tons Of Marx and Engels are kept,
and the reading room which has a
spIendidly equipped reference library
on the history of Socialism and on the
labor movement-are on one side the
German, French, English and Russian
departm and on the other the de-
partments for philosophy, comparative
law, political economy, the history Of
socialist and anarchist theory, and the
department for sociology. 1t is en-
ough to point out here that all these
departments are planned solely in
order to meet the requirements Of
MARKHAM research. They contain a
complete collection of all the authors
by whom Marx and Engels may have
anywhere quoted, and in fact OF the
whole literature relating to Marx and
Engels. The historical departments
make systematic collection of all
the numerous sources and descrip-
tions from which knowledge can be
gained Of contemporary conditions,
andpersons, which bore even the slight
est relation to the lives of Marx and
Engels, and which may be OF use in
forming critical judgment on them,
or on the historical problems touched
upon or fully treated in their works
The departments devoted to the
history Of ideas and to the theoretical
side in general are likewise organ
lied, not in piecemeal fashion, but
in way corresponding to the needs
of Marxist research. In the philo-
sophical department the majority Of
books deal with the history of mate
rialism, and the tendencies developed
from Hegel, including the young
Hegelian tendencies. A special col
lection in this department consist of
literature devoted to the dialectics of
materialism-this is certainly the
most complete collection of this kind
in existence. The section devoted to
political economy is organized espe-
cially to illustrate the problems of
Marxism. In the department of the

The National Council Of the Communist Party Of Germany

Party. 1t must be said that the pro-
ceedings of the National Council fur
nished wonderful testimony to the
stability of the c. P, of Germany.
Among the numerous delegations COM
ing from all parts of Germany there
was to be seen an absolute unanimity
regarding the fundamental questions.
All the important decisions WEI I'M
animously adopted, including the po-
litical as well as the trade union de-
cisions.
Never since the existence of the G.
P. as a mass party has there been a
National Council so entirely free
from groupings or any essential diff
ferences as this one. One can state
without any hesitation that there are
no longer any groupings or fractions
in the German Party. Already at the
Frankfurt Conference the Brandler
tendency was quite unrepresented.
But nevertheless we had beside the 80
delegates belonging to the left party
majority, 80 representative of the So
called central group.
Although already in Frankfurt we
had succeeded in establishing unani.
nifty on all the practical tasks Of the
day, there were still left some rem:
nants Of group differences. Already in
Moscow it was seen that the German
delegates to the Fifth World Congress
were completely united. For the first
time there appeared at Moscow a
German delegation, which was entire
Iy free from groupings and was the
uniform representation of the German
Party. The delegates from the Chem
nitz district were on all fundamental
questions in agreement with the del.
egates Of the party majority. The
same picture was presented at the
National Council. To all the spite and
hatred of Social Democracy to all the
prosecutions by the authorities of the
Ebert Republic, we are able calmly to
reply: 1.-THE Communist Party Of Ger
many is a homogeneous, iron block,
and no one will succeed in splitting
It."
The National Council in its political
resolution fully approved the decisions
Of the V. World Congress. 1t special
ly welcomed the way in which the

right in the international, the Radek-
Brandler group, was dealt with. 1t
approved in the sense of the Frank
furt decisions the new Foundations of
the united front and the workers
government, which made impossible
any opportunist Interpretation. The
National Council declared with parti-
cular satisfaction that the dispute
yer the workers government in the
frame of bourgeois democracy, which
had prevailed at the Leipsig Party
Conference, was now finally decided
in the sense of the German Left.
In the trade union question the Ma
tional Council likewise adopted the
decisions of the World Congress. The
National Council emphasized the ne
cessity of the Communists again re-
Stunning trade union work along the
whole front. This revival of our trade
union work, in spite of all confusion
which still prevails among some of
our members, is one the chief prac-
teal tasks of the Party. AS regards
the question of international trade
union unity, the National Council de-
clared itself in favor of "a mass cam
paign for unity, with the obvious pro-
visions that this unity could only be
realized on the basis of the revolu-
tionary class struggle.
The practical daily tasks of the
Party were defined by the National
Council as an intensification of the
mass struggle against the Experts
Report, in mobilizing the proletariat
against the new employers offensive
with their closing down Of factories,
in reviving the slogans of control of
production and specialization in the
fight against the food profiteers, pro-
tective tariffs and fresh direct taxes,
in the closest relations of the prole-
tariat with the poor peasantry, who
are suffering more and more severely
under the present crisis.
The National Council calls to the
party: Into the masses! But the Com
munist must go into the masses pre-
ciely at the time OF depression, with
out allowing himself to be Influenced
by the hesitating moods of the masses.
Practical workers politics, but without

else all collected together In one
place.
The works already published by the
institute. and those which It is pre-
pairing may be regarded as prelimina-
ry studies for the international edi-
ton Of Marx and Engels. Among
these we would mention: the great
edition of the Communist Manifesto
with detailed commentaries taken
from the historical and theoretical
works of Ryasanov, Lafargue and
Kautsky; the complete edition of the
works of Plekhanov; the collection OF
documents illustrating the history Of
the older West-European labor move
ment; the selected works of Hegel;
the Library of Materialism"; A. De-
borin's monograph on Feuerbach; the
Marx-Engels archive and-last but
uOl lcdSJ--Luc IluSSldu eQlLlOQ OIL the
works of Marx and Engels which is
planned to consist of thirty-five
volumes Of which four volumes edited
and annotated by Ryasanov have al
ready appeared.
Altho the organisation, the equip
ment, and the work already achieved
by the Marx-Engels institute will
make the production of the inter-
national, complete and critical edition
of the works of Marx and Engels con-
siderably easier, the Communist In
ternational must take energetic
measures on large scale in order to
develop both deeply and widely an
international and scientific propa-
ganda of Marxism. Only by doing
this can it claim to be the true heir of
Marx and Engels in the scientific
sphere. BY so doing the Communist
International will fulfil a duty to-
wards itself, and have the full right
to claim its position as the heir both
Of the political and the literary and
scientific remains of Marx and EngeIs.

opportunism. The National Council
Internationally endorsed the outlook
of the v. World congress that we
must at all times reckon upon new de-
cisive struggles for power hut that it
is impossible to fix the definite date
for these new decisive struggles; I'M
der certain circumstances we must al
ways reckon with longer transition
period and precisely in this period we
have to show the greatest commun-
list firmness.
The National Council reafirmed the
close alliance between the C. p. of
Germany and the C. P. of Russia, as
was shown at the V. World Congress.
To make use of all the experiences Of
the Russian Revolution to convert the
German Party in a true bolshevist
party and, regardless of obstacles, to
draw a clear unequivocal bolshevist
line, and in this sense to lead and
win the masses, that is the task which
the National Council has placed be-
fore the Party.

 Devine made his charge in speech at Jersey City, Saturday night. He was a lieutenant in the Second division, A, F. F., and was wounded at Belleau Wood.
 '"The disclosure that President Cool idge, when vice president, enacted a fee of $250 and expenses for delivering a memorial address under the auspices of the United Patriotic Societies, at Bridgeport, Conn.,, May 26, 1923, will shock the sensibilities of the American people," the statement declared, "who cannot fail to classify such transac- tion as a sordid indifference to the mem ory of the dead and an insult to. the soldiers and sailors living who offered their lives in defense of their coun- try"
 Gan the American people imagine Lincoln, Roosevelt or Wilson exacting a fee from soldiers or sailors for de livering memorial address?" the com mittee's statement asked. Yet Mir. Coolidge, after period of haggling, de-

WHEELER APPEALS

Independent Delivers ThFee
 Sunday Speeches In Chicago
nRv Assacinted Press. ]

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Brief cam paign addresses were made today by Senator Wheeler, independent vice-presi- dential candidate, before three Sunday afternoon gatherings of citizens of vary ing foreign nationality. One audience was made up chiefly of Poles, second of persons whose nativity was in CzechO- -Slovakian territory, while the third was German.
 In all three of the addresses, Senator Wheeler emphasized criticism of the Dawes plan for financial rehabilitation of Germany, not because of its purpose, but because of the nature he attributed to it. It would tend to bind the resi- dents of that country, he said, ito eco homie servitude under direction of the international bankers.
 He finished the day by attending a dinner at Hull House, where Jane Addams and other supporters of the La Toilette ticket were present. A late train took him out of Chicago for Springfield, where he will deliver his final Illinois speech before turning east to finish the campaign.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-(By Associated Press. )-Colonel Hanfold 'MacNider, former commander of the American Legion, and now national chairman of the Republican Service league, made public today a letter from President Coolidge "to the service men and wom en of America" appealing for united opposition against the "current attacks upon the fundamentals of our institu- tions."

 Having proved your loyalty and readiness to serve your country in war, you have opportunity to augment that service by assuming active responsibil- ity in connection with the troubles and differences which inevitably follow great national crisis. Although we are living now in peace, yet the very funda mentals of government in whose defense you offered your lives are again under attack.

 A Surprise
Wire to The Age. .Herald)


 PEKIN, Oct, 26.-The iso- lated central government lead CT, General Wu Pei Flu, is marching to Tientsin to open an offense against Pekin, Wu's former chief, President Tsao Kun, has been removed from office and the Christian general, Feng Yu Hsiang, has announced the compositions of the new Pekin cabinet.
 Wu's unexpected offensive against the Manchurian leader, Chang Tso Lin, at Shanhaikwan, has been partly success full, according to reports from Tientsin. Wu has delegated further conduct of the war in that region to his staff while he gives his own attention to the situation in Pekin.
 Attack Discredited
 The Tientsin report that Wu intended to attempt a military movement against General Feng is not credited here, where it is believed that Wu's author ity and power have been considerably diminished by the coup of his former subordinate, Feng, who deserted Wu and seized the capital.
 General FeRg has not announced a presidential appointment, but it IS understood that Yuan Chi Jui, a once powerful politician who has been in re- tirement for some time, would be Feng' s choice. He is known to be acceptable to General Chang and Feng often has intimated that Yuan should be given an opportunity to deliver China from government by legalized brigandage such as exists now in many districts.
 New Cabinet
 Feng announced that the new cabinet would be given final approval Monday. The new ministers are: Temporary premier and foreign minister, c. T. Wang, a Yale graduate; minister of communication, Than Flu, who held the education portfolio under Tsao; minis ter of finance, Kung Hsi Chow; min ister of war, Ii .Shu Cheng; minister of education, Li Shi Tseng; minister of commerce, Wang Mai Ping; perma- nent premier, Chang Shou Tseng, who served as premier during the adminis- tration of President Lii Yuan Hung.

 ONCE IN 43 YEARS
Students Of His Classes Can't
 Use Weather Alibi

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The gentle art of alibi-ing has become obsolete at Northwestern university since it be- came known that Professor George 0. Curme of the department of philology has been late to his s o'clock class but once in the last forty-three years.
 This one glaring blot on Professor Curmes otherwise lily-white record was caused by a blizzard twelve years ago which forced him to walk several miles to his class. Since that time the weather has been more orderly and can not be used as an alibi for the student whose alarm clock didn't work. PrOfes- sor Curme explains that he has never been sick and that he loves his work.
