ism, went against the Party and its
Central Committee, and made a
bloc with TrotSky, who was moving
over to the counter-revolution. In
those days, iron will, constancy, and
most of all, deep theoretical under
standing of Leninisn, and conf
dence of being in the right, were
needed to struggle determinedly
against and finally smash these at
tacks of the enemies of Leninism;
and not only to do this, but to
mobilize the masses of the people
to fulfill the will of Lenin, TO re-
inforce the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat, and to build Socialism.
Here the greatest service of Stain
was that he was able to give prin-
cipal emphasis, as it deserved, to
the question of the possibility of
building Socialism in our country.
Stain defended this feminist theory
in the struggle against those petty
bourgeois, Menshevik opportunists
and winners who completely denied
the possibility of building Socialism
in our country, and hid their denial
with Left phrases about the world
revolution"
In every new stage OF our devel-
opment, Comrade Stain has brought
forward first class organizational
tasks. With the advent of new con-
ditions, Comrade Stain, has more
than once emphasized the new re-
quirements demanded of the lead
ership These tasks he has defined
in the following way
TO sit at the helm and keep
watch, seeing nothing until some
calamity overtakes us-this is no
kind of leadership, Bolshevism
does not interpret leadership in
thisNway. To lead means to fore
see; and to fOresee, comrades. is
not always SO simple. 1t is one
thing when dozen other leading
comrades keep watch and notice
defects in our work; but the work
ing masses do not want to keep
watch, or cannot do so; they
therefore do not notice the defects.
Then there is every chance that
one may miss something, fail to
see everything. 1t is quite another
thing when, together with dozens
of other leading comrades, there
keep watch, hundreds of th0us-
ans and millions of workers; see
ing the shortcomings in our work,
bringing to light our mistakes,
taking up the common cause of
Socialist construction, and point
ing out the way to improve the
position

tai thoughts of Lenin on this uues.
ton is very important for the I'M
derstanding of the nature of the
present intervention conspiracies of
Poincare and BRAND, as well as of
all leading imperialist powers in SO
lar as they are continuation of
the policies of Clemenceau and Foch
in the years 1918-1920.
Below we give various quotations
from Lenin, dealing with interview
ton:
1.-THE representatives of the ruling
classes stake all on intervention and
war because for them these are the
final and decisive battles and they
will mot stop before any crimes in
order to destroy the Soviet power.
Does not the history of Socialism,
ia SASSaAeSAAJ Va kOOCl1QSII,
which is SO rich in revolutionary
strivings, show us that when the
toiling masses take power into their
hands, the ruling classes commit
unheard of crimes and carry through
shootings when the mcneybags are
IN danger? c APT al in the
Soviet Union is allied with inter-
| national capital"
The Soviet Union could have
been destroyed only then when the
people who shouted so-much about
the defense of the fatherland and
about their patriotism, showed their
true capitalist nature and started to
work out conspiracies today, with
the German bayonets in order to-
gether with them, to murder the
Ukrainian Bolsheviks, tomorrow with
the Turkish bayonets in order to at
tack the Bolsheviks, after tomor-
row with the Czecho-Slovakian bay
onetS in order to abolish the Soviet
power and murder Bolsheviks. Only
foreign assistance, only with the aid
OF foreign bayonets, only by selling
Russia to Japanese bayonets, Ger
man. Turkish, only these methods
have up to now given shadow TO
success to the conspirators of the
capitalists and landlords"
I'VE have achieved victory because
we were united. Because we sue
ceeded in winning allies In the
camp OF our enemies and our enc,
mics, who are much more power
full than we are, have suffered de-
feat because amongst them, there is
no unity, there can be no unity, be-
cause every month of our struggle
with them, meant disintegration in
their own camp
1.-THE armies of the allies have
proven to be incapable of carrying
on battle against the revolution
airy Soviet Russia. We have taken
away from the Allies their soldiers.
The victory which we achieved
when we compelled them to take
away the French and English arm
les was most important victory
which we had over the Allies. we
took away their armies. We an
swered the much higher military
and technical superiority of the
Allies with the solidarity of the toll
ing masses against their own I'M
periahst governments

FEDERAL AID FOR JOnIESs A BY RODNEY BUTCHER
 (NEA Service Writerl


 washington Washington stands unanimously agreed that there shall be no widespread suffering this winter during the current un- employment.
 The government faces n situation wherein six million persons are unemployed and many millions more of their dependents are in equally unfortunate straits. Many Q. them have long since cxhauSted their savings and must rely upon charity.
 Both President Hoover and con gresg recognize national responsi- bilIty.
 The White House has led in ex- pressing the determination that there shall be no starvation, through President Hoover's organi- zatlon for unemployment relief. This organization, under the chairmanship of Walter $. Clifford, has undertaken n vast program of national stimulation for local relief efforts---fhe most ambitious project of itg kind ever undertaken.
 Federal Relief Proposed
 But despite MT Hoover's reliance upon this method, there will be agitation in the Seventy-sccond congress for direct federal relief. Members of congress are divided into three groups:
 i. Those already convinced that existing efforts and facilities, in- c.uding the Hoover Clifford drive, are ample to meet the emergency.
 2. Those who profess to be open minded. who profess 10 be willing 10 vote for federal aid if they become convinced that pri- vAte charity and local or state cf- forts are not sufficient for tho need.
 [. Those who insist that local contributions cannot meet the problem and that some federal hp- propriation is casential.
 The second group is tho largest and its ultimate attitude probably will be apparently shortly after the holidays. Ultra a-conservatives comprise the first group and the third group is largely made up of the progressiveB. But the middle ground, open-minded group Is

World Peace Machinery Undergoes Test
La Dealing With Situation in Manchuria

Such, then, are the Leagues "three
fundamental principles" According to
the present procedure, first, both
parties must withdraw their troops
within their own territory by a fixed
date; second, this withdrawal must be
under some form of neutral surveil-
lance, and, third, there shall be no
direct negotiations under military
pressure.
Two great issues remain and doni-
nate the present moment. The first
is, to what extent does the United
States indorse the Leagues three
principles?
1t is feared, for example, probably on
the basis of inadequate information,
that the United States does not indorSe
them all, but feels that no date should
be fixed, and no neutral observers pro-
vided, and sees no objection to irnme-
date direct negotiations. AS long as
this real or imaginary abyss looms be-
tween the Councils viewpoint and the
viewpoint OF Washington, there appears
to be little hope of an immediate set
tlement in Manchuria.
The second issue, Supposing that the
United States and the Council agree to
a common program and that one of the
dtsputants, In defiance of its interna-
tional engagements, still refuses to fol-
low the recommendations of the Coun-
eli and the United States, what is to
be done about 1t?
This is the whole problem of sane
tions, one of the most disagreeable and
troublesome problems of modern di-
plomacy which every nation in the
crisis would like to avoid, but which, If
the crisis continues, will inevitably OBJ
trude itself and in time take precedence
over all others.

Practice of Debasing Coins Ancient,
Being Traced to us A. D. Currency

PARIS. France.-"A History OF Eng
lish Money" by A. E. Feavearyear, just
out describes the vagaries OF English
money during the last few thousand
years. The book throws an interesting
light on how people pay for their wars,
or have it done for them. Even the
Caesars resorted to debasing coins.
King Offa of Mercia had pound to
90 off as far back as IT'S AID, when
he was able to crowd 240 of his pennies
in a pint tin and called 1t a silver
pound. But his people gypped him, too,
for they soon caught on to the method
of following coins and clipping on
pieces now and then to exc out the
family budget.
Alloy Used With Silver.
Then the King would go his people
one better and mix some cheap alloy
with the silver. Counterfeiters and
clippers were punished by being placed
on the rack, or being put through the
usual ceremony of the times, but this
did not seem to deter them. Things
have not changed very much today, and
most governments are living by legalized
counterfeiting or by issuing bank notes
which melt in the rain. Silver coins
of today ought to be in the money joke
column.
But old King Offas pound of silver
pennies was 1000 years older than the
pound sterling gold standard, It was
not until 1916 that the gold standard
was instituted. At this time gold SOW
ereigns were issued at pre-war parity.
simultaneously q free market In gold,
as the official single standard. was
for the. first time.

wanted to make a stand against Japan
in the Manchurian dispute. The dip
lomatic impetus given the League Coun-
Gil came largely from the United States.
An attempt was made by certain pow
ers to evade responsibilities on the
grounds that the Manchurian case was
exceptional and special. To this the
other powers replied that all cases, past,
present and future, will be found spe-
cial and exceptional.
When the Council first took the Man
churian dispute it was Immediately con-
fronted with a precedent set by the
Greco Bulgar dispute, wherein two prin-
ciples had been established: First, each
disputant must withdraw It's troops i'm
mediately and by flxed date within its
own frontiers, and, second, this with
drawal must be duly attested TO by
neutral observers.
In its resolution of September 80
the United States, avoided fixing the
date Of withdrawal and made only an
indirect provision for neutral observa-
ton. In its resolution of october "a,
however, the moral pressure was such
that the Council was obliged to return
to the Greco-Bulgar precedent, fx the
date and provide for neutral observers.
In addition, the October Council de-
bates, confronted by the Japanese de-
mand for immediate negotiations on
the basic issues and China's refusal
Of this demand, developed a new
principle which bids fair to remain a
part of all future League procedure
namely, there can be no direct nego-
tiations between diSputants while one
of them is under pressure OF unlimited
military occupation.
