I ee | Tuesday, December 9, 1924 FARMERS’ PRESS’ GETS PEEVED AT DAILY WORKER Bites Itself Rape Reds and Mourns Magnus (Special to the Daily Worker) WILLISTON, No. Dakota, Dec. 8.— The Williams County Farmers’ Press, which is the name for the newspaper. department of the capitalist dictator; ship in this locality, is;so mad that it is biting itself like an angry rat- tler. In its edition of November 27, it devotes a large chunk of the front page a story printed by the DAILY WORKER telling of the election of A, C. Miller, secretary of the Workers Party local, to the state legislature with a vote of 1,777. On the editorial page most of the space is given to attacks on the Com- munists, the rest being boosts for the American Legion, Magnus Johnson and Lynn J. Frazier, the heroes of the farmer-labor-non-partisan league combination. It says that both Com- rade Miller and Andrew Omholt, who ran for sheriff, failed to “advertise themselves as Communists until after the Farmers’ Press exposed them.” Concerning this statement, Comrade Omholt says: “The so-called Farmers’ Press tells a deliberate lie. We had ourselves advertised all over the coun- ty as Communists, both before and after this ‘exposure.’” Gives Blood for Comrade... BOSTON, Mass.—Two fellow °shép- mates of Carl E.

Washington Bivd., Chicago, ft PITTSBURGH, PA. DR. RASNICK DENTIST ert Dental Service Editor’s Note—Every day until publication has been completed, the DAILY WORKER will publish a new chapter from the book, “Len- in:. The Great Strategist of the Class War,” by A. Losovsky, secre- tary of the Red International of Labor Unions. The nineteenth chap- ter is entitled, “Formal Logic versus Revolutionary Tactics.” ee F one were to approach the estima- tion of Lenin’s activities from the point of view of formal logic, one would find quite a number of contra- dictions. On the one hand, if one analyzes his activity from the point of view of the objective conditions with which Lenin was dealing, and also con- siders dialectically the developments themselves, then all contradictions will disappear. He pursued the tac- tics of quiek changes in orientation. His agrarian program between 1901 and 1903 had been based upon the principle of the division of land among the peasants, and in October of 1917 he carried thru the socialization of land. Like all social-democrats Lenin started out as one favoring the de- fense of the fatherland. However, when the last war broke out, he im- mediately adopted the attitude of un- compromising hostility to the theory and practice of national defense, He declared that not even the defeat of Russia would matter for the working class. At that time the Marxian liter- ature had just begun to discuss the problem of national and imperialist war. Lenin began devoting his atten- tion to this problem and came to the conclusion that it is our duty to trans- form the imperialist war into a civil war. i From the provisional government of Russia he demanded the immediate convocation of the constituent assem- bly, and after the October revolution he dispersed this very same assembly. In the beginning Lenin was in favor of military Communism, but in 1921 he introduced the New Economie Poli- cy. Following the socialization of the land in 1917, he favored in 1918 the formation of special committees com- posed of the poorest peasants, in order to split the peasantry thereby deciding the fate of the civil war in the vil- lages, Starting ‘out as an adherent of the idea of revolutionary war, he yet rejected this idea in 1918, and signed the Brest Litovsk peace treaty. A CHARMING “TUNIC” “f 4963, This is an excellent model for a combination of two materials. Brown satin and figured crepe are yhere illustrated.

FALL & WINTER 1924 NOTICE TO PATTERN BUYERS the Formal Logic versus Revolutionary Tactics And in 1920, he again favored the rey- olutionary war, this time against Po- land, A deadly enemy of reformism, opposed to all dealings with the re- formists, yet when conditions changed he declared in favor of the united front as a means of combating reform- ism altho it involved dealing with the reformists. Altho he favored a direct struggle against all parties of the Sec. ond International, yet at a certain stage in the development of the class | struggle in England he favored the | idea of supporting the British Labor | Party and its coming into power, |, We could relate many more illustrations of the same kind. In view of all this, would not,.the activity of Lenin appear to be full of | Closset philosop}ers, | contradictions? adherents of the so-called rationalistic and logical formulae, could never ad- just themselves to the “illogical” thinking of Lenin. But this proves only that these people have forgotten the whole Hegelian rule that the truth is concrete. Lenin's quick changes of orientation were not caused by ab- stract reasons, but by changes of reali- ties. He was no conservor of dead formulae and lifeless slogans. Len- in’s mobility in politics and tactics was always in accord with the daily changes in the mutual relation of fore- es between classes. If we were to collect all that has | been written on Lenin by his oppon- ents, we should get one great his- torical rebus. According to some of his opponents, Lenin was a_ typical conspirator, a Blanquist, a Jacobin. Ac- cording to others, Lenin was one of the greatest opportunists, a careerist, who was determined upon getting in- to power, irrespective of the price, All | these descriptions are meaningless be- cause they are based upon single in-- stances of Lenin's activities, torn out from their connections with the whole, qualified according to the personal sentiments of one or the other of his enemies, and stamped accordingly. Lenin was a dialectician in_ politics. That is, he knew how to attack, when necessary to retreat, always accord- ing to plan, to change directions, and when the situation became favorable again, to reassume the offensive, nev- er for a second losing sight of his final aims. During the thirty years of his activities Lenin showed how changes of orientation could perf et: od” without the party or the whom he represented breaking rend necks, but on the contrary strengthen- ng their fighting ability and organiza- tion, From this point of view his en- tire political work has been a classi- cal example of revolutionary class strategy. 7-28 @ Tomorrow— “War and Revolution,” New York Workers’ School.

This plan is to create a “farmers’ export cor- poration” consisting of fifteen persons, all appointed by Coolidge and to in- clude three cabinet members, with a capital of $200,000,000 from the war finance corporation. This is to have monopoly powers in leasing, buying, selling, storing and shipping in agri- cultural products.
