prisoners languishing in the prisons
of several European countries for men,

now confined in the Union of Socialist

the central executive of the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics, declared
that this proposal in his opinion is
worthy of a serious consideration on
the part of the Soviet government.
The latter cannot reman Indifferent
to cruel prosecutions of workers and
peasants in European countries, es-
pecially in Bulgaria, and is ready to
do anything compatible with the in
terests of the peoples of the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics to liberate
prisoners in foreign countries.
Second international Silent.
On the question whether the Soviet
government agrees to effect exchange
of prisoners on terms offered to the
Second International by the Interna-
tional Association for Assistance to
Victims of Revolution which proposed
at the time to exchange leading mem

regrets that this proposal was left un-
answered by the Second International
which did nothing to influence those
governments in which they have rep

interested in a prolonged confinement
OF revolutionary workers. especially

does not care to free mensheviks and
socialist revolutionaries from Soviet

The first American Negro Labor
Congress has closed its sessions with
the adoption Of permanent plan OF
organization, which is to carry out the
plans for work laid down by the dele
gates during the past week.
In spite of the attacks Of William
Green, head of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and other reactionary
labor heads, in spite of the Islander OF
the whole capitalist press, in spite OF
the conspiracy of silence on the part
of most Of the Negro papers, this con-
gress has attracted the attention OF
colored workers and farmers all over
the United States.
1t has passed resolutions analyzing
the relations of the colored workers
with the white workers, the relations
of the. colored races with one another,
the influence of imperialist policies on
the Negroes in various parts Of the
world
It has pointed out the path that
must be followed if the Negro is to
gain admission to the trade unions,
and, finally, it has shown that it is
the present system, with its policy of
dividing the workers among them
selves on the lines of racial and re-
ligious differences, that is the real
cause of the virtual enslavement OF
the darker races
