declaration which contains the following statement
During months stay in the U. S. S. R. we could
for ourselves that here the workers sport move
ment is supported by the Soviet government town
Sovlets and trade unions to far greater than
in any other country Physical culture is rapidly spread
ing among workers and peasants The alone that
in the u S. S. R. there over million people in the
sport movement is sufficient proof that in country at
the head of which is the working class physical Gull
ture receives encouragement than anywhere else
We witnessed everywhere enormous interest in physical
culture.
Getting acquainted with the sport movement here
was not the only object of delegations to the u
s. s. R. They also wanted to establish direct contact
with the Russian factory workers Owing to the cour
tesy of the Russian trade unions we visited number
of enterprises rest homes sanatora and chdrens in
stitutions in Moscow the Ukraine and the Crmea Our
impression is that:
"The working class in the u S. S. R. feels itself free
and lives in much better conditions than the proetarat
of capitalist countries Social cultural conditions
are steadily improving indusralization economic
development progress. However, improvement of the
position of the working class of the IT, S. S. R. greatly
depends support from the proetarat of western
countries Both delegations who had an opportunity to
under what conditions the U. S. S. R. proletarat
lives think that the attitude of section of the Social
Democratic to Russia is harmful the proetariat
as whole. The greater progress the U. S. S. R. makes
IN socialist construction, the greater is the danger of
ure do not declare themselves openly friends of Russia
allies of the bourgeoisie
Long live the first country of proetarian dictator
ship!
Long live unity of the international sport movement"

ton and member of the Esthonan parliament said that

arzed itself with the work of Soviet trade union or
carnations, production and conditions of labor the
prolearat The delegation has become convinced that
the work of Soviet factories and works is well organ
lied Industry in other parts of Europe does not give
the workers employed in them the advantages which
Soviet workers have already received from the budding
socialist development of industry and economy. Up till
the proetarat of west Europe can only dream of
and long for such homes Senatorial creches and
schools already the possession of the Soviet proe
tarat. The truth about the U. S. S. r. becomes
known, the stronger will be the faith of the working
class of the world in the strength and justice of the
coming socialist order.
The delegation hopes that its visit to the u S. S. R.
will bring together the proetariat of both countries.
The Eshonian proetarat which has adhered to the
Amsterdam International will fight theoretically to-
gether with the proletarat of the u S. S. R. for the
Establishment of one united International.
