MOlOtOy Reports

Then Molotov reported as Chair
man of the Peop/'s Commissars of
the Soviet Union. The first section
of his speech bore on international
relations.
Referring to the changes in the
four years since the last Congress,
Molotov pointed out that although
socialist victory within the coun-
try was assured at that time, only
one-third of the peasantry was col
lectivized then. Here and later Mo-
lotov raised the fact that now cap
italism was eliminated from indus
try and nine-tenths of the agricul-
tural land was collectiyized. Molo-
tov contraSted, amid intense inter-
est on the part of the delegates,
the situation in the Soviet Union,
whose production had more than
doubled in the last four years, with
the continued crisis and depression
in the capitalist countries. He ex-
planned this as one key to the in
ternational situation.
With certain circles abroad speak
ing more and more openly of con-
quest, war preparations, and the
search for allies, the danger of war
on the Soviet Union has in
creased. He described the many
phases of the peace policy of the
Soviet Union, the great role of
pacts and non-aggression treaties,
though these were rejected by
Germany and Japan. The Soviet
Unions policy for world peace was
loudly cheered by the Congress and
likewise the Soviet Unions entry
into the League of Nations.
The evidence of the strength of
the Soviet Union and the unity of
the country around it's foreign
policy was Molotov's open warning
to Japan and Germany that any
aim to seize Eastern Siberia, as
publicly stated in some circles in
Japan, or such statements as Hit
ler's "Mein Kampf' contains about
expansion eastward and at the ex-
pense of the Soviet Union, will
cause the Soviet Union to draw
the necessary conclusions and act
accordingly.
In spite of all this the Soviet
Union strives to maintain peace
with Japan and Germany. he de-
clared. The delegates demon ztrated

many other industries, preparation
Of strike is on the order Of the day.
The basic issues in all these
strikes are similar. The N. R. A.
has served its purpose. 1t has in
creased bosses profit, established
company unions, speeded up the
workers, and kept wages down.
The growing wave of strikes is
aimed to block the intensified sharp
attack Of the Roosevelt government
on the workers. Wages are being
cut, the company union legalized,
and an attempt to smash the Amer
lean Federation of Labor unions is
under way.
The Roosevelt government has
increased the terror against the
workers in order to put over this
union smashing.
The influence of the rank and file
of the American Federation of
Labor. in these strike preparations
is greater than in previous strikes.
In auto and in steel, the national
officials of the American Federation
of Labor carrying out William
Greens policies, are attempting to
prevent the members of the unions
from preparing strikes. It is the
local unions and the district organi-
cations (as in the steel industry
which are initiating and carrying
through the strike preparations.
Every days developments point
to the correctness of the position of
the Communist Party in emphasiz-
ing the necessity for building the
American Federation of Labor
rank and file movement in the
unions, for organizing the unor-
ganized workers in masses into
these unions, for strengthening
them and making Of them real Or
gans of class struggle.
The rank and file in the American
Of Labor, by taking
Of the unions into their
own hands, can prevent Green and
co. from leading these strikes in
order to defeat them,

Soviet Peace Policy

THE proposal of the U. S. S. r.
on the determination of an agrees
sor has become of the greatest i'm
portance. At international confer
enceS, and in a number of interna-
tional treaties, we may come upon
statements about the necessity of
taking special measures against the
aggressor, the one who starts a
war, but, despite all this talk, the
governments of bourgeois countries
have not shown desire to clearly
state which should be considered as
the attacking side, that is, the
country responsible for the begin
ming of a war. Soviet diplomacy,
because it is particularly interested
in guarding peace and in formulat-
ing measures against military at
tacks, had to take up this matter,
Soviet diplomacy fulfilled this task
with credit. (Applause) We intro
duced such a proposal for discus
sion at international conferences.
In order that this matter should go
forward Immediately in a practical
manner, we proposed that a num-
Der of countries sign such pact;
that is, agreement on the deter
mination of the aggressor. 1t is
well known that this pact has been
signed by all states bordering the
Soviet Union in Europe, and also
by Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan.
1--WE shall consider success in this
matter as a step forward toward
ensuring the peace of Europe. From
all that has been said, it is evident
what is the basis of the foreign
policy of the Soviet Union. The
basis of our foreign policy is the
support of peace and the develop
ment of peaceful relations among
all countries. (Applause) The role
of the U. S. S. r. as firm factor
for general peace is now widely
recognized. 1t has become the rule
that other countries appeal to the
Soviet Union when a question arises
concerning the maintenance of
peace. This is easy to understand.
Not a single country, including the
smallest country on the borders of
the U. S. S. R., has grounds to feel
uneasy regarding the Soviet Union,
which is a statement that cannot
be made of the relations of some
other big nations to their neigh
bors. The authority and might of
the workers and peasants state in
international relations now serves
one cause.-the cause of general
peace. The Soviet Union has be-
come the expression of the vital in
terests of the toilers of all countries
in the sphere of international rela-
tions. Whatever our class enemies
may say, the political meaning of
the dictatorship of the proletariat
in the U. S. S. r. under conditions
when the war danger becomes more
and more real stands out more and
more clearly. There is no more
steadfast bulwark of peace through
out the world than our workers and
peasants government" applause,

Honor Dead Comrades

Kalinin opened the session with
a brief reference to the assassina-
ton Of Sergei Kirov and the death
of Valerian Kuibyshev. The audi
ence rose for a moment in their
honor.
There was tremendous cheering
when it was pointed out that all the
peoples of the Soviet Union, despite
their different cultures and Ian
guages, we're building one united
country Of socialist construction and
production.
Kalinin's calling for a presidium
resulted in a remarkable spontane-
Gus demonstration for all we'll
known leaders. When Stain, who
has been elected at almost every
workers meeting to their local So
viets, by the soViets in turn elected
to congresses of soviets, and by
the regional and republic congresses
elected to the All-Union Congress,
was nominated to the presidium
the whole mass of delegates in
stsntly shouted their approval. Loud
cries Of "Hurrah!', cheers of Long
live our leader!", and handclapping
as in a demonstration greeted Stain,
who seated himself only to be
forced to stand again whenever
someone shouted or when a cheer
from an individual delegate released
new long roll of clapping.
If any answers were needed for
those elements abroad, who specu-
late on imaginary divisions and
jealousies or counter-revolutionary
rebellious feelings among the Soviet
masses, this was the answer from
the representatives of ninety mil
lion electors, the delegates them
selves being mostly workers and
farmers direct from the mills and
farms The Congress delegates,
standing and cheering. left no doubt
that every worker and farmer, Rus
sian, Ukrainian. Central Asian, and
from every corner of the largest
country in the world, grouped him
self firmly around the Standard
bearer of the Communist Party.
Significant demonstrations were
given also to the others of the pre-
sidium of thirty-eight, notably v K.
Butcher, commander of the Far
Eastern forces of the Red Army.

missars of the R.S.FS.R.. and
others. M. NJ. Schvernik, head of
the trade unions of the Soviet
Union, was loudly applauded when
nominated. All were elected unan-
imously, Kalinin being elected chair
man and Yenukidze secretary of the
Congress.

Turkish Ambassador rose in his
box and bowed to the Congress
during long applause from the del
egates. Molotov also mentioned
briefly the relations with the other
major powers, including the U. S.
A., whose recognition of the Soviet
Union he remarked upon with sat
isfaction because the United States
formerly was the main country re-
fusing to establish normal relations.
He mentioned also the defeat OF
the English Ambassador at every
attempt, as for example at the time
of the Metrot ickers trial. to in
terfere in the internal affairs of
the Soviet Union, a fact which
caused tension and later improve
ment Of mutual relations.

to speak openly of war against the
Soviet Union a long time ago. We
cannot forget, too, that several of
the ruling parties Of Europe openly
assert as their historic task the
seizure Of territory in the Soviet
Union. Not to see the approach of
a new war means to close our eyes
to the chief danger at the present
time. The Soviet Union replied to
these threats primarily by in
creased activity in the struggle for
peace. Everyone knows how the
U. S. S. R. has taken the initiative
on the question of non aggression
pacts. During the period under re-
port, the Soviet Union concluded
pacts with the neighboring Baltic
states and with number of Eu-
ropean countries. The U. S. S. R.
is not responsible for the failure
to sign a non-aggression pact with
Japan.

adopted by this conference.
To show clearly that this is not

goes on to outline q detailed pro-
gram for starting these strike prep
arations at once in every city and

on the strike demands in the plants,

that the peoples Of the Soviet Union,
occupied with peaceful endeavors,
are worthy Of really reliable de-
lenses on the frontiers of their
country? (Applause.)
During the last few years we
have built no small number of for
titled districts, with necessary arms,
on our Western and Eastern From
tiers. But these ornaments can
not be transferred from our ter
ritory to the territory of other coun-
tries. They are intended to resist
forces. Our navy is grow
ing as a result of the building of
defensive types of vessel, mainly
whose defensive signif1-
canoe is well known. Our artillery,
tanks and aviation forces are grow
ing in number, and we must admit
we have worked with special inten-
sity in this respect. (Applause)
Our country, where there was
not and is not economic crisis, is
separated from the capitalist
countries, where crisis has caused
and still causes tremendous Gala
mites, by the frontier of the
Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies. (Applause.)
1.-THE workers now see that in
the capitalist countries, with any
system of administration, from
parliamentary to fascist, that
economic crises, with their banefuI
results, are inevitable. And con-
oisely, they see that these evils
are abolished in the country of
socialism. The workers are now
becoming convinced, not only by
MarXist theory but by actual facts
before everyone's eyes, which of
these social orders removes eco
nomic crisis and opens up I'M
limited possibilities for economic
and cultural improvement.
Gust as Russia in 1917 with its
October revolution showed the
path towards the termination of
the world slaughter, drawing this
country out of the war and thus
saving millions Of people from
death, so our country has shown
during these last five years the
way out of economic crisis and
how the workers can attain this.

The section of Green's letter cau-

For International Union
Regarding the next steps in the
struggle to build up one Interna-
tional Industrial Union within the
American Federation of Labor, con-
trolled by the rank and file and
basing itself on struggle policy the
conference decided:
To reaffirm It's previous decisions

To start petition drive in every

To address an open letter to the

NAV Be UnKeIcome Abroad

TN OTHER words, when Mr.. Hall and
l other officers of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association go abroad
next Summer they are apt to meet
changed conditions. 1t is likely that
the pleasant afternoons of tennis,
always one of the amiable adjuncts
to the entertainment of tennis big
wigs when in foreign lands, will not
be so frequent, if, indeed, there are
any at all. All of which is a sleeper
price to pay for faithfulness to
principle than might appear on the
surface.
And not only socially. but politi-
cally, repercussions of the stand of
the United States Lawn Tennis ASso-
citation will not be lacking. Wait
until the United States wants some
thing and see what happens.
OF course, our National Tennis As
sociation has no power of itself to
defeat the Czechoslovakian proposal.
A sufficient majority of other nations
affiliated with the International Fed
Grafton might be won over Whether
or not this happens, chances are that
when and if Mr.. Hall goes to Eng
land he will see fewer drawing rooms
and attend fewer cocktail and tea
parties than when last abroad.

Pitch Shots Different.

"HERE isn't much doubt as to
Rippy'S class. or to the class
of Connolly and Will and the
others close to them in ability. AL
of them play good golf and all OF
them, with a little practice on courses
where the ball must be pitched in the
air, could do well in any tournament
For the approach shots on the public
courses, in the main, are quite differ
ent from those played on the private
courses. The putting greens on the
public courses have an adamantlne
hardness in Summer that virtually
prohibits playing of a pitch shot, while
the greens at the private courses are
kept well watered and will hold a
pitch shot. Otherwise the game Is the
same, but Rippy and the others have
developed a low pitch and run shot
that won't do on the better-bunkered
private layouts.
The entire level of excellence OF
public links golf has taken big boost
over the past two years and will go
higher this year as the lads who now
trail behind Rippy get o tier. And
they will get better, for Connolly Is
not yet 20 years Of age and Will has
not reached his majority. All of them
need the experience that comes with
tournament competition against golfers
OF class. Rippy showed what he could
do at Indian Spring last May when
he beat Gene Vinson, who later won

EngIand's Influence Strong.

CERTAINLY such pressure as has
been brought to bear upon Mr..
Hall has come from England. 1t
has been heavy. Letters bearing dis
tinguished names have reached the
president of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association, and beneath the
lines of argument supporting more
liberal amateur policy it has not been
difficult to catch the note of personal
plea.
In the face of all this, involving
as it has the note of friendly rela-
tionship, a simple course for the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton to have followed would have been
to play the role of good fellows and
so cast the great weight of American
tolerance on the liberal side.
The part of one who stands
rigidly to a cause under debate, who
uncompromisingly upholds a ques-
toned standard especially when
such principles are aSsailed by per-
sons normally right thinking-is not
an enviable one to play. The person
thus Stalwart has an aspect Of
churishneSs; he is no longer a good
fellow; he is a reactionary, a round
head. Thus invested, friendships
long established cease and amenities

know.
One is that he must not Jump up on
people. The way to break him of that
is to step on his hind feet every time
he raises his front one to jump on
you. Another thing he must learn Is
that it Is against the law to chew
on rugs, curtains, furniture and
clothes. Several harsh seedlings. fol-
lowed by mild whippings with folded
newspaper, If the former alone are
ineffective, will teach him that.
For his own sake as well as for his
masters and the good of the commu-
nifty, he must learn to stay in his own
yard, to walk on the leash without
pulling or being pulled, and to stay
at heel when walking of the leash.
These may all be taught if one uses
patience and perseverance.
ZONE breeds need special training
- along various lines. Among these
are the hunting dogs, certain
large breeds used as watch dogs or IN
police work, such as Doberman PIN
schers, German shepherds, Great
Danes, etc.; Pit bull terriers. working
collies and other herding dogs, and
various other breeds.
Such specialized training generally
Is started between the ages Of 9 and
IL months. It must, however, be pre-
ceded by training in general obedience
and good manners.
