struggles are the elementary and basic forms of
working organization and struggle against the

present danger of caused by the terrific
gowth of Imperialism these forces compel the
expansion of trade union struggles into struggles
of class against class, workers against capitalists
into political struggle against the rule of capital
ism. Communism is the theoretical expression and
explanation of this historical process. Communism
supplies the scientifically proven theory which
guides and directs the efforts of the workingclass
towards a conscious struggle against capitalism
and for Communism. The Communists base them
selves this theory and build party-a polit-
cal party-which educates, organizes and leads the
struggles of the workingclas until its final vic
tory is secured.
Where is the contradiction between trade union
ism and Communism? It is only when reactionary
trade unionsts attempt to degenerate trade union
ism into helping the employers against the work.
instead of organizing the workers against the
employers that conflict arises. But this is a

but between worling-cass trade unonism and capt.

The opportunists and reformists in the socialist
movement have treated the Paris Commune prac-
-ticaly the same way they treated the whole re-
volutionary philosophy of Marx and Enges. They,
the opporunists and betrayers of the working class,
have persistently strived to blur the revolutionary
meaning of the Paris Commune as the first attempt
to establish the proletaran dictatorship. They have
done all they could to strip the uprising of the Com
munards and their achievement of the greatest les
son of the event, namely, that the way to abolish
capitalism is for the working class to seize political
power, destroy the capitalist government and estab
lish workers government. 1t became the task of
the revolutionary Marxians in the pre-war Second
International and of the Communist International
after the to carry forward the traditions and
meaning of the Paris Commune and to make these
living part of present day working class struggles.
The Bolshevk revolution of 1917 was the historical
event which gave the Paris Commune its first great
vndication. 1t was through this revolution that the

will endeavor to have the treaty con-
sidered in open executive session OF

this treaty with Turkey. There is
criticism, too because it does not

The statement that during the Sum
mer tangible and palpable' APP
breaches were made to Russia by the
United States, respecting recognition
was made by an important govern

did not disclose, however. whether
these approaches were made in Wash

All this was fatty denied by the

that the American attitude regarding
