The Soviet village meets the
fourteenth anniversary with un-
paralleled success on the front of
socialist construction. The masses
of poor and middle peasant have
definitely taken the socialist path
and no amount of effort of the
class enemy will change their
course. In spite of all the pre-
dictions of the right wing oppor-
tunists that in one way or anoth-
er we shall have to chow before
the kulak," and that the organi-
xation of state and collective
farms will not succeed. the Party
registers victory after victory in
the socialist reorganization of ag-
riculture. The growing number Of
state and collective farms, their
economic consolidation, speaks of
the absolute victory of the general
line Of the Party, and Of the
shattered hopes of our class enc
mics that the socialist offensive
will be broken.
Three years ago, the Party un-
dertook the task of organizing
large scale State grain farms. Now
even the blind can see that the
line then adopted by the Party
was correct. Last spring the
state farms sowed over 8 million
hectares as compared with 8 mil
lion the preceding wear. The State
farms opened the way for modern
technique in Soviet agriculture
and the collective farms follow
their example. The State farms
are for this reason, 10 repeat the
words of Comrade Stains, the
economic backbone of the whole
socialist Transformation of the
countryside. Having solved the
problem of organization of huge
grain farms, the Party is proceed
ing with the development of big
socialist farms for the production
of meat and dairy products crops
With the aid of extensive state
and collective farm development
we shall in the very near future
fully cover the requirements o.
the country in all farm products
All these facts combined indi
cate that from the standpoint o.
class relationship at home, tn,
question of Socialism in the Sovie
Union has been decided for good
And how contemplate do tn
bowls of panic of the opportunist
sound in the light of these facts
How hoplessly discredited are tn
learned wrecker professors, VIII
dreamt of the return of capitalisr
in Russia, with the aid of inter
vention. The Party has pitliless
ly thrown aside all those WI
stood in the way of the victoriou
onslaught and, by the fourteeat
anniversary of the October rsvC
luton, it has brought pbor
achievements in state an1 colle'
live farm development such as "
could not even have dreamed
in the past.
