these costs in life are so staggering
that they can hardly be imagined,
much less measured. The definite
knowledge we have relates only to
the fighting forces.
The Cost in Wealth.
T IKE the cost in life, the toll of
II wealth taken by the war extends
far beyond the direct costs for which
figures are available. But even the
direct costs stagger the mind, and
are beyond ordinary comprehension.
According to Findman, in "Interna-
tional Finance and Reorganization
Quoted by Varga, Inprekorr, Vol. 4,
No. 45), the actual expenses of the
war totalled two hundred and forty
nine billions, three hundred and sixty
two millions of dollars. ($249, 1862, OOO,-
O00).
Do you think that you can under
stand what this figure represents?
1t amounts to almost half of the
total wealth of the world at the time
the war began. 1t is more than three
times the total wealth production OF
the year 1913. To obtain some dim
idea of how much it is, imagine this
sum of money distributed among the
population of the United States; It
would provide each family in the
country with more than $4,000 each.
All of this mass of wealth was. in
the final analysis, wrung from the
same working class and peasantry
which paid the war-costs of life and
limb.
THE next war, towards which the
world is rushing, will be even
more destructive than the last. Since
the world war closed all the civil
ized' nations have had their best
brains" busy at work devising yet
more poisonous gasses, inventing yet
more powerful explosives, building yet
more complicated machines and lar
ger guns-all for the purpose of kill
ing more workers, to gain greater
power for the imperialist masters OF
the earth.
And the United States will be in
the vanguard of the next war The
dead Of Americas working class will
then be counted in millions, instead
Of the tens of thousands of 1913.
There is but one thing that can pre-
won't this-that is the overthrow of
the capitalist system and the esta-
.blishments OF workers and farmers

Gus fulcrums for our Organizatory
work in the factories, and give us can
vassers for our press. | confine my
self to this abbreviated and general
survey of the progress of our work
among working women.
The experience gained by thel. w
S. shows that outside of the Soviet
Union there is an international short
age of men and women comrades who,
schooled in theory and practice, have
actually grasped the whole complex
of the women's question as part OF
the social question in the sense OF
Marxism and Leninism. and nave
there seen clearly that at the bottom
every so-called woman's question is
also mans question, childrens
question--in word, social problem
concerning the whole proletariat. Our
comrades are not yet thoroly embued
with Lenin's view that without the
participation of millions of women the
proletsriat is not in position to seize
and maintain power and is unable to
reconstruct society on Communist
lines after Selling power.
We must call theory and practice

The whole of the institutions and or
gans Of the Communist Parties are to

the purpose of general enlightment.
but ensure at the same time the de-
selopment of Marxist understanding
in the women's question. Thus for in
stance the treatment of this question
must be made part of the educational
program of the national sections. 1t
is of the utmost Importance to ensure
that the largest possible number Of
women comrades utilize the education
al opportunities. Lenin emphasized
that we can only have good revolu-
tionary movement if we have a good
revolutionary theory. Until this has
been realized by both men and women
comrades our work among the masses

of the German Communist Party and
various working women's newspapers
appearing in the provinces; in France
the Party papers "LQuvriere". Our
Party press in Italy appeals to the
women comrades, to the Party func-
tionaries, and to the masses of the pro-
letarian women. Almost all articles,
notices, etc, are written in such sim
pie and popular style that they can be
understood even by backward women.
In this respect the character of our
women's press in Czcho Slovakia Is
extremely contradictory and unclear.
AS a general rule the purport Of our
women's newspapers of every descrip-
ton is not yet sufficiently permeated
with Communist principle. The events
and facts dealt with are not linked up
vitality with the daily slogans of the
Party, of the trade unions, or of the
proletarian struggle. We receive valu-
able material from the women of the
proletariat in support of our charges
against capitalism, but this does not
raise our women's press to the level
of an organ for training and leading
the masses, of women.

respondents should be organized and

line with the principles of Commun-
ism, naturally with the agreement of
the writer's. This must be done with
the requisite fine feeling for the
modes of expression of the CORE
spondents. Their contributions must
lose nothing of their freshness and
originality, and on the other hand our
women's papers must not be permitted
to become the gathering place of petty
bourgeois and un-Communist views,
and even of unconsciously anti-Com-
munist views. The correspondence
carried on by working women, the con.
tributions sent by working women to
factory newspapers and other organs,
educate proletarian women to indie
pendent thought, to independent ac-
tiYity and self-reliance. Besides this,

Householder world war is on the

for the workers, who pay the costs of

the latest one, the cost in blood and

WORKERS and peasants furnished

BY the world war. Figures can give
but the slightest idea of the monstrous
horror that is war But only figures
can add to the knowledge of these
horrors the further understanding of
the terrific mass scale to which this
horror was expanded.
More than ten and one-half millions
of men were killed in the imperialist
struggle, between August, 1914 and
November. 1913 More than twenty
millions were seriously wounded

ties have no cIear idea Of the tasks and
aims of the so-called women's press
We are all agreed in principle that the
theoretical and political schooling OF
our women comrades is to be effected
by the general Party press, its politi-
cal and scientific women's question
and women's demands, for these are
at the bottom the problems and de-
mands of the proletariat The "Wom-
ems Pages" and ''Women's Columns"
in the general Party press should be
adapted, like the special women's pa
pers, to the broad masses of working
women. This object is but partially
attained, owing to the double charac-
ter of their publications. Their con-
tents are adapted in part for women
comrades, and in part for the masses
of women just awakening. This is ex-
planned by the fact that the general
press organs of our sections do not
adequately fulfill their tasks of school
ing the women comrades theoretically
and politically, so that the need arises
to deal with urgent question in special
"Women's Pages" and women's pa
pers.
Organs which are already fairly
well adapted to the needs of the broad
masses of women are the following: in

the masses of proletarian women, and
these must maintain permanent and
regular organized connection with the
Communist Party, working under its
leadership These organs and organiza-
lions, which we require at the same
time for the n-COmmunist working
women, must begin at once to develop
ON Russian lines into delegates cor
porations. This must of course not
lie done by mechanical imitation, but
the actual given circumstances ruling
N the separate countries must be
taken into account.
The beginnings of such a develop
ment were noticeable in Germany, in
the form of control and action com
ruittees, during the movement caused
by the high prices In England the

Of this conference to follow Comrade

means to be pursued for creating the
