COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL TAKES UP QUESTION
OF PROPER COMMUNIST TACTICS in BRITAIN

movement Is sincerely III FAVOR OF real
unity.
"At the same time the Plenum ap-
proves of the campaign which the
British Communist Party is conduct
ing among the miners to establish
unity between the British miners and
the Soviet miners. The criticism of
the miners leaders, who are in prac-
tice preventing the establishment of
an Anglo Russian Miners Committee,
is fully justified. Those leaders not
only refused to set up Joint Miners
Committee, but they even conceal from
the British miners the proposal of the
Russian miners to that effect"
The resolution sets forth that the
British Communist Party must CON
tinue it's efforts to establish the clos
est relations between itself and the
workers, peasants and nationalist gov
ernments in the colonies and to assist
the colonial peoples in their struggle
for independence in every possible
way.
1t is pointed out that sin view of
the great role which the youth has to
play in the struggle against imperial
ism, war and militarism, the Party
must give assistance to the Young
Communist League to carry out it's
tasks.
1t is demanded that, "a special eff
fort must be made to increase the
number of factory groups and factory
papers. The political education of the
new members must be undertaken in
the most energetic way, with view
to consolidating the recent gains of
the Party. The fight against the anti
trade union bill and the danger of war
must be made the basis of the most
energetic recruiting of new members.
"The following practical activities
must be engaged in around the slogans
already enumerated: ~ careful ex-
posure of the British Governments
campaign of forgeries and provoca-
tions directed against the Soviet
Union and an explanation Of the mil
itary and diplomatic measures already
undertaken by Great Britain in pur-
suance of its policy of encirclement;
| (2) an explanation of the achieve
ments of the Soviet Union in the
building up of Socialism and the i'm
portance of the growing strength of
the working class in Russia which
follows this, enabling the Russian
workers to assist the workers in all
other countries in their struggle
against oppression; (3) the demon
stration of the fact that the govern
ment after supporting the wage Of
fensive of the employers, and intro
| ducing the bill to smash the trade
unions is now proceeding to disorgan-
ize the trade of the country by Great
/ ing unemployment; (4) the Party
must link up the campaign against
the breaking off of diplomatic rela-
tons and the danger of war with the
campaign against the trade union bill
and insist that the Labor Party and
the Trade Union Congress should con-
duct joint campaign against the
Anti Trade Union Bill as well as the
/ breaking off of relations with the U
S. S. R.; (5) the Party must empha-
4 size the necessity of the workers in
the localities setting up Councils OF
Action to prepare the struggle against
the bill and against the war danger
and must intensity it's agitation for q
General Strike to force the govern
ment to resign"
This brief summary of the British
resolution is being written as news
boys in the streets cry "Extras!" OF
the "Rabotchaya Gazetta," one OF
Moscow's afternoon dailies, contain
ing the news that a Polish court has
merely Sentenced to life imprison-
ment" the assassin of the Soviet am
bassador, Voikov. Thus does the Brit
ish reaction pull the strings, the Polish
puppet obeys and the murderer es-
capes the death penalty. But, at the
same time, Great Britain moves an
other step nearer the war against the
Soviet Union. Against this war the
British working class prepares,
