The jubilee session of the Central
Executive Committee opened last
night in the Uritzky Palace with an
imaginative speech by Kalinin, presi-
dent of the Soviet Union. He en-
phasized that the session was opened
in Leningrad on the eve of the tenth
anniversary of the workers revolu-

chairman of the Council of Peoples

national and internal situations at
the tenth anniversary. He concluded
by reading the manifesto of the Cen

sions Of the Central Executive Com

life and conditions of the working
class and the peasantry in the U. S.
S. r. during the ten years since the

world was blazing with the flames
of imperialist war. Capitalist rule
had placed all mankind on the verge
of an abyss of Infamous destruction
and the humiliation of cultural
