sons. encouraging them in mathe-
MATES, chemistry and physics to
find a weapon in the struggle for
socialism.
THE construction of socialism
was going so rapidly ahead, achiev-
ing such great victories that some
time the question arose why Stain
and the entire Party was looking
forward so sternly so attentively,
seeking the enemy. But Stain al
ways proved right in demanding
vigilance and watchfulness, always
reminding us that until we con-
struct the complete edifice of So
cialism, until we succeed in making
the entire country well-to-do, the
remnants of the old order still
tester in the hooks and crevices of
the country. forming centers of in
lection. Until the proletariat Of
other countries succeeds in taking
by the throat those who are pre-
pairing war and fascist chains for
the toilers, the danger exists that
the enemy is still alive and that
it is necessary to be on our guard.
The shot at KiroV from behind
lit the signal Of the danger which
Stain has increasingly pointed out.
The death of Kirov shook the feel
ings of millions of people, gave a
strong impetus to their thoughts.
This shot at one of the leaders of
the Party, one of those persons to
whom the revolution had given the
role of helmsman of the ship of
Socialism-this shot said: The class
enemy is playing for big stakes. He
is aiming at the head of the revo-
luton The workers and collective
farmers thought deeply of this when
bidding farewell to the body of
Kirov Their first conclusion was
to rally closer, to rally more strong
ly around the feminist Central
Committee, and around Stain.
During these days there is tax
ing place mass mobilization which
is difficult to create by the agita-
ton of political campaign or by
a simple appeal. Such a mobiliza-
ton is created only by big political
events which shock the hearts and
minds of millions. Indeed, the cor
respondents of the international
bourgeois papers sent information
abroad from the U. S. S. R. that
the murder Of Kirov had not caused
either confusion or panic but had
raised the country high on a wave
of love for the Party and its lead
ers, on a wave of hatred for those
who want to interfere with Social
ist construction.
Enemy Surprised
Everyone who knows the country
everyone who knows the working
class of the Soviet Union, who
knows the Red Army, the new viii
lage, the Soviet intelligentsia, could
not expect anything else. But for
the enemy this reply is unexpected.
For the forces standing behind this
terroristic attack against the Soviet
Union set themselves the primary
aim of creating disorder and con-
fusion, which should make their
work easier.
THE foreign incendiaries, the
handful of representatives of the
fascist counter stretching
their tentacles toward the Soviet
Union, and the counter revolution
airy maggots which are still swarm
ing among the physical and moral
scum Of the old order, still hope
that they will be able to cause, if
not chaos, at least dangerous in
Elimination in the Soviet organism.
Why do they want this? Do they
not understand that their cause is
utterly dead, that the people who
have already built the foundation
Of Socialism will certainly complete
the construction of this edifice?
The enemy will not and cannot ever
recognize this.
The Capitalists
Consider. They were capitalists,
in their hands was the entire wealth
Of an Unreasonable country, tens
of millions of people obeyed them,
their orders could rouse millions of
peasants sons and drive them to
war for aims upon which the aris-
tocracy had decided. The labor of
these millions created a luxurious
life for their lords. Science and art
were for them. And do they not
recognize that all this is now fin
ished forever, recognize that they
