questions on the agenda Of tha
Seventh World Congress Of the Com
munist International, there is an ar
ticle entitled The Question Of Fas-
cism" By L. AIadyar. This contribu-
ton by Comrade Madyar con-
stitutes a very important theoreti--
cal analysis of the development
and the present trends of fascism
in various countries. Undoubtedly.
this question will be the central
question before the Seventh World
Congress Of the Communist Inter-
national. Comrade Madyar an
alyzes the various forms Of fascism,
especially the developments in each
country and the ferment and .
struggles within the fascist ranks,
such as in Germany, Italy and other
countries. 1t is necessary to have a
clear perspective Of all these de-
velopments in order 10 be able to
organize the struggles against fas-
cism on the proper basis. 10
Another important contribution
in No 81 is the article by Com
rade Harry Pollitt on THE Work Of
the Communist Party Of Great Brit
ain. Since the Sixth Congress of 2

work Of our comrades in Great Brit

gels against Bakunin and his fol-
lowers. In this article Comrade

NUMBER q of The Communist
~ International, which is row on
sale, contains a number of i'm
portant articles which deal with
burning problems Of the present
time. In the previous issue NC.
20) there already appeared articles
which dealt with the problems that
will come up for discussion at the
coming Seventh Congress Of the
Communist international. No. 81
continues this discussion with con-
sideration Of problems of greatest
import to Party members, members
of the Young Communist League
and every student of Marxism-
Leninism, every sympathizer Of the
Communist movement.
We cannot in this brief space deal
with an analysis Of the articles in
detail or even with all the articles
that appear in this issue, but we
wish to call to the attention of the
readers the following:
Lessons Of October
First, the article by Bella Kun on
Three Lessons of the October Vic
tory for the International Probe
tariat." In this article Comrade
Bella Kun, in discussing the achieve
ments of the October Revolution and
the establishment of the Soviet
Union, shows that only through
political power in the hands of the
proletariat and the establishment Of
the dictatorship of the proletariat Is
it possible for the working class
and the toiling masses generally to
get freedom which is the freedom
for the greatest majority Of the
toiling masses; that we cannot speak
of freedom and liberty for the
toiling masses without at the same
time speaking of the necessity
of the seizure of power by the
working class
In this connection Comrade Bella
Kun also takes UP the question Of
the overthrow of the bourgeois class
domination. On the basis of the
experiences in Austria, in France,
and recent struggles of the working
class in Spain, he shows that the
working class can succeed in over
throwing the bourgeoisie only by
preparing and organizing the pro-
letarian revolution under the lead
ership of the Communist Party on
the basis Of the united front
struggles of the workers against
political and economic oppression.
United Front
The third and important ques-
ton discussed by Comrade Bella Kun
| is the question of the united front.
This problem must be carefully
studied by all Communists in order
to apply it correctly so as to be able
to win over many of the Socialist
workers for the united front AS
Comrade Bella Kun says: 1.-THE
united front of the Communists
and Social-Democrats in the struggle
against the capitalist offensive is
the path to the winning of the ma
jority Of the working class to the
banner of the consistent class
struggle for the dictatorship of the
proletariat, the banner of Com
munism."
In connection with the united
front problem there is reprinted the
appeal Of the Communist Interna-
tional on the Seventeenth Anniver-
sary of the October Revolution.
This appeal supplies Qualification
on the position of the Communist
Party and its role within the united
front movement.

THE treatment of criminals In the

THIS is wholly satisfying tran
scription Of GusSave Flaubert's
famous novel to the screen, and
about the finest French film since
Poll de Carotte" It contains ad-
mirable performances by Pierre
Renoir and Valentine Tester, as
Charles and Emma Bovary; is
splendidly directed by the other
son Of Renoir the painter-Jean
Renoir; and contains an excellent
musical score by the composer,
Darius Milhaud.
The scathing spirit of Flaubert's
book which was directed against
the thousand letters of bourgeois
society in the 1840s is in this film.
And there is much that is still Of
interest in the life of Emma, the
emotionally disturbed because 70
mantically inclined girl who woke
up to find herself trapped in an
impotent provincislism which could
not feed her desire for freedom and
happiness, which she believed she
could procure through compromise
one foot in reality, one in
unhealthy.
But Emma Bovary, inarticulate
and mistaken as she was, uncon-
sciously expressed the beginnings of
what could only be completely
achieved in g revolutionary society.
Living under standards Of society
that repressed her at every turn,
both in her own provincial circle
and in the upper world of which she
was too late disillusioned, and with
out any other ineligible force to
provide her with purposeful di-
rection-suicide was inevitable.
Fortunately today, there is way
out for the Emma Bovarys of the
world, in class struggle rather than
suicide. I heartily recommend this
fine film.
