of the anarchist paper in Chicago in 1886
after the victims of the Haymarket frame
up were arrested. They forgot that Dietzgen,
himself, had carried on long controversies
with August Spies before the conspiracy
against the S-hour movement.
In spite of number of shortcomings, the
works of Dietzgen are Of immense value to-
day. Certainly they are an excellent anti
dote to the present-day pseudo-psychology
of the Freudians with their twaddle about
the unconscious. Particularly is Dietzgen
useful against such spurious doctrines as
those propounded by Max Eastman who
talks learnedly of "the logical instinct of an
unborn child" (P. 70; Since Lenin Died)
Dietzgen shows that there can be no thought
without contact with some material object
He states:
"The materialist theory of knowledge
amounts then to this statement that the hui
organ of cognitiOn radiates metaphysi-
cal light, but is piece of nature which pic
lures other pieces of nature. Our facul-
ty of cognition is not a supernatural source
of truth, but mirror like instrument which
reflects the things of the world, of nature"
Lenin in his remarkable work, material
ism and Empirio-Criticism," gives Detzgen
credit for his work. and at the same time
criticises certain shortcomings of
which were the result of unclear expressions
rather than fundamental misconception
Says Lenin:
Taking Dietzgen whole he does not
deserve to be very much censured. He is
nine-tenths materialist and made any
pretensions to originality boosted special
philosophy distinct from materiaism. He
spoke of Marx many times, and invariably
the head of the movement. Dietzgen
MARKHAM
One fact should be remembered in connec-
ton with the celebration of the Dietzgen
centenary and that is that so-called pro
found" questions of science and philosophy
are not the monopoly of any group in So
ciety and is not attained by the display of
sheepskin diploma from university. The
mind of a worker is as capable of grasping
such things as that of doctor of philosophy
And when the final estimate of his work
has been made, that is when in a society
without masters or slaves the history of the
proletarian world revolution is written,
Dietzgen will occupy prominent place
therein.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Dec. T.
The number of men engaged in the
shore fisheries of Nova Scotia in
1927 was 40 per cent less than in
1890. There was also a substantial
decrease in the number of men en-
ployed in the deep sea fisheries.
But the value of the fish catch of
the province in 1927 was greater
than in 1890 by more than 600 per
cent.
The decline in the number of
shore fishermen is attributed by the
majority report of the Maclean
Commission, which recently investi-
gated the maritime fisheries, to
overproduction, following the en-
ployment of steam vessels operat-
ing beam and otter travis, a drag
net towed over the bottom.
According to the fishermen's
statements, when there are large

for itself reputation for championing the cause
of the young workers everywhere particularly dur
ing strikes. It has widespread circulation
among the young miners during the last miners
strike, and very popular, the young miners
sidering it their paper, because of the mill
tant way it fought for them. The same can also
be said of the textile workers in New Bedford.
The Young Worker fills need in the working
class movement. 1t is organizing the working youth
to fight against the danger, against capitalist
mtarism, for the 6-hour day. 5-day week. against
child labor, for organization of the young workers
In the election campaign it also fought for the fran
chise for the youth In short, the Young Worker
is the constant champion of the demands of the
young workers and fights energetcally for their in
terests. 1t is the organizer of the young workers
in the struggle against capitalism.
1t is urgently necessary to establish weekly
Young Worker. Every worker and working class
organization should help the Communist youth
achieve this task. Money and inquiries should be

tistics regarding our press. AS early
as 1922 we surpassed the circulation
totals of the best pre-war years. Be-
fore the war there appeared in the
whole country 100000 copies of
newspapers in the aggregate. AS
early as 1926 we had 100000. Our
book production in 1927 was as great
as before the war in regard to the
number of publications, but the ac-
tual number of volumes was per
cent greater. The returns of scien-
tific editions are particularly in
structive and interesting. In 1910,
AGA works of scientific interest were
published, comprising 5000 printed
pages and an aggregate edition of
10 million copies. If we take the year
1927, we shall see that there are
detailed statistics in this regard. In
that year, 945 purely scientific
works were published with total
edition of 16 million copies. In 1910,
the number of technical books of in
struction published was 100000
copies. In 1926 the total was $4,000
900, or just ten times as many. Paw

published in 10000 copies at three

that such a large edition of so diff

Scientific Work.
Our scientific work has not only
not ceased, but has rather constantly
been developing since the revolution
A series of international congresses
have shown that our scientists can
record important and interesting
results of their research work, Par
ticularly instructive in this respect
was the Congress of Biologists in
America. Alongside the development
of sciences in general, we have in
particular cultivated Marxism. Ir

"We're Not for Sale,
Mr.. Hoover" Remarks
South American Paper

MONTEvIDEO, Uruguay, Dec. 7.
Under the heading America is
Not For Sale" (referring to the fact
often forgotten in the United States
that it is not all of America), the
newspaper "Diario del Plata" COM
ments on the trip Of Hoover again
as it did two days ago, in a hos
tile tone.
The paper declares that the news
about the "unanimity" of Latin
American opinion with the ideas of
Hoover is impossible in reality, be-
cause that would mean that Latin
American opinion accepts the the
cry Of Coolidge in respect to the
right of the United States to inter-
vene with armed forces. in whatever
conflict occurs in Latin America.
The editorial ends by saying that
Hoover is wholly mistaken if he
thinks Spanish America can be won
with gold (referring to loans), be-
cause Latin America does not ac-
cept the historic phrase of the Gaze
sars: "This city is for sale: only
it lacks buyer"

covery and evinces a pronouncedly
revolutionary aspect. It's great
achievements in the direction of rep
resentative technique and stage
management have been recognized in
all the world. The repertory of our
theatre, too, has improved, being in
fluenced by the requirements of the
country. True, our dramatic litera
ture still falls short, both in quantity
and in quality, of the requirements
of the country and even of the re-
quirements of the theatre and of its
possibilities, but ideoolg.cally it is
infinitely superior to that of the rest
of Europe or of America.
Proletarian Literature.
Russian fiction has of late been
giving signs of a remarkable rise,
but at the same time of a variegated
theological surface. We are graft
fled to say proletarian literature is
increasing. In the realm TO poetry
and the drama it has achieved re-
markable success and has particu-
larly developed in regard to novels.
We can already boast considerable
library permeated by sincere pro-
letarian spirit and bearing compari-
son with the best productions of
Russian literature in general. l may
point to three novels which have ap-
peared almost simultaneously and
all of them quite recently, "Bruski"
by Panserov, "Tichij Don" by Sho-
lochov, and "Lieso-Zavod" by Kara
vayeva. These three novels deserve
to be translated into all civilized
languages. They are, however, by no
means single instances; there are a
number of products which at times
attain the same level. I may call to
mind the highly artistic works pub
lished by the proletarian writers
Fadeiev, Lebedinski, Gladkov, and
/ others.
A less important reflection of the
cultural revolution is to be found in
the realm of the creative arts and
of music. We may point to the re-
Gently apparent interest of the
masses in art exhibitions, concerts,
and museums. This broad contact
with the main masses of the work
ing and peasant public is the guar
Bantee of a further sound develop
ment Of these branches of art.

Lack of organization explains

organizer could probably get results

ROCKET AUTO
MAKES SPEED
IN FIRST TEST
New Invention of Ger
man to Go Around
World in Day, Be-
lieves Its Builders

BERLIN, May 2S.-Pl-The "Opsn
rocket car" propelled forward by the
explosion of rockets placed in the
rear of the machine was demonstrat-
cd for the first time on the Avus
speedway today. attaining a speed
~variously estimated at 100 miles an
hour. Fritz von Open was at the
wheel.
The car started with a terrific oar
emitting a sheet OF flame and a cloud
of yellow smoke as the successive
rockets exploded. The machine gain
ed momentum as one rocket after an
other, all of uniform power, was shot
off, the car taking a lunge forward
every time a fresh rocket exploded.
Won Open said the machine was
not intended to revolutioniZe motor
ing, but was a practical step toward
solution Of the problem OF flying at
a terrific speed through the highest
attitudes Of the earth's atmospheric
strata with the object of making a
flight between Europe and America
within a few hours or encircling the
earth within n day.
A motor-driven airplane. he said,
ceases to be effective at the highest
attitudes because of inability to carry
2 requisite amount Of oxygen. This
obstacle, he said. can be overcome by
the rocket system which he said vas
discovered in an old Latin manuscript
Of 1920.
Won Open did not attempt to at
tain a maximum speed in today's
trial. but will make an effort next
month on a straight-away railway
stretch with a car on rails to shatter
existing speed records.
Won Open recently said that dur
ing trials with a driverless motor
car, a speed Of 400 miles per hour was
attained for a few seconds.
He is of the opinion that there is
practically no limit to the speed
which could be reached by the new
machine. which has the appearance
Of the ordinary racing car, except that
the back part consists Of a steel
chamber with IL round openings out
of which project the steel pipes from
which the rockets are discharged.
Fuses are connected with the pipes
and are linked up on an auto switch
board and are controlled from the
drivers seat. The rockets arc dis
charged by means of an electric spark
and a sheet Of flame bursts out from
behind the car which shoots off at a
terrific speed enveloped in a cloud
OF smoke.
The drawback 10 the new invention
is that each rocket costs a small for
tune.

been postponed indefinitely. Notice
Of the postponement was received by
Missouri Pacific and Southern Pa

night.
While no definite date has been
fixed for the E=-&ing. it is under
stood it will be held the latter part
