During the years of war he ruthless- ly opposed and attacked every shade of opportunism, particularly the meaningless pacifist abortion of Kaut- sky. But it was only after the Octo- ber revolution that conditions became ripe for the Third International, con- ditions which laid the national, ter- ritorial, social, and political founda- tions for the International of action. The Russian experiences served the Communist International as the guid- ing line of its policies. However, Lenin did not reject in an offhand manner everything that was created by the Second International. He understood how to differentiate be- tween what was valuable and what was not. In his article entitled “The Third International and Its Place in History,” he said the following: “The First International laid the OUR DAILY PATTERNS A PRACTICAL “WORK” FROCK quires 4% y EVER POPULAR.

The Second International constitutes the epoch in which the ground has been prepared in a number of countries for @ mass movement. The Third Inter- national utilizes the results, of the activities of the Second International, breaks with the opportunistic, social- chauvinistic, and petty-bourgeois ten- dencies, and begings to realize the dic- tatorship of the proletariat.” In the same article Lenin explains what he considered the foundation of the Third International: “The historic world significance of the Communist International consists in this that it begins to put into effect the things which Marx has ‘proven theoretically to be a necessity, there- by realizing the consequences pro- duced by the socialist and labor move- ment, that is, the dictatorship of the proletariat.” Lenin gave the Communist. Inter- tion by the formulating many of national not only its ideological direc- tion by formulating many of the theses adopted by the Comintern, which have drawn the attention of the Communist Parties to the importance of the agrarian and colonial questions, to the mutual relations between the dictatorship and capitalist democracy, but he alsp participated directly and actively in the solution of all problems confronted by the Communist Inter- national. Between Congresses heal ways occupied himself very intensive- ly with the problems of Communist Parties all over the world. And when, in the beginning of 1920, he noticed the appearance of a sort of utopian Communism, he began. struggling against it in his famous booklet, “The Infantile Sickness fo Communism,” thereby dealing a death-blow to, this tendency. After the formation of the Com- munist International, Lenin’s main worry was to close the gates to the opportunist elements. The famous 21 points, which attracted so much at- tention, not only of the reformist press but also of the capitalist press, belong to Lenin. Lenin looked upon the Communist International not as a meeting place of all kinds of inde- pendent national parties, but as an ab- solute homogeneous international fighting organization. However, he al- ways had regard for the situations of the various countries, and never presented exaggerated demands to the newly-formed Communist organiza- tions, for he knew only to. well how much effort it would require " to educate politically and organization- ally and to put on the right track all those new Communist Parties which had just emerged from the rahks of social democracy. He considered’ it the best means to pursue a clear rev- olutionary policy and, in this. sense, he developed his activities in the Com- munist International. Lenin was, for the Third International, what Marx was for the First. The revolutionary workers of all countries have still a oH to learn from Lenin’s works, par- cularly from his actions, Leninism and Communism ‘are one and the same thing. * 6 Tomorrow—“Lenin and the Tra Unions.” ED.

This leaves the league with nothing to do, [t is little better than a dead slogan or a pious wish. But the Egyptian question refuses to be sidetracked, Senator Louis Fan- ous, chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the Egyptian senate, sent a memorandum to the chairman of the league council declaring that the Egyptian parliament’s plea for in- tervention to the league did not come from the government, it nevertheless, represented the sentiments of the Egyptian people. Faced The Cannons. The reason the appeal didn ome ‘rom the Egyptian government is be- cause England had cannons pointing at its members and sevéral of them were thrown into jail immedietely after the killing of Sir Lee Stack, In a prepared statement for the press, Senator Fanous said: “We want to find out if the league is merely trying to dodge benind tech- nicalities and quibbling and whether might and force still rule the world despite the allies’ grand pose and idealistic statements during the war, British Repression, “Despite the British efforts to stifle the discussion here and sending For- eign Minister Austen Chamberlain to throttle the other delegates, we be- lieve the people of Europe and Ameri- ca, too, must be made to realize what the seizure of Egypt and the Sudan means. Hundreds of millions of peo- ple of different race, different color, Page Fiva = Hungarian Workers in Drama by Lassen. Reviewed by Simon Felshin, The play, “Hungary, 1914-1919," by John Lassen, the eminent young Hun- garian Communist writer, was pro- duced with great success at the Meckescher Foundation Building, 104th Street and Fifth Avenue, New York, City, on Saturday evening. and Sunday afternoon, Nov. 15 and 16. John Lassen, who has displeased the authorities here with a poem recently printed in the Hungarian Communist daily, Elore, depicts in his: play the eve of the war, the war, the revolu- tion, and the ‘counter-revolution. It ends with‘an epilogue which is:a prophecy of a new and: better life that’ is: yet to come in spite of the crimes of the counter-revolution. Play is Direct, There is nothing equivocal in the play, nothing of the ambiguity of petty bourgeois pacifists, such as Romain Holland or Ernest Toller. Everything is direct. A hatred for the capitalist’s war, a glorification of the worker's revolution and anathema for the murderous counter-revolution. Not a moment did the play lag. There was stirring scene after stirring scene. The play had dynamic quali- ties. There were moments when the audience were stirred to their depths. The mass scenes were of tremendous effectivenes: The writer evidently knows magges and how they act. With an amateur Company of work- ers with insufficient properties the production was nevertheless excellent. Evidently the director could work wonders with little af his disposal. The playing was better than could have been expected and the reason must be that the workers who com- posed the cast felt every bit of the theme and acted with the feeling born of actual revolutionary experience. The devices used in the production were inthe latest European style, with the scenes taking place in panels so..that. quick changes could be ef- fected by switching the action from one panel to another. Last Scene Powerful. The last scene was overpowering in its emotional qualities. On one side was the prison cell with the shadow of the gallows on the wall and the young revolutionary leader awaiting death. On the other, the prison hos- pital with the sweetheart of the revo- lutionist, a daughter of the bourgeoisie gone over to the revolutionary side, in the throes of child-birth. And when, outside, the revolutionist is hanged, | his sweetheart dies. But the child has been born, and this child is the symbol for the new and glorious life that must be born out of the suffer- ing of the present.

Metcalf of Met- calf Bros. & Co., which gives us direct representation in the upper house of congress,” the American Association of Woolen and Worsted Manufactur- ers’ held its annual get-together at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York City. All phases of the business end of the tex- tile industry were discussed in the lengthy speeches but never a word about the human factor, the worker. None of the manufacturers assumed that the new senator from Rhode Island would represent the people of the state instead of his business as- sociates who paid for his election. Gifford said:;“In matters of national seope, the association each year in- creases its position and its capacity for influence in Washington, and in this connection ‘it is with no small sratification that we view the recent election of business men to the United States senate,” and mentioned Met- calf as example.

Parker Gilbert, jr., agent general, announces that “the first year’s reparation an- nuity is to come from the proceeds of the foreign loan and the interest of the German railroad bonds, so as to avoid a drain on the German budget for the first year.” Another feature of the Dawes plan which is nt working so well, is the 26° per cent “reparations export tax” on German products. This matter will be further discussed by the allied finance ministers at their meeting in Paris in January, according to Gilbert. Under this. plan, Germany is con- trolled by the Americam bankers financing the “Dawes plan” and ig being kept from entering the com- petitive world markets.
