KAUTSKY, FRIEND
Of MARX, IS DEAD
Foe of Bo|shevism Expires
at 81 in Exile at
Amsterdam.
BY the Associated Press.

AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands,
Oct. 17-Karl Kautsky, "a, friend Of
Karl Marx and veteran German-Aus-
trian Social Democrat, died here today
in exile.
He fled from Vienna when Austria
was united with Germany last March
and was offered refuge in the Neither
lands for life
An advocate Of pure Marxism"
and editor OF MARKS books, Kautsky
wrote against bolshevism in two no
table works. Die Diktatur Des Prole-
tariats" and Der Bolschevismus in
Der Sackgasse.
He founded the newspaper Die
Neue zetit and was its editor for "a
years.
Kautsky, born in Prague-then in
Austria-October IS. 1884, was one
Of the foremost disciples of Marx, and
after the death in 1895 OF Friedrich
Engels. Marks collaboration, he was
regarded as the most important inter-
prefer of Marx doctrines.
At the outbreak of the World War
Kautsky adopted pacifist attitude and
in 1917 joined with Hugo Haase in
organizing the Independent Social
Democratic party in Germany.
He was strongly opposed to the Rus
sian revolution and to the forms OF
Marxism adopted by the Communist
leaders. He wrote considerable body
OF controversial literature against
Lenin. Trotsky and others.
Attacked Lenin's Doctrines.
He attacked Lenin's doctrines and
his application of the dictatorship Of
the proletariat and asserted the Rus
sian revolution was only bourgeois
revolution, the chief achievement OF
which was the transfer of land to
the peasants.
After the World War the first revo-
lutionary government in Berlin gave
Kautsky access to the archives OF the
German foreign ONCE and he made
a selection Of documents for publica-
tion. The purpose was to throw guilt
for the war on the ex-Kaiser and
exonerate the new republican regime.
After some disagreement with au-
thorities selection finally appeared
late in 1919, Kautsky being only one
Of the editors. An English transla-
ton, called The Guilt OF William
Hohenzollern," appeared in 1920.
In Vienna After War.
During the postwar period Kautsky
made his home in Vienna, where he
still enjoyed great prestige as the most
distinguished theorist OF MARKHAM So
cialist thought. He declined to join
the United German Communist party
and with other Marxists went into the
Social Democratic party.
That party went into eclipse with
the rise Of the Nazis to power, and
with the annexation of Austria last
