workers OF Russia in establishing
their soviet republic and we indorse
the Socialists Of Germany, Austria and
hungary in their struggle for freedom.

Russia backed by the Czarists and the
Entente nations in an effort to destroy
the soviet republic. We approve in
the struggle for the emancipation of
the working class

as the black international of capital
ism. 1t is the conscious alliance 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 com
posed of federation of free and equal
Socialist nations.
Want Blockade Lifted
Recognizing the crucial situation at
of the United States, at its first ma
tional convention after the war,
squarely takes its position with the
uncompromising section Of the inter

other countries who remained stead

We demand the Immediate lifting of
the indefensible and inhumane block
ade of Russia.
"We urge the workers Of the United
States to do all in their power to re-
store and maintain our civil rights to
the end that the transition from capi-
talism to socialism may be effected
without resorting to the drastic meas
ures made necessary by autocratic des-
potism.

Still Another Party
Still another new political party was

Communist party 1t is patterned
after the Soviet Republic of Russia,

adopted are even more radical than
those of the Communist Labor party.
The Communist party is backed by
the foreign language group recently
expelled from the National Socialist
party. One provision of it's constitution
bars from its ranks all employers Of
labor, persons who gain their liveli-
hood by means of rents, interest and
profit, and all persons exclusively en-
gagged in professional occupations, in
Guiding journalists, lawyers and physi-
clans
This new party was formed after un-
successful efforts had been made to
unite the ultra-radical group with the
Communist Lavor party. Rose Pastor
Stokes announced she would Join the
Communist party.
The party plans to establish colleges
in every large city for the teaching
Of communism and to give correspond
ence courses to members unable to at
tend the colleges. An elaborate plan
for spreading the propaganda of the
party by means Of newspapers and
literature was adopted.
