 We declare our solidarity with the workers of Russia in establishing their soviet republic and we indorse the so Cialists of Germany, Austria and Hun gary in their struggle for freedom. We condemn the counter revolution in Russia backed by the czarists and the entente nations in an effort to destroy the Soviet republic. We approve in dustrial as well as political action in the struggle for the emancipation of the working class.
 I've condemn the League of Ma tions as the black international Of capitalism. It is the conscious alli- ance of the capitalists Of all nations against the workers of all nations.
 We declare that there will never be lasting peace until the world is composed of d federation of free and equal socialist nations.
 Recognizing the csCCial situation at nome and abroad. the ScclallSt party Of the United States at it's first national convention after the war, squarely takes it's position with the section of the inter national socialist movement.

BULGARIAN PEACE TREATY
 IS VIRTUALLY COMPLETED

Paris, Sept. 4 (By the A PO.=The Bulgarian peace treaty has been vir- tually completed. Apparently the problem concerning Thrace will be left unsolved. except that a commits sion will be named to study means for granting Bulgaria access to the Aegean sea.
 The question of giving Bulgaria the southern section of Dobrudja which is populated largely by Bulgarians, probably will not be mentioned in the treaty, because of the opposition of Rumania to giving up the territory. The American delegation favors the return of Dobrudja to Bulgaria. but in this they are virtually unsupported, as is the case with regard to Thrace.
