SOVIET MAKES
: FARCE OUT OF

ARTICLE XII
BY MICHAEL BURSTEIN

Dy VNAANAAEAGA DOAsS GAN
Shock Brtoddier OF the 5-Yedr
Plan in Russia
Let me describe the last "elec-
ton" that attended in Lenin-
grad.
At our Putilov plant the workers
were herded together in a great
assembly. Among the speakers
was Sergei Kirov, recently assassi'
mated leader of the Communist
party. There were pictures OF
Stain, large and small, every
where. There were the usual
speeches opening and closing with
benediction at the address Of "our
great and beloved leader, Comrade
Stalin."
We, the voters, regarded the
election as a traveSty, but we
cheered the name of Stain when
ever it was mentioned. We knew
that our bosses were watching us
The secretary of the Communist
committee of the Putilov plant
then proposed the election" Of
the presiding board.
He produced ready list of can
didates. The honorary officers in
cluded Stain, VoroShilov, Kalinln
and other Communist SatrapS.
There were a few names of lead.
ing foreign Communists.
Voting by Acclaim
without giving a chance to the
assembly to express itself, he pro-
posed the election of the board.
The long.trained mass knew what
to do. We voted by acclaim. The
secretary announced that the hon
orary presidium was unanimously
elected, and proceeded to the busi'
ness of voting for the Putilov dele
gates to the Leningrad Soviet.
He nominated a prepared list
Of candidates from the PutiloV
plant to the Soviet, and asked the
Assembly to suggest other names,
Now there are $4,000 workers
in the Putilov plant, but the pro
posed official list of candidates
did not include a single working
man!
Worker Protests
An old worker arose to the floor
and declared, to our aStoniSh
ment, that this was not an elec.
ton at all, as we were presented
with ready-made representatives.
He went on to say:
Many of the candidates are
complete strangers to us, and
don't know of a name on the list
which belongs to worker at the
lathe"
The courageous speaker was ap-
plauded. The functionaries on
the platform exchanged glances.
Our Communist chairman then
announced that it was clear that
the comrade from the floor was
''old-fashioned, and under bour.
0eois influences" He added:
st is true that not all the can
didateS are workers, but they are
all representatives of the prole-
tariat. You should be ashamed to
doubt them. You may, however,
nominate additional candidates"
Many names of well-known fel.
low workers were then proposed.
But the chairman suddenly inter.
rupted the nominations by an
order that no more than five can
didates from the floor would be
allowed.
Agree on Five Names
There was considerable tumult,
but the assembly finally agreed on
five names. They were all well.
known to the great mass Of the
men as honest and bold spirits.

chairman warned us then, that
electing representatives to the Len
1ngrad Soviet requires great care
