NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-The dis

cally exonerated Wallace MCLEAN

against him as a result of the shoot

Mrs. Roberta Ingersoll, widow of

of the late Robert G. Ingersoll, the
famous agnostic, was severely
wounded.
Rely on Note
Investigators. after working all

Probasco at Bellevue Hospital. where
he is under technical arrest, said
they believed a note in their posses

by Mrs. Ingersoll, contained the So

one of suicide on the part of Mrs
Ingersoll after she had fired upon
Probasco.
The note, the district attorneys of

but unreliable and parts of il were
not yet clear. The officers, with the
aid of persons familiar with Mrs
Ingersoll's handwriting, however
expected to have the entire letter
deciphered soon. Until that is done
Probasco. they said, could not be
formally eXonerated.
Wife at Bedside
On his bed at the hospital and
with Mrs. Probasco at his side, the
wounded man early today talked OF

Of the district attorneys office. He
repeated his previous story that he

with her which had existed over a

said Mrs. Ingersoll advanced toward

The gun with which the shooting
was done was found some distance

further investigation. said they
were convinced il was where Mrs.
Ingersoll dropped it after the shoot

begins the revolution, which makes a
breach in the capitalist front, may be
less developed from the capitalist
point Of view than others which re-
main, nevertheless, within the frame
work of capitalism"
TT was Lenin's absolute faith in
4 this belief that caused him to fight
unswervingly for the Bolshevik seizure
Of power in November, of 1917. Rus
STA was then the weakest link in the
world imperialist chain. The Russian
proletariat had for its alb the peas
antry. The Russian link MAJ broken
by the onslaught of a great popular
revolution. This happened ~ spite
of the fact that Russia was leas ad-
vanced from the capitalist point of
view than Germany, France, England
or the United States.
TT is very interesting to consider
4 where the imperialist chain will
break next. Leninism holds that the
same rule will apply again, Precisely
where it is weakest"
Stain replies, at is not impossible,
for example, that it may be in India
Why? Because there is a young and
combatiye revolutionary proletariat
which has for ally the movement for
national liberation, which is unques-
tionably very powerful. Because in
that country the revolution has for
its enemy foreign Imperialism, de-
prived Of all moral authority and
hated by the oppressed and exploited
masses of India"
MO matter, however, where the next
I ' weakest link in the world imper-
ialist chain may be, it is the duty
OF Americas workers to build their
power for struggle against American
Imperialism. This can be done in
many ways:
FIRST:-Build the instruments of
struggle. the Workers fCominnnistj
Party, the vanguard fighter Of the
working class; the labor party, to
break working class elements away
from the capitalist parties; militant
trade unions and aggressive farmers
organizations. Never to lose sight Of
the creation Of an ever closer alliance
between the industrial workers and
the farmers, the land workers;
ECOND:-Develop the demand of
American labor for the liberation of
the colonies of American imperialism
of Cuba, Porto Rico, the Hawaiian
islands and the Philippines-thru the
alliance of the proletariat in the home
land with the oppressed colonials;
THIRD:-Strengthen the alliance
between the proletariat of the United
States with the prOletariat of those
nations under the thumb of American
imperialism, as for instance, Mexico,
Central and South America and also
Canada on an increasing scale, thus
building the united power of Pan
American revolutionary labor.
FOURTH:-Cement the relations
between the American proletariat and
the proletariat of all other countries,
especially the other great capitalist

BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

THERE will come time when the
united revolutionary power of
Americas workers and farmers will
result in the United States becoming
a part of the growing Union of So
Wet Republics, the final boundaries
of which must be all the ends of the
earth.
There is no better time than the an
niversary of the death of Lenin to
make special efforts to awaken labor
in this land to a realization of its role
in the world social revolution that
will bring the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat to the land of the most power
full imperialism.
THE Bolsheyik victory of Nov. z,
4 1917, was the victory of our Rus
sian comrades, aiming at world revo-
luton. The Soviet Union, even as it
stands today, is not alone Russian,
however. 1t is an international insti-
tuition. The British trade union dele
cation truly reported to the workers
of Great Britain that amy nation out
side the union has right of adhesion
to the union"
This report also added that 1.-THE
army is not the Russian army, but the
Red Army. It's flag is the Red Flag
of universal brotherhood. It's silver
coinage has for device the sickle and
hammer, and for motto, Workers of
the World Unite"
A constantly increasing host of
British workers aspire to the time
when they will bring England into
the Soviet Union, against the resist
ance of their ruling class.
~S-~&
TyHIS month we also commemorate
4 the anniversary of the death of
Karl Liebknecht. It was my good
fortune to visit this intrepid revolu-
ZIONIST in Berlin before he started on
his tour Of the United States in 1910
Liebknecht at that time held to the
opinion that the world revolution
would first break in the United States.
He based this belief on the rapid de-
velopment of capitalism in this coun-
try. Liebknecht held to the opinion
that the capitalist world front would
be pierced first in that country,
where industry is most perfected,
where the proletariat forms the ma
jority, where civilization is the most
advanced. where democracy is most
developed"
$50 one used to answer" says Sta
lin, the secretary of the Communist
Party of Russia, in his Theory and
Practice of Leninism," showing that
this belief was quite general in the
days before the world war broke in
1914 But that was not the theory of
Leninism. Stain writes:
mo, replies the feminist theory Of
the revolution. The front of capital
ism will not necessarily be pierced
where industry is most developed, It
will be broken where the chain of inn
perialism is weakest, for the proletar-
ian revolution is the result of the rup-
ture of the chain of the imperialist
front at its weakest point. So then

nations. This is part Of the meaning
of world trade union unity.
FIFTH:-Develop the spirit Of sol
idarity between the workers and farm
ers of the United States, the worlds
greatest imperialist state, and the
workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union that already includes one-sixth
Of the land surface Of the earth.
1t is only in struggling along all OF
these lines in the. spirit of Leninism
that American labor will in time sue
cessfully bring this nation under the
Red Flag of the Soviet Union.
.PUT American workers must re-
II member. in the words of Lenin,
that the coming of the Soviet power,
marks only the end of bourgeois de-
mocratic parliamentarism, the begin
ming of new era of mankind, the
era Of the proletarian dictatorship"
For Communism has not yet arrived
even within the present boundaries of
the Soviet Unon. The Soviet state
still exists. Yet it is only the Soviet
state, allowing the constant partici
patton OF the organizations of work
srs in the management of public af-
fairs, is aba to prepare that gradua
disappearance of the state, toward
which the development of a Commun
list society naturally tends"
1t was in his thesis on the consti
tuent assembly, the dispersal
which by the Bolsheviks shocked the
socialist parliamentarians of the
world, that Lenin said:
The republic of .Soviets of work
ers' soldiers and peasants delegate
is not only higher type of democrat
ic institution, but is also the form of
capable of ensuring the most painless
realization of socialism"
COMPELLED to face increasingly
difficult struggles with their ex-
ploiters, the workers Of the United
States will become better acquainted
as time goes on, with the principles
and theories of Leninism. Today the
broad masses know little about them.
THE many millions of the American
working class have gained their i'm
pressions of Leninism thru reading
the subsidized press of the very class
that is doomed by the rise of the
workers to power and the ushering in
of CLASHES social order. They look
upon Leninism as something purely
akin to Russian conditions; as some
thing alien TO the land of 400 per
cent Americanism."
Yet they will learn that Leninism
is just as native to American soil as
it is to Leningrad. Moscow, the Val
ley of the Yolga or the far stretches
of Siberia.
For it was Lenin, the second ami
versary of whose death we COM
memorate, who founded the Commun-
list International that leads the work
ers in the struggle to win power
everywhere and include every nation
within their Union of Soviet Repub-
lies.

MoUing-Picture Screens

Experts Of the movies have pointed
out that the screen IL dark nearly half
the time picture is being shown.
They say the eye of the camera IL so
fast that the spectator does not mo-
tlce the darkness. Also, each picture
Is thrown on the screen three times.
There are sixteen pictures on every
foot OF Aim. In front of the projec-
ton machine Is n revolving disk.
This disk Is divided Into six parts,
three of which allow light to travel
to the screen. by means of an In
tricato synchronizlng device this disk
revolves each time one Of the minute
pictures stops before the opening.
Thus, each picture Is shown three
times before It passes on. But all
this happens too fast for the eye to
discern. The darkness of the screen
during nearly half the picture IL
caused by the solid sections of the
disk. Exchange.
