One of thes questions was: 'How does communism differ fror other forms qf socialism?" To this the following reply wa made: "There are no other forms. Ther is only communism. Whatever els goes under the name of socialism i either wilful deception by the lackey of the bourgeoise of self-delusion b; persons who hesitate to choose be tween the proletariat and the bour geoise." Another answer reads in part: "It is most likely the bourgeois' will surrender its power without > struggle. Therefore the workers o Great Britain should prepare, not fo an easy parliamentary victory, but fo victory by a heavy civil war."

I Mr. Balfour gave it as his opinioi (that the league was suffering fron two dangers?on the one hand, frorr those people said it was a useless creation, and on the other hand fron those who believe that in the league had been found a remedy for all international difficulties. If all the nations threw all their problems on it in these early days, before its objects had been ingrained in the people's mind, he asserted, the league could not function properly; it must be given time to develop. . Turning to the Aland Islands question, over which he said a clash had been averted by Finland and Sweden, referring the case to the league, Mr. Balfour cited it as instance of the real effectiveness of the league for peace. But, he declared, behind discussion in such a case there must be stronger sanction and these were contemplated by the league. "It would have been a fatal mistake had the allies forgotten the universal character of the body," he continued. "It is equally important that not only neutrals, but enemy states belong to it as well as the allies. Those \^ho fail to realize this fact miss the importance. of the whole movement.
