fact. Lenin taught a that general
slogans are Of no use, that a slogan
must always include, the special
factors Of the existing situation. The
struggle against the negative sides
Of the N. &. p, however, is no such
slogan, for this struggle will last
thruout the whole historical period
Of the N. {. p. The wish TO trans
form this struggle into a daily
slogan shows the panic Of the op-
position. The 18th party conference
declared the chief task to be the
struggle for the middle peasantry
not, however, the concessions to
the kulaks, as the opposition says.
The struggle for the middle peas
antry gives the party tremendous
tasks which are not yet solved. The
opposition rejects these tasks under
the cover Of a left disturbance about
the danger Of the Kulaks. The ar
tiele ends with the declaration that
the party congress and the whole
party would insist With all possible
forces upon the strengthening Of the
firm alliances with the basic masses
OF the peasantry, Tor socialism
could only be built VI on this basis.

Yet today Mr.. John Bassett Moore,
one of the judges on the permanent
court of international justice (world
court), halls this Benthem creature
as a star of the first MAGNITUDE in the
armament of history.
Indeed the world court protagonists
of today are in dire straits when they
have to bedeck their apologies in the
trappings of Bentham.
However, there is certain continu-
ity, for while Bentham served the
stupid shop-keeping bourgeois of a
century ago, Moore serves the equally
stupid big bourgeoisie of today when
the system is in its period of deca-
dance.

monarch, filed with the most de-

sion of the court would save "the
