length of articles, and choice of litera
ture to be reviewed. Whilst one and
the same question is dealt with in
three or four articles without any es'

cussed), other equally urgent matters
are not dealt with at all. Thus the
"Internationale' has for instance not
published one single article on the
fundamentals of the Bolshevization OF

lation of financial capital to trade
union bureaucracy and labor aristo-
cracy. The history of class warfare
shows that an theological capitulation
must be preceded by an economic
capitulation. If we follow Comrade
Fogarasi, we must thus arrive at the
conclusion that in England the rule
of financial capital has actually ceas-
ed to exist. Besides this, Comrade
Fogarasi's theory" implies of neces-
sity the continuation of the demo
cratic pacifist era" (thus super
Trotzkyism!) until the social revolu-

for the various specific forms in which
the democratic pacifist era" makes
itself felt in the different countries.
And finally, the sentence stating
that this parliamentary theological
form" is phenomenon likely to be
of decisive significance for the imme-
diate future" is in direct opposition
to the views held by the ,Comintern,
which characterized the democratic
pacifist era" at the fifth world con-
gress, as mere phase, and not by
any means as an epoch or era likely
to be of long duration,
WHILST the Comintern conceives

rope, as everywhere else, as the cul-
mination of the acutest aggravation
of the those class antagonisms aris-
ing out of increased imperialist reac-
ton (fresh wars and the like), Com
rade Fogarasi assumes that the labor
government is going to provide the
conditions for the dictatorship of the
proletariat and the social revolution.
He thus believes that a pacifist phase
endeavoring to smooth away class an
tagonism (even if the pacifism involv-
ed is a mere pseudo pacifism, incon-
sistent and incomplete) creates the
best preliminary conditions for the
proletarian revolution. This is
purely menshevist view, imagining
that the transition to seizure of pow
er by the proletariat can be carried
out by passing from stage to stage,
without a revolutionary rupture of
ruling class conditions.

In 1924-25, according to the plan for
the expectation of raw material of
the Central Asia Republics, the
amount of the products of cotton cul-
ture is about 76 per cent of the total
export from Central Asia. 1t may be
noticed that Central Asian cotton oil
was exported in fairly large quantities
abroad in the pre-war period.
The karakuI sheep-breeding.
Among other branches of produc-
ton of Central Asia, the breeding of
Karakul sheep is a branch of the
greatest importance. The principal
regions of this sort of sheep breeding
are Bukhara, two Turcoman areas,
formerly called Horeama (Khiva), the
southwestern part of Turkmenistan,
etc, the best sheep are the Bukhara
sheep. their high quality being above
competition.
In the year 192S-24, 1000 pieces Of
Karakul were obtained in Bukhara,
$4,000 pieces Of which were sent to
Persia and Arghanistan. In the year
1924-25, it is planned to collect $780,
600 pieces of Karakul, 100000 Of
which are intended for expectation

in the pre-war period, more than 1000
tons of wool were collected there.
However. the Bukhara wool is coarse
and its quality is lower than that of
Horesma and Kashgar.
silkworm Breeding.
The expectation of silk cocoons
from Central Asia amounted, before
the war, to six million rubles. At pres
ent, the silk cocoons exported from
Central Asia aggregate some so per
cent of the pre-war quantity. The
silk cocoons are to be exported to
Persia, Afghanistan, western China
and to central regions of the Soviet
Union.
Liquorce.
Liquorice has always been exported
from Central Asia mostly to America
The supplies of liquorice used for pre-,
paration of liquorice medicinal stuffs
amount to thousands of tons and arc
found on the banks of Amou-Daria.
In 1924-25, the crop is estimated
above 10000 tons, the greater part OF
this quantity being intended for ex
portation.
Wine and Fruits.
In 1925, the area occupied by or
chards amounts to 1912 dessiatinos
in Central Asia, or 81 per cent of the
pre-war area. The vineyards occupy
1892 des. or sc per cent of the pre-

tains purely journalistic criticism of
ton of the theological collapse of the
"Marxism" of Kautsky's followers,
that is, of the theology of the second
international. .Lukacs employs the
same methods of criticism as Foga-
rasi, leaving the reader in the dark as
to the actual purport of the book re-
viewed. A proper criticism of the
quoted, and subjected to a thoroly and
birthday celebration writings requir-
ed that striking passages should be

THE International" publishes no
L thing referring to important new
publications in the spheres of bour-
geois political economy, philosophy,
sociology, history, natural science,
and religion. Nothing, or at least
nothing Of value, in the way of en-
tightening criticism of that prostitu-
ton of Marxism which flourishes to-
Gay more arrogantly than ever before.
Bourgeois philosophy, natural science,
and religion are today more prone
than ever to mysticism. The bellies
letters and art of the bourgeois, it's
most powerful weapons for the cor
ruption of the mental powers of the
working masses, are scarcely accord
ed any notice whatever in the Inter
rationale"
Last but not least, it must be count
ed to be one of the greatest faults of
the "Internationale" that it preserves
silence on the subject of the many
so-called Communist" pseudo Marx
list publications sailing under the flag
of proletarian revolution. Such scan
dalous productions as Wittvogels
writings should be subjected to ami
hilating criticism in the information

sidered as a periodical working for
the Bolshevization of the German c..
P. This is literature of the worst pos
sible character A periodical cannot
agitate for Stains book on "Lenin
and Leninism' on the one hand, and
on the other hand for such un-Marx-
list publications as Korsch's "Quintes-
sence of Marxism"; Lukacs' works, or
Wittvogel's Celebrations. And it does
not suffice to preserve silence on the
subject. One path or the other must
be taken. The Herculean tasks con-
fronting the revolutionary proletarian
vanguard demands the best, the very
best only with regard to theory!
2. The "Internationale" is further
lacking in a systematic campaign of
protest against German social democ-
racy. 1t devotes too little attention
to the international problem of impe-
rialism as expressed in its concrete
successive stages, not only on the con-
tinent of Europe, but all over the
world %,sg

CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY)

(this resolution was published in the
German language, and is known to the
German c. P.) requires these tend
encies to be energetically combatted.
The central Of the German C. P. Is
fully conscious of the international
Importance Of combating Trotzkyism,
and is an energetic supporter of the
Russian G. p. in this combat. The ex-
posture of the "one-sided" and mis-
leading" statements in Trotzky's PAM
phlet is an urgent necessity, and at
the present juncture number 1920
was published at the end of the sum
mer of 1924, after the XIII party con-
ference) Comrade Emel should not
have reported on the positive pur-
port of the booklet only" but should
rather have laid all emphasis on the
negative import.
b. A further example:
In a review on Comrade Maslow's
pamphlet: The new era of pacifism, .
Comrade Fogarast treats us to the
following nonsense, for which Com
rade Maslov's pamphlet offers him no
justification whatever:
"The labor government in England
is the parliamentary theological form
of transition from the rule of indus
trial capital to that of financial CAPT
tai. This is a phenomenon taking
place on an international scale. 1t
is likely to be of decisive significance
for the immediate future"
NOMRADE FOGARASI seems to be-
~ lieve that the transition from
the rule of industrial capital to that
of financial capital" has only taken
place quite recently in England. 1t
is true that in England financial CAPT
tai entered on its rule later than for
instance in the United States or in
Germany. But the transition had al
ready taken place before the war, so
that it is absurd in the year 1924, to
assume abruptly that the labor gov
eminent is the parliamentary ideolo-
gical form of this transition.
Further: The rule of financial capt.
tai means the rule of Imperialism. But
the English labor government, tho
representing a government of bour-
geois influenced trade union bureau
crazy and labor aristocracy, and tho
pursuing an imperialist policy, is not
an example of an expressly imperial
list policy of financial capital. The
fact that Imperialism, that is, finan-
cial capital, employs the services of
the corrupt leaders of the labor party,
does not by any means signify that
these willing servants are better able
to reproduce the theology of their
masters than these masters them
selves. Lenin has expressly empha-
cised that imperialism can assume
the most varied forms of rule That
British imperialism is willing to put
up with the hypocritical pacifism of
the labor men at times, under certain
circumstances, is no proof that it
considers precisely these labor men
to be its most suitable and best rep
resentatives.
If Comrade Fogarasi's new theory
were right, it would signify nothing
more nor less than the actual capitu-

The Faults Of the lnternationale.
II The Internationale follows no
l. consistent revolutionary Marxist
(Leninist) line. A few examples may
be adduced in proof of this:
az Whilst number 1920 contains a
good article by Comrade Maslow on
Trotzky's Lenin book, the next num-
Der publishes another discussion of
the same book (why a double re-
view?) by A. Emel.
With respect to this latter review
we should like to make the following
observations:
Comrade A. EmePs discussion of the
book contains a number of errors and
shows that the reviewer is very in
adequately informed on the subject
of which he treats. Comrade Emel
counts Trotzky to the "old guard"
Trotzky never belonged to the "old
guard" of the Russian c. P, and the
reviewer of a Trotzky book published
in 1924 should be aware that one
of the main points of contention dur
ing the last great discussion in the
winter, 1924, was precisely the es-
innate made of the old feminist guard
attacked so severely by Comrade
Trotzky. Further: Comrade Emel
sees in Trotzky's pamphlet "a trea-
sure for the biography and history of
Lenin," whilst in the previous num-
Der Comrade Maslow had rightly
maintained precisely the contrary.
(Which of these opinions is shared
by the editors?)
Comrade Emel censure's Trotzky's
zky's criticism of the C. C. of the
Bolsheviki during the Kerensky per-
iod, as also with Trotzky's arguments
in his comparison or October, 1917,
with October, 1923. He would have
done better to first inform himself
as to the soundness of these argu-
ments, before carrying un-
consciously-grist to Trotzky's mill.
Comrade Emel censurs Trotzky's
many omissions" but does not state
the nature Of these omissions, nor
does he expose the "one-sided' and
misleading" statements which he adj
mits Trotzky to have made. Comrade
Emel should know that the resolution
adopted by the XIII party conference
of the Russian c. P. against petty
bourgeois tendencies in the party
