Alfred N. Goldsmith, chief broad

worth reading through. His ten
commandments are:
Don't try to hear Australia In

the nearer stations most of the

Don't be disappointed IL an coca.

II you want louder signals. use
a. longer aerial, more tubes, higher
plate voltage, more sensitive loud
speakers and more careful ticker
and receiver adjustment.
Don't Disturb Neighbors.
A pleasant signal filling a mod.
crate sized room should be enough
10 give satisfaction. 1t is not
worth while producing signals
Wnlch deafen the neighbors. 1t Is
wasteful to insist on tremendous
signals which are generally less
Pheasant than moderate signals.

ASK your radio dealer for ad

its use.
Do not throw away the direction

all such material carefully nov

direction sheets write to the dealer
or manufacturer for another. The
direction sheets answer most OF the
questions which have been pudding

foundation" Lenin said to me once.
1t is not difficult to imagine what a
contrast Vera Ivanovna, with her
vague radicalism and SUFFICIENTLY,
with her slovenliness, made in compar-
ison to Lenin. 1t is not that there was
no sympathy between them, but there
was a sense of difference, of natural
incompatibility. But she, as a fine
psychologist, felt the power of Lenin,
not without certain subtle hostility,
even in those days. 1t was this that
she expressed in her phrase about his

THE MAKING OF LENIN

in such a literary method a bit of
"ego-centricity, but in reality the
emphasis in his articles, even those
that were not signed, was a way of
fixing his own line of thinking, be-
cause of his uncertainty about a line
taken by his close collaborators.
LERE there is before us on small
/ scale that steady, persistent ten
sion towards goal which breaks
down all conditions, which stops be-
fore no formalities, and which is the
fundamental characteristic of Lenin,
the leader.
THE political pilot of the Spark"
was Lenin, but the main publicist
strength was Martov. He wrote cas-
lily and endlessly in the same way as
he talked. Lenin, on the other hand,
Spent much time in the library of the
British Museum where he pursued
theoretical studies.
CEVERAL months later, already in
- the weeks preceding the second
convention, there burst forth an edi-
torial difference between Lenin and
Martov on the question of the tao
tics of street demonstrations, more
accurately about conflicts with the
police. Lenin said:
at is necessary to form small armed
groups, and it is necessary to teach
fighting workmen to combat the po-
lice"
But Martov was against this. The
! controversy was taken up by the edi-
torial staff. "Will not something like
group terror grow out of this?"
said about Lenin's proposal. 1t should
be recalled that at that period the
struggle against the terrorist tactics
of the Socialist-Revolutionis played
big part in our work.
l SELDOM came across Lenin and
! Martov engaged in a private con-
versation, outside of meetings and
conference. Lenin disliked even then
long arguments, vague conversations
which always turned into gossip and
twaddle. This greatest engineer of
revolution, not only in politics, but
also in his theoretical labors, and of
foreign languages, as well as in his
conversation with people, was unfail-
ingly possessed of the same idea
his nature was perhaps the most
utilitarian which the laboratory of
history ever produced.
Alongside of Lenin, his nearest CO.
worker at that time, Martov, already
felt himself ill at ease. They were
still addressing each other as thou"
but in their relations a GOODNESS was
clearly manifesting itself Martov
was more vitality interested in the
current day and its sensations, in cur
rent literary work, in public and po-
lemical activities, in news and con-
versations.
ENiN, allowing today to pass be-
- meath him, penetrated tomorrow
with his thought. Martov made in

quently forgot himself. Lenin took
that which he wanted when he want
ed it. The embellished fragility of
Martov's ideas caused Lenin more
than once to shake his head anxious
ly Not only were there at that time
no different political lines in exist
ence, but they were not even in sight.
Only now, looking backward, can one
trace them.
/ AFTER, before the split in the sec
- ond convention, the "Sparkists"
divided into hard" and soft" This
appellation was at first much used,
testifying that if there was no>clear
dividing line as yet, there was already

/ WAS quartered by Madame Lenin
1 several blocks away in house
where Vera Ivanova, Zasulich, Martov
and Blumenfield, the manager of the
Spark" printing shop, lived. The
dodgers occupied rooms one on top Of
the other. There was another large
common room, which Plekhanov
christened, after his first visit, "The
Dive" In this room there always
reigned great disorder. Here coffee
was taken and people dropped in for a
talk and smoke. Hence, the name.
Thus the short London period of my
life commenced.
NURING the London sojourn, as
- well as later in the Geneva Pc
riod, met Zasulich and Martov much
more frequently than Lenin. Living
in London in the .same fiat, and in
Geneva usually dining and supping in
the same little restaurants, Martov,
Zasulich and l met several times a
day, whereas each meeting with
Lenin, who lived with his family, was
in the nature of a small event.
