Executive Committee of the Com
munist International.
Vassilyev, of the Soviet Union
then declared that in spite of the
leftward swing of the masses the
disproportion was growing between
the political and organizaional in
fluence of sections of the Commun-
list International. The reasons for
this are not only of an objective
nature. The Communist Parties have
neglected many things, he asserted
In spite of the great electoral sue
cesses of the French and German
Communist Parties there has beer
no increase in membership.
Young Communist International.
The Young Communist Interna-
tional is one of the best sections of
the Comintern, but outside of the
Soviet Union it has made no nu-
merical progress in the last few
years. The important task before
all sections therefore is to work to
win the youth.
Murphy, of Great Britain, de-
clared that in describing the first
postwar period, Bukharin stated
that it had ended with defeats but
had failed to mention that in this
same period the Communist Inter
national had developed and the Com
munist Parties had won ground
everywhere.
In describing the second period
Bukharin had also failed to set off
the development of the revolutionary
movement in the colonies and the
growth of the Communist Party of
China against the sterilization of
capitalism.
Further, he said, it is impossible
to generalize about the development
of technique which marked the third
period. The transformation of CAPT.
talism from the second to the third
period was not uniform, for example
the British coal and steel industries
are declining and naturalization
means limiting production, not de-
veloping productive forces.
War Danger.
The British delegation regrets that
Bukharin's theses fail to treat the
League of National question suf-
ficiently since it is today the CEN
trail question in capitalist war pre-
parations and for creating pacifist
illusions. The Kellogg peace
treaties which is part of the war
preparations is not sufficiently
stressed.
Furthermore, the speaker pointed
out, the theses do not mention the
cooperative question and treat the
trade union question insufficiently
altho this is an important question
today, owing to the strong left wing
movement which is fighting wa
preparations against the Soviet
! Union.
The theses also fail to mention
Ireland despite its important role in
the fight against British imperial
ism. The Communist Internationa'
must finally, treat the Irish ques-
ton and the tasks of the Irish Com
munists.
Approve Attack.
The British delegation approves
Bukharin's attack on fractionalisn
and demands that the Communist In
ternational finally liquidate frac-
tionalism in the American Party.
Moreover, the question of the
leadership of the Communist In
ternational must be carefully ex.
amined in order to form a strong
leadership. uniform and capable of
leading all sections.
Macdonald, of Canada, declared
that Canada was playing an i'm
portant part in Anglo-American an.
tagonism and demanded that the
Communist International treat the
Canadian question because the Can.
adam bourgeoisie would support war
against the Soviet Union.
The Communist Party of Canada
would organize trade union delega-
tons to the Soviet Union and had
founded the committees of friends
Of the Soviet Union.
Bunting. of South America. de-
manded that the Communist Inter
national pay more attention to South
Africa. He asserted that recently
the connection between the Executive
Committee of the Communist Inter
national and the South African
Party had been very bad.
