The October magazines are full of
good things with which to enter
tain and instruct readers. The
present tendency to have educational,
and especially health articles, not
only in the monthly editions of
magazines, but in newspapers,
makes it possible for everyone who
can read at all to be informed on
what is necessary to maintain good
health.
A busy mother, taking up daily
if only for a few minutes, may see
that her children should be supplied
with milk and nourishing food as
we'll as learn what is most needful
for her baby's comfort and welfare.
A new contributor to the American
Magazine is Barrett Willoughby, an
Alaskan girl. She tells her early
history in charming article, "A Lit
tie Alaskan Schooner Was My
Childhood Home" and the new
serial, Rocking Moon" romance
of Alaska, is from her pen. She has
published one book, Where the Sun
Swings North" and it must be es-
pecially interesting if it is like these
contributions of hers to the Atlantic.
The very subjects of articles might
be considered proverbs; for instance
"If You Want Bed of Roses, Plant
Rosebushes."

City Central meeting and take part
therein. Our foreign-speaking COM
rades are NOT held down at any City
Central meeting, but they lack
words when they get up to talk.
Some of them are wonderful strate-
gists, clear-thinldng Communists with
practical plans, but they lose them
selves when they try to shape their
ideas into English words. Even at
the cost of missing out on a few COM
mittee meetings month, it would be
well worth the loss in that direction,
il our foreign-language comrades
would acquire better use of English.

If Comrade Rostrom is a Marxist,

he believes that everything under
goes constant change-nothing is
static. Existence in itself, is the con-
stancy of change. And so living
languages are constantly undergoing
change. Only dead languages don't
change. AS soon as we will begin to
use dead language, it will begin to
live and change.
1t is well to know as many Ian
guages as one can possibly learn. To
know English, French, German, ETC.,
is very handy adjunct in life to any
person, especially in our movement.
But we must know the official, most
spoken language of the land in which
we live. lido, Esperanto, ETC., while
being international languages, can
never become MASS LANGUAGES.
Not enough workers can learn one
language at the same time to make
any practical use of same on a mass
scale in our daily class struggle.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-16

Now as to the handicap the Third
Internationale may be under, due to
language trouble, Comrade Rostrom,
is little misinformed. Those Com
munists who have been active enough
in the movement to reach the highest
center of Communist activity, have
mastered several languages. And if
the G. |. orders that future delegates
come prepared to speak lido and moth
ing else, we can rest assured that
VIM. z. Foster, or Tom OFlaherty
and Ben Gittlow will speak lido. The
fact is that we must Learn to talk

understand lido.
This is as near to perfection as we
can hope to reach at the present time
on an International scale, but we can
reach perfection on a National scale,
if we will try to make every foreign
language comrade an English-speak-
ing comrade.

l.. cannot function and prosper in
the everyday political and indus
trial struggles of the masses, then
they have no right to life"
Foster is further correct when he
criticizes the exclusiveness implied in
Meanings plan where
the only available revolutionary
force is the small body of conscious
revolutionists, you outline a plan
for the careful education, organiza-
ton and development of this prec-
ious little nucleus"
The only thing wrong is the apparent
sarcasm and slight for the nucleus
and its education. 1t may not be so
very precious, but it is the best we
have.
Education or Action.
With his insistence upon education
Nearing creates an unfortunate preju-
dice in the readers (worker's) mind.
Not by overstating the case of edu-
cation-that cannot be done; but by
omission to state (a) the education
that arises from concrete participa-
ton in the class struggle;
(b) the dynamic correlation be-
tween the education arising in the
class struggle and the one arising in
the class room.
The second without the first is ster-
lie; the first without the second is
but makeshift.
This leads us to the serious short
comings in Fosters statement; (a) in
his criticism of Meanings plea for
education he does not once offer any
encouragement, or a constructive
proposal, leading to such education
as Nearing propounds;
(b) nor does he criticize the fact
that the Communist movement i,s
America has at no time devoted even
l per cent of it's energy or finances
upon such education.
A summary of our observations
will lead us to the following: Near
ing emphasizes the need of formal
education, Foster emphasizes the ped
agogic value of activity in the class
struggle.
Neither of them overstate the i'm
portance of their particular phase of
work; but they negate the compile
mentary activity by understanding or
ignoring it, and create thereby a pic
ture without proper proportion.

RY JOSEF RRAHpY.

Dear Comrades Nearing and Foster:
If anyone were to Judge by the tone
of your discussion recently published
in the DAILY WORKER, one might
easily conclude, as you yourselves do,
that in your common political philoso-
ply, or economics as Nearing calls
1t, you are separated thru a vast diff
ference of political strategy (Nearing
says tactics). If such a difference
really exists between you, the sub
stance of your statements does not
reveal it; but it does show that you
are each arguing about a different
phase of our movement.
Revolutionary Sentiment.
In both articles a certain phrase
reoccurs so often lin ever-changing
terms) that one may well call it the
leitmotiv of the discussion. Nearing
speaks in six instances Of revolution
airy sentiment, once of revolutionary
ferment, and once of radical senti-
ment-a total of eight. Foster re-
AOAo tWOAsC blAhCo W fCNOAubAOudIy, VI
radical sentiment, discomfort, unrest,
etc. The discussion really revolves
around this point: Is there a revoIu-
tionary sentiment among the organ
lied and the unorganized American
wage workers.?
1t is your common mistake to base
your reasoning to such extent upon
this matter of revolutionary senti-
ment without coming to an agreement
among yourselves (and with your
readers) as to what revolutionary
sentiment really is. Let us see.
(a) In 1917, when the war hys-
terra was already heavily creeping
upon us, the Railroad Brotherhoods
came, with watch in hand, to the U.
S. Congress and said in substance eff
by such and such time the Eight Hour
Bill has not yet been passed, We'll
call complete strike of our organi-
cations, lie. smash American capital
ISM" Now, they might not have done
so after all, or gotten away with it;
there may have been many an under
standing which let the situation APP
pear much more tense and dramatic
than it actually was. Yet it was
magnificent demonstration of fighting
revolutionary sentiment on the part of
the American Railroad Union men
which has been barely Appropriated
in the Trade Union history of the
world, by men who are VIGOROUSLY
ridden by clan and church, by patriot
ism and politics.
(b) In the fierceness of their semi
organized class-struggle the l. w. W.,
American and foreign-born alike, have
performed feats Of heroism and sacri-
fee that are unsurpassed in the inter-
national labor movement; but we
know that removed from the hot-bed
of their opportunities their molten
stream of revolutionary lava brittles
in winter time into inert human mat
ter, slowly and in utter uselessness
floating thru the streets of America.
(c) Another type Of worker, much
more prevalent among the foreign
than among the native-born is the fol-
lowing. He is brimful with revolu-
tionary sentiment he belongs to a
revolutionary party, or Is close to It;
he brings sacrifices and takes no end
