Only 95 errors in the proceedings
of the trial of Charles R. Forbes and

their counsel. Assuming they state
correctly what kind Of court was
it that tried them? Either our courts
are unfit or the laws permitting such

The Policy Of Partial Demands.
: WILL deal in few words with tn,

r WILL deal in few words with the
l. question of partial demands, which
the parties must advance in carrying
out the every day work of leading the
struggles of the workers. This ques-
ton also belongs to the sphere of boil
shevization.
1t must not be supposed that we
have just entered the period of re-
form. We understand perfectly well
that the period of the retarded de-
velopment of the revolution is not at
all a propitious period for obtaining
reforms.
A period such as this does not ia
vor reforms and reformism. We shall
get an outbreak of right sickness"
but we see no symptoms of serious
reforms.
But this does not mean that, on
these grounds, we must abstain from
putting forward partial demands. 1t
is precisely in periods such as the
present one, that we must conduct cor
rect, sensible, systematic and care
fully thot out tactics Of partial de-
mands, without however. departing
from the revolutionary struggle, and
taking care not to dilute bolshevism
with reformism. We must consistently
raise the rank and file worker above
the plane Of petty questions of the
day. We must demonstrate to and
convince the worker by facts in his
own experience that he can never lift
himself out Of his present poverty by
means of petty demands. Precisely
at such moment as this is, partial
demands e-e definite plan Of our
tactics.

Work Among the Peasantry.

WE have achieved definite results
w both in the field of trade union
ism and in the field of work among
the peasantry and in the colonies. The
organization of the work in the rural
districts, it seems to me, is a matter
of special Importance. We must,
however, distinguish between the
spontaneous peasant movements on
the one hand, and systematic work
and Communistic initiative in the ru-
raj districts on the other. Spontane-
GUS peasant movements are observed
in different countries and frequently
they arise without the initiative and
work of the Communists. The oppo-
site is also the case. There are coun-
tries in which beginnings have been
made in Communist work among the
peasantry, but where there is no
spontaneous peasant movement. The
Communist International places great
hopes in these first efforts towards
embracing the peasantry. We can say
that, at least the ice is broken. We
are passing from words to deeds. l
recall to your mind the peasant con-
ferences called by the Communist
Party of France. The same was done
in Germany; similar preliminary work
is being conducted by the Communist
Party of Germany. Successes can be
recorded in this direction by the Com
munist Party Of Italy. Attempts to
commence systematic work among the
peasantry are observed also in Czecho-
Slovakia.
The workers of Berlin, Hamburg,
and other towns, frequently spend
their Sundays in the country. They
drive to the surrounding villages in
motor lorries, distribute party litera-
ture, organize meetings of peasants,
etc. This is of enormous Importance.
We, Russian Bolsheviks did this kind
Of work. Prior to 1917, the Russian
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-05-27
enin taught the necessity to fight
for penny-an-hour increases as
we'll as ultimate aims.

WYE must now discuss, not what is a
w Bolshevik, but what is a Boil
shevik in the concrete conditions of
the present period-the period of the
retardation Of the whole revolution
When Lenin wrote his book, what
is to be Done: This Bible of Boil
shevism," the book which lays down
the foundations Of Bolshevism-the
Russian labor movement was living
thru the infancy period of its develop
ment. But already at that time,
Comrade Lenin covered the complete
scope of the work in saying that we
must fight equally for penny and hour
increases in wages as we'll as for the
achievement of our ultimate aims
Simultaneously with the most minute
affairs of everyday work, we must
strive to achieve our great aims. That
is our task.
Comrades, it must be stated, that
at the present time, a number of our
parties are passing thru a period in
which the study of Bolshevism, par
citularly of the pre-war period, is
especially necessary for them. Sew
eral Of our parties are entering that
phase of the struggle and develop
ment, in which it is particularly i'm
portant to master the principles of the
politics, tactics and reorganization of
bolshevism Of the period prior to 1917.
