SOVIET CELEBRATES.

BRITISH COMMUNISTS PRESENT. (BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) ("THE TIMES.") LONDON, November 9. "The Times" Riga correspondent says:— " 'Nobody must stay at home, but everybody must be in the streets to swell the mighty living currents converging on Lenin's mausoleum,' was the Soviet's order to the Moscow populace to celebrate the anniversary. The parade included an unprecedentedly large parade of National Cavalry formations from the Eastern peoples, including Turkomans and Caucasians. "M. Kalinin, M. Bucharin, Mr Gallagher (a British Communist) and Mr S. Saklatvala (Communist member of Parliament for Battersea) were among the orators at Lenin's mausoleum. They emphasised that Bolshevism had brought the world to the brink of ruin. It would shortlv fall, enabling the establishment of Soviet States throughout the world. "The celebrations included a two-day theatrical representation, broadcast all over Russia, of the decade's _ events, giving prominence to the British general strike, the Trade Union Council traitors, and Sir Austen Chamberlain's, Mr Stanley Baldwin's, and Mr Win* ston Churchill's part therein. It was declared that M. Voikoff's murder (in Poland) was directed from London. The representation culminated in a British delegate paying tribute in broken Russian to the' Soviet's progress."
