The Speeches
of BebeI and .
W.LiebRnecht

INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHERS,
a 3S1 Fourth Avenue, New York,
have just published selections OF
speeches of the founders and leaders
of the revolutionary workingclass
movement in Germany,-August Be
bel and Wilhelm Liebknecht. These
two great workingclass leaders, con-
temporaries of Marx and Engels,
gave of their rich experience in the
international labor movement to the
building Of a powerful political and
economic movement of the German
workers. For two generations they
stood as the outstanding revolution
airy spokesman in Germany, and the
the volumes of their speeches, pub
lished in the series ''Voices of Rev
olt" as numbers 6 and 7, contain
some of the best and most signif-
icant addresses. The speeches CON
tanned in the Liebknecht and the
Bebel volumes, are either from those
made at Party congresses or in the
Reichstag, where both served for
many years.
Beginning with the period Of the
Franco Prussian War, 1870 1871
when both spoke against the war and
were the first to vote against war
credits, for which they were later
imprisoned, down through the history
of the organizing of the revolutionary
socialist movement, the period of the
anti-socialist laws, the voices of these
stalwart leaders were heard by the
workers in Germany and throughout
the world. Their speeches contained
in these volumes deal with important
questions of tactics, organization,
political action, and problems of
mass revolt. Instructive introductions
and explanatory notes are included
in each volume. The price of each
is so cents, as in the case of all the
other volumes of this series ''Voices
of Revolt" which includes the speech
es of Robespierre, Marat, Lassalle,
Karl Liebknecht, Danton, Lenin, Debs
and Ruthenberg.
The publication Of these two vol
umes, added to those on Lassalle and
Karl Liebknecht previously published,
offers books on the best-known names
in the German revolutionary move
ment. The publishers promise that
they will soon add another illustrious
name: that of Rosa Luxembourg, to
the series. No one who is interested
in the history and growth of the
German revolutionary movement car
20 without reading the four German
volumes already published.

Karl Marx and
Class Struggle
Reviewed by CY OGDEN.

S far as am concerned the honor
does not belong to me for either
having discovered the existence of
classes in present society or of the
struggle between the classes. Bour-
geOis historians a long time before
me expounded the historical develop
ment of this class war and the bour-
geois economists the economical struc-
ture of classes. What l did was to
prove the following: ~ That the
existence of classes is connected only
with certain historical struggles
which are characteristic of the de-
velopment of production; CD That
class war indispensably leads to the
dictatorship of the prCletariat; (3)
That this dictatorship is only a tran
sition othe destruction of any classes
and to society without classes

Cat
Is Let ont of Bag

In response to a letter from the
Autobiography League asking for
information as to the elections in
foreign countries which the United
States has supervised, Secretary of
State Kellogg replied:
ELECTIONS have been held under
the protection and supervision of the
United States or have been observed
by American officials or unofficial
American witnesses in the countries
indicated and in the years men
toned:
Panama, 1908-American wit
nesses mot representatives APP

American supervisors. 1918

"Haiti, 1916-Under American
protection. 1920-Under American
supervision.
Dominican Republic, 1913-Amer-
lean Commission to supervise. 1914
Observed by American officials
Cuba, 192o-American observ-
ers."
1t is significant that American
Imperialism is now controlling or
attempting to control all those coun-
tries whose elections it has SO be-
nevolently supervised. The Mica
raguan liberal forces are remember
ing the experiences of other Latin
American countries when they OPP
pose SO bitterly the supervision of
Nicaraguan elections by the Wall
Street government.

Reviewed by CY OGDEN.
THE Farmers and Peasants Inter
national has been publishing for
over year a periodical dealing with
the problems Of the peasantry called
The Farmers and Peasants Interna-
tional Correspondence. This periodi-
cal resembles the Inprecorr not only
in its title and general appearance but
also in its Importance as a source Of
information for revolutionary work
ers.
In addition to this valuable period
cal the international Peasants Coun-
Gil has undertaken to satisfy the need
for correct information on the condi-
ton of the peasantry by publishing a
series of pamphlets each one of which
will deal with the history and present
state of the revolutionary peasant
movement in single country. The
pamphlets under review are the first
two of the series which, according to
the editors, will consist of fifteen
volumes each from so to 100 pages
in length.
The first volume by MecherialUv
is in the nature Of an introduction
to the entire series. "Its purpose"
say the editors, "is to acquaint the
reader with the various stages of the
revolutionary struggle of the peasan-
try, with the teachings of Lenin on
the role of the peasant in the revo-
luton, with the economic and politi-
cal roots of the modern peasant move
ment and with the fundamental lines
upon which this movement is proceed
ing" 1t does all this and even more.
1t is the meatiest pamphlet that this
reviewer has come across for some
time. Beginning with a sketch of the
revolutionary peasant movement in
the past, IL 1olloWS with number OF
quotations from Marx and Engels on
the role of the peasantry and then
with a long section on the attitude of
Lenin towards the peasantry. This is
followed by a section on the econom-
les of the peasant movement and a
final chapter on the correct revolu-
tionary attitude towards the peasan-
try.
The second pamphlet deals with the
peasant movement in Indionesia. AL
though somewhat eclipsed by the
more dramatic events in China the de-
velopments in Indionesia are of great
importance and should be studied
carefully. This pamphlet describes
the movement in detail and furnishes
much valuable data on the economic
situation in Indionesia.

Plans for the grounding and housing
of the huge air liner were made several
days ago.
The dirigible will be housed in the
large hangar where the Los Angeles

Oficials said the hangar would be
plenty large enough to accommodate
the ship.
No difficulty is expected in grounding
the Zeppelin. officials explained the
task would be similar to that entailed
in landing the Los Angeles, which has
become routine to the ground crew
stationed here.

here to replace whatever gas Is freed

Guilty will be in caring for the crowds.
Extra details of State police and sail
ors will be on duty to handle traffic.
Automobiles will be parked about half
a mile from the hangar. and it is ex-
pected a shuttle bus will be operated
between the parking space and the area
allotted for visitors to view the landing.
Smoking will not be permitted In the
vicinity of the ship, due to the inflam-
mable nature of the gas 1t carries. Ger
tain hours will be designated for visitors
and plans for the construction of a
platform alongside the gondola to af-
ford a view of the control cabin and
the passengers quarters

There were also futile supplications
from musicians and from film struck
damselS, who sought the shortest route
to Hollywood
The passengers, who in the last few
days were jubilant and animated. were
cody business-like when the hour drew
near for the start.
The first passenger to arrive at the
hangar was Lieut.. Comdr. Charles E.
Rosendahl, U. S. NJ commander of the
American dirigible Los Angeles:0He was
in his naval uniform.
A half-hour before the takeoff the
officers were given few minutes respite
for last farewellS with their wives. The
pilots cage was decorated with floral
offerings from families of the crew and
their admirers.
Eckner Last Aboard.
When DR.. Eckener, last of all, quickly
assembled to the cabin pulleys were
attached to running blocks on rails on
each side of the hangar and the
Zeppelin was drawn out slowly and
steadily as the initiation gas gently rip
pied the surface of the balloon. Within
two minutes it was in the open field.
The hawsers were detached and the
airship f1oated, although still held close
to the ground by 200 husky workmen
who clung to the gunwale running
along the lower surface of the ship.
In response to sharp order from
the pilots cage, the workmen let go
and the huge silver ship rose to level
of between $50 and 200 feet, with its
heavy load of passengers and $4,000
cubic meters of hydrogen; $4,000 cubic
meters 0f fIIpl ond rncoruo nF A
tons of benzine. The fuel load was
sufficient for flight of 100 hours and
range of 10000 kilometers (about
$500 miles,.
Officers from an open doorway and
passengers from the windows waved
their handkerchiefs in farewell. There
was burst of "hochS" and "hurrahS"
from those below. The airship circled
once over Friedrichshafen headed west.
Crowd Departs Quickly.
AS the airship dipped out CT sight
over the north shore of Lake Constance
newspaper men in cars and afoot began
stampede for the telegraph Office,
visitors departed by automobile and
train, and au hour later Fredrichs-
hafen had resumed its usual aspect of
peaceful tranquility.
The time of the Zeppelin's arrival in
Lakehurst, N. j., all depends on DR..
Eckener's ability to avoid depression
at sea and to pick route which is
likely to carry him across with mini
mum of adverse winds, in the opinion
of experts who saw the start today.
They estimated that the ship would
reach Marseille at pm, French time,
and then would hit the southeast coast
of Spain, where he would be likely to
turn west, flying over Gibraltar. Un-
der these circumstances he would reach
the open sea about 10 o'clock tonight.
The route over the Gulf of BiScay
was abandoned because of stormy con-
ditions, making it necessary to go 500
miles out of the way.

Publisher Tells of Affair in
Paris After Conference

Following conference with President

Following a conference with President
Coolidge at the White House this after.
noon, William Randolph Hearst, pub
Usher, announced that he has ordered
Harold Horan, Paris correspondent of
the New York American, to come
home" because he fears the French will
put him in Jail"
Horan was held, by French police fer
seven hours Monday and questioned
as to how he obtained memorandum
of the French foreign ministry or t!ic
Franco-British navai accord.
Declared Domestic Affair.
Hearst declared that Horan's arrest
was "a domestic matter with France"
and expressed the opinion that there is
nothing that the United States can dc
about it,
"I told Horan to come home" Hearst
said. Il am afraid those people over
there will put him in Jail and do not
want that worry. I think that the
English we're glad that the documents
were published. 1t cleared the atmos-
phere, and editorial comment was fa-
vorable to its publication.
II think that Horans arrest is a
domestic matter with France. There is
nothing that the United States can do
under the circumstances. Apparently,
France acted within her legal rights, but
do think that the French authorities
are acting like spoiled children In
fact I think that France has been act
ing that way all over Europe, creating
antagonismS everywhere
Il do not think France would win
any popularity contest in Europe today"
The ostensible purpose of Hearst's
visit to the President was to report
the Republican trend of the poll being
taken by Hearst newspapers on the
presidential candidates.
GOebeI Sees President.
Col. Art Goebel, Dole flight winner
paid his respects to the President this
