excuse for your husband to act
as he did. The button to
spread the alarm was right at
his elbow. All he had to do
was to press that button as
soon as he heard, the holdup
men.
But did he do it? No! In
stead, he became panicky and
frightened. He lost his nerve
completely. And the result
was a thorough getaway for the
bandits and the loss of a
fortune to the company.
"Of course, I have had re-
ports on my desk that Green
had been acting strangely for
some weeks. He seemed to

to fire him for his eccentricities.

1t was pathetic to see this
little woman's struggle to get a
grip on herself. She was badly
frightened. This man before
her was too big for her world.
She was finding it very difficult
to talk to him."
Henry Green isn't a coward"
she said desperately. "You don't
understand, Mr.. Alden. You just
don't understand. My husband
isn't a coward. It's just the
opposite. He's-he's a hero!"
Alden's eyes opened wide.
"You don't say!" he sneered.
MAY I ask what makes you so
blind as to think he's a hero?"
The woman pulled nervously
at her lip. She shivered. Then
she spoke a bit calmly.

The Coward

THE FRAIL, little woman
seemed lost in the big chair.
She twisted a handkerchief
nervously as she looked at
Mr.. Frank Alden, president
and owner Of the Alden
warehouse.
"Well, madame" said Mr..
Alden coldly, what is 1t you
wish. I have been gracious
enough to see you. Please state
your case in a hurry as I'm
a very busy man."
The woman made an effort
to pull herself together.
II know it, Mr.. Alden" she
offered in a frightened voice.
Its very good Of you to trouble
to see me. IL just don't know
how to begin. H.
The big shot swung around
in his chair.
IT will begin for you, Mrs.
Green" he interrupted. "You
have come to me to plead for
your husband, Henry Green.
He wants his job back, and he
has sent you around to see what
you can do. Well, I'm telling
you right now that you are
wasting your time. We do not
want men of Henry Green's
type around this organization.

For all those years, he has. been
paid a good salary. But that
salary was paid him with the
understanding that, should our
warehouse ever be held up, he
would do all in his power to
save the company's assets.
"The other night, the holdup
became an actuality. And then,
after having accepted our money
for years, he showed his true
colors. He proved himself an
out-and-out coward"
Mr.. Alden paused for breath.
Mrs. Green seized the oppor-
tunity to break in.
"Please don't say such things,
sir. Please don't. My husband
is a good man, a kind man.
Please don't talk that way
about him."

WHEN I'M DEAD!

WHEN I'M DEAD!
When I am dead bury me
On a hill where all can see;
Place a monument above my head,
Make the world cry when I'm dead.
When I am dead, wash my face;
You IL find an old cloth any place;
Comb my hair in some smart style,
And set my lips so I can smile.
I'd like to think the day die
Those who laughed at me might cry;
I'd like bath to kill the dirt,
And if you can, lend me shirt.
I'll give it back on Judgment Day,
For that's the time when all must pay;
Then cover me with filtered sod,
I must look neat when I meet God.

BEGIN BETTER LIFE WITH END OF CAPITALIST
EXPLOITATION

It is obvious that this historical
victory over the exploiters could not
but bring about a fundamental i'm
provement in the material situation
and living conditions of the toiling
masses.
The elimination Of parasitic classes
brought about the disappearance of
the exploitation of man by man, The
labor of the worker and peasant has
been liberated from exploitation, The
income OF exploiters, pressed out of
the toll OF the people, remains now in
The hands of the toiling masses, and
is being utilized partly for the extern
sion OF production and the drawing
Of new sections of toilers into pro-
duction, partly for directly raising the
income OF the workers and peasants.
Unemployment, the scourge of the
working class, has disappeared. While
in bourgeois countries millions of I'M
employed suffer want and starvation.
owing to absence of work, in our
country there are no more workers
who have no work and earnings.
With the disappearance of the
kulak [rich peasant landlord slavery
and poverty have disappeared in the
countryside. Any peasant, whether
llolhos or individual, has at present

estly and not to loaf, not TO cadge,
not to plumber the kolhos property.
The elimination OF exploitation,
the elimination Of unemployment in
cities, the elimination Of poverty in
the countryside--such are the histor-
ical achievements in the material sit
uation of the toiling masses, of which
the workers and peasants in the most
democratic bourgeois countries can
not even dream.
The face OF our large cities and
industrial centers has changed. An
inevitable attribute of large cities in
bourgeois countries are slums, So

individual members Of the Party and
often make themselves known. We
must not consider the Party like
something separate from the sur
rounding people. 1t lives and works
within surroundings. 1t is not sur
prising that outside, unhealthy senti-
ments often penetrate the Party.
Undoubtedly there is still soil for
such sentiments in our country, be-
cause there still exists some inter-
mediate sections of the population
IN towns and villages furnishing fer
tile soil for such moods.
The Seventeenth Party Conference
said one of our basic political tasks
in fulfilling the second Piateletka
consists in overcoming survivals of
capitalism in economy and conscious
ness OF the people, This is an abso-
lutely correct idea. But can we say
already that We have overcome all
surviyals of capitalism in economy?
NO. Still more, we can't say that we
have overcome the survivals Of cap
ltalism consciousness of the people
behind their economic position, but
also because there are capitalist sur
roundings striving to revive and up
hold survivals of capitalism in econ
omy and consciousness of the people
OF the U. S. S. R. and against which
we Bolsheviks must always keep the
powder dry"
With a number OF examples, Stain
indicates that among individual
members Of the Party confusion still
exists on a number of questions on
Leninism, for instance, questions on
building classics society.

not be established spontaneously. It

Stain devoted the last part Of his
report to the Party question. He said
that the Congress is taking place
under the banner Of complete VIC
tory OF Leninism, liquidation OF the
remnants of anti-Leninist groups.
"Antt-Leninist, Trotskyist group has
been broken and dispersed. Their
organizers are now lounging about in
the backwards of the bourgeois parties
abroad. The anti-Leninist, right de-
viationists broken and dispersed or
ganizers have long ASSOCIATED them
selves from their former views, striv-
ing in every way to expiate their sins
before the Party.
National deviationist groups, broken
and dispersed organizers, have either
completely merged with interven-
zionist emigres, or recognize their
guilt.
Policy industrialization triumphed;
policy liquidation kulaks compact
collectiyization triumphed; experience
proved the victory of socialism in one
country entirely possible. Obviously
these successes, especially the victory
OF the Piateletka completely demor-
allied, smashed and ruined anti
feminist groups. The Party is solidly
united as never before (stormy pro-
longed applause).
Does this mean that the struggle is
finished and further offensive of
socialism is unnecessary? Does this
mean that everything is all right.
that there won't be further deYia-
tons in the Party. No. It doesn't
mean that the Party enemies and
