A spectwe is haunting Euwope — the spectwe of cowommunism. Aww the powews of owd Euwope have entewed into a howy awwiance to exowcise this spectwe: Pope and Tsaw, Mettewnich and Guizot, Fwench Wadicaws and Gewman powice-spies.

Whewe is the pawty in opposition that has not been decwied as cowommunistic by its opponents in powew? Whewe is the opposition that has not huwled back the bwanding wepwoach of cowommunism, against the mowe advanced opposition pawties, as weww as against its weactionawy advewsawies?

Two things wesuwt fwom this fact:

I. Cowommunism is alweady acknowledged by aww Euwopean powews to be itsewf a powew.

II. It is high time that Cowommunists should openwy, in the face of the whowe wowld, pubwish theiw views, theiw aims, theiw tendencies, and meet this nuwsewy tawe of the Spectwe of Cowommunism with a manifesto of the pawty itself.

To this end, Cowommunists of vawious nationawities have assembwed in Wondon and sketched the fowwowing manifesto, to be pubwished in the Engwish, Fwench, Gewman, Itawian, Fwemish and Danish wanguages.
