FOR VIOLATION

Moscow Plenum Scores
FactiOnalism

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Oct. THE
Plenum of the Moscow Committee OF
the Communist Party has adopted
resolution in which it points out that
the fractional struggle pursued by the
Opposition has become extraordinary
lily aggravated. The following facts
show that the factional campaign Is
increasing.
l. The Opposition has propagated
new platform, practically constitut-
ing new program for a new party.
2. The Opposition has organized
secret press and established its own
organization centers.
Trotsky Violated Discipline.
8. Trotsky's insolent statement
saying that he does not recognize the
Bolshevists Party discipline as obliga-
! tory for him, has been repeated by
his followers, who have refused to
recognize the decision of the Central
Committee forbidding the spreading
of the Opposition's platform.
4. The most impudent dealings Of
the partisans of the Opposition in the
Party cells and outside the Party,
campaign calumnies pursued by the
Opposition against the central or
gans of the Party leaders.
Approves Comintern Decision.
The resolution fully approves the
decision of the Executive Committee
of the Comintern concerning the ex-
pulsion of Trotsky and Vuyovitch
and also the decision of the Moscow
Control Commission and the Central
Control Commission, ordering the ex-
clusion of ID members of the OPP.
4 position for their fractional activity
directed against the Party.
The resolution approves all the
measures taken by the Central Com
mittee in preparation for the fiji
teenth congress for the purpose OF
stopping fractional activity and assur'
ling a feminist unity in the Party.
The resolution appeals to the Mos
COW organization, inviting it to de-
fend with the greatest energy, thS
unity of the Party against all fac
tional action of the Opposition.
The secretariat of the Executive
Committee of the Comintemshas re

Prosecuted Natives

Kill British Police

LONDON, Oct. 7.-District Com
missioner Bell of the Solomon Islands,
and Is native policemen, have been
killed by natives of Malaita Island,
according to a Central News dispatch
from Wellington, New Zealand, today,
relaying word received in Wellington
by radio.
The Solomon Islands belong to
Great Britain. They are in the Paci-
fic, northeast of Australia, and Ma
laita is the biggest of the group.
There have been an increasing flood
of protests from the islanders, who
had an ancient tribal life and form
of Communism in goods since the
British have begun their serious eff
forts to make the natives into wage
slaves. Great brutalities and indigni-
ties have been inflicted on the island
ers, many reports have declared.

Opens Trading List for
First Time

Wall Street has taken another
staggering hitch in its world
encircling money belt in the opening
of the trading lists of the New York
Stock Exchange to foreign shares.
The opening of the New York Stock
Exchange trading lists to the shares
of foreign companies has just been
announced.
This is one more important step
in the growing world power of United
States Imperialism. Though in itself
it is a peaceful step, this Stock Ex-
change expansion is continuation of
a program that has been marked by
the Smelling of Marking and the in
vasion of Nicaragua.
Wall Street International.
The New York Stock Exchange for
the first time now functions as an
international institution, an interna-
tional securities market comparable
to London. The shadow Of Wall
Street in the last few years has been
creeping toward London's Lombard
Street. The machinery is now being
organized by which Wall Street in
practice and in fact is to supplant
London as the dominant international
center for stock trading.
'The purpose is to establish the
best possible facilities for the smooth
flow of American capital into and out
of foreign business enterprise" E. H.
H. Simmons, president of the New
York Stock Exchange, is quoted as
saying Of this new development in
imperialistic finances.
Only Hand-Picked Issues.
Restrictions that are to be placed
on the listing of foreign securities in
New York show that all such securi-
ties bought and sold in New York
are to be hand-picked
"The way has been opened to admit
to this market the soundest and best
internal issues of foreign countries
and every effort has been made to
establish suitable precautions espe-
cially called for because of the wide
differences which exist between our
own and foreign financial and corpo-
rate practice" Sommons said in ex-
planning the action of the New York
Stock Exchanges governing board.

he charged that military secrets had
been removed from the archives of

regard for the Mexican people, but
that the Mexican government made
his stay in that country very diff
cult.

badly over the fact that his charges
of theft and forgery were too crude
