BY ROSA LUX

HE first session of the Jewish Fed
Grated Anarchist Convention took
place at the Forward building, with
Yonofsky as the first speaker, who
among others stated, "The masses are
not interested in our (anarchist) &C
tivities, do not read our literature and
do not come to our conventions" This
was well known to the delegates and
Yanofsky could safely have omitted
this part Of the speech. He contin-
ned as follows: "As anarchists, VIC
do not oppose order and leadership,
on the contrary, the way to achieve
anarchism will be possible only thru
the leadership of capable and trust
worthy persons" But, he added, it is
not the rank and file that can assume
leadership, for that must come from
"above" and not from below"
To mention all his empty and high
sounding phrases is useless; the es.
sence Of his speech was, that it is the
labor movement which offers the an.

Against this international power It Is
necessary to set up an international
organisation for the maintenance and

We are an autonomous organisation,

We are autonomous because the con-

We wish nothing better-and we will

But in spite of this independence,
our International is not lacking a firm

people and as employees, we see our
natural allies in the organised work
