The communication was made i reply to 12 questions sent to th Moscow intemationale by the indt pendent labor party. 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."

II is .then possible the rev6lutionar> proletariat of Europe will arise ir union with the principles of the east and commence a revolutionary strug' gle, the scene of which will be the entire world, to deal the final blow at British and American capitalists." James Itamsay McDonald, one of the leaders of the independent labor party, commenting on the document from Moscow, writes: "Before the independent labor party can join the third internation aie it must cease to be an independent labor party. The independent labor , party and the third international ai*e oil and water and won't mix. AIRSHIP PASSES OVER There is something about an airship that compells everybody to look up.

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.
