In the current season there has been
something like an epidemic of news

"The Front Page" written by Ben

Charles Mac Arthur, another veteran

But what this argument is all about
is that much newspaper handling of

Good newspapermen aver that the
newspaper characters are true to life,

and nobody needs be told that the
politicians in the play are true to life,

coarsest of the year and the air is full
of muggy static as the reporters and
a Hearst managing editor deal in their
various ways with the weekkneed,

in 1924, and vote of 130,927 in 1920
The socialist party's loss which is nothing
short of debacle for it, can be accounted
for as having disappeared into two other
channels. Those former supporters of the
socialist party that had become really class
conscious went over to the support of the
Communists, while large section of it's
middle class supporters went over to the side
of the democrats and Al Smith for the
simple reason that they could see no differ

LENIN'S COMPLETE WORKS

effected by means of the Bulletin
de Diffusion" a small periodical
serving the purpose of distributing
Communist literature.
A constructive diagram shows the
careful treatment and the develop-
ment of the work of translation.
Starting from the original text of
the Russian edition of the Lenin In
stitute, we can trace the work of
translation by means of various
specimen sheets at different stages.
An illustrative survey shows the
course of publication from the pre-
liminary proofs to the finished vol
ume and the preparation of subse-
quent new editions. Special men
ton should be made of the method
OF consultation employed in trans
lation. In the absence of an ideal
type OF translator with an equally
perfect knowledge of various lam
guages and of all the diverse realms
of thought, besides at least thirty
years experience of the Bolshevist
movement in theory and practice. it
was necessary to arrange for divi-
sion of work in the sense that the
rough translations were checked by
various collaborators from the
standpoint of special realms of
thought, the final publication being
effected on this basis. BY this
method the greatest degree of sue
cess was attained
A glance at the comparative pro-
duction of bourgeois and social DEM
ocratic publishers shows that the
entire get-up of the Lenin edition
is above criticism and technically
surpasses the best publications of
the bourgeois book trade. As re-
CARDS price, number of instances
show that it has been found pos
sible to reduce the costs of produc
ton to minimum and thus to pub
lish the complete international edi-
ton of the works of Lenin at price
defying all competition and amount
ing to no more than half, and in
the case of the German edition to
no more than one-third of that of
the corresponding editions of social
democratic and bourgeois concerns.
The complete international edition
of Lenin's works is, therefore, not
only theoretically and politically but
also from the standpoint of It's COM
prehensive character, a unique oc-
currence in the history of Socialist
literature. The scientific character
of this edition, which has even been
recognized by leading bourgeois ex-
perts, and the extraordinarily low
price, which renders the acquisition
of the books possible for every po-
litically minded worker, are factors
which are bound to break all pre-
vious records in regard to its sale.

Table Shows Progress.
A special table affords a survey
=
of the publishing program and the
progress of translation work in the
most important languages. 1t shows
that in spite of the great difficult
ties, especially in the technicalities
of the translation, the work is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The pro-
gram is being pursued with the
greatest energy and in each of the
principal languages from four to
six volumes may be expected to ap-
pear annually, the japanese edition
presumably keeping pace with the
others, so that in the course of the
next few years the workers of the
leading capitalist countries may
have the occasion of reading and
possessing the entire works of
Lenin, j. e., the entire historical ex-
perience of the Bolshevist move
ment.
Very ample material is furnished
by the exhibition in regard to the
propaganda for the works of Lenin.
In the democratic" countries the
compilers have to contend with the
greatest difficulties on the part of
the governments and of the mon
opolist enterprises on the book mar
kets. In France one of the official
bodies of the bourgeois book trade
has presumed to exercise an antici-
patory censorship of the text of the
Lenin edition. Another monopolis-
tic organization has refused to dis
tribute prospectuses on the grounds
that its customers might easily take
umbrage at such suggestion. In
spite of all these difficulties great
progress has been recorded in the
matter Of distribution. One of the
most successful methods adopted in
France has proved to be the special
offer of four volumes of the Lenin
edition at reduced price on the in
stallment plan and the propaganda

JAPAN-MURDER

the murder was the work of Japan
csc secret society and that promin-
ent persons in the Japanese army
were its aiders and abbettors.
The explosion occurred in the Jap
anese railway zone, which was pa
trolled by Japanese soldiers. Where
as on other occasions Chinese
soldiers were also employed to con-
troll the line when Chang Tso-lin
was travelling, the Chinese detach-
ment sent north for this purpose was
in this instance repudiated by the
Japanese commander and had to re-
main at some distance from the line.
Foreign authorities on combustiles
have, moreover, established that the
dynamite charges, IL in number and
each weighing about eight pounds
were inter-connected BY wires. These
charges were inserted in respective
containers and placed at a point
where the South Manchurian Rail-
way crosses viaduct. Close by
there are two Japanese block huts
controlling the point in question. 1t
is impossible that the guard should
not have observed the preparations
for the crime, unless, as Simpson
asserts, they had received orders to
see nothing. Before the train bear
ing Chang Tso-lin entered the jap
anese zone, some Japanese advisers
who were accompanying Chang,
quilted the train on the pretext of
being obliged to remain behind. FL
nally, the very precision with which
the explosion ensued, is a proof that
it had been prepared long in adj
vance, so that the coach in which
Chang Tso-lin sat should on no ac-
count be missed and that the ex-
plosion should have its full effect.

The Communist Party Gains

n On the basis of the votes accredited to the
Workers (Comnunist) Party candidates in
Greater New York by the manipulators of
the election machinery it is evident that the
party of the class struggle almost doubled
its vote since 1924, the last presidential
election
lie average vote in 1924 for the six lead
ing candidates of the Workers Communist
Party was 5,432; the average vote for the
candidates running for the same offices this
year was 9,678.
It is clear, to be sure, that the vote is small
IN comparison with the tremendous influence
Of the Party among the masses. Since 1924
the Workers Communist Party in New
York as elsewhere, has become the I'M
disputed leader of all militant struggles In
the bitter strikes involving the needle trades,
where the most determined struggle had to
be waged against the combined reaction of
the employers, the Tammany police and
courts and the yellow socialist party, the
Workers (Communist) Party played the lead
ing role. In the tremendous Sacco and Van
zettl demonstrations where hundreds of thou
sands OF workers were modified in direct
political demonstrations against the capt.
tailst state, the Party was unquestionably the
leader and was so recognized by countless
tens of thousands who went into the streets
IN protest against the murder plots of the
Fullers and other agents of the strike-break
ing government. The New York workers are
also familiar with the role of the Party in the
great struggles throughout the country, es
pecially the struggles of the coal and textile
workers.
If the hundreds of thousands who come I'M
der the influence of the Workers (Commu-
mst) Party had not been prevented from
voting by various election procedure which
deprlVes millions of workers in some of the
biggest industries of the franchise the Com
munist vote would have been far larger than
it was

ever while showing that the vote for Com
munism doubled, also revealed the fact that

1t will certainly be remembered
how, Immediately after the bombing
of the train which was carrying
Chang Tso-lin from Picking to Muk-
den, the Japanese telegraph agency
lost no time in Establishing" that
the bombs came from Soviet Russia
From this both the Japanese and
British press promptly inferred that
interested Soviet circles are impli-
Gated in the crime. At that time the
press Of the Soviet Union already
declared these false reports to be
nothing but "put up" camouflage
on the part of Japan. In the mean
time revelations have also been made
by circles hostile to the Soviet Union
which indicate quite Individually that
the attack on the life of Chang Tso-
lin was deliberately planned and
carried out by the Japanese and that
the official Japanese quarters in
Manchuria approved of the deed.
A month ago the British press in
China reported on a statement made
by Lennox Simpson, well-known in
and outside China under his PEN
name of Putnam Weale, in which he
openly and on the basis of observa-
lions made by him at Mukden, ac-
cused Japan of having carefully
planned and executed the bombing
of Chang Tso-lin's train. For many
years, indeed, right down to the time
of Chang Tso-lin's death, Lennon
Simpson was his adviser, just as he
was at the same time unofficial rep
Of Great Britain in the
camp Of that general. Upon his re-
turn to Mukden from his latest jour
ney, he reported to the "Peking and
Tientsin Times" Of August 18th that
