former workers, development of antag
onisms between proletariat and bour-

finally the policies of the Communists
This one from here has not yet been
submitted for adoption; but l think
nothing is contained in it against our
views
This last sentence seems to indicate
that Engels' draft made for the Lon
don conference is that same one pre-
pared by him for the Partisan league.
while the first part of the letter sug-
gests that there was an understanding
between the two friends to make in
dividual drafts for the London gather
ing and that the form of catechism
should be followed by both.
The Principles Of Communism"
herewith published for the first time
in English evidently represents the
draft Of Engels. The manuscript
written in German was found among
Engels' posthumous papers.
We know now the final and CLASH
cal form which the program Of the
Communists took when it was pub
lished ultimately as the Communist
Manifesto" However, the world fame
that this document has achieved does
not in the least lessen the value Of
the Engels' draft.

wish to say with emphasis that, what
ever may be the views Of Mr.. Pollitt,
every effort should be made to see
that he receives elementary justice
in precisely the same way that every
citizen has right to claim. If hooli-
gans are to be allowed the privilege
of physical force while other citizens
are to be condemned for merely adj
vocating the same thing, a very
serious position arises, in which very
wide public issues are involved. l
do not know what legal remedy is now
open to Mr.. Pollitt as against this
Ubiquitous verdict, but certainly be-
lieve no means should be left untried
to obtain reversal of the same. II

Inspiration for the Struggle

1t to the affiliated clubs for discussion.
This draft also reached Paris, where
Moses Hess, philosophical social
list, made what he thought were i'm
provements and prevailed upon the
Paris club to accept this document.
But in later meeting the decision
was reversed. Engels writes about the
incident in letter to Marx, dated
November, 10, 1S47:
II have played an internal trick on
Most Moses Hess). He had forced
thru a ludicrously improved 'Confes-
sion Of Faith Last Friday took it
up in our circle and criticized ques-
ton after question. Before had gone
thru half Of them our people declared
themselves satisfied. Without opposi-
ton I then had a motion passed in
structing me to draft a new one"
Meantime a congress had been call
ed of the League of Communists
to meet in London on November 80,
1S47. The purposes of the gathering
were to work out a constitution for
the league and to adopt a program.
In preparation for this, Marx who
came to London for this congress
from Brussels. and Engels, who repre-
sented the group Of Paris, had written
separate drafts of such a program
Engels evidently had used as a basis
for this draft the one that he had pre-
pared in compliance with the instruc-
tons given by the Paris league. On
November "a, 1S47, Engels wrote to
Marx:
you had better consider this Con
fession of Faith somewhat. think

it's sentences stands out like a work
of art hewn in granite. Altho a docu-
ment prepared for the political strug-
giles Of the hour of its publication and
tho dealing with problems character
istic Of period long past, the mani
festo is not only historic document
but also timely source of inspiration
for the struggles of today.
The draft of Engels is a manuscript
written on the spur of the moment
and was never put into final form for
publication. Yet we find in it a clear
outline of the ideas and gems of his
torical analysis in which the nantes
to excells. The Engels' draft is proof
that the Communist Manifesto is truly
the result Of the combined efforts Of
thhe great intellectual heroes Of scien-
tific Communism: Marx and EngeIs.
The draft, as contained in the dis
covered manuscript is not complete.
Question No. 8 is unanswered. Cues
tions twenty-five and twenty-three are
answered with a remark referring to
an earlier manuscript, and as no such
manuscript could be found, these ques-
lions remain unanswered. For the
sake Of completeness we will supply
in an appendix, answers to these ques-
tons based upon the writings of Fred
erich Engels or from the Communist
Manifesto.
For the convenience Of the readers,
and to make possible a clear under
standing, number of explanatory
notes have been prepared and printed
in the appendix. Clarifying interjec-

are supplied by the translator.

nails and strips cases automatically.
While working at this machine nv
mate threw on the power accidently
whereupon the trigger which drives
the nails began to shoot out nails. |

my thumbs hurt anad barely escaped
losing them entirely.
The other worker obeying the slay-

to stop the machine and as a result
OF his attempt to save his masters
property, lost his right hand and the
ring finger of his left hand. He "a

American labor officials of the Will

That's the vital difference.

~ Err carried a story of the kidnap-
ing of Harry Pollit, leader of the Brit
ish Minority Movement, by a gang of
fascist. The minority movement in
England is the prototype of the Trade
Union Educational League in the
United States. When Pollit's kid
napers were brot TO trial they were
acquitted by the court despite over
whelming evidence that they had yio-
lated the law which the British ruling
class is supposed to be SO particular
about. This miscarriage OF Justice"
so outraged British labor that even a
reactionary like c. T. Cramp, indus
trial general secretary OF the National
Union of Railwaymen, wrote to the
London Daily Herald protesting
against the verdict.

The Kaiser Is Next?

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is at last
installed president of the German republic. The
leader of the kaisers armies during the most crit
cal period of the world war, now occupies the wing
in the imperial palace where the "Iron Chancellor
Bismarck once made his plans to forge the scat
tered states into the empire which staked its exist
ence on the flash of the sword in 1914.
Hindenburg, one of the kaisers closest friends,
sits in the chair vacated by the traitor Ebert.
There is nothing now left of the German republic
but its name. The monarchists are not acting
precipitately They have probably read the history
of the French revolution to good advantage. Hin
denburg can play the role of 'First Consul" for
while and gradually prepare the masses for the
return of the Hohenzollernsg
Democrats, socialists, centrists, catholics, ma
tionalists and fascists-al join in paying tribute
to the sterling character" of Won Hndenburg.
Only the Communists provide genuine opposi-
ton. No sooner was Hindenburg elected than the
Communists issued an appeal to the followers of
the socialist party to join in united front cam
paign against mOnarchism and its allies. Against
the dictatorship of the capitalists and their Hin
denburgs, Marks and Brauns, the Communists
advanced the slogan of a workers and peasants
government.
Hindenburg may prove to be the entering wedge
for the return of the kaiser to the throne The so
claldemocrats have succeeded in demoralizng the
German masses sufficiently to make the restora-
ton probable success. For generations led to
believe that the socialists once in power would
prove real government of the toilers the German
workers learned that Ebert and his gang were but
the servile tools of big capital. In their despera
ton large number of them turned to the mon
archists.
This is the result of the social-democratc policy
in Germany. They have betrayed the workers and
betrayed the republic, which was never anything
but the tool of the capitalist and landowning
classes. Ebert kept the president chair warm for
Won Hindenburg The latter will hold his seat
until the kaiser turns it into a throne
The only party in Germany today that carries
the banner of the class war against collaboration
with capitalism and monarchism is the Communist
Party 1t has not yet secured the leadership over
majority of the workers. But its propaganda
and the conditions forced on the German workers
by their masters will accomplish that aim.

AS stated above there were L.
284 people who took advantage ct
the Public Health work and were
given protection, Sept. 1925.
And for September, 1924, 42l
people took advantage of the public
health work. So the results are un-
mlstakable. One preventable dis
ease this year with many taking
treatment, IS preventable diseases
last September, with few taking
treatment.
THE Health Department does
not deserve all the credit for this
slowing and it is only mentioned to
encourage the cooperation of the
public in taking advantage of an
opportunity that is before them. At
no time has the health department
refused protection but unless they
come and are interested enough to
take protection results cannot be
gotten. So we urge every active
citizen of Sumter County and every
office holder of the county to as
sist us in giving the people of this
county the greatest protection DOS
