2. In the forests of India there are not so many trees and bushes are not so thick as they are in the hot wet parts of Africa.This kind of forest is called the jungle.The jungle is the home of the tiger.It is difficult for other animals to see the tiger as it makes its way through the long grass because of the stripes of black and orange on its body.With shining green eyes the tiger runs through the jungle looking for food.

The tiger,like the lion,kills and eats the weaker animals that live in or near the jungle.So it must be able to move without making a noise.It must also be able to jump very far in order to catch the animal it wants to kill .This is why the tiger has a body that can jump so far,legs that are so terribly strong,and paws that can walk so quietly. a.What is the forest in India usually called?

3. The question is often asked:\say-socialism?\development which will abolish private ownership of the means of

production.The means of production are today the property of a small group of capitalists.They use their property to exploit the labour of millions for their own personal profit. By socialism we mean collective ownership by the

whole people of all the socially necessary means of production(land, natural resources,industries, railroads, banks,communications,etc.). We mean the operation of these means of production through a planned economy which will guarantee an ample supply and distribution of all commodities and services to all the people. Socialism does not exclude private ownership of personal property; in fact,most of us would have far more under socialism than we have now.Socialism denies the right to use any savings or possessions to exploit the labour of others.Under socialism, work is the right and duty of all able-bodies in accordance with the concept , \shall he eat.\

b.Under socialism would we have more or less property than we have now? c.Under socialism what is the right and duty of all people? d.What is abolished in the socialist state?

S. imperialists,give vent to their pent-up hatred and become eager to turn their guns against the U. S. aggressors.

Some of these Korean soldiers have displayed extraordinary heroism after joining the people's forces.They are successfully persuading thousands of South Korean forces to surrender.This is one instance of how they go about doing this.During a patrol mission, one of these liberated soldiers, Sun Hyng Sun, sighted a group of puppet Korean troops on a hill.

What is the sense of fighting against your own people for the American aggressors and traitor Rhee? Come over, brothers!\
