But as matter of fact, nothing
happened to Miss Clyman. The
camp commander made reference
to some of her fellow countrymen
who in the years 1890 invaded
this district and tells her that he
himself fought against them, that
he took part in the civil war.
What does our traveller then do?
She attempts to get past the sentry
by showing him papers which have
no validity (she admits this her
self in order to gain admission to
places which can only be entered
with special pass, (And again we
would like to ask Miss Clyman in
passing what, the Birth authori-
ties, for instance, would say to
such actions on the part of for
eign correspondents-s rep
representative of the Soviet press?)
Miss Clyman finally arranged
something in the nature of public
political demonstration in memory
of the British intervention troops
She went to church during di-
vine service and, to "the astoniSh-
ment of all present" handed over
to the priest ten roubles with the
words: 81 give you this money in
the name of my fellow-countrymen
who are buried here in North Rus
STA. Please include them in your
prayers"
The priest, greatly touched, in
vited Miss Clyrnan to a cup of tea
which was gratefully accepted.
ONE could quote numerous other
v examples to show how Miss
Clyman has endeavored without
success to carry out the orders Of
Lord Beaverbrook how she, who
wanted TO make exposures has only
succeeded in exposing the provoca-
tive purpose of her journey. Lack
ing actual material she INDUCES in
an unbounded Indictment against
the Soviet Union, in the course of
which she allows herself to make
such statements as the following:

us to suffice for the following con-
clusion; The visits of representa-

ion, good sign showing that the

workers, MIR. Hazlitt hailed it as
"the most hopeful event since the
beginning of the depression" Yes
Mr.. Hazlitt certainly is the right
man to head the list Of inteiiec-
tuals supporting the Socialist
Party!
THE other twenty names the So
1 cialists scraped together are
rather a mixed crew. There is
Stuart Chase, the unofficial advisor
to the capitalist class on how to
"plan' the planless profit system.
There are the regular Socialist
Party hacks like Haywood Broun;
there are the Broadway playboys,
like Gilbert Gabriel George Kauf-
man, Morrie Ryskind, whom Broun
corralled, no doubt, one night at
the Thanatopsis Poker Club. whose
activities Broun describes regularly
in the world Telegram. Then
there are the literary men, literary
in the old romantic sense of the
word, which is to say they live in
another world or one long ago
slowed away in lavender.
Consider, for instance, Van
Wyck Brooks. He has lived the past
twenty years in the circle of En-
merson and Thoreau-g generations
ago. The word Socialist could
only have evoked in him pleasant
memories OF the amusing and
earnest group who made the Brooks
Farm experiment back in the
eighteen fifties. Or-to do him
justics-the word socialist must
have reminded him of tall, lean
Eugene Debs, the Debs Of the pre-
war years, before they broke his
body behind the bars. Someone
should intrude on Mr.. Brooks re-
tired study and tell him that Eu-
gene Debs, who warned his follow
ers that when he received praise
from capitalists it would be be-
cause he was a traitor to the work.

Miss Clyman sheds big crocodile
tears over the lot of the poor vic
tins of the Soviet Government"
She constantly seeks to harrow the
feelings of the readers of her paper
with descriptions of the terrible
Checklists" who later however, &C
cording to her own description,
prove to be thoroughly obliging,
cultivated people. Also the guard
in front of the commanders office
supplied Miss Clylnan with material
for making her readers flesh creep.
Here her fantastic imagination
causes her to write: "I knew that
the sentry would shoot me down if
I ventured to enter the building
without pass" eve would like in
passing, to ask Miss Clyman what
would sentries in other countries
have done in such a case?)
In almost every line Miss Clyman
makes use of the expression living
dead" She boastfully calls atten-
ton to her courage" her bold
behavior. The emissary of Lord
Beaverbrook is compelled to make
the following admission: There is
nothing in the outward appearance
of KEN to associate it with the
horrors of prison and exile" Miss
Clyman relates what the obliging
commander of the camp told her.
"We have diaries, orchards, and
gardens which could very well COM
pete with those in England. We
have never made use of force"
HERE our good Miss Clyman has
ii evidently noticed that she has
not described KEN in the way Lord
Beaverbrook desired. Quite with
out reason she suddenly changes
her tone and attributes to the camp
commander a statement which he,
of course never made: "And If they
do not work, declared the camp
commander, we shoot them.

Judging from Miss Clymari's ar
ticles it would seem that she had
actually been in KEN. She openly
states for what purpose she went
to the North of the Soviet Union.
She wanted, just think, after visit
ing the concentrating camps, to ex-
pose the "horrows of the Cheka".
she wanted to write about what
she had seen of forced labor" In
the first article of the series, en-
titled: Town of the Living Dead,
Miss Clyman declared that the
name of this little town though
never mentioned aloud, is now
scared on the souls of millions of
Russians. Mothers use it to frighten-
naughty children, grown men
tremble when they hear it p-.'o-
nounced in court"
MISS CLYMAN wanted to give
III highly colored description of
KEN employing plenty of effective
words and phrases, but she over
reached, herself. She states that
KEN is a place for all undesirable
and that in the whole of the Soviet
Union there is not a single family
which has not contributed VIC
tim to "the town of the living
dead"
Miss Clyman however, has had
really bad luck. There was nothing
TO expose. Miss Clyman has only
exposed herself. In the article, en-
titled 1.-THE town Of the living dead"
Miss Clyman, against her will des-
cribes the living peaceful and crea-
tive work for educating people who
are not punished for the crimes
they have committed as bourgeois
justice punished criminals in its
efforts to be rid of them, but by
means of definite regime of work
converts these people into new
useful members of society.
Secondly, in spite of her provo
cative attitude, in spite of her in
tense desire to bring about COLI
sions, nothing happened to Miss
Clyman. To her great regret, we
assume, the authorities displayed
the greatest patience towards her.
Miss Clyman, who set out to make
discoveries, according to her own
account, did not spend the days
she was at KEN in the dungeons of
which she had dreamed, but in a
clean, spacious room Of one OF the

Campaign or
Daily Task?

by j. 4.
THE Election Campaign of the
Party began with the mobiliza-
ton of the Party and the members
of sympathetic mass organizations
to collect signatures to place the
Party on the ballot. During the last
three months we convinced 265, 900
toilers to sign our lists. In the
course of this collection we visited
and talked to at least twice as
many workers Comrades Foster
and Ford spoke to hundreds of
thousands of workers in their cleo
ton campaign meetings. Here
again we reached with our
agitational material 0eaflets, stick
erS, posters, pamphlets, etc. at
least five times as many workers
as came to these meetings. In the
past two months in the Southern
Illinois mine strike, the miners
fought militantly against a wage
reduction, against the policies of
the leaders of the Progressive"
union, against the state forces.
Thousands of workers were involv-
ed in strikes of the textile, steel,
metal needle and shoe industries.
Tens of thousands of unemployed
participated in the struggles for
immediate relief, in hunger march
es and demonstrations. The fight
of the veterans for the bonus set
wide strata of the population in
motion.

cially in countries with a strong
revolutionary upsurge-in regime
OF unrestricted terror, in bloody
repressive measures against the
workers, In the open fascist dicta-
torship.
The general crisis of capitalism
becomes daily acuter, and has en-
tered a new stage. The stabiliza-
ton Of capitalism is over. We are
in the transition to a new epoch
of wars and revolutions, accelerated
by the military policy of Japanese
and French imperialism. Capitalize
has reached a catastrophe stage, y
phase of violent class struggles, Of
attempts to redivide the world by
means of war.
out of the partial sterilization
of capitalism there grows a still
acuter crisis, the growing crisis
destroys the sterilization these are
the dialetctics of the development
of capitalism in the present histori-
cal moment" (Stalin).
This Bolshevist prognosis has
been completely confirmed in the
course of development of the pres
ent crisis.
The transition pointed out by
Comrade Stain at the 10th Party
Congress of the C. P. S. u, the
transition leading to decay in the
capitalist countries and to nightly
economic upsurge in the Soviet
Union, has now reached new and
higher stage shown in the leading
capitalist countries in the increas-
ing weakness of the bourgeoisie on
the one hand and in the increasing
strengthening of the revolutionary
proletariat on the other.
But there is as yet no revolu-
tionary crisis in any of the deci-
Sively important imperialist coun-
tries In China alone the Soviet
revolution has been victorious over
a wide territory; in Spain alone ia
there a struggle to convert the
bourgeois democratic revolution
into a socialist revolution.
The capitalist countries which are
advanced in the sense of revolu-
tionary development Germany,
Poland), are just beginning to APP
proach directly to the revolutionary
crisis. The capitalist attacks on
the standards of living Of the work
ers continue. The proletariat is
still on the defensive. But 1t is
beginning more and more to go
forward to the counter attack on
the lives of the revolutionary move
ment of the most advanced coun-
tries.
The peculiarities of the tactics of
the international revolutionary
movement at the present stage result
from this situation.
The material productive forces
of capitalist society have come into
decided contradiction to the exist
ing conditions of production; that
is to say, contradiction to the con-
ditions of ownership under which
they have developed. The present
poverty and want, the starvation
and unemployment, appear to be
unsurmountable; the standards of
living of the masses, already low
cred, will sink further. There is
no progress possible, there can
never again be a capitalist era of
prosperity. The sole radical way
out for the toilers is socialism. Re-
alizing all this, the international
Communist movement mobilizes the
masses, and prepares them for the
decisive struggle against imperial
ist war and against fascism, for
the dictatorship of the proletariat
which realizes socialism in actual
practice.

EDITOR.
DURING the past year history has
" confirmed very consciously the
correctness of the Bolshevist an
alysis of the international situation.
COMMUNIST ANALYSIS
CONFIRMED
The economic crisis in the cap
italist countries has become acuter,
it has aggravated all the inconsis-
tencies, inherent in the capitalist
system, it has weakened this sys-
tenL and exposed its rotteness
more plainly than ever in the eyes
of hundreds of millions of human
beings. At the same time the
economic crisis, and the frightful
increase of want and misery among
the masses, have awakened to poll
tical activity broad strata of the
oppressed and exploited toilers, and
taught millions of proletarians the
necessity and inevitability of the
struggle in defence of their elemen-
tary interests. During the time of
the crisis the proletariat has passed
through a stage of development
which under ordinary normal"
conditions would have required at
least few decades.
The petty bourgeois illusions and
dreams of pacifiSm are being torn
out by the roots, for the war in the
Far East has begun, and the ag-
gravation of all the international
contradictions of capitalism has
shaken the whole system of treaties
upon which the equilibrium and the
relative sterilization of capitalism,
which set in 1923, were based.
The petty bourgeois illusions on
state, capitalism, and democracy
are being dispelled for the masses
recognize that in actuality the state
consists above all of the troops of
armed men, with the prisons as
material addition Gas Engels says.
If we separate ourselves from
realities and sail into the cloud of
dreams, then of course
capitalism can give dozens of mil
lions for the poor and the workers
:. the fact is that no pressure
can force the state to such things,
it needs the pressure of a real
revolution" Genin).
The fact that the Soviet Union is
finally consolidated on the way to
socialism, fact which cannot be
concealed by any amount of lies
from the bourgeois and social DEM
ocratic press, shows the masses of
the toilers in the capitalist coun-
tries that the sole way of escape
from poverty, want, and unemploy-
ment, the sole salvation from fresh
wars, is the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat, the way of Socialism.
Under these circumstances the
hourgeoisie is in great hurry.
