GERMAN COMMUNISTS
MODERATE PROGRAM
Ask MoscoU to Try to Obtain
Cooperation of Labor.

Special Cabis to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921. By THE NEW YoaK HERALD.

Berlin Dec. 23.
Communism after the Moscow pattern
as a meeting point for the world prole-
tarat. has been abandoned by the Ger
man Communist party, which has just
voted to ask the Third (Moscow) Inter-
rationale to try to bring about coopera-
ton with the non-Communst labor
organizations Cor a greatly moderated
program. While this Is attributed in
part TO the dwindllng prestige of the
Communist party in Germany and an
attempt by 1t to retain it's following, it
lr also regarded as consequence of the
action by the Russian Soviet leaders In
reintroducing cabalistic methods in
Russia.
One of the surest results of the new
economic policy in Russia, II is predicted
here, will be the collapse of the Com
munist (Third) Internationale, and.
therefore, of the Bolshevist campaign
for a world revolution. For without a
continuation of the Communist expert
ment by Russia herself the chief mo-
tive power back of the Third Interna-
tionale would vanish.
The annihilation OF the radical labor
to Moscow's tactics. This began when
the Independent Socialists were driven
out Of the Third Internationale because
they refused TO give the Moscow leaders
the right to dictate the German policy.
The effect OF this action was the estab-
lishment here of an outright Moscow
party which. although strong in num-
bers, greatly declined until last spring
when, on orders from Moscow. the
March uprising was instigated. This
ended in the blowing up OF few public
buildings and fghting at scattered
points and a moral defeat, which left
the German Communist party in two
groups.
Not long afterward the Right wing
leaders were forced out of power. but
those of the Left wing still remain at
the helm.
Although Lenine, Karl Radek and
other Soviet chieftains were against tho
March uprising in Germany. IL was or
dercd, Il Is now known. by Bela Kun
one OF the leading officials Of the Third
Internationale.
Tho German Communist party is now
trying to regain its hold OH the labor
movement in this country and suggests
the departure from Communism and the
organization of world labor union. II
has evolved programme containing six
points, as follows:
Cancellation of international war
debts; the prevention Of armaments
the prevention OF impcrialistic measures
which II asserts are forced by France
such as the occupation OF the Ruhr
basin and the starvation of Austria
recognition of the Soviet Government oi
Russia; the granting OF credits for tho
relief of hunger in and the reconstruc-
| tion of Russia, and an international
agreement for an eight hour working
| day.
The party wants all internationales
including those of Amsterdam and Lon.
| don, invited to unite on this basis

OUAKERS FIRST TO AID
RUSSIA; NO AK TO GRIND
Society of Friends Praised at
Town Hall Meeting.

Tho Rev. Karl Reiland. rector of st.
Georges Episcopal Church, speaking last
night at meeting held at Town Hall by
the Russian Famine Fund. praised the
work which the Quakers have done in re-
lieving famine in Russia.
"The Quakers," he said. were the
first relief agency to go into Russia
They went there when others were un-
willing or afraid to go. and they went
with no AK to grind, but simply in pur-
suance OF their principle to be OF service
to humanity. Consequently they enjoyed
the complete confidence of all parties
and every shade of religious and political
opinion both In Russia and this country"
