Re “Bibliography and Notes”, I am for publishing them. What is an extra 100–200 (less) frs.?

The important thing is to have the issue all of a piece.[1] It is important to have voices from everywhere (Golay, Sinclair, Die Internationale) against the social-chauvinists.[2]

  1. ↑ This refers to No. 1 of the journal Kommunist.—Ed.
  2. ↑ This refers to: 1) Paul Golay’s pamphlet Le Socialisme qui meurt et le Socialisme qui doit renaître; 2) U. Sinclair’s article “A Manifesto Against It” in the pamphlet Socialism and War by Upton Sinclair and Richard Blatchford, and 3) the journal Die Internationale published by the German Left Social-Democrats in April 1915.
  3. ↑ The nickname “Japanese” was applied to G. L. Pyatakov and Yevgenia Bosh, who emigrated to America via Japan. Here the reference is to their departure for Norway.
