John Reed>>> Revolutionary
Symbol

Revolution could utilize him in, Reed
was willing to serve. His indoninable
burning spirit impressed itself indel-
IDLY upon the minds Of all who had
contact with him which today has
reached legendary proportions.
In America, Reed is mainly remem-
bered not only because of him great
services he rendered the Russian Rev
olution and for his first articles in
the "Liberator" dater they we're pub
lished as "Ten Days That Shook the
World'') explaining the technique of
Bolshevism but also because he was
one Of the first organizers Of the
Communist movement in America.
AS in Russia he travelled up and
down the land, going to the most
forbidden places, speaking, organizing,
editing the first Bolshevik papers and
indicted more often in the last three
years of his life than any other rev.
olutionist in the United States.
But John Reed was not always like
this. When he left Harvard he i'm
.n'edistelv entered tine ranks of Amer
lean Bohemia. Stories of his early
life arc still much in circulation, and
this is the part of his life which the
Saturday Evening Post" and the rest
of capitalist America likes to play up.
John Reed the playboy. But that is
the Reed fitting in to the life of 80
America.
But his play day days were soon
over, In. spite Of the great place he
occupied in American life. He was
the foremost journalist OF his period
Ee helped organize the "Provincetown
Theatre Wrote plays and published
books of poetry and on the war. Was
one Of the editors of the old Mass
eS." But soon. very coon he came
TO recognize that If his usefulness to
the revolutionary movement is not TO
be Of the play boy sort he must cease
this double life OF artist" and anna
teur revolutionist. With him it was
not probably so much of a thinking
through the problem" process as an
emotional revolt against an ivory
tower approach to the revolutionary
movement Slowly, through actual
contact with reality in the working

The arrival of Dr. Melihion Pely,
economist Of the Deutsch Bank, in
New York is an indication of the
serious development of the financial
crisis in Germany. Pely has brought
with him confidential report which
will be submitted to leading bankers
and government officials. These p9n
sons include Andrew w. Mellon, SiecI
rotary Of the Treasury; Eugene Nv
MeyeC governor of the Federal Re
serve System, and Adolpl C. Miller,
Reserve board member for New York.
Pely, in stating the reasons for his
trim openly admitted the growing
crisis in Germany finances. He said,
81 will propose to the kmericsn
officials ways and means of saving
Germany from panic and of main
tanning my nation as a going con-
cerr"
The panic that Pely fears and of
which he is going to warn the United
States bankers is the panic of in
flation which will mean a repetition
of the initiation of 1923. The Ger
man bankers realize that while the
initiation of 1925 nearly shattered the
entire capitalist system in Germany
a similar initiation at this time would
have far more c2tas trophic results
it would bring German capitalism
to the brink of destruction.
The initiation has already started
and DR.. Pely is here not because of
the abstract possibility of the COL
lapse OF the German finances but
because the German bankers already
have taken the first step in that
direction.
While the reserves of the Reichs-
bank declined rapidly last week,
boarding and initiation caused an in
crease OF 100000 in the amount OF
about four million marks in the cur
rency circulation.
For the first time since the in
flation period of 1928 the gold cover
age behind the Reichsbank notes has
gone below so percent. On last Thurs
day the gold coverage sank to 296
percent.
The Journal of Commerce sums up
the situation in the German finances
as follows

serve ratio has also been sccentu-
ated by internal demands for cash

attention is concentrated on the gold

Ponds" The German capitalists are
worrying more about the basic ques-
ton of being able to stay on the gold
standards rather than on the ques-
ton of the frozen" asetS of the
Reichsbank. They are worrying
about the collapse of the entire
financial structure.
The weakening of the financial
structure in Germany is part of the
general growing instability of the
financial structure throughout the
capitalist world The bankers are
trying TO stave off this crumbling of
the weakened financial structure
through policy of initiation.
The suspension of the gold stand
ard by Great Britain resulted in
increased British imports into Ger
many and the inability of the Ger
man manufacturers to compete in
the home markets. The German

capitalists have answered with the
same program as the British manu-
factwers-lower wages. The British
capitalists have cut wages directly
and indirectly through initiation. The
German capitalists have taken the
first step with terrific wage slashes
and are entering on the second
phase.
In 1923 the initiation program which
meant hunger for the German work
ers, raised their militancy to a re-
evolutionary pitch. The capitalist
class in Germany realizes that the
initiation at this time will determine
yet greater millions for a revolution
airy struggle under the leadership of
the Communist Party of Germany
In order to crush this rising mass
revolt the capitalist class of Germany
has through its Bruening govern
,ment has issued emergency decree
after decree. Initiation, the despera-
ton step of the German capitalist
class on the financial field, is to be
driven through by the armed forces
of the Reichwehr and the fascist
hordes. On the brink of the abyss
the German capitalist class resorts to
the same policy which nearly wreck
ed its system in the last inflationary
period. The initiation at the present
time take place not in the economic
situation of 1923 but in the worst
crisis in the history of the capitalist
class. The initiation at this time is
desperation and the revolutionary
working-class in Germany will ans
wer it with the power of its million
fold proletarian determination to
struggle.

cades with the workers. Poetry mag
azines? Well, I think I would rather
be in the workers press
John Reed was a pioneer in many
fields but we also remember him to-
day because he was an intellectual
with courage who pointed the way
for the cultural worker in the revo-
lutionary movement.
And he lies buried in the Kremlin
a revolutionary hero to millions of
workers who recognize him as COM
rade and fellow fighter.
The period which John Reed in
itiated in American life is Towering
today. A workers cultural movement
is beginning to accept the RESPONSE
bility and discipline which is earning
1t place in the working class move
ment Of America. But there are still,
here and there, fringes Of Bohemia
attaching itself to so-called radical
ideas" Sometimes it is even pay
ing proposition. The young writer
sets himself up as leader in revo-
lutionary literature. He is looked up
to in the bourgeois world as a revo-
lutionary writer Soon the young
man publishes book or two and buys
a place In the country. The working
class movement never sees him again
The working class press is not good
enough for him now. 1t is the ma
tion," henceforth and trips to the
great intellectual centers of the old
world for lectures on "Proletarian
Literature in the United States"
But we spit on your Illusions"
say the workers, today you are
either with us or against u.s."
The great cultural working class
movement now spreading in the
United States remembers John Reed.
To them he has become a symbol
He was a pioneer. And they remem-
Der the story Reed told of an Amer
lean intellectual who was trying to
argue with Red soldier The intel
lectual was subtle and philosophical
and disputatious. But" said the Red
soldier, there are two classes, broth
", the working class and the capt.
talist class" The intellectual ham
mered away and for another half an
hour he delivered long arguments out
Of Smith and Spencer and Veblen.
The, Red soldier listened patiently
and politely to his American visitor
and replied, but there are two class
es, brother, the working class and

We are not concerned here with
literary style. What we are about
to discuss is the style of work, that
which is peculiar and Characters
tic in the practice of Leninism, that
which brings to the fore special
type of feminist worker. Leninism is
g, school where the study of the
theory and practice of Leninism
produce special type Of Party and
State official, special kind of style
in public work. What are the char
acteristics OF this style? What are its
psculiarities?
There were two: (a) revolutionary
zeal, inspired by the Russian spirit;
and (b) businesslike practically, in
spired by the American spirit. The
combination Of these two in Party
and State work constitute what we
call style" in our activities.

Fifty years OF life, 26 of them spent
in the revolutionary fight in Fin
land and 10 in the ranks of interna-
tonal BolSheviSm. From leader OF
the small Finnish party to one OF
the most prominent members of the
staff Of the world revolution (since
the 53rd Congress of the Comintern
member of the Executive Commit
tee of the Comintern, one of the
Secretaries Of the E.C.CI, and mem
Der Of the Presidium OF the E,C.CID.
That, In brief, ic the career of Com
rade Kuusinen.
In the year 1905 Comrade Kuusinsn
received the title Of doctor Of phil
osophy, but he did not allow himself
to be lured by the prospects CT an
academic career; he did not remain
standing on the heights of abstract
academic science, but plunged into
the waves OF the revolution of 1905,
took part in the general strike and
served in the Red Guard in Finland.
Comrade Kuusinen, who right from
the beginning occupied prominent
place in the Finnish social and dem
ocratic party, was editor Of the theo-
retical organ OF the party, 1.-THE So
cialist Journal" and of the central
organ, "Tjuamies," was always on the
extreme left wing OF the social demo-
cratic party, fought against oppor-
tunism, miniSteriahSm, etc.
The Left" wing of the Finnish So
cial democratic party did not go be-
yond the standpoint of Karl Kautsky.
This was the reason for the impo-
tence of the Party in the war and in
the February revolution, and also for
the defeat of the Finnish Revolution
IN the year 1918, which at bottom
repeated the mistakes of the Paris
Commune. Comrade Kuusinen, who
as member of the revolutionary gov
eminent participat 4 in the leader
ship of this revolution, was the first,
after the defeat, to subject this revo-
luton to criticism from the BolShe-
visit point of view, and thereby laid
the theological foundation for the
new Communist Party in Finland.
But he was not merely one Of the
founders of the Finnish Communist
Party, he was also present at the
birth of the Communist Interna-
tional. At the first Congress OF the
