all the cry of our bought press, of our
narrow-minded statesmen against the
present regime in Russia, we know
nevertheless that there is a great,
tremendous country, with large pop
ulation, a country that has heretofore
been the darkest resort Of the darkest
reaction, standing today in the van
guard of democracy, in the vanguard
of social progress, in the hands, all
thru from top to bottom. of the people
themselves, of the working class and

Hillquit's Speech in 1924 Convention.
I'VE have reached a very crucial
point in the history of the whole
world. We have reached the point
where it has become apparent and OBJ
vious that the capitalistic class can
no longer govern. It is not merely
the incompetence and the corruption
that are today displayed by our own
government, in this Washington in.
vestigation. Oh no, 1t is more than
that. 1t is an absolute, complete
bankruptcy Of the capitalistic class all
over the world. Look at them. They
have ruled, they have governed for
generations. They have ruled with
out question. The workers of all lines
have submitted to their rule. They
have ruled in ruin, in devastation, in
destruction. They ruled up to the
point where they driven the whole
human race into a frenzied war of
mutual determination until they have
covered the countries of Europe with
rivers of human blood. They have
ruled until they have taken the most
progressive, the most prosperous part
of the world, Europe, and turned il
into a poor-house, turned it into a
condition of misery that beggars des-
cription. If they are allowed to con
tinue ruling, it may mean the end OF
human civilization.
There is but one force that can
save the world, and that force is the
force of the workers, who have no in.
terest in the competitive fights and
struggles Of the capitalists class, who
stand, and Of necessity must stand
for universal prosperity, for universal
brotherhood, and for peace and the
workers alone can establish world
on that basis"
4ilIquit Said I. L. C. w. Should Lead
Progressives.
s'This movement to redeem the
world from capitalistic cluthces, is
the very real movement today. 1t re-
quires the cooperation of the Ameri.
can people which means primarily the
American workers. The opportunity
| is open before us now. The Interna'
tional, as a progressive organization
as an organization of idealists, should
make it its duty, should make 1t its
pride, to lead in that movement, to
lead in every progressive movement
OF the workers"
Panken's Advisory Of World Unity.
am reading to you now the min.
utes of the convention of 1918: You

cred by Judge Jacob Panken: I'm my
opinion" said the judge, there should
be no American labor movement, there
should be no French labor movement
there should be no English labor
movement, but there should be one
labor movement, a world labor move
ment."

have broken down the organization
OF the Reds turnout the world. In.
