Cops Wise to Schemers

I. lie policeman is wise in the ways of the schen-
- ing and conniving world in which he has to I've
ana work. therefore, when he sits in at the big
departmental ceremonies listening to pep-talks bv
the new mayor and the new chief he decides that
lie Will just go along minding his own business as
usual. lie mas learned that if he should go out and
Kick IN some politicians gambling house or sslle
ucKet to some ward leaders wife for parking at a
"ater-plug, he will get his some day. He may not
get his right now but when the commissioner of the
present moment has grown tired of his lob and re-
ufed to run for Governor or resume the wholesale
grocery business he will get his from the next man
he Will get his as he has seen so many credulous
ana duty-conSclous cops get theirs in times gone bv
and he can not be blamed if he decides In conf1ne
MS police work to crimes of violence or violations of
me moral and sanitary codes by persons of the most
obvious unimportance.
Neither will he run SquaWkng to the chief or
the papers If his perfect against some assassin
or SWindler is fumbled around in the courts and
presently reduced to charge of disordery conduct
he Will have learned that prosecutors and Judges
are the most reachable and cynical politicians of
all and that they trade favors with other politicians
in curious WAYS
All things considered it is a wonder that there
is not more crime. The city policemen have to con-
Slder their own future and conduct themselves so
as to outlaSt many chiefs. The country and small
town cops, as a type, are big dumb staggering
physical specimens with great personal vanity who
oreak more laws than they enforce and become
tyrants to strangers on the road.
If were New York policeman listening IN ono
OF General John F. Organs orations to the force
l would feel compelled to bear in mind that Tam
many has always come back. When Tammanv does
come back General Organ will not be there to
protect the jealous policeman. This is a gloomy
way OF looking at it, but cops not children.

CONDITIONS have so changed

Hebrews is not entirely applicable
today. But job, reviled by his

ruined and his family destroyed,
has an everlasting place as a mod
ern portrayal of the writhing
mental torture suffered by men
broken through no fault of their
own.
How often in the past few de-
pressing years have men cried out
in dismay, Let the day perish

man child conceived. Why died I
not from the womb?"

There on the ash heap job and
men representing two viewpoints,
the new skeptics and the old faith,
conduct an intellectual discussion.
Job vacillates between the two
and then molds his own ideal.
That the tribulations were test
in which Job had triumphed is
shown by the words, 80 the Lord
blessed the later end of Job more
than his beginning"
AS long as man is filled with

it is strong realism given with an
almost impossible accuracy in view
of the many hands through which
it passed.

been used as an interchangeable synonym for hypo-

Hypocrites and stuffed shirters' not the same

great deal of charm. If his protestatons and pos
lures are too markedly false the man is not more
than feeble faker and undeserving of the name

the capacity Of the home market,

Questions Can you outline
briefly the characteristics Of the
society of the future which Com
muni'm is trying to ereate7
REPLY: The general char
acteristics of Communist So
ciety are given in the works
of Marx, Engels and Lenin.
Briefly, the anatomy of Communist
society may be described as follows:
1t is a society in which (a) there will
be no private ownership of the
means Of production, but social,
collective ownership; Cb) there will
be no classes or State, but workers
in industry and agriculture man
aging their economic affairs as a
free association of toilers; (c) ma
tional economy, organized accord
ing to plan, will be based on the
highest technique in both industry
and agriculture; I'D there will be
no antithesis between town and
country. between industry and
agriculture; (e) the products will
be distributed according to the
principle of the old French Com
munists: from each according to
his abilities, to each according to
his needs; % science and art will
enjoy conditions conductive to their
highest development; (g) the in
dividual, freed from bread-and-
butter cares, and of necessity of
cringing to the powerful of the
EARTH" will become really free, etc,
etc. Clearly, we are still remote
from such society
With regard to the international
conditions necessary for the COM
plete triumph of Communist soci-
ETY., these will develop and grow in
proportion as revolutionary crises
and revolutionary outbreaks of the
working class in capitalist coun-
tries grow.
1t must not be imagined that the
working class in one country or in
several countries will march to-
wards Socialism, and still more to
Communism, and that the capital
lists of other countries will sit still
with folded arms and look on with
Indifference. Nor must it be
imagined that the working class
in capitalist countries will agree to
be mere spectators of the victorious
development of Socialism in one or
another country AS a matter of
fact, the capitalists will do all in
their power to crush such coun-
tries. AS matter of fact, every
step taken towards Soci-
alism, and still more towards Com
munism, in any country, will be
inevitably accompanied by the IN
restrained efforts of the working
class in capitalist countries directed
towards achieving the dictatorship
and Socialism in those countries.
Thus, in the further progress of
development of the international
revolution, two world centres will
be formed: the Socialist centre, at
tracing to itself all the countries
gravitating towards Socialism, and
the Capitalist centre, attracting to
itself all the countries gravitating
towards capitalism. The fight be-
tween these two centres for the
conquest of world economy will de-
eide the fate of capitalism and
Communism throughout the whole
world, for the final defeat of world
capitalism means the victory of
Socialism in the arena of world
econony.-Frcn Leninism, Vol. II,

urban and rural-and by that Gre
ate a constantly expanding base for
the further development of indus
try.
Finally, the naturalization of in
dustry facilitates the conduct of
industry as whole according to
plan.
Will these stimuli and motive
forces of our industry be perma-
nent factorsP Can they be prema-
nently operative factors? Yes, I'M
doubtedly they are permanently
operative stimuli and motive forces,
and, the more our industry devel-
ops, the more the strength and
significance of these factors will
grow-From Leninism, Vol. II, by
