THE chapter on finance occupies
l. nearly one-tenth of the whole re-
port and is the first ineligible state
ment of czarist and revolutionary
finance that has appeared in this
country. 1t opens with the state
ment:
The Russian national bankruptcy
was not, as is generally supposed,
consequences but rather cause Of
the revolution. The fiscal relation
ship Of czarism to the Russian tax
payer and It's financial relationship
to the foreign creditor had become
almost as bad as that which results
from similar recourse to money
lenders by oriental despotlsms of
Turkey, Egypt and Morocco. Gar
ism was approaching bankruptcy be-
fore the war, tho foreign credit
abroad was still maintained by for
eian financial groups who promoted
Russian loans and passed on the
liability to public ignorant Of the
political instability and financial un-
soundness Of the, empire. A process
which would in, Russia, as else
where, have ended before long in
the foreign creditor losing most Of
his investment and in the Russian
taxpayer being put under foreign
reeeivershlp to pay for the folly Of
his rulers.
This unsound position was accentu-
ated by currency imitation (as well
as addition loans) during the war by
which paper money was inflated from
1917 millions in 1914 to 16,403 mil
lions at the date of the revolution; by
which time the currency had been de-
preciated by nine-tenths. Russia be-
fore the revolution was not merely
bankrupt by its debts, but economical
ly paralyzed by currency depreciation.
With a revolution, things are bound
to be worse before they are better.
But apart from other factors, such as
imperialist war, interventionist war,
ETC., ETC., peculiar additional factor
in Soviet Russia was the attempt of
the rulers of Russia to destroy, not
only the influence Of money over the
social system, but also the institu-
ton of money.>itself! Under the per-
od of war Communism, from 1918 to
he beginning of 1921, an attempt was
made to reconstruct the national econ
omy as one great, cooperative asso-
cation of consumers and producers,
nd by doing away with free ex-
hange" to eliminate the use of money
nd substitute a system of bookkeep-
ag thru central clearing houses The
Jest means to end money appeared to
be to let it depreciate itself out of ex-
istence altogether. The new money
less mechanism, however. never got
to the point of functioning completely.

" Comrade Dombsky (Poland) hon
ors the memory of the dead Comrades
vladimirov, Atarbek6v, Miassnikov
and Mochilevsky; also that of Com
rade Marchlevsky who was one of the
first fighters for Communism in Ger

Upon motion of Comrade Semard,
the enlarged executive expresses its
sympathies to the c. P. R. and
C. P. P.
A delegation from a peasant village
from the Chomolev province presents
banner to the enlarged executive,
for which Comrade Semard thanks
the delegation in the name of the exc
cutive.
GREETED with storm Of applause,
~ and after the singing of the Inter
national, Comrade Zinoviev begins his
report:
The Report.
Leninism as the, Marxism Of today
shows us the way; but the question
of tempo and tactics of the proletar-
ian revolution can be answered only
by the experience of the revolution.
Experience teaches us that we must
treat the question Of speed and our
conception Of time very carefully
Even Marx and Lenin made mistakes
In this respect. AS to the direction
and the political geography of the
world revolution, we at first expected
the world revolution to march from
Russia thru Germany EDWARDS. AT the
Third Congress Lenin could foretell
that the development would not be in
a straight line butyrather zigzag, and
that the questions of tempo and direc
ton were more complex than we had
at first thot. ghA
THE Fifth World Congress analysed
4 the world economic situation as
well as the world political situation
correctly il also analysed and char
acterized the democratic pacifst era
fascism, the social-democracy as the
third party OF the bourgeoisie, as wei
as the trade union and peasant ques
tons correctly.
ONCE the Fifth Congress the world
~ economic situation has changed
but little. The prophets OF the col
lapse OF capitalism proved TO be just
as wrong as the-fetishists of stabiliza
ton. Only the Fifth Congress was
correct in its analysis when II SAID
that, historically speaking, the bour
geoisie has gained breathing space
tho Il may be ofihhort duration.

world domination that eof Canada,
Australia, Mexico, the. .naptha ques-
ton, that of disarmament, debts, raw
materials, and even IN the interpreta-
ton of the Dawes Plan.
Parallel and simultaneous with the
impeachment, can besnoticed an in
classification of the conflicting inter
ests. 1t suffices to point to Canada
which is gradually being Americana
ed, and which is slipping out of Brit
ish hands. nH.sy
TN Japan the situation is character
L lied by the demonstrations, the
peasant movement and the activities
of the intellegentsia. In Japan the
bourgeois revolution is on the
threshold.
The Eastern problem is maturing
with unexpected speed. The united
front of the U. S. S. R. with China is
an event of world historical signii-
canoe. As early as 1911, Lenin spoke
of backward Europe and progressive
Asia"
7INOvIEv then points to the I'M
- equivocal Strengthening of the
Soviet Union. Last years opposition
in the c. P. r. had prophesied bud
get deficit. But in reality we have a
surplus (Applause). The workers
wage is constantly rising. The most
important question is the, peasant
question. The alliance Of peasants
and workers is growing stronger.
All this does. not mean however
that there is no danger. 1T is just
this fact of the strengthening of the
Soviet Union that may lead the
world bourgeoisie to attempt new at
taclks against US. siiia "t
THE British Empire is threefold I'M
4 dermined; firstly thru the domin
ion problem; secondly by its Eastern
question; and thirdly thru it's internal
situation. English liberalism is being
crushed between the working class
and the conservatives. The most i'm
portant facts concerning England are:
the differentiation of the labor party
forces, and the growth of the left
wing within the labor party
The situation in England is not YET
consolidated; II is revolutionized.
| In France the Herriot government
is politically bankrupt
The Balkans are being revolution
lied by three factors: the peasant
movement; the nationality problem
and the workers movement.

tries. With the exception of France,
Italy, Japan and Roumania, the cur
rency has been established at the ex.
pense of the workers and peasants
who have to bear four-fifths or three
quarters of the whole burden.
The restoration of international
credits can also be noticed. The
United States have granted loans to
an amount exceeding one milliard.
The world prices and the information
al combines constitute the beginning
of unified world economy. An i'm
provement in general trade can also
be noticed. In short, capitalism has
convalesced in certain countries, in
some respects. However, numerous
recent signs tend to show the instabil-
ity of the present situation. Even
bourgeois economists consider the
present Mid-European sterilization as
insecure. For the first time in dec
ade France is beginning to suffer from
unemployment. In England-chronic
unemployment; in Germany-a crisis
in coal production; in Poland, Aus
tria and Hungary-crises.
THE position Of the working class is
l. characterized by this unemploy.
ment. In America--2,OOO 10000; in Eng
land-2,000,000 in Germany, 00O,.
900 unemployed. The lowering Of the
real wage, except in Soviet Russia
has become a world phenomenon. In
Germany the Dawes plan has until
now been displaying its so-called good
sides.
The struggle for markets and the
internal conflicts of capitalism are be.
coming ever sharper The question
as to whether the world war and the
first Bolshevik revolution have de.
livered fatal blow to capitalism or
not, must be answered in the affirma.
tive. Capitalism has been wounded
fatally.
THE most important factor in the
L world political situation are the
relations OF the u. S. A. to England
The opportunists who see everything
in the enemys camp in rosy colors
and everything in their own camp in
gloomy colors, believe that America
will and can put Europe on rations,
and rule over her, whereby they lose
sight of the conflict OF interests be
tween the U. S. A. and England
They seem to forget that America ia

trade Zinoviev warns against any mis-
understanding of the thesis that at
the present time there is no acute
revolutionary situation. The class
struggle with its episodes of civil war,
has not ceased. The German street
collisions prove this.
In Poland there is a strong nation
peasant movement, strong nation
atty movement, a strong peasant
movement, and quite a strong prole-
tartan movement The situation in
Poland is effectively revolutionary.
TN Italy fascism has not yet been
L overcome, but there too the situa-
ton is unstable.
In Czecho-Slovakia the labor move
ment is stronger than in the other
countries.
In Scandinavia the idyll of socialist
government is at an end.
TNHE attractive power Of the Soviet
l. Union is growing. The social
feeling that they have been laboring
under Illusions; they are beginning
to realize that in Soviet Russia, so
cialist reconstruction has actually
begun. Taking everything into con.
sideration, we may say that the world
situation remains revolutionary, and
that the idea of the world revolution
has taken deeper root. Our tactics
must be such as will enable us to be
prepared for a slower as we'll as
quicker tempo Of the revolution.
lTHOSE who base their hopes on a
rapproachement between England
and America are threatened by the
danger of a revision OF Leninism in
the question of Imperialism. These
comrades are approaching the Kauts-
khan theory OF ultra-imperialism
These weak attempts to revise Len.
inism must be definitely rejected.
THERE were in the Comintern diff
4 ferences of opinion on the ques-
ton Of the socalled democratic-pacif-
list era. Events have proven that we
are passing thru an era of imperial.
ism and not one OF pacifism; that the
petty bourgeoisie cannot rule indie

ed against his will to work for us;
and that the process OF dliferentia.
ton within the British working class
is progressing well.
The democratlc-pa cihst era was but
an episode in the age of Imperialism.
There are but two great factors: the
working class and the imperialist
bourgeoisie.

The Coal Miners Face a Fight

The mine owners ultimatum' to the United Mine
Workers of America is; downward revision of the
Jacksonville agreement, return to the 1917 wage
scale, or we shut down our properties"
What the reyisions proposed by the operators
mean to the working miners is shown by the wage
cuts Of 1928 per day already handed out in the I'M
organized Fayette and Connelsyille fields. The
non.union miners paychecks in West Virginia and
Kentucky also afford basis for estimating the
extent of the reduction in the miners mot the
ownersD standard Of living, that the coal oper-
tors association has in mind.
To wait for the wholesale closing OF mines is,
ror the miners, slow suicide. The way to fight the
coal barons is for the miners to close the mines
themselves in every union field.
This method has the merit Of putting the oper-
ators on the defensive and Of bringing the whole
union into action rather than letting it die
shameful death. The nroads already made in the
union by the operators must be repaired speedily
as possible a counteroifensiye Of organization
must be started in the nonunion fields, the war on
the left wing must stop. The union must solidfy
itself for long, hard struggle

With the coming of the new econ
omic policy in 1921 and the re-estab-
lishment Of exchange money became
necessary once more as medium of
exchange. The whole financial and
fiscal system had to be rebuilt on
fresh foundations severe test of
the ability and authority of the lead
ers of the revolution. For time de-
probation actually got worse, but af-
ter the middle of 1922 there was a
turn for the better. The total figures
of currency issued were astronomical,
"but the paper chase in Russia never
became quite such a wild goose chase
as in Germany"
The recovery of a stable currency
was on similar (tho earlier) lines to
that followed in Germany. But With
this difference. That it was done by
strong government without any out
side help. The gold standard was re-
stored and the tschervonetz worth ten
roubles or little more than 6 (ster-
ling) became the new init. Finally
in 1924 all previous currencies were
put out of circulation and silver and
copper coinage minted.
The restoration of the budget is de-
scribed very clearly. The progress
towards balancing is summarized as
follows by showing the budgets de-
creasing deficit of each year of the
N. E. P.

which consists in the financing of in
dustry and is covered by loans.
The present budget is nearly two
thirds Of the pre-war budget The Red
Army expenditure is one-ffth of car

ture as a whole is one-fourth.s l.
The successful campaign carried
on by Communism against corruption
is included in this chapter as one of
the main savings of the revolution.

The taxes are: 4s
Direct: Income tax, industrial tax
(on profits of all enterprises), rural
tax on peasants. s a.z
Indirect: Excuses on sugar, tobae-
co, wine and beer; customs and vari-
Gus duties.
The general conclusion that would
be came to In respect Of the U. S.
s. R. finance by any impartial in
quiry is that not only is II now on
the right lines, but is a long way
ahead Of continental countries
which are at present profItIng by

treaty and for the working class, who
are naturally interested in the solu-
tons found for these problems by the
fellow-workers in Russia.
