testing our influence among the mass
es, these elections are of no little i'm
portance. The recent elections in
such a remote corner of Europe as
Carpathian Ruthenia have shown that,
when Communists take up proper
attitude towards the peasantry, the
proletarian party may win over a con-
cradle section of the peasantry to its
side.
The events in Germany have ac-
CURED tremendous Importance for the
activities of the Comintern. In the
Autumn of 1923, events in that coun-
try developed so stormiIy that every
one expected stormy revolutionary
rise and decisive rebellion. Instead
of that, we suffered defeat. Inc Ger
man working class has been flung
back for some little time However,
the question of preparing for the pro-
latarian revolution in Germany re-
mains as hitherto one of the most i'm
portant problems confronting the
Comintern as a whole, and its most
important section in Europe in par
ticular.

The three parties (Bloc National,
Party, Socialist Party, what
ever they may be saying and doing,
have common features, common in
terests and even common mentality.
First of all, they have a common
foe: the Revolution, and it's Party,
Communism. Beginning with NJ
Poincare, including NJ Herriot, right
up to Blum-Paul Faure, they have a
horror of the revolution, not of the
word, but of the thing itself. For
these three parties, the revolution is
an accomplished fact. or, according
to the classic formula Of reformism,
is accomplishing itself every day by
means of reforms. For these three
parties the question is how to seize
power by means of the parliamentary,
of the legal method.
The Socialist Party, having once
attained power in France, will repeat
the same acts, the same gestures, as
were performed by its brother par
ties" of Germany with Ebert-Noske-
Scheidemann, of Sweden with Bran.

which strike the eye. The Hamburg
Socialists have been governing, are
governing and will be governing the
capitalist society on behalf of and fol
the profit of the capitalist order.
The bourgeoisie, particularly this
stupid, ignorant and terrified French
bourgeoisie, will need bit of time
before it can grasp the fact that it il

and petty bourgeoisie is menaced
with irreparable ruin. And during

self with the Radical-Socialist Party,
which is neither radical nor Socialist.
The day after tomorrow all the ele-
ments of the left will assume the So
cialist label, emitting the prefix rad
ical." which,. since it extends from
Perchot to the editors of the Ian
terne" and of the "Rappel," has lost
all serious significance At such time,
the Socialist Party, section of the
international of the Royal Minis
ters," as stated by the citizen Bar
thelemy Mayeras, one of the distin
guished members of this same quasi
international, will lay all it's cards on
the table, will throw off it's mask and
proclaim itself party Of the counter
Revolutionary order.
The situation will become clear and
definite. The workers and peasants
class will be represented solely by the
Communist Party, section of the Com
lmunist International.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-05-10

At present we are only at the
beginning. The electoral exchange
of compliments is to be continued in
the same tone between the hostile
brethren of the bourgeois block, who,
at bottom, have the same ideas, the
same hate Of revolution and of Com
munism, but who possess divergent
electoral appetites and interests.
For the Communist Party the task
is not only to take note of these blows
and to derive profit from them. 1t
must, in the first place, unmask all
the bourgeois parties and their con-
ceptions, setting out with full details
a faithful record of their stupidities
and of their crimes.
First let us cast a general glance
over the political chessboard and the
large parties engaged in the fight.
For the moment we will pass over the
parties standing outside" and all
kinds of malcontents Of the latest
fashion, seeking for social position
and parliamentary seats.
There then remain three large par
ties, representing three large social
classes, striving with their utmost
means to attain power.
1. The Party of the Bloc National
representing nondescript coalition
of capitalist greed and interests
2. The Democratic Party (Radical
Socialists) represents the middle ant

keepers, all kinds of brokers, ant

sions who have not abandoned them

us by the founder of the Comintern,
Lenin, as the task of tasks of the
present period. That task has not
yet been fulfilled. The Fifth Congress
will have to devote its greatest atten-
ton to its fulfllment
The slogan of the Fifth Congress
will be without Lenin in the spirit
Of Leninism." The great leader of the
Comintern is dead, but his cause lives,
above all in the Comintern. The Fifth
Congress will undoubtedly solve all
the questions that will confront it in
the spirit of genuine Leninism. The
teachings of Lenin will remain the
guiding star for all the sections of the
Comintern.

future. Inc european communist
Parties have not yet done one-hun-
dredth part of what is necessary in
order to win over to their side those
sections of the peasantry which can
be attracted to the working class.
The Fifth Congress must exert all eff
fort and determination to deal with
this problem.
A new question is placed on the
agenda of the Fifth Congress, viz: The
Attitude of Communists towards Intel
ligentzia The term intelligentzia is
used in the broad sense OF the word,
and includes also the technical intel
ligentzia In a number of countries,
the intelIigentzia as a consequence of
the prevailing economic conditions are
in more or less sharp opposition to
the existing regime. In various parts
of the world-G Germany, Japan, Bull
garia, France, considerable sec
tons of the intelligentzia, oppressed
by poverty and feeling the effects of
predatory imperialist policy. are now
at the crossroads and are not with
out sympathy towards the revolution
airy labor movement. In this sphere
the Comintern must take the initia-
tive in its own hands. It must show
in which way live, revolutionary Marx
/ ism differs from the ancient lifeless
presentation of the question of the
intelligentzia.
| The Question of Organization win
be raised at the Fifth Congress more
lconcretely than hitherto, and on the
basis of a greater accumulation Of ex-
lperience. The majority of the Com
munist parties of TIE West to this
very day have failed to organize on
the basis of the factory nucleus. To
solve this problem, not merely on pa
per, but in actual practice, will signify
great step forward along the path
towards real preparation for the pro
letarian revolution.
The Fifth Congress viii also deal in
great detail with questions Of propa
ganda. 1t will give the required atten
ton to the Youth Movement, which Il
developing so well and which has SO
great future before it in the work Of
preparing for the world revolution
The Fifth Congress will also give
proper attention to the Women''
Movement, to the Cooperative Cues
ton, to the Red Relief, etc.
The agenda is long and varied. Dur
ing the two months remaining, the
parties must thoroughly prepar'
themselves for these questions.

leaders Of the social-democracy be-
come in their efforts to hasten the
split in the trade unions. The pro-
vocative tactics of the 'Social-Demo-
cratic leaders in certain places are
very successful Among the German
left wing there is developing wrong
and extremely dangerous attitude to-
wards the question of the future work
in the reactionary trade unions. The
Fifth Congress will have to speak with
all its authority and determination
against the policy of leaving the So
cialDemocratic unions, and at the
same time it will have to find a prac-
teal solution to the problem of how
to organize those workers whom the
SocialDemocratic leaders have sue
ceeded In expelling from the trade
unions.
AS hitherto, the National Question
will be discussed with extreme atten-
ton at the forthcoming Congress.
The theoretical basis of the solution
of this question are contained in the
reports and resolutions introduced at
previous congresses by Comrade
Lenin. The task of the Fifth Con-
gress will consist in working out more
concretely the application of the ma
tional policy of the Comintern in va
rious countries. And especially in the
countries of the East and in the col
onies, where the struggle for national
independence is developing more and
more into a revolutionary movement
directed against the domination of in
ternational capitalism. The proper
solution Of the national question will
help all parties to win over the masses
to their side. 1t is the national and
agrarian questions that most of all
distinguish the Comintern from its
predecessors, the Second Interna-
tional and even the First Interna-
tional, which, owing to historical con-
ditions, raised these questions only in
an abstract manner. Without solv-
ing the national and agrarian ques-
tions in the spirit of Leninism, the
Comintern cannot win over the ma
jority of the toilers and without do.
ing the latter, we cannot enter the de.
cisive battle.
The question Of Relation to the
Peasantry will be presented to the
Fifth Congress in the form of re
port from the Peasant International
which is in the process Of being or
ganized conference in Moscow, 1929
The correct solution of the nationa
question to large extent implies also
the correct solution of the peasant
problem. The young organization
which began to be organized in Mos

international undoubtedly has a grea
