Situation in 1918

But comrades, in 1918 you had everything in
your hands You had arms, you formed your
Soviets of Workers and Soldiers Deputies You
we're thanked on two sides by the Soviet Re
publics of Hungary and Bavaria. The bour-
geosie lost their heads. They were afraid that
you would deal with them as the Russian work
ers dealt with their bourgeoisie in 1917 They
were afraid that you would confiscate their
houses and palaces for the workers. Now they
lombard your workers houses with artillery and
give them to the murderers of your wives and
children to live in. They expected that you
would disband all their political parties; now
they have suppressed your organizations They
expected that you would close down the whole
bourgeois press, now they have closed down your
press. They we're afraid that you would fill up
the prisons with the Dollfusses and the Feys,
the Starhenbergs and the other hangmen of

OTTO BAUER speaks Of the catastrophe in
Austria Yes, there is a catastrophe, but it
is the catastrophe of the whole Second Inter
national of its theory, policy and tactics 1t is
the catastrophe of the Social Democratic theory
of the peaceful painless growing of capitalism
into socialism through bourgeois parliamentary
democracy; the catastrophe of the reforn1ist
policy which tries to patch up disintegrating
capitalism; the catastrophe of the tactics aimed
at averting the proetarian revolution.
After the collapse of German Social Democ-
racy, this is the second catastrophe, a catas-
trophe towards which the Social Democratic
parties of other capitalist countries are similarly
heading. 1t is in vain that Otto Bauer in order
to prove that the coming to power of fascism
was inevitable, refers to the example of Ger
many where, upon Hitlers coming to power, as
he says, neither the powerful Social Democratic
Party nor the strong Communist Party offered
any resistance But if the German Social
Democracy had not, throughout this entire
period through its Severings, zoergiebels, and
Grzesinskies, conducted sanguinary struggle
against the snti-fascist front which was rallying
under the leadership of the German Communist
Party if it had not sabotaged the numerous
proposals made to it by the Communist Party,
including that of January 1888, to form united
front against fascism; if it had not rejected the
proposals made at that time by the Communist
Party for immediate proclamation of the general
strike and if it had not broken up the joint ac-
tons of the Communist and the Social Demo-
cratic workers against fascism, then we can
confidently assert that the German proletariat
would have been able to prevent the fascists
from coming to power and the German people
would not have become victims of the fascist
orgy. The Communist Party of Germany,
unfortunately was not at that time strong
enough to overcome the sabotage and betrayal
of Social Democracy and to lead the German
workers to an open armed fight against the Hit
Ter bands. 1t is clear that in Germany Just as
in Austria now, Social Democracy bears full
responsibility for the victory of fascisrn.

historical prerequisite for the victorious Oc-
tober in 1917? In 1928, the September insur-
rection Of the Bulgarian proletariat was sup
pressed, But Just as in 1905 the Russian prole-
tariat under the leadership of Lenin was able
to benefit by all the lessons Of the instruction,
gain confidence in its cause and carry its
struggle TO final victory, so the Bulgarian work
ers with their Communist Party at the head
and under the leadership Of the Communist
International after the bloody suppression Of
the uprising, became even more steeled,
strengthened their Party, and are now unWaver-
ingly carrying on the struggle against Bulgarian
fascism. After the experience of the Septem-
Der instruction, the Bulgarian proletariat
clearly perceived the roots of it's weaknesses and
the correctness Of the theory and practice Of
Bolshevisrn.
The Bulgarian proletsriat and its Communist
Party, which was driven underground, accepted
the doctrine of Bolshevism as the foundation
for their activity and struggle and converted the
defeat of the September uprising into the pre-
requisites for the victorious development of the
revolutionary proletarian movement in Bulgaria
And now, even the class enemy is compelled to
admit that the Bulgarian proletarist and its
Party have become much stronger than they
we're before the September instruction in 1928
The Austrian workers should take these his
torical lessons to heart. And as in 1905 in Rus
STA and in 1923 in Bulgaria, so now in Austria,
as a result of the sanguinary suppression of the
working class connbatants, the proetariat and
the bourgeoisie have become separated by an
unbridgeeble gulf, which is one of the condi-
tons necessary for the future victories Of the
proetariat.

in MEMORIUM

In loving memory of our beloved
husband, father, grandfather, and
brother, the Reverend John F. Gjert-
son. who passed away one year ago,
Feb. IA, 1888:
Our hearts ache in dire sadness,
Sorrow fills our soul;
AS memories remind us
OF you who have reached your goal.
Yet we know in Heaven there fingers
A waiting soul for us to greet;
One who died in Jesus only,
Now one who lives at Jesus feet.
One sad year has now departed
Since we were left to bear the loss;
Yet it's gain to die in Jesus = -
So help us Lord to bear our cross.

Pheasants have often been classed
among the best grasshopper deStroyers
and that fact is again brought to our
attention in the article appearing in a
recent issue of the ST. Paul Pioneer
Press, and reading follows:
Commenting on the fact that three
millions of dollars of federal funds
have been assured the Northwest in a
fight against graSShopperS. Charles Nc
Farlaine. deputy director of the Divi-
sion of Game and Fish. said that ring
neck pheaSants and other upland game
birds are the best means of graSshOp-
per control
survey in the state conducted
through game wardens in hopper in
fected areas particularly, indicated that
in places where pheaSantS and other
upland game birds are abundant, grass
hOpperS are comparatively scarce.
1.-THE examination of crops of pleas
ants shows that graSShopperS are one
of the most common forms of food for
these BIRDS" Mr.. McFarlaine stated, land
the number of graSShOpperS in a dis
trict will be in direct ratio to the de-
ficiency of upland game birds.
Our farmers are commencing to
realize the benefits of the pheaSants
and they are protecting and feeding
them rather than shooting them. Grass
hOpperS destroy farm crops, and pleas
ants and other species of game birds
destroy graSshopperS."
