Letters From OuY Readers

London Cops Use Harmless Bombs.
Editor, The DAILY WORKER:
The eternal vigilance of the New
York Police so strikingly demon
strated in recent months by their
clever work in discovering bombs"
has now been duplicated by the Lon
don boobies. In London however
they manage to discover the internal
machines" before they go off.
This m It h o d of discovering
"bombs" minimizes the possibility of
accident, yet is quite as effective
publicity.
1t is to the credit of modern
journalism that when after a "dis-
covery" of this kind the internal
machine" turns out to be package Of
soap powder, our great newspapers
invariably make known to the public
the truth, for instance the following
one inch in the Times of August 18th:
London Bomb Held Flash Powder.
CBy Wireless to The New York Times)
London, Sept. 16.-The Bomb"
found yesterday in the subway tunnel
near Fleet Street and thought to be
new Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration
was discovered today to be merely
flashlight powder belonging to a
photographer. The cylinder contain
ing the powder was sent to the Home
Office, where explosive experts pro-
nounced it harmless.

The whole history of the Russian revolutionary move
ment for instance prior to the Bolshevik triumph of
Nov T. 1917 is filled with the heroic struggle to spread
the literature of the revolution with the of illegal
printing plants and the circulation of outawed news
papers, books, pamphlets and leaflets.
To be sure, under such conditions, the mechanical
very poorly DONE bad printing cheap paper
that quickly fell to pieces thru constant handling

The Times Are Changing.


The lack of desire in the past, among English speaking
workers the world over for education in the classics
of the revolutionary movement has been the big
why these works have not been translated into the
English language from the German, French Russian.
But this condition rapidly changing largely due
the of the Russian Bolshevk revolution
ing international labor.
1t is "A years after the death of Karl Marx in
1888 1t is 80 years after the death of Friedrich Enge
in 1895. Yet only have the plans been perfected
for the publication under the direction of the Marx

these writer's
1t is not yet four since the death of Lenin in
1924 but the Lenin Institute in Moscow is already is
suing in rapid succession the thirty volumes that will

This reveals the difference in the desire of the Com
munst movement today and the prewar socialist
ment to spread basic knowledge of labors struggle
for power. All of the writings of Marx and Enges
were available for years. in fact they in the

like Bernstein, they betrayed the trust placed in them
by msusing these writings effort pervert Marx

Organize Study Groups.

Such study groups must furnish the backbone of the
growing demand for revolutionary literature in the
United States That they will gradually develop is the
belief of Alexander Trachtenberg editor-manager of
International Publishers" that has issued nearly go
titles of revolutionary literature in this country, many
of them translated works that have before been
available in the English language.
