stance, the difference between the sol
diers of the red army and the soldiers
Of the German reichswehr, which lat
ter are merely simple hirelings be-
sides being deprived of all their ele-
mentary political rights, was astonish-
ing to them.
Wherever they went, remarked the
delegates in their reports, they re-
ceived the heartiest welcome Of the
workers. They encountered no opposi-
ton in their selection of the tour.
Their every wish received lively
response. Very often they went with
out an Interpreter because some Of the
delegates knew the Russian language.
and in the Volga German republic
they were entirely in the midst of
their own. In all the cadres Of the
population, we read further in the re-
port, we notice loyalty to the Soviet
republic and its government.
The delegation is convinced that the
U. S. S. r. is on the right road and
that no one is in power to stop the
victorious march of its peoples to the
cultural and material ascent.
OF course, the delegation saw much
deficiency and disorganization, but
this was the sad inheritance from the
czarist and bourgeois epoch which left
10 the workers and farmers govern
ment innumerable ruins. Among these
ruins here and there are still crawling
those who are not satisfied with the
new order Of things, who have not un-
derstood the great idea embodied in
it. But these elements compose very
insignificant minority.
The members Of the delegation were
very much interested in the condition
of the jails in the U. S. S. r. and the
condition of the political prisoners.
The delegation visited many jails in
the various localities in the u. S. S.
R., and a group which was in the eau
casus especially undertook to get ac-
quainted with the conditions in
Georgia and the prisoners there, about
whose condition the social-democratic
press had recited so many different
horrors. And in this connection the
delegates were pleasantly disappoint-
ed. They were convinced that the
basic principle of the prison system
In the U. S. S. r. consists not in pun
ishing the imprisoned, but in educat-
ing them and making out of them USE
full citizens of the Soviet republics.
From the entirely candid discus
sions with the participants of the
Georgian uprising, the delegates learn
ed that the uprising itself was only
a stillborn fancy and its participants
only await their freedom so that they
can enter the ranks of the workers Of
their country on the Soviet basis.
According to the deep conviction of
the delegation, Soviet Russia which
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-02

has shaken on its landlords and cap
italists, is by its examples showing
other countries the way to their
emancipation. The first condition of
success in this direction Is the unity
Of the world trade union movement.
The delegates put as one its problems
to work in this direction.
By way Of anirming the fact that
the present report is the collective
opinion and impressions OF the dele
cation as a whole. each Of its mem
bers in conclusion also individually
subscribed to its correctness by a
brief resume. AIS 44Ms
The authors of the report formulate
at its conclusion a number of ques-
tions which they call to the attention
of the reader. These five questions
are:
I. What is your general opinion
Of the report7
2. What is in il that is not clear
to your
8. Which questions are not suf-
fieiently clarified in its
4. What can you offer for the
creation of the united trade union
front?
5. What would you like to know
about Russian
In a foreword to the report, Edo
Fimmen among other things says to
the delegation:
During the last years have read
much about the workers and peas
ants republic, and saw a number of
courageous and honest attempts to
break down the wall Of lies and SLAM
der encircling Russia and to bring
closer together the struggling work
ing class of the u. S. s. r. and the
struggling and suffering proletariat
of the rest Of the world.
Among this literature there were
books written better and in more
scholarly fashion than yours. But l
have never yet read anything with
greater joy than your story about U.
S. S. r. in the present report. The
reason for this is because you are
ordinary workers from shops and
mines. who artlessly and without col
oring, in your own way, tell the read
ers what you saw there. Among those
who visited Russia previous to you
there were men and women with bet
ter education, more learned and
cleverer than you, but among them
undoubtedly there was no one who
could better understand and learn the
life Of the Russian workers and could
compare their lot with that OF your
own and form an unbiased opinion.
And therefore your book, regardless
of its simplicity, is one of the best
books on the new Russia which have
thus far appeared"

German Workers Visit the Soviet Union

TWO and a half months have passed
= since the German workers dele
cation returned to Germany from the
Soviet Union, Everybody remembers
what great difficulties they met. But
all these hindrances, which were
placed in the way Of the ffty-eight
German workers by the German gov
eminent forces and last but not least,
by the social-democratic and trade
union bureaucracy, did not prevent
them from leaving Stettin on July IL,
headed for Leningrad.
After six weeks the trade union del
egates returned to Germany and en-
countered new difficulties. The same
social-democratic and trade union bu-
reaucracy, and in some places the pol
ice, attempted to prevent the dele
gates from fulfilling the promise they
had given to the German workers to
give a true and unexaggerated report
Of what they had seen in Soviet Rus
STA.
But these hindrances also were over
come and the f1fty-eight delegates,
composed of twenty-nine social-demO-
Gratis. seventeen Communists and
twelve non-partisan workers, ad-
dressed approximately 1000 meetings
in giving their report. These meet
ings included a large number of in
dustrial workers, white-collar workers
and petty-bourgeois. At the same
time the delegation committee printed
a report of their trip, called: what
So German Workers Saw in Russia"
1t is about 100 pages, has many illus
trations, and carries an introduction
by Edo Fimmen.
In the face of great difficulties and
Disappointment following the German
revolution Of 1919, the German work
ers have long been asking themselves
about the revolution in Soviet Russia
and have been interested in working
class life there. Was Soviet Russia a
country in which the principles of
Marx and Engels were really being
applied? Does the eight-hour Gay ex-
list in the Soviet Union? Has the fac
tory committee really decisive in
fiuence on production? How is the
development OF the lire of the Russian
worker progressing? Who leads the
workers movement in the soviet
Union? Are the workers Of the So
Wet Union free, or are they still under
a yoke?

Kautsky Lies Fade.

The delegation wanted to investi-
gate the reports that had been pub
Hshed in the Vorwaerts central organ
OF the social-democratic party. The
followers OF Kautsky have kept on as
sorting that in the Soviet Union the
factory committee does not exist, that
there are no really influential trade
unions. The report says that the So
Wet factory committees and trade
unions have more influence than those
IN Germany; that without their agree
ment It is impossible to pass any So
cial law; that they have an influence
on all questions Of economic matters
and state construction.
The delegation was especially In
terested IN investigating the cultural
tasks Of the factory committees and in
general the cultural institutions exist
ing in every factory in the Soviet
Union. CAS- opposed to Germany"
says the report, Soviet Russia goes
on this principle: that the more edu-
Gated the worker and the peasant be-
come, the more consolidated the state
power. In Germany the official slo-
gan is. on the contrary, as follows:
the less educated and the less COM
pleteIy class-conscious the worker is,
the stronger is the power of capital
