"feudalism had been called into be-

sections Of the population from their
enemies" The bloody reign of feu-
dalisnl over the European masses
could not ask better apologist. He
advances Ivan the Fourth as the
founder Of the Russian state, al
though the beginnings of this state
run back several centuries.
Throughout his article Duranty
shows a complete lack Of under
standing of the state as an instru-
ment Of class rule, and of that maxim
which gives key to all events, "All
history is a history of class strug-
giles" Instead, he trots forth the
ruling class version Of history, "the
great man theory" This is the ba-
sis of his absurd, but vicious attempt
to compare Ivan with Stain.
Up to 1917 the Russian masses
were slaves, but not willing ones. In
this respect they suffered the COM
mon fate of the toiling masses Of the
whole world. This slavedom, in old
Russia, ruled by a landowning class
with a young capitalist one compet-
ing with it for power, certainly had
it's own characteristics. But in fun
damentals the slavery under which
the Russian masses 1abored. was the
same as that which still exists in
other countries.
Thru many decades the Russian
masses struggled to throw off their
oppressors. In this they we're lead
by their Bolshevik (Communist)
Party, which was organized before
the 1905 revolution, and finally lead
them to victory in the revolution of
1917.
Since 1917, the Russian masses

in opposition to the decaying world
Of capitalism.

Year Plan. The workers and poor

the villages and towns, and whose
revolutionary vanguard, organized in
the Communist Party, leads them in
building socialism.
So long as society is divided into
classes, one class or the other must
rule. In the United States, Eng
land, and Western Europe, the cap
italist class rules over the workers
and all toilers. Its governments,
headed by the millionaire Hoover or
the traitor Macdonald, dictate in its
interests. In the Soviet Union, for
the first time in history a new class
has come into power-labor. Rus
sian workers smashed the old gov
eminent and set up their own. which
is a dictatorship of, by, and for the
toilers over their former exploiting
capitalist and landlord classes But,
as Stain tells us, "for the proletarian
revolution, the seizure Of power is
only beginning" The enemy must
be completely destroyed, the alliance

old social order into socialist one

leader. His ability and his devotion
to the workers cause has caused
them to place him at his present

Party. Like every other Party mem

cooperation with his comrades in
carrying out the decisions of the Par

The Soviets Councils, composed
OF workers and peasants, are the
main organs of this dictatorship. In
these the Communist Party plays the
leading role.

is not won by force (the use Of force
is reserved for the enemy, but by
the close linking Of the Party with

the correctness Of the program and

Wherever Party members or units
fail to deserve the confidence and

working masses both Party and non

The Soviet masses are free. They
labor under no dictator - Stain or
anyone else. Ivan the Terrible, with
whom Duranty compares Stain,
was a ruthless tyrant, ruling in the
interests Of the landlord and devel-
oping merchant classes. Many other
czars followed him, gilded symbols
OF the depressing classes tyranny
over the people.
Who Rules The Soviets And How

it's they who do the banging. How
many times I've seen them saying
what's-what to those they've chosen
to some post. In Tiflis, for instance,
we came upon a factory woman, with
her child in her arms, laying low

her child stayed hadn't been as warm
as she though 1t should be! How

manager listened, and explained the
particular difficulties of that day,
when the new steam heating system
was being connected up. Satisfied at
last that her Misha would not be
cold tomorrow, she took her leave.

Central Executive Committee of the

I attended, we saw the same thing

Duranty as "a veteran observer In

even greater use Of his writing, as

MOSCOW. Jan. 10 Thy maiD-In
the New York Times Supplement for
December 20, which has just reached
here, Walter Duranty its Moscow
correspondent, writes a much-feat-
ured article entitled Stains Russia
is an Echo of Iron VANS" This vici-
Gus attack OH the Soviet masses and
their government furnishes the basis
for an editorial, THE Same Krem-

SIS the crisis Of capitalism grows

BUanty Believes In Purple Cows
Wha5 is Durantys theme? That
the Russia of today is essentially
unchanged from that of $50 years
ago. ANY school child can answer
that That the Russian people have
always been slaves, even willing
slaves Hence the success Of the
present regime.
The one difference the Times cor
respondent sees between the reign
C. Ivan the Terrible and the role Of
Staliu, as. leader of the Communist
Party OF the Soviet Union, is that
the latter heads a benevolent auto
crazy, which rules in the interests
OF the masses, educating them, and
Duranty admits, training them in
SeH-goYernment.
These admissions in themselves
contradict and expose his main con-
tention For autocracy, whatever
garb 1t may wear, never serves but
always exploits the toiling masses.
History, shows no exception to this
rule. Being based on force and ig-
norance, it would never dare to in
woke a genuine policy of political
enlightment, for thereby it would
seal its doom.
What type Of "tyrants" are these,

fall? Like the purple COW. this type
OF tyranb doesn't exist. Yet such lies
against the first Workers Republic
serve to confuse many American
workers about the nature Of the Sow

the Chinese SoHetS the honor of
being the only true democracies in
the world today, based on the widest
participation Of the toiling masses
of city and countryside.
How The Master Class Distorts

When Duranty states that the
Russian people have always been
willing slaves, he is exposing either
his total ignorance Of Russian his
tory, or his reliance on the ignorance
of his American readers. For even
the slightest acquaintance with this
country's past reveals innumerable
