Engelsov predgovor trecem z
danju Marxove knjige "Gradjan-

Sc sledecim recima:
~ poslednje vreme opet

diktatura proletarijata. Pa do
bro, gospodo, kako ia diktatura
izgleda? Pogledajte ma Parisku
Komunu. To bese diktatufa

Ali nisu sve diktature jednake.
Mozda to bese prava, cista dikta-
tura proletarijata u smislu da
njen sastav njeni prakticni "a
daci behu cisto socijaldemokrat-
ski? Zaista ne! Klasnosvesni pro-

macdonald, behu manjini; vecina
Wade sastojase Sc cd predstavni-
ka sitnoburzoaske demokratije.
Jedan cd njenih poslednjih ispi-
tivaca (Gustave Jaeckh) kaze ta-
ko bez sumnje. U centralnom od-
boru Narodne Garde, ma primer,
bilo je trideset-pet clanova, cd
kojih samo dvojica behu socijali-
sti (tj. clanovi internationally,
ali ia dvojica (Varlin i Avoine),
$ druge strane, imadjahu ogro-
man upliv medju svojim kolega-
ma ma vlasti. Lissagaray pise
istom odboru: "Behu Ii njegovi
cIanovi dobropoznati agitatori iii
socijalisti? Niposto; nj jedno do
bropoznato ime: sitnoburzoaski
radionEari, groseristi, klerkovi..."
Pa ipak sc Varlin i Avoine prik-
ljucise odboru. Docnije Sc tome
odboru prikljucise Pindy, Austin
Jourde.
New Yorker Arbeiterzeitung',
organ Internacionale, svom bro
ju cd 18. julia 1874, pise sledece:
"Komuna niie bila delo In
ternacionale; njih dve ne behu
identiGne, ali clanovi Interna-
cionale usvojise program Kc-
mune, isto vreme uveliko
prosirivsi njen originalni obim.
Oni takodjer behu njeni mai
zustriji, najpouzdaniji pobor-
nici, jer oni razumedose menu
vaznost "a radnicku klasu."
"Generalno Vece", ma CHEM ce-
lu stojase, kao sto je dobro poz-
nato, Marx, odobrilo je tn takti-
ku Pariske Federacije Internac:-
onale. U svom Manifesto, ono re-
ce: "Gde god Sc klasna borba vodi,
bilo kom obliku i pod bilo kak-
vim uslovima, prirodno je "a cla-
move naseg Udruzenja da stole Il
prvim redovima." Ali nasi pref
hodnici, clanovi Internacionale,
nisu zeleli da Sc pretope u komu-
nu. Kroz cello vreme su oni brani-
Ii svoju posebnu cisto proletersku
partijsku organizaciju. Jaeckh pi-
Sc: "Federalno Vece Internacio-
male, kroz svoje predstavnike, pr
vo Centralnom Odboru, zatim
Komuni, uspelo je da usposta-
vi svoj stalni upliv mad razvija-
MEM vaznih pitanja."
Sjajan dokaz nezavisnosti pro-
leterske organizacije onoga vre--
mena, ciji su predstavnici, me-
djutim, uzimali ucesca vlaGi,
moze Sc dobiti il sledece pozivne
karte:
"Vanredna sednica Federal

svetski proletarijat treba da po-

burzoazija slozila j konsolidovala

cionarno telo, da sc bori protiv
svoga zajednickog neprijatelja

ka Komuna je objavila rat svet-

NEGRO PATRIOTS TRY TO ENLIST
united STATES Navy CORP.

Last Tuesday a score of Negroes visited the Navy Recruiting
Station in Omaha and tried to enlist for service, but were advised
that there was no place where Negroes could be used in the navy at
this time, the Negro jobs in the mess section having already been
filled.
This curious development in recent years marks a backward
trend in this respect. In the war for American Independence, Me-
qroes served a S first-cIass seamen and gunners and a S petty officers
They served in the same capacities in the war of 1912 and in the Civil
War.
Such incidents will doubtless be used by enemy nations to prove
that even in wartime in America, loyal, patriotic citizens are refus-
ed the right to serve their country on account of color. This matter
will be played up" to our detriment-
Comparisons ire being made now with the conditions prevail
ing in the first world war. In that war the navy policy was as it now
is, but more than a thousand coIored commissioned officers we're in

The Axis powers cannot be beaten without national unity and
that cannot be achieved if color prejudice is to control the policy Of
