gresseS and conferences Of the com munist international.
 Two Are Interlockcd.
 Aside from this interlocking. Sen ator Lodge asserted that ihc intcrde- pendence of the Soviet government and the communist international manifests itself in many other ways; that the proceedings of the commit mist international, it's proclamations and propaganda appear in tn" official organs of the Soviet government; that the use of the Russian wireless and telegraph has been granted 10 the communist international and that meetings of the congresses of the in- ternational and of the executive com mittee arc held in governmental buildings.
 Documentary evidence also was produced to show that tho com munlst international is. the creation of the Russian communist party, which was declared to be the con- trolling force throughout tho Rus sian government.

Everything that has been done by any one of the three af . --the federation of Soviet republics the Russian Soviet republic and the communist party. and the greatest Of these is the communist party-has been done by the government Of Rus sia. There is no escaping that fact.
 Those In Control
 ''T think I have shown who the men are who control all these organizations and who control Russia and who are the real government of Russia Their names arc practically summarized in the political bureau of the Russian communist party 1t is a very formid- able and highly organized system Of government-arbitray interruptions and efficient"
 Asserting that he could go on al- most indefinitely in giving examples of their work and their intention in re- gard to other countries the speaker said he would content himself with a few examples, first, as to their general intentions and activities in countries other than the United States and, sec ond. with few examples Of their in- tentions and activities in the United States.
 Reads Trotzky's Letter As an example Of the latter, he read from a letter written by Trotzky ito an American communist" Mackay. a negro. which was published in the Moscow Izvesta on February 15, 1923. l It said in part: ''The training Of black agitstors is ! the most important revolutionary problem of the moment xxx am 1 at loss 10 say what are the most ex-
