RUSSIA'S REMARKABLE REVIVAL

Moreover, the article is authoritative,
since it is written by VIM. 2. Foster
who has just returned from his second
visit to the Workers Republic under
the title Russia in 1924"
All is changed says Foster, "since
mY. visit in 1921. The workers are
stronger and healthier. To prove this
it is not necessary to have recourse
to statistics. 1t is patent to the naked
eye. The average man is 20 to 80
pounds heavier than in 1921. The
crowds are full Of life and energy"
Another short and interesting note
in the July LABOR HERALD on this
subject quotes the official paper of
Moscow, Economic Life'-the author
ity needed by capitalist and Commun-
ist alike-to the effect that the En-
glish pound sterling, matched against
the new gold money Of the soviets on
the Russian market, fell % per cent
between January 1st and April 5th.
It will be astonishing to all our 100
|per centers to learn that our (?)
American dollar compared to this
Bolshevik ruble fell IL per cent in the
same three months! The LABOR
HERALD is the first publication in
America, so far as known, which has
given this significant fact attention.
The daily worker., 1924-08-09

Just as the average capitalist news
paper persisted for years after the
Bolshevist November revolution in
running daily fairy tales about the
"overthrowal of the soviets"-so are
the same capitalist papers continuing
now to speak of Russia as "in ruins"
and its people victims of starvation
and chaos and so on. After many
years only the most daring of these
liars will now venture so far as the
old yarns about the impending over
throwal or collapse of the soviet gov
ernment." But the "ruin-famine-and-
chaos lie is still going strong.
For this reason it is important that
the labor press circulate the facts
about the remarkable revival of prod
uction under the soviets and how
Communist control is bringing ever
better conditions for the workers
while in other countries including
America-the life of the workers be-
comes more miserable and hopeless
every day.
1t is with considerable joy, there
fore, that we read in the LABOR
HERALD for July, a thorough and
graphic description of both industrial
and human reconstruction after the
long years of war and revolution.
The daily worker., 1924-08-09

from the Empire, they are by no
means anxious to see the Indian work
ing class emancipate itself from the
thrall of capitalism, British or Indian.
They even oppose the most modest
demands of the exploited native work
ers. They want, not India for the
Indians, but India for the Indian capi-
talists, bureaucrats and intellectuals.
United Front With NationaIists Now.
And the Indian trade union leaders
are also by no means the militant
leaders which the workers need. They
are far more closely allied with the
middle class nationalist element, than
with the proletariat.
Yet, in the present stage Of the In
dian movement, it is the duty of all
revolutionists to support the nation
alist movement, to support the move
ment against Imperialism, while, at
the same time, endeavoring, by every
means, to base it ever more upon the
mass action of the workers and pea
SAINTS. to link it up with their econo-
mic and social demands, and to give
it an increasingly leftward orienta-
ton.

IndustriaIism Grows.
And, while Indian Nationalism ham,

the growth of Indian machine indus
try and of native bourgeoisie-th
Indian masses are slowly coming to
glimmering of the important role
which they must play in the course
of future developments.
Strikes are becoming more and
more frequent in India. And they are
accompanied by all the features of
the most violent industrial warfare.
The shooting down of striking work
ers in Bombay, in the Cawnpore mills,
is but part of the tragic unfolding Of
the history of Indian wage-slayery.
And the recent industrial troubles are
also providing us with the spectacles
of the United Front between the
armed forces of the foreign imperial
list rulers-the British-and III e
Indian capitalists.

differed as to the guilt Of the defend
ants.
Four Communists Jailed.
They were Communists, it appears,
these four Indian workers; and there
fore, they must go to prison. And
this, it must be remembered, took
place when the central ruling body
of the Empire-the British govern
ment-was Labor Gopernment.
Well, it was really to be expected.
Only few weeks ago, the daily press
stated that officials Of the India Office
had just inspected some new tanks.
These were tanks of an improved type,
specially adapted for street fighting,
and were to be sent to India.
And so our brilliant Fabian Social
ist" sits in the India Office, issuing
bland and empty statements Of amity
for the Indian people, and sending
tanks over to prove to them the friend
ship of the British labor government.
'Tis pretty picture, upon which our
/. L. P. friends must needs gaze
with surprise and sorrow, if, indeed,
they retain any of their old ideals Of
freedom and internationalism.

An international Language

Dear Comrade II hasten to congratu-
late you on publishing the article
called "Our Language Problem" in
Saturdays Magazine Section. But the
fifth and last section of it was bunk.
Here is a word for word copy Of an
official statement by the Secretariat
Of Comintern, delivered in the hands
of Comrade E. Lanty Of Paris, refer
ring to this question:
The Executive Committee of the
Communist International.
No. 1455. Moscow, Aug. IA, 1922.
Comrade e. Lanty, delegated by the
Esperantist Organization "Sennacieca
Asocio Tutmonda," with approval Of
the International Secretariat of the
French Communist Party, having
come to Moscow for the purpose of
investigating the work of Study Com
mission for the Adoption Of an Auxi-
liary Language in the Communist In
ternational, is officially informed that
this committee is already dissolved
and that the Communist International
has not made any decision concern
ing the adoption of either Esperanto
or lido.

A similar statement has also been
received from the Peoples Commits
sariat for Education in the Republic
of Abkhazia.
There are two sides to every ques-
tion, the theoretical and the practical.
I The article in Saturdays Magazine
| Section entitled sour Language Prob
lem" from the theoretical point of
view, in pointing out in clear terms
the need of an international langue.
But when we come to the practical
side, the introduction and application
of such language, then our troubles
begin. For if we start talking lido
propaganda at the present time when
Esperanto has travelled the greater
part of the road to universal adoption
we only cause confusion, and our work
and trouble will have no practical re
suits.
We need not be guided by the so
called Study Commission" Of the
Comintern, inasmuch as the Executive
Committee of the Comintern will have
nothing more to do with it. 1t was
dissolved more than two years ago
and the Comintern has as yet made
no decision whatever on the adoption
of any international language. And
the others who are said to recommend
lido have simply been fooled to do SC
