USSR Exus in Pledges of Unity With Congress OF Victories

against the class enemies, "but in
his own way" was met with loud
laughter from all parts of the hall,
and Shvernik walked to the tribune
to reply for the Congress.
Answering Preobraj enski's speech,
Shvernik declared, "You could not
have fought against the class enemy,
because you yourself were its repre-
sentative and defender" At this, ex-
carnations from the delegates of
"quite rightp were heard turnout
the hall. ''The greatest merit in
breaking up the Right and Left
opportunists belongs above all to
Stalin," Shvernik declared.
Another delegate, Kabakov, from
the Urals, also began his speech by
referring to Preobrajenski's remarks.
His speech" he said, els the speech
of a SpinelsS, rotten intellectual" He
then proceeded to inform the Con-
gress of the recent changes in the
Urals, which most clearly embodied
the general line of the Party, and are
visible in whole groups of new in
dustrial centers, such as, the plants
of Sverdlovsk, Perm, Cheiabinsk.
Tagil, Magnitogorsk, ETC., etc. During
the last three and half years alone,
he tells the Congress, two hundred
thousand new enterprises have been
built and are now in production, as
well as twenty-th new branches
of industry.
T0msky Speaks
After Kabakov, Tomsky, former
leader of the Right Opposition, took
the speakers stand. His speech was
devoted to an analysis of the line
Of the Right Opposition, and like the
speech of the former Trotgkyist
Preobrajenski, his speech was re-
peatedly interrupted by delegates on
the floor. Tomsky acknowledged to
the Congress that the platform of the
Right Opposition represented an
anti-Leninist, reformist platform, the
fulfilment of which could only have
favored the class enemy, and would
have led to the victory of the class
enemy.
Tomsky declared that the Right
Opposition had adhered formally to
"the confines of Party legality"
However, Immediately after, he stated
that the confines of the Party had
seemed "tight" for the RIGHT OPPOSE
ton and 1t was this that dictated its
attack upon Stain, who perso.Sded
the unity of the Party, AT this point,
MANY dslegates leaped up to demand
that Tomsky tell the Congress about
his connections with the Eismont-
Smirnov group. I'VE are fully res
ponsible for this grouping" Tonlsky
admitted. "And especially my close
ness to Snlirnov enabled this coun-

ter-revolutionary group to hide be-
hind my name" In concluding, Tom
sky assured the Party Congress of
his readiness to fight for the general
line of the Party to the end.
Answer Opposition Leaders
Kirov, the last speaker to discuss
Stains report for the Central Com
mittee, was exceptionally clear and
eloquent. He is considered a tested
leader among the Leningrad Boil
Sheviks and one of the best orators
of the Party. His speech was con-
stantly interrupted by applause in
the Congress. He spoke about the
greatness of the Party's gigantic VIC
tories under the leadership of the
feminist Central Committee, headed
by Stain. "In the light of these re-
suits" Kirov declared, "the former
leaders of all the opposition groups
speaking here, look pitiful indeed. I
understand that their position is not
easy. Naturally, it is very difficult
for them to speak before a Congress
of victors.
"But how do matters stand here?
Our Party leads the working class
in decisive struggle And our military
comrades know that when battle

faults. But as a result of this battle,
we have won new heights, and all
the faults during the battle appeared
insignificant in COMPARISON with our
achievements. Doubters often ap-
peared during the battle. Some even
deserted the battlefield altogether,
while others went to hide among the
supply troops, bringing up the rear.

gress guarantees this"
Immense Celebration
A roar of exaltation from hum
dreds of thousands of threats browns
the last words of Kirov's speech as
the meeting ends. Then the demon
stration begins, with immense waves
of humanity pouring endlessly
through the Square, with hundreds
of bands playing revolutionary songs
as the assembled thousands send the
strains of the revolutionary songs
to the sky. Dusk falls and the Red
Square becomes fairy vision Of
huge blood red banners waving in
the blindingly brilliant lights which
flood the sky with flaming letters
forming greetings to the Congress
and spelling out the words "17th
Party Congress-"
Detachments Of the Red Army
march splendidly by, some on horse
back, mingling with the celebrating
masses, and greeted by resounding
cries of welcome and enthusiasm
from the workers., Long live our
Red Army, invincible defender of the
Soviet Union!"
Opposition Leaders Speak
At today's session of the Seven
teenth Party Congress, discussing
the report of Stain for the Central
Committee, Preobrajenski and Tom
sky spoke. Estimating Trotskyism as
the despicable counter-revolutionary
group, which fought and still fights
for the restoration of capitalism, a
former leading Trotzyist, Preobra-
jenski, told the comrades about his
active struggle against the Party
for several years. Several times
Preobrajenski, referring to the vari-
Gus stages of his struggle against
the Party, in the ranks of the Trot-
skyists, repeated, 81 am ashamed to
recall those days. -"
Concluding his speech, Preobra-
jenski declared that he was deeply
conscious of his guilt before the
Party, and that although he did not
consider it a great merit on his part
to arrive at this conclusion so late,
he is now prepared to give all his
efforts for the solution of the gigan-
tic tasks placed by the Party to-
wards building a classics society
His speech was constantly inter
rupted by interjections from the
delegates, demonstrating how cauti-
ously the Congress takes the state
ments of the members Of the former
Trotskyist group, P eobrajenski's
statement, that he had fought

AT the conclusion of Kirov's

immense ovation. The chairman
then states that the Congress dis

to an end and that Stain now has
the floor for his concluding speech.
