Funeral services for Samuel A. Weinstein yesterday at the home on Spencer avenue, on the steps of Beth-Israel synagogue and at Brass City lodge cemetery, were att tended by many prominent mem- bers of the community, headed by Mayor Frank Hayes. Special re- spect was paid by Rabbi Moses Sheinkopf, who preached an eu- logy from the synagogue steps, an unusual tribute among those of Jewish descent.
 Honorary bearers represented many of the city's fraternal, civic and Jewish organizations. We'll known citizens in attendance were Judge John F. McGrath, x-Mayor William E. Thoms, J. William Gardner Louis Liebeskind, Herman Weisman, William Traurig and Isador Prillig.

 A portion of Rabbi Sheinkopf's $ eulogy follows:
 we are aSSeInDIeu HtTS lO-udy to pay our last tribute of esteem and recognition to representative Jew, a leader in a community; to loyal husband and father in Is- rael. His death has left an un- bridgable chasm in his family and has robbed our community of an influential leader, a man of moral strength, and of creative energy.
 "As we stand now gathered around the coffin of our departed friend, Samuel A. Weinstein, we are conscious that his life was crowded with humanitarian effort with thoughts of devotion, with acts of sympathy, and with deeds of constructive endeavor.

he recognized that this attempt was
of the most vital historic Importance
On the basis of the revolutionary eX-
perienceS OF the Commune, Marx de-
veloped his tactical teachings, per-
fected his theory of the emancipa-
ton Of the workers, developing the
theory of proletarian democracy con-
tanned in the Communist Manifesto
On this basis, in the last preface
to the new German edition of the
Manifesto in 1872, Marx and Engels
declare that the Manifesto was
"aging in some points, that the Com
mune showed how the proletarian
class cannot simply take possession
of the existing State machine and
put it into motion for its own pur-
poses In 1847, on the question of
how the destroyed State mechanism
should have been substituted, Marx
answered: with the organization of
the proletariat as the ruling class,
with the conquest of democracy"
In 1947 he had not yet said con-
cretely how the proletariat should
organize itself into the ruling class.
On the basis of a deep analysis OF
the experiences of the Commune, in
his penetrating brochure, "The Civil
War in France" he answered this
question most definitiyely.
Accomplishments
What did the Commune do? For
the destroyed State mechanism, it
substituted in appearance only, "a
wider ocracy''-eligibility to cleo
ton and recall OF all public offices.
They replaced. the bourgeois demo-
cratic machine by an institution
based on a principle essentially diff
ferent. There was no more liberty
of the minority for the repression Of
the exploited class, but liberty of the
majority from capitalist exploitation,
for the suppression of the defeated
bourgeois minority; liberty for the
transformation of capitalist society
into 6, classless society. No more
parlia fcntarism, but the Commune
which grew out OF the Civic Coun-
Gil elected by the toiling masses in
the various districts of Paris, respon-
sible and subject to recall, composed
Of a majority of workers-no more
festivals, but an active body with
legislative and executive power at
the same time.
In the Commune we find the EN-
bryo, the organization of industry by
the workers, which utilized what cap
italism created; the draft of ma
tional organization insofar as the
Commune Should have elected also
the national delegation" which should
have centralized the power of the
Covic Communes of all France.
First Form of Proletarian Revolution
For Marx it was clear already, be-
The daily worker., 1933-03-22

fore the Commune, that the State
must disappear and that the "prole-
tariat organized into the ruling class"
should have taken over power, in the
period of transition leading toward
the disappearance of the State. The
Commune was the first form of the
proletarian revolution, the only one
able to lead to the economic and
political emancipation of the work
ing class.
In his "Critique of the Gotha Pro-
gram" Marx said clearly, Between
the capitalist and Communist sys-
TENS of society lies the period OF the
revolutionary transformation Of the
one into the other. This core
spends to a political transition period
whose State can be nothing less than
the revolutionary dictatorship OF the
proletariat."
On the basis OF the Commune ex-
perienceS, Lenin not only brought
back in its completion the Marxism
that was distorted by the revision
lists. but he continued the work Of
Marx. developing the theory OF the
dictatorship of the proletariat In the
epoch of imperialism. Enriched by
the experiences of the 1905 revolu-
ton, the Russian proletariat, led by
Lenin, could overthrow Russian cap
italism in 1917, building more per-
feet Commune, the Union of the
Soyiets, the Union of the Communes
that made 'one-sixth of the world
into the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics.
Heroissn Not In Vain.
Tie heroism of The Communards
was not expended in vain. They
gave the first example OF how to
overthrow capitalism. This Is the
reason that the revolutionary prole-
tariat all over the world remembers
the Commune, the heroic struggle Of
it's combatants and commentaries
its martyrs.
On the 62nd anniversary OF the
first Commune, more than ever be-
fore, when we are faced with "a new
round of big clashes between classes
and between States, Of new round
OF wars and revolutions, the Com
munists, the class conscious workers,
must study the teachings of the Paris
Commune, the teachings of all the
Communes.
The red flag of the Commune Is
waving VIGOROUSLY over one-sixth Of
the world, where the dreams Of the
Communards are realized. 1t waves
in the battles of the Chinese Com
mune. The day Is not far away
when in all countries it will be raised
by the phalanxes of the proletariat
and 1t will wave high and victorious
over the Communes of the world.

Travelling on the same boat with

Japanese spokesman at Geneva, is on
his way to the United States to seek
American approval of the rape of
Manchuria and Jehol. He will arrive
tomorrow.
Matsuoka claims to know Ameri-
can psychology means he
knows what to say to President
Roosevelt and Americas 50 masters.
He was educated in American uni
versities and lived here many !. sears.
Therefore he expects less difficulty
in assuring Americas "5e" of the eco
nomic advantages of recognizing
Manchukuo than he had in facing
the League Of Nations recently.
After addressing the Japanese
Chamber of Commerce here, he will
visit Boston and Philadelphia, con-
fer with Hull and Roosevelt in Wash
ington, journey to Chicago and sail
from San Francisco for Toxic in mid
April.
His avowed purpose is to propa-
gandize for recognition of Japan's
puppet-state of Manchukuo. What
will happen behind the scenes of his
diplomatic sightseeing tour = how
many financial magnates he will
"propagandize"-will be kept secret
from the workers.
What appeals will he make to

In a remarkably frank interview
on leaving Geneva, Matsuoka gave
indications of what he will say.

The New York Times admits, in a
dispatch from Berlin, that the gov
ernments immediate aim seems to
be to drive up internal prices. 1t is
compelled to reduce the effective
wage level at the behest of the heavy
industries, which financed Hitler's
campaign. Since direct wage cuts
are impossible, that aim is held to
be obtainable only through a rise in
prices"
The Times correspondent fails to
state that actual wage cuts have al
ready been decreed by the Hitler
Government. The wage agreement
for the whole Ruhr coal industry has
been terminated, with the announced
purpose OF reducing wages. The
Transport Ministry has given notice
Of the end Of the wage scale for all
inland water transport workers, in
order to reduce wages seven pfen-

The Prussian Commissar Won
Papen has abrogated the wage agree

The new Reichsbank president is

that is, the herding of the unem-

plan is almost word for word the
same as Franklin D. Roosevelt's New

COMMONS HOWLS
DOWN QUESTIONS
R e fuse to Consider
Guilt of Engineers

LONDON, March 21.-The Conser-
yative majority of the House of Com
mons refused absolutely to hear
questions asked the cabinet under
secretary reporting breach of trade
negotiations with Soviet Russia The
questions proposed brought out glar-
ingly that the Macdonald govern
ment was rushing to the defense of
the British engineers arrested In
Moscow, without any consideration as
TO whether they were guilty Of wreck
ing Soviet machinery or not.
The 9sestaons.
George Lansbury, Labor Party,
asked how Capt. Eden, reporting for
the Cabinet, could call the charges
against the British engineers unjusti-
fable when he stated in the same
breath that he had been unable to
learn what the charges we're.
Capt. Eden made a point of the
fact that the Soviet Government had
refused to allow British lawyers to
defend the accused. He asked:
would Russians arrested in Brit
ain be allowed to have Russian law
yers In British court?"
Eden refused to answer either Of
these questions, combining himself to
the statement that Great Britain had
broken off trade negotiations.
.
American workers will remember
the celebrated Schachty trial Of
sabotaging Russian engineers in Mos
COW, who were proved to have had
French support in their efforts to
wreck Soviet industrialization.
The British Cabinets silence In the
face OF the telling questions asked in
Commons proves beyond a doubt
that the arrest of the British engi-
neers in Moscow is merely the pre-
text seiDed by Great Britain to forge
another Link In the anti-Soyiet front
now being welded in capitalist Eu-
rope. Sir John Simon's cynical sup
port Of Japan in the League of Ma
tions, MacDonald's trip to Rome, and
the breaking off Of trade negotiations
with the Soviet Union are all part Of
the preparations for war feverishly
going on throughout Europe.

money for this equipment came from

before last December, just after the
original Bolivian push, the forces of
Bolivia were steadily retreating. Dur
