Lassen's Life and Work
~ BY William Weinstone

A LTHO taken from us when scar.
a cely in his prime, Lassen leaves
behind him a career of valuable serv-
ice to the revolutionary labor move
ment and to the Communist Interna-
tional. OF proletarian family, Lassen
became interested in the movement
when Is years of age in Budapest as
student. During the war period, and
as a student in Budapest university
he Joined the radical student organi-
zation known as the Calico Society.
He had hardly reached his 18th birth
day, when in 1917 he became the
center of political life in Hungary by
his attempt on the life Of Count Tiszo,
the Hungarian premier and central
figure in the war. Comrade Lassen
was tried and sentenced TO death for
this attempt which had been miscar-
ried, but was liberated by the revolu-
tioa
Active in Youth Movement
Lassen then became a member of
the Young Communist League and
threw himself actively into its work.
Up to the time of the fall of the Com
mune, he did editorial work for the
revolutionary organs and carried on
various organizational tasks.
With the fall of the Commune, he
emigrated to Russia and became a
member of the executive of the Young
Communist International and in close
cooperation carried on work in Ger
many Austria and France. He wrote
for the Jugend International the Ger.

BALDWIN CRISIS
LOOMS IN SPLIT

Political Questions In
UOlUed in Dispute

LONDON, England, July 21.-
Premier Baldwin was working
energetieally today to staVe off
the cabinet crisis which doomed as a
result Of the opposition Of Winston
Churchill, chancellor Of the exchequer,
to the naval building program advo-
Gated by w. c. Bridgeman, first lord
Of the admiralty. Churchill wants to
increase the size of the navy, but not
to the extent that Bridgeman does,
Baldwin has been striving, without
success, to reconcile the big" and
little" navy men in his official
family. The cabinet having failed to
reach an accord today was being
given over to private and informal
discussions in the hope that the eluT
sive compromise might be found by
the time the cabinet again assemblies
in Downing street tomorrow.
The controversy having got into the
realm of politics, there IS much more
at stake now than the mere question
of the number of cruisers to be laid
down this year and the continuing
program.
Political issues of the utmost gra-
witty have entered the quarrel, and
might easily precipitate a ministerial
crisis.
Pitted against each other are the
powerful clique headed by Churchill
and lord Birdenhead and the "big"
navy group. The latter are rallying
around Bridgeman, first lord of the
admiralty, who with earl Beatty, first
sea lord, and the entire admiralty
board threaten to resign if their re-
concentrations are discarded. ygs
The admiralty group accepted a
new compromise today as basis of
settlement. They expressed them
selves as satisfied with building
program calling for laying down Of
three cruisers this year, but insisted
the four must Re the minimum next
year.
Churchill and his group still are
dissatisfied. They refuse to 60 SO far
