PLEAF0R D. c. VOTE
Chamber President Urges
Representation Before .
Georgetown Citizens.

An ardent plea for national repre-
sentation for the citizens of the Dis
trict was voiced before the George
town Citizens Association last night
by Thomas p Littlepage, head of the
Washington Chamber Of Commerce and
guest speaker of the regular meeting at
St. Johns Parish Hall.
Emphasizing the injustice of taxa
tion without representation, Mr.. Little
page pointed out that the District
could, contrary to the belief Of many,
have delegates to Congress without re-
from that body He also asserted that
while the members of Congress who
serve on the District committees un-
doubtedly make conscientious efforts to
govern well, their chief concern neces-
sarily is with their home electorateS
and the interests Of their own districts.
For that reason also, he said, the
District should be represented in the
Capitol by persons familiar with local
affairs and directly responsible to the
citiZenry here.
Points to Tax Burden.
In connection with local tax prob
lens, Mr.. Lttlepage said there is a
general impression over the country
that the Government gives the District
huge sums of money for maintenance
On the contrary, the Government gives
back to the District only small pro-
portion of what it takes here in taxes"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Littlepages
address, B. Agee Bowles, president of
the Georgetown association, asserted
that body has been on record for 25
years approving national representation
for the District.
Three communications received re-
garding relief activity in Washington
were referred to the committee for reso-
lutions to be written and entered on the
records of the association as approved.
One Of the letters, from Newbold Noyes,
chairman of the Community Chest cam
paign, urged the association to send
the District Commissioners a COM
munication requesting them to seek i'm,
mediate action toward relief of the local
unemployed.
Garden Plans Outlined.
A second letter, from Mrs. H. H.
Flather. chairman of the Georgetown
Extension of the Garden Committee of
the District Employment Committee
outlined current plans for establishing
gardens for the unemployed on vacant
tracts in Georgetown. None OF the
vegetables produced will be sold, and
10 per cent will be given to other needy
persons.
communication from the Petworth
Citizens Association suggesting the
utilization of unoccupied lands, both
publicly and privately owned, for gar
dens for the unemployed, also was
presented to the association
All three of these proposals found
unanimously favorable reception from
the association, and the organization
pledged its cooperation toward their
realization.

500 STUDENTS Affected
BY DELAY IN u. S. TESTS

The decision of the State Department
indefinitely postponing the entrance ex-
aminations for the United States For
eign Service, has caused CONSERVATION
among more than 500 students in
Washington who, 1t is estimated, are
affected by the cancellation. Some of
these students. it was learned, are plan
ming to protest to the department, hav-
ing spent considerable time in prepar-
ing for the examinations, which are
usually held in September each year.
Walter A. Foote, assistant chief OF
the division Of current information, said
the delay was decided upon by the
Board Of Foreign Service Personnel
after a close study Of the departments
budget
The School of Foreign Service at
Georgetown University comprises the
largest group in the city affected by the
departments economy plans, although
great many of the students + this
school are studying with view to en-
gaging in commercial and transporta-
ton business. At George Washington
University and American University, be-
sides number of private schools where
students engage in special coaching, are
many others who take the State De-
partment examinations each year.

BOLSHEVTKS-
MODEST, NOT ARROGANT

Our young Party comrades, who
often assume airs Of Importance to-
wards those who are not Party mem
bers, should therefore remember all
5his, and bear in mind that the Boil
sheviks should be distinguished not by
arrogance, but modesty.
Now few words on the women
members of the collective farms. In
the CT electives the women'S question
is a great question, comrades! I
know that many Of you under-esti-
mate women and even ridicule them,
But this is an error, comrades, q seri-
Gus error. Here it is not merely a
question of the fact that women form
one-half OF the population. Here the
main point is that the collective
farming movement has given leading
positions to large number Of cap
able and competent women.
Look at the Congress and its COM
position, and you will see that the
women have long since advanced
from Eastward to progressive women.
In the collectiYeS the women are a
great force. To leave this force I'M
utilized would be to permit crime.
1t is our duty to give the women
every opportunity Of advance in the
coIlectiyes, and to open out POSSIBLE
tiles OF work for this force. It must
be admitted that not long ago there
was a slight misunderstanding be-
tween the Soviet power and the wo-
men collective farmers. This was IN

SOCIALISM
DEMANDS WORK

Socialism does not want Sinking
but honest work on the part of all
human beings not for others, not for
| the rich and the eXploiters, but for
themselves, for the whole community.
And if we work honestly, work for
ourselves, for our collective farms
then we shall attain within two to
three years the goal of raising all COL
lective farm members, both the
former poor peasants and the former
middle peasants, to the level Of pros
porous human beings, possessing a
superiority of products and leading
really cultivated life.
This then is our next task. This
we can accomplish, and this we must
accomplish, cost what it may. pro
longed applause)
And now let me make a few special
remarks, particularly with regard to
our Party comrades in the rural dis
tricts. There are Party comrades
among you, but still more non-Party.
1t is very good thing that there are
more non-Party participants at the
congress than Party members, for it
is Of paramount Importance that
those outside of the Party should be
won over to our side. Some Party
comrades approach the non-Party
collective peasants in a Bolshevik
spirit. But others boast of their
membership of the Party, and refuse
to let non-Party members approach
them This is bad and harmful. The
strength Of the Bolshevih and the
strength Of the Communists lies in
the fact that they have proved cap
abe of rallying around them the mil
lions of the non-Party active workers
We Bolsheviki would not be able to
record our present successes, had we
not been able to win the confidence
of millions Of non-Party workers and
peasants for the Party. For this pur-
pose it is necessary that the Party
comrades do not hold aloof from those
who are non-Party, that the COM

see before you two ways, the capital
list way and the socialist way, the way
forward to socialism and the way back

There are some people who think
that some third way might be found
A great inclination is shown towards
this unknown way by those wayering

WINGED of the correctness of the col

would like us to return to the OLD

but without the capitalist and the

ADMISSION
TO COLLECTIVES

This example shows that the lead
ers, If they really want TO remain
leaders, can and must forget offenses
if the interests Of the cause demand
it. This must apply to the individual
peasant question in general. am
not opposed to careful discrimination
in admission to the collective farms
But I am opposed to shutting the
door of the collective farm to all in
dividual peasants without differenti-
alton This is not our Bolshevist
policy. The collective farmers must
not forget that only recently they
themselves were still individual pea
SAINTS.
In conclusion, a few words on the
letter from the collective peasant
farmers Of Besentschuk. This letter
has been published, and probably you
have all read it. It bears witness to
the fact that among our objective
farm peasants there are large num-
Der of experienced and purposeful or
ganizers and agitators for the col
lectiye farming cause, Of whom we
may well be proud.
The letter contains, however, one
mistaken standpoint, with which we
cannot by any means agree. This lies
in the fact that the comrades from
.Besentschuk regard their work on the
collective farm as very unimportant
and Insignificant, and represent the
work accomplished by speakers and
leaders, who often deliver lengthy
speeches, as a great achievement and
as productive work. Can we declare
ourselves agreed with this? No, COM
rades, by no means. The Besentschuk
comrades make mistake here. Pos
-ibIy they make it out Of modesty,
but it is none the less an error. The
days are past when the leaders were
regarded as the sole creators Of his
.ory, whilst the workers and peasants
were not taken into Amount. The
fate of the peoples and the states are
now decided, not only by their lead
ers, but chiefly, and especially by the
millions Of toilerS, The workers and
peasants who are quietly and unas-
sumingly building up works and fac
tories, coal mines and railways, COL
lecitve ard Soviet farms, feeding and
clothing the whole world--these are
the heroes Of today and the creators
of the new life. Our comrades from
Besentschuk appear to have forgot
ten this, 1t is not good to over-es-
innate ones forscs and to boast of
ones achievements. This leads to
and bragging does no good
to anybody. But it is even worse
when people under estimate their
own forces, and fail to observe that
their modest" and insignificant
work is in reality gigantic and
creative achievement, deciding the
course of history. 1 hope that the
comrades from Bessntschuk will APP
prove of this my small correction of
their letter. Let us conclude with
this, comrades. prolonged applause

OPPORTCN MITES
FOR WOMEN

With regard to the women collec-
tive farmers themselves, they must
keep in mind the Importance Of the
collective farms and their significance
Tor the women; they must remember
that in farming work it is only On
collective farms that women are given
the opportunity Of equality with men.
Without the collective system there
can only be inequality Of rights for
them; but in the collectives they have
equality. Our comrades, the women
collective farmers, must never forget
this, and they must exert their ut
most efforts for the turtherance of
the collective farming system PRO
longed applause.)
Two words on the Communist
youths and girls in the collective
farms, The youth, comrades, is cur
future, our hope. The youth is to
take the place Of us old ones, 1t must
carry our banner to its victorious
goal. Among the peasantry there are
many old people burdened with
load Of cid habits and memories Of
old ways Of life. II is obvious that
they cannot always succeed in keep
ing pace with the Party and the
Soviet power. But with our young
people this is not the cEse. They are

matter of the COW has been settled,
and the misunderstanding has been
cleared up. prolonged applause.) We
have been able to ensure that the
majority Of the collective farmers
have a COW of their own. In the

WHAT HAS BEEN
ATTAINED?

The second question: What have
we already attained on the new path,
on the path of our collective farming
system; and what do we expect to
attain during the next two or three
years?
Socialism is a good thing. A happy
socialist life is doubtless an even bet
ter thing. But all this is a matter
Of the future. The main question at
the present time is not what we are
going to attain in the future. The
main question is what we have al
ready attained.
The peasants have taken the path
to the collective farms. That is very
good. But what have they accom-
plished by this step? What are the
tangible results of our adoption of COL
lectiyization? We have succeeded in
helping millions Of poor peasants to
Join the collective farms. We have
enabled the poor peasants becoming

A NEW PATH
is STRUCK OUT

And suddenly new path is struck
aput in the midst of all this quagmire.
lThe Bolsheyiki storm their way
Ythrough and declare: It is time to
leave the CID path, it is time to live
on new lines, on collective lines; it is
time fer us to begin to live different
" to the human beings in all the
countries Of the bourgeoiSie, to live
in new way, in the form of the
artels (the dominating form of the
collective farm.-Ed0
And what is this new life like? Who
knows anything about it? If it only
does not turn out worse than the old!
In any case the new way is not the
accustomed one; it is not the trcdden
path, and it has not even been fully
explored Would it not be better to
stick to the cid path? Would it not
be better to wait before attempting
the new path of the collective farm?
Shall we risk it?
These are the doubts arising in the
minds of q section of the toiling pea
santry. Must we not dispel these
doubts? Must we not expose these
doubts to the full light Of day and
show what they are really worth? 1t
is obvious that we must do this.
Hence the question just put cannot
be DESIGNATED as superfiuouS.

THE OLD
VS.. THE NEW

What is the difference between the
old order and the new collective farm
ing order?
Under the old order the peasants
worked each for himself. They work
ed as their grandfathers had worked,
with old-fashioned implements; they
worked for the large landowners and
capitalists, for the kulaks and specu-
lators; they worked in state of
semi starvation, whilst Others en-
~,,aled themselves.
Under the new collective farming
system the peasants work together in
arteIs; they work with the aid of new
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and agricultural
machinery; they work for themselves
and their collective farms; they live
without capitalists and landlords,
without kulaks and spectators; they
work for the daily improvement of
their material and cultural position.
In the old order the bourgeoisie
ruled, and it aided the rich peasants
against the telling peasantry. Under
the new collective farming system the
workers and peasants rule, and these
support the workers and pea~ants
against any member of the kulak
class. The old order leads to CAN'T
alisrn, the new order to socialism. You

BEGAN WITH
OCTOBER REVOLUTION

The transition to the new way, the
Yay of the collective farm, began with
| he October Revolution. The transi-
|on did not develop fully until three
lars ago, for it was at this time that
he results of the october Revolution
,egan to evince their full effects. and
