party tasks create the need for
deep-rooted propaganda. Similarly
with out position in the parties. The
reorganization of the parties on the
basis of shop nuclei, requires propa-
ganda which is deeply rooted in the
masses. The new generation of party
functionaries must receive feminist
education.
With the sole exception of the Com.
munist Party of Russia, the aflrarian,
peasant and nationality questions have
not been worked out theoretically at
all. feminist propaganda is a guar
anty. against the danger of losing the
revolutionary perspective In the
sense of right opportunism on the one
hand; sand- against isolation from the
masses in the sense of left opportun-
ism on the other. Russian experience
is an essential part of Leninism, and
must. be applied dialectically, just as
Lenin in the year 1902 applied Ger
man and French experiences to Rus
STA, not mechanically but dilectically
The differentiation of Russian ex.
perience for each country is necessary
feminist propaganda is still in the
stage of agitation; it must, however
be developed into real mass 1ropa-
ganda. A very praiseworthy begin
ming has been made by the Commun.
list Party of France in establishing a
Lenin school, and by the British Com
munist Party. in opening an elemen-
tary school.
For Central Party Schools.
The first great difficulties consisted
in combining propaganda with daily
problems and organizational forms.
Another deficiency is the lack Of Len,
mist literature in the most important
languages. In the near future the
works of Lenin will be published in
German, French and partly in English.
The main task in feminist propa-
ganda is the characterization of Len.
inism, so that theoretical knowledge
may not become the monopoly of the
leadership, as it the case in the Sec
ond International. Our most impor-
tant task is the education Of the party
members to real Communism thru
elementary schools of Leninism. The
feminist education of the functionar-
les is very important because every
one draws his theology from his social
surroundings.
No less important is the creation of
central party schools in the biggest
parties and the establishing of interna-
tional courses in Leninism. Ideologi-
cal Bolshevization and the acquisition
of Leninism IS an important factor OF
Bolshevization :. (Applause.)

The destruction of the proletarian
organizations and the Improvisation
of the petty bourgeoisie, renders the
struggle for partial demands particu-
larly important. Fascism was unable
to consolidate its own organizations,
and as a social phenomenon, fascism
is gradually disappearing.
That is why the bourgeoisie desires
decentralization, lie. a mixture of de.
mocracy and fascism; which in other
words means: the alliance of the
petty bourgeoisie with big capital.
The maximalists are playing as
treacherous part as the left social
democrats in Germany. They are sup.
porting the reformists with whose aid
they hope to form labor party. The
intensification Of the agrarian crisis
offers the basis for the creation OF
workers and peasants committees.
This complex situation gave rise to
two deviations. The right elements
believe in normalization; this consti-
tutes no serious danger, since the
party rejects this view. The leftists
on the other hand, think it possible
to overthrow fascism by a frontal at
tack.
Bordiga is doctrinaire and is unable
to adapt the elastic feminist dialec-
tics to the given concrete situation.
Bordiga does not realize that the party
must live and fight among and with
the masses, and not alongside of
them. Althp Bordiga recognizes the
feminist policy of the Comintern in
theory, he combats it in practice.
Bordiga's absence from the central
committee increases the danger of
fractions. Fascism was a good lesson
for the Italian Communist Party, and
accelerated its Bolshevization.
At the evening session Of March %,
Comrade Domsky spoke: The stabili.
cation is not as secure as the bour-
geoisie believes it to be. When Radek
and Brandler claimed the victory of
fascism, they attempted to hide their
opportunist tactics. Already the bour-
geoisie thinks it can rule without the
aid of the social-democrats. The
Communists must not share the illus
ions Of the bourgeoisie. Permanent
sterilization is out of the question
The convention of the Polish Com
munist Party made it clear that the
consolidation is giving rise to new
conflicts and is rapidly revolutioniz.
ing the peasantry. A great influx of
new members is to be observed in
the independent peasants party of
Poland. In the border regions there
is a revolutionary mass movement.

There are $4,000 reserve officers in training in

Frances Frenzied Finance

The lid is off in France and the resulting odOr is
anything but pleasant to the ruling class
The Bank of France has been doing little coun-
terfeiting, it mere trife of 2,000,000,000
francs over the legal limit has been issued and
without the legalizing of its action the currency
is just so much waste paper. The director of the
Institution threatens to close up shop unless the
government stands back of him. 1t appears that
the committee which acts in a supervisory capacity
refused to sign the banks statement unless the
excess circulation was admitted, but with the aid
Of Herriot the matter was patched up. 1t I'M
derstood that the premier would issue a decree
legalizing the imitation, but his advisers informed
him that this procedure illegal. Before vote
of the chamber the question could be secured
the Herriot cabinet fell.
Unless the 2,OOO,OOO,OO francs worth of paper
are given some sort of a legal camOufage before
the regular statement of the bank is due on Thurs
day, French exchange will take bad tumble
The entire affair, which would never have seen
the light of day had it not been for the cabinet
crisis, is Illuminating showing the thin ice on
which supposedly powerful governments skat-
ing in these parlOus times
Coupled with the sensation that the disclosures
have made is the anxiety due to the uncertain re
suit of the German elections. 1t is felt that the
position of France as the dominant power in con-
tinental Europe has been seriously weakened by
the exposure of the basic weakness of her finances
and that the German government whether mon
archst or republican, will be encouraged to make
new demands.
Even among the allied governments nominally
with France against Germany, there is to be heard
a note of satisfaction the ridiculous position
in which the bully of Europe is placed.
The House of Morgan is greatly pleased 1t feels
sure that the French government will have to ac-
cept any terms it cares to make for the new
financing necessary to the franc pending re-
turns from any taxation measures that will have
TO be introduced. 1t looks as tho French hegemOny
in Europe is definitely on the wane.
With the French government in pawn to the
House of Morgan it will be able to continue it's
support of vassal states and the plundering of
Germany only insofar as this fits in with the plans
Of American Imperialism for world control.

This number has later been swelled
to nine among whom were also social
democratic workers. Hundreds of

verely wounded.
In the panic when the people were
rushing for the exits the pressure was
so great that the stairway leading

Gallagher Emphasizes Discipline.


Comrade Gallagher (England) en-
phasizes the necessity of discipline
which at the same time presupposes
self-discipline. The shop councils
constitute the basis for organizing
the workers in the. shops and factor
les. The anti-militaristic work is ur-
gent, for otherwise Comrade Smeral
and others may be surprised by a
crisis. The Czecho-Slovakian Com
munist, Party should bear in mind
that the deserters Of today are the
fascists Of tomorrow.
1t is the task of the Communists to
prevent the sterilization of capital.
The organization of the unemployed
is matter of primary Importance.
The trade unions must not be weak
ened. The demands of the unem-
ployed, the wage demands Of the
workers, the solution Of the housing
problem and the parliamentary strug-
gle must undermine capitalism.
The Comintern must study the stat
egg of the bourgeoisie. The speaker
is of the opinion that the sterilization
process had it's roots in the betrayal
Of the British miners strike.
The Eastern question demands
more attention. The workers must be
acquainted with the treachery of the
social-democratic trade union bu-
reaucracy. In England new revolu-
tionary wave is rising. We must
therefore create a strong Communist
Party. Our party must be deeply
rooted in the shops and factories; it
must carry on anti-militarist propas
ganda; it must seek an alliance with
the land; and neutralize the reserves
of the bourgeoisie. That is why the
British Communist Party accepts
zinoviev's theses on the Bolsheviza-
ton of the parties.

The Church Militant

There are two warning schools among the fol-
lowers of Christ tho it must be confessed neither
school walks the chalk line very strictly But in
the piping days of peace, section presents the
alleged founder of their creed as a man of peace
while another section dresses him up in the habilia
ments of war. Whatever position Jesus of Nazareth
took two thousand years ago. does not matter very
much today when the warning capitalist groups
clash over world markets or spheres of influence.
The preachers don the war paint at the point of
a gun. The capitalists will stand no nonsense from
their of god
A rather lively scrap has been causing some ex-
citement in the methodist church for the past year
or more The United States government, not being
engaged in war has allowed the scrimmage to pro-
coed more less unhindered excepting the atten-
tons of sundry stOolpigeons from the department
Of Justice who take note of the pacifst leaders with
view to filling Jail cells, when we proceed to
eliminate the 'yellow peril" or some other menace
TO our ''liberties"
But Wall Street has its caucus in the methodist
church. Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes is one of them.
In an address before the American Legion in a
local hotel few days ago, he denounced those who
were attacking the militaristic and imperialistic
policy of the United States. He scored the resolu-
ton presented TO a methodist conference a year
ago denonncing war IF the occasion were to
arise again j am sure that would do as did dur
ing the last war" said the bishop.
No doubt the pious would stand on the side lines
and cheer the cannon fodder on its way to stop
bullets so that bishops capitalists and other para
sites might enjoy the hostilities from a safe dis
sdnce. This was his service in the late war. The
prospective cannon fodder need not look TO the
church for a solution of the war evil 1t must look
to its own organizations, industrial and political.
And it must abolish the capitalist system before
peace becomes more than empty dream.

The colonial peoples are striking, demonstrating,
rejecting British-made laws, and fighting British
troops. There is no longer any period in which all
colonial troubles liquidated was the case be-
fore the world war.
The black and yellow races have caught the
spirit Of revolt and their struggles link up with
those of the white workers in the imperialist ma
tons. For the first time in history there is a
genuine world revolutionary movement, for the
first time the workers of all races are actually
fighting capitalism side by side.
Is it any wonder that world capitalism hates and
