Newspaper Report
Comrades, in all countries communist leaders are suffering unimaginable sacrifices. They are dying by the thousand in Finland and Hungary and other countries. But no persecutions can arrest the growth of communism, and the heroism of fighters like Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg gives us courage and faith in the complete victory of communism, (Comrade Leninâs speech was drowned in thunderous cheers. The âInternationaleâ was sung.)
