Historians Consider
Revolutions Of 1S4S

The history of Europe's revolu-
tionary year Of 1S48 occupied Sec
tions of the American Historical
Association yesterday, as its annual
convention came to an end In the
Mayflower Hotel.
Historians have given consider
able attention this year to the events
of Europe 100 years ago, when rev.
olutions broke out in France, Ger
many, Austria and Italy. All Of the
uprisings were unsuccessful.
In much Of the world the year Is
memorable for the appearance Of
Karl Marks Communist manifesto,
the first Of the revolutionary litera-
ture by Marx and Frederick Engels
that became the basic theology OF
the Russian revolution Of Octo-
ber, 1917.
How the revolutions on the con-
tinent conditioned the historical
theories being worked out by Marx
and Engels was detailed by Leon
ard Krieger, a youthful member of
the Yale University faculty.
Mr.. Krieger told of Marks study
Of the paradoxes of French political
developments of that revolutionary
year-the bourgeois opposition to
bourgeois domination and the emer-
gence of a royalist middle-class
majority.
Thus" said Mr.. Krieger, Marks
theory Of the class struggle became
infinitely complex, as he wove the
woof Of temporal events across the
warp of his philosophy"
