Thunder greetings from the rev.
dictionary workers and peasants of
Middle Asia to American labor on
the eleventh anniversary of the Boil
chevik Triumph, Nov. T, 1917.
For the Red Heart of the great
est continent on earth, beats hard
and fast in keen anticipation of the
victory of the World Revolution, the
heir of the triumph of proletarian
power in the Soviet Union.
From peasants huts and railroad
shops. from fields of cotton
and textile mills, from or
chards of fruit and printing shops,
from Red Flag-flying ships and
spouting oil wells, from cooperative
stores and Red tea houses, from
workers clubs and public schools,
from clothing factories and univer-
sites, from Red cavalry regiments
and comsomols, from women's clubs
and pioneers, from throngs at rail-
road stations, in the great public
squares and in vast auditoriums, the
greetings everywhere welled up in
mighty volumes, Greetings to the
workers and Farmers Of the United
States of America"
Greetings, also, to the workers
and peasants of Great Britain, Aus
tria, the French Colony of Algiers
and British India, for all these lands
were represented by comrades who
had been delegates to the Sixth
Congress of the Comintern, and
then been joined in a delegation to
visit the Middle Asia Republics of
the Soviet Union.
From Orenburg, cut by the Ural
River that divides Europe from
Asia, to Krasnavodsk, on the eastern
shores of the Caspian Sea, we
passed through the broad reaches of
the great Asian Soviet Republics of
Kazakstan, Uzbekistan and Turk
where every race and ma
tionality breathes full freedom for
the first time in history, where the
crossed Hammer and Sickle is
everywhere the symbol Of liberation,
the Red Flag the banner Of greater
struggles, and THE International

played its Red Flag, with the
Sickle and Hammer Emblem. Yet
this throng included only delega-
tions of workers. Because we are
so busy in shop, mill and factory,
that we did not want to declare

we found everywhere energy, indus
try, intelligence, that drives forward
to its task, quickly and surely.
In Samarkand we spoke from the
Lenin Monument in the public
square of the Old (Native) Town
where age We'd with youth in enthu-
siasm in the tremendous gathering.
A Russian VINO understood English
stood by and translated to any
Uzbek who understood Russian. Thus
the greeting from America wa
quickly translated to this Uzbek
throng in their native tongue. They
gave expression to their Oriental
hospitality by clothing us all in long
flowing colorful robes, the native
costume, with small silk embroid-
cred cap. Samarkand is the cap
ital of the republic, and we were
the guests of the president, for
merly an agricultural worker, who
sits in power here as Kalinin does
in Moscow for the whole Soviet
Union.
Samarkand has felt the crushing
heel of many conquerors since Alex
ander the Great, of Macedonia, first
came this way in the fourth century.
The Arabs and the Seldzhukids each
had their turn. Then the Mongol
terror, Chingiz Khan, conquered it
in the thirteenth century. Later it
became the capital city of Tanner
lane the Magnificent; then it was
taken by the Uzbeks, after which it
fell under the Bukharian dynasty,
until in 1868 it succumbed to the
Russian czars. Z

The wild campaign of the Jugosla-
Wan government against the revolu-
tionary movement is being continued
with all energy. Indiscriminate ar
rests are taking place all over the
country. Many of the persons ar
rested however have already had to
be released owing to complete lack
of any evidence against them. In
Liubliana only 8 persons could be
retained. In Now Sad, the secretary
of the independent labor party and
two other members of the party

Terrorism Against Peasantry.
The whole population of the Mus

column of gendarmes. The district
is known in general to be opposed

captain of gendarmerie Spasoye Ra-

Fifty eight peasants, all of whom
have been beaten up by the gen

redress.

Throughout the strike the spon-

been a source of wonder to adult

which was regarded as the first city
OF Mohammedan Asia. A popular
saying is, GAS Bokhara goes, so
goes the Mohammedan world" The
history of Bokhara goes back CEN
turtles before the Christian era. 1t
was considered the ecclesiastical and
educational center of Islam. 1t has
been attacked and subdued by all
eonquerors of ancient and modern
times. On the night of August 29, ,
1920, however, the Young Bokharan
Party, with the aid of the Bolshe-
riks, seized power, while the Amir,
Sayid Mir Aim Khan, disappeared
and secretly made his way out of
the city disguised as a carter, leav-
ing his rs wives behind. He escaped
TO Afghanistan, where he sent a
plea to the British to come to his
aid. But British imperialism was

banner it conquered. Along its far
flung borders the enemy raised it's
head in Persia, Afghanistan, India

friends, allies, oppressed worker and

reported on the work of the
Sixth Comintern Congress to two
thousand railroad workers at Oren-
burg. The meeting took place i'm
mediately after work in the open
field at the main entrance to the
shops. Speeches over, the meeting
was thrown open for questions and
remarks.
"You see us in our working
clothes today" said one worker.
"Ten years ago we were in rags.
We had to quit work in the shops
and go out and fight the White
Terror. We fought. We were vic
torious. Now we are back in the
shops building. Tell the capitalists
in your country that we do not need
their help, that we can get along
without their loans and credits. We
will build our own socialist economy
without them"
The brick workers in a neighbor-
ing brickyard had come over for the
meeting, and one of their leaders
spoke with equal enthusiasm and
meaning.
"Wake up the working women in
your country" urged a woman
worker, gray-haired, but with the
fire of Clara Zetkin or Rosa Lux
embourg.
The Comsomols pushed one of
their spokesman to the platform to
send greetings to the American
Young Communists. So did the
Lenin Pioneers. Then as night came
on the meeting adjourned with the
singing of "The International" and
the workers marched to their homes
newly erected as part of the city's
building program. They were still
singing.

The May Pole Dance was the gayest
affair yet at Hotel Henlopen, although
we did not have balmy May weather
for the dance-it didn't dampen the
spirit of the crowd. Many came in cos
tune, some costumes were quite origi-
nal, while others were fancy and need
less to say some came in comic cos
tunes. There was a prize given the
couple wearing the best costumes. This
was won by Miss Phyllis Morrison, Will
mington, and Lex Mccoy of Rehoboth.
Then they had May Pole dance which
was quite novel among the young folks
and all seemed to find great fun dane
ing around the May Pole. There was
also an exhibition dance of the old
fashion waltz and prize was given
the best waltzing coupe. Miss Sara
Wingate and George Burke, both Of Re-
hobOth, won this prize.
