Voroshiloff Addresses Worlds
Workers
In fifteen minute speech before
the taking Of the oath by the Red
Army men, Voroshilov. addressing
himself to all the toilers of the
Soviet Union and the workers of the
capitalist countries of the world,
said:
To-day the class conscious work
ers of the whole world are on the
streets, demonstrating the strength
of their militant class ranks.
To-day they will face the capital
ist rulers who are armed to the
teeth, and some workers may pay
with their lives. But no oppressive
measures can break the will of the
class which must build in the place
of the decaying capitalist system a
new human life on the basis of
scientific Socialism. The proletariat
of the Soviet Union demonstrates
today the new victories of the work
ers, and represents an unbreakable
bulwark for world peace.
Long Live World Proletariat!
LET our workingclass brothers in
the capitalist countries know that
they are not alone at this moment,

Soviet Union, which is showing the
whole world how to build a new
human society and conquer the old
decaying capitalist system"
Voroshilov ended his speech with

very heavy tanks with artillery
mounted on the turrets predominant

Planes Darker Sky

through the Square. Light and
heavy artillery, very heavy artillery,
followed by specialized service,
transport trucks for infantry, search
lights, range finders, and airplane
detectors in great numbers swept
