Ridiculous Predictions of Russo-Japanese War

His argument defeats his prediction.
Since America as a monetary power.
is the center of capitalist regime, and
since a conflict resulting in war will
be unavoidable because of expansion
of capitalism, war is only possible
where there is the inferiority complex
OF bourgeois capitalism. There can
not be any conflict in Manchuria so
long as Russia is governed by work
ers and peasants.
In spite of Soejima,s wish which
was father to the prediction, Russia
will stand afoot helping the poor over
populated workers of Japan and unite
the workers in both countries not only
against Japanese aristocrats and CAPT.
talists, but also and equally success
fully against the American bourgeois
money makers.

mer season for Saturday, May 80, from

rain, there will be no rain for three
days before and after the picnic.
BY all means the comrades are re-
quested to secure their lunch tickets
at the party or the Freiheit office.
Two hundred comrades have already
agreed not to take any lunch along
which assures everyone a large var,
iety Of wholesome and fresh refresh
ments.

GERMAN SCAB
ORGANIZATION
SEES TROUBLE.
Dawes Plan Will Make
More Strikes, it Says

BERLIN, May 27.-So bitter is the
exploitation Of labor under the Dawes
plan and so little hope of improvement
in its condition is there, that the
league Of German industrialists are
planning to continue their technical
emergency aid" organization Of strike
breakers and are urging that the gov
eminent also continue its support Of
the plan.
The league of German industrialists
is an organization Of business men
and clerks which acts as a strike
breaking organization whenever any
labor dispute threatens to tie up any
industry.
This precious lot Of scoundrels
shrewdly foresee as they say, that
as the Dawes plan obligations in
crease, there may be renewed radical
outbursts among the masses and it
then would be doubtful whether the
German trade union leaders could
live up to their promise to keep the
industrial life of the country going
at the necessary pace"

to value the good such What the left
independents gave us. The left indie

other hand they had such serious
weaknesses that they were only able
to overcome their defects after a
series Of crises. We must learn how
to unite under the banner of revolu-

that the Communist movement rose
up on the backs Of several preceding
generations, generations who had both
their weak and their strong sides.
The Communist International did not
appear in the world all Of sudden.
1t stands upon the foundation con-
structed by the revolutionaries of
former generations. The. great pupil
of Marx, .Lenin, carefully studied the
theory and practice of the former gen.
erations of revolutionaries and trained
the young generation in a spirit of
reverence towards the historical ex-
ploits which prepared the soil for the
Communist International. Lenin al
ways pointed out the lessons which
we owe to the success and the failure,
of those who fought before us. Com
munism began not in 1919, not at the
moment of the foundation of the Com
munist International, but much earli-
er; it has glorious and spacious
past We must acquaint ourselves
with that past, we must study it; that
is often neglected by us. In this re-

revolutionary development has it's
good sides, since we are taking adj

IRON WORKERS SUE
UNION SECRETARY FOR
$4,000 STOLEN FUNDS

Structural and Ornamental Iron
workers has filed suit against Harry
Jones, former general secretary
treasurer Of the union, to compel
him to account for, the petition says,
"a sum in excess Of $4,000" of
union funds. Jones was general
seeretary-treasurer from March 4,
1918 until April rs, 1925 at which
time he was ousted from office and
expelled from union membership
when, 1t ls alleged, he was found

Count Soejima, one of the agents

that a Russo-Japanese war will take

former cars ambitious army was de-
feated and that defeat, he said, caused
the 1905 revolution.
Regarding the relations between
America and Japan, he said Japan was
more friendly to America because of
economic interests linking both coun-
tries together. America is a customer
for Japan and the world financial CEN

International Prospects a

must, however, frankly state that
| even in Russia there are certain
Marxists who express similar ideas to
that of 1.-THE only French Marxist,"
Charles Rappaport
r THINK the matter is clear to the
Enlarged Executive. The Plenum
understands why we lay emphasis on
the Importance Of Lenin. Lenin is
unthinkable without Marx. Lenin
was Marks pupil Leninism is the
true undistorted Marxism of our
epoch. When the Second Interna-
ii mai had mutilated Marxism until il
was unacceptable and began to drag
his banner in the mire, true Marxism
remained living only in Leninism, and
that is why the bolshevization of the
parties must be carried out on the
basis of Leninism. That is the idea
we have given expression to in our
theses. We shall carry it further both
in theory and in practice. We are far
from wishing to renounce the glorious
traditions of the First international
and the many, truly valuable, tradi-
tons even of the Second Information
al. 1t is unthinkable, for instcnce
that French Communist should not
know Guesdes and Lafargue, that
Russian Bolshevik should know Pick
hanov only as an opportunict, and not
know that Plekhanov was once the
teacher of Lenin; or that German
Communist should forget the valuable
contributions made by social democ.
racy in to the earlier revolutionary
period of its activities. We will not
surrender to the present social DEM
ocrats the Wilhelm Liebknecht and
the Bebel Of the time of the @excep-
tional law against the socialists"
That which is truly Marxism in the
revolutionary traditions of the old
Polish democrats must also be care
fully preserved as a valuable histori-
cal heritage. The same should be
said of the "Spartacus Bund." But it
would be profound error to regard
all the Spartacists as finished leaders.
whom 1t is inconvenient for instance
to ask how they regard the Saxon

Civil Liberties
Fights for Civil
Trial for Crouch

NEW YORK, May 27.-Following
the recommendation of Major Gen.
William R. Smith that the prison
sentences of 40 and 26 years against
Private Paul Crouch and Private
Walter Trumbull by court martial at
Honolulu for their Communist beliefs
be reduced to 8 and l years respect
lively, the American Civil Liberties,
Union announces that efforts are
being made to bring the cases into the
civil courts.
John Albert Matthewman, former
encouragement of the territory and
Judge in the local courts, has been re-
tanned to open the case in the civil
courts. 1--WE are trying to take these
cases out Of the hand of the military
authorities because we believe that
these men did not have a fair trial
and the civil courts ought to review
it" the union declares.
The ground on which it is expected
to carry the case into the civil courts
is that the military court erred in pro-
nouncing> sentence that was itself
in violation of the 42nd article of war.
This article provides that no person
shall be sentenced to Imprisonment
in federal or military prison by any
court martial unless the offense with
which he is charged is punishable by
Imprisonment for at least one year
under the civil laws Of the state. Even
II Crouch and Trumbull were guilty of
forming secret society in violation
of the territorial statute, as was char
ged at their trial, the maximum sent
ence that could be imposed upon them
under the civil code would be three
months.

COMRADES! The whole question of
~ bolshevization must be treated
on the basis of Leninism. What Len
inism is and with what fresh conclu-
sions it has enriched the theory Of
Marxism generally we have set forth
in detail in our theses.
am obliged to admit that not all
our comrades correctly understand
the relation between Marxism and
Leninism. I hold in my hands state
ment by a French comrade who,
partly in jest, calls himself the only
French Marxist. | am referring to
Charles Rappaport. 1t concerns a pas
sage in the speech which he delivered
at the last congress of the French
party. This is how the Humanite of
January 10 reports this passage:
MANY comrades fail to understand
the real meaning of bolshevization,
Rappaport declared. He expressed
regret" the paper went on to say,
that tendency was to be observed
to substitute Marxism by Leninism."
Rappaport complains that there is
tendency to substitute Marxism by
Leninism!" In other words "the only
French Marxist" believes that we
want to replace Marxism by Leninism.
We recently heard the same state
ment from the mouth of Friedrich Ad-
Ter. Adler says that a tendency is
growing up in the Communist Inter
national to refer more and more rare
ly to Marxism and to speak more and
more frequently of Leninism. Fried
rich Adler regards this as evidence of
our renunciation of Marxism. When
Adler tells such fables we are very
little affected. But it is very sad when
they are told by our own comrades.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-05-29

I win them over to our side. Those
workers must be re-educated, we must
make them revolutionaries, true Len
inists, Bolsheviks.
THE pace Of the revolution has
1 slackened. But we must not use
it as justification or explanation of
our own faults and defects and Of our
theological inertia, or to justify the
fact that the social democratic tradi-
tons have not yet been extirpated.
The workers who have come over
from the social democrats to the Com
munist Party are excellent proleta-
rians. Even in Brunn in all probable
ity, the workers are in SO cases out of
100 earnestly devoted to Communism
and to the Communist International.
But they are being perverted by men
who have in fact remained social DEM
ocrats and who are confusing window
smashing with revolution. We must
say that If we are obliged Ito break
a window pane or two of these on
portunists, we shall do it with pleas
ure.
In conclusion, comrades, let me say
the following: Our policy on the
whole remains the same, and we our
selves shall remain true to our cause.
To adapt ourselves to a new situation. I
while remaining true to Marxism, is
not opportunism. 1t is the revolution
airy duty of a Communist. The path
to victory is a long one. The path
to the world revolution is a far one
to go. We once thought that in five
years or so our aim would be achieved.
We set out on our journey, but soon
realized that the path was far more
stony and thorny than we at first
thought. We had to remove the stones
and pull out the thorns, we had to
overcome obstacle after obstacle and
at times to retreat and prepare for a
fresh sally. We became convinced
that there are still great obstacles to
overcome. Well, We shall overcome
them. But the direction remains the
same: our will remains as unshakable
as our aim is great We shall sue
coed in removing the stones and the
thorns from our path, we shall clear
the road and we shall achieve the
aim which lends profundity and mag
nificent purpose to our fight. We shall
achieve Communism! (Stormy ap-
piause.) (Conclusion.)

Australian Labor
Party Demands More
Than Minimum Wage

MELBOURNE, Australia, May 81
At the annual conference Of the
Victoria state branch of the Au-
stralian Labor Party, held at Mel
bourne last month there was an ami
mated discussion regarding the fixa-
ton of wages. Delegates demanded
the amendment of all legislation deal
ing with wages, to provide that they
should be assessed and paid 'in ac-
cordance with the values created by
labor"
After discussion, the following reso-
luton was agreed to:-"That it be an
instruction to the parliamentary labor
party, when in power, to amend all
acts dealing with wages, to provide
that, in addition to the adjustment of
the minimum standard of comfort in
accordance with the standards of the
time, the increasing productivity Of in
dustry must also be considered with
a view to the workers sharing in any
increased prosperity"

Forward In Spite Of all Difficult
ties and Obstacles.

| COMRADES, we were obliged to re
~ cord a number Of not very pleas.
ant facts and were obliged to admit
many defeats and faults. We must
look the truth in the face We just
admit that the question of the period
of the revolution is liable to re-ex-
animation. We formerly used to
count the time in months; now we
are obliged to count in years.
We must definitely say that in GER
tain countries all immediate revolu-
tionary situation is still not existent.
We must realize that we are entering
upon phase of protracted and stub
born work in the way of bolshevizing
our parties. Leninism does not fall
from heaven.
We are faced with a serious fight
against right dangers. The slogan Of
bolshevization in fact was advanced
in the fight against right tendencies.
And in future too it will mainly be a
fight against right and of course
against Observation-Disclosures and
against the backsliding, which is max
ing itself felt in many places. 1t Is
enough to cite the instance Of Brunn.
1t is possible that similar manifesto
tons are revealing themselves in
other countries. That, in view of the
slackening down of the pace of revo-
lutionary developments, is now to be
expected. In many of our parties the
majority consists of the mass which
came over to us from the social dem
ocratic organizations. That factor and
its consequence is making itself par
ticularly felt in Czecho-Slovakia.
where 70 per cent of the party mem
bers are former social democrats. The
proportion, l think, it is same in the
German party, and in many other
parties. OF course, we should be
proud of the fact that we are break
Ing up the social democratic parties
and we are attracting the workers
away from them. We shall continue
to sever the workers from the social
democrats. But it is not enough to
