From "Wnl the Bolsheviks Retain
State Power?")

From own the Bolsheviks Retain
State Poverty
THE capitalist state evictS a work
l er's family which has lost its
breadWinner and does not pay rent.
There comes upon the scene a bail
if, policeman, or militiaman, with a
whole platoon of men. In a work
ing class district whole detachment
of Cossacls is necessary for the evic-
ton. Why? Because the bailiff and
policeman refuse to go without mil
itary protection of considerable
strength. They know that the sight
Of an eviction brings forth such mad
fury among the neighboring popu-
lation, among thousands and thou
sands driven well-nigh to despair,
such hatred against the capitalists
and the capitalist state that the
bailiff and the squad of police might
at any moment be torn to pieces.
Large military forces are necessary;
several regiments of soldiers must be
brought into the town from prov
ince, necessarily distant, so that the
soldiers may know nothing of the
life of the town poor, so that the
soldiers may not be infected" with
socialism.
A Workers Militia
The proletarian state has forcibly
to move a very needy family into the
dwelling of a rich man. Our detach-
ment Of workers militia consists, let
us say of fifteen people-two SOL
diers, two sailors, two class-conscious
workers (of which only one needs to
be a member of our party or SYM
pathizing with it, one intellectual,
and eight poor laborers, of whom
there would be at least five women,
servants, unskilled workmen and so
on. The detachment comes to the
rich mans house, investigates, and
finds five rooms for two men and
two women.
For this winter, citizens, you must
confine yourselves to two rooms and
prepare two rooms for two families
that are now living in cellars. For
a time, until with the help Of en-
S4lACC1b NgOu o4N Gil NA1S1IlICl5 i
think?) we built good houses for ALL
you will have to put yourselves out
bit. Your telephone will serve ten
families. This will save about hun
dred hours work in running to the
stores, and so on. Then in your
family there are two unoccupied
semi workers capable of doing light
Work-a woman of fifty-five and a
boy of fourteen. They will be on
duty for three hours daily, superin-
tending the distribution of products
for the ten families and they will
keep the necessary accounts. The
student III our detachment will write
out two copies of the text of this
state order and you will kindly give
us a signed declaration of your I'M
dertaking to carry out the duties ac-
curately." .asr.
Thus, in my view, could be demon
strated in very clear examples the
difference between the old bourgeois
and the new socialist state apparatus
and state administration.

Since Mrs. Winner and her husband

England Supporting
French Arms Stand

London, Sept. 19.-(E)-The govern
ment of Great Britain Monday took
position very near that of France in
opposition to Germany's method of
demanding equality in ornaments.
In an official memorandum issued
from the foreign office Sunday the
government insisted the German
problem must be solved by negotia-
ton and declared Germany's threat
to quit the disarmament conference
was unfortunate" at time when at
tention and energy should be directed
to economic rehabilitation Of the
world.
Reports from Paris said French
newspapers greeted it as pleasant
surprise" revealing French and Brit
ish views were not far apart.
CThe note created a favorable i'm
preston in official circles at Wash
ingtonD
The British government, the note
said, could not support the view that
under a correct legal construction Of
the treaty of Versailles Germany is
legally entitled to sbrogate part S
(Which limited German armament)
even though the other nations should
fail to agree to disarm or to reduce
their armament.
