ELECTIONS IN RUSSIA.
ONLY ONE PARTY,
LONDON, Oct. 29. The Daily Telegraph’s Moscow correspondent says that M. Molotoff, President of the Council of People’s Commissars, has issued a declaration m connection with the coming elections in which 90,000,000 will participate, though only a single party is represented by candidates.
As M. Molotoff points out: “In our elections no group hostile to the regime dare raise its nose.’’ M. Molotoff adds that the Red Army’s might has bred a sort of respect for Russia in foreign bourgeois countries, but admits that the Soviet has not yet learned to handle its factories, power stations, and newlybuilt mines.
“We are most modest,” he said. “Modem machinery is treated barbarously on the. State collective farms. The Communist managers are the worst, sinners. They leave the real responsibility to others.”
