Many Things Happening
for First Time in History

Communist, presides as chairman
while M. N. Roy, delegate of the
Communist Party of India, is talk
ing, assailing the British oppressor.
The discussion shows the Commun-
list Party of China on the right
path. Ernest Thaelmann, the Com
munist candidate against Won Hin
denburg for the presidency Of the
German republic, speaks, outlining
the. difficulties, as we'll as the sue
cesses Of the revolution in Germany.
Latin-America and Japan, Norway
and Poland, Turkey and Belgium,
efforts among the youth and women
workers, all enter into the discus
sion.
Fascism in Italy is discussed and
the causes of its inevitable disinte-
grafton are pointed out. 1t Is also
shown why the Chinese revolution
must press on to victory, and the
looming conflict on the shores of the
Pacific, between the United States,
Great Britain and Japan is analysed.
Thus the discussion of the far east
ern question gets under way.
All this news goes out OF Moscow
by wire and cable, not only to the
Communist press here in the Unit
ed States, but to many of the other
countries among the more than so
having Communist Parties affiliated
with the Communist International.
1t flashes its way to Canton, China,
as we'll as to Berlin, Germany, and
Paris, France, enabling the forward
marching vanguard of world labor
to keep in step everywhere.
How different from the days Of
Karl Marx and the First Information
al, when the only means of commun-
ication was the slow-going mail,
that required weeks to cross the
ocean. Even Marks correspondence
to the powerful New York Tribune
went by mail, the first successful
cable spanning the Atlantic not
being put down until 1865.
AS late as 1907, when the Second
(Socialist) International met in con-
gress at Stuttgart, we find A. NJ
Simons, editor Of The Chicago Daily
Socialist, attending as one of the
delegates of the American Socialist
Party. He sent no cabled news to
his own paper. Instead he was en-
ployed by the United Press, a cap
italist press service, to send 100
word cable daily, no more.
In 1910, with the Second Social
| ist) International holding its world
congress at Copenhagen, Denmark,
the last regular congress before the
war, neither of the two American
socialist dailies at that time, the
Chicago Daily Socialist and the New
York Call, worried about cabled re-
ports. Few words trickled thru over
the cables of the capitalist press
agencies. Some OF the correspond
ents of the European socialist dali
les sent their reports to their papers
by mail. The Second (Socialist) In
ternational was in reality a cores
pondence institute. It's spirit was
found voice in it's press. 1t so re-
NAMED up to the breaking out of the
war. While the conflict ragged it was
compelled to go out of business.
With the ending of the war it re-
verted to its old ways, except now
many of its leaders, capitalist prime
ministers, may affix the insignia Of
their respective kings to their let
ters composed in the comfortable
shadows of some royal palace.
Fighting the daily struggles Of the
workers, against the well or8nized
and well-equipped enemy, the Com
munist International leaves no stone
unturned to rally labor in support
of the world revolution. Thus the
gathering in the Kremlin reports to-
day, and every day, its activities, its 4,
hopes, its aspirations, its plans, its
strategy as the leader Of the strug-
gle to abolish capitalism. Not next
week nor next month, when the
situation may have entirely changed,
but today, In the heat OF the
actual combat. Fighting thus, "for
the first time In history" world la
