I ENNIS sense for reality has man
l.. ifested itself also in the fact that
long before the revolution he was able
to estimate correctly the significance
of the peasantry. Most of the Marx
ians had a very poor conception Of
the role of the peasants in the ap
preaching revolution. From the fact
that agriculture was subservient tc
city industry and that small-scale
production was gradually disappear
ing, many Marxians drew the conclu
sion that the peasants will not play
in the revolution any active part at ali
or else will play reactionary part.
AS far back as 1905. Lenin already
perceived the insuficiency Of the ag
rarian program Of the SocialDemo
cratic Party. Immediately upon the
beginning of the wide revolutionary
movement among the peasants in
1905, he formulated the demand fol
the naturalization Of the land. Len
ms slogan at that time was: "The
dictatorship of the proletariat and the
peasantry." He saw the necessity TO,

This action is consistent with the

The United Front of LabOr's
Enemies

That the last convention of the American Legion
gIoriAed the Fascist open shopper, Brigadier Gen
eral Dawes, seemed to be no bar to the welcome
extended to James A. Drain, national commander
Of the Legion by the 44h annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor now meeting at Ell
Paso, Texas
Neither was the fact that the last convention of
the Legion invited Mussolni to attend, any bar to
the effusive greeting given Drain by the labor bur
eaucrats at FL Paso. Fascism recognizes its own,
whether in black shirt or a boiled one.
Nor was the fact that the American Legion
thruout its existence has shown its antilabor char
acter by heaping up mountain of evidence against
itself as an organization of strikebreakers, dis
rupters of peaceful labor meetings, and lynchers
and terrorizers of union men and union organizers
any bar to the A. F. of L. convention giving the
floor to the Legion commander.
Indeed it seems that this record constitutes a
special recommendation for anyone approaching
the camp of Gompers There is Major Berry, for
instance, whose claim to strikebreaking is won
right in his own union, along with reputation
for taking the treasury for his own uses.
These are symbols Of the time in the ranks Of
labor 1t would seem that rottenness would stop
for lack of something to feed upon. In fact the
~
organized in the A. F. of i. is about the minimum.
These cannot be driven away from the union by
any ordinary corruption of the officials. As long
as they "get by" many are content to let the Off
Gals "get theirs"
But these workers are due to realize soon or
Late probably soon, that the normal" conditions of
the pre-war days are never to return, nor the war
and postwar economic boom and civil peace to last
forever. Union labor is like runaway train
headed downhill for washout. Those who went
with Harding to keep from webbing, and with
Coolidge to dodge ''chaos," going to find them
selves, not Immediately perhaps, but soon, wOb-
bling amid chaos of the worst kind.
The Trade Union Educational League, has fire.
quently warned the members of the unions against
permitting their officials to fraternize with the
American Legion which exists largely to fight I'M
ionism. The resolution of the 7. U. E. l.. urging
the A. F. of L. definitely to condemn the Legion
and combat it everywhere, may be ignored by the
officials at Ell Paso but there comes time when
the rank and file of the unions will know that not
mere corruption but class treachery accounts for
this determinations with the enemy.
When that time comes, there will be new deal
and new faces in the leadership of the A. F. of l..

large landowners. AS the February
revolution was developing, making
clear the extent Of the change that was
to come, and as he realized that Rus
STA would not satisfy itself with
bourgeois democracy, he commenced
propounding in practical fashion the
problem Of the dictatorship Of the
proletariat in the Russian Soviet
State.
AS an expert in the agrarian prob
lens, and as one well versed in the
applied phases Of political economy,
Lenin had been well aware of the fact
that the peasantry cannot play any
independent role. But for this very
reason, he said, it is our duty to win
the peasantry over to the side Of the
proletariat. He had been writing and
saying: 1.-THE peasantry will support
either the bourgeoisie or the prole
tariat. The peasantry stands to gain
from the proletariat much more than
from the bourgeoisie. Particularly
il we pursue such policy as to dis
abuse the peasantry of its prejudices
against the dictatorship Of the prole
tariat." Hence his slogan: IAN al
lance between the proletariat and
the peasantry,v and the policy Of
winning the masses of the viii
lagos for the support of the political
and economic policies Of the working

SCORED AS INHUMAN

. CHICAGO, December 31.-Unfair
unscientific and inhumane were the
terms applied to the immigration
quota law by Miss Edith Abbott
of the University of Chicago in her
address yesterday before the Ameri-
can Statistical Association.
Referring to one result of the law,
she said:
"In one private organization in
Chicago there are 200 cases OF aliens
who cannot become citizens because
their wives are in the old country
and who cannot bring their wives
over because they are not citizens"
Miss Abbott declared against ex-
tending the quota regulations to
Canada, declaring that 'we should
be glad to welcome these aliens with
open arms.
"They are hand-picked ed and select
ed by careful process through
Canada"
Herbert A. Miller Of Ohio State
University discussed alien culture
in this country, which he said
had been driven into cold storage
by the activities of the Ku Klux
Khan and the Hundred Percenters."
After a few years. when this post
war complex wears off," he declared,
this culture will come out Of hid
ing to the enrichment of American
life"
.Dr. Alexander Goldenweiser OF
the new School Of Social Research in
New York spoke in favor of re-
pealing the immigration law and
throwing Americas gates wide open.

LIFE ON MARS HELD

Temperature Too Cold for Human
Existence, DR.. W. w. Coblentz
Tells Scientists.

If life exists at all on Mars, It prob
ably has not developed beyond the
cycle of the mosses and lfchens which
thrive beneath the Arctic SHOWS of
this planet, or animals that are able
to burrow deep and hibernate most Of
the Marian year, DR.. w. w. Coblentz,

AT noon on the Martian equator, DR..
Coblentz declared, the temperature Is
about like that OF Washington on a
a bright March day, but by night 1t
drops to far below zero, and life in
that region of our neighboring planet
must be "a process of thawing out
and limbering up in the forenoon, and
a reversal of the process in the
afternoon"
There Is on this earth, however. the
speaker continued, both vegetable
and animal life, which might be able
to exist in Mars rigorous and flexible
climates.
