In what way is the growth of Communism manifest ?
ILL WXJ.«u »»
Powerful Communistic alliances are springing up and expandmg in all Capitalist counttis.
Thevam enfolding in ever increasing degree the wide strata of the working classes The , 0 J ueMt
Jf Communistic ideas will day by day stimulate the masses to strengthen themselves.
The Social harmony party is now bloated like a putrescent corpse and is losing the 1^
remnant of trust which the working classes imposed m it.
There is considerable schism in the world’s professional movement A huge slice of o,g a .
nized labour has split away from Yellow Amsterdam and has attached itself to Red Moscow.
A gigantic wave of strikes continuously rolls over all the Capitalist world dealing destructive
blows atTthe abutments of Capitalism. The colonies are in a ferment The peasants of
Morocco Algeria, and India are m revolt. The burning breath of the proletarian revolution
is as a mighty whirlwind sweeping over the whole terrestrial globe and bearing along all enslaved
and unfortunate workers to the last decisive struggle.
Capitalism is cracking throughout its mass. The proletarian revolution spreads and gab
in strength.
This is the international wirse en scene in which the workers and peasants of Russia are con
fronted by a thousand difficulties. These difficulties stand across the path which leads to tie
re-construction of a new life, of a life wherein there is neither loandlord nor Capital. They are
immeasurably vast. Hunger, cold, a crying need of all the necessities of mankind.
Famine in the Cis-Yolga government has added still further to the indigent condition of the
workers of Russia. Nevertheless we are firm in the faith that capitalistic carrion will never
succeed in profiting by its thievish intentions with respect to the grievous situation of Soviet
Russia.
The Cis-Yolga famine has evoked a huge revolutionary revival in the labour classes, not only
in Russia but troughout the world.
The world’s proletariat is hurrying to the rescue of the Russian proletarian workers and
peasants. It vigilantly follows the crafty politics of the bourgeois bandits. It is ready at
the appointed hour to resist the spoliation now encroaching on the Workmen’s and Peasants’
Russia.
It is quite probable there will be an attempt at an attack from the direction of the Western
European bourgeoisie. Yet we have no doubt that this attempt will end as scores of others have.
A Congress of Black Slaves.
Petrograd, 13th .—Negro delegates from all over the world and numbering 15,000 have
gathered at New York. They organized a grandiose demonstration with banners and placards.
Their war cry was “ Africa for the Negros.” After the demonstration a Negro Congress was
inaugurated.
Unto the Last Thread.
Potrograd, 12th .—In accordance with a resolution by a Commission of the Mies Germany
must surrender to the powers of the Entente in the course of the next six months 130,000 sheep,
30,000 horses, and 175,000 horned cattle.
Germany again in a Ferment.
Moscow, 15th .—In Berlin the employes in timber and forest industries are on strike. In the
town of Tanle (?) the majority of metal workers have decided to down tools. In Bremen the
strike in Government factories continues.
Milivkov on help to the starving.
Moscow 18th .—We are informed from Christiania that Miliukov in the course of a con
versation with our correspondent stated that the group at the head of the Cadets’ Foreign Part}
is collecting money, wheat, and medicaments for despatch to Russia, either through a foreign
organization or on the basis of an immediate agreement with the Soviet Government.
Weapons jor the Blind.
