there under the line of Leninism, as
gteered by Stain. He gives figures
which reveal that basic industrial in

Zinoviev Speaks.
Before the end Of the morning ses-

TrotslSy~ zinoviev opposition rose, and
the whole Congress prepared to listen
to him with the greatest alertness.
Everyone remembered how zinoviev
engaged in anti-Party work with his
friends of his group and of their at
tempts to turn the Party from the
correct feminist path. Zinoviev
declared:

over the advance of collectivisation
due to the resistance of the Kulaks
(the rich peasants, and of the final
smashing Of these elements ending in
victory for the poor and middle peas

Five Year Plan will carry the social
ist advance to immense high levels.
Remove Cultural Backwardness.
Musbakov, (Transcaucasia) indi-
Gated the correct carrying out Of
the feminist policy toward the lesser
nationahties of the Soviet Union. He
pointed out how the correct execu-
ton of this policy has eliminated the
economic inequality between the va
rious nationalities of Transcaucasia,
with Transcaucasia becoming an ad-
vanced Soviet Republic.
1saeyev, delegate from Kazakstan,
told how the cultural backwardness
of this national region is being fast
overcome under the correct applica-
ton of the feminist policy of self
determination, with intense work
toward Socialist construction, under
the leadership Of the Communist
Party. Kazakstan is now rapidly be-
coming industrialized, with its prole-
tartan cadres taking the lead in the
great development Of its national cul-
ture. Isaeyev speaks with unre-
strained fervor Of the historic part
played by the leadership OF Stain in
the application of the feminist policy
toward backward and oppressed ma
tionalities.

Socialist Help
Austrian Fascism Races
to Gain Over Nazi
Variety

VIENNA. Feb. 5.-The Austrian
fascist Heimwehr, supporter of Chan
cellor DollfuSs, who is also supported
by the austrian Socialist party, yes
terday declared Tyrol a fascist state.
Prince Starhemberg, leader of the
Heimwehr, declared that despite criti-
cism of Dollfuss for playing politics, Z"
he supported him because Of his
promise to make Austria fascist. His
move reflects Impotence with the rate
at which Dollfuss is carrying out the
faScisation Of Austria. Dollfuss still
considers it necessary to utilize the
support Of the Socialists, who have
great influence in Vienna.
No League Appeal Yet
Meanwhile, Dollfuss has placed IL
towns in lower Austria under commits
sars in an attempt to suppress fascists
Of the Nazi variety, and has called a
conference Of leaders of Austrian
fascist armed groups for Friday to
discuss methods of supresSing the
Nazis and the militant workers who
are fighting him despite the appeal of
the Socialist leaders.
Although he received authorization
from his cabinet yesterday to appea,
to the League Of Nations against Nazi
aggression, he has not yet taken this
step. Dispatches from London indie
ate that while the British will not
openly oppose this move, they are
prepared to do all in their power to
soft-pedal it at Geneva. Although
they are not eager to see Hitler gain
another victory, British interest in
the anti-Soviet front makes them I'M
willing to take part in the open clash
with Hitler which would follow any
decisive declaration by the League
Council.

Poland Trusts Hitler.
Says Foreign Minister

WARSAW, Poland, Feb. 6.-'Po-
land has never shared in the distrust
Of Adolf Hitler" Goreign Minister
Joseph Beck told the Senate Foreign
Affairs Committee yesterday, en-
phasizing the nature Of the alliance
recorded in the recent pact signed
by Poland and Germany.
This pact, slurring over the deep
antagoniSms which have existed since
the Versailles Treaty gave Poland a
slice of territory to the sea which
cuts completely across Prussia, en-
phasizes the anti-Soviet character of
the Nazi-Polish understanding. Only
antagonism to the Soviet Union could
bring these two governments to over
look for the moment the existing
antagonisns be 'ween them.
