IContinued from last week.

a. Socialist elements in the So
Wet Union, which hitherto have
been based almost exclusively on
socialist industry, are now begin
ming to base themselves also on
the rapidly developing socialist
sector in agriculture Carge-scale
production in the shape of collec-
tive and state farms). This opens
up the possibility of overcoming
the greatest difficulty of the pro-
letarian revolution, which lies in
the fact that a proletarian power
"does not receive" socialist rela-
tionships "ready made" elf we
exclude the most highly developed
forms of capitalism, which in real
ity have embraced only few high
spots in industry and have yet
hardly touched agriculture" lien
in, Collected Works, Vol XXI,
Second Russian Edition, p. 316.)
S. AS a result of all these facts,
the question of the support of the
Soviet power in the village as
sumes a new form. Henceforth in
the chief grain-growing districts
of the Soviet Union the village
will divide into two main sections:
thu collective farm members, who
constitute a real and firm support
Of the Soviet power; and the poor
and middle peasants who are not
members of collective farms and
who do not vet wish to join them,
but who wilt in a comparatively
short period of time undoubtedly
be convinced by the mass expert
ence of the collectives of the ne
9eSSrrV or entering Upon t4its I,zssli
of coliectivizstion.
The Congress considers it neces-
sary to record that the Party has
achieved this change in the devel-
Opment of the agriculture Of the
Soviet Union only as a result of:
a. the rapid tempo of industrial
development, which is the key to
the reconstruction of agriculture
IN collectivist principles;
b. the mass development OF CO.
operation. the organization Of ma
chine and tractor stations, and
the development Of state farms:

development;
d. the extension of the work of
organizing the poor peasants and
agricultural laborers;
e. the smashing of counter rev.
dictionary Trotslxyism and the
Right deviation.
III. Consolidation of the FOunda-
tiOns of the Collective Farm
Movement and the Struggle
Against Errors
The consolidation of the success
es achieved in the sphere of coli
lectivization and its further de-
velOpment on this basis are pos
sible only provided the following
fundamental Marxist-Lennst prin-
ciples of the collective farm move
ment are consistently carried into
practice. Any deviation from
them would constitute a severe
crime against the dictatorship of
the proletariat:
1. Collective farms can be built
up only on the principle of vOlun-
tary entry. Any attempt to apply
force or administrative compulsion
to the poor and middle peasant
masses with the object of bringing
them into the collective farms is
a gross infraction of the Party
line and an abuse of power.
2. At the present stage the
basic form of the collective farm
is the agricultural artel. To de-
mand that the peasant on joining
an artel should Immediately aban-
don all individualist habits anG
interests; should surrender the
possibility of carrying on individu.

should forego any opportunity Of
learning money on the side, is tx
forget the ABC of Marxism anC
Leninism.
8. The form of the collectiv,
farm must be guided by the econ
omic peculiaries of each given dis
trict and each branch Of agricul
ture. In certain grain-consumint
regions, as well as IN the nationa
republics of the East, association
| for the JOINT cultivation Of th'
land may at first assume a wide
spread character, existing side b,
side with the artel and acting a

~ SWEAR 1T BY THE REVOLUTION"

The remarks Of Comrade Erik
Bert at the funeral service of our
cOmrade, Young Pioneer Janis
Salisbury, which tok place in the
Farmer-Labor Temple in Plenty
wood comprised the following:
Comrades:
Our dear Pioneer aJnis Sails
bury is dead. At this funeral ser
vice we take leave of our comrade.
Her death has been terrible
shock to all of US and for those
Of us who knew her intimately it
is still hard to believe that she is
gone. We have met today to
mourn her death. But, comrades,
it is not only to mourn her that
We meet. She would not have
wanted it so and we who remain
to carry on where she left off will
toxic leave of our young Bolshevik
comrade like Bolsheviks. We who
have fought by her side in the
struggle will take leave OF her by
trying to take with US that which
was immortal in her, that which
made her a brave young BoIshe-
vik, that which made. her, despite
her youth leader among US.
I think it would be best to read
to you two little items-first a
story she wrote only a couple. of
days ago for the Pioneer Wall pa
per, and secondly a poem which she
priced highly-the last will of Joe
Hill.
The item from wall paper reads
as follows:
Joe Hill was murdered by the
capitalist state for being a leader
in the struggle to organize the
working class in the struggle with
the exploiters. Janis thought that
of all the poems she had read this
best told Of the self sacrificing
spirit that the leaders of the work
ing class have shown ten thous
ands of times in the struggle. 1t
was this spirit that moved Janis.
1t was this spirit that caused her
death, in part, at least. This Is
the poem that Janis loved.
1t is appropriate that we re-
member this poem as part of Janis
not only because it so well de-
scribeS her own character but be-
cause it is one of the last things
she mention to her father, Roc
ney, while she lay sick in the hos
pital. She said, Daddy, recite
Joe Hills Last VIII to me, l have
two of the lines Rod
ney recited it to her.
Ny will is easy to decide
For there is nothing to divide.
My kin don't need to fuss and moan
MOSS does not cling TO a rolling
stone.
Ny body, ah! if I could choose
l would to ashes it reduce.
Then let the merry breezes blow
Ny dust to where some flowers
grow.
Perhaps some faded flower then
Might come to fife and bloom
again.
This Is my last and final will.
Good luck to all of you, joe Hill.

SEND DELEGATES TO YOUNG
PIONEER CAMP CONFERENCES

To All United Farmers League
locals, Communist Party Units,
and all organizations interested In
the Education Of Workers and
Farmers Children for Their Own
Class Interests:
The conditions of the workers
and farmers are continually get
ting worse. The children especial
ly are the ones to suffer because
of it-they are forced to work,
stay home from schools, cannot
get sufficient or proper food that
a growing person needs or suffi-
Gent clothes. They do not receive
medical and dental care as they
should, ne chance for recreation,
etc. In fact, we can safely say
chat the children are the most ex-
plotted under capitalism.
On top of this, the capitalist
class thru its schools, churches,
movies papers, radios, etc., does
everything in its power to instiil
IN the minds of the working class
children that they are living in a
wonderful country, where everyone
has an equal opportunity to make
a living, to become rich, and rise
from the ranks of poor workers
and farmers to even become a
president, Lindbergh or "the
first lady of the nation" In this
way the<chide the true cause of
poor living conditions of the work
ers and farmers, by making the
children think that perhaps it is
due to their parents poor manage
mert or ignorance on how to ac-
Nquire good living that they are
not getting along we'll, instead Of
letting the children learn that it
rs the existence of the capitalist
government, that rObs them, which
is the cause Of their grievances.
Also they teach patriotism, pre-
pairing the children of the workers
and farmers to become good fight
ers for the interests of the boss
government, thru the same means
as drawing them into such nrga-
nizations as the Boy Scouts, All
Clubs, etc.
Therefore, it is high time that
the class-consciOus workers AMI
farmers were using all their pos
sible energy to organize means
thru which they will counteract
the bosses propaganda and viii
give their children truthful edu-
cation about the world we live in.
and which will make of them real,
good fighters for the interests of
their class, for the adjustment of
capitalism and establishment of al
workers and farmers rule.
This you can do Immediately, |
mobilizing your forces for the pre- ,
parations and support of PIO-
NEER SUMMER CAMPS, which |
will take in workers and farmers
children for several weeks and
will give them class-conscious edu-
cation alongside of other interest
ing activities as sports, arts and
crafts, collective games, and a |
healthful vacation for the child
rem from the every day drudgery
OF life at homes, work, etc.

lirium. She gave US the wSecff-
word BY which we must live, by
which we must conquer the oR-
pressors of the toiIing masses. Al
ter her operation she craved water.
The nurse tried to ease her
thirst by washing out her mouth.
Because of her burning thirst she
swallowed the water with which
the nurse was washing out her
mouth. Her father spoke to her.
He told her that he should not
drink the water. She agreed. He
asked her then If she would drink
the water if the nurse again
washed out her mouth. She said,
mo daddy, I wont, + swear 1t by
the Revolution!" This was her
hottest vow, 'I swear it by the
REVOLUTIONS"
The revolution was the struggle
of her class: the revolution was
the final conflict of her class. This
she lived for and dying she knew
of no other standard by which she
would or could swear. She was a
young BoIshevik. The BolsheviK
was Of her flesh and spirit. Flesh
and spirit she was of the working
class. And so, dying, our young
pioneer Janis said, "I swear by
the REVOLUTION"
She talked of the disarmament
conference which they were having
in her class IN school. She want
ed to take part in that conference
because she was good Pioneer.
She" wanted to show to the other
children in the class that the dis
armament conferences of the inn
periafist powers are a fraud; that
they are held for the purpose of
lulling2 us, the toiling masses, to
sleep while TREY prepare for new
bloody struggles; while they pre-
pare for the attack on our Soviet
fatherland. Our young Pioneel
Janis wanted to tell this TO the
other children In the class so that
they would join in the fight of all
the toiling masses against the i'm
perialist war that has just been
started in Shanghai and in Man
churia.
This war against which Janis
wanted tor organize her fellow
pupils is war that threatens to
bring on all of us many times the
misery that the last war meant
for thsA toiling masses. We must
determine 10 fight this war, We
must rally all Of the toiling mass.

we can best stand true to the

PERIALISM - THE MURDH
GUS EXPLOITER OF THE q
NESE MASSES.

Wise King Prajadhipok.

King Prajadhipok is still monarch
Of all he surveys in Siam. He was ar
rested, dethroned and held captive ct
Bangkok last week, but yesterday he re-
gained his Scepter, full-panoplied
constitutional ruler and apparently still
intrenched in the favor Of his people
BY a proclamation signed by his own
hand, the Kings powers are no longer
absolute. He has legalized all the acts
Of the Peoples party, under whose ban
ner the revolutionists took over the gov
ernment last Friday. Prajadhipok also
accepted the plan for a Siamese consti-
tuition, and then his crown was replaced
upon what is obviously sage head.
These Kaleidoscope events have oc-
CURED with suddenness and effective
ness that almost suggest that they were Of
the Kings own fashioning. Such reve-
lation would be all the less surprising
because Of Prajadhipok's ultra modern
views of government Without waiting
for the imposed restraints of constitu-
ton, he had instituted democratic re-
forms and systems which were consti-
tutional in all but name. Perhaps his
Siamese majesty thought the country
was not cottoning fast enough to his
twentieth century ideas of kingship and
resorted to the ruse of a revolution
against himself to hasten their adoption
At any rate, he has given the world an
unprecedented demonstration of the fac:
that even a royal head can be "off
again" and ION again"
Americans last year came to admire
the mighty little sovereign of Siam.
They will wish him long life and a
prosperous reign in the constitutional
robes he has now donned with such un-
mistakable grace.

Reducing Gas Rates.

The last two reductions in gas rates
have been brought about on the initi-
ative Of the local management with the
proposed scales amended by the Public
Utilities Commission. AS Mr.. Keech
the peoples counsel, points out in his
petition to the commission urging an
other rate reduction, the previous cuts
In rates have been followed by higher
revenues and more business. The pres
ent rate Of return is computed to be
excessive, as the word has been applied
by the commission in connection with
the return enjoyed by the Potomac
Electric Power Co. The time is ripe,
Mr.. Keech argues, for another reduc-
tion in rates and he asks that a hear
ing for that purpose be called.
So involved has the commission be-
come in its legal tangle with the gas
companies over the matter OF owner
ship and outside control that the rate
issue has been somewhat eclipsed. The
reduction made by the management @

In the places where they are now as
sembled are bad. Sickness Is sure TO
develop. The care of those who sue
cumb to disease will be grave prob
lem. Who will face 1t? The District
has no facilities for the care Of such
numbers as are likely to require n1edi-
cal attention and nursing.
An effort is now being made to IN
duce the marchers to return to thAr
homes by means of transportation to
be provided in case they express will
ingness to leave. All such offers are
being rejected This wrong-headed at
titude, due doubtless to unwise leader
ship, is alternating such sympathy as
has been evoked for them largely
through their orderly behavior up to
this time, and their undeniable need
Of Succor. Many of them are now
going about the city and the neighbor-
ing areas asking for aid which cannot
be given without depriving those Of
this region of the aims necessary for
subsistence, who are in quite as urgent
need as they.
The hope is that when Congress ad-
journs and all chance of legislation for
their relief is ended, the army" will
evacuate Washington. This will GER
tainly occur If reason prevails among
its members. If it does not the Federal
Government will be faced with difi-
cult situation which may call for dras-
tic action.
