This Manifesto" has been sent all
over the world. It makes no bones
about the plan of the bolsheviks to
incite the world to disorder. On the
contrary. it boasts that this is its
mission. Under the caption "The Way
to Victory" the manifesto declares:
1.-THE revolutionary era compels the
proletariat to make use of the means
of battle which will concentrate its
entire energies, namely, mas action,
with its logical resultant, direct con-
fiict with the governmental machinery
In open combat. All other methods,
such as revolutionary use Of bour-
geois parliamentarism. will be of only
secondary significance"
The manifesto" further proclaims
the the "First International" foresaw
the future development and pointed
the way; the "Seccnd International"
gathered together and organized the
proletariat; the "Third International"
is the international of open mass &C.
ton of the revolution, the international
Of Deeds. The work of the "Third
International" is mapped out In the
Manifesto" in these words:
1.-THE task of the international com
mufst party is now to overthrow this
order (present governments) and to
erect in its place the structure of the
socialist worlds order. We urge the
working men and women of all cOun-
tries to unite under the communist
banner, the emblem under which the
first great victories have already been
Won.
"Psoletarians Of all lands! In the
war against imperialistic %barbarity.

state and bourgeois property, against
all forms and varieties of social and
national oppression-UNITE!
All Urged to Unite.

I have quoted these excerpts from
an edition Of the manifesto" printed

contains the name and address of the
printing company. There is an intro
duction to this document. 1t is I'M

PRODUCTION are important. Comment

tion says: at will soon become the
basis of international working class
action, and will become the lightning
that will rend the clouds and fogs
that now envelop the workers of the

Comment on this manifesto would

If the publication of this manifesto
and the Introductory comment to 1t
is not treason. then Benedict Arnold
was a patriot. It is a conspiracy
against the peace. health ad happi
ness. as we'll as the lives and property.

woman and child In the United States.
It is a call to lawlessness. organized
crime. It might be well for the peo-
pie to give less time and thought to

bar and made answer. Let us kill
this enace by destroying the seed.
If we do. We will save ourselves much

Lenine has repeatedly said and
written that the bolshevik government
cannot last in Russia alongside of the
| present governments of the world. In
other words. bolshevism cannot live
in a world Of democracy. The greater
truth is that democracy cannot live
In the same world with bOlshevfsm.
Bolshevism In theory is based on the
ideal Of socialism, communism; In
methods OF the bolshevism of Lenine is
gross violence. supreme autocracy.
