branded as the quarrel of two des-
pots, and the proletariat is advised
to utilize the given situation for
its own emancipation.
In July, 1868, the General Coun-
Gil wrote to the trade union as fol-
lows:
"The fundamentals of society
must be the brotherhood of the
toilers freed from petty national
ism. Labor has no fatherland."
Only with the conquest of politi-
cal power, only by establishing the
dictatorship of the proletariat do
the workers-the world workers
achieve their fatherland. That ia
therhood is the Soviet Union, the
first sixth of the earth, which must
become the World Soviet Republic.
The spirit of the First Interna-
tional was true internationahsm
which set the international inter
ests of the workers, the interests of
the international revolution, higher
than those of the 'fatherland." And
this spirit famed up brighter than
ever, whenever a national war
threatened to involve the workers.
Against chauvinism" was the slo-
gan of the First International.
1.-THE First International 1884
1879 laid the foundation for the
international organization Of the
workers in preparation for their
revolutionary onslaught against
capital. The Second International
1689-1914 was the international
organization of the proletarian
movement, which grew in expanse
while sustaining temporary drop
in the height of its revolutionary
level, accompanied by temporary
strengthening of opportunism, which
led in the end to the collapse of
this International" Lenin).
Day Of First international Is Day

The sole heir 20 the First Inter
national is the Communist Interna-
tional, 1t is not only the sole guar
dian of the traditions of the First

decision of the First International,
the So-called Inaugural Address,
was based upon the Communist
Manifesto" even though certain
general meaningless phrases found
their way therein under the pres
sure of the petty-bourgeois senti-
mental representatives of the French
workers. But the fundamental prin-
ciple of the working class was
printed on the back of every mem
bership card as the gospel OF the
workers:
The emancipation of the work
ing class must be carried out by
the workers themselves. The fight
for the emancipation of the work
ing class is no fight for new class
privileges but for the destruction Of
all class rules. The economic sub
lection of the workers to the expro-
priator of the means of labor, l. E.,
of the sources of life, is the root
of serfdom in all its forms, of So
cial misery, of intellectual stunning
and of political dependence. The
economic emancipation of the work
ing class is therefore a great goal
which all political movements must
serve. All attempts to reach this
goal have hitherto failed because
of the lack of unity among the diff
ferent branches of labor in each
country and among the working
class of all countries. The eman-
cipation of the workers is neither
local nor a national task. 1t con-
Germs all countries where modern
society exists. :. b.. Therefore, Work
ers of the world, uniteP"
This was the formulation Of the
great task of the great profession
of the working class-"the conquest
of political power" for the reorgan-
ization of society on the basis of
general cooperation, of Socialism.
Therefore the working class must
keep abreast of the foreign policy
Of the ruling classes and their gov
ernlnents-and must confront it
with its own policy.

Marx adopted in 1866 at the be-
ginning of the Austro- Prussian War

Of the Communist Party, in his re-
port to it's Eighth National Conven-
ton at Cleveland, clearly differ
entiated between the possibility Of
the Negroes winning self-detevmi-

Of self-determination as a by-product
of the Revolution. tComrade Brow
der's report is now available in
pamphlet form. He pointed out
that the position Of the masses Of
Negroes, as farmers denied the pos
session of the land, is the founda-
ton for the special oppression of
the Negro people as a whole All
phases of struggle for Negro rights
must take as their foundation and

In a Soviet America, not only
would the Negro nation in the
BLACK Belt" enjoy the full right Of
determination, even to the.
point Of separation, but Negroes in
other parts of the country would be
accorded complete, unconditional
equality, with full participation by
the Negro toilers in the proletarian
dictatorship.
That the Negro workers themselves
will recognize that the Soviet sys-
tenn will best advance their interests
is indicated by the experience with
formerly oppressed naticnalities in.
what are now the Soviet Union and
Soviet China. In beth these coun-
tries. the liberated peoples are
among the best defenders of the
Soviet system. But that is a ques-
ton that the Negro nation will de-
eide for itself, with the Negro toll
ers as the decisive factor.

Question: Is it possible for the
Negro race to obtain complete self
determination under any system of
government other than a Soviet
system?-D. r.
Answer: Yes, by national up
rising Of the Negro majorities in the
BLACK Belt" territories Of the
South.
Such an instruction could be vic
torious under specially favorable
combination OF circumstances, as
for instance, aggressive support of
the agrarian-nationsl uprising by
white and Negro workers in the
North, with active. militant aid. or
at least neutrality, of the white
toilers in the Black Belt; Or a COM
bination Of working class support
and a war situation. in which the
American ruling class is involved in
struggle with another imperialist
power.
The peculiar position Of the Negro
people as an oppressed, colonial ma
ton within the territorial confines
of the depressing nation increases
the difficulties of a successful ma
tional-emancipatory war. At the
same time, however. this popularity
is a source Of weakness to Amer
lean imperialism, in q military sense
The Negro nation is the Achilles
heel of American imperialism, A ma
tional instruction in the BLACK
Belt" in war situation would con-
front the white ruling class with a
difficult problem. This is recognized
by the imperiajst rivals Of the U. S..
as shown in the present attempts of
the japanese imperiaNsts to exploit
the interests, the resentment of the
Negro masses, in the interests of
japanese imperialism in connection
with the preparations of beth Pow
ers for an armed struggle to decide
which group shall control the loot
ing Of China.
Marx and Engels. and later, Lenin
outlined the conditions requisite for
the success of a national revolu-
tionary struggle by an oppressed
nation. Marx and Engels, COM
menting on the italian war of lib
GRAFTON against Austria, declared:
"A people which wishes to con-
quer its independence cannot re-
strict itself to the usual methods
Of conducting a war. Mass insur-
rectioen, revolutionary war, partisan
detachments-these are the means
by the aid of which small nation
can overcome big one; only so
can a weaker army oppose one that
is stronger and better organized. .
Lenin declared that in the i'm
perialist epoch national liberation
wars are not only possible, but ARE
inevitable, progressive and revolt
tionary, although, of course, their
success demands either the united
efforts of an enormous number of
the inhabitants of the oppressed
countries or a specially favorable

WHILE the gold coast studios
w scuttle feverishly into the past
in desperate search for the ro-
nance and stability they will never
again see in this world, the new
Soviet film Thunderstorm that
opened at the Cameo this past Fri
day reminds Hollywood that the old
tyrannies return with the romance;
that beyond the mist of the nos
talgic past men and women lived
sordid, brutal and degrading lives.
The film is based on play by
the k-dramatist Ostrovsky who
lived in the early part of the last
century and it recounts the story
of a sensitive young woman who
marries into a petty merchant
family only to be repealed by their
coarse, swinish lives. She finds a
lover in the town who can give her
the attention and tenderness she
seeks; but the traditions of church
and class are more than she can
overcome, and, in the end, she is
trapped by her own code of morals
as well as by the lives about her.
She chooses death as her only es-
cape.
Though the theme and plot are
by no means novel, the audience
at the opening performance re-
sponded warmly to the ribald
humor and the excellent character
izations that a distinguished cast
and a fresh young director sue
ceeded in creating. Petrov, the di-
rector, bears watching. This is his
first film, and though it suffers from
weak continuity, be has already
shown powerful talent for Great
ing wildly earthly people.

do the social implications push
themselves forward independently
of the characters. This certainly
indicates the new strength that the
Soviet cinema is coming into. The
character Koudriash shown in his
shop, and in his relations with
women, can serve as q model to our
film makers and writers. Here is
man who is both brutal and
charming, who is trapped like
everyone in this mean provincial
town. The creation of a rounded
character intensifies the theme in
stead OF. as some of our comrades
might thing, bringing irrelevant
material into the plot.
Secondly, the story itself, as we'll
as the treatment is an unusual one
to find coming from the Soviet
studios. 1t is true that Soyuzfilm
in the past has dealt with the sub
lection of women and the struggle
for their emancipation. I believe
more is to be read into the present
treatment than the apology that
the material is drawn from a writer
living q, century ago. Though the
work of Ostrovsky was recognized
as classic a few years ago, it
could not have been brought to
the Soviet screen. That it has now
been Gone We can explain solely on
the new horizons that loom before
