lat Of one country. 1t is the program
Of the liberation Of the proletariat of
all countries; 1t Is the program of
international revolution. The over
| throw of imperialist governments by
means of armed revolt Is the road to
the international dictatorship of the
working class" In these words, Bu-
charm, accredited and recognized boil
shevik propagandist, set forth the OBJ
| Ject of the communists at Moscow In
1918.
Lenine, in the same year, In Petro-
| grad, declared that the chief, task
which We set ouselves at the very
beginning of the war was to turn the
1mperialistic war into a civil war"
His aim was to force upon Russia
Communism, and to summon the dis
contented of the world to rise in rev.
olution against their governments. All
existing governments were vile, Ienine
said, and they must be overthrow.
Political action, parliamentary meth
DDS, peaceful voting, were worse than
useless. They were inventions of the
devil, Capitalism. Force must be
used; the workers must arm them
selves and fight; the world could not
come to the light of freedom and
justice except through blood. Lee

1t alone could cleanse the world and
make it decent place in which TO
live. He wrote the aim and object
OF bOlsheyism into the soviet cOnsti-
tuition when he defined the funda-
mental problem as being the victory
OF socialism in all lands" He bla-
zoned the war cry on the coat of arms
OF the bolshevik government in these
words: Workers of the World.

1t has been propaganda of hate. 1t

In the soil Of unrest. 1t has PLAYED
TO class feeling. 1t has appealed to
the lowest and worst in men. It has
written and spoken of the Great War"
as the enterprise of capital. 1t has
charged up the terrible shedding of
blood to capitalistic imperialism, If
has listed the ill-effects of the war and
charged them not to the war, but to
capitalism. 1t has pointed to the
poverty and the disorganization of the
world directly caused by the war
and attributed all of these unbanDv
results OF a four year struggle with
/ autocracy, not to the war but TO the
system of so-Called Bourgeois Govern.
