Page Four ~ RIGHT SOLUTION APPLIED IN CZECH PARTY PROBLEMS Work of Bolshevization Being Carried Out MOSCOW, June 5. (By Mail).-—To- day’s article by Gregory Zinoviev, President of the Communist Interna- tional, in Pravda, official organ of the Russian Communist Party, deals with the situation in the Czech Communist Party, and contains the following: “We can now say with cersainty that the plenum of the Comintern which has dealt with the Czech question with the greatest attention, has actu- ally succeeded in finding the right so- lution on the basis of which the Czech Party is rapidly recovering. “The basic problem of a Right dan- ger, and the fundamental question as to whether Bubnik represented an in- dividual case or a tendency, had to be answered. The Czech bourgeoisie and the Bubnik Group have answered this question unequivocally. It cannot be doubted that the anti-Comintern paper published by Bubnik has been created not so much by himself as by the Czech bourgeoisie and with the aid of its money, or that Bubnik is executing the orders of the bourgeoisie. Roucek and: Co. who have resigned from the Czech Party are undoubtedly the rey- resentatives of a considerable half social-democratic element still in the Party. “As ordered by the bourgeoisie, Bul- nik issues instructions to his adher- ents within the Party not to leave the Party but to reamin inside and to un- dermine it thru subterranean frac- tions. At the present moment it is not so much the liquidators of tho type of Bubnik, Roucek and Co. who are outside of the Party that are dan- gerous,—as those elements remaining within the organization with the con- scious aim of disrupting it from with- in.” The Bloc formed by the Plenum of the Comintern will undoubtedly real- ize the danger and carry the fight to a finish. It were a crime to leave the work half undone. The Central Com- mitte of the Czech Communist Party must carry out the will of the Czecho- slovakian workers to free the Party from liquidatory elements once and for all. The declaration contained in the resolution adopted by the Party Conference of the Slovakian districts at the end of May,—to the effect that the Bloc constituted by the Plenum of the Comintern !s made up of two sec- tions of the Czech Party, Is of an op- portunist nature; it is at its best polemic exageration, and at its wors! "'#ulrect political error which must be ecrrected. In order to really do away with the liquidatory danger, we must above all avoid all ultra-Left errors. We must express our satisfaction at “the fact that the comrades of the Cen- ter who took upon themselves ‘certain Obligations before the Comintern, bav: until now fulfilled these obligations, and we hope they will continue to do so. “We know that the Slovakian com- trades have often before been the sub- ject of unjust accusations and that they are loyal to the Comintern. It is therefore the more regretfull to see them committing a political error. Let us hope that this error will be quickly and painlessly corrected; ‘the Jatest reports seem to substantiate this hope. The Czech Party will How definitely be cleansed of the liquidators, and will be Bolshevised. “As to Bubnik & Co.,—they will un- doubtedly finish in miserable bank- yuptcy. The elimination of the liquid- ators will in no wise weaken the Party; on the contrary, it will bo strengthened thereby. The Central Committee must be supported in eve- ry way in carrying out the decissions adopted in Moscow. “Simultaneously with its work of cleansing the Party, the Gentral Com- mitieo should intensify its general pelittcal work, its agitational, organ- fzational and trade union activities, fn order to enable the Party, freed from the liquidators, to enhance its role of political leader of the entire werking ciass, and of a mass party.

No, 1, 1925.) iF dah’ doy SNenid Marxism, found. ed on’ the dialectic materialism of Marx and Engels, is the view of life held by the most advanced sections of the international proletariat, the view of life held by the revolutionary van- guard of this proletariat in its capac- ity of the most determined and most class conscious champion of social- ism. The new theoretical periodical ap- pearing under the above title aims at being a scientific fighting organ of revolutionary Marxism, and at gath- ering around it all those revolutionary forces which are repelled and revolted by that prostitution of Marxism now raising its head more insolently than ever, and by the present general disin- tegration of bourgeois science and philosophy. In the editor’s preface to the first number we read as follows: “The first number of our periodi- cal apears at a time when social- democratic ‘Marxism’ has already drawn the theoretical balance of its treachery. We see the ‘living Marx- | ism’ of social democracy emerge from our epoch of tempest upon the turbid waves of reawakened mysticism, of sickly philosophical idealism, subtle pornography, relig- ious mania, decadent ‘rat,’ apocalyp- tic mendacity, sexual saturnalias, and ‘sublime’ slogans. But this | ideological nullity, enveloped in the effluvia of a putrid corpse, still contrives to hobble forward on the crutches lent by delusions of the past. These crutches must be bro- ken; the wretched eclectic con- glomeration named ‘constructive so- cialism’ by such lamentable figures | WORKERS’ SCHOOL PREPARING FOR SUMMER COURSES Classes to-Begin in New York in August NEW YORK, June 30.—The two- weeks full time summer school, to be given under the auspices of the New York Workers School has just an- nounced its course of study. Three courses will be given as follows: Three Courses 1—Introductory Course of Marx-| ism-Leninism (2 hours of class work | and one hour of outside preparation each day.) 2—American Social, Political, and Economic History (1 hour of class | work and one hour of outside prepara- tion each day.) 3—Tasks of the party (1 hour of class work and one hour of outside preparation each day.) Class will run six days each week— with seven hours of class or prepara- tory work each day. Should Register at Once. The intensive study to be done will give each student the equivalent of three full-semester courses at the) Workers School evening courses. This, in conjunction with the sports| and outdoor activities which will be!| connected with the summer school should be one of the greatest induce-> ments for party, league and militant trade unionists to register for the course. The session will begin August 17th and conclude August 29th. The cost to each student will be a maximum of $15 per week for board and room. There is still time to register, All applicants should get in touch with Comrade O.

MacDonald and Bernstein (and Messrs Kautsky, Hilferding, and the others hanging to the coat tails of such as MacDonald and. Bernstein) must be opposed by true revolution- ary Marxism. This opposition, in its form of theoretical expression of Communism, arises.as a threatening giant before the confused and ter- rifled consciousness of the bour- geoisie and the social reformists.” HE new periodical is thus not mere- ly a weapon defending the legacies left us by Marx, Engels, and Lenin: it is to be at the same time a weapon of attack against every obscurantism, every priesthood, every philosophical idealism, and will declare war on all these, under whatever flag they may sail, This implies a threefold strug- gle: firstly, against that bourgeois sci- ence which serves for the glorification of imperfalism and the perpetuation of capitalist rule; secondly against the falsification of the scientific princi- ples of the revolutionary socialism based upon the logically inevitable class struggle of the proletariat, a falsification now being carried on by the “Marxists” of that international social patriotic league known as the II, International; thirdly against vac- cilation, imconsequence, and devia- tion from Marxist theory within our own ranks, the natural accompani- ment of the growth of the interna- tional Communist movement, the in- creasing acuteness of class antagon- isms, and the increasing complication of the problems to be solved. The task of cfriticsm thus placed in the foreground must be accompanied by the positive work of developing the Marxist view of life in the spirit | of Vladimir Iytsch Lenin, the most gifted follower of Marx and Engels. he Banner of A glance at the ae of the first number of the ne eriodical shows it to be fully conmpis of the above named tasks. It ains the follow- ing contributions: A PREFACE characterizing in suit- able terms the miserable “philos- ophy” and “scienée’j of the bour- geoisie, and especially of social de- mocracy, is followed by an essay from the pen of Lenin, pointing out in his own masterly manner the road of struggle for dialectic materialism and atheism. True to the train of thot developed in the preface, N. Bucharin contributes a theoretical essay on the question of the theory of accumula- tion and imperialism, in which he combats the false ‘conceptions of the economic bases and objective driving forces of imperialist development still cropping up here atid there in our own ranks, at the basis’ of a criticism of Rosa Luxemburg’s theory of accumu- lation. A. Deborin céntributes an ar- ticle on “The last wisdom of revis- ionism,” showing the’ complete col- lapse of German ‘social democratic “philosophy” as preached by such ideological parasites of the working class as Max Adler, Albert Kranold, and the Philistine clique of literates using the Sozialististhe Monatshefte as a means for the spread of the new tidings of salvation; “socialization of religion” and “social catholicism.” A somewhat longer essay by V, Jurinetz on “Psychology and Marxism” shows that today bourgeois science is de- voting particularly zealous effort to the counter-revolutionary exploitation of even such departments of science as appear at a first glance to be far removed from the sphere of politics, Jurintez’ article illuminates the dan- gers to which materialism is exposed by an uncritical acceptance of Freud’s This development is one of the first premises for the further victorious ad- vance of the international working Philadelphia Picnic | on the Fourth Would Tempt Most Anybody PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 30.— Saturday, July fourth, the Philadel- phia communists, sympathizers with their friends and families will all go to the Great Defense Outing in Burn- holme Park.

Philadelphia District Unanimously Passes Gitlow Resolution PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 30.— The following resolution was unani- mously passed by the Philadelphia district, No. 8, of the Workers (Com- munist) Party of America, with. re- gard to the Labor Defense Conference held in Chicago and the defense of Benjamin Gitlow: Whereas, the U. 8, supreme court has decided that our Comrade Gitlow must serve the remainder of his ten years term for his part in issuing the famous left wing manifesto of 1919; and Whereas, Comrade Gitlow was one of the first pioners of the Communist movement in this country and has for the last six years held aloft the red banner of Communism in America, devoting himself unflinchingly to the cause of the Communist International; be it therefore Resolved, that the District Execu- tive Committee of the Workers Party of District No. 3, at the regular meet- ing held June 21st, 1925, unanimously congratulates Comrade Gitlow for his Jetermined struggle for the exploited nakses and offer our support and our pledge to do everything in our power for Comrade Gitlow’s freedom, so that he may continue his splendid activi- ties toward building the Workers Party of America into a genuine mass Communist Party; and be it further Resolved, that we call upon all party members of this district and upon the workers in general to express their solidarity with Comrade Gitlow and to demand that this courageous fighter against the capitalist g@¥stem of ex- ploitation be freed; and it further Resolved, that this lution be sent to the C.

Rjasanov for two contributions of ex- \Marxism” traordinary importance, The present number contains two contributions by Rjasanov, one treating of Engel’s fa- mous introduction to Marx's “Class struggles in France,” and at last giv- ing us Engel’s preface in its original and unfalsified form. The falsifica- tion of the real wording of Engel’s introduction, a falsification necessary to Bernstein and his collaborators as a cloak for their revisionism and re- formism, is here finally exposed by the complete reproduction of the real or- iginal text of the preface. D. Rjas- anov’s second contribution contains the complete text of a hitherto unpub- lished article by Marx on wages. The manuscript dates from the year 1947, and is closely related to the essays published by Marx on “Wage labor and capital.” This manuscript affords valuable aid to the formation of a judgment on the trains of economic thot which later found their classic expression in “Capital.” In connection with these two con- tributions, we draw the special atten- tion of the readers of this new period- ical to M. Jablonsky’s discussion of the “Karl Marx and Frederich Engels Archives” edited by Rjasanov. To all real Marxists the publication of these archives is in fact an event of para- mount importance, for it supplies a number of unpublished essays, frag- ments, and letters, whose immense importance cannot be too highly esti- mated. HE first number contains, besides all this, two comprehensive and competenity compiled collective re- ports on Russian Marxist literature on the Kant jubilee and on Marxist peri- odical literature on Einstein's theory of relativity. The second number will appear at the beginning of May, and will include the following contributions: the con- tinuation of N.

MINNEAPOLIS ON JULY FOURTH Will Have Speeches on Anti-Imperialism MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 30.— While the capitalists:have called upon the workers to conyerge July the 4th for defense purposes, the class con- scious workers’ of Minneapolis are going to*celebrate ‘July 4th in their own revolutionary manner. The Work- ers Party has arranged a gala picnic for that day. It will be held at’33rd Ave. south, and East River road. This is an ideal place for an outing amid tall and stately elms; and the silver glint of the majestic Mississippi where the cool bréezes intermingle with the shadows of the forest, the following program will unfold itself, to the joy and delight of the rebels. There will be entrancing music. Speakers who will arouse your en- thusiasm, (but not too'many). Games: both for old sand young. And a line of refreshments that will tickle your palet, and make you glad that you posses such a thing as a stomach. This is the only picnic where class conscious workers can come together to celebrate, revolution. This is an opportunity for the comrades in the Twin-Cities to spend a day together in frank and happy communion. We'll see you there comrades! Ruthenberg Picnic at Kansas City, Mo. ‘Draws Big Crowds By HUGH LEHLER. KANSAS CITY, June 30, — The friends of Soviet Russia turned out Sunday to hear C. E, Ruthenberg speak on the contiast between the Soviet Republics and capitalist Amer- ica, At the picnic were comrades from nearby towns, comrades from Topeka, St. Louis, Mo., and a group of from Pittsburg, Kan., that helped swell the crowd of those who heard our secretary give a most in- spiring mental piejure of progress that taking place inj the workers’ re- public while capitaljst Europe is be- coming worse.

We believe that these brief indica- tions of the contents of the first two numbers will be sufficient to show the importance of this new periodical in its capacity of leading theoretical organ of revolutionary Marxism. We have no doubt whatever that the periodical will speedily succeed in be- coming the target of the angriest attacks of narrow bourgeois science and of all falsifiers 6f Marx, and in becoming with this the friend and guide of all true adherents of the teachings.of Marx, Engi and Len- in, aiding the still backward workers to rid themselves of their last illus- jons to overcome their weakness and discouragement, and to go forward under the leadership of their Marxist vanguard towards that dialectic mater- jalism which forms the view of life upon which a, free humanity will cre- ate real cultural values. Let the lap- dogs of the bourgeoisie—to use Len- in’s words—the social-democratic Bar- mat heroes and the new catholics, whine and howl about. social revolu- tion; let them combine with capital and the church to mobilize all the forces of religious darkness and idealistic mysticism against us, we shall pursue our way undeviatingly thru the vapors of decomposing bour- geois ideology, and shall gather the advanced workers around the banner of controversial materialism and athe- ism.

This being in the capitalist course of things, no one questinoed the system. But once we docked at Leningrad we were in charge of the Soviets and these barriers seemed to dissolve. There was no weary waiting for third class passngers until all the upper classes were taken care of. First and third class were called for indiscriminately. to about ten, a group of fat, well fed+ German business men were stilb wait- ing. Let no one assume that Leningrad an accomplished Utopia. ~The amount of reconstruction work to be done is almost staggering—work which will be merely catching up on ordinary repairs and bringing the city to a livable state of order and sanita- tion. is Are Solving Problems But when you recall that after al- most eight years of warfare and one year of famine, there has been but two years in which to really re-build the city, and that just last September Leningrad suffered a severe flood which caused a property loss alone of eight million roubles, you find a new meaning in the well swept, tho badly worn sidewalks, the orderly piles of brick salvaged from many very old buildings and now used to erect new dwellings for workers; in the great piles of buolders assembled for street repair work; in the tre- mendous amount of water and sewer pipes being laid. You notice that no money has been expended to cut the grass or trim the shrubbery in the parks tho new rude, unpainted benches have been pro- vided for, folks to sit upon. Workers Bow To No One The problem of unemployment here has not yet been solved. But here this fact is not regarded as an essen tial of the system nor, is b used to break down wage standards. It is faced as an element which must be and will be eliminated as the industry of the country expands. We are stopping at a Soviet hotel; all the big hotels are under Soviet management. The service is not a whit different from that in any Euro- pean city excepting in the lack of servility on the part of maids and waiters.

NEW YORK CITY,—“Say, Comrade; where are you going?” “I am going up to the library to do some reading.” “Public. library? “No, Where do you get that stuff? I'm going up to the Bronx Workers’ Library, 1347 Boston road—our own library—we built it, we contributed to it, we donated our money and our books to it, and its ours—all ours, Gee, but it feels good to have a nice library of your own—hundreds and hundreds of books lined up on the shelves—a big room, nice large tables, covered with brown cloth; open win- dows with summer breezes floating in; obliging comrades in charge to help you find what you want and sug- gest what to read; the proper silence for concentration—and outside in the main hall comrades everywhere to greet you and talk to you. Gee, put its good to have a home of our own, over and see for yourself. And what's more, comrade, everybody ih the Bronx is enthusiastic about the library; is bringing in books and do- nations and doing his level best to make it go. You know what happened at the Bronx English branch last meeting? In the/first place, let me say that Bronx English branch is not the largest branch; it only has about 80 members. Well, at the last meet- ing, after the library committee gave a report and showed what good work was being done for the library, and how everybody was enthusiastic about it, etc. etc. one of the comrades, and he is not a milllonaire—not by a Jong shot—ups and pledges $25, if 25 other comrades will each give a dollar. Well, the branch raised that extra $25 mighty quick, and the re- sult—$50 with which to buy more furniture and pictures and shelves and things for the library. Now, I guess all the other branches will be doing likewise. Well, comrade, I really must run along. Meet me at the Bronx library any night during the week. There’s no better place I can think of to @pend a pleasant hour or two.” Se eeas isi SI cle ene OTT Ce MONTANA EARTHQUAKE BLOCKED TRAINS, SHOOK HOUSES; NONE HURT BUTTE, Mont., June 30.—Fear continued today to grip residents of Montana as a result of the widespread convulsions of mother earth. By a great miracle not a life was lost during the series of earthquakes but the populations of cities and towns became panic-stricken as the oscil- lating waves caused a rumbling and shaking over the entire state and were felt in Idaho, Wyoming and Wash-+ ington. Shifting along a main fault under the Rocky Mountains near the Mis- souri river started the earthquakes that rocked Montana from end to end, according to the belief of geologists. Greatest panic following the quakes was felt by passengers on Northern Pacific and Chicago, Milwaukee and 3t. Paul thru trains. Three trains vere blocked by landslides with the -racks ahead and behind piled high with rock and debris, Reports today, however, indicate | that none suffered injury and the |hundreds of travelers walked to safety. Geologists who located the center of the disturbance area predicted to- day that the lower rock strata has settled itself on an even keel and that it will be many. years before another fault can occur.
