After six months of intensive in- door party activity this picnic will be ja great treat to the active party mem- bers and it goes without saying that the Young Workers League will be there in full force to share the fun as they always ‘share the work and the responsibility of the party.

Special instructors will teach the blind to read and to do the kind of productive work in which the particular district is in- terested, and when the work of in- struction has been accomplished the izba will become an economic and cultural centre for the blind of the district. The cost\of putting up basket making and weaving appar- atus in each district will be about 25 and 300 rubles respectively. The government will make a grant of money for the purpose. in addition, kindergartens, ele- mentary and secondary schools, and technical schools for the blind will be organized in the largest centers of the Soviet Union.

Class Lines Tighten. “Many of us have hidden ourselves behind the formula that the American workers were too ignorant, that the American masses were politically too backward, that it would be a waste of time to engage in the work of. or- ganization.

Give your shopmate this copy of the DAILY WORKER—but be sure to see him the next day to the workers minds with gush about heaven and hell. Bryan, to his misfortune, signified his willingness to answer questions, when he had concluded his tirade. Bryan had premised his remarks with the statement that the bible was true, “from cover to cover,” including the pillar of salt tale, and the story of the fishes and the loaves. Then a stu- dent, William G. Chase, asked an em- barrassing question, which showed de- cided skepticism with regard to a man walking on the sea, even if said man had flat feet. Bryan stammered, and could not answer. “What, you do not believe in the bible?” Bryan asked, holding his hands above his head, palms out- ward, fingers spread wide apart, in apparent astonishment. “No, I don't,” answered Chase, un- abashed. “My boy,” said Bryan, “IT am sorry for you and ashamed of you.” But Chase’s question remained wnat swered. The second question laid Bryan low and completed his rout. George L. Cassidy, another student, took a long breath and asked, “Isn’t it possible that there may be a philoso- phy gained by evolutionary thinking which presents a worship and rever+ ence for future generations as an ideal and looks toward the develap+ ment of heaven upon earth thru the use of science, and is not this ideal a fine and worthy one, capable of pro- ducing a not less noble staandard of morality?” Bryan's answer was as illogical as the rest of his speech. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he answered, “I've come @ long way to address you students of Brown University, but I shall cer- tainly have to retire before this mag- nificent bubbling fountain of wisdom on my right.” He then left the stage, amid the The Tactical Problems of Our . provement Association, mouthpiece of seri Times Are Practically a Question] | years in Europe, that the question i¢ cause, we lacked historical exper-|the Garvey pei to Africa” move- inthe. outers Serre core eee) Wer dn Seen hisses and boos of almost the entire of Dates and Ways and Means In raised and raised very insistently ience.

OMRADES, we know that Marxism / and especially Leninism, which is the Marxism of our times, has given us the theory of world revolution. This theory has been sufficiently! elaborated and can serve as a guide for the entire work of the Communist International But there are two; problems, the solution of which is} Rot contained in the theory itself, for by their very nature these problems can only be solved on the basis of his- torical experience. These problems at present form the} center of all Communist work. Firstly, it is a question of the tempo} of the proletarian revolution, of the rapidity of its development generally, of its date. Secondly, it is a question of line of march, of its political geog- raphy. Comrades, it seems to me that these two decisive questions sum up the tactical problems of the recent past, of the present day and probably of the near future. § to the tempo, the terms of the de- velopment of the proletarian revo- lution, the experience not only of the Comintern, but also of the First In- ternational and of the entire work of such people as Marx and Lenin show us how difficult {t was not to make any. mistakes in this respect. On the strength of the experience which we already possess we have realized how cautious we must deal with the ques- tion of the exact dates of the world revolution, and how frequently and | rades, whether this view was correct of the} further Ine of march of the prole- tarian revolution, whether it is the only possible way, the only possible geographical extension of the world) revolution. Is it absolutely necessary for the revolution to spread to Eu-| rope thru Germany? Is it not pos-| sible that here too we can make mis-} takes in foreseeing the route? Com-| it seems to me that respect to this question we must not} cling too closely to our former views for fear of respecting on a larger scale what Brandler did on a small scale when he wanted to begin the German revolution in Saxony at any price. It can happen that the future route will not necessarily be thru Germany—in the first instance. We must consider the other possibilities. Lenin on the Connection Between the Russian and the Interna- tional Revolution T the Third Congress of the Com- intern, Comrade Lenin expressed the following views on the interma- tional situation and the connection be- tween the Russian and international resolution: “When we, (that is, the Russian- G. Z.) began the international revo- lution, we did not do it because we were convinced that we could ac- celerate its development, but be cause a whole series of circum- stances induced us to begin this revolution. We thot: either the in- ternational revolution will come to our aid, and then all our victories will be safeguarded, or we will do with |. space” would appear to be more pro- longed than one could have expected. Thus comrades, we must always bear in mind that the questions of the dates and route of the revolution are always much more complicated than we formerly imagined. Marxism and Leninism give us a great deal, but even they cannot give us what can only be achieved by the historical experience of the revolution itself. The Policy Adopted by the Fifth Congress has LY mine months have passed since our Fifth Congress. In such a short period the general state of affairs has not radically changed. However, many things are much clearer to us now than they were be- fore and I therefore think that the task before the enlarged executive of the E. C. C. I. consists in summing up the lessions of the events which have already become more lucid. In the first instance it is essential for us to review the present political and economic world situation, even if we do it on general lines. We must do this in order to test the correct- ness of the decisions of the Fifth Congress and to decide: if the policy adpoted by the congress was correct, we will continue to follow it, but if it was found to be erroneous, we should alter it or revise it completely. I want to say most emphatically that laid down by the Fifth Congress has been, in my opinion brilliantly vindicated. I want to re- mind you here of a few of the most The Negro World prints in full the manifesto of the central executive committee of ,the Workers Party which calls for a united front of all Negro and white workers to fight for the right of Negro workers to organ- ize. The statement points out that Garvey at the New York convention of his association, truckled to the ku klux klan, that the “Back to Africa” movement is a policy of retreat and will not emancipate the American Negroes who have made the United States their home, The statement, however, demands the release from Atlanta penitentiary of Garvey, who, the statement declares was imprisoned By the government in an attack on Negro working class or- ganizations which must be protected.
