ut would be an eXaggeration TO say
that he has succeeded in inculcating
in the minds of those around him
that elevated spirit of self-denisl. Far
from that. AS late as in the month Of
November, 1918, no less person than
his right-hand man, VI. Peters, AT
whose orders hundreds had been put
to death, was tried for blackmailing,
not TO speak of dozens of others who
were tried and shot for the same thing.
But the executions have somehow
failed TO be an effective deterrent, ard
1t Is secret TO nobody that the liz
traordinary Commission, with its num-
berless ramifications spread all over
the country, has become a place where
blackmail, extortion and acts of per-
sonal vengeance are being practised on
an unheard of scale Even the most
cnraged Communists, while speaking of
the commission, cannot help a grimscs
of disgust, twitching their lips.
''All the spies, informers and agents
provocateurs of the old regime and an
the pickpockets and murderers OF the
new era seem to have found shelter IN
the lap of that hospitable organization.
Scum of society and 'wasps' nest are
about the gentlest nicknames by which
those guardian angels of the Bolsheviss

without them. as everybody knows
Trotzky's temple of happiness would
have crumbled into dust a long time
ago. They are indispensable for the
Communistic virtues to prosper.

w 7HEN the Soviet form of
wv government came into
being with Bolshevism in

Russia it was believed
that this novel conception Of gov
ernment was distinctly Russian in
scope and in social philosophy, but
in time reports filtered through to
the United States that Nikolai Le-
nine, the Bolshevist Premier, had
often attributed the inception of the
Soviet idea to the writings of an
American Socialist, one Daniel De
Leon.
These reports, however, were so
vague that even local radicals and
Socialists gave them little attention
and less credence. But an interview
with Lenine, published in "The New
York World" on February 3, set at
rest any doubts as to the accuracy
Of these reports. The interview
with Lenine was secured by Robert
Minor, an American cartoonist, and
was sold by him to Arno Dosch-
Fleurot, "The Worlds" correspond
ent at Berlin.
The interview was printed in
three instalments. In one Of them,
while they are discussing American
technical achievements for which
Lenine admits a profound admira-
ton, nenine says to Minor:
"America is a great country,
great in technical achievements.
Marvellous developments are posi-
tle there. The American, Daniel
De Leon, first formulated the idea
of a Soviet government, which grew
up on his idea. Future society will
be organized along Soviet lines.
There will be Soviet rather than
geographical boundaries for nations.
Industrial unionism is the basic
thing. That is what we are build
ing"
It is this statement that Attorney
General Charles D. Newton, counsel
to the Lusk committee, probably had
reference to when he said that "tes-
timony given the committee, which
was supported by documentary
proof, indicated that Daniel De
Leon, an American, was the father
of the Soviet form Of government"
and that mo less an authority than
Nikolai Lenine, who, with Leon
Trotzky, directs the affairs of dis
mantled Russia, has stated this fact"
4 South american
Who was Daniel De Leon? What
are his writings? What part did he
play in the radical movement of
America?
Daniel De Leon was born Decem-
ber IA, 1852, on the island Of Gu
racao, off the coast of Venezuela;
so he was an American only
in the strictest sense of the word.
He came of an aristocratic Spanish
family. His father, Solon De Leon,
was a physician and wealthy land
owner. AS a child De Leon is said
to have been brought up in keeping
with the traditions and customs of
the South American, feudal aristoc-
racy.
At twelve years of age he was
sent to Europe to round out his
education. He went to the school in
Hildesheim, Germany, and was later
transferred to the University at
Leyden. Spanish was his mother
tongue, but it is said that he be-
came a skilful linguist, speaking

Sokoloff says:

pulled the wires and put into action

present Socialist party, were dis
satisfied with the tactics employed
In political campaigns. The then
Let's believed in the ballot as a
means of change, and the then
Rights believed that the ballot
was insufficient without industrial
power behind it. The result was
split, and the Left faction formed
the present Socialist party.
De Leon, however. stood with the
Socialist Labor party and soon be-
came its leader. When in 1905 the
Industrial Workers Of the World
was founded, Qe Leon was a lead
ing delegate at the convention and
helped draw up its preamble. At
the fourth convention of the I. w.
w., in 1908, an anarchist element
seized control of the convention and
struck from the preamble the clause
favoring political action.
4 Socialist Editor
He became editor Of the "Weekly
People," the organ Of the Socialist
Labor party, wrote editorials, books,
pamphlets and debated all over the
country on the question Of social
ism. He attended the interna-
tional Socialist conventions in Eu-
rope as the Socialist Labor party
delegate and was the bitter op-
ponent of Morris Hillquit, the rec
ognized leader of the Socialist
party. De Leon died May II, 1914,
and with him the Socialist Labor
party.
For although this party is still in
existence, it has only some $500
members and polled about 10000
votes in the 1915 Presidential cleo
tions.
In a pamphlet, "The Socialist Re-
construction of Society,"" which re-
cords in substance a speech made by
De Leon in 1905 explaining the pre-
amble to the original I. w. w. or
ganization, which broke up in 1908,
De Leon explains the preamble of
the programme of that group in de-
tail, and the group itself.
"The shops" continues De Leon,
"the yards, the mills-in short, the
mechanical establishments of pro-
duction now in the hands of the cap
ltalist class-they are all to be
'taken,' not for the purpose of being
destroyed, but for the purpose of
being held; for the purpose of inn
proving and charging all the good
that is latent in them, and chat cap
italisnl dwarfs-in short, they are
to be taken and held in order to
save them for civilization. 1t is ex-
actly the reverse with the political
power This is to be taken for the
purpose Of abolishing it.
SIT follows herefrom that the goal
Of the political movement of labor is
purely instructive. Suppose that at
some election the class-conscious DO.
litical arm Of labor were to sweep
the field; suppose the sweeping were
done in such a landslide fashion that
the capitalist election officials are
themselves SO completely swept off
their base that they couldn't if they
would count US out; suppose that
from the President down to Con.
gress and the rest of the political
redoubts Of the capitalist politica
robber burg, our candidates were
installed-suppose that, what woulc
there be for them to do? What
should there be for them to do?
Simply to adjourn themselves or
the spot sine die"
De Leon goes on to say that ir
such case the gaining Of control b,
the Socialists would be valueless il
they were not industrially organ
lied.

Not Too Brilliant

"He did not cut too brilliant a fR-
urc in the ranks of the party Peo-
pie who know him personally ara
rather doubtful of his political gifts
and even 60 so far as to deny him
any considerable amount of theoreti-
cal knowledge. He has spent SO much
of his time in prisons and the mines
of Siberia that he had but few
chances of wandering through the
mazes of the Marxist doctrine to some
practical purpose. However, from
those incidental excursions to the
fields of learning he has obtained three
fundamental truths to be treasured
up in his mind to the end of his days;
first, that there is such q thing 10
class struggle; second, that class
struggle means class war; and third,
that class war means extermination.
And as to the methods OF that ex-
termination, he had them from hs
Siberian jailers, who knew to perfec-
ton everything connected with the
subject.
"The general effect Of these methods
was often eclipsed if not totally ex-
tinguished by the deplorabe custom
of bribery, which would be, of course,
utterly out of place in such an in.ti-
tuition as the Extraordinary Commits
sion. nzerjinsky is free from that
weakness. He is an honest jailer. He
can never be bribed, or assuaged, or
talked round, or aduiated into leni-
ence. Torquemada himself might have
envied those stern eyes, burning with
fanatical hatred, those thin, ascetic,
bloodless lips, that pale brow, thos,
resourceful brains, enhancing the
scourge of cruelty by the scourge Of
honesty. If the temple Of universal
happiness is to be cemented by blood
and erected on an enormous pyramid
Of mutilated corpses, then, indeed,
Dzerjinsky is the only man to be en-
trusted with laying out its foundation.
