Center of Operations Changed
Leon Trotzky, Bolshevik Minister al

fered a setback so far as western
Europe was concerned, Trotzky urged
redoubling of efforts in spreading
revolutionary propaganda, and hinted
that special forces must be kept at
work in Asia.
According to wireless report from
Moscow published in Novy Mir, official
Bolshevik organ in Berlin, Trotzky
gave the congress the following re-
sumo Of the international situation:
"The Congress Of the Third Interna-
tionale assemblies under conditions not
characterized by that clarity Of the
international situation which marked
the period Immediately following the
conclusion Of the war The war was
followed by series Of revolutionary
movements which brought the Russian
proletariat toward victory and gave it
the opportunity to retain the power it
had won. In other countries the move

Russia and the incomplete revolutions
in Germany and Austria were in vain.

for by the bourgeoisie, then the bour-
geoisie will again regain full and un-
controlled power. The task of the
Third Internationale is to revive the
proletariat's resoluteness and firmness
in the conflict against world capitalism.
This problem, when considered,
now on an international scale, is not
as easy as it appeared two years ago.
The backward sections of the proleta,
riat are evincing greater impatience
than intelligent revolutionary con-
sciousness, while the experienced sec
tions of the working class everywhere
are following careful policy, almost
ultra conservative in its character.
We must extend and deepen our reyo-
lutionary propaganda and fill not only
the West but also the East with revo-
lutionary fervor, especially the
colonies, upon which world capitalism
