Antartic explorer. Dr. Taylor said

“Hurricanes blow for weeks in the
Antartic and can spring up in half
an hour from nothing to 60 miles
an hour. I do not think It pos­

definitely and it can not descend."
Dr. Taylor is skeptical as to the
mineral wealth of the Antartic. for

Communism does not propose to ‘capture’ the bourgeois« parliamentary
state, but to conquer and destroy it As long as th« bourgeois« stalo prevails,
the capitalist class can baffle th« will of the proletariat
In those countries In which historical development has furnished th«
opportunity, the working class has utilised th« regime of political democracy
for Its organisation against Capitalism
The older unionism was based on th« craft divisions of small Industry.
The unions consisted primarily of skilled workers whose skill la itself a form
of property The unions were not organs of the militant class struggle. To­
day the domlnnnt unionism Is actually a bulwark of Capitalism, merging In
Imperialism and accepting State Capitalism.
The proletarian revolution comes at the moment of crisis In Capitalism,
of a collapse of the old order. Under the Impulse of the crisis, th« proletariat
acts for the conquest of power, by means of mass action. Mass action concen­
trates and mobilizes the forces of the proletariat, organised and unorganlaad:
It acts equally against the bourgeois state nnd the conservative orgnnlxntlons
of the working class. Strikes of protest develop Into general political strikes
and then Into revolutionary mass action for the conquest of the power of (he
state. Mass action becomes political In purpose while extra parliamentary In
form: It Is equally a process of revolution nnd the revolution Itself tn operation
The Communist Party Is th« conscious expression of the class struggle of
the workers against capitalism. Its alm Is to direct (his struggle to the con
queat of political power, the overthrow of'capitalism nnd the destruction of MAKE PROFIT FROM POULTRY

The Communist Party prepares Itself for the revolution In the measure Ns Reason Why Moro Farmers Cannet

The Communist Party ts fundamentally a party of action. It brings to
th« workers a consciousness of their oppression, of the Impossibility of Im ■tti nda rd-bred poultry, exhibiting the
