 w. Z. Foster Is again identified in this document with the Soviet propa- ganda machine under Moscow direc- ton. International Labor News Ser vice already has shown Fosters direct connection with the Soviet propagan- da machine, but this is additional evi- dence of importance.
 The appeal just issued by the red labor international from Moscow is addressed specifically to members of
 the I. w. w. in the United States.
 Tn this appeal the executive commit tee of the red labor international chides the 1. w. w. representative, Bill Williams, for his expression of veiws at the first congress of the red labor international Thereupon the
 official viewpoint of the executive committee of the red international is set forth as follows:
 "We stand for the union of revolu- tionary elements with the masses of the labor organizations already exist ing. This would help the 1aboring front against their bloodthirsty en- emy-against American capitalism" < This is the most recent official Mos COW statement of the policy of "bor- ing from within, advocated by Fos~ lis set forth that the red labor inter national was organized abroad by trades, such as metal workers, textile workers, wood workers, etc, "in or der to avoid making the propaganda apparatus too unwieldly and eompli- cated, there being already g inter national secretariats abroad" It is stated that flor the purpose of in- tensifying propaganda special propa- ganda committees have been formed Fin connection with each trade.H The statement gives the list of those who participated in drawing up the regu- lations for the executive. committee governing world propaganda work. Posters name leads the list of four from the United States who partici- .pated on that committee.
 Perhaps the importance with which the Soviet officers view propaganda work in the United States may be judged from the fact that out of nine foreign representatives who we're members of the committee, four were from this country.
 In order to set forth without con- fusion. the method of working the statement deals only with organiza- ton work among metal workers and wood workers. Under these two head ings the official soviet explanation of aganda is as follows:
