EulOgiZes Ruthenberg's
Work in United States

Comrade Harry Young, Of Great
Britain, speaking for the Young Com
munist international said:
Comrades, today we, together
with Che whole Communist Interna-
tional and our brother Workers
(CommunisD Party Of America,
mourn bitter and frightful loss.
a terrible calamity has befallen our
brother Workers Party because the
Workers Party Of America has lost
the leader, who stood at the head Of
the Party in it's most dangerous
and difficult moments, and who was
providing that leadership for our
American Party which would ulti-
mately bring into being, also in the
United States Of America, a mighty
powerful mass Communist Party.
"T he Executive Committee Of
the Young Communist International
and the Young Workers League of
America mourns today the loss Of
one Of its dearest, best and truest
friends and comrades. We have
lost one who always, and at all times,
devoted his best energies to our as
sistance in our struggles and battles.
Comrades, on this day, when the
ashes Of Comrade Ruthenberg will
be laid to rest, we shake our fists in
the face Of today's powerful American
bourgeoisie, confident in the knowl-
edge that that work which Ruthen-
berg accomplished, that on those
foundations which he year after
year SO painstakingly laid, shall yet
be built the mighty edifice of a Com
munist Party in America which
will be capable Of vanquishing the
new powerful American bourgeoisie
and instead of the worlds most
bloody and despotic imperialism,
there shall stand a Soviet Re-
public led by mass Workers Com
munist Party.
Comrades, in this sense we all Of
us today must take unto ourselves
a firm resolve that we shall unceas-
ingly and untiringly continue the
work commenced by Comrade Ruth
enberg, secure in the knowledge that
his tasks and his work can be finished
by our hands and, that in America
too, the Communist International
will not mourn Ruthenberg in vain
but win lead the Workers Party Of
America to ultimate victory.

Address of COTnrade n. Bukharin
At the Funeral of Comrade E. Ruenberg Moscow Apr

the Proletariat, at the other mole Of
the earth, in the United States of
America, there still reigns, still
flourishes, still rules the most power
fully armed, the most highly de-
veloped imperialistic capitalism. The
bourgeoisie of the United States at
the present time represents the hege-
mony, the leadership Of all the plun-
dering, reactionary, counter revolu-
tionary forces Of the entire world. of
everything tending to support the
old order. And in the great events
Of the Chinese Revolution we see
the United States Of America in
league with Great Britain pursue
their peaceful" policy Of robbing
and torturing the Chinese people.
A great symbol is hidden in the
present occasion. The fact that the
ashes of comrade Ruthenberg are
now here, that comrade Ruthenberp

ditions, willed before his death to
be buried in Moscow; that his ashes
were brought here under our red ban
ners; that his remains will rest side
by side with the remains of our best
fighters, side by side with Lenin, side
by side with scores Of other great
proletarians, who raised the banner
of revolt in the days of October and
who sacrificed their lives on the
barricades, fighters whose bones
paved the road for the growth of our
great future,-in all that there is a
great symbol hidden.
Our leader died in a country which
at present is the main support of
international capitalism. He willed
that his ashes be transferred to the
country of the Proletarian Dictator
ship, country which is incom-
parably weaker than his native
country, which is a so-called "civil-
lied" country, country Of

Comrades, we are lowering into the
grave today the ashes of Comrade
Ruthenberg, the leader of the COM
paratively small but energetic Com
munist Party of the United States Of
North America.
In the entire world comrades, there
exist two opposite poles of strug-
gle, two fundamental, powerful his
torical forces, aroupd which secondary
and weaker forces group themselves
and unite: these two poles are on
one side the United States of Ameri-
can-the forces of the old, the forces
of capitalist counter-revolution, the
forces of imperialism; on the other
side the. Union Of Socialist Re-
publics--new forces, the forces of the
Communist Revolt, the forces for the
construction of Socialism. And while
our country which only ten years
ago was the stronghold Of the most
barbarian, the most despotic tsarist
reaction, has been transformed into
the great land of the Dictatorship Of

streamer Of the German Communist
Party, the procession made its way
out Of the building. There, at the
entrance, the Urn was placed amid
flowers and carried thru the streets
to the Red Square, among the pail
bearers being Bukharin, Manuilsky,
Kolarow, TRENT, Smeral, Murphy,
Engdahl, Piatnitsky, Duncan, Kuusi-
men. The procession halted when it
came to the foot of the Lenin Maui
soleum, the speakers Immediately
mounting the Tribune on the Mauso-
leum, equipped with broadcasting
apparatus, so that the addresses could
be heard, not only thruout the
Square very clearly, but over all Mos
cow and environs where amplifiers
may be found in all the public
squares.
Bukharin spoke, interpreting the
meaning Of the occasion.
Smeral acted as chairman. Kola-
row spoke for the Executive Commit
tee of the Communist International.
Kubjak was the representative of the
Communist Party Of the Soviet Union
and of Moscow. Harry Young, repre-
sentative of The British Young Com

Elrcn white the speaking was pro-
ceeding new throngs Of workers, in
groups, continued to arrive
from their shops. Because they come
in this manner, instead of singly, the
capitalist press, especially in the
United States, spreads the propa-
ganda that the workers are con-
scripted to attend the demonstrations
by the Communist Party in
the Soviet Union. These sheets de
clare that this is especially true in
Moscow. This is, of course, just an
other fable spread by the subsidized
press to malign the workers and
peasants of the Soviet Union.
International events stir labor in
the Soviet Union to deep interest.
The arrival of the Ashes of Ruthen-

looked upon as an event of interna-
tional significance, and the thousands
who gathered in the Red Square to
listen to the addresses and to take
part in the burial of the Ashes of
Ruthenberg in the Kremlin Wall were
deeply moved by the event. This l
learned thru careful inquiry. The

TO you, My Comrades, the workers
Of Moscow and to the workers and
peasants Of the Soviet Union, uphold
ers Of the first victorious proletarian
dictatorship;
To you, My Comrades, of the Com
munist international, the standard
bearers of the World Social Revolu-
ton;
To you, My Comrades, Of the
Young Communist International, the
leaders of the revolutionary youth
Of the world;
TO you, My Comrades, who have
been selected to hold positions of re-
sponsibility in the Rule of the Sow
lets;
To you, I bring from far America
the ashes of my Comrade Ruthen-
berg. the fallen leader of our Com
fnunist Party, the American section
Of the Communist International. I
bring these ashes to you as symbol
of the unity of the oppressed workers
Of imperialist America with the freed
workers of the Soviet Union. They
are a symbol Of the solidarity of the
workers of the world for we struggle
everywhere, over all the earth, for
the common goal-the overthrow of
capitalism and the emancipation Of
the working class in all lands.
AS we mourn, Ny Comrades. never
theless, there.is Joy in the knowledge
that we in America, through the
great accomplishments that our Com
rade RuthenbeIp has achieved during
the 20 years that he has been an ac-
tive and energetic worker in the re-
volutionary movement of America;
through his work we may say today
that, in spite Of the fact that our
leader has fallen, nevertheless, we
are able to lift higher and more
threatening than ever to capitalist
rule in America the Red Banner OF
the World Social Revolution.
Comrade Ruthenberg, Of proletar-
ian origin, entered the ranks Of the
, revolutionary army in America while
still a young man. From the begin
ming he showed keen knowledge OF
the needs Of the American revolu-
tionary movement. He started early
in his work in the Socialist Party OF
America to build the very necessary
unity in America Of the workers in
industry and the farmers upon the

the American Communist Party, and
Ruthenberg, with many others, were
arrested and jailed. He was the first
to be convicted. As a result of this
renewed persecution, Comrade Ruth
enberg when he died was under SEN
tence Of ten years Imprisonment for
carrying aloft the standards Of the
Communist International in the
United States Of America.
Yes. Ny Comrades, we in America
are today faced with greater strug-
giles than ever before in all the his
tory Of our movement.
American Imperialism today makes
war on Nicaragua. the small Central
American Republic. But it attacks
not only Nicaragua. This attack is
only part of its attack against all
Latin-America, against all the OPP
pressed peoples of South America, Of
Central America, of the Caribbean.
American imperialism seeks new
excuses to launch an armed interven-
ton against Mexico, 70 destroy if pos
sible the struggle Of the workers and
farmers in Mexico to free themselves
from capitalist slavery through win
ming all power.
But more important still, American
imperialism becomes a leader in the
war against the revolution of the
Chinese workers and peasants. 1t be-
comes leader in the new imperialist
attack that is being planned against
the Soviet Union.
We would find, if Comrade Ruth
enberg were alive today, if his mute
ashes could speak, he would call to
the sailors of American Imperialism
not to move a single battleship
against the Chinese revolution, not a
single inch forward Of Wall Streets
battleships against the Soviet Union.
He would call upon the soldiers OF
America not to lif a single rifle, nor
fire single cannon in the imperial
list robber effort TO destroy the Chl-
nese revolution and the Soviet
Union.
He would call upon the workers in
the shops and mills and factories not
to produce a single round Of ammu-
milton to be used to combat the Chi
uese revolution and the Soviet Union.
He would call upon the soldiers,
sailors and workers to 60 over to the
side Of the social revolution and JON
in the struggle to destroy capitalism
the world over.

ers from all parts of the earth, of
all races, religions, nationalities and
colors, have come seeking freedom,
only to learn through bitter disap-
pointment that they must bend to the
yoke of what has now become the
greatest capitalist tyranny upon the
face of the earth. Ruthenberg was
an agitator, organizer, educator
among the workers. Ruthenberg was
always party man, always keeping
clear the vital need Of building the
vanguard party of labor, the Com
munist Party.
Comrade Ruthenberg was our Karl
Liebkneeht in America. When Amer
lean imperialism entered the world
war; Ruthenberg stood before h e
masses in the open places of his ma
tive city of Cleveland, Ohio. and de-
clared: "Not penny to pay for the
Wall Street War. Not man shall
the working class spare to fight the
capitalist war. Down with the cant
talist war; He raised the slogan of
war against war" and American
capitalism sent our Comrade Ruthen-
berg to prison because he dared
speak, brave and courageous, for the
working class of America.
And again, when you, my COM
rades of Moscow and of the Soviet
Union had achieved your victory, the
Bolshevik triumph OF 1917, Ruthen-
berg. as Our Leader, faced new per-
secutions. In rosnonse to the call Of
the Communist International, we.
organized our Communist Party in
the United States. 1t found its ex,
preston first in the Left Wing with
in the American Socialist Party, a
manifestation Of new revolutionary
development that again frightened
the American ruling class. New pro-
ceedings were started in the capital
list courts against Ruthenberg and
other comrades and some Of them
were sent to prison to serve for many
years in the bastilles Of American
capitalism.
Yes, they thought thus to destroy
the American Communist Party by
driving it into illegality But our
movement grew, our Party became
powerful and the capitalist rulers Of
America continued to become ever
more terrified at our success in win
ming workers to our standards in the
coal mines, on the railroads and gen
orally throughout capitalist industry.
