Great Progress Of Socialism
Moscow, Dec. 12.
M. Stalin making his arst speech on the Soviet elections to a crowd- od meeting at the Botol Theatre, eulogised the manner in which the election was being, conducted, and referred to the progress made in socialism in Russia in the past ten year
Our elections are the only ones in the whole world which are really free and democratic," Stalin con- tinued. "In our country Socialism is not merely being bullt but had already become part of the life of the people some ten years ago. The question could still be dis- cussed whether socialism could be bulit in our country or not. To- day it is no longer a question for discussions. To-day it is a matter of facts, a matter of real life, a matter of habits that permeate the whole, life of the people."
Stalin's arrival on the platform was greeted with prolonged cheer- ing after which he confessed he had no intention to speak but was dragged to the meeting. He is candidate for the supreme Soviet from the Stalin area of Moscow where the meeting was held.
Before Stalin spoke workers, in- tellectuals and, housewives pointed out to the audience the great honour of voting for Stalin.
Every mention of Stalin's name was greeted with applause.-- Reuter
