STOCKHOLM. Sweden, June IL
Communist plans for organizing world
revolution are given in detail in
Russian communist paper, Militarism
lJnd the Revolution, which recently
fell into the hands of the Stockholm
T'idningen. In this paper is civil
war code" dealing with preparations
for revolution in countries where in
dustry is highly developed.
There are six chapters. The first
lays down general principles; the Sec
ond deals with general organization
and the third with the organization
of "storming columns" and militia
sections. The fourth chapter tells
how arms and ammunition are to be
obtained. Chapter five details the un-
derground campaigns that are to be
maintained to insure the demoraliza-
tion of armies and the police. Finally
come the general plan for armed re-
volt.
When a revolution is being planned
q central committee of three-not
more-is to be chosen and given full
control. The three must be con-
WINGED communists, and preferably
they should have some military
knowledge.
Make All Wars Civil Wars.
The first task is to organize the
groups that are to do the actual fight
ing. All members of the communist
party able to bear arms are to be
brought into these groups. Each
group is to consist of 10 members,
who are to meet in secret for sys-
tematic training in the use of arms
and in espionage. One object of the
fighting groups is to convert all com
ing wars into civil wars
OVerelabOrate military instruction
is not to be attempted. The groups
are to be taught how to conduct the
simplest kind of warfare, more par
ticularly street fighting, fighting at
night and attempts by sudden coups
TO capture the bourgeois positions.
II will be remembered that this sur
prise method was the one attempted
without success in the communist
'pusch" in Reval last December.
How are the arms and ammunition
to be obtained? All means are per-
mitted and should be used the in
structionS state. Communist cells
that is, secret grOups-should be
formed in arsenals, exact detils should
be obtained about the stock of the
private gun stores in the locality, and
arms should be brought in from
abroad. Men should be planted" in
industrial enterprises to appropriate
explosives from them. Suchs explo-
sives are most likely to be found in
iron ore and coal mines
Advises Making of Bombs.
The explosives thus obtained are to
be turned in part into Internal ma
chimes. Gas shells are to be manu-
featured secretly in the homes of
members of the party. Care is to be
taken to supply the man working in
his home with such quantities that
the material will not arouse suspicion,
hut yet sufficient to enable the differ
ent workshops to manufacture on a
large scale in case of mobilization.
An interesting section deals with
the methods to be used to demoralize
armies and the police so that when
they are called upon to defend the
bourSeoise they will turn against them
In the interest of the communists
One significant instruction is that fe-
male members of the communist par
extent possible. Party members as
signed to armies or police by the com
mittee of three are to do everything
possible to prevent soldiers and police
from obeving orders if sent out TO
tight workmen and peasant in revolt.
Always Making Propaganda.
In case of declaration of war the
communist cells" are to aim at trans.
NiyDrp Ia

ly tell them that they must not shrink
from any possibility of making propa.
ganda. They are especially directed
TO get in touch with men who have
been unwillingly recruited under com.
pulsory service schemes. They are
TO do everything to promote fraterni.
zation with the enemy. and commun-
lists are to be enlisted in the ranks
on both sides to promote this fra.

The final instructions detail the

communist term for murder, as "ex.
