Kamenev said that apparently his
tory wished it that the congress of
the revolutionary Communist forces
of the whole world should assemble in
the capital of that despotic empire
which had exercised it's rule for many
hundreds of years over Europe and
Asia and where the Russian prole-
tariat now celebrated the fourth ami
versary of it's liberation. 1875 million
workers and peasants are now united
in the sign of the hammer and cycle.
We have at last dropped the flint
from our hands to grip the hammer
and we will show that Soviet Russia
knows the way to regulate its econ
omic life. Now that we are passing
over to peaceful work the congress
| of the Communist international takes

The oldest Communist of Germany,
one of the participants Of the Zim-
merwald conference, Froehlich, greet
ed Soviet Russia as the fortress Of
the world revolution. The German
Communists hope that this congress
will stride forward in the line that
was set by the second congress of the
Communist International. Communism
has been able to free itself from it's
right wing who show more and more
that it has gone over to the side Of
the traitors of the working class. The
German Communist Party is prepared
to fight until the last victory is won.
Let the social patriots increase the
number of their extraordinary courts
as much as they wish the eyes of the
proletariat are opened and they are
flocking to the banner of Commun-
ism.
j Greeting the congress in the name
of the Italian Communist Party Gen.
mari recalled that the Italian Social
lists at the head Of whom stands Ser
rati were present at the last congress.
This time Serrati is not here. He has
betrayed the world revolution and the
Third international. The Italian pro-
letariat Furnishes him with it's scom
| and counts him among its enemies.
Among the workers Of Italy there are
backward elements who require the
authority of the third congress, who
will be helped by its decisions to find
their way and who will be moved by
it to fulfill their duties to the inter-
national Communist movement.
i Tomassi, the secretary of the French
\ Trade Union Council said that the
last year were sad ones for the French
trade union movement. The leaders OF
the trade unions had pursued a policy
of treachery to the workers. The
workers have now awakened to the

grasped that with those who let paid
