against what he described as propa-

truth is that protocol to the World Court
has been acquiesced in by only five
nations. Twenty-three nations have
replied To the letters of the State De-

EXECUTIVE RAPS
The OPPOSITION
Tasks of British Party
Are Outlined

Especial Cable To DAILY wORKER.)
MOSCOW, Feb. 20.-A resolution
regarding the tasks of the British
Communist Party was unanimously
adopted by the Plenum of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Communist In
ternational Saturday. The resolution
was introduced by the British Com
mission.
The plenum also adopted Thael-
mann's resolution on the question Of
the Trotskyist opposition. The Plenum
entirely agreed with the measures
taken by the Communist Party Of the
Soviet Union against the Trotskyist
opposition, emphasizing the fact that
the latter was rallying itself around
the worst opportunist elements and
renegades in the Communist move
ment.
In view Of the counter-revolutionary
attitude of the Trotskyist opposition
and its hostility to the Soviet Union,
the Plenum entirely approved of the
measures taken by the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union.
The Plenum declared that the
Trotskyist opposition must also be
strongly fought in other countries.
