The memory of Karl LiebBnecht

silence came the voice of one of
the soldiers low voice-a dis

This month, workers in all the
countries of the world will gather
In huge mass meetings and demon
strations, to pay respect to their
great leader-LENIN. In all the
cities of the United States, thous-
ands of workers and farmers chill
dren will attend these meetings to
show that they are willing to fol-
low the teachings of this great
leader. 1t was Lenin at the head
of the Bolsheviks, who led the
workers and peasants of Russia
now the Soviet Union-to freedom.
He was not only the leader, but he
was the teacher of the working
class, teaching them how to build
the movement of workers and
farmers.
Lenin was born in the town of
Simbirsk on April 10, 1870. His
ancestors were peasants. He went
to school in that little town and
after being refused admittance be-
cause his brother had been exc
cuted by the car for fighting fol-
the workers, he was finally &C
cepted. But soon the authorities
discovered that he was active
among the students, so they got
rid of him by expelling him. Nov
Comrade Lenin became more &C
tive for the cause of the workeri
whom he loved so well.
The bitter life of the Russian
peasant and worker-so Expresses
and so crushed-made Lenin'
spirit stronger and his hatred to
ward the master class keenel

only 10 per cent serves as pasture
and meadow.
This is the way the land is uti-
lized in the various grain consum-
ing regions. But perhaps the OBJ
jective conditions do not permit
of the development of the various
branches of agriculture here?
Perhaps it is impossible to cult
vate additional land in these dis
tricts? Perhaps the sun shines
too little here? Perhaps there is
lack of water? Perhaps the soil
is poor? Perhaps following of
the land here is based on the law
of progressive agriculture?
Happily for the grain-consum-
ing zone we can reply to all these
questions in the negative. In these
regions the conditions are ex-
} tremely favorable for the cultiva-
ton of many fodder crops. There

Dear Comrades:
We send you greetings from the
children at the school "Pamyati
Dekabristov" memory of the De-
cembrists).
We children of the Soviet
Union study in practical schools;
where we have practical lessons in
wood working and metal working,
and also the following subjects:
mathematics, chemistry, physics,
social science, German, Russian
grammar and literature, natural
science, drawing and painting, mu-
sic and physical culture. Our
school has an uninterrupted week.
That means that we go to school
for four days and are free on the
fifth, but various classes are free
on different days. In addition to
study, we carry on social work in
the school and are members OF
voluntary societies such as LIE
(the International Society for La,
Dor Defense), the MAS militant
Atheist Society,", the CTS (child,
ren's Friend Society, etc.
Free Meals
| The social fascists are spread
ing the lies that we are dying o.
starvation. This is not true, O
course. On the contrary, all Thu
children receive hot meals a
school, and If their parents hav'
low wages, they get them free o
charge. School children are give
boots, clothing and school books.
- In addition to school work, W
work in the Pioneer detachment
There is Pioneer detachment i
every factory and works, and tn
school is attached to a factory
; Our school is attached to tn
"Krassny Obuvnik" (Red Boot fac
tory. We help the factory t
carry out its industrial plan an
to fulfill the Five Year Plan i

to fit up our school workshops an
to get practice at working In tn
factory.

it, his mind and body, every par
ticle of it was given to just one
cause.-the cause of the toiling
masses. And Big Lenin taught
the workers and peasants how to
organize and how to. fight. And
Big Lenin brought freedom and
bread to the oppressed and hung
ry.
And great fight was made for
the children of the Soviet Union.
And the children know the cost of
it. 1t is for that reason that they
pledge themselves to be firm Len
inists and carry on the work of
their teacher-and of their heroic
fathers. 1t is for that reason that
they value that gift more than
their lives.
And more than that. The OPP
pressed and hungry children of the
capitalist countries do not stand
meekly and watch the falling and
torture and the burning of theil
brothers and fathers. They learn
ed a lesson from their comrade
Little Lenin. They pledged them
selves to give their lives for the
cause of the workingclass. And at
Lenin's call to be ready, the voices
of all the workers and farmer:
children from all the five contin
ents, answer ALWAYS READY!
Little Leninists never forget.
Do you know how to play the
Red and White Army game? Thil
is the game that Lenin watched
the little children in the stree
play and then he knew that wher
he was gone, these children would

the Development of State and

pass now to the new tasks set
by agriculture in the so-called
grain-consuming zone, and shall
deal with these in part in connec-
ton with livestock breeding, and
in part independently of it. The
Institute for the Economics and
Organization of Socialist Agricui-
ture (attached to the Commissari-
at of Agricultural has divided the
Soviet Union tentatively into a
number of principal agricultural
zones. The so-called grain-con-
Stunning zone extends over a vast
territory, from the Leningrad ant
Western Regions, via Moscow, tc
the Urals.
What does this grain-consuming
zone represent from the standpoint
of agriculture, and how are its
agricultural possibilities, especial
" in livestock breeding, being uti'
lized? The only answer is to be
found in the following data: Only
"a per cent of the total area i
titled. In the Western Region
only 80 per cent; in the Lenin
grad Region no more than So pc
