| how much he brought into the mat
ter of improving the work and con-
struction of the sections Of the Com
munist international.
AS one of the leaders of the Com
munist International, Comrade Gus
sew was possessed of that modesty
and absence of any striving towards
outward effect which distinguishes
the best representatives of the old
feminist Guard.
The death of Comrade GuSsev is
a great loss for the C.P.S.U. and the
Comintern, for the international pro-
letariat as a whole In spite of his
sickness, Comrade Gussev was at his
revolutionary post until the very last
days. Communists and the revolu-
tionary workers can learn a great
deal from Comrade Gussev.
First of all they should learn from
Comrade Gussev his exceptional
loyalty to the cause of the prole-
tartan revolution, his courage and
firmness in defense of the interests
of the proletariat, his ability to
small circles. his irreconcilability in
defense of the feminist principles
of the proletarian party, his Boil
shevik modesty, simplicity and eff
cheney.
Comrade GuSsev was the author OF
number of literary works both on
internal and international questions.
Mr., Ant Of
THE United Economic Plan, the
United Apparatus" published in 1920;
1.-THE Lessons of the Civil War" two
editions, 1921; Our Differences in
Military Matters" published in 1925;
ION the Threshold Of New Fights"
published in 1929; and quite recently
he wrote book, 1.-THE Second Party
Congress"
Besides books and pamphlets, Com
rade Gussev also wrote many articles
on urgent. questions of the interna-
tional revolutionary movement.
Comrade Gussev devoted his life
to the cause Of the proletarian revo-
luton. The banner under which he
fought is now carried by millions who
are struggling against starvation,
fascism, social treachery, against war
and the menace of intervention, for
the victory of the world proletarian
revolution.
The banner of LeniniSm is carried
on one-sixth Of the globe by millions
of workers and collective farmers who
are constructing the new Socialist
society
We will rally our ranks closer I'M
der this banner, gather around it new
millions of proletarian fighters
against capitalism, war and fascism.
The cause for which ComraGe Gus
sew fought will be carried to the end

The Foundations of Bolshevism>>By Lenin

painstaking labor and hard, bitter
experience. The creation of these
conditions is facilitated by correct
revolutionary theory, which in its
turn is not dogmatic, but which
forms itself in its finality only
through close connection with the
practice of the truly mass and truly
revolutionary movement.
If Bolshevism could successfully,
and under the greatest difficulties,
carry out in 1917-1920 the strictest
Capitalization and iron discipline,
it was due to a great many histor-
ical peculiarities OF Russia.
On the one hand, Bolshevism
came into being in 1908 on the very
firm foundation of MARKHAM theory.
This revolutionary theory and no
other, has proved sound in the light
of experience throughout the world
during the entire ninteenth CEN
fury, and has proven itself espe-
cially sound by the experience OF
the rankings, oscillations, mistakes
and disappointments OF revolution
airy thought in. Russia.
For half century, approximately
between the forties and nineties Of
of the preceding century, advanced
intellects in Russia under the yoke
of the widest and most reaction
airy Czarism, sought eagerly the
correct revolutionary theory, follow
ing the 'iast word" in Europe and
America with astounding diligence
and thoroughness, in order to md

BolSheviSm, as current of politi-
cal thought and as political party
dates back to the year of 1908. Only
the history Of its whole period of
existence can explain satisfactorily
why it was able to institute and
maintain, under most difficult condi-
lions the iron discipline necessary for
the proletarian victory.
And first of all, the question arises:
Upon what rests the discipline Of the
revolutionary party Of the proletar-
lat? How is it tested, controlled?
How is it reinforced, strengthened?
Firstly, by the consciousness Of the
proletarian vanguard and by its de-
votion to the Revolution, by its
steadiness, spirit of self-sacrifice and
heroism. Secondly, by its ability to
mix with the toiling masses to be-
come intimate with and to certain
extent to fuse itself with the prole-
tartan masses primarily but also with
the non proletarian toilers. Thirdly,
by the soundness of the political
leadership, carried out by the van
guard, and by correct political STRAIT
egy and tactics, based on the idea
that the workers from their own ex-
perience may convince themselves Of
the soundness of this political lead
ership, strategy and tactics. Without
all these conditions, discipline in
revolutionary party, really capable Of
being a party of the advanced class
whose object is to overthrow the
bourgeoisie is impossible of rcaliza-
ton. without these conditions, all
attempts to create discipline result
in empty phrases, in mere contor-
lions. On the other hand, these
conditions will not arise suddenly.
They are created through long,

For whom, then, is a workers

for those who are in a united front
with the capitalists, who want to
keep the workers from fighting, and
whose schemes are exposed by the
Communists.
But for the workers WHO want to

about such united front. The work
ers know that the Communists are
in the forefront Of every picket hne;
that the communists organize the
best struggles for the unemployed;
that the communists have never been
known to cooperate with the capital
lists in any of their slick schemes to
drive down the living standards of
the masses. They know that g united

The Socialist Party tried to split

IN MEMORY OF AN OLD BOLSHEVIK

The following has been issued In
the name of the Communist In
ternationaI TO the memory of
Comrade Gussev, who died recently
in Moscow:
The Communist International has
suffered the loss of Comrade Sergei
Ivanovitch Gussev. Death has torn
from our ranks an old Bolshevik, a
faithful warrior of the feminist
Guard, fighter for the october Re
volution, fighter for the world pro-
letarian revolution.
Conrade Gussev was a reserve
member of the Executive Committee
OF the Communist International and
of its Presidium.
He brought with him to his work
in the Comintern the richest revolu-
tionary experience both in the strug-
gle Of the working class in Russia and
on an international scale, experience
which he had accumulated in his 80
years of work in the Bolsheyik Party
under the direct leadership of Lenin.
In 1896 he joined the st. Petersburg
Union of Struggle for the Liberation
of the Working Glass at the moment
when the Social-Democratic groups
were passing from propaganda to the
mass workers movement.
In 1902, in Rostov, he was the lead
er of a mass strike, and his work is
an example OF how mass economic
strike can be converted into a revo-
lutionary political strike.
In 1908, when the split took place
at the Second Congress Of the Party,
he stood without hesitation on the
side OF Lenin. From this moment
to the end Of his life he carried on
an inflexible struggle as true Len
mist against Menshevism and all
forms Of opportunism.
MASTERED MILITARY SCIENCE
In 1905, in Odessa, he gave his wide
experience Of revolutionary mass work
for the solution Of the tasks of the
1905 revolution.
After the years Of reaction, exile
and emigration, Gussev was in the
foremost ranks Of the organizers Of
the October revolution in the Petro-
grad revolutionary military com
mittee, utilizing his enormous ex-
perience in the organization Of the
revolutionary mass movement and
two revolutions for the cause Of
the victory Of the October revolu-
ton.
During the Civil War, he rapidly
mastered the intricacies of military
Science and became one of the or
ganizers Of the victory Of the Red
Army in defending the first Father
land Of the international proletariat.
The feminist Party assigned the
most responsible leading posts to its
tried warrior And always, in every
thing he did, Comrade Gussev car
ried on an inconciliable struggle for
Leninism, against Trotskyism, both on
military questions and on the ques-
tons of the general policy of the
Party in connection with the intro
duction Of the New Economic Policy.
In 1923 Comrade Gussev was elect
ed secretary Of the Central Commit
tee of the Communist Party Of the
Soviet Union and continued to work
directly in the CP.S.U. until 1925,
when he came to work in the Comm
tern.

disappointments, checkingup and
comparison with European exper-
fence. Thanks to emigration forced
by the Gear, revolutionary Russia
In the second half of the nine
teenth century, came into posses
sion of rich international connec-
tions, and of an excellent grasp of
the forms and theories of the re-
volutionary movement such as no
other country had.
On the other hand, having come
into existence on this rock-bound
theoretical foundation, Bolshevism
went through fifteen years G903-
l91D Of practical history whose fer
tility of experience has no equal
anywhere else in the world. In no
other country during these fifteen
years was there anything approxi-
mating such wide revolutionary ex-
perience, such variety and rapid
ity of the shifting forms in
the movement legal and Illegal,
peaceful and stormy, open and I'M
derground, embracing small circles
and large misses, employing both
parliamentary and terroristic means.
In no other country during SO short
period of time has there been
concentrated such multiplicity OF
FORMS shades. distinctions an d
methods of struggle embracing all
classes of modern society. To this
it must be added that the struggle
because of the backwardness of the
country and the heavy yoke OF
Czarism, was maturing with partic-
ular rapidly, assimilating eagerly
and successfully the latest develop
ments of American and European
political experience.

SOCIALIST INCENTIVE

Union constitute no contradiction TO
the prevalent strong mass incentive.
Temporarily, they must serve to slim
ulate the less conscious elements to
acquire skill and to produce. The
wage system as whole is a hang
over from capitalism, part of the
baggage that has to be discarded dur
ing the transition from capitalism to
Communism. Improved production
methods and general education will
solve that problem. Recently Stain
said, in poleni2ing against tendencies
to at once equalize wages.
MARX and Lenin said that the
differences between skilled and I'M
skilled work would continue to exist
even under Socialism and even
after the classes had been annihi-
lated, that only under Communism
would this difference disappear,
that therefore, even under Social
ism wages must be paid according
to the labor performed and not
according TO need"
BESIDES the revolutionary enthus-
u iasm and initiative of the masses
and many other indications already
present of the eventual Wageless sys-
tenn there is the Party maximum,
That is, the members of the Com
munist Party have set wage limit
above which they cannot go. Thus
Stain gets the same wages, as many
hundreds OF thousands Of Other
workers and much less than large
numbers of Party mechanics anc
engineers. Russia" says Stuart
Chase, "has achieved more progress
and developed more initiative OF
$3.50 q month, the official Party sal
airy, than any other nation has evel
dreamed of in an equal period"
1t is exactly in the incentive Of thu
workers and poor farmers that TIT
proletarian revolution has its grea
force. This is what gains it the sup

Washington Negroes" he pointed

strong and effective leadership"
Most of our trouble in the past" he
continued, has been due to a lack of
substantial leadership. The Negro race
has a right to demand leaders who are
willing to represent them properly
even If it requires getting their heads
cracked
