The book deals with modern developments in philosophy, with capitalism today and its features, with problems of na- tionalization under capitalism and under Socialism, with working-class unity. It covers peaceful co-exist- ence and the fight for peace, trends in the national libera- tion.movement and the newly liberated countries, different forms of transition to Social- ism. and transition to Com- munism. gases Many key problems, both of theory and immediate practice, are dealt-with.

In his beautiful and stirring song The Foggy Dew, the Reverend Patrick O’Neale en- shrined the Easter Week rebels for all time: “But the bravest fell and the requiem bell range mcurn- fully and clear For those who died that Easter- tide in the springtime of the year, While the world did gaze with deep amaze, at those fear- less men but few, Who bore the fight that Free- dom’s light might shine through the foggy dew.” Among those “fearless men but few” the immortal name of James Connolly, Irish revolu- tionary, patriot and martyr, done to death with many of his comrades by the hirelings of a ruthless British imperialism. O’Hanrahan, O’Reilly, Heus- ton, Colbert, McBride, Ceannt, Pearce; their names are legion. stretching from the days of Wolf Tone and the British rack-rent extortionists to the gallows of Easter Week, and the prisons of today’s North- ern Ireland where fighters for Irish freedom still rot and die. In paying tribute to Ire- land’s beloved rebel.and mar- tyr James Connolly and the men executed with him on that historic Easter -Week, whose. hearts’ blood -still “stains the Easter. lilies’’- of Ireland, the struggle for Irish freedom ‘against .- the. back-. ground of. this era,. with its world-wide. colonial. struggles to. break the chains of imper ialist. exploitation..and rule, assumes a new. significence. Unfettered by altruistic prin- ciples, the . policy-makers of. British imperialism never hesi- tated. to utilize every. false- hood, ‘every crime, every. di visive ruse, be it - religious, racial or caste, to tighter its grip by ‘‘divide and . rule’. technique. «9 seine “Thus scarcely a- week. after, it “legally” .murdered.. James Connolly and his Irish..com- patriots, it enacted its “‘Parti- tion Bill” to -divide Ireland into two separate states. This despite the fact that two years before “partition,” the British parliament. moved bya. united Ireland for ‘Home Rule,” had voted by a-large majority for just such a bill. But the im- perialist. jackals, ~ fresh _ from valiant son of the Irish people,! their slaughter of Irish patriots, abrogated the will of Parliament and gave Ireland “partition” instead, backed by the terror of the notezcious “Black and Tans” and: snecial “Trish Constabulary,” unleash- ed upon the Irish countryside. It wasn’t accidental or mere- ly a whim of John Diefenbaker that. he visited Ireland enroute to the Commonwealth ccnfer- ence, to give voice to some fine Diefenbaker demagogy about the “great contribution” of the Irish in the building of Can- ada. Behind Dief’s ardor and fine words, reminiscent of a slick young: blade wooing an Trish colleen, was the more pressing problem of much- needed additions to the declin ing Commonwealth “family.” The British Noble Lord Pakenham, never famous for his devotion to the cause of Irish freedom, gave the game away in a recent edition of the London Observer. Noting the changes which have taken place in the. Commonwealth “family” in recent times, with quite an influx from Asian- African countries, the noble lord sees no good reason why “prosperous” Ireland (‘‘pros- perous” from British trade) should not join the “family,” since “no economic changes would necessarily follow, nor any military ones immediate- ly” (emphasis ours). Lauding Ireland for ‘her re- sponse to the call of the United Nations for effort and sacrifice . « . his lordship sees in an Ireland back in the Common- wealth “club,” a potential club ~ for imposing a new colonial.’ ism Upon peoples and nations in revolt against the old, ag for example the imperialist- partitioned ‘Republic of the Congo. : An Irish “chore boy” for a decadent imperialism with which history has “caught up.” During Easter Week as Ire- land’s sons and daughters salute the memory of James Connolly and those who died with him, the freedom-loving peoples of the whole world join in this salute to a great Trish republican, socialist, and fearless leader.
