appointed judges who have sent
hundreds of strikers to jail, dona-

returned by the authorities to the
mill owners as tax rebates on their
property and the immediate ter

mass picketing, are three of the
outstanding demands to be made of
Governor Fuller when the commit
tee of 40 strikers go to Boston to
keep their appointment with him.
Although by no means Utopian
enough to believe that Fuller will
concede these justifiable demands,
the leaders of the textile strikers

Thus, | have analysed the mutual
relations between internal and ex-
ternal problems. l have emphasized
that an eclectic approach to this
question is impermissible. This
analysis has brought out the neces-
sity for a firm and determined line
and the necessity for concentrating
attention on the problem of war;
the need for linking up this problem
with all other problems, the need
for special propaganda and agita-
ton in order to prepare the pro-
letariat for the struggle against tbs
bourgeoisie and against social dem
ocracy. Such is our fundamental
tactical line. 1t is the only possible
line for the Communist Interna

Take British Communist for ex-
ample. What sort of agitation
must he carry on among the masses
when, for example, he has to lead,
say, a small strike? The fight
against restriction of trade union
rights in any form must be linked
up with the fight against the Trade
Union Act. In its turn the fight
against the Trade Union Act must
be linked up with the fight against
"Mondism" and With the fight
against war. The fight against
war must be- linked up with the
fight for the dictatorship CT the
proletariat. If he does not act in
this way he is not a Communist.

with everyday problems, and the
other orientation which certainly
does link up every day to day de-
mand with the problem of war
the problem which in our day is the
central problem. In their tactics
Communists must unfailingly link
up every minor, everyday problem
with the big general problems. 1t
goes without saying that this calls
for considerable ability. High
sounding phrases are not enough.
We must employ astute methods of
propaganda and agitation; not iso-
late but coordinate them and sub
ordinate all problems to the prob
lem of war. In criticizing the So

know the price" and know the in
calculable suffering that the imper-
ialist bourgeoisic inflicted upon hu-
lnanity. In our day to day work
we must point to the danger of war
in connection with every day to day
question of any Importance. We
could quite easily give up this
trump card, but it would be very
silly thing to do from the political
point of view. I want to put this
question very clearly before the
comrades and ask them to ponder
over it. In my opinion we may
make two estimations of the situa-
ton, and from each of these, differ
ent tactical ordinations will follow.
One orientation is that which does

is, we have these words written in
black and white by Lenin. Shall we
say that this was an "incautious'
expression to use? I do not know
whether this forecast will be re-
allied, but l do know that such a
danger exists in view of the under
estimation of the war danger.
ask you what other danger is there
to compare with this one? Almost
none, for this is the fundamental
question Of the whole situation.
How the Question of External and
Internal Contradictions Should
be Presented,
! ask you to verify the question
as to whether this is the fundamen-
tai question or not. If you decide
that this is the fundamental question
then it will be easy for you to draw
the necessary conclusions. In my
opinion, attempts to transfer the
center Of gravity from the question
Of the war danger to that of the
internal contradictions or to some
other, imply failure to understand
the seriousness of the situation.
This question is closely connected
with the under-estimation of the in
Prevention which has already COM
menced in China. l think also that
1t is connected with what referred
to in my speech: the inadequate in
ternationalism of our Communist
Parties.
The question of the internal con-
tradicticns and the connection these
have with the external contradic-
tons is very complicated one.
have already pointed out that
some comrades, as it were, put the
internal contradictions in one pocket
and the external contradictions in
the other. Such an attitude does
not correspond to the objective state
of affairs and must inevitably lead
10 erroneous tactical conclusions.
Let us examine the question. First
Of all ask you: is revolution pos

we in this case draw a sharr line

Now take another category of
factors. Why should we deal only

politics and partly also economic
policy. We talk about industrial
peace" "Mondism," about the
treachery of social democracy and
of how it is becoming merged with
the state apparatus, etc. All this
is 100 per cent true. But try and
explain these processes merely from
the point of view of the growth of
internal contradictions. You will
not be able to explain them. What
is peace in industry" 1t is the
most sharply expressed form of the
class truce-the best form of war
preparations. Those who fail to
understand that, lose sight of the
very essentials of the question. Why
was the Trade Union Act passed in
Great Britain? Is it possible for us
to understand this internal act if
we ignore external problems and
completely lose sight of the prep
arations for war? If we ignore this
point, in this way we shall be in
capable of carrying on any agita-
ton whatever against this act. Does
not the new orientation of social
democracy towards the internal
question of class truce intensity the
treacherous role of social democ-
racy in foreign politics? Is this
not clear to every infant? Is there
anyone so foolish as to deny the
connection that exists between Paul
Boncour's military law with the in
ternal situation in France as well
as with it's foreign relationships? l
could quote numerous examples of
e. similar character. But the ex-
amples l have already quoted are
sufficient to convince US that all
other problems are subordinate to
the central problem Of the war dan
ger, to the problem of war. This
applies to the problems of internal
politics and to internal contradic-
tions. Any other approach to the
question Of internal politics and to
the tactical problems connected
with them are unsound and GER
tainly not revolutionary.
The Fight Against the War Danger
Must Permeate All Our Day to
Day Work.
We all start out from the point
that it is necessary to intensity our
day to day mass struggle. Several
Parties are limping along very
badly in this respect. But every
one is agreed with the theory of it.
What then is the difference between
our day to day work and the day
to day work Of the social demo-
Gratis? There surely must be diff
ference. What is this difference :?
The difference is that Communists

mediate revolutionary situation can
arise only in connection with war.
1t is true that history shows that in
a majority of cases revolutions have
been connected with war. Examples
of these are: the Paris Commune,
which arose during the Franco
Prussian war; the first great rev.
olution in Russia in 1905, which
broke out immediately following the
Russo-Japanese war; the February
and October Revolutions of 1917 in
Russia and number of European
and Asiatic revolutions, which broke
out in connection with the world
war-all these revolutions were
closely connected with wars. But
can it be asserted that in our times
an immediate revolutionary situation
in countries like Germany and
Czechoslovakia can arise. only in
connection with war? Such an as
sertion would be absurd and from
the practical point of view it would
imply that we must "wait" for war
to break out, and that we must
take into account only one single
perspective in our work. The ques-
ton is: must we, as subjective fac
tors, as definite force, prepare for
revolutionary situations under all
circumstances Of course we must.
I repeat, it would be absurd to pro-
pose any other tactics. But, speak
ing generally, the degree of proba-
bility Of revolution in either OF these
cases are not the same. I would
formulate this in the following way:
immediate revolutionary situations
are possible, and perhaps even prob
able in Europe say, even without
wars; but it is absolutely inevitable
in the event of war. In the event
of war revolution is historically in
evitable; wars will be inevitably ac-
companied by revolutions. Thus, it
would be radically wrong to deny
the possibility of an immediate rev.
dictionary situation arising as a re-
suit of the development of internal
contradictions alone.
Rejecting as I do the eclectic
point of view of the comrades who
isolate internal from external con-
tradictions I must deal with the mu-
tual >relations of these contradic-
tons.
What are the mutual relations
between these two categories of
facts, where is the function point,
which is to serve as the starting
point or the conclusions we must
draw? In my opinion, world econ
|omic contradictions, the great world
conflicts are of first class Import
ance in this respect. Take England
for example. Are the internal con-
tradictions becoming more acute
there? Of course they are. The
growth of those contradictions in
Great Britain are connected With
the process of decline of the British
Empire. But has not the process
of decline of the British Empire its
roots, in the majority of cases, in
the international station? Is it
not due to the competition of the
United States, to the centrifugal
tendencies of the British Dominions
and partly also of the colonies, and
number Of other international fac
tors? Picture to yourself differ
ent international milieu for British
capitalism, and the results will be
altogether different.

Airplane- Carrier Ships Have
Elaborate Radio Equipment

An idea of the scale on which radio
operations may be carried on with
the two new airplane-carrier ships
the Saratoga" and the Lexington
NAV be obtained from the fact that
each ship carries six hundred loud
speakers, eight receivers and four
transmitters.
Each of these vessels contains six
hundred apartments, each of which is
equipped with a loudspeaker. While
other large naval vessels are equipped
with the public address system, these
airplane carriers are the first ships to
be provided with system enabling
the Immediate issuance of orders by
an officer to all of the personnel from
any one of several central stations.
The main transmitter will be the
most powerful on any naval vessel
and will have a reliable range of
1000 miles. The other transmitters
will cover wide range of power and
wavelengths, and each one has spe-
cifie service to perform in connection
with the operation of the large num-
Der of planes and other units of the
battleship fleet.
A special type of receiving system
is employed which permits simul-
taneous transmission and receptions
on several different wavelength chan
nels without mutual interference.
The eight receiving sets on each
vessel are enclosed in one cabinet
Radio compasses are provided for ma
vigational purposes and for the
guidance of scouting planes returning
to their carrier.
The antenna system on these twin
sister ships is different from any pre-
vious installation on naval vessels
The masts and wires have been elm
mated from the port side and placed
on the starboard side in order to make
clearance for long flying deck that
extends over the top of the ship, from
stem to stern.
The aerial is a thirty-six-inch cage
constructed of three bronze wire rope:
the whole conforming to the flat-tol
vertical type antenna. The latter mus
be lowered when the ship passes un
der the Brooklyn bridge and facili
ties for that purpose have been pro
vided.
