Observations of a Publicist

say: we regret to state, that our fear
has been justified. Had we not, after
having devoted all our lives to pre-
pairing a reasonable scheme for the
ascent of this mountain, demanded a
postponement of the ascent, until our
scheme had been definitely elaborated?
And If we have been opposing so pas
sionately the path which has been
abandoned by the mad-man himself
Gust look, he is turning back, he is
going downward, he spends whole
hours in preparing the bare possibility
of moving himself on one yard. And
he insulted US with the most insolent
words, when we systematically de-
manded moderation and precision); if
we have condemned the mailman so
sharply and warned everybody from
initiating and helping him, we have
acted exclusively out OF our love for
the great plan for the ascent of this
mountain, and in order not to COM
promise this great scheme in general.
Happily our imagined traveller, in
the conditions of the example we have
chosen, cannot hear the voices of
these true friends" Of the idea
Of the ascent, otherwise it would
have an ill effect upon him and
this would not conclude to clearness
of head and firmness Of foot, especial
ly at such great altitude.
II. Without Metaphor.
An example is no proof. Every COM
parison is faulty in some respects.
These are undisputed and generally
known facts but they must neverthe-
less be called to mind, in order to bet
ter show how far any comparison in
general is valid.
The Russian proletariat in its revo-
luton clambered to an enormous
height, not only as compared with
1889 and 1898, but also as compared
with 1871. We must take into account
as soberly, clearly and observantly as
possible what we have already put an
end to" and what we have yet to
achieve: then our heads will remain
all the clearer and we will not be sub
ject to giddiness nor illusions nor de-
preston.

A BALLAD OF THE TOWN
BY HENRY AckLEY.

Spirit Of steam and Steel
Spirit of men that feel
Spirit of a growing commonwealth
We stood on swinging BEAM
Me and my pal Joe.
He says That's quite stream
OF biDed ants below"
Look" he says. ito the west
Over the drifting smoke;
That hill is lifting like a woman's breast
And a man would be some bloke
II he didn't have thoughts come up in him
That swell his soul-my eyes are dim"
Iron to iron the rivets crept
While thru the air our hammers swept,
And Joe drowned out the noise
His booming voice sang: Boys
We are they with sweat anonted,
We are they in faith appointed
With straining sinews to achieve
glory that the gods conceive;
Thus, to the Uniformed ages given,
Thus, by unknown purpose driven,
We ride with Death where the log-boom breaks.
We breathe his breath where the furnace shakes,
We finger his form where the wheels are whirled
And soon to his knotted are hurled;
Our bones in the eddies lost,
Our bones to the ashpit tossed"
The riveting ceased, and ceased the song,
And Joe looked round in his humorous way,
And said, I'm glad I'm here where belong,
I've landed a job and 1 get good pay"
well, then" said dig down in your brain,
And since you must sing, get OF o. tbs stsainl

But he kept on with the same refrain:

But the purring mill extends IT'S paws;
Our children beched from the mines grim tavs.-

We have put an end" to the bour-
geois-democratic revolution as pure
ly" as never before in the world. This
is very great gain which no power
can deprive us Of.
We have found the way out of the
most reactionary imperialistic war by
revolutionary means. This too is a
gain of which no power in the world
can deprive us and is even of more
value, in as much as reactionary inn
perialistic slaughters are unavoidable
in the near future, if capitalism re-
mains. But the people of the twentieth
century will not very easily be fobled
off second time with "Basle Mani
festoes," by means of which in 1912
and in 1914-1S the heroes of the Sec
ond and Second and a half Interna-
tional befooled themselves and the
workers.
We have created the Soviet-type Of
the state and thereby inaugurated q
new world-historical epoch, the epoch
of the political state of the proletariat
which is to follow the epoch of the
dominion of the bourgeoisie. This too
can no more be taken away, tho only
by the practical experience of the
working class of several countries it
will be possible to achieve" the Sow
iet-type of state.
But we have not even completed
the foundation of socialist economy.
This can still be taken away by the
forces of dying capitalism opposed to
us. We must plainly realize and openly
acknowledge this, because nothing is
more dangerous than illusions land
the feeling of giddiness, especially at
great heights). And there is absolute
ly nothing terrible" nothing which
would justify even the least depres-
sion, in acknowledging this bitter
truth, for we have always been preach
ing and reiterating this primitive truth
of Marxism: that for the victory of
socialism the common efforts of the
workers of several advanced coun-
tries are required. But we still re-
main quite alone, and in a backward
country, in country which has been
shattered more than others, we have
accomplished incredible things More
over, we have conserved an "army" Of
revolutionary proletarian forces, we
have maintained it's ''maneuvering
capacity" we have conserved clarity
of thot, permitting us to Judge sober
ly, where, when and how far we have
to retreat lin order to advance more
forcefully) where, when and how we
have to set working on that which has
not been accomplished. Those Com
munists who imagine that one can
complete, without errors, without re-
treats, such world-historical under
taking" as the laying down Of the
foundation of socialist economy (espe-
cially in country of petty peasantry)
must be regarded indeed as hopeless
" lost. Those communists have not
failed (and are likely to fail) who are
not given over to illusions or to de-
preston, who maintain force and the
adaptibility Of the organism for a re-
peated beginning afresh," when deal
ing with difficult task.
Just as little as we can permit our
selves to give way to the least depres-
sion, as little have we cause for SO
doing, as in spite of all the devasta-
ton, misery, backwardness and hun
ger, we have begun to move some

Preliminary Remarks by comrade
ZinoViev.
.HE following hitherto unput

RE IOIloWlng hitherto unpub-
lished article was recently found
among the papers Of comrade
Lenin. This article was written for
"The Communist International Zap
proximately in February or March
1929 and was intended to be a con-
tinuation of those observations of a
Publicist" which Vladimir Ilyitch at
that time was publishing in almost
every number Of "The Communist In
ternational."
remember how Vladimir Ilyitch
had promised to finish this article for
the regular number of 1.-THE Com
munist International but this he
failed to do owing to his being over
tired and overcharged with work.
With regard to the role Of Paul Levi
during the Third Congress there were
also considerable disagreements with
in the Russian delegation. Lenin re-
peatedly in conversations acknow-
lodged his error in this question. The
declaration of Lenin in the following
article puts an end to dispute, which
is not without interest, over the i'm
portant episode which assumed great
Importance for the elaboration of the
tactics of the Communist Interna-
tional.
AS regards comrade Lenin's strong
condemnation of Serrati, this refers
to the time Of the greatest errors Of
the latter and of his most reprehen-
sible attacks against the Communist
International. In this place we have
deleted from the manuscript of Lenin
some sharp phrases evoked by the
heat of combat, and we are thorough
ly convinced that in this respect we
are acting in Lenins spirit. He would
now have been the first to strike out
these sharp phrases and would have
rejoiced at the return of comrade Ser
rati into the ranks of the Communist
International-the more so as COM
rade Lenin held comrade Serrati's
abilities in high esteem.
Lenin's article-even tho unfinished
appears at the most opportune time.
There will shortly take place the v.
OOuSICSS VI luG
tional which will deal with many of
the problems, touched on in this ar
ticle. The German C. P. is again ex-
periencing sharp inner struggle.
There are ultra-left comrades appeal
ing to the error made by Rosa Luxem-
burg in 1903 against the views Of the
Communist International as for in
stance in the organizatory question.
1t will be particularly useful to these
comrades to read what Lenin writes
in this regard. There are sensation
mongers who are talking of the crisis"
of the Communist International For
these comrades it will be particularly
useful to read what comrade Lenin
writes about "the noiseless, unassum
ing, deliberate, unhasting, but pro
found work of constructing real Com
munist parties in Europe and Amer
ica." And it would be of very, very
great advantage if many "critics" OF
the policy of C.-P of Russia we're tc
read, mark and learn what Vladimir
nyitch writes on the ascent Of High
Mountains" and in particular on the
EVIL Effects of Faint Heartedness."

|. An Example.

Let us imagine man who is at
tempting the ascent of very high and
hitherto unclimbed mountain. Let us
assume that he has succeeded, after
having overcome unheard of difficult
ties and dangers, in climbing far
higher than his predecessors, but that,
nevertheless, he does not reach the
top. He arrives at position where
to go forward in the chosen direction
and path appears to be not only diff
ficult and dangerous, but downright
impossible. He is compelled to turn
back, to go downwards, to seek new
paths, even If longer but nevertheless
promising the possibility of arriving
at the summit. The descent from that
height which had never at any time
previously been attained and on which
our imagined traveller found himself,
involves even greater dangers and
difficulties than those encountered in
the ascent. One is more likely to lose
the way, it is not so easy to find the
place where one has to place his foot,
there no longer exists that feeling Of
highest elation evoked by the move
ment Of direct ascent towards the goal
etc. One must bind oneself with q
