This pamphlet, compiled and edited by the co-workers of Moissaye J. Olgin on the Morning Freiheit, is published in tribute to a beloved and great Communist leader. It is impossible, within the scope of this short pamphlet, to do justice to the depth and wealth of his writings. Assembled here are but a few representative articles in English from his daily column in the Morning Freiheit, together with his last speech, delivered in Madison Square Garden, on November 13, 1939, on the occasion of the twenty-second anniversary of the Soviet Union.
