Gem Scott "he would have commenced by a
perfect blockade Of every Southern port on the
Atlantic and the Gulf Then he would have
collected large force at the Capital for de-
1enstve purposes, and another large one on the
Mississippi for offensive operations. The Sum-
mer months, during which it is madness to
take troops South Of st. Louis, should have
been devoted to tactical instruction and with

Civil War, and the troops ON both sides were
about as raw and green M any troops that ever
went into battle. Strange 70 sAy, by the time
night came on, both sides thought they were
licked. The Union troops. however. got their
retreat well under way before the Confederates
realized that they were masters q the field,
and were in no condition to follow up what
could have been made q most disastrous defeat:
as it was, it came Is near being q debacle as
one could imagine, and indeed, one would be
even justified in calling 1t such.
Gen. Mcdowell was in command Of the
Union forces and Gems Beauregard and john
ston in charge of the Confederate troops, while
Lieut.. Gen. Winfield Scott, the ranking Army
oficer at the time, was quietly meditating in
the War Department over what he considered
bad move, but could not prevent History
recognizes Scott as great general.
1t is nice to get into the musty old news
paper files, for here, sometimes we find bits Of
information which today are almost forgotten.
or course, after the Bull Run engagement,
everybody was passing the buck"-just as
they do today-and Gen. Scott was being
blamed most for the defeat, and along this
line Is an interesting article published at the
time that undoubtedly puts Gen. Scott in q
true light so far as this particular battle is
concerned. It relates to the remarks made by
Representative william A. Richardson-who
succeeded Stephen A. Douglas in the Senate
tives Wednesday July "A, 1861. Upon this oc-
casion Representative Richardson said:

President ought to remove me today for do

father having fallen beneath the nag Of their

MFR. Washburne: AS my colleague has refer

Mr.. Richardson: 7 WIN DO so. Your con-
veEsation implies said the President to Gen.
Scott, that forced you 10 battle To which
Gen. Scott replied, Z have never served under

having forced him to fight the battle Gen.
Scott thus paid compliment to the President

OUR LANGUAGE PRESS MUST
BE A COMMUNIST PRESS
For A Clear Working Glass Line

FOR example, "Rovnost Ludu" published on the
first page cuts from an orchestra which was
going to Europe, which has nothing whatever
to do with the proletarian class struggle or
the labor movement. In the February 18th
issue of "Rovnost Ludu' there was published
correspondence from member of the Social
Labor Party in which this fellow said that
he is for Soviet Russia but cannot believe
that the situation is so beautiful as in the
picture from Comrade Schmidt There was
not one word of comment from the editor con-
corning this correspondence from member
of another party. The "Rovnost Ludu" speaks
about the necessity for organization of the
unemployed councils, but does not connect this
problem with the general situation, the in
creasing unemployment and does not give an
analysis of the crisis, unemployment etc.
Overcome Resistance to Party Line.
These few examples clearly show that some
of papers maintain still resistance to
enter in the Party line, that with the simple
printing of the Party material they think they
can accomplish their Communist duty, but
they make no efforts to utilize the Party ma
terial to take the line from this material.
They live far away from this period, far away
from the increasing struggles of the workers.
They on the one hand try to satisfy the Party
in the simple printing of the Party material,
put on the other hand they aim to satisfy the
readers in following the old line of the papers
and maintain in good standing the finances
with any and every sort of advertisement.
This is not a Communist line. This con-
cilatory opportunistic method must be
stopped, because with this method they do not
satisfy the Party the readers who are work
ers, who are a part of the hardest struggles,
workers who part of the American prole-
tariat, which is developing counter offensive
against the capitalist offensive. To maintain
their finances in good standing, the Party
press should increase the number of sub
scribers, the number of collections, and not
through the printing of advertisements which
deform completely the character of the paper.
Our language press in general must make
an effort to bring the workers of the differ
ent languages closer to the Party, to develop
new forces in the editorial staff in the ranks
of the workers correspondence, and stop COL
laborating with petty intellectuals, petty bour-
geois elements whose "Marxism" is frequent
ly nothing more than their own petty
bourgeois theories under the cloak of MARKHAM
phraseology.

The Significance of the RevOlu,
tiOnary Songs
By S. POUPODOUPOLIS

| want to suggest to the comrades to correct
one of the shortcomings of our Party and in
this way help bolshevize the Party.
| saw many times at demonstrations and
meetings small group of comrades take the
initiative and start to sing, but the majority
of the demonstrators don't follow their example
and in this way degenerate the purpose of the
songs What is the matter with the member
ship of the Party, quite number of whom do
not know even the international" in English
This shows that they do not understand the
significance of the revolutionary songs and
their utilization in the struggles of the work
ing class.
Let us take an example from our enemies,
the capitalists and their institutions, the army,
the schools, ETC.
The soldiers are obliged to sing patriotic
songs. The capitalists know the significance
of the patriotic songs for it creates blind en-
thusiasm and leads the soldiers to war like
sheep.
When we sing and teach the workers to
sing, we create conscious revolutionary enthu-
siasm in the daily struggle against our enemy
The Communists must learn and teach the
workers revolutionary songs.
AT every meeting and every mass struggle
of the workers, the comrades must sing and
especially now when our Party is preparing
for the May Day demonstrations in which we
are going to meet the forces of reaction, we
must not forget the significance of the J.
lutionary songs in our battles with the police
and reactionary forces.

Not long ago the Marx Engels Institute &C.
quired in France part of the manuscripts of the
first volume of Capital" This fact is very
significant since up to the present only the
manuscripts of the second and third volumes had
been found. The newly found manuscript is the
rough draft of the chapter of capital" on
commodities and money. 1t is full of correc-
lions, additions and variations added by Marx.
This manuscript passed from Lafargue into
the hands OF the well-known syndicalst La
suardelle, who on leaving politics, began to
sell his valuable archives. He intended to sell
the manuscripts of Max in America. The Di-
rector of the Institute, Com ade Razanov,
heard of this, and pointed out to LaguardelIe
that the proper place for this document is not
the country Of apitalism-America, but the
country of Socialism-U.S.S.R. Laguardellc
agreed to hand over the manuscripts to the
Marx and Engels Institute.

"pABOTCHAYA MOSKVA" publishes an APP
peal by the workers of the Moscow ma
chine factory Dynamo which was passed at
a meeting of protest against the attacks OF the
pope and other insprers of the Crusade"
against the U. S. S. r.
In the appeal the Dynamo" workers say, in
part:
I'm answer to the appeal of the pope OF
Rome for the organization of a crusade
against the U.S.S.R., in answer to the bitter
ant-Sovet campaign, workers of the
Dynamo" factory call OH the working class
of the U.S.S.R. to answer the imperialists
by forming new shock brgades and by more
widely developing socialist contests.
"The best answer to our enemies will be
the formation of an extra fund for the in
naturalization of the country by more than
fulfilling the induces of the industrial plan,
by fulfilling the five-year plan in four years.
and by increasing the defensive power of
the country.
'We undertake:
a. To more than fulfil the industrial and
financial plan for our factory this year, to
issue II million rubles worth of production in
stead of Is millions, to lower cost of produc-
ton by Is per cent instead of II per cent, to
increase the efficiency of labor by 26 per cent.
In. order to carry out these undertakings, we
promise that by the anniversary of the social
list contest, j. e. by the First of May, there will
not be single man or woman worker in our
factory outside the shock brgades, and in this
way we shall turn our factory into real shock
factory.

The Economic Crisis in Egypt

ment, and by means of which the treasury,
which has been rendered completely empty as
"a result of the cotton export crisis, is to be
replenished. The European and native import
ers are endeavoring to lay in big stock of
goods before the new customs tariff comes in
to operation According to a report of the
Cairo Chamber of Commerce, the customs re-
venue increased one hundred per cent in the
period from May to November 20, compared
with the income in the corresponding period of
the previous year. The customs revenue in this
period amounted to 1,171,85 Egyptian pounds,
which means an increased import of goods to
the value of IA million pounds. 1t is estimated
that up to the time of the coming into opera
ton of the new customs tariff there will be an
increase in imports to the value of II to 1S
million pounds. These increased imports are
based on purely speculative grounds. CONNER
cial circles are not waiting for the coming into
operation of the new customs rates in order to
increase prices, but are already now screwing
up prices, and in first place the prices of food
Inc Nahas Pasha government is completely
mpotent in face of this development AS the
'ing's speech, read by Nahas Pasha on the oc-
aston of the opening of parliament, and it's
approval by the Wafd parliament has already
shown, it is just as much willing instru-
nent OF British imperialism as was the dictator
ship government of Mahmud Pasha Nothing
has changed since the liquidation of the die
torshlp and the taking over of the government
by the Wafd. There is still valid today that
which Lord Balfour laid down ten years ago
as the principle Of British policy in Egypt
When he declared: British rule exists in Egypt,
British rule will be maintained there, nobody
IN or outside of Egypt should deceive himself
regarding this principle of the policy of the
5rltish government" Today it appears expe-
lent to British Imperialism to grant a few
ham concessions to Egypt but economically
subject it completely to its profit interests.
o the social imperialist Macdonald is allotted
ne task of deceiving the Egyptian people re-
arding the actual situation.
The growing anti-English sentiment which
spreading to ever larger sections of the
gyptian population, the radicalism of the
lrab working class, which has already led to
'trike movements, are sure symptoms that this
British social imperialist maneuver will en-
counter the growing resistance of the toing
population of Egypt.
