port:
The Sixth World Congress of the
Communist International accomp-
lished great and historic tasks for
the development of the Communist
movement. The attendance at the
Congress showed the increase in the
strength of the Communist Inter
national as a world Party of the
proletariat, as did also the addition
of new sections, particularly from
Latin America and the increased
representation from colonial coun-
tries.
Program Adopted.
The reporters and the exclusive
participation of the delegations of
the various sections demonstrate
again the theological development of
the Communist International and
the firmer establishment of col

the Communist International was
finally formulated and adopted.

riat. The fundamental character
istic of the program is its interna-
tionalism, the fact that it is pro-
gram for the realization of Commu-

Struggle to which the work of all
sections must be dedicated for the
establishment of the world proleta-
rian dictatorship.

of Marx and Engels, upon the ex-
