lists Expected to Accept

to Launch Revolution

HALLE, Germany, Oct. Is (By The
Associated Press) The conservative
minority of the Independent Socialists,
now in convention here, through Herr
Hilferding, editor of the Freiheit, to-
day served notice on the radicals, who
are pledged to union with the Rus
sian Communists, that compromise
with the Moscow Internationale is i'm
possible.
This decision was announced follow
! ing reports from the majority side that
the speech Thursday of NJ Zinovieff,
emissary of the Russian Soviet gov
ernment to the convention, had caused
the detection of number of Right
Wing members and there was 2 proha-
bllty that the entire independent So
ciallst party, with the exception of a
few of the more conservative leaders.
might ally itself with the Third Inter-
rationale.
The radicals declare that the entire
Right Wing delegation will march out
of the hall tomorrow morning when
the convention meets. The radicals
then expect to vote in favor of the
Moscow lnternationale and hold sec
ond conference, at which an attempt
Will be made to retain the party's name
and funds and its organ, the Freiheit.
Reds Promised Funds
For Four hours last night NJ. Zno-
Welt, who is one of the four big chiefs
OF Soviet Russia, pleaded with the In
dependent Socialists to JOIN with Mos
COW, create revolution in Germany and
help carry out the proletarian program
for a world revolution.
The Soviet representative also said
that the Russian Communists were not
only willing but were in position to
give the German proletariat financial
support.
Zinovietf declared the agrarian policy
of the Soviet was necessary because the
peasants would not be satisfied to work
the land solely for tie state He de-
Tended terrorism on the ground that it
had been necessary in the early stages
of the revolution. The speaker asserted
that the Balkans now were ready for
revolution, which later would be ex-
tended to Asia and America.
For Holy War on Capitalism
The speaker denied that the Boil
sheviki would use Germany to attack
France, but he declared that if the
Germans joined the Third Interna-
orders.
zinovief predicted that it would re-
quire generation to accomplish uni
versal realization of communism He
said the Asiatic nations also must be
modified "after being freed from much
religious tradition" for a holy war on
capitalism. He said the English prole-
tariat now were undergoing an evolu
tion Of world significance in that
double government was already in ex
istence there which meant eventual
death to the bourgeoisie.
Zinovieff declared that the bour-
geoisie were not entitled to any quar-
ter, as they would not hesitate to
slaughter hundreds of thousands more
of the worlds proletariat Zinovietf
said that every sentence of the Moscow
platform must not be taken literally
as unalterable gospel He invited the
convention to formulate conditions
which would facilitate regulations.
Statement Causes Outbreak
This statement precipitated another
outbreak among the delegates, who i'm
mediately engaged in lively debate
among themselves.
During the demonstration the Boil
shevik, young, smooth faced and slight
of build, leaned on his left elbow and
ran the thln hngers OF ms rlgnt hand
through his short, thick black hair and
smiled with apparent amusement. This
attitude infuriated his auditors, and it
was only with the greatest of difficulty
that the chairman after some minutes
was able to restore order. Zinovief
then resumed his speech and soon won
back the sympathy of the crowd.
Zinovietf devoted much of his time
to answering attacks by Herr Crispien
vice-charman of the Independent So
clalist party, and Wilhelm Dittmann,
Radical Socialist member of the Reichs-
tag, on the policy of the Soviet on
first-hand evidence of its operations
which they obtained during their visit
to Moscow with Herr Stocker and
fcontinued on next oaqel
