Bewarel THE PASSING OF DEBS With the passing of Debs many an honest worker belonging to or supporting the socialist _ party only because of Eugene V, Debs will be confronted with a crisis. What shalehe do? -Where shall he go? Debs himself could not answer that question satisfactorily. | But the younger generation of workers who admired and followed Debs should be able to find the answer. They will go to the movement whose heart pulsates with the same idealism that moved Debs to great doings in the best years ; CONTENTS KARL MARX-—Personal recollections by Paul La Fargue ..............

He was # warm champion of the International “Labor Defense, the movement for the protection of the foreign born and similar movements notwithstanding the official opposition of the socialist party, And by doing se Debs once more displayed the noblest and most valuable traits of his proletarian character, (Concluded in the next column) 1 of his life. The Communists will cherish the memory of Debs. They will keep green and alive in the souls of the growing generation of a fighters the beautiful image of a great and loyal workingman. And from the height of Eugene's achievements in the proletarian class struggle, the militant workers of America will reach out after wider perspectives, thus striv ing to realize the ideals of Debs under the banner of Leninism and under the saldance of the Communist International, ALEX PBITTELMAN.
