Welfare, I feel that we have been
doing an important work of vital
and tremendous value. But I am
coming more and more to realize that
public welfare agencies cannot get
along without the aid of the private
agencies. Private service, such as you
are financing, is just as important as
the public welfare. There is flexi-
bility that prevails in private agencies

izstions Of the Socialist parties and
the trade unions, organized in the
Second International since 1889 and
in the International Federation of
Trade Unions, grew enormously in
numbers and strength. The Socialist
International numbered twelve mil
lions by 1914. The program of Marx
ism remained in name the program.
But the practice turned increasingly
to opportunism, that is, to sdapta-
ton to the existing capitalist re-
gime for the sake Of limited i'm
mediate concessions.
THE true character of the period
L of imperialism was not at first
understood even by many Socialists.
A whole theory of opportunism
grew up within the ranks of inter-
national socialism. This theory re-
garded the period of Imperialism as
a refutation of the teachings of
Marx: as an advance of capitalism
to new life and higher organization,
overcoming its conflicts; as a period
of the gradual reconciliations, of
social reform and increasing i'm
provement of conditions for all, and
of the peaceful advance to socialism.
These theories were in principle re-
futed and condemned by the Social
list International; nevertheless, they
increasingly dominated in practice.
The World War dealt the death
blow to these illusions. revealing

stage of history are the last to be-
come convinced that their role is
ended. It is impossible to convince
them of this. They think that the
assures In the decaying edifice of
the old order can be mended, that
the tottering edif1ce of the old order
cen be repaired and saved That
is why dying classes take to arms
and resort to every means to save
their existence as ruling class.
WELLS: But there were not few
lawyers at the head of the Great
French Revolution.
STAIN: Do you deny the role of
the intelligentsia in revolutionary
movements? Was the Great French
Revolution lawyers revolution and
not popular revolution, which
achieved victory by rousing the vast
masses of the people against feud-
alism and championed the interests
Of the Third Estate? And did the
lawyers among the leaders of the
Great French Revolution act in &C
cordance with the laws of the old
order? Did they not introduce new,
5ourgeois-revolutionary law?
Prepared for Battle
The rich experience Of history
teaches that UP to now not a single
class has voluntarily made way for
another class. There is no sucn
precedent in world history. The
Communists have learned this lesson
of history. Communists would well
come the voluntary departure of the
bourgeoisie. But such turn of af-
fairs is improbable; that is what ex-
perience teaches. That is why the
Communists want to be prepared
for the worst and call upon the
working class to be vigilant, to be
prepared for battle.
Who wants a captain who lulls
the vigilance of his army, captain
who does not understand that the
enemy will not surrender, that he
must be crushed? To be such a
captain means deceiving, betrsying
the working class. That is why l
think what seems to you to be old
fashioned is in fact a. measure of
revolutionary expediency for the
working class.

Life and Teachings Of vi. Lenin

1870. The name Of Lenin, By which
the whole world knows hin, was
originally a revolutionary pseudo
nym, adopted only after manhood
to meet the needs Of Illegal reyolu-
tionary work under tsarism.
Such conditions of Illegal reyolu-
tionsry work were almost unknown
at the time in most of the rest of
Europe, save for the very much
milder example of the Anti-Socialist
Laws of Bismsrk in Germany dur
ing the eighties. They were con-
sidered essentially peculiar to the
"backwardness" of Russia.
Today the tables are turned.
Over the great part Of Europe such
methods Of illegal revolutionary
work are becoming obligatory for
conducting, not only the most ele-
mentsry socialist propaganda. but
even the most elementary political
fight against complete servitude.
The "backwardness" of tsarism held
in fact the mirror, in many respects,
to the future Of the European ma
tions in the period of imperialist
decay; the revolutionary movement
which grew up under those condi-
tons has become the strongest and
the most advanced; while in the
advanced" European countries the
movements which had prided them
selves on their strength and leading
role are now painfully compelled to
learn the methods Of struggle under
the whip of the counter-ravolution.
This profound historical transposi-
ton is Of the greatest importance
for understanding the role of the
Russian revolutionary working class
movement. led by Lenin, in the in
ternational sphere.
The Basic Conceptions and Founda-
tiOns of Len:n's Work
THE legend is sometimes given cur
L rency that Lenin was COM
pletely unknown in world politics, or
known only to a small band of
faithful disciples, before 1917. Thus
one of the most recent romantic
biographies in English declares that
1T is not an reinstatement to say
that he was an unknown person in
the public life of the world until
October, 1917"
This is not correct. Apart from
his leadership in the old Socialist
International, on whose bureau he
played for period an active part.
his historical role was familiar even
to bourgeois observers outside Rus
STA already before the War. Thus a
standard work such as the Cam
bridge Modern History" published
in 1910, in a short chapter on the
preceding half century of Russian
history devotes half a page to the
work and theories of Lenin as one
Of the significant influences of the
last decade of the nineteenth cen
fury and first decade Of the twen-
tieth in Russia.

class society.
Harry Esman had a tough time
in the Soviet Union for a while,
after he had seen the country, had
an interview with Maxim Gorky,
been given some honorary titles,
and had two months vacation in
a rest home in Crimes.
He went to the factory school Of
"Amo," the big Moscow automobile
plant. There he found a friend, and
had a good time, and paid little or
no attention to his studies. He was
undisciplined. and, when criticized,
walked around with a chip on his
shoulder. Was he not Harry Els

WELLS: do not deny that force
has to be used, but I think the
forms of the struggle should fit as
closely as possible to the opportu-
mites presented by the existing
laws, which must be defended
against reactionary attacks. There
is no need to disorganize the old
system because it is disorganizing
itself enough as it is. That is why
1t seems to me insurrection against
the old order, against the law, is
obsolete, ld-fashioned.
Incidentally, I deliberately exag-
gerate in order to bring the truth
out more clearly. I can formulate
my point of view in the following
way: first, I am for order; second,
I attack the present system in so
Iar as it cannot assure order; third,
I think that class war propaganda
may detach from socialism just
those educated people whom social
ism needs.
Role of IntelIigentsia
STAIN: In order to achieve
great object, an important social
object, there must be a main force,
bulwark, revolutionary class.
Next it is necessary to organize the
assistance of an auxiliary force for
this main force; in this case this
auxiliary force is the Party, to
which the best forces of the intel
ligentsia belong.
Just nov you spoke about "edu-
Gated people" But what educated
people did you have in mind? Were
there not plenty of educated people
on the side OF the old order in
England in the seventeenth century,
in France at the end of the eigh-
tenth century, and in Russia in the
epoch of the october Revolution?
The old order had in its service
many highly educated people who
defended the old order, who OPP
posed the new order. Education is
a weapon the effect of which is
determined by the hands which
WELD it, by who is to be struck down.
OF course, the proletariat, socialism,
needs highly educated people
Clearly, simpletons cannot help the
proletariat to fight for socialism, to
build new society.
1 do not underestimate the role
of the intelligentsia; on the contrary,
emphasize it. The question is,
however, which intelligentsia are we
discussing? Because there are diff
ferent kinds of intelligentsia.

more advanced theory. Glasses will

those who took the class last term
are planning to take the advanced
class.
THE class you arr planning in
New York is quite different from
the one that we are conducting:
possibly you have a much better
plan. Now that we have unearthed
several real live hams, we can pos
sioly use a program more like yours.
We, Of course. have been doing code
practice, but that has been outside
the class-in the club. We have
reached the point where we all know
the code and can receive about 5

when We send to each other with
the oscillator. but when we tried
to listen to traffic last week, we
didn't get one station sending slow
ly enough; we got nothing out Of
that session. Now, of course, we
can have one of our hams send
to us.
AS for building the club receiver

here as cheaply as you can in New
York 1t is merely matter of our
getting active and raising the nec-

some hams in the club, we will
no doubt find it much easier because
they have offered to contribute their
