Tita’ devotion ‘to thé Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is n inseparable attribute of a Bol- shevik, nobody will deny. But am at- tribute is not the substance of a thing. The substance of Bolshevism had existed prior to the very forma- tion of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Besides, one may be a devoted friend of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics not necessarily sharing the doctrines of Bolshevism. There are other comrades, who locate the essence of Bolshevism in the centralized form of a Bolshevist party mechanism and in strict party MILWAUKEE CELEBRATES THE EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF BOLSHEVIK VICTORY On ane MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 16.—An enthusiastic meeting of several hun- dred workers celebrated the eighth anniversary of the Russian revolution in Milwaukee last Sunday evening. The audience was thoroly proletarian in character and viewed the celebration as an inspiration for the struggle against American imperialism. The program was opened by the singing of the International by the Freiheit Singing Society, which has developed into one of the best choirs in the city. : Comrade G. S.

Still other comrades define Bolshev- ism as a capability of application of | past revolutionary experience to pre- |sent conditions. But even this con- ception is hardly satisfactory. Cap- | ability can be required from a leader, | mot from each and every Bolshevik. {It is, in general, impossible to in- jocculate somebody with capabilities. |They are inborn, not acquired by conviction or revolutionary ardor. | Besides, no Bolshevik claims infall- jability in the appreciation of a situa- |tion. As a human being, the most il- }lustrious Bolshevik has his limita- tions, and is not, consequently, im- mune against errors in the applica- tion of past revolutionary experience to a new situation. What are really the essential traits | of a Bolshevik? It goes without saying that a Bol-| shevik adheres to Marxian teachings and acts accordingly. Unlike the men- who contents talking revolution, class struggle, etc., a Bolshevik strives to materialize these precepts of Marx, Engels and Lenin. In the second place a Bolshevik is always with the masses, participating in theif everyday struggles. The Bol- sheviki ultimately triumphed in Rus- shevik, himself with The second issue of the living newspaper “published” by the work- er correspondents of the Novy Mir, will be out next Saturday, Nov, 21, at 8 p, m., at the Workers’ House, 1902 W.

The tremendous in- fluence exhibited by the British Com- munists at Scarborough was gained by having had penetrated the workers’ organizations. Thirdly, a Bolshevik while penetrat- ing the thick of the masses, does not, nevertheless, level himself down to their standard. On the contrary, he goes to the masses with the purpose to elevate them up to his own revo- lutionary standard. While participat- ing in the daily struggles of the work- ing class, he does not fail to inject into them revolutionary issues. For—and this is another character- istic of a Bolshevik—a Bolshevik thinks only in terms of the prole- tarian revolution. He does not let him- self to be swayed from his path of ac- tivity by any consideration of bour- igeois democracy, comfort, kinship, career and the like. And the last—but least—characteristic of a Bolshevik is action. An inactive Bolshevik is a misnomer.

He then appealed to the assembled workers to be more active in the par- ty and carry on educational work among the masses.

He also spoke of the revolutionary situation in England, Europe and the colonial countries, citing the move- ment for world trade union unity, and other manifestations of growing class consciousness of the workers of the world.

The general discussion revealed that the City Central Committee of Newark had entirely misunderstood the nature of reorganization and had planned to reorganize the whole dis- trict into one big international branch, the only change would therefore have been the partial removaY of federa- tion lines, but the territorial basis would have been kept. Comrade Wolfe entered into this matter in de- tail and showed that the big factories in and around Newark made it an ideal industrial region for shop nuc- $2.50 every three months, paid by the shop nucleus. Party Training Course. The party training course consists of three courses; Marxism and Lenin- ism — Party History and Problems — Our Work in the Trade Unions, Brief outline of each course is given below: Marxism and Leninism, Part |. Marxism. This course will deal with the origin and the philoso- phical and economic aspects of Marx- ism. How Marx out of utopian social- ism, metaphysical materialism and Hegelian dialeties welded a scientific basis for socialism, his participation in the revolution! of 1848 and the les- sons he derived therefrom, his activi- ties in the first international and his conflicts with the anarchists and La- Sallean social-democrats, the funda- mental economic concepts of Marxism leading up to the accumulation of cap- ital as a basis for understanding mo- nopoly and imperialism, the revision- ist and opportunist attacks on, and distortion of Marxism, and finally, a study of “Lenin-as a Marxist,” in which the roots of present day Com- munist theory and practice will be shown to be imbedded in Marxism— these are the basic elements of the course. Part Il, Leninism. Following dir- ectly from oe study of “Lenin as a was then rejected by the speakers who had sponsored it. To Intensify Activity. In the name of the District Execu- itve Committee of District No. 2, Comrade Wolfe described the plans being laid for intensifying the activi- ties of the Newark section by creating | a sub-district there, by the District Executive Committee's paying more attention to this sub-committee, by sending special comrades from time to time, and drawing in comrades from Newark to observe the higher party units in New York City. | The next general membership meet- ing of Newark will take place some time in December. A more complete mobilization of the membership will be sought for and registrations will be taken and shop nuclei and working area sections will be formed at that meeting. When that meeting is called, it is imperative that every member of the party in Newark (there are about 200) be present if they do not want to run the danger of losing — their party membership and being lost to the party. Special plans were sug- gested for a more complete mobiliza- tion at that meeting, gether in one room and were con- fronted with a society, led by the vice-police-president, Hetenyi... They declared that this was the British mission, The gentlemen entered the room and before the open door stood detectives and policemen, whose fists, sticks and rubber clubs the prisoners knew already. The vice- police-president pointed to the prison- ers with a great move and said: ‘None of you has been maltreated, isn’t it so? None of you has been beaten, isn’t it so? If anything has happened to afiybody, he should say so now.’ “None of the arrested moved. With a fixed glance they looked at the door where the detectives and policemen were standing. The society looked for a moment at the sad figures and then left them with a kind good-bye. To these witnessess the police refer now and asks them to state that the prisoners have not been maltreated.” Bourgeois Paper Confirms Story. The bourgeois organ Vilag. also confirms that the prisoners are being tortured. The minister of the interior is suing the paper for libel. nn THE FROM THE 380 THRU Ail CONVENTION By C. E. Ruthenberg.

This course will seek to familiarize the membership with the origins of the Communist movement; its social- ist background; the left wing strug- gles in the socialist movement, which are the roots of the ideology prevail- ing in the American, moyement, It will deal with the various groupings which existed within the movement; their contributions toward the move- ment and how they affect party atti- tude today; the ideological struggles and the causes for them, such as, the split in the left wing, the struggle between the C. P. and C. L, P.—the Cc. P. and U. C, P. the Workers’ Coun- cil group and the Communist Party and struggles to date—treating these struggles from the Marxist-Leninist andpoint. The course will aim to show the development, of the party toward a Bolshevist Party and will treat of the obstacles leading toward it and how to overcome them. In each period of the party history, the problems will be taken up and discussed from the viewpoint of the Communist International. Effort will be made to relate the Communist In- ternational viewpoint at the various congresses with the party attitude toward such problems as the party or- ganizational structure and the federa- tion, the legal and illegal organiza- tion; the united front and labor par- ty; trade union work; agrarian and Negro work and imperialism, No one can understand the task of bolsheviza« tion of our party without a knowledge of the party history and problems.
