RIGA, June 20 Gay The Associated
Press) ).-There has been a sharp diver
gence of opinion exhibited at the early
meetings of the Third mternationale
at Moscow concerning the question OF
tactics to bring about world revou-
ton, according to independent advices
from Moscow received here.
Little or no actual progress had been
made up to Sunday, which was the sec
cnd day of the actual sessions, for the
settlement of this question. The re-
ports say majority of the delegates
brought to Moscow glowing pictures of
revolutionary movements in Germany,
france, Italy, England and elsewhere,
calculated to raise the spirits of the
Moscow revolutionists to the heights of
enthusiasm. The advices assert, how
ever, that the conditions in Russia due
to alleged radical activities served to
curb any violent spirit on the part Of
the delegates.
Trotzky Led Parade
Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik Minister
of War, who for weeks had been silent
on Russian affairs, is declared to be
greatly in the limelight at the meeting
Of the intetrationale At the opening Of
the celebrations Trotzky led the parade
of troops. In the procession were huge
cardboard eftigies representing David
Lloyd George, the British Prime Min
lster; Aristide BRAND, the French Pre-
mier, and other personages of the
Allied powers. These etfigies were
greeted with jecrs.
Trotzky, in speech to the women
Communists, said the object of the In
ternationale was to give necessary
firmness to the widely varying groups
Of the proletariat Of the world in their
struggle against capitalism. He ad-
vlsed the women not to be "sisters
of mercy in this struggle, but direct
participants on the revolutionary
front"
Assistance Is Protested
M. Tchitcherin, the Bolshevik Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, has sent out
wireless message to the British For
eign Secretary protesting against what
he declares to be the intention of the
Council of the League of Nations to
render pecuniary assistance to the So
called Russian refugees. The message
this aid would be direct support of the
Russian counter revolutionaries and
contradictory to the spirit of the Brit
hRussian treaty.
Honors such as are usually accorded
to royalty were given the Dutch
steamer Alexander Polden when she
arrived at Petrograd, says the news
paper Izvestia, of Moscow The
steamer brought the first large cargo
of food that has entered the harbor
for about three years, and as she
passed Cronstadt she was saluted by
the battleship Marat, while Russian
sailors lined the decks and cheered
The Dutch captain dipped his colors
while the ships band played, and the
vessel steamed direct to the dock and
began to unload her cargo of herring.
With years of starvation at the back
Of them the workers at the dock by
day and night shifts, unloaded $3.50
barrels of the ships cargo so swiftly
that the next day twenty carloads of
herrings were dispatched to Moscow,
while the rest was left for distribution
IN Petrograd Only the day before the
ship arrived The Economic Life wrote
as follows about Petrograd:
THE fate of the city is so tragic
that no comparison can be found in the
worlds history. The immense mortal
ity Of Russia during the past few years
may be regarded as far more tragic
than the fall of Pompeii."
Since the Alexander Poden made
port two more steamers have arrive d
at Petrograd, carrying 1900 barrels
of herring, which were quickly un-
loaded
