The “world moves. The trains of destiny are rolling. In all capital- ist countries the time has' come for the working class to board trains bound for socialist sta- : tions. Some workers do not yet see the necessity of boarding a train. ' They hold back, beguiled by the ruling class into believing that one does not have to move with _the times. Some of the more con- _ fused workers even get on cap- italist trains which run _ back- Wards into the morass of fas- cism, (The ex-servicemen who broke up a Paul Robeson concert last . week were tricked into boarding such a train.)

In the working out of this tre- mendous process, the present per- iod is an era of vast mass strug- gles, of wars, and of revolutions. Very probably socialism has al- ‘ready become the most powerful of the two rival systems. “This job will not take so much longer; is is not a task of the dim ‘and distant future.
