DAILY Saturday


The 18th pIenum of the Executive
Committee of the Communist Inter
national, which has just taken place
IN Moscow, with representatives from
nearly every Communist Party Of the
world, thoroughly anGlyzed the pres
ent international situation, and laid
down a clear line for the present
tasks of the Communist Parties.
Seventy-five speakers from the diff
ferent countries took part in the dis
cuSsion on which the decisions are
based. After this thorough discus
sion, the resolutions were unanim-
ously adopted.
The discussion brought forward the
inspiring work Of those Communist
Parties which are now illegal, and
the big strides forward made by these
parties in spite of the fascist terror
raging in these countries. Parti-
cularly, progress has been made in
China, Japan, Germany and Poland,
all countries under the domination
of murderous fascist terror. In
China the Soviet districts now in
clude over eighty million people. The
attempt of the imperialist powers and
the Kuomintang to crush the Chinese
SoViets has been defeated. The Com
munist Party Of China has grown
rapidly. In Japan, in spite Of I'M
heard of terror, the Party has car
ried on splendid work, especially in
its anti-war campaign.
The plenum received reports of the
rapid and effective adjustment by the
Communist Party of Germany to the
conditions of the Hitler terror, and
the carrying forward of the reVolu-
tionary fight Of the working class of
Germany in the face Of this sweeping
terror.
The leadership of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union in the work
Of socialist &C uction was reported
on; the triul[. = Of the Soviet Union
in building its industry and the grow
ing strength of the country of the
workers and peasants.
The Thirteenth Plenum Of the
Communist International was prac-
tically world congress on q small
scale, giving the lie to those rene
gades-Trotskyites and LoVestonites-
who SANDER the Communist Inter
national by their mouthings of there
having been no world congress since
1928.
The discussions and decisions were
carried out on the basis of thorough
self criticism, the weak points in the
work Of the parties were fully brought
to light. so that they may be cor
rected in the future work OF the
parties.
The agenda OF the 18th Plenum of
the E. G. G. I. included four points:
u Report and theses on the Inter
national Situation; p Report OF the
Communist Party Of Germany; 81
Report on the work of the Commu-
mist Party Of Great Britain in regard
to the united front and the I. L. P;
a Preparations for the Seventh
World Congress Of the Communist
international. The main report was
made by Con1rade Kuusinen.

speeches of the leaders of the world
parties should be studied by every
worker They give a guide to all the
tasks Of the parties at the present
time, and outline the concrete tasks
Of the Communist Parties in their
own countries.
