THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2nd CONGRESS OF THE srd COM

One representative from each national
delegation is to enter the committees, and
the Communist Labor Party of America will
enter conformity with the American Com
munist Party.
The announcement OF this fact is loudly
applauded by the Congress. The composition
of the credentials committee is announced:
Bukharin, Radek, Rudniansky, Serrati, Bom-
bacci, and Rosner.
Zinoviev's Report.
Then Comrade Zinoviev is given the floor
and reports on the work of the committee
to discuss the role Of Communist Party in
proletarian revolution. Representatives of
eight countries participate in this committee:
England, Hungary, Germany, Holland, ITALY,
Russia, the United States of America and
France
Among these were also revolutionary Syn
dicalists and representatives of the English
organization, l. w. w. Nevertheless, the
theses were adopted by the committee unan
imously. Having announced this last fact
in the midst of loud applause, Conlrade I'll
noviev proceeds to outline the substance of
the debates in the committee giving an ana
lysis of the objections to the principles Of
centraism which were made in the COM
mittee and in open sitting:
"Where there is, as for example in France,
such weak bond between separate organ-
cations and the revolutionary proletariat-
for in France one speaks of the Party-the
Communist Party must be united and must
be centralized, both on an international scale
and with respect to its national subdivisions,
which are in substance, for example, the
national parties of Russia, America, ETC.
"The need ola strong world unity of the
proletariat is too evident to allow discussion
Of any kind of autonomy.
Autonomy should mean, first of all, that
the wora1men Of all countries remember con-
stanty that the enemy for each one of them
is at home, and that this enemy is the bour-
geoisie and the White Socialists.
GAS for the revolutionary Syndicalists, as
we'll as the representatives of shop-stewards,
we shall not follow the example Of the II
International, which always harrassed and
prosecuted all workmen who were not in
agreement with it's ideas.
< "We shall work in conjunction with all
honest and honestly, misguided Workmen,
and together with them we shall learn an8
make mistakes, because fundamentally, inn
our class aims and ideals, we represent with
them a single proletarian revolutionary
whole"
The theses are adopted unanimously

The following agenda of the Congress are
adopted: ID Role and structure of Com

unions and factory-mill committee; (3)
questions of parliamentarism (4 national
and colonial questions; (5) the agrarian

FIRST BUSINESS SITTING OF THE CON-
RESS-CONTINUED.
In the debates on the report of Comrade
Zinoviev on the role and structure of a Com
munist Party before and after the taking
over of power by the proletariat, Comrades
! Lenin and Trotzky speak for the Russian
delegation.
SPEECH OF LENIN.
Comrade Lenin in the main answers
Comrades MacLean and Ramsay He admits
that in capitalistic countries the Communist
Party can not be majority in the prole-
tariat.
"It is in fact the conscious, energetic
minority, and Communist minority should
not helplessly drag along behind back
ward majority of the proletariat. 1t must
lead the latter, organize it, and direct it
toward Communist ideals"
In exactly the same way Lenin protests
against the supposition that the peculiar
situation of the English labor movement
requires that the decision as to the line
of conduct of the British Socialist Party
should be left to the latters free judgment
Lenin does not understand why in such a
case this Congress and this international are
necessary
"Such tactics should be considered one of
the worst traditions left by the activity Of
the II International The End Congress Of
the III International will, of course, act
differently and will discuss in detail in the
proper committee all these conditions of
the English labor movement and the tasks
resulting therefrom.
'The experience of the Russian, Hun
garian, and other Communist Parties has
confirmed with sufficient clearness and force
that the policy and tactics of national par

SECOND BUSINESS SITTING.
(By telephone from Moscow.)
Organization of Committees.

The second business sitting Of the Con-
gress of the Communist International begins
with the adoption of the proposal OF the
presiding body to form five committees to
discuss the most important points OF the
program of the work of the Congress.
( The following extract is taken from the full
text of the speech by Zinoviev on this occasion as
given in special supplement of the Moscow Prav-
da, August 8, 1920:
sometimes you hear certain comrades say: 'oh,
yes, perhaps now, in fact, we still need party SO
long as we continue to live under bourgeois order,
so long as we have not seized the power in our
own hands. But just as soon as we secure VIC
tory the party will no longer be necessary
talked with good German workmen, Communists,
on this point and heard these words from then
and allow myself to refer in this instance to the
experience of the Russian party. 1t was precisely
after the seizure Of power by the party, and the
formation of our government, that the role OF the
party not only did not decrease, but increased and
grew daily Never was the Importance of the party
in Russia so great as it is at the present moment
after our victory. In all important questions and
decisions the effective control of the party is abso
lutely necessary.
"It is true that sometimes people like Kautsky
say you have in Russia dictatorship not of the
working class, but dictatorship Of party They
think that this is a reproach for us. Not at all
We have dictatorship of the working class, and
consequently also dictatorship of the Communist
Party. The dictatorship Of the Communist Party
is simply function, a sign of the expression Of
the dictatorship Of the working class Just what is
our party? One should not confuse it with other
parties that are composed of lawyers. Into our
party enter 600,0OO-7OO,000 Of the best workmen;
that is the advanced detachment Of the proletariat
And it is clear that the business of the working
class is being conducted by its best representatives
Thus there is established simultaneously Dictator
ship of both proletariat and Communist Party. The
right Of control various organizations belongs
to the party. That is as it should be in time of
proletaran revolution. After the victory the role
of the party does not decrease but on the contrary
increases"

unions? Of course, not there 1t is true, we
have Soviet of Peoples Commissaries, but
the Soviet, of Peoples Conmissaries also re-
quires political control and definite political
direction. We shall give it this political di-
rection on the basis of the work of the party
and the political control can be carried out
only by the Communist Party

THREE-PIECE COSTUME IS LIKED
Feminine Daintiness About Outfit
That Will Win Endorsement of
Fashion Leaders.

One Of the most interesting modes
is revealed in the three-piece costume.
No longer need one feel i'll at ease
when she removes her coat or cape,
for beneath its folds is concealed a
charming creation which is very diff
ferent from the skirt and waist that
has often initiated against the use Of
the tailored suit. OF course the latter
has its dev0tees as well as its particu-
lar uses, which are most admirable.
However. there is a feminine dainti-
ness about the three-piece costume
that will, undoubtedly, win the in
dorsement of many leaders of fashion
as the season advances.
In such creations, wonderful fabrics
are combined and many of them are
exceedingly beautiful. Those for the
waists are often daZZlingly brilliant,
while extreme richness marks the cape
or coat that accompanies such an
origination.
Of course, on the other hand, Ger
tain models are distinguished by great
simplicity, for these costumes are des-
tined to be worn on many and divers
occasions. Such a one may be cut
from fine navy gabardine. The long
coat is perfectly plain and Is fash
ioned on the favored lines of the
mandarin. 1t is lined with black satin,
which is revealed when the fronts fall
apart, and this may also be glimpsed
at the collar band. The bodice is Of
black satin with wide sleeves, while
the skirt is plain. Such costume is
appropriate for both street or restau-

clothes. HOnors are about evenly diyid-
ed between the two, according to Il Paris
fashion correspondent. Perhaps the
sleeve has been more talked of than
the girdle because the majority of the
new girdes are so elaborate and so
costly that the woman who is averse
TO plunging into heavy expenditure on
clothing feels that she can exist with
out one of these girdles, whereas
sleeves she must have
But, as the season is still young, it
is likely that less expensive copies of
these costly affairs will be made and
that these will be seen on the less
exclusive frocks. At present all of
the firms showing exclusive models
are putting great stress on girdles.
These are, without doubt, a very i'm
portant part of the costume, and, al
though elaborate, they suggest many
simpler ways of girdling dresses. The
addition of a new girdle is an excel
lent means Of rejuvenating a last
years frock.
1t may safely be said that girdles
never have been more important than
they are in the present fashions. Paris
dressmakers have united on this fea-
ture. Every dress and every suit car

Models of Ancient Inspiration.
AS the new dresses are Renaissance
in style, so also are the girdles. Many
of them are developed in perforated
metal, and the Paris dressmaker gets
no less than $50 for one of these
nickel or steel girdles. The former
are sometimes silver washed, all beau
tifully worked in perforated designs
after the style of metal workers of
that period.
One will recall that starting in
about the Seventh century the gold
smiths trade began to develop in an
interesting way and their work plays
an important part in the art history
of both France and Italy, eliminating,
as it We're, in the elaborate bronze
decorations of the Empire period.
A remarkable thing about the per-
forated metal girdles is that they are
used on even the most dressy cos
tunes. Lanvin uses them on white
satin dresses, on dresses of colOred
velvet and on tailored suits. In the
latter instance they are straight
around the figure and of even width
Those for evening dresses have the
ornaments across the front shaped
like breastplates. In fact, many of
the ideas are taken from the armOr of
the Renaissance period. One might
wonder in looking at them if they
have been brought out to take the
place of the corset.
On Day and Evening Dresses.
1t will also be recalled that the
first cOrsets were worn on the out
side of the dress and not underneath.
These perforated girdles with broad
ornaments at the front take care of
the natural fullness of the figure just
over the stomach.

they should feel fiattered if a King

New Fabric Has Lacquered Surface
but Is Much Heavier Than
WelI-KnoWn Cire.

The newest and smartest effect in
the cired materials is bagatelle satin,
the bulletin of the Retail Millinery
Association of America says. Just at
present it is said to be very hard to
keep in stock in the black and negre
brown shades. The bulletin continues:
This new satin has IA lacquered
surface, but it is very much heavier
than the well-known cire satin. Its
surface also carries much higher
sheen than the latter. MirrOr-like in
effect. the new satin Is still sufficient
ly pliable to allow charmngly soft

kindly to creasing.
