The Lenin memorial button is
here!
With the approach of the Lenin
memorial meeting Saturday eve
ming, Jan. 10, in Madison Square
Garden, thousands upon thousands
of workers in Greater New York
will soon be wearing the little token
in tribute to the revolutionary lead
er of the worlds proletariat and
as an expression against the grow
ing war danger.
The button, which bears profile
of Vladimir Ilyitch Lenin with sill

his birth and death and carries
two slogans on black border. One
inscription reads, Eight Imperial

the city and in the various trade
unions. They may be obtained for
distribution at the Workers Com

Remember Lenin's Words!
Speaking Of the last war, Lenin
said: *
"The war il filling the pockets
OF the capitalists, and a stream Of
gold is flowing to them from the
state treasures of the great Pow
ers. The war arouses blind hate
against the enemy, and the bour-

The Struggle Against Imperialist War
and the Tasks of the Communists

try to evade the concrete problems
of war politics by employing general
phrases and repeating abstract pro-
paganda slogans, instead of taking
Up practical tasks.
Partial Demands and Reforms.
This applies particularly to army
questions. In this a tendency is OBJ
served to evade the question of
fighting for concrete partial de-
mands and reforms which would ac-
tually weaken militarism (such as,
reduction of period of military serv-
ice, the question of the composition
of volunteer armies, etc.,. The
fight for reforms is left entirely to
the social democrats, against whom
no genuine proletarian political pro-
gram on the army question: pro-
gram for weakening militarism and
of practical proposals for the arm
ing of the workers-is put forward.
Only a few sections have taken
the necessary organizational mea-
sures for conducting systematic
anti-militarist work. The work
among soldiers and seamen in coun-
tries which are very important from
the point of view of war danger is
very unsatisfactory. The mass char
acter of this work, its use as a
means for carrying on agitation and
propaganda among the soldiers, are
not understood.
In some countries, anti-militarist
activity among the youth is conduct
ed on too restricted a basis, while
no attempt is made to establish an
adequate organizational base among
the masses of the soldiers. The fact
that work among sailors is not car
ried on with sufficient energy in i'm
perialist countries shows that the
role of the navy in a future war is
underestimate. In no country has
systematic use been made of family
influence upon the men serving in
the army or the navy, and upon re-
cruits.

which post he docs business" on a profit
able SCALE Doak's pride is in being publicly
known, among the railroad capitalists to
whom he sells out the railroad workers, as

Will not the consideration of this scab for
this strikebreaking office open the eyes of
some workers?
Of course none but an enemy of the work
ers could be part of the strikebreaking
machine-the capitalist government.
The awakening class-consciousness of the
workers leads toward the time of the de-
m clifton of the whole strikebreaking
machinery with the overthrow of the capt.
talist ruling class and setting up in it's place
a government of an entirely different sort

kind in which real representative of the

their activities to speeches in par
Lament and at public meetings, in
which speeches the question of war
is usually left in the background.
Our Parties have not yet learned to
combine the parliamentary struggle
against war with work outside of
parliament for the purpose of popu-
larizing our demands (the work of
the Czechoslovak Communists in
connection with the St. Gothard af-
fair and the despatch of arms to
China consisted of mild protests in
parliament and in the columns of
the press).
International problems must not
be separated from war problems,
for both are part of the general
class struggle and must be linked
up with class conflicts at home, par
tieularly with conflicts in enter
prises engaged solely in the produc-
ton of war material.
Abstract Attitude.
The INFLAMMATION of the armed
forces and the militarization of in
dustry are directly connected with
war and call for strenuous activity
in these branches of industry as
well as in the trade unions and other
labor organizations connected with
them. So far, there is little to show
that the Communist Parties have
commenced to take up these ele-
mentary tasks seriously.
68. The abstract manner in which
the war problem is regarded is
shown by the failure of the Par
ties to take up a definite position
on the question of war policy.
Sometimes the Parties either fail
altogether to react, or react too late,
to the anti-militarist tricks of the
social democrats, which frequently
find support among the masses (for
example the campaign conducted by
the social democrats in Germany in
which they posed as being sop
ponents of war on principle")

Lenin, the founder of the Com
munist International and of the
Bolshevik Party, and the chairman
of the First Council of Peoples
Commissars, was an indefatigable
worker for the Russian proletarian
revolution. Twice he was sentenced
by the Gar to Siberia and after
years Of incarceration, he went into
exile in Switzerland, in London, in
Cracow and in Finland, and from
all these points helped to direct
revolutionary activities of his COM
rades in Russia.

Lenin was a stern, keen, practi-
cal, unrelenting strategist. In the
turbulent days of the 1907 struggle,
he admonished his fellow-leaders:

REQUEST AIRPORT
Be INSIDE DISTRICT
Board of Trade Opposes Put
ting Proposed Model Field
In Adjacent States.

The Board of Trade. following an
emergency meeting of its executive COM
mittee, yesterday dispatched a letter to
Senator Bingham of Connecticut, chair
man Of the congressional joint air
port commission, vigorously protesting
against selection OF site for q model
airport outside the boundaries of the
District IL taxpayers of washington are
to be expected to pay the major share
81 it's cost
The executive committee of the trade
body authorized T.. j. Murphy, president
OF the organization, to take this action
on the basis of reports that the Airport
Commission was giving serious consid-
Grafton to selection Of a site ut Camp
Springs, Md, about 1917 miles from the
center of the city, for the airport.
Text Of Letter.
The letter said:
We feel that any airport located en-
tirely outside of the District Of Column
bia is not truly National Capital air
port, and, further, we. would be COM
pelled to voice strenuous objection to
any airport legislation which provides
for the expenditure of the money of the
citizens OF the District of Columbia in
any large amount for an airport OUT
side of the District and out of the juris-
diction of the District government.
Particularly would we object to any
such expenditure of District funds
when the testimony, as printed In the
record, Overwhelmingly brought out the
fact that an airport second to none can
be developed within the boundaries Of
the District.
I'VE fully expect to carry our fair
share in making possible q splendid
airport here, and we therefore re-
spectfully urge that you give serious
consideration to our view in this re-
gard"
Get Legal Advice.
It developed at the meeting that the
trade body had before 1t advice from
its law committee to the effect that If
land for the port were acquired outsidr
the boundaries of the District, the locf, |
government could. not have complete
control Of jurisdiction Of it unless th"
state In which it was located coded IN,
land to the District. Unless this was
done, it was held, the Federal Govern
ment would have to hold jurisdiction
Such plan would not make for a
Washington airport. but rather Fed
eral port, twas felt.
The trade body is on record for the
Grayelly Point site on the Potomac, but
since the congressional commission has
been studying sites. it has urged only
that the port be within the boundaries
of the District.

ations have perhaps entered critical
stage. ..,.s.-..
Policy Of Hands OF.
1t was known that Mr.. Morrow had
much to do with bringing about opening
of the negotiations for settlement of the
dispute which caused a critical state
of affairs in Mexico for the past three
years. However, he has observed q
hands-off policy since the arrival OF
Archbishop leopold Ruiz and Bishop
Pascual DiaZ a week ago. They have
talked with the president twice.
Although the general view of the
situation is still tinged with optimism,
that optimism is less marked than in
the early days Of the past week. Those
in position to know think the con-
freres have been confronted with the
greatest difnculties.
DisSenSiOn on Both Sides.
These difficulties we're brought about
by diSsenSion on both sides. There are,
among the government supporters as
well as those of the church. influential
elements opposed to settlement. unless
1t amounts to complete victory for
their respective causes.
On the other hand, what observers
term the more moderate elements on
each side are seeking to bring their
fellow thinkers to an accord for settle
ment on basis of compromise pro-
viding for an interpretation of the
laws now in effect. Neither side would
thus publicly cede ground.
Support for Moderates.
1t was said that the moderates had
the support of both President Portes on
and former President Plutarco Elias
Gales. An indication OF the feeling OF
the intrasigeants was the telegram sent
by the Governor of the State of Vera
Cruz yesterday to the President, in
which he said, The clergy and re-
dictionary press speak to the nation of
the return Of the well known repre-
sentatives of the dismal Catholic clergy
which still insists in its desire to break
the force and high justice of our laws.
which place limit on its ignoble am
billions.
They continue to darken the future
OF the nation after their criminal re-
bellion against the institutions of the
republic, offering perhaps a hypocritical
submission In order thus to better pre-
pare, rs they always have, a new SIMS
ter naneuver against these institutions
They want to return to the pulpit, the
confessional and the school in order to
resume their nlonstrous task of reform
ing the conscience and morality OF the
people, Mpsetting their liberation and
progress"
Governor Urges FirmuesS,
The governor urged the President TO
be Arm against. change in laws and I'M
luries to the constitute, n Labor or
carnations of the State Of Vera Cruz
sent similar messages to the President.
Masonic lodges and the State Legisla-
ture also put themselves on record as
opposing any change in the religious
laws
The die-hard elements on the church
side were believed to include those
who have lent aid to the so-called
Christero rebellion, which for three
years has gone on, chiefly in Jalisco
and surrounding states.
No date for further conference be-
tween the prelates and government
has been arranged and 1t seemed
probably that each would first attempt
to end dissension among their own
followers.

Approximately score OF the sturdy
vessels, guided by proud owners, took
part as the heats which decided their
fate started under the auspices Of the

Only Two Heats Ran.
Because Of the adverse weather con-
ditions. only two of the scheduled six
heats In the former event were run. and
to catch up, it was planned to resume
the competition at 2 o'clock this morn

this schedule tomorrow.
It was expected last night that the
finsiE for the Siesta Cup would be
staged today. however.
Skillfully unanswered over the CLASSY
water. the miniature yachts presented a
pretty picture. The results of the races
are figured on the basis of elapsed
