IC. I. was really the making Of our
party, and for this the American work
ing class will forever be grateful when
it finally comes to realize the role
and Importance of a Communist party.
Five years ago the elements that
make up our party at present were
Just left wing of something or other.
The Left Wing of the Socialist Party,
the left of the /. W. W., radicals and
militants at large. 1t was loose,
shapeless movement striving painfully
towards self-expression and definite
Capitalization.
We Are Party.
Now it is a party. A party Of con-
scious communists with a clear re-
evolutionary theology and centralized,
fighting organization. Now it is an
army in the class-struggle, the adj
yanced guard Of the American work
ing class, with a recognized leader
ship and a well established program
of action.
Who wrought this wonderful
change? The conditions of the class
struggle in America, Of course. And
the reyerberations of the revolutions
airy struggles in Europe. But this
change would never have been pos
sible in such a short space of time if
not for the directing assistance OF the
Communist International.
Unity Between Foreign and Native.
To crystalline a Communist party
in America was difficult proposition,
indeed. With a working-class made
up Of foreign-born and natives, and
these foreign-born in their turn di-
vided into several races, languages
and nationalities, with a political
backwardness on the part of the
workers that no other capitalist coun-
try in the world can compare with,
with no revolutionary leadership that
could command general recognition
and support,-with all these condi-
ditions as a background, how many
years would it have taken to crystal
lie a Communist movement in Amer
lea had there been in existence no
Communist International?
Many, many more years than had
actually passed. Luckily for our party
and for the labor movement of Amer
lea as whole the Communist Inter-
national was formed in time to give
US all the dement's of it's knowledge,
experience and influence.
Greetings to Fifth Congress.
To the Fifth Congress we send our
greetings and expression of faith. We
expect our International Party to
emerge from this Congress more wise,
more powerful and even more de-
termined to lead us in the struggle
for International Communism. AS a
result of this Congress we are certain
to find each national section of the
world organization rejuvenated,
strengthened and more fit in every
sense to tackle successfully the COM
plicated problems of their respective
countries.
Hail the Communist International!

Of one national section. 1t is one

And the International Congress Of this
party will deal with individual pro-
blems of each national section in the

the local problems of their own sub
divisions.

1T opens in Moscow on the 18th of
June. And for two weeks, or so,
the eyes of every fighter in the
proletarian cause, no matter what
part of the world he finds himself in,
will be turned to the Congress--the
living embodiment of the proletarian
urge to victory and will to power.
The unbelievable Happened.
So it was. Five years ago very
few believed the thing to be possible.
Lenin was the first one to proclaim
the idea. 1t was then taken up by
his most trusted and closest co-work-
ers. And within a few months this
flaming, life-generating ideal of a
Communist International became
reality.
When it started it was Russia, the
Russian Communist party primarily,
that was the basis and substance of
the new world-organization of the re-
volutionary working class. In fact,
the only real party that participated
in the first Congress of the Commun-
list International was the Russian
party, all the other delegates re-
presenting either small Communist
groups or revolutionary minorities in
the parties of the End International.
And now, when the Fifth Congress
comes into session, the Communist
International represents a powerful,
well-trained and disciplined army of
revolutionary soldiers that numbers in
its ranks millions of workingmen and
workingwomen all over the world.
Now the Communist International is
the only real international organiza-
ton. Composed Of almost all the liv-
ing races, nations and languages, yet
its membership of millions knows
only one loyalty, one objective and one
language of struggle. 1t is the world
revolution and the proletarian die
tatorship.
The Fifth Congress.
This is the Fifth Congress. 1t meets
at time, when the workings lass
struggle in the most important coun-
tries in the world is again on the up
grade. Life and hope and determina-
ton are once more coming back into
the struggle Of the workers in Ger
many, France and England. The COM
plications and contradictions Of CAPT
talist rule have again brought the
masses to the verge of ruin, which
compels the revolutionary workers of
the world once more to seize the
initiative in the class-struggle.
Germany will be on the agenda of
the Congress. 1t will most prob
ably occupy the central place in its
deliberations. Events in that most
important country in Central Europe
are fast coming to a head. 1t will
require all the wisdom, knowledge
and experience of the Communist In
ternational to steer and direct the
working class of Germany success
fully thru the ripening conflict for
power.
Because of the approaching final
showdown between the forces of Fas-
cism and Communism in Germany, the
Communist Party of that country,

Music of the Orient
Harsh and Strident

The idea as to what real music really
Is varies according TO race and en-
vironment. Music of the Orient is apt
to jar upon sensitive occidental ears.
Take the question of drums as an in
stance. The playing of drums In Euro
pean orchestras has reached a high
standard of art, though 1t is rare that
more than three or four are used. In
a Burmese orchestra however, the two
principal instruments are one made of
a series of drums called the seing-
weing and a similar series of gongs
called the kyee or gongs graduated in
size, the drums being played with the
fingers and hands and the gongs with
knobsticks. Besides these there are
cymbals, tom-toms and castanets,. the
last-named being much larger than the
European instruments and made of
bamboo. Of wind instruments there
are only a number Of clarlnets and one
flute played by the leader or conduc-
tor. String instruments are not used,
and there are also no brass instru-
ments.

Tongue TlOisters That
Haze Become Classics

Some time ago there appeared in the
British comic journal Punch, a particu-
larly effective tongue twister, which
ran something to this effect:
A lady was walking down country
lane when she met tinker. "Ah," she
said. Il see you are copper-bottoming
your pots" "Oh, no" he replied, I'm
aluminiuming 'em, num-" AS tongue
twister this is pretty hard to get,
though perhaps the American form of
the words is just trifie more difficult
to wrap ones tongue around: I'm
aluminuming 'em, num-"
There are, of course, many thou
sands of these traps for the unwary
floating about. Here are few The
test is, not merely to say them, but to
manage to. repeat them quickly, say q
half dozen times without getting
ones tongue tied up in knot. .

Lnseed oil was first made in New
York in IT'S. Pigments were all i'm
ported. In. New England there was
much prejudice against the use OF
paint. It being considered sign OF
worldliness and vanity.
In 1880 clergyman in CharIestown
Mass, was hailed before the council for
having the interior of his house paint
ed. and during the ensuing 40 years
there was not a painter In all New
England. Still, by 1850 the use of
paint had become general throughout
the country, the white house with

all parts Of the United States. This

Pleasant for Auntie

Little Margaret was spending holi-
day with her aunt in Cornwall. Now,
auntie was spinsteE. and not in the
first bloom Of youth. In fact, an I'M
kind person had once been heard to
refer to her as "old," and we believe
the other word used was "cat." Any
how, she was not young.
Auntie was determined to give her
little niece good time. and she ar

to give Margaret a chance of appreci-
ating the beauties of the Cornish

CHAPTER XVI

HIS grace behaved generously. and
at the same time with a prudence
which reveals the alert and calculat-
ing mind of this gifted man, who
might have been great had he been
less of a voluptuary.
He attended with HOLES before the
justices early on the morrow, an
nOuncing himself able to confirm out
of his own knowledge the truth of
the account which the colonel gave
Of his relations with the attainted
Tucker. More was not needed. The
sycophantic court bent the knee be-
fore this great gentleman who en-
joyed the close friendship of the king.
Thus at the outset was Holes de-
livered from his worst peril Next he
was informed that. since service OF
any distinction in England was al
most out of the question for his
fathers son. Buckingham would sup
ply him with letters to several high
placed friends of his own in France,
where a capable soldier we'll recon-
mended need never lack employment.
From attendance before the JUS
tees, Colonel Holes repaired straight
to Fenchurch Street to conclude ar.
rapgements with the owner of the
house in Knight Ryder Street. OF
this he now acquired the tenancy In
his own name for the term of one
year. The merchant did not trouble
to conceal the fact that he regarded
Colonel Holes as crazy to desire to
take up his residence in an infected
city from which all who were able
were making haste to remove them
selves. Had the Colonel needed a re-
hinder Of 1t. he had it in the fact
that he was constrained to go on foot.
not only because hackney-coaches
were now rare, but because the use
of them was considered highly. i'm
prudent, since so many had been
used by infected persons. Doors
smeared with the red cross and
guarded by watchmen were becorl-

spendency or else with the watchful-
ness of hunted creatures. The pun.
gent smell Of electauraies. and par.
ticularly of camphor, was waited to
the ColonePs nostrils from the per-
son of almost every human he met.
He may have thought again that
as he had already admirably ex-
pressed it-Buckingham was led by
his passion like blind man by his
dog, to come thrusting himself at
such a time into the City. and he
may have taken satisfaction in the
thought that he, himself. so soon as

Cpportune. Unless he could make of
HOLES the ;ool that he required so
Sorely. where should he find another?
He set a friendly hand upon the
ColoneIs shoulder.
And whilst the Duke now talked
persuasively tempting him with prom
ises on the one hand and intimidating
him with a picture of what must
otherwise happen on the other, the
COloners own tormented mind was re-
considering.
Were his hands really so clean, his
life 50 blameless. his honor so unfair
nished, that he must boggle at this
vileness, and boggle at it to the ex-
tent of allowing them to stretch his
neck and disembowel him sooner than
perform it? And what was this vile
ness when all was said? A baggage
of the theater, trull of an actress,
had played upon the Duke that she
might make the greater profit out OF
him in the end. The Duke, wearied
of her tricks and wiles. desired to cut
the game short. Thus the Duke
represented the situation. And what
