TO eLoPE-oR NOT TO ELoPE, AT 1872

You have lot of good I'm coming to
you yet before you accept the respon
sibilities of marriage. When you
have had years of happy .girlhood-
carefree gaiety when you are able
mentally and physically to consider
the responsibilities of being wife
and mother then, and not before,
are you old enough to marry. Do you
think it is fair or unselfish of Billy
to ask you to give up your own
youth and sit at hOme-a married
woman--waiting for him to graduate
and give you home of your own?
And if you do marry him-and find
at the end of four years-that he
does not love you-then who is to
blame? Married life lasts a great
deal longer than youth. Why make it
longer?
Elopements are dangerous, Marie,
and as a general thing, are not con-
ductive to happiness, even when
those clipping are not impetuous
youngsters. The wedding day be-
longs to the girl-and her memories
of the marriage should be bright,
cheerful and happy The wedding
should be sacred and beautiful, not
merely a legal form. 1t should inspire
both the girl and the man with a
e. Jox 10, n inn ,F "a NJ
they undertake and memories of an
ugly little office, with an Indifferent
Justice of the Peace officiating, and
curious strangers acting as witnesses
are not particularly inspiring. In af-
ter years, it has the appearance OF
being tawdry and furtive.
When Billy has completed his edu-
cation-able financially to undertake
the responsibilities of marrage-an
the new Billy and Marie still love
each other-then get married, and
share your happiness with your par
ents and your friends. Start your
new life without haste or confusion,
and it will always be DeautlIul mem
DRY.
You are only eighteen, Marie, and
it may be that you will be in love
several times before finally marry
ing. The fact that you wrote for ad-
vice shows that you are not quite
sure that you are right-or that you
are justified in disobeying your par
ents. Talk it over with Billy and try
to make him understand your view
point. Second thought never hurt
any one. And in later years when
you are happily married with mem
cries of gloriously happy wedding
day, you will realize that mother oh
iections were wise and justified.

OLD TIME INSURANCE VERSE

The following paragraph is taken
from an insurance journal of sixty
years ago: An English paper states
that the following lines were inscrib-
ed about the year TIT over the door
of one of the earliest established in
surance offices:
Come all you jolly Britons, who love
your blooming wives,
Insure large sums on your precarious
lives;
SO that your widows may be rich
when your yourself are rotten;
And they may live in happiness when
you are quite forgotten"

euverlng and federating with the other
groups" This is what our federation
rank-and-filers say. Our membership
does not want the high sounding
phrases and useless talk about the
absolute and correct communIstic pol
Ieies. We know that the correctness
of all the policies of the labor move
ment is only relatively true and cor
rect. Then when some group of mem
bers talk that they are suitable ma
terial for the party leadership, be-
cause they are true Marxians, and
scientific analysists of the conditions,
honest, sincere, and characterize
themselves with all kinds of adiec-
tives, 1t reminds us of the controversy
we had in 1918 and IA, when we also
had such big headed members, who
were badly stricken with infantile
sickness and the leadership bug.
The amusing feature ABOUT this con-
troversy is that the minority Of the
party is so deadly against US, and de-
nounces us with very bitter terms

tile short cuts, which, In anal anaiy-
sis are mensheviki tactics pure and
simple, more simple than pure. We
fought against that policy, but when
cur party decided In favor of such an
adventure, like good Communists we
obeyed. And then when several un-
successful attempts were made and the
party with the aid Of the Comintern
finally rejected such policy, we were
delighted. And we hoped that ct last
our party has gotten over its men
shevism and leftism and begins to
work earnestly for Communism.
But our Joy was short lived. Our
party executive was split. A major
ity and minority began functioning
and theses after theses were given

icies, statements and facts for work

tacks appeared in our party organ

standing, so that they can settle ques-
lions, without foolishIy appealing to
higher party bodies on every little
question. Hesitation, indecision and
a vacilation policy is destructive and
must be done away with.

of organization, not so much that it
is practical, tried and true. but be-
cause theoretically it appears practic-
al and true and this must be shown.
4. We do not want the language fed

federation must remain Communistic
propaganda organizations, working in
under the theological
leadership of the Workers Party.
In conclusion, want to say that our
slanderers have no patent or copy
rights on Communism. They have
no exclusive rights on Communistic
understanding. They. as well as all OF
us, make errors. do not wish to
leave the impression that our fedora
ton has not made any errors. We
have made numbers of errors, but we
have also done something. Those
pure and good 'Marxians" that do not
do anything may remain free from
any human errors, but in my estima-
ton they are bum Communists.

BY JAMES p. CANNON.

Comrade Askeli's article follows the
two statements published by the Fin
nish Branch of Superior and is direct
ly related to them. The Central Ex-
ecutive Committee has declared that
these statements contained a non
Communist tendency and represented
the beginning Of an theological prepa-
ration for split in the Party. Com
rade Askelis article is another mani
Hesitation of this sentiment 1t shows
the same tendency in a clearer form
z and forces us to draw the conclusion
that it amounts to an attempt to sub
stitute program of his own for the
program of the Party and the Com
munist International. At the moment
when the serious Communist workers
are striving to unity their ranks on
the platform of the Communist Inter
nation, Comrade Askeli comes forward
with an attack on the Communist In
ternational. Such propaganda tends
to discredit the Communist Interna-
tional before the membership.
Comrade Askeli has presented a
platform without one sound Commun-
list plank in it. No one can accept
this platform without first throwing
away the platform of the Party and
the Communist International. The
loyal followers of the Communist In
ternational in the party, and espe-
cially those in the Finnish Federation,
have no choice but to take up at once
the most resolute struggle against the
political platform of Comrade Askeli.
The unity and integrity of the Party
demand such struggle.
Indictment Against the c. I.
The Communist International is the
most priceless acquisition Of the revo-
lutionary proIetariat of the world. The
authority of the Communist Interna-
ton is the surest guarantee that the
unity Of our party will be preserved
and strengthened, that disintegrating
opportunism will not be allowed to
get string foothold, that mistakes
will be corrected and that faltering
leadership will be assisted, strength
ened and equipped for its tasks. To
make breach between the party and
the Comintern is the aim of those ele-
ments in all countries who shrink
from the implications of policy of
determined revolutionary struggle.
Comrade Askeli is following a policy
which leads in this direction. His at
tack is directed first of all and above
all at the authority Of the Communist
International. He opposes in a more
or less direct way all the propositions
put before the Party by the Commun-
list International in its recent deci-
sions. He then unites his opposition
to the various specific proposals of the
Communist international into a COM
plete and systematic opposition with
the declaration that he wants a Cen
trail Executive Committee with suffi-
Client nerve" and responsibility" to
