Communist Party i s
Vanguard of the
Working Glass
By V. 1. LENIN

THE victory of Socialism-as the
first stage of Communism over
Capitalism-requires that the pro-
letarist, as the only really revolt
tionary class, should accomplish the
three following tasks: first-to over
throw the exploiters and in the first
instance the bourgeoisie, as their
chief economic and political repre-
sentative; to defeat them complete
ly, to crush their resistance and to
render impossible attempts on their
part to reinpose the yoke Of capital
and wage slavery.
Second-to induce not only the
entire proletariat or its overwhelm-
ing majority but also all the toll
ing masses exploited by capital to
follow the leadership of the revolu-
tionary vanguard of the proletariat,
the Communist Party; to enlighten,
organize, train and discipline them
during the very course of the i'm
measursbly bold and mercilessly
firm struggle against the exploiters;
to wrest this Overwhelming ma
jority of the population in all cap
italist countries from their state of
dependence on the bourgeoisie; to
inspire them, through practical ex-
perience with confidence in the
leading role Of the proletariat and
Its revolutionary vanguard.
Third-to neutralize or render
harmless the inevitable vaeillations
Between the bourgeoisie and the pro-
letariat, between bourgeois democ-
raoy and the Soviet power, on the
part of that class-still quite MI
merous in almost all advanced
countries although constituting a
minority of the population-of small
proprietors in agriculture, industry
and commerce, as we'll as the corr
. responding stratum of i11telligentsia,
employees, etc.
The first and second tasks are in
dependent tasks, each requiring its
special methods of action in regard
to the exploiters and in regard to
the exploited. The third task re-
suits from the first two, requiring
only a skillful, timely, and supple
combination of the methods of the
first and second, depending on the
concrete circumstances of each sep
arate case of vacillation.
IN THE present situation-which
throughout the world and espe-
cially in the most advanced, power
full, enlightened, and free capitalist
countries has been created by mill
tarisrl and imperialism, by the
strangling of the colonies and weak
nations, by the imperialist world
slaughter, by the Versailles peace"
to harbor any thought of a peace
full submission of the capitalists to
the will of the majority of the ex-
plotted, of a peaceful, reformist
transition to Socialism, is not only
proof of extreme petty bourgeois
stupidity but is an outright decep-
ton Of the workers, is to gloss over
capitalist wage slavery, is to con-
ceal the truth.
This truth consists in the fact
that the most enlightened and
democratic bourgeoisie even now
does not shrink from any deception
and crime, from the slaughter of
millions Of workers and peasants,
IN order to retain the right Of pri-
vate ownership in the means of
production. Only the forcib1e over
throw of the bourgeoisie, the con-
fiscation of its property, the de-
struction of the entire bourgeois
state apparatus from top to bottom

toilers and exploited will be able
to acquire under conditions Of capt.

sumes an endless variety of forms
and which is the more refinsd and
at the same time the more cruel

MlLLENS, FABER
 STILL. BATTLING
Their Attorneys Have Filed Motion for Further Stay
 of Execution

Washington, April 29-(UP)- Attorneys for Irving and Murton Millen and Abraham Faber, await ing execution for the staying of Policeman Forbes A. Mcleod in a Needham, Mass, bank robbery, an- nounced today they will s e k a further stay of execution to permit the supreme court to act on the case. Word of the contemplated &C., ton was left at the office of the clerk of the court while the law yers perfected plans to carry the case to the high court. The defend- ants, now in the Charlestown State Prison, are scheduled to die May 4. Because the court will not have time to act on the plea for a re- view before that date the governor of Massachusetts will be asked to delay execution until after June 8, the latest date the court is likely to conclude its present term.
 The Millens were represented on appeal by George Stanley Harvey. Faber was represented by William R. Scharton. The defendants claim ed in papers which will be filed later that they were not given a fair trial. The court and jury failed they charged, to rule on the issue of the Millens' sanity which they contend was a direct issue in the case. The high state of public in- dignation and broadcastng appar- atus set up to inform a crow d outside the courthouse of the ver- dict, they also claimed, served to affect the jury.

CLERGYMAN MAY
 BE NAZI VICTIM

Geneva, April 29-(UP)-A Nazi plat against the Rev James Parkes, well-known English authority on anti-Semitism, was suspected by police today. His servant, Lionel Thomas, regained complete con- sciousness and revealed he had been slugged on the head Saturday by an assailant in the clergyman's apartment who first blinded him with a flashlight. Police, under in structions from Berne, where the Berne protocol trial is in progress, informed Parkes five weeks ago that they were putting a guard on his apartment because of informa- tion that Nazis intended to steal his documents on anti-Semitism or threaten him personally.
 Friends of the clergyman said Thomas left the apartment on the fourth floor Saturday night to car ry ashes to the cellar. Thomas said he dumped the ashes and closed the door behind him as he letf. He heard a tinkling noise and reopened the door. A light flashed in his eyes and he was attacked, presumably in the belief that he was Parkes.

REGISTRARS MAY HEAR DECISION
 ON WEDNESDAY,
Supreme Court of Errors May Rule on Motion
 to Reargue Case

The supreme court of errors is expected to take action on the mo- tion filed in behalf of the regis- trars of voters when the high court meets Wednesday at Hart ford. The motion asks the supreme courts permission to reargue the issues of the case. The high court in surprise decision directed that the registrars, Thomas Dil- lane, republican registrar, and Henry O'Connor, demorcat regis- trar, be removed from office.
 The motion asking permission to reargue the case was filed by Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor and Claims Attorney Vincent A. Scully. If the supreme court denies the motion, motion will be filed in superior court here asking that judgment in accord- ance with the supreme courts de- cision, be entered.
 May Take Week
 If the high court grants the permission, 1t will be several weeks before the case will be reargued. The custer petition was heard in superior court before Judge Edwin c. Dickenson who in a lengthy de- cision, found that while there was some carlessness in the conduct of the office there was no reason to remove the defendants from office.
 The supreme court reversed this decision by a four to one de- cision and directed that the two registrars be removed from office for five years. The petition was brought by five petitioners headed. by Harry c. Post.

 London, April 29-(UP)- Germans planned submarines will be of revolutionary de- sign and capable of influenc- ing the balance of sea power, according to information reaching naval intelligence circles today.
 It was said that the sub- marines would use hydrogen combined with fuel oil for surface propulsion and hydrogen and oxy- gen for submerged propulsion, thereby eliminating the weight of heavy electric batteries. Their cruising radius will be 5000 miles. It was reported also they would be capable of delivering attacks from unprecedented depths, out of the reach of present anti-subma- rine craft and their bombs - an innovation which the hydrophone, perfected by the Germans for un- derwater listening, has facilitated

 There were surmises that twelve 250-tons submarines which reliable information said Germany was pre- pared to build would be used for training purposes while more powerful ones were being built.
