HARDEN CALLS
LENINE'S HAND
German Socialist Answers
~. 8oIshevik Leaders Speech
to Third InternationaIe.

Lenlne's address before the second
national forms the subject OF Maxi
milan Hardens editorial remarks in
Die Zukunft. He quotes only por-
ton OF the address which, he says, has
only so far appeared In hastily trans
lated and hardly comprehensive ex-
tracts. The whole Of this quoted por-
tion Is Allied with statements which, at
least require proof
'I.enne insists that the world was
ruled by a few capitalists and that
even the freest OF republics were slaves
to this rule. He says; Forty years
ago six capitalistic powers ruled $780,
100000 colonials. In 1914 this number
had increased to one billion The
great war was waged for the purpose
of determining which OF the great
power groups, the British group or the
German group, was to have the right
and the power TO rob the entire earth.
The British group won. quarter of
a billion Russians, Germans Austrians.
Hungarans, Bulgarans were reduced
to the condition Of colonials. The peace
threw these states into condition of
poverty through which no civilized
peoples had ever passed. In all coun-
tries the contrast between rich and
poor has been accumulated. Revolu-
tlonary feeling Increases. Old methods
fail. Parliamentary discussion, confer
ences, strikes, prove themselves futile.
Capital, private ownership, is sacred.
"Out OF this crisis only one road
leads to salvation; the confiscation of
. private property. The Injury OF the
few passes all bounds while the con-
diton of the many becomes more and
more unbearable. The mechanism of
capitalistic industry is breaking down.
Before the business politics of Clemen-
ceau and Lloyd George, Wilson'S ideal
Il l., Il
ter people are being legally robbed,
enslaved starved. Even in the richest
states the condition OF the laboring
classes Is almost unbearable. AS a
result of the war few have grown
rich, the remainder has sunk into a
state of terrible misery. Every day
OF this condition is the best agitation
. in favor of boshevism. The victorious
nations are fighting among themselves
as to the division OF the plumber. Yet
no one country is powerful enough
TO act alone without the military or
financial help of one of the others.
And the brilliant success of the COM
munistic international follows as a logi-
Veal result of this confusion. The action
of the bourgeoisie is like that of an
arrogant bandit who has lost his head
it commits one blunder after another,
maks its position even more difficult,
and hastens its own DOWNFALL
The remainder of this extract, as
quoted by Harden, deals with the plans
Of the soviet government for, its ad-
vance into non-c apitalistc lands whose
men have been taught by the allies
to use modern guns, and the necessity
now OF using these men against the
allies for the purpose Of overthrowine
the capitalistic states. There is also a
bitter denunciatlon Of the capitalistiC
powers who have given a certain por-
ton OF the laboring classes certain ele-
ments Of culture for the purpose of de-
ceiving them into the belief that the

REASON FOR RISE OF
RATE OF EXCHANGE

WASHINGTON, oct 22.-The rapid rise
Of the rate of exchange IN Argentina is
attributed by department OF commerce
officials to two causes. The first is
that in August American exports to Ar
Gentina exceeded imports from that
country for the first time in history
and the second is that the $1,000 600
surplus which Argentina had in New
York banks has been exhausted.
1t was explained that Argentine was
without funds in this country to pay
for the goods received from the United
States in excess of the imports received
from that country. The excess of ex-
ports over imports In August was APP
proximatcly 100000.
The financial situation in Argentina,
officials said, was further complicated
by reduction in the prices of the chief
goods exported by Argentina such as
wool beef and MheAt.
