The Second International After 40 Years. I1e,IasnS Aid

cratic ministers in Berlin voted for
the building of the notorious ar
mored cruiser. Whilst the Executive
Committee of this international is
sued an appeal for May Day demon
strations, the German social democ-
racy celebrated the 40th anniversary
of the First of May with a blood
bath among the demonstrating work
ers in Berlin.
Social Fascist Instrument.
The reformist international is no
longer an instrument for disorganiz-
ing, confusing and disrupting the
labor movement; it is an instrument
for the conscious preparation of an
imperialist war against the first pro-
letarian state and for the establish
ment of a social fascist dictatorship
against the working cias-~
What once represented two differ
ent tendencies inside the framework
of one international organization,
now represents two hostile forces en-
gagged in life and death struggle.
The abolition of this split in the
working class movement by the uni
fication of the two organizations
which have resulted from it, an alb
surd illusion still nourished by some
'1eft-wing" social democrats, is as
impossible as a reconciliation be-
tween the bour-geoisie and the pro-
letariat, between world imperialism
and world Communism.
The shameful and treacherous role
of the social imperialist parties is
daily driving thousands of workers
out of their ranks, whilst the Com
munist International is advancing in
all countries to winning the majority
of the workers. This is the decisive
preliminary condition for the over
throw of capitalism and at the same
time the final destruction of reform
ism and the abolition of the split in
the international working class
movement.

frightened the bourgeois;e and
caused it to consolidate itself into
a reactionary block against the
working class, and to increase its
ornaments, both against the inter
nal enemy and against external enc
mics in an imperiaIist war.
In this new period the labor move
ment could not continue to exist in
its old form. The working class
movement was faced with the alter
natives of either adopting new forms
of revolutionary mass action with a
view to overthrowing the bour-
geoisie. as demanded by the left
wing, or utilizing the growing vot-
ing power of the working class par
ties and the increasing number of
labor deputies in parliament, etc,
with a view to winning positions
within the bourgeois state apparatus
and thus going the way of adapta-
ton to the bourgeois social order, as
propagated by the Revisionists.
The so-called "Marxist Center"
which was the leading group both
in Germany and in the international,
wanted to accept neither of the al
ternatives. 1t condemned the Re-
visionists and declared itself in ia
vor of "the old tried and trusted,
victorious tactic of the class strug-
gle"; at the same time, however, it
fought against the revolutionary al
tentative with hands and feet, cling
ing to the misrepresented and dis
torted words of Engels which for
decades were interpreted as re-
lection on principle of the armed
struggle of the profetariat for
power.
Mass Strike Discussion.
The discussions upon the question
CT the mass strike revealed Tie new
groupings within the German and
the international labor movement
and the development of the Center
which theoretically condemned ref
ormism, but by rejecting revolution
airy methods of struggle practically
allied itself more and more closely
with the right wing against the left
wing. In Germany this turning
point was sealed by the pact made
in 1906 between the Central Com
mittee of the German Social Demo-
cratic Party and the reformist trade
union bureaucracy, which repre-
scented no less a practical prohibi
ton of the political mass strike.
The trade unions, in which the quail
fled upper strata of the working
class dominated, became the strong
est bulwark of the reformist tenden-
cies, which represented the point of
view of the aristocracy of labor
which was bribed by imperialism and
was interested in the maintenance
of the capitalist order of society.

War INDUSTRY
IN CONTROL OF
Al FEW RICH
In Dupont, Morgan,
Rockefeller Hands

J. P. Morgan, money lender to the
world, is no less interested in coke
production, steel and ship building
than in finance.
Controlling the U. S. Steel Corp,
Morgan interests are now repre-
scented also on the board of the
Bethlehem Steel Corp. Steel COM
panies are the chief coke producers,
u. S. Steel Corp. is. the largest
single producer of bituminous coal
in the United States and most of
its coal goes to its own by-product
coke ovens.
In ship building, equally impor-
tant for war preparations, Morgan
interests control the great Todd
Shipyards Corp, a subsidiary of U.
S. Steel. Morgan has also entered
the race for oil, vital war indus
try, through the new Continental
Oil Co. which absorbed Marland
Oil. Profits of large companies in
these basic industries would be
doubled or trebled by another world
war.
Rockefeller and Arms.
Rockefeller, already rich in oil, is
we'll represented in Remington
Arms, one of the largest arms
manufacturing companies in the
United States. His Colorado Fuel
and Iron Co., bitterly anti-union as
are all these great companies, is
the largest steel producer west of
the Mississippi. Rockefeller is also
in Bethlehem Steel.
The DuPonts.
E. l. Dupont de Nemours Co.,
largest munitions corporation in the
world, is now making additional
profits from rayon or artificial silk.
The nitro-cellulose process of max
ing rayon in an artificial silk fac
tory can be changed overnight into
the production of dynamite. 1t is
probable that equipment in all rayon
plants, not only those using the
nitro-cellulose process, can be adapt
ed for explosives.
Munitions plants are thus extend
ed and maintained under the limo
cent name of rayon mills. Rayon
now brings in about one-seventh of
the vast DUPONT income. The Du-
Points, who tripled their fortune dur
ing the World War, now have heavy
investments in the General Motors
Corp. which brought them an income

BY ]. LEM (Berlin).

On July IA, 1889, on the hundredth
anniversary of the storming of the
Bastille, the Inaugural Congress of
the Second International took place
in Paris. The chairmen of the Con.
gress, the Commune leader, Vail
liant, and "the soldier of the revolu-
tion," Wilhelm Liebknecht, proudly
affirmed their loyalty to the revolu-
tionary traditions of the working
class movement, to the Paris Com
mune and to the work of the Inter-
national Workingmen's Association,
the First International, led by Marx
and Engels.
Four hundred and sixty-seven
delegates from 20 countries were
present at the congress. The sue
cess of the congress was all the
more marked on account of the fact
that the Possibilists, the reformist
wing Of the French labor movement,
had called an international counter
conference to take place in Paris
also. valiant declared in his speech
that the congress of the Second In
ternational was zone of the greatest
events in the history of the peo-
PIES" that it was the beginning of
"a new era of conscious and system
attic efforts to represent the rights
Of the oppressed, an era of system
attic and united action on the part
Of the international proletariat for
socialism," that it was "the guar
antee for certain and decisive vic
tory" Wilhelm Liebknecht COM
menced his speech with the words,
at is the proudest moment of my
life to stand here and see the full
filment of the ideal expressed in the
words, Workers of the World
United"
Hopes Not Fulfilled.
These words expressed the hopes
placed in the Second International by
the revolutionary workers of all
countries, the advance guard of the
international proletariat. These
hopes have not been fulfilled. At
the moment when the decisive test
came, at the moment when jnterna-
tional proletarian solidarity became
vital necessity for the working
class in the uttermost sense of the
