COMRADES. we know that Marxism
- and especially Leninism, which is
the Marxism Of our times, has given
us the theory OF world revolution
This theory has been sufficiently
elaborated and can serve as a guide
for the entire work of the Communist
international But there are two
problems, the solution of which is
not contained in the theory itself, for
by their very nature these problems
can only be solved on the basis of his
torical experience.
These problems at present form the
center of all Communist work.
Firstly, it is a question Of the tempo
Of the proletarian revolution, of the
rapidity OF its development generally.
OF its date. Secondly, it is a question
OF line Of march. of it's political geog-
raphy.
Comrades, it seems to me that these
two decisive questions sum up the
tactical problems Of the recent past,
OF the present day and probably Of
the near future.
A S to the tempo. the terms of the de-
development Of the proletarian revo-
luton, the experience not only Of the
Comintern, but also OF the First In
ternational and OF the entire work Of
such people as Marx and Lenin show
us how difficult Il was not to make
any mistakes in this respect. On the
strength OF the experience which we
already possess we have realized how
cautious we must deal with the ques-
ton OF the exact dates OF the world
revolution, and how frequently and
easily reYolutionists can make mis-
talDes, because Of their but too nat
ural impatience when they nx dates.
n n no wonder therefore II in TINS
respect not only Lenin but also Marx
made mistakes.
And now A. 10 the question OF the
line OF march OF the world proletar-
ian revolution. I think that in this
respect It Ia only now that we realize
for the frst time the peculiar din
oulties OF this problem Let Us take
for instance, tho socialist revolution
in Russia: II was a great surprise
even to many Msrxists that social
revolution had taken place Just IN
Russia. There were very few people
who believed In such a possibility
even among the supporters OF the left
wing OF the international labor move
ment. After tho victory OF the Rus.
sian revolution we all agreed that

International Prospects and BOISheVizatiOn

Germany would be the next country to
which revolution will spread from
Russia, and that after that it will
spread thruout Europe.
ONLY now, ten years after the out
Obreak of the imperialist war, six
years after its conclusion and almost
eight years after the revolutionary
outbreak in Russia, after all the strug-
giles which took place during these
years in Europe, that the question u
raised and raised very insistently
whether this view was correct Of the
further line of march Of the prole-
tartan revolution, whether it is the
only possible way, the only possible
geographical extension of the world
revolution. Is it absolutely necessary
for the revolution to spread to Eu-
rope thru Germany? Is it not pos
sible that here too we can make mis-
takes in foreseeing the route? Com
rades, it seems to me that with
respect to this question we must not
cling too closely to our former views
for fear of respecting on a larger
scale what Brandler did on a small
scale when he wanted to begin the
German revolution in Saxony at any
price. 1t can happen that the future
route will not necessarily be thru
Germany-in the first instance. We
must consider the other possibilities.

Lenin on the Connection Between
the Russian and the lnterna-
tlonal Revolution

A T the Third Congress Of the Com.
Aintern, Comrade Lenin expressed
the following views on the interna,
tional situation and the connection be
tween the Russian and international
resolution:
when we, (that is, the Russian
G. ~ began the international revo-
luton. we did not do it because we
were convinced that we could ac-
celerate its development, but be-
cause a whole series OF circum-
stances induced us to begin this
revolution. We thot: either the in
ternational revolution will come TO
our aid, and then all our victories
will be safeguarded, or we will do
our own modest revolutionary work
with the conviction that in the event
OF defeat we would after all do
good service TO the revolutionary
cause, and that other revolutions
will profit by our experience. We
fully realized that without the sup
port OF the international world
revolution, a victory OF the prole-
tartan revolution is impossible.
Already previous to the revolu-
ton in the other countries. in the
capitalist and more developed coun-
tries will break out Immediately, or
at least very soon, otherwise we
must perish.

'Negro World" Prints

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE great
interest taken by the Negro workers
in the struggles of the Workers (Com-
munis) Party in their behalf is again
reflected in the. articles devoted to
the DAILY WORKER and the Work
ers Party in the Negro World, official
organ of the Universal Negro I'm
provement Association, mouthpiece of

ment.
The Negro World prints in full the
manifesto of the central executive
committee of the Workers Party
which calls for a united front of all
Negro and white workers to fight for
the right Of Negro workers to organ
lie. The statement points out that
Carney at the New York convention
Of his association, truckIed to the ku

movement is policy of retreat and
will not emancipate the American
Negroes who have made the United
States their home.

was imprisoned BY the government in
an attack on Negro working class or
