BY LESLIE MORRIS Nothing can withstand Stalin’s dream of future . R aduray I see in a mind a noble and puissant Nation rousing herself like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks: Methinks 1 see her as an Eagle mewing her mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the full mid-day beam; purging and un- scaling her long-abused sight at the fountain itself of heav- enly radiance; while the whole noise of timorous and flocking birds, with those also that love the twilight, flitter about, amaz- ed at what she means, and in their envious gabble’ would prognosticate a year of sects and schisms.” : aa centuries ago the great- est of English revolutionary writers, when England herself had a revolution, wrote these prophetic words. The blind John Milton understood the march of history. How he would today transfix and pillory the motley crew of ignorant and malicious scrib- blers, veritable pimps of the pen, who are battening upon the sor- row of the Soviet people. For that is a sorrow of which they know nothing, this tribe of fearful and panicky “experts” who see in the march of history only the reflection of their own sordid appetites for the crumbs which fall from the tables of ‘the Yankee sabre-rattlers. Out of the death of Stalin they contrive to beat the war. drums and fill the air with alarums. Out of the grieving for the best and most beloved son of the So- viet peoples, they coin theirs counterfeit currency of death and hatred. * They hate the memory, aye, the very name, of the man whose leadership saved their own worthless skins from the Hitler- ites. They revile the man who point- ed the way to liberation from hunger, disease, ignorance and war, for all humanity. They defile in the public press the man whose genius enabled him, first of all men, to describe the practical steps to the con- struction of classless communist society — when each will receive according to his need. They reveal only their’ own hollowness — and that of their paymasters—and the very depth of their illiterate venom is the measure of the greatness of Stalin. These pygmies have an aim, a goal, and it is to still further be- cloud and blind people, in the hope that they will respond to their animal cries for war. So it is that our duty -iehioss of us who see the truth — to make known more actively than ever the real worth and work of Stalin, to explain, explain and explain again the essence of his teachings. For what can a against them? What can defeat the su- premacy of the simple and pow- erful idea of “peace between all nations”—the last spoken- words. of Stalin before the 19th Con- gress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union? What-can withstand the moral- political unity, born of struggle - and the fire of war and the clash of opinions, which binds together the party which he led to vic- tory — whose Stalinist leader- ship, trained and nurtured.by his example, now leads the united peoples of the Soviet Union in the triumphal march to commun- ist society — a world of a su- per-abundance of material goods, the end of man’s primitive phase and the threshold of the new man — social man in all his no- bility? This we must make known — and the liars and cheats will be confounded. e i The crowning work of Stalin’s life was the mighty decision of the 19th Congress of the CPSU to go over to the new life of com- munist society. This best student and creative disciple of Lenin, only a few months before his end, penned what history will surely record’ was the greatest achievement of a life of tremend-* ous works — Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR. Herein is given to all who will ° study the scientific clarity and -superb optimism and faith in mankind which will raise not only the people of the Soviet Union, but millions in the Peo- ple’s Democracies, and eventu- ally of those countries in which © Communist parties “have not yet come to power,” to the new lifer Stalin’s life and works were .of world- -historical significance. In the party he unified and led, there are millions who take his life as their model, to strengthen the Soviet Union as a bulwark of peace and national independ- ence in a world'which is chang- ing before our very eyes. - Hor those of us who heard him make his last public speech in Moscow last October, the mem- ory will live as a moment charg- ed with great love. His last words of advice to the people of the world will guide them to- save the honor and independ- ence, the peace and security, of their nations — and to win the great struggle for national and social liberation which not all yelps of the warmongers will or can avert, try as they may. Poor son Adventure and fun. Poor son of a gun. of a gun He died in a war that couldn’t be won It was not, as he thought, é His corpse was praised: And a cross: was raised And that’s all he got They put an “S” in front of laughter. Put it before, instead of after For where they primed their stocks with water They make more money today with slaughter. J. S.. WALLACE Premier J. V. ‘Stalin led the Soviet Union through the period of socialist construction to the eve — of transition to a communist party. In Nalbandyan’‘s painting, “For the People’s Happiness” (above), he is seen with government and Communist party leaders, planning the Constructions of Communism. In 1902, when he was exerting all his energies to found the ° party. of Lenin and Stalin, the great Lenin’ quoted the Russian . democratic writer Pisarev: | “Tf man were completely de- prived of the ability to dream, if he could never run ahead and mentally conceive in an entire and completed picture the re- sults of the work he is only just commencing, then I cannot imagine what stimulus there. a?
