STUDENT OF MARxISM takes ISSUE with Roth
LUCID and GARDINER ON TRIAL OF ELEVEN

The IL" said in effect that the writ
lngs of Marx, Engels, etc., are mere
ly interesting accounts of the way
things were done in bygone days in
other countries, but do not apply to
America today; that if you wish to
know what Marxism- Leninism means
here and now, then don't read Marx
and Lenin, but read Foster and Den
mis-!
1t is rather plain that the present
attack against the so-called Commun-
list Party is not made because of the
party's strength, but because it is
pitifully weak and in retreat-even
retreating from it's formerly held
Marxist position. The attack is made
because of fear of what the party
might become, and because the Hit
ler-like pattern of attacking the Com
munists first, the trade unionists sec
ond, and all organizations of the COM
mon people third, is being faithfully
followed. 1t is a cowardly and pitt
full defense, therefore for the Com
munists who were on trial to "patri-
otically" recount how many Com
munists fought in World War II; to
wall that the heritage of Jefferson,
ETC., is being trampled under foot;
that Judge Medina is unfair. All such
protestations are obviously true. But
such communist" succeed only in
earning the utmost contempt from the
very people they are trying to i'm
press, when under attack they repud-
late what other Communist Parties
of the world uphold above all else:
MARXISM.
In conclusion, it might be pointed
out that one of the most illustrious
advocates of world Communism, Di-
conducted quite different
defense, when being tried for his life
before a Nazi court. Dimitrov said
boldly to his Nazi judges: II do not
wish to offend my Party comrade,
Torgler; particularly as | think his
defending counsel has already offend
ed him enough, but as far as | am
| would sooner be SEN
fenced to death by this court, though |
than be acquitted by the
sort of defense put forward by DR..
Sack :. 1t is true that the highest |
aw for me is the program of the
Communist International. In |
short, Dimitrov repudiated nothing.
Yet ironically enough, in this con-
lection) Dimitrov WON his free

DOESN'T WANT BONNER
TO GET ON SAME
AS HIS PREDECESSOR

December 10, 1915
Editor, Peoples Voice
Dear Editor:
l want to thank Associate Justice
Bottomly for his nice article on the
"tidelands" and our resources.
l see in the paper where our Gov
ernor is on the same old track as ou1
former Governor, Ford. 1t sure is
too bad we can't have a man that we
really can depend upon. l thought
Bonner would be real Governor, of,
for, and by the people but it don't
look that way now. In place where
there is millions of dollars involved,
he surely shouldn't fail us. Cover
nor Bonner, like good many of the
officials we elect, promised faith
fully to work for the peoples well
fare, but when they get into office,
the pressure from the money class is
so hard, and plentiful, that it's too
hard to turn down.
We look back to just few years
ago before the last world war. How
often we heard these words-we
should have cleaned Germany up
right and we wouldn't of had anoth-
er war; Well, here we are again. L,
for one think they cleaned up Germ
any in this last war. But what are
they preparing Germany for, now?
1t makes a fellow SILVER when you
read these things. The waste of
money that is taking place today is
something terrible, not just in Germ
any, but all over-here and there,
mostly for war business.
AS long as these many factories
belong to the monopoly class we will
have trouble and war all the time, be-
cause there is too much money involv-
ed to be managed by that class. They
are holding the control over the peo-
pie. This will carry on until the
people wake up and do something
about it for their own good and pro-
lection.
How come that most of the resour-
ces we have, belong to the few? Did
God give it to the money class? If
he did he sure wouldn't be the God
he's supposed to be. think it was
left there for those that happened
to come here. When the people take
control of the resources we will live
in peace, but not until. That refers
to all the resources-oil, gas, timber,
coal, etc.
1 am enclosing So to renew my sub
scription to the Peoples Voice. |
wish you a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year-BERGER JOHN

DR. Udoh Udoma of Nigeria said a
mouthful in his statement:
"The paradox of domination is not
that men prefer the state of masters
to that of slaves; it is rather that the
masters come to believe, often quite
generally, that their mastery is bene-
fetal to the slaves"

GAME COMMISSION SHOULD
STOP PARTICIPATING In
SLAUGHTER OF ELK

John Bonner to stop the fish and
game commission from purchasing
or receiving further elk carcasses
from Yellowstone Park after the In

The sportsmen in another resolu-

eral hundred so-called nonprofit clubs
have been formed in Montana. 1t also
is a matter of common knowledge
that activities of these clubs are con-
fined to one single object-operation

it readily can be seen that nearly 100
per cent of these clubs are operated on
the same premises and in connection
with bars and by the same staff that
operates the bars.
cat one time, gambling, including
slot machines, was entirely prohib-
tied by law in Montana" Derry con-
tinued. "a few years ago the legis-
lature passed an act permitting
punchboards and certain trade slim
ulators to be used when the winnings
were redeemable in merchandise. At
the same time they included in the
law the fact that the gambling laws
did not apply to fraternal societies,
churches and private homes. -.
Under such exemptions, organ
izations such as the Elks, Moose,
Eagles, American Legion and bona

membership lodges, were and are per-
mltted to operate slot machines.

attempting to obtain more revenue,

a license and there was no objection
to it. However, any such organiza-
ton had the burden of proving that
they were a bona fide fraternal or
ganization in the event they operat-
ed slot machines. Regardless of
license was issued, it would
be necessary for them to prove they
were what they claimed to be if such
fact was questioned
