It. 'This policy, which was in effect when the Soviet Constitution
was issued in 1936, made it possible for a government project
to have the widest discussion known in history. Under public
pressure, the first copies of the Constitution were distri-
buted to various classes of the people. A total of 70 000,000
copies of the Constitution were distributed. It was also
published in more than 10,000 newspapers,, which have a
circulation of more than 32,9000?000 copies. Discussions took
place in every farm, factoary, school and worker's club and
classes were formed for the study of the Constitution.
In short, 527,,000 meetings were held, which were attended
by 36 million persons, whc made con, nts and suggested
improvements. The Corcmittee of the Constitution received
136 proposals for alterations from individuals and groups.
These alterations were accepted, discussed and approved,,
wtien found reasonable and practical. Such opportunities
are possible only in a real daaocracy,
50 "One objection to freedoms of criticism is that it may
hinder the power to invent. The publishing of criticisms
in the press, moreover, may give the impression that the
Soviets are unsuccessful. It may be of interest to note
that most of the books., which are currently being published
to prove that there is corr ptions favoritism, or failure
in the administration of industry and agriculture in the
US.S,R, are taken from reports of the aiiovementioned dis-
cussions which have appeared in the Soviet press'. I.e.
Pravda, the paper of the Communist Party, Izvestia the
paper of the government, and Tod, the S9ndipaper, and
and other local publications.`onsidering the thousands
of concerns Tthich are organized every year in the capitalist
countries, and their failure, from the workers' viewpoint,
this criticism of the soviet organizations is thoujnt
to be unfair.
6. " '"e know that the Wafd is the only party in Ngypt which
derives its power from national support and not from the
Palace. It is also the only party which does not maintain
good relations with the Palace. Why, therefbres has it
assured power several times only to be dismissed from
rule each time, and why has each V/afdist parliament been
dissolved? These events indicate clearly that the Wafd
always assttes poorer not because of its strength but
beiise of the pressure of English imperialism. History
shows that the t:afd is the only party which can influence
the people and establish the order desired by imperialist
