotion.
Their responsibilities as leaders Of the
working class will be felt by every one
of them even more keenly than at
the time when the immortal Lenin
was still in their midst Under the
heavier strain of those new respon-
sibilities, every member of the Rus
sian Communist Party has grown big
ger, wiser and stronger. The work
ing class of Russia, and the revolution
airy workers the world over, may rest
assured, therefore, that the business
of the Russian Party is in the right
hands, and that in the future just as
in the past our Russian comrades will
continue to- be the guiding spirit and
driving force of the revolutionary
movement all over the world.
Problems before the Russian Congress
Various problems are confronting at
present the Russian party. Problems,
economic, political, cultural, problems
of internal party-structure as we'll as
of the economic structure Of the en-
tire Soviet System, questions of in
ternal policies of the Soviet govern
ment,-all these matters will come
before the Congress of the Russian
Communist Party And they will be
taken care of. We are certain, with
only one thing in mind, and that is,
the further development of the pro
letarian world revolution.
The Soviet Government and the
Capitalist World
From public declarations so far made
by the Comrades Zinoviev, Trotzky
and other responsible leaders, it can
be easily seen that no important
changes will be made in the policies
of the Soviet Government towards
the governments of the capitalist
countries.
The fundamentals Of these policies
can be summarized as follows: Rus
STA desires peace. 1t needs it in the
very interests of the ultimate sue
cess of the proletarian revolution in
Russia. But at the same time Russia
cannot forget for single moment
that it is still surrounded by a world
of enemies. These enemies are con
stantly awake, always engaged in in
triguing and plotting against the Sc
curity of the Soviet power.
Poincare is gone, it is true, but
French capitalism is still in the sad
die. The new French government
