CLENCHED FISTS ANSWER BALDWIN
IN SOVIET union


tight when we reached this part Of
the city. Microphones and amplifiers
were carrying the stirring speeches
of the trade union leaders to all
parts Of the Square.
"Down with Chamberlain! Long
Live the Working Class of Great
Britain!' was the finish Of one Of
the speeches, and the great throng
would thunder its approval.
Mighty Voice of Labor Heard.
We proceeded with difficulty down
toward the Toverskaya, then joined
the march up toward the Soviet
Square. Great sections Of the dem
onstration were made up of Red
Army soldiers without arms of any
kind. They were marching with the
workers. We marched, too.
AS we came abreast Of the First
House Of the Moscow Soviets, l no.

gone with me for the May Day dem
onstration at Ozery on the balcony

joined them. No speeches here. But
the Soviet administrators would shout
slogans and the passing throng would
reply with their cheers. Long Live
the World Revolutionw went thru the
microphone. A giant "Rah," in re-
turn, rose from the marchers. This
defiant note rolled across the Square
and was echoed back by the huge
building Of the Lenin Institute in the
distance. SO the marching, the cheer
ing continued for hours at this his
toric spot Of the Nov. 7, 1917, revo-
luton.
At the same moment another sec
ton of the demonstration was stream
ing past the Narkomindel (the build
ing Of the Peoples Commissariat of
Foreign Affairs). The marchers
flowed around the statue of Vorovsky,
the Soviet spokesman slain by an as
sassin at Geneva, that resulted in the
breaking off of relations between
Switzerland and the Soviet Union.
At some hour during this afternoon
every section of this demonstration
passed thru the Red Square, before
the Lenin Mausoleum. The procession
found its way down the Mokhovaya to
the Comintern Building, where the
marchers were addressed by the lead
ers Of the Communist international.
Now Bukharin was speaking. He was
followed by others, an endless list Of
speakers, from many lands.
The great throng converged on
Vorovskago (Vorovsky STREET., the
street of the foreign embassies, where
the British Commission here is housed
near the homes of Swedish, Turkish
and Afghanistan legations. The street
Immediately in front of the British
Embassy was shut off, to the march
ers, but the demonstration came so
close that the representatives of Brit
ish imperialism could easily read the
slogans on the multitudes of banners,
they could hear the challenging cheers
and ieers, the songs born of the revo-
lutionaIy storm, pouring from the
threats of these multitudes, until it
seemed as if this tremendous proleta-
rian host had been transformed into
one huge giant ready to do battle with
the hated British oppressor.
Prominent in the demonstration
here in the Vorovskogo, were the Chi
nese students from the Sun Vat Sen
University, who not only keenly felt
that attack. on the Soviet Union, thru
the raids on the Soviet Trade Delega-
ton in London, but also smarted I'M
der the war of British imperialism
against the working masses of their
own country, resulting recently in the
British inspired raid on the Soviet
Embassy in Peking and the lombard
ment of Marking, with the slaughter
of hundreds of it's inhabitants,
So the demonstration continued
thru the afternoon. AS in Moscow, so
