No. 8O-It's Radio Time.


The sight of Smith out in the side
ward tinkering with his automobile
the other evening proved to be an in
centive to radio discussion rather than
one about motors. Smith was sacrl-
f1cing some perfectly good radio
weather in favor Of work that he
could have done any time.

fussing with grease gun. -.
What do you mean. radio time?'
he asked. looking puzzled. You an
nounce it like a person would an
nounce dinnertime or bedtime. WHAT'S
the idea?"
1t is always pleasure to spring
something on Smith because he fights
against a new idea just long enough
! to see all sides to it and eventually to
know more about it than the man
who goes at it eagerly. So it was
,lp to me to keep the argument 60

Smith was putting away the grease

Lenin and the Second International.

SOME comrades ask, how Lenin could stay in
the Second International, where reformism
was so widespread. You must remember, that
Marxism was accepted there as the guiding doc
trine. In the Amsterdam congress of 1904, revi-
sionism was condemned. In Stuttgart in 1907,
the resolution drafted by Lenin and Rosa Lux
emburg against war, was accepted; and, what
was most important, the Second International
up to the imperialist war; never condemned the
proletarian revolution. And revolutionary Marx
ism was propagated in all the parties, although
by only minority in many of the countries.
And Lenin never participated in the reform
list deviatiOns of the Second International In his
collected works, you will find articles from all
periods, analysing and crticizng the information
al conferences, and the main parties However
highly he estimated Kautsky and Bebel he critic
lied their deviations from the MARKHAM line. Once
when the Mensheviks referred to the example of
Bebel Lenin warned them, saying that if Bebel
sometimes stepped into morass, he picked him
self out again. but not everyone can do the same
After 1909, when the "Way to Power" was pub
lished, Kautsky began to depart from the MARKHAM
line more and more and there was consequently
antagonism to the left radicals-Rosa Luxem-
burg, Clara Zetzin, Franz Mehring and others.
And then, at the beginning of the war; Lenin
explains that the centrist position of Kautsky is
hypocritical form Of social patriotism and worse
than open betrayal.
But even the radicals were criticized by
Lenin. Rosa Luxembourg did not wholly under
stand the Importance of a strongly centralized
party. This was the result Of her incorrect
theoretical conception Of capitalist accumulation
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-06-12

On the question of imperialism and the self
determination of nations Lenin criticized the
views of many left radicals.
On February /, 1914, Lenin wrote statement
to the secretary of the Second International, in
in order to explain the differences between the
BOlsheviks and Mensheviks. He pointed out how
the Russian party, in 1909 and 1910, had con-
demned the Iquidators; in this question the diff
ferences are irreconcilable. The organizational
committee, elected in 1912 by the Mensheviks, has
formally abandoned the liquidators but actually
tolerates and endorses them Then the same ques
tons which in all countries divide the reform
lists and the Marxists appear also between the
Mensheviks and Bolsheviks. Just as ireconcil-
able are many differences caused by the fact that
the lquidators fight agaisnt revolutionary slogan
in the legal papers They explain that the demands
for the republic and the confscation of the land
lords lands are not suitable. And their argu-
ments cannot be discussed in the legal papers
Therefore their attitude must be regarded as
treacherous. On the national question, there are
differences: the Mensheviks advocated autonomy
where the party advocated the right to separa-
ton; they tend to a nationalist point of view.
Within the party, the national question also
causes differences: the party does not accept the
autonomy of national declarations. The liquidators
advocate blocs with bourgeois parties. The men
sheviks do not admit that the Bolsheviks have a
crushing majority among the Russian proletariat;
they have artificial organizations abroad. With
concrete facts, Lenin proves that the Bolsheviks
have the majority among the organized probe
tariat, and that experience has proved the or
ganization method of the Bolsheviks to be cor
rect.

But what the devil was the matter with this
meat? The machine wouldn't cut it. Morris
stuck his hand into the machine and pushed
the meat. At last it was moving. Suddenly
there was tug at his fingers, and an electri-
cal thrill ran through his body.
Morris pulled his hand out, and there

of it if he worked below the scale, and if he
worked nights, though night-work was not
permitted by the union.

Come in to work tonight and I'll pay you
time-and-a-half. Don't come in then Ell?
don't come in at all, then. Not at-t-all!'
Morris was terrified at the prospect of losing
his job. 1t was in the middle of the season, and
if he didn't work now, he'd have to come to
grips with starvation during the slack-time.
But night-work? Morris was a union man.

The grinding machine was exchanging COM

rose from the caldrons which were one cloud
