MOSCOW. June 10 (By Radio -
THE whole U. S. S. r. is following
with strained attention the arrival
of the valiant Chelyuskin expedi-
tion, declares "Pravda," central or
gan Of the Communist Party on the
occasion of the arrival in the Soviet
Union Of the arctic expedition after
its eventful and historic exploits.
Tens of thousands of workers and
collective farmers enthusiastically
greeted Professor Otto Schmidt,
head of the expedition, on his ar
rival in Moscow several days ago.
why do the life stories and the
struggles on the drifting ice of the
Chelyuskin expedition stir everyone
to their depths?" asks "Pravda."
why are the reports of the heroic
deeds Of the Soviet fliers who res
cued them taken so near to the
heart of everyone? The small Chel-
yuSkin detachment, marooned in
the most difficult conditions of the
Arctic, proved that in Soviet citi-
zens, led by Lenin's Party, brought
up by Stain there is the most IN
limited love and loyalty to their
proletarian country. This love of
the workers fatherlsnd, and 10y
atty to the cause of the working
class has inspired them in the
struggle with nature.

Know Why They Struggle
THE Red fliers know what they
are struggling for. Therein lies
their guarantee of victory-heroes
Of the Soviet Union, Slepnev, Lapi-
devski, Doronin. Kamanin, Nfolokov,
Levanevski, Vodopianov - ready at
the first call Of Party and Govern
ment to man our airplanes, at any
moment ready to ascend the air in
defense Of the inviolability of our
boundaries.
THE best traditions of the civil
war, of the struggle against inter-
vention when the armed workers
and peasants defended their right
for new life, will multiply now on
the most advanced technique, on a
new socialist culture.
TT is precisely for these reasons
that the Soviet Union became an
inaccessible fortress capable of
smashing everyone attempting to
violate its boundaries. For the
workers fatherland-this slogan is
tanning the flame of heroism, the
flame of creative initiative in all
fields and in all branches Of the va
riegated life of the U.S.S.R.
For the workers fatherland-
this appeal is arousing tens of mil
lions of toilers in defense of their
great fatherlsnd."
"Pravda" further points out the
decision of the Central Executive
Committee of the U.S.S.R. regard
ing treason against the country.
and says:
THE Soviet country is dear to
the workers and collective farmers.
They have spent much blood and
suffering in the struggle with the
exploiters and interventionists. and
they will not allow anyone to betray
their workers fatherland. or to
trade in its interests" The decision
of the Central Executive Committee
gives the toilers of the great Soviet
Union a new weapon in the strug-
gle Of the enemies of the prole
tartan dictatorship.
