"THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL is NOT MEN
TONED IN THE DOCUMENT YOU MUST NOT
READ INTO 1T MORE THAN WAS INTENDED"
This is absolutely true The capitalist press knows
H. Roosevelt knows and the capitalist class knows it.
They know that the Third International is composed
OF Communist Parties which the Soviet Govern
ment has jurisdiction.
They know that every attempt to claim that article
Of the Litvnof pact applies to the Communist In
ternational will meet with defeat Just as every at
tempt of the British government for example to do
that failed
The Communist International the vanguard Of the
revolutionary proetariat Of all countries has behind
it the growing support of millions of oppressed
in all capitalist and colonial countries, and win grow
in power and force.
The Communist Party in every capitalist coun-
try is native to its SOIL growing out of the class
struggle in its country representing the consci-
organization of the vanguard in that country in
the struggle for the overthrow of its capitalism
These Parties, under the slogan of workers of the
World Unite" adhere unyieldingIy to the Communist
International leader in the revolutionary struggles
against world capitalism.
1t is only necessary to quote from the yesterdays
issue of the London Times to see that the most re-

difference between the Communist International and

1t is because the wonderful victories of the Soviet
Union showing the working class of the world that
the Socialist system of economy, built up and advanc-

the Soviet Union, is building richer better life for
the toiling masses it is because the example of the

But the working class of the world is thrilled and

leadership Of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union
and this brings them closer and closer to the leader

The venom and SANDER of the Socialist leaders and

IN the day Roosevelt announced he would return Wall

With the rapid building of new war vessels the
Secretary of the Navy argues, there must be an in

intervention in Cuba if the counter-revolutionary plots
fail to achieve their aim

From the very start Of the MIRA the Roosevelt
regime has been consciously consistently prepar-

OF American capitalism the war danger becomes more
imminent.
The greatest task Of the class-conscious workers In

Italy Threatens to
Quit League;;French
Cabinet Faces Crisis
Mass Resentment High
At Soaring Costs
of Foodstuffs

PARIS, Nov. 20.-The rift between
France and her allies in the last
World War developed further today
with a threat by Italy to quit the
League of Nations unless France
consents to a Horsepower conference
in Rome at which Germany would
be represented. This development sig
nalizes Italian support for the Brit
ish proposal, rejected by France, for
greater re-arming of the German
NaziS, primarily directed against the
Soviet Union, but opposed by the
French imperialists as a potential
threat against them.
The international difficulties of
French imperialism are further aug
mented by a new Cabinet crisis,
which threatens the early overthrow
of the new ministry headed by Pre-
mier Sarraut. The Sarraut Cabinet
is expected to fall this week as a
result Of its failure to balance the
budget or to solve any of the burn
ing problems of the deepening crisis.
The resentment of the workers and
petty bourgeois masses is mounting
as the price of foodstuffS continue to
soar as a result of the protective pol
icy Of the government on meats,
cheese, fruits, vegetables, etc. Eggs
are now selling at 78 cents a dozen
retail, while butter averages 78 cents
pound. The internal situation is
made graver by the pressure of Brit
ish imperialism for preferential du-
ties and the battle between the dol
lar and the franc.

5000 Nazi Pastors
in Revolt on Dogma
Wide Split in N All
Church Front"

BERLIN, Nov. 20.-Revolt flared up
Sunday within the united front of
organized religion with the Nazi but
cheers, with over 5000 Protestant pas
tors denouncing from their pulpits the
Nazi program for the elimination of
the Old Testament (history of the
Jews) from the bible, to be replaced
with "Germanic traditions" The in
surgent pastors demanded the re-
moval of all those clergymen who
have applauded the Nazi German
Church" program.
In a sensational statement express
ing solidarity with the Protestant in
surgents, the Roman Catholic leaders
attacked the Nazi church program
despite the recent Nazi concordat
with the Pope. The rift between the
NaN government and the Catholics
was sharpened recently by reference
to the Catholics as black moles" by
Gen. Goering. Prussian premier.
While embattled in defense OF
dogma, the leaders of the insurgent
church movement made it quite clear
that they would still support the
bloody excuses of the Nazi dictator
ship against the revolutionary Ger
man workers. DR.. Mueller (not to be
confused with DR.. Ludwig Muller, the
Reichbishop) one of the leaders OF
the insurgents, preached Sunday from
the text Render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars" and de-
manded loyalty to the fatherland
and obedience toward the civil au-
thorities."

Urged Steps Toward
Understanding
By MARGUERITE YOUNG
DAILY Worker Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-williaIn
Christian Bullitt, accepted by Moscow
as the first American Ambassador to
the Soviet Union, is perhaps the
most outspokenly sympathetic bour-
geois who could be chosen.
It was Bullitt who urged the Allies
to call the Bolsheviks to Paris to ne
gotiate peace in 1918-Bullitt who
talked with Lenin in the hope that
intervention wiuld be avoided-Bul
lit who later spread the whole malo-
dorous story of the peace conference
upon the official records Of the
United States.
He was married for some years TIC
Anna Moen Louise Bryant, the widow
of John Reed, the American who
wrote "Ten Days That Shook the
World" and whose ashes lie in the
Kremlin wall.
And yet bourgeois Bullitt has al
ways been and remains to this day.
His friends here characterize him,
"a tired radical, liberal who thor
oughly approves of Bolshevism-for
the Russians"
Now AZ Years Old
It's no accident that Bullitt's uncle
has characterized the recognition of
the Soviet Union as "a disgrace" for

Bullitt was born in Philadelphia Just
AZ years ago. Educated at Yale, he
went to work on the Philadelphia

He was the last American envoy

Conference, and sent him thence to
