It is a sign of socialism last week. Defense Commissar Klimentiy ("Klim") Voroshilov and his Marshals and Generals of the Red Army cracked out speeches all over Russia in their hoarse, parade-ground voices, calling the election "our Mobilization!" and making vigorous efforts to get out the vote...

Three hours later the champagne was still being quaffed, and over coffee and liqueurs friendly questions & answers cracked for another two hours...
...Event of the week in every part of the Soviet Union was a local speech, duplicated by thousands of orators, echoing the keynote sounded at Moscow on the 19th Anniversary of the Red Army by Defense Commissar Klimentiy ("Klim") Voroshilov. The official keynote: "The two countries which most threaten peace-Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan-have made no secret of their plans to attack the Soviet Union. . . .
