by Herman Egstad, public affairs

An Associated Press dispatch
from Bemidji Wednesday night
said civic associations in the Twin
Cities were against such a measure,

les are endeavoring to point out
what they term the true condi
tions' to the St. Paul Association

that they will change their stand

In a joint letter to the St. Paul
and Minneapolis associations sent
recently to G, H. Burke, United
States commissioner of Indian

Egstad declared. that 5000, 900
be placed in the hands of the In
dian agent at Cass Lake to care
for needy Indian families. This
amount, we feel, will be more
than ample.
''Promiscnous distribution of
the tribal fund is needless. AL
ready this fund has decreased from
$12, 100000 to approximately S6,

tirely depleted, there will be no

by John R. Brown, general secre.
tary of the United Charities of ST.
Paul, about a year ago.
The foregoing article appeared
in the St. Paul Pioneer Press of
Thursday, January 2sth. The
Twin City civic organizations are
alarmed rather early of the possi.
bility of the state having to care
for the Chippewas in the event
that their tribal fund was depleted
to such an extent as would make
that necessary. There is no cause
for worry on that score, give
the Indians what belongs to them,
they will very nicely take care of
themselves. 1t is true that the
Chippewa tribal fund has shrunk
from $12, 2,0O0, 900 to approximately
$4,000, 900. But let it be known
that this money was not paid out
in cash to the Indians or used for
their material benefit. The great
bulk of this money has been
squandered by the Indian Bureau
in salaries for a horde of useless
employees in this state, and in the
administration of the Chippewa
estate. The placing of funds with
the agent at Cass Lake is mighty
poor way to help the Indians, if
this were done, only a certain
number would receive help, while
the money belongs to all the In
dians, and therefore would work
an injustice to a great majority of
the Indians who, while they might
be in need of assistance, whould
receive no help whatever.

to draw nearer to the Communist
Party. The Czech Communists polled
about a million votes, and even the
Berlin Vorwaerts had regretfully to
state that the results of the parlia-
mentary elections represented the
complete humiliation of Czech social
democracy. Even the small Commun-
list Party of Belgium succeeded in
making the first breach in the mighty
wall of Belgian social democracy.

70 Third International. Leftward
tendencies are making their appear
ance not only in a national but also
in an international measure. One of
the first signs of this was Otto Bauer's
speech in Vienna, de was forced to
acknowledge the social development
of the Soviet Union and emphasized
the necessity of an alliance between
the international proletariat and the
first workers republic. At the same
time, true to his nature, he demanded
more or less as reward, the liquidaZ
tion of the Austrian Communist Party.
A second sign is given us by an in
teresting article from the pen of Neil
son, the Danish social democratic
member of parliament. He writes
that, whilst the Russian worker is
building up socialism, the situation in
Denmark and in the whole of Europe
is getting worse from day to day and
that wholesale unemployment has be-
come permanent phenomenon and
that revolution is inevitable. In his
opinion however, the Communists are
unnecessary because they are only
disturbers of law and order and be-
cause, if revolution should become
necessary, it could be carried out by
the Danish social democrats alone.
The most important sign of the
tendency to approach the Comintern
is however the latest resolution of the
English independent labor party,
which consists of two parts. In the
first part it is stated that the indie

fish trade unions gave rise to the first
organized form of the left wing, and
now the first steps are being taken to
organize left wing in the British
labor party. The social democratic
opposition in Saxony which for a long
time preserved its local character, has
now grown into a movement which
embraces the whole of Germany, and
organized left groups are opposing the
official policy of the party in Frank
fort, Mecklenburg, Hamburg and even
in Berlin. We have seen how at the
party congresses of French, Polish
and Hungarian social democracy, pow
erful opposition movements have ST.
simultaneously come into being. The
question of a coalition government and
of an understanding with the bour-
geoisie is now shaking French, Ger

democracy to their foundations.
This left opposition within social
democracy is still to a large extent
uncertain and wavering. Neverthe-
less it exists, and if in the future it
continues to grow as it has done in
the last few months, we shall soon be
able to say that before long, nothing

A NUMBER of new phenomena are
"A to be observed in the information

ization of capitalism has, in some
countries, given fresh vigor to the
ranks of the aristocracy of labor and
increased it's privileges, with the re-
suit that the labor movement has to
a certain extent, veered to the right.
On the other hand two powerful fac
tors are more and more driving the
masses of workers into opposition to
capitalism, and in this way producing
a strong current toward the left in the
labor movement; these factors are u
the crisis and the wholesale unemploy-
ment in a number Of countries; p the
successful building up of socialism in
the Soviet Union. In view of the
general veering to the left of the pro-
letariat and the capitalization of left
groups, we can speak with some justi-
fication of a new growth of tendencies
in favor of a second and a half inter-

Free KabaktChieff-- Bulgarian Workers. Leader

In 1905, Kabaktchieff was elected
member of the central committee of
the party. He has been continually
elected to this post till recently. In
1923, he was temporarily the political
secretary of the party. Since the Bal
kan war he was regularly elected as
parliamentary deputy, and his calm
and well-constructed speeches were
distinguished by their well-sustained
principles and political applicability.
He was opposed in principle to all
compromises in politics. He was
elected deputy while doing penal SER
vitude after the September rising. He
remained faithful to the Communist
Party even after it was outlawed. The
government did not consent to his re-
naming in parliament and at the COM
mencement of 1925 it annulled his de-
puty's mandate by virtue of the ex-
ceptional laws against Communists.
At the Basic international congress
(1912) Kabaktchieff was a delegate
of the Bulgarian "Closists" and there
defended their revolutionary position.
In 1920, he sailed across the Black
Sea in a little sailing boat in order
to take part in the second congress
of the Comintern. He was a delegate
of the Communist Party of Bulgaria
to the Fourth Congress of the Comm
tern. At the time of the Fifth Con-
gress, when he was elected a men,
Der of the International Control Com
mission, he was already a captive IN
the hands of the Bulgarian white
guards.
Free Kabaktchieff.
One of the oldest fighters of the
Bulgarian Communist Party, to which
he devoted his inexhaustible energy
and rare industry, Kabaktchieff soon
understood the great error of the
party on June, 1923. He acknowledge
ed it openly in a manly speech before
the court, branding the provocative
policy of the white guard bourgeoisie.
Despite the serious defeats of the
party, he completely preserved his
bold spirit and warm faith in the
cause of Communism. BY liberating
him from capitalist servitude the in
ternational proletariat will return to
the Bulgarian and international revo-
luton one of the best fighters devot-
ed heart and soul to the movement.

Kabaktchieff was ofie Of the regular

gan of the party Novy 'vremya, edited
by the late d. Blagoeff.
In the historical struggle between
revolutionary socialism on one hand
and opportunism on the other which
to large extent predestined the pre-
valence of revolutionary tendencies in
the labor movement that was being
born in Bulgaria (1903), he was on
the side of the "close socialists" ire
volutionary wing and did great deal
to help to dispense the thick theore-
tical fog with which the opportunists
were theoretically shrouding the
heads of workers.
Fights Social-Oemocrats.
In all subsequent party crises caus-
ed by attempts of petty-bourgeois in
tellectuals to distort the revolutionary
ideas of the socialist and the prole-
tartan nature of the party, Kabak-
tchieff retained with ability and cru
dition the party position on the funda-
mental principles. He also wrote a
number of polemicala pamphlets in
which he revealed his worth as a
forceful dialectician and talented pub
licist. a
Kabaktchieff always linked up his
theoretical work With the definite
practical tasks Of eAe party. When
in 1910 the BalkarE socialist parties
put forward the SLOGAN of a Balkan
federated republic aud began forming

Bulgarian revolutionaries with regard

ian socialists against the war, he
