Voroshilov
hits back

at slanders

By ALAN WINNINGTON ~
PEKING
Regardless of any shortcom-
ings, every material guaran-
tee for democracy exists in the
Soviet Union, Soviet President
Klementi Voroshiloy told a
special meeting of the National
People’s Congress standing

committee here last week.
Speaking in the presence of
Mao Tse-tung and other lead-
ers of the People’s Republic
of China, Voroshilov said that
in the Soviet Union there was
no exploitation of man by man
— “every citizen can work
according to ability’ and be

paid according to quantity and —

quality of his) work.”

Only under socialist :demo-
cracy can the people take an
active part in the state ad-
ministration, Voroshiloy added.

Whatever its form, the sub-
stance of socialist democracy
“is a regime of an absolute ma-
jority. of the people, led by the
workers.” nan

Owing to historical condi-
tions, the Soviet revolution
could not develop peacefully
and this decided' the road of
development of democracy in

the Soviet Union, said Voroshi-

loy.

The strength of that dem-
ocracy lay in the socialist
ownership of all means of pro-
duction and the elimination of
exploitation of men by men.

Statements about the limita-

tions of Soviet democracy by ©

its one-party system were
“slanderous.” Actually, among
recently elected local Soviet
deputies almost 55 per cent
were*not members of the Com-
munist party.

“We do not hide our short-
comings and are trying to get
rid of them,” he said. After
the 20th congress of the Com-
munist party, many measures
had been taken to develop
democracy farther.

He applauded the different
system in China, where under
different conditions, it was pos-
sibel to develop a united front
of the democratic parties and
organisations. The Chinese
and Soviet peoples, he said,
would march together to new
socialist victories in unity.
