World proletariat. There is Kalinen,
Yushlisht and all the other leaders.
Comrade Traskowsky comes in, fol-
lowed by Krupskaya and Gorky. Our
colorful American delegation at
tracted much attention.
The opening of the business of the
conference took place in the Krem-
lin. I was with the hildren most
0 fthe time. It's really hard to de-
scribe everything. Again Traslow-
sky, Bella Kun, Krupskaya, Max
Hoeltz and others greeted the con-
ference of the Young Pioneers. A
presidium, representing all delega-
tions, was elected and the business
of the conference began. This con-
tinued for three days, after which
the International Childrep's Congress
opened with mass carnival at the
Park of Culture. Wit hthe foreign
delegations on the stage, with the
representatives of the Comintern and
other C. C. members the congress
opened. Max Hoeltz got big ova-
ton. After he was through he was
made an honorary member of the
Young Pioneers and presented with
red kerchief by Chinese delega-
ton.
Again and again the Young
Pioneers filled the air with their
revolutionary songs, cheers and mass
reciting. Long, long, late into the
night these songs were heard all
over the streets sung by the Kom-
somels and other young workers.
On the next day tn formal opening
fthe International Children's Con-
gress took place at the big hall in
the Palace of Labor. Krupskaya
greeted the congress. She told Of
the life and work of Lenin. The Lit
tie Pioneers listened with attention.
Harry Eisman was elected an hon
orary member of the Presidium. A
protest resolution against his i'm
prisonment was also adopted.
In the evening all the delegations
went to meet with the Red Army.
Around a band of fires over 1000
delegates watched util three in the
morning listening to the stories of
the Revolution and civil war told by
the commanders and older soldiers.
Games, songs and dancing seemed to
be endless. Nobody wanted to go to
sleep. The Red Army comrades
worked like bees to accommodate
their little comrades. The little dele
gates felt that and showed it by
their happiness. All the time the
delegates are guided by special
squads of nurses, doctors, guards
men.
Everything is provided for them.
The whole government apparatus
and all social institutions are taking
care of them. Not only that, but in
general kids are well taken care of
here-better than anywhere else l
know of.
But the most unforgetable scene
I have ever witnessed in my life was
the closing in Slet in the Stadium
Dynamo, August 25th. Old timers,
/ am told, don't remember anything
like it.
