Phe. leaders of the Unemployed Committee demanded a ooligezmermit for the march but % were*refised by the mayor, an Amertan business man called Earnshaw, and by the Police Chief, another American. The Ministers of Interior and Labor, the latter a Filip- ino bourgeois misleader, joined in this refusal,-and the Manila press joined in a concert of provocational, attacks on the proposed hunger action. The Herald had the hypocrisy to main- tain that “the unemployed here could live under a banana tree and reach up and get a living’, omitting to state that the Filipino and American land-| lords Imaye already acquired the ba- nana pintations in the islands, and run them on a basis of semi-feudal exploitation.

Some time later he was joined by the fascist chancellor of Germany and “Marxist-slayer,’ Adolf Hitler, who declared in a broadcast speech delivered on March 2nd: “Marxism in practice has proved to be the best refutation of Marx- ism in theory. I should like to see it where it has been 100 per cent, victorious, where it holds un- divided sway.” This would, in fact, be very useful! Such an examination would, it is true, yield quite different results from those announced to us by Hitler, the capitalist hireling and leader of the brown shirts. In his speech Hitler repeated all the old anti-Bolshevist lies that have been put into circu- lation during the past 15 years, but he was careful not to say a single word about the actual conditions ex- isting in the Soviet Union. Soviet Union, the periodical crises, the most frightful scourge of the under capitalism, have been finally and completely done engaging » and the! In the} away with. The Soviet Union is the} only country where there is no crisis. While the world’s industrial output has fallen by more than 40 per cent since 1929 and—taking into, account| the increased population—is 11 per cent below the pre-war level, the out- put of the census industry of the Soviet Union, , the most impor- tant industr has increased 334.5 per cent as compared with 1928, i. e., precisely in the period of the world economic crisis. While fascist Italy has fallen back from the sixth to the {seventh place in the industrial out- put of the world, the Soviet Union has overtaken the most advanced cap- italist countries (England, Germany, France) and has moved up from the fifth to the second place, immediate- ly behind the United States. In the} Soviet Union there are no idle fac- tories. In the course of the Five- Plan alone, 1300 new works set going. Including the newly- constructed works since 1925, the} number of new enterprises amounts to more than 2500. | In addition to abolishing crises, the | Soviet Union has also, finally done!| away with unemployment. It is not only the one country where there is/ no crisis, but it is also the only eee try without unemployment. It may be that there are tremendous diffi-| culties to overcome in the Soviet Union, it may be that people stand in queues outside of the —provision- ing shops, at the newspaper stalls and at the tramway stopping places, | but one will seek in vain for people queuing up outside the workshops| the labor exchanges in search of | “The five-year plan has complete- ly done away with unemployment”, says Comrade Norlow, the manager | of the Moscow Labor Exchange. | “In the year 1928, we still had 241,- | 765 unemployed in Moscow, but this figure rapidly declined with the realization of the great Plan.| At our Labor Exchange we felt the direct effect of the work of econo- mic construction. We no longer | | saw the familiar faces of expert | workers at the Labor Exchanges. | Instead of the city workers, there | s,;In the meantime there swept along by the mighty move- ment of construction. But these, too, became less and less. The applicants for work became fewer and fewer, At the beginning of 1930 we had only 45,5: unem- ployed, mainly unskilled workers, TM a few months they too were ab- sorbed in industry, and we had nothing more to do. ' In the sum-| mer, 1930, the Labor Exchange was | closed down, as it had become superfluous.” And the Labor Exchange clerks were without jobs? “Ob no, we had our hands abso- ying to satisfy the con- stantly growing demand for workers.! of the Labor Exchange we organized the pres- ent labor office for procuring labor for industry. Let us take any month you please, for instance, May, 1932. For Moscow alone 33,417 workers and employees were required, and all we could supply was 6619, The various works and factories were continually | telephoning us to send along, if not skilled, at least unskilled workers. | But from where were we to obtain) them? We could no longer just sit| in our offices; our clerks were obliged | themselves to travel to the various| villages and seek workers. We set) up offices at all the railway stations | and posted up placards calling for workers for industry.” But that was the case nine months ago, perhaps only six months ago. have been considerable changes! An order was issued according to which the staffs in the offices of the central admin- istrative authorities will be reduced. In some factories, too, the number of workers is to be decreased. The) | whole of the anti-Soviet press is now declaring that there are already again many unemployed in the Sov- iet Union; since they are not reg- istered, and do not receive any un-| employment benefit, their lot there- | fore is much worse than that of the) unemployed in the capitalist coun-| tries. Is there perhaps some truth in this? “If that were the case”, said | Comrade Norlow, “we shou'd have | 50,435 workers, but it was only | antry. for jobs. But the exact contrary is the case. Just see for yourself! The Labor Exchange regist furs nishes clear information on is point: in the months of December, 1932, and January, 1933, there was a demand at the Labor Exchange for pos sible to supply 40,529. To the short- age of 10,000 workers there was ad- ded in February, new demands for workers amounting in all to 128,612, including 16,400 lumbermen for the coal district situated near Moscow 8000 miners for the Don Basin, 26,000 workers for industrial enterprises in the Urals. Moscow's demands in- cluded 1000 workers and employee: for the central telegraph office workers for the “Krasnyi Bog (Red Hero) rubber shoe factory, 2000 workers for the Moscow Garment Manufacturing Trust ‘The Moscow Street Car Administration demanded in January, 3000 wor at the beginning of March onl had been sent . . . And that is the situation in the whole country. In fact, in those districts where big new construction work is being carried on there is a still greater shortage of workers. In Magnitogorsk last au- tumn, 35,000 workers were required, but only a few thousand could be obtained. Occasional reductions of the num- ber of workers and clerks in some works and -offices have noth common with the wholesale sals in the undertakings in talist countries. They mean nothing élse but a systematic regulation and distribution of the available labor power to those places where it is most needed. At a time when, in the capitalist world, there are 40 million unemploy- ed and the nurhber of those out-of- work is increasing every day, the a. Soviet Union has completely abolished * unemployment.

A sin that is unpardonable in the liberal eyes of the Professor. Dialectics A Mystery To Him Scholar though Professor Laski is, he is, nonetheless, not immune to ignorance of some of the Marxian fundamentals. That the dialectic method of Marx is a mystery to him is obvious frm the fact that he views as a marring contradiction in the Communist Manifesto the estimation | of the progressive function of capi- talism alongside of its reactionary He views: Marx as seeing the class struggle eye to eye with Madi- son and Guizot, with the only differ- | paths of sidetracking the class strug- gle, it was because they did not per- | ceive the conflict as irreconcilable, | while it is the irreconcilable charac- | ter of the conflict that Marx per- ceived and stressed and was led | thereby to the revolutionary road. Doesn't Want Marxism Here To understand fully the reason for the publication of Professor Laski’s | essay by the Socialist Party, we must | look at the thesis offered in conclu-) sion by the author. It is, that Marx- | ism is not adequate for America.

Laski —quite an excellent way of making amends for the unfortunate revolu- tionary tone of the Manifesto! One can, of course, not hold it against the Professor for being en- gaged by a Socialist Party that has forgotten its Marxism to be its “spetz” in an emergency situation in the theory of Socialism. For this reason it is not within the scope of the present article to enter into a polemic against the open anti-Marx- ism with which the essay is charged. It will suffice to characterize the essay in brief. Through the forum afforded him by the Socialist Party, Professor Laski tells the reader that Marx's teachings are in reality not contribu- tions but mere adaptations, cditings one might say, of the teachings of others—and this, not only in relation to economics but in regard to the teachings on the class struggle and socialism as well as to the materialist conception of history, It was not | Marx who developed the materialist ‘conception of history; Marx is pro- vided by Laski with predecessors, one of whom is—James Madison, a Pres- ident of the U. S. A.! Further, we are told, Marx’s theory of value is not deserving of discussion since “it has not stood the test of criticism; it is far from self-consistent.” As for the body of Marx’s teachings, the elements of Marxism are not depen- dent upon one another, which means necessarily being a materialist; one may call himself a Marxist without necessarily believing in the class struggle; one may both be and not be anything, all things and nothing. Moreover, Marxism is not scientific, it has no objectivity; it merely plays upon the sufferings of the oppressed as @ spiritual compensation.
