ELECTIONS PLANNED IN RUSSIA
SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT BY COMMISSAR United Press Association—By Electric Tei egraph—Copyright (Received October 29, 7.10 p.m.) LONDON, October 29. The Moscow correspondent of “The Daily Telegraph” says: M. Molotoff, President of the Council of the People's Commissars, has issued a declaration in connection with the coming elections, in which 90,000,000 will participate, though only a single Party will be represented by candidates. As M. Molotoff points out, “In our elections no group hostile to the regime dare raise its nose.” M. Molotoff adds: The Red Army’s might has bred a sort of respect for Russia in foreign bourgeois countries, but he admits the Soviet has not yet learned to handle factories, power stations and newly-built mines. “We have had the most modern machinery treated barbarously. The State collective farms, with Communist managers, are the worst sinners, who leave the real responsibility to others.”
