LENINE MEETS OPPOSITION BY
 RADICAL SOCIALISTS

Nicolai Lenine's attempt to rule and unite the Socialists of the world and control their policies through the operations of the Third Information ale of Moscow is to be contested by the central party, or faction, of So- cialists. This party occupies a middle position between the extreme right, or moderate faction, of Socialists and the extreme left, or radical faction. It was in order to organize their forces into a Fourth Internationale that meeting of the Centrist Social ists of the world has been called in Vienna on February g next.
 The center Socialists are dissatis- fled with both the Second Information. ale and the Third Internationale of Lenine, leaders of that faction say. Joseph Gollomb, who claims to have represented the Socialist party of America at meeting in Berne, Switz- erland, December 5, which called a meeting at Vienna next Feb ruary to form the proposed Fourth Internationale, declares that the Socialists of the world have become impatient at the conduct of Lenine's Third Internationale of Mos cow The Russian organization, he declares, '"is devoting itself chifly to splitting the forces of Socialism and of the workers"
 Dominited by the chiefs Ofthe Com munist party of Russia, Gollomb al leges, the Third Internationale is trying to force on other countries a program, temper and tactics which whether good for Russia or not, takes no account of differences of condi- tions throughout the world. Those So- Cialists who do not accept to the let ter their ukases are denounced as traitors. The third Internationale is splitting Socialist parties in every country, discarding whole masses of workers whose fidelity to Socialism has been proved and, by dividing the trade union movement, sows hatred between worker and worker"
 Gollomb contends that both the Second Internationale which existed before the world war and the Third In- ternationale are mainly negative in character and effect" The members of the Second Internationale, he says, have so limited, compromised and forgotten the principles of Socialism that there is nothing left of them. As the conference at Berne pointed out, they abandoned the workers during the war and, by participating in capi- talist cabinets and coalitions, they have bent all their energies toward patching the present system instead of building new one.
 Socialists want an adequate inter- national organization to marshal all their forces and to carry out a posi- tive upbuilding program. At present there Is no satisfactory organization"
 Gollomb declares that funadmental- ly, Socialism is a constructive move ment and that the negative attitude of the Second and Third Internation- ale, does not meet their needs today and the result has been general dis satisfaction with both of them. He asserts that more than 8,50O,O00 vot. ing Socialists were represented at the Berne conference which has called the meeting in Vienna and that most of the delegates at Berne have been rep reprentative figures in international Socialism for years.
 The delegates of the Socialist party of America were delayed in arriving, but Gollomb says the party had de- oiared itself officially in favor of the action taken at Berne. The German independents were represented by Ledebour, Crispien and others while Jean Longuet and Paul Faure repre. sented the Socialists of France. so- eialists of Austria and Switzerland also were represented at Berne.
 '"The possible formation of Fourth hternationale is matter for the Vienna congress to decide" adds Col
