LEAGUE IS AIDING WORLD REVOLUTION,
 LEVINE DECLARES
Internationale Calls Upon Workers of World to Join In Economic Blockade
 Against Poland
By AssocIated Pres,

Moscow, July 2l.--Nikolai Lenine. the soviet premier speaking at the opening session of the third internationale Mon- day, stated that the worlds economic crisis and the failure of the League or Nations to reconcile and unite the inter ests of capitalistic governments were the : most important factors promoting sshe aims of the thirG internationale, one of which was to consolidate and organize world revolution. After Lenine's address, in which he charged, among other things. that the entire capitalistic system of the world was threatened with collapse and that the League of Nations contributed, the internationale adopted a resolution calling on the workers of all nations to institute an economic blockade of Poland.
 Lenine po.nted out that even in coun- tries where there were the most favorable conditions, such as America Japan and l-ngland. the increase in the cost of hv- lug was disproportiona.e to tic rise Ill wages, and declared that those who bene- fted in all countries were an infinitely small proportion of the population
 The collapse of the entire capitalistlc system wsN threatened, Lenine saio, 
 debts without involving many countries in economic ruin, and because of the hopelesSness of reconstruction under capitalistic regime. English economists such as Kent he declared, had already advanced the idea that ar-nuiment of war debts wa. necessary for the re-estan- lishr1ent of international credit.
 RIPE FOR REVOLUTION
 The deportation of 800 communists from America would not help the capitalistic regime, while need among the laborlnS classes was increasing and capitalists were continuing to enrich themselves al the expense of the workers, the premier continued. The working masses were ripe for broad revolutionary movement, and the task of this internationale was to consolidate and organize world revo- 1utions, he said.
 The League of Nations, prey to inter- national dissensions, had furnished no protection to small nationaliities, he as serted, and the imperialistic governments, in pursuance of selfish interests, were placing the defeated nations in the post tion of colonies. Lenine cited the differ ences that had arisen with regard to the fate of Turkey. Thus, he said the ac- tivities of the League of Nations had a facilitated the work of the communist internatonale.
 The premier pointed to the representa- tion in the internationale for the first time of colonies, dependencies and ''op- pressed nations which he declared was significant. Experience was proving. he added. that non-captalstic countries such as those of Asia. were fertile fields for soviet doctrines.
 Regarding internal organization Lenine asserted that the social democrats were the most serious obstacle to the develop ment of revolutionary power as means or service to all countries, as it had been shown they were the enemies CT the working class and defenders of the bourgeoise It would be an easier task, he said, to unify the left wing of the socialist movement and rectify mistakes in the proletariat campaign by the adop- tion of a programme of united action.
