THE PFIILISTTNE DISCOURSETH By 7.t.E

Lenin has written a great number of
works Of the highest Importance on
the agrarian question, on theoretical
economy, on sociology and on philo-
sophy. Wells is only familiar with
Short sharp pamphlets" with regard
to which he remarks that they merely
appear under Lenins signature"
that is, he insinuates that they are
written by other people. The true
essence of Lenin's thought" is to be
found, not in the dozens of volumes
written by him, but in that conversa-
ton, lasting but one hour, which the
most illustrious visitor from Great
Britain most graciously deigned to
hold.
One could at least expect from
Wells an interesting sketch of Lenins
outward appearance, and for the sake
of one well-portrayed feature we
would have been ready to pardon him
for all his Fabian trivialities. But the
article does not contain even this.
'Lenin has pleasant brunette %
countenance, with an everchanging
expression and lively smile. :"
HE offers very little resemblance to
his photographs :" HE gesticu-
lates little when speaking :" Mr..
Wells did not get beyond the banalties
of the average reporter to a capitalist
newspaper. For the rest, he made
the further discovery that the shape
of Lenin's head reminds one of that
of Lord Balfour's, it being long and
somewhat unsymmetrical, and that as
regards his figure, he is small man;
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-06-21

cry that his presence lis character
site for the actual situation in Rus
sia": Rothstein, as one co1h see, was
controlling Lenin on behalf Of the Peo-
pies Commissariat for Foreign At
airs, in view of the excessive candor
of Lenin and Of his dreamy lack of
caution. What can one say regarding
this precious observation? When
Wells entered the Kremlin he brought
with him in his consciousness all the
rubbish heap of international bour-
geois presumptions, and with his lynx
eyed sharpness-oh, of course there
was no defective vision" there-he
discovered IN Lenin's study all that
he had previously sucked in from The
Times or some other reservoir of the
hair-oil and spats brigade.
In what now consisted the real i'm
port of the conversation? AS regards,
this we receive from Mr.. Wells some
pretty hopeless commonplaces, which
show how wretched and barren Len
ms thoughts appear after passing
through the prism of another mind,
regarding the symmetry of which
there is not the least occasion to
doubt.
Wells came with the idea that she
would have to enter into a dispute
with thoroughly convinced doctri-
naire Marxist. but as matter of fact
nothing of the kind occurred" We
are not surprised at this. We of
course, know already that the "es-
sence of Lenin's thoughts" was not re-
vealed by his activity, extending over
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-06-21

when he is sitting on the edge of his
chair his feet barely touch the floor"
As regards the shape of Lord Bal
tours head we are unable to say
anything concerning this dignified
piece of anatomy and are quite pre-
pared to believe that it is long. But
for the rest-what an impolite piece
of carelessness! Lenin was a some
what reddish-blond type of man. He
can in no wise be described as being
a brunette. He was of medium sta
ture, perhaps trifie under the aver
age height; but that he gave the inn
preston of being small man and
that when seated he could hardly
touch the floor with his feet this
could only be apparent to Mr.. Wells
who, with the self-confidence of a
civilized CULVER had penetrated into
the country of the northern Commun-
list Liliputians. Mr.. Wells further re-
marks that Lenin in the pauses of the
conversation had the habit of lifting
the edge of his cap with his finger.
SIHdpS ILLS udDlJ dIOSe lTOu uc-
fective vision" suggests the very dis
corning writer. We are quite familiar
with this gesture. 1t was to be OBJ
served when Lenin had before him
man with whom he was entirely I'M
acquainted, at whom he took a rapid
glance through his fingers while they
rested on the peak Of his cap. Lenin's
defective sight" consisted in his see
ing through and through the man with
whom he conversed; through his
pulled up self-conceit, his narrow
mindedness. his civilized haughtiness
and civilized ignorance, and after he
had taken this picture into his con-
seriousness, he long afterwards shook
his head and exclaimed what Phil
slime! What a thoroughbred petty
bourgeois!"
The conversation took place in the
presence of Comrade Rothstein. and
Wells, in passing, makes the discov-

thirty years, as a politician and writ
er, but in his conversation with the
English citizen. Il had been told"
continues Wells, that Lenin was very
fond of teaching, but he did not do
this with me-" How indeed could one
teach gentleman so overfilled with
high self-estimation?
That Lenin loved to teach is, in gen
eral, not true. What is true is that
Lenin was able to speak in a very in
structive manner. But he only did
this when he was of the opinion that
the man with whom he was convers-
ing was capable of learning some
thing. In such cases he spared neither
time nor pains. But as regards the
magnificent CULVER, who by good
study of the small man." after two
or three minutes conversation with
him, Lenin was forced to arrive at
the unshakeable conviction = per-
chance in the spirit of the inscription
over the portal of Dante's Inferno
Abandon all hope!"
The conversation dealt with the sub
ject of large towns. AS Wells re
marks, the idea first occurred to him
in Russia that the outward aspect of
a town is determined by the trade in
the shops and in the markets. He re-
tailed this discovery to Lenin in his
conversation. Lenin admitted" that
under Communism the towns are be
coming considerably smaller in ex-
tent. Wells pointed out" to Lenin
that the renovation of the towns en-
tailed gigantic work and that many
huge buildings in Petrograd only re-
tanned their value as historical mem
orials. Lenin also assented to this
Incompatible commonplace on the
part of Mr.. Wells. ut seemed to me-"
adds the latter, that it was agree
able to him to be able to speak with
a man who understood those unavoid-
able consequences of Collectivism
