Thereupon Comrade Serrati takes the
floor, and says that the Italian Socialist
Party strives for Tue accomplishment of a
world revolution. I'VE are procuring" says
Comrade Serrati, The overthrow of the
bourgeoise, who ale responsible for the
war. We will procure this with the aid of
the proetariat, and with the aid of those
resources which the Aproletariat has at its
command. All those who are capable of car
rying on revolutionary struggles fer our
common aims should be admitted to the
Communist International. Who, then, is cap
able of carrying on this struggle?" Analysing
the political situationEof individual countries
Comrade Serrati does mot find ground for re-
volution in France, and adds that for this
very reason the French Socialist Party should
not be admitted to the International. "We OBJ
serve just opposite conditions in Germany"
says Comrade Serrati, where the revolution
is already an actual fact. The Party Of In
dependents in Germany therefore should be
included in the memb bership of the III Inter-
national"

periencing distressing economic difficulties
and a decline of the powers of the State. Dis
content is growing every day among the
workers and peasantry A revolution in Italy
is inevitable and we shall accomplish it. So
far as the opportunist elements Of our party
are concerned, of course, there can be no dis

And in this sense we would ask to be allowed
to take advantage of the most favorable
moment we may find to do this with the
maximum utility for the cause of the revo-

Comrade Seratti dwells i'm detail on the
activities of certain Italian opportunists and
shows that they are after all of much bene-

STATEMENT OF COMRADE LENIN.
The floor is taken by Comrade Lenin who
goes into detailed analysis of the speech of
the Independent Crispien. Comrade Lenin
says that the speech of Crispien is valuable
document, setting forth as it Goes the posi-
tion of the right wing of the Independents in
Germany. He also remarks that the view of
Crispien on the dictatorship of the proletariat
Identifies him in the closest manner with
Kautsky. Similarly it is not accidental that
Crispien maintains complete silence about the

workers must hold.
The present leaders must be ousted.
Compromising when facing a fight,
surrendering every demand if it
means a struggle, betraying the
workers and selling them out through
bribery, flattery or the offer of po-
sition, the leaders stand between the
workers and their emancipation: the
leaders aid the capitalists and the
government in keeping the working
class in subjection.
The role Of the government is
clear: the State, once regarded as
the neutral to keep the balance be-

whose agent it is, using every means
to suppress the workers.
The capitalist system is unable to
function.

The capitalist government has no
solution for this problem. Unem-

Among the pleasant features of the
dedicatory and conference meetings

as Mrs. Ostling's parental home is at
Willmar, but Rev. Osterholm had not
been here since he left the pastorate
more than twenty years ago. He is
now the superintendent of the Swed-

And like beacon guards thee, dear
