various sections of the army as already explained,
are exempt from all social taxes.
Where the income of the soldiers family suffers
from the withdrawal of his contribution to the fam
lily income to the extent that they cannot pay taxes,
the family also is exempted Besides this the fam
lilies of Red Soldiers given first place in the
"otchered" (waiting list lne), when land tim
Der is being divided up among group of peasants.
Ii the soldiers family lacks horse to work his
field with in his Absence the local Soviet is bound
to provide one for the necessary period of time The
soldier coming from working class family also
ceives the privileges of exemption
AS for his family, he is able to rest assured since
according to special law his family will not be
moved out of their living quarters under any cir
cumstances unless given other equally good ones and
the necessary moving facilities provided free Of
charge to them. His family is also freed from pay
ing any communal taxes that may be in existence.
Citizens who the sole support of their de-
pendents are not called to serve under the regular
system at all.
In the Soviet Union elections to the Soviets are
carried out at meetings of all the workers and pea
SAINTS of enterprises in given ward or section of
ward as well as all members of the Red Army whose
barracks situated in this locality.
At these meetings the outgoing Soviet Deputies
report in detail all the activities of the Soviets
for the whole period of office building and develop
ment of new factories, workers living quarters
clubs, street REPAIRS improvement of sanitary con-
dltions, educational institutions the army the in

vice versa, then the whole meeting votes them.
Thus the civilian workers and peasants as well as
the Red Soldiers closely knit together in their
participation in the affairs of the Soviets There is
therefore not the slightest ghost Of chance for
the professional soldier attitude which is prevalent
in capitalist armies to develop in the Red Army.
"Red Army School of Conscious Military Citizens"
1t is well known fact that before the revolution,
Russia was one of the most backward of European
countries. The Soviet Union, consequently inherited
millions upon millions of illiterate adults and chill
dren. The Red Army having as it's aim conscious
and not stupid mechanical discipline which in capt.
talist countries is held firm thru the soldiers fear
of punishment makes one of it's first and foremost
tasks that of teaching the iterate soldiers to read
and write.
In the of complete illiteracy the first three
months entirely devoted to teaching how to read
and write. And commander told me, even the
dulest and most backward peasant becomes enthus-
iastc and dgent in this study when he is reminded
chow proud his folks will be to receive letter writ
ten in his own hand"
One of the Bonds.
This letter writing helps also to maintain the
''smytcqa" (fraternizaton) between the Red Army
and the rest of the toiling population Another
method the Red Army in providing the broadcast
possible education during the soldiers term of
ice under the regular" system is to send soldiers
coming from the villages to cities for training In
variably they sent to city in entirely diff
ferent part of the union that they may learn not
only from books but from personal experience and
observation.
The letters written home form link between the
backward village and the modern city, And when

regular system which means service for period of
from one and a half to two years The technical
troops from to years, the air force years
and the fleet years.
The great majority of the male citizens reaching
the age of 81 are called to service under the ter
rtoral system. This means that instead of serving
two years in the regular army they from one
and half to two months year for five years.
Under this system the place of training is in the
same city and often in the very ward of the soldiers
home. Thus neither the development of industry
or agriculture suffer through a withdrawal of a
great number of able workers and peasants for a
long period of time.
Standard of Living Same as Workers.
Upon entering the army, the Red Soldier receives
all his equipment, food and shelter and in addition
small stipend every month. In connection with this
it is interesting to note how utterly false are the
statements of the capitalist press that the Red Sol
der is kept loyal thru bribing him with a much
higher standard of living than the civilian workers
and peasants enjoy. Having visited many workers
private homes as well as their cooperative restaur-
ants state from personal observation that the
standard of living of the Red Soldier is exactly the
same as that of the average worker. No better and
worse.
Economic Privileges.

ing under the regular system, that is a period of
from one and half to ten years or more in the

written by the peasant himself with all his fresh
enthusiasm and amazement at his new surroundings
one easily imagine what excitement they create
at home and what stimulus they become to social
development there.
Oh, yes! One must not forget to mention that
postal service is free to all members of the Red
Army.
Red Soldiers who have completed their term OF
service are given the privilege of first choice among
the applicants wishing to enter the Normal Military
School. (Trade unions and the Young Communist
League also send candidates to the Normal
School but they admitted only after the Red
Soldiers wishing to enter have been placed)
The Proportion.
The proportion of soldiers and expenditure per in
habitant of the Soviet government on military de-
Tense is amazingly low compared with that Of
countries bordering the Union Following are some
eloquent figures showing the proportion and expen-
dture of the Soviet Union on defense and that Of

. he Recent Trial of ZOltan SzantO,
Stefan Vagi and GA Others
In Budapest,

IN the early morning the police
cordoned off the court building and
the surrounding streets with strong
forces Of police. Entry into the court
was only possible after strict con-
troll
When the accused appeared in the
corridor escorted by gendarmes with
fixed bayonets, the few workers who
had managed to effect entrance
despite the control, raised a cheer.
This demonstration was repeated in
the court room itself when the chair
man of the court Szemak commenced
to examine comrade Szanto.
At the commencement of the pro-
cess, the leader of the defence, Pro-
fessor DIR. Vambery, stood up and de
clared that the prosecuting authorities
had made it impossible for the de-
fence to carry out its tasks
thoroughly. The noting of the de-
scriptions and details of the accused
lasted from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. 1t
created stir Of interest that amongst
the accused almost all parts of the
country were represented. The &C
cused are mostly industrial workers,
but there are also quite a number of
agricultural workers III their ranks.
At p. m. the examination Of the
chief accused comrade Zoltan Szanto
commenced. Replying to the chair
man of the court Szanto declared that
he only felt himself responsible to-
wards his Party and the Third Inter
national and that he therefore con-
sidered it superfluous to make any
answer to the question of the chair
man as to whether he felt himself
guilty or not guilty. He went on:

Chairman:
"Tell us under whose orders you
came to Hungary?"
Szanto:
sit is high time to kill the fairy
tale about Moscow. The Communist
Party of Hungary is a section of the
Communist International. The strug-
gle for the emancipation of the
worlds workers is carried on by a
joint organ. The general directives
are laid down by world congresses
and determined in practice by the
Executive Committee of the Commu-
mist international. The Communist
Party of Hungary however, has it's
own Central Committee, in Hungary
itself, and within the general bound

RevOlutionists Under Fire

"You mean the illegal Communist
Party?"
Szanto: "The Communist Party
cannot rely upon the mercy and upon
the permission of the ruling class.
Without an illegal party there could
be no serious revolutionary move
ment, but our whole efforts are
directed to creating a legal party in
Hungary through the power of the
masses, by winning the confidence of
the masses and by mass struggles in
Hungary"
The chairman (interrupting)

in Hungary"
SZanto:
Il am only responsible to my
party for my actions. l refuse to
answer all questions referring to my
own work or to the work of my com
rades, as far as the details of that
work are concerned"

THE RED ARMY
By SHIRLEY REEVE.
It's Character and Composition

THE RED ARMY of the Soviet Union is an out

arms to defend ITSELF the kulak erich and labor

Of labor and trader) far they are still in exs-
tence, not permitted to carry arms at any time
let alone enter the army.
They are, however, obliged to pay a proportional
defense tax in peace times and in a time of war
the laws of the Workers Republic call for the con-
scrpton of all nepmen and kuaks for the very nee
essary if comparatively safe tasks of dish washing,
laundry, toilet and stable cleaning and a host of
other services which the Red Soldier will be too busy
fighting the enemy to look after himself. Based on
the fundamental principle for the defense of the
Soviet Union; "A small standing army but every
citizen able defender of the interests of the First
Workers Republic" there exist twosystems of mill
tary training.
One is called the regular" system and the other

find fault in someone, the rest of the
fault-finder's set is always willing to
follow. And the worse they can brand
a person the better they seem to like
it. We all know it is almost lmpOs-

nothing is done to aid them. The So
called "good" people do not forgot
their past. They even pass it on down

might have been the same Stunned

to people if they are good as long as
they have not had any temptation
They have not had chance to go
through the test. Even if they have
been tempted and been the winner
they have nothing to look down on
those others for, because they might
not be of as strong disposition. In
place of meeting and passing them
with a sneer they should try and helI
them to start on the straight path
