QUESTIONS ANSWERED

An answer 10 the question whether
the DroletarIat is degeueratiDg OF not
depends upon whether one proceeds
upon the theory that at least the ma
jority Of the prolctariat must be
above the minimum of mental stand
ard necessary Tor emancipation. or not.
MajoritieS never did anything in social
movements; the proletariat viii be no
exception a larger number oI pro-
lctarians are becoming submerged.
From this II would seem that the pro-
letariat rs degcnerating- II is not.
A larger number OF the swelling pro-
letarian army is rising above the min
Snum mental standard necessary for
emancipation. This portion OF the
proletarioat Is minority OF their class.
That minority is CROWN in numerical
strength. II will cast the die. and
pull its class along-the hoodlums, Of
course, excepted. Thus the proleta-
rlat Is not generating.

No matter how plain and simple a
