' Lenin’s outstanding revolutionary writings. It has long been a classic in its field. The first generation of Russian Bolsheviks, which includes many of the present Soviet leaders, | have been bro t up on this bril- liant exposition of the policies and tactics of the revolutionary Socialist | movemen uniqueness in Russian Marxist literature is due to the way it treats the role of the Party in the revolutionary struggle—a subject to which slight attention was paid up to that time. The subtitle, “Burning Q ns of Our Movement”, which ave to this brochure, indi- Lenin g ates how deeply he felt the need of calling attention to the problem of | organization. ‘What were these “burning ques- tiens” which Lenin, soon after his return from Siberian exile, posed and to which he gave answers, first in articles in the Iskra (“The Urgent ‘Tasks of Our Movement”, December, 1900; “Where to Begin?”, May, 1901) and finally developed in What Is to | Be Done?, published in March, 1902? Tdeologicaliy, Marxism has won a decisive victory over Populism which exercised hegemony among advanced Russian society and revolutionary in- telligentsia during the seventies and eighties. In his early writings Lenin himself carried on sharp polemics | against Populist and other utopian | perversions of Socialism, thereby contributing to the Marxist literary campaign designed to check their influence on the nascent revolution- ary workers’ movement, The Marxist movement at that time suffered, however, from two basic weaknesses. The first was the tendency prevalent in a section of the movement and characterized as Economism, which maintained that the economic struggles of the workers for the improvement of their imme- diate working and living conditions should be the chief preoccupation of the labor movement. The struggle against tsarism, the Economists pro- Posed to leave to the liberal bour- geoisie to whom they ascribed a mo- nopoly in that field. Lenin and other revolutionary Socialists could not but consider such a policy as a travesty on Marxism, as a complete break with the nature and aims of the rev- olutionary labor movement, the very essence of which, they held, was the struggle for power. Lenin goes ham- Andy Mellon's family. Borden's, be- sides selling a large part of America’s milk owns the Horton and Reid Ice Cream Co. Radio, movies, cereals, newsprint all controlled by large trusts. Laidler has done research | workers quite a service in collecting all this material. He has taken a great deal from the books of Labor Research Association: (“Labor and Coal”, “Labor and Textiles”, and with @ ery grudging note acknowledges part of this) from dozens of other sources and combines them in this against the tsarist government from that against the capitalist, and brands the pure and simple trade unionism of the Economists as thor- oughly reactionary and inimical to the interests of the workers. The second weakness which Lenin vigorously attacks in this study 1s the question of organization. He |raises this problem to the political importance it deserves and makes an impassioned appeal to scrap the ex- isting form of organization and build a theoretically sound party, revolu- tionary in purpose and national in scope. Although formally organized into a party a few years before (1898), the Marxist movement con- sisted of little more than small cir- cles, each carrying on a more or less independent existence and engaging in sporadic and planless activities. This loose aggregation of revolution- ists, carrying on their work in primi- tive, handicraft fashion, and depend- ing on the spontaneity of the mass- es, could not, according to Lenin, be- come the organizer and leader of the revolutionary struggles which were rapidly developing and which were involving larger and larger masses of workers. Only a centralized par- ty, working according to a carefully prepared’plan, with each member as- signed a specific task for which he ts to be held accountable, could suc- cessfully lead the Russian working class in the struggle against capital- ist exploitation and tsarist rule. Written thirty years ago, What Is to Be Done? still retains its freshness because of the revolutionary enthus- jasm which permeates its pages and the great lessons it has today for the workers in capitalist countries who would build their parties after the pattern fashioned by Lenin during Mer and tongs after all those who attempt to separate the struggle | | the formative period of the Bolshe- vik Party, of the huge trusts devouring the) smaller competitors and our mind | supplies the rest.

(By I. RB.) Moscow, Aug. 11, 1931. At the gate of the workers’ fac- ulty, “Pokrovski,” formerly the Mos- cow University, there is ‘a poster giv- ing particulars about the commence- ment of the new term. Whenever one passes the numerous other work- ers’ high schools, crowds of people are always to be seen. As in a dovecot, in the Céhtral Workers’ Training Institute there is a continual coming and going. Work- ers from all parts of the Soviet Union come here in order to acquire technical training, to study its meth- ods in order to increase their quali- fication. The letters sent out to those taking part in correspondence courses reach all parts of the Soviet Union, and thus enable hundreds and thousands to increase their knowl- edge. From the elementary school right up to the technical high school the exhortation is given: learn, learn; the Soviet worker must master the new technics, To catch up and pass the advanced capitalist countries in regard to technics and economy, to carry out the Five-Year Plan in four years— these tasks depend upon the solution of the problem of cadres of socialist industry. For the new, rapidly grow- ing industry cannot possibly carry on with the engineering and technical forces which were taken over from bourgeois Russia. At the workers’ faculty, factory workers of 17, 18 years and upwards study for a period of from 3 to 4 years, In each quarter there are 60 days devoted to theoretical and 20 days to practical, 1. e., factory, in- struction. The students receive a stipend of 45 roubles a month. All books and other material are sup- plied to them free.

Nowhere in the world is there such facilities for Jearning as here, But three years are a long time. The Five-Year Plan cannot wait. The experts are needed sooner. They cannot be supplied quickly enough. In the Central Institute for Work Qualification specialists for closely limited technical spheres are being trained with all the means of mod- ern methodology and technics, Here there are numerous laboratories with instruments from Germany and other technically advanced coun- tries, The big main hall shines with spotless cleanliness, light and ra- tional order. For every labor process the minimum necessary movements ‘and the minimum necessary con- sumption of energy have been cal- culated. Every worker student must Strive after this minimum. High above the model work benches and above the heads of the workers a bridge-like gallery spans the hall. From this eminence the instructors observe the disciplined work, They measure with an electro- mechanical apparatus the speed and exactitude of the work of each stu- dent. Words are replaced by bells and light signals; the commands are short and exact, Five hundred and eighteen new factories this year! To supply these with labor power is now one of the most pressing tasks. There is now no longer an automatic influx of ! labor power. One is forcibly reminded of it when one visits the Central Labor Ex- change in Moscow. The big building now stands desolate.

Hardly 20 per cent of the demand for workers can be satisfied. We enter one of the offices. Two young girls are at work on the card in- dexes. They pick out one or two cards at random and show them to us: 11 motor drivers required by the “Krassnj Proletari” concern on July 15th; up to Aug. 5 only 5 have been supplied; 11 fraisers wanted by such and such a factory, on July 10th one had been supplied. And so one could go on, That is how things are in Moscow; that is how things are in the prov- inces, not to speak of the remote parts of the Soviet Union. “Magnito- gorsk” has here at the Central La- bor Exchange in Moscow a special bureau for obtaining labor, as well as labor recruiting stations in all parts of the country. There is a shortage of labor power. Workers are needed. Not people ab- solutely ignorant of technics, but workers who understand the tech- nological processes, who know how to work with the latest machines. The liquidation of the lack of tech- nical skill of the broad masses of workers is one of the most pressing tasks, and it is being tackled by the whole of the Soviet public. At the beginning of August the new school of the first ball-bearing factory of the Soviet Union in Mos- cow was opened. In this school 2,000 young workers from 15 to 20 years of age are being trained. The factory is only being built; not one-third is ready yet, but it is being built at a tremendously rapid their homes. relief for the unemployed, and against wage cuts for those still in the shops!

Now there already stands the school house with the bright class rooms, the hall for showing cinematograph films, the well-equipped laboratories, the li- brary; here is the instrument fac- tory and alongside of it. the smiths shop is springing up out of the ground, For the main works, how- ever, the site has only been marked out. The architect of this com- binate, an enthusiast for his work, stands on the high wooden tower beside the red army sentry, the tele- phone and the alarm bell. He sur- veys the whole complex and sees there what nobody else is able to see: a magnificent ferro-concrete struc- ture, the main works which with the two other factories form an archi- tectural unity: “Sharikopodchipnik,” the largest ball-bearing factory in the world, This work needs new workers, “who feel themselves to be masters of pro- duction, who are consciously build- ing up Socialism.” Where are these new workers? They stand in front of the entrances of the new school, in variegated lively groups, in which languages and races intermix and unite. There they sit in close rows gathered for the opening ceremony There is silence. The head of the school opens the meeting. Here are the representatives of the Party, of the Young Communist League, of the Soviets, of the trade unions, of the workers’ collective of “Shari- kopodchipnik,” which has built the school with shock-brigade work, Speeches are made by the instruc- tors and teachers; the representa- tives of the pupils also speak. This pace and many foreign specialists small, sturdy young Communist who Fight for immediate | The successes of the third and de- cisive year of socialist construction in the Soviet Union have stimulated great interest and enthusiasm among | the working masses throughout the world.

It is with a view to the Soviet developments in general and its sport achievements in particular that @ group of New York worker sports- men have organized themselves to tour the U. S. S. R. and several other European countries. The initiative for the organization of this group was taken by a number of athletes of the Red Spark A. C. and these comrades are now working energe~ tically to draw in other athletes, in- dividual members of L. S. U: clubs, as well as sportsmen from opohent organizations. ‘The purpose of this delégation.is not only that which its name above implies.
