means to participate in the interna-
tional polemics of the labor move
ment of the day, to follow the
gigantic class struggles which top
pied the Tsar off his throne, smash
ed the bourgeois republic of Keren-
sky, and built up the first Workers
! State. Indeed, Lenin's writings from
1900 on are increasingly valuable
as a guide to action today.
The eight volumes of the new
edition reveal the method of Lenin-
ism in its most concrete application.
They teach Marxism from life. They
show Lenin painstakingly anaIyzing
every situation, thinking out the
strategy and hitting on the weak
ness of each problem. These prob
lens are not Russian They are
world problems. They are prob
lens for today.
Contempt For Theory
For instance: Who is not familiar
with the contempt for theory which
characterizes so many recruits to
the working class movement today?
The attitude which says: Organize
on the industrial field and let poll
tics take care of itself?" This is
the Economist" question which was
agitating a section of the working
class movement, particularly in Rus
STA during the 1900-1905 period.
Against this theory Lenin wrote
one of his most famous essays:
What is to be done?" This is in
Guided in THE Iskra Period" This
first generation of Russian Bolshe-
viks, many of whom are now rem
dering great service to the workers
state, were brought up on this bril-
liant exposition of the policy and
tactics of the revolutionary socialist
movement.
The growth of Marxism in that
period was hindered by two weak
nesses. "Economism," the American

equivalent of pure and simple trade
unionism," held that the struggle
of the workers to improve their So
cial position must be the main aim
Of the socialist movement. This
hangover of economist" ideas in
America not only limits the fighting
capacity of thousands of class-con-
scious workers. 1t plays directly
into the hands of the conservative
bureaucracy of the A. F. of L., the
Greens and VOLS whose cry of mo
politics in the trade unions" is de-
hberately raised to prevent the nee
essary introduction of working class
policies-while Green and Company
ceaselessly preach capitalist politics
Of class collaboration, and urge the
rank and file of the A. F.. of l..
to vote for capitalist parties.
Allied with "economism" was the
objection to the oganization of a
strong, centralized working class
party. The case for the party, the
only guarantee of the proletarian
revolution, is written by Lenin with
his customary brilliance. He wrote
in this period:
IF we have a strongly organized
party, a single strike may grow into
political demonstration, into a
political victory over the govern
ment."
The party. he explained, was to

SERUM ZOE sPIDER BITE

A highly effective anti-venom Sc
rum against the often fatal bite Of
the black widow spider has been
produced by Professor Fred glamour
of the University Of Denver. He OBJ
tains the serum from rats blood
which has been treated with venom
obtained from the spiders glands.
The black widow spiders have
been increasing at an alarming rate,
and are said to be a greater menace
than rattIesnakes. These poisonous
spiders have been invading the
cities. They have been found in
bedrooms, garages and similar
places, and deaths from their bites
occurred in the past few years.
The new serum first proved its
worth when vineyard worker who
was suffering from a spiders bite
was given immediate relief by the
serum, although he had been bitten
three hours before the antidote was
administered by a physician. The
new antidote gives prompt relief as
long as three and a half hours after
the bite This is of great practical
advantage, since it is people in the
rural districts who are most fire.
quently bitten.
The bite of the black widow is not
painful. But after an hour a
numbing pain spreads from the
bitten region and focuses in the alb
dominal muscles, back and chest
Intense suffering and spasms follow.
High fever, nausea, vomiting and
inconsistencies are other symptoms.
The chest muscles contract and
make breathing extremely difficult.
The venom of the black spider is

If the rays are electronic in

SpOuters Of Cheap Phrases
To repeat these questions indi-
Gates they do not belong to the
past, they press for solution to-
day. The feminist theory is more
than ever necessary to equip the
working class with the armor in
the fight against social patriots.
These, like their predecessors in the
Second International of 1914-18 and
Of today, are ever ready to spout
cheap paciffst phrases against the
horrors of war" and ever ready
to cover up the class interests and
class forces which make imperialist

a necessary feature Of capitalist So
ciety.
"The Revolution of 1917" and
Towards the Seizure of Power"
1.-TWO volumes each) are a magnifi-
cent history of the Revolution and
an analysis of the problems of its
stages. Step by step we see how
the Bolsheviks, keenly sensitive to
the moods Of the masses, carefully
appraising the objective situation,
shape the policy that leads the
working class and peasantry, first
to bring in the democratic republic,
then to the workers State, the So
Wet Union.
Towards the Seizure of Power"
contains such classics as state and
Revolution" and will the Bolshe-
viks Retain State Power?" The
questions discussed in these works
are of the highest Importance to-
day. With what whips does Lenin
scourge those statesmen who reject
class examinations of the state, who
shrink from Marxist analysis of
the State as "the executive COM
mittee of the ruling class" In
state and Revolution Lenin re-
stores Marxist theory to it's rightful
place as the key of proletarian
revolution.
Included in this tenth anniversary
3-volume set of Lenin are many
other outstanding writings such as
me Teachings of Karl Marx;
Socialism and War; The Threat

in the labor movement. The sue

tive. The success of this edition

WHY YOU SHOULD EAT

The isolation of scientists from
social reality often makes them
come to conclusions that have no
practical meaning. For example,
Dr. H. c. Sherman of Columbia
University, In a recent book on
Food and Health" makes the
rather obvious point that if you are
fed properly, then your chances Of
prolonging your life are enhanced.
He says that man now has "ths
option Of longer lease of healthier
life, of more buoyant health
throughout the whole life-cycle, as
the result of taking a larger proper
ton Of the needed calories in the
form of protective foods. by this
he means milk and its products,
fruits vegetables and eggs.
DR.. Sherman believes that at
least one half of the needed calories
(shoulO be taken in the form of
these protective foods, he has con-
Quoted experiments which prove the
need of these foods in every per-
sons diet.
But here is the rub. Where are
the unemployed and their families,
or even the employed workers, to
get money to buy these essential
foods that improve the rate Of
growth in children and increase the
vitality Of adults. Unemployment
insurance and adequate wages are
denied to the toilers as capitalism
protects its profits at the expense
Of the lives Of workers families.
The scientific diets can have no
meaning for the workers when they
cannot even obtain enough food to
quiet the pangs Of hunger. 1t is
a severe indictment Of the profit
economy that it is Withdrawing
millions of acres from production,
when government statistics show
that in 1888 there was a serious
shortage of vital foods like milk,
eggs and vegetables in terms Of
what the Department of Agricul-
ture calls a liberal diet. Dieticians
must recognize that what is valid
in their work cannot be carried out
under capitalism. OF course, pseudo
scientific programs such as the
hunger diets that are drawn up for
the unemployed are utilized by our
ruling class to cut relief.

MORPHINE SUBSTITUTE

A derivative of morphine has been
found which seems to have the
possibility of being non-habit-form-
ing. The new drug is ten times as
effective in relieving pain as NOR
phine according to its discoverer,
Dr.. Lyndon F. Small, research
chemist at the University Of Vir-
GINA.
When administered as a substi-
tute for morphine, the new drug
satisfied the cravings Of the addicts
and relieved the painful symptoms
that follow abstinence from the
drug. This indicated that it also
might be habit-forming.
A decisive test is to be made on
this point. Patients who suffer
from severe cases Of cancer and ad-
vanced stages of tuberculosis usually
become morphine addicts, because
the drug Is the only thing that will
kill their intense pain. Such
patients will be given the new drug
to relieve their suffering. If after
careful checks, it is found that they
fail to become addicts then the new
drug will turn out to be the long
sought for substitute for morphine
1t not only would be safe substi-
tute, but it could be employed in
curing cases of narcotic drug adj
diction. All these possibilities de-
pend upon the successful outcome
Of the experiment.
