THE good impression created in the
| minds Of the British fraternal
delegates to the Russian Trade Union
Congress is causing havoc in the
ranks Of the second tnternationalists
What makes the yellow leaders
angrier than anything else reported
by the trade union leaders is their
statement on Georgia, the pet buga-
boo Of the yellow socialists. The
trade union leaders found the people
Of Georgia happy and smiling and
blamed the socialists for the recent
revolt OF bandits and czarists in that
country.
MT q recent meeting Of the Bureau
~ OF the Labor and Socialist Inter-
national, M. vandervelde. his Belgian
majesty's former socialist minister,
attacked the delegates sent by the
general council of the British Trade
Union Congress to Russia. He de-
nounced them for publishing eulogistic
articles on Soviet Russia in the Com
munist press and for having given the
Soviet regime clean bill Of health
for its conduct in Georgia. He re-
Quested the bureau to discuss the
conduct OF the British delegates. but
Johaux of France and Tom Shaw Of
England thought otherwise. There
was no discussion.
THE diplomatic correspondent Of
| the London Daily Herald writes
that prior to the recent Paris confer
ence on Preparations, it was rumoreG
that Britain and the United States
were considering giving France re-
markedly easy terms on payment OF
her debts to both countries. Churchill
was the British mouthpiece while
Hughes spoke for Wall Street. The
terms were al follows: a ten year
moratorium; 90 years in which to pay
the debts with nominal interest
payment during that period OF / per
cent In return for this concession
France was to join England and the.
United States in an anti-Soviet bloc
Evidently the plan did not go thru
but Hughes is.

a few days ago, in which he stated
that the labor government made it
quite clear to the Hindoos that 1t
would not stand for any policy OF
threats or intimidation on the part Of
Hindoo nationalist or revolutionary
organizations. The noble labor lord
used the same kind Of language en-
ployed by Lord Curzon. the tory. The
subject peoples Of Great Britain can
expect no salvation from. the British
labor party. Only when the British
workers follow the leadership OF the
Communists will the slaves of the
robber empire be freed But the
colonial peoples must not wait for
others to strike the blow.

He stayed with the animals for twenty
minutes but they did not touch him.
This is the only true story that has
appeared in the capitalist press from
Italy for several days That is not
saying much for the rest Perhaps
the Italian lions are fastidious and
particular about their diet. Or perhaps
hey are vegetarians.
