the city has contracts and can provide work
for the unemployed. We think that the way
the city disposes of the public funds is scan
dalous. Public funds should be used for public
needs and our need today is-work Therefore
we demand that the City Duma Immediately
organize public work for all the needy We
demand not charity, but our rights and we will
not be satisfied with charity. The public work
which we demand must be started Immediately
AI the unemployed of st. Petersburg must be
allowed TO do this work; every unemployed
worker must receive an adequate wage. We
have been delegated to insist on the fulfiIment
of our demands. The masses who have sent us
will not be content with less. If you do not
accede to our demands we will report your
refusal to the unemployed and then you will
not have us to deal with, but those who sent
us, the masses of unemployed"
Our speakers went with groups of the unem-
ployed, stopped the workers as they left during
dinner-time or in the evening during the change
Of shifts, and held factory-gate meetings on the
questions of unemployment and the help which
should be given the unemployed The meetings
were always successful. Brief resolutions on the
necessity for helping the unemployed were made
and signatures were collected for the petition.
Drawing Sympathetic Petty Bourgeois GROUPS
Into Unemployed Struggles.
But beside raising the spirits of the masses of
the workers, which it undoubtedly succeeded in
doing the Unemployed Council had also to rouse
desire among the petty bourgeois groups to
help the unemployed.

articles and announcements in their parcrs.

Help is essential not only in the interests of
the workers, but for the sake of the health of

By V. I. LENIN

This famous dictum belongs to one
of the profoundest writer's on military
questions, Clausewitz. Rightly, the
Marxists have always considered this
axiom as the theoretical foundation
for their understanding Of the mean
ing of every war. 1t is from this
very standpoint that Marx and En-
gels regarded wars.
Apply this idea to the present war
You will find that for decades, for
almost half a century, the govern
ments and the ruling classes of Eng
land, France, Germany, Italy, Aus
tria and Russia, conducted a policy
Of colonial robbery of suppressing
labor movements, Of depressing for
eign nations. Such a policy, and no
other one, is being pursued also in
the present war Notably in Austria
and in Russia the policy Of both

"War Is Politics Continued

peace and war times consists in TIN
enslavement of nations, not in their
liberation. On the contrary, in China,
Persia, India and other dependent
nations, We note in the last decade
a policy of national awakening, tens
and hundreds of millions of people
striving to liberate themselves from
under the yoke of reactionary great"
nations. War growing out OF this
historic basis, even at the present
time, can be Of a bourgeois progress
sive nature, war for national liber-
alton.
One glance at the present war,
conceived as a continuation of the
policy of the great nations and
their fundamental GLASSES, shows
that the opinion which iustifies
defence of the fatherland7 in the
present war is false, hypocritical ano
in glaring contradiction to historic
facts.

tions Of railway labor for six months

ployers both would agree that no notice
