The Soviet government will make
no attempt to limit activities of

spite sharp warning from the
United States against the organi-

in the opinion of reliable observers
here today.
Absolute silence, in the press
and officialdom, greeted the pro-
test logged by United States Ambas-
Sador William C. Bullitt against
open and secret plans for Com
munist activities in America,
voiced during the seventh congress
of the Communist international
which ended last week.

URGE BREAK
WITH RUSSIA
international News Service


The bluntly-worded warning to
Soviet Russia that it must abide
by its pledge to refrain from dis
tributing communistic propaganda
in the United States if it hopes
to continue friendly relations with
the American Government, was
received with favor by members
of Congress today.
But some of the members be.
lieved the President waited too
long before authorizing the State
Department to dispatch its repri-
mand to Moscow and they started
to crystalline sentiment in favor
of complete severance of Amer.
ica's diplomatic relations with the
SovietS.
Green Expression
The attitude of American Labor
toward the American stand was
expressed by President Green, of
the American Federation of Labor,
in these words:
"If this protest doesn't bring
results, the Government should
take the next step and with.
draw recognition. The protest is
fully justified and follows rep
reservations made to the State
Department by the American
Federation of Labor"
Representative Think am, in
urging immediate severance Of
Russian relations, said:
"This Soviet Union is a union
of hOmicidal terrOriStS. Since
its recognition by the United
States over two years ago it has
violated every pledge given in
writing by Ambassador Litvin-
off. These hOmicidal terrorists
have in effect made war on the
United States and its institu-
tions, by network of Organiza.

Hearst Drive
Praised by
KnutSOn

The Administrations awakening
to the perils of Russian attempts
to communize America constitutes
vindication of the position taken
by the Hearst papers. Representa-
tive Harold Knutson (R0, Of
Minnesota declared today.
Noting the Hearst papers had
persistently pointed out violations
of the Litvinoff pledges not to pro.
mote red activities in the United
States, Knutson said:
In view Of recent develop
ments, the truths Of this posi-
ton have been affirmed.
"Mr Hearst showed from the
start that he had a greater
grasp and knowledge of the
situation than those charged
with the conduct of our foreign
policies. He deserves cOmmenda-
ton for explaining the evils OF
communism to the American
people,"

page pamphlets.
Most of the pamphlets were con-
fiscated by Army officials. 1t was
neither confirmed nor denied that
copies of the document were sent
to the War Department in Wash
ington. State police also were re-
ported enlisted in the search for
the airplane. The only violation
OF the law apparently involved. Of
ficials said, was that forbidding
the dropping of anything from an
airplane.

misSar Maxim Titvinoff,

General opinion is the SovietS
will take the following line in their
answer:
The American delegates, whose
speeches at the congress aroused
ire of Washington, came to Russia
with passports signed by the
United States Secretary of State,
who asked the Soviet government
to give them "all legal aid and
protection.
They can then ask whether the
correspondence between Litvinoff
and President Roosevelt at the
time of recognition can be interp-
reted as meaning visiting Amer.

quest published in every Amer

order of the whole or any part
of the United States, its terri.
tories or possessions"
The Communist international
has just been held in Moscow.
And that Organization" by reso-
luton and otherwise certainly did
agitate and conspire against the
American form of government, in
view of officials here. The meet
ing was held on Russian soil, and
patronized, if not directed, by the
Soviet government. That is held
to be a clear violation of the para
graph quoted above.
If President Roosevelt does de-
eide to withdraw recognition, he
will find Congress quite generally
behind him. The Democrats natu-
rally will follow his leadership in
question of major foreign pol
icy; the Republicans, who refused
recognition of Russia for dozen
years, were always lukeWarm to
the recognition step, anyway. The
typical Republican comment to-
day, on the heels of the protest,
was that recognition was a mis-
take in the first place. They called
it another Roosevelt experiment
that hasn't worked"
The fact of the matter is that
the Roosevelt Administration has
been disappointed over the effects
of Soviet recognition.
The recognition. was predicated
upon the Soviets reaching settle
ment with the United States con-
corning the old Russian debt, the
principal of which is nearly $780,
100000. After being recognized,
their ardor to settle cooled with
great rapidity. And today, nearly
two years later, the debts are still
unsettled, and there is scant
prospect they will be.
Debts Unsettled
The last proposition advanced
by Moscow really surprising
proposal--was that Moscow would
agree to repay the debt provided
the United States would lend them
two dollars for every dollar they
agreed to pay back on the old
debt. For sheer nerve, State De-
partment officials considered that
the tops" And, of course, it was
speedily rejected.
Russian trade also has been
disappointing. When they we're
angling for American recognition,
the Soviets painted a rosy picture
of Russia being vast, almost
unlimited, market for American
goods. They talked of trade run
ming more than $100,000,000 a
year. It hasn't developed because
the United States was not will
ing to extend the necessary
credit itself, and private firms
were equally unwilling to do so.
Instead of Russian trade running
into the hundreds of millions, it
has run closer to $15,000,00O an
nually-or just about what it was
before recognition. Russia has
bought from the United States
what it could pay for-and what
it could not get elsewhere, prin-
cipally machinery.
For the Stain government, un-
der the circumstances and in
view of the record, to now foster
on its soil the Communist Inter
national and plot the overthrow
of the "Bourgeoise System" of
government in the United States,
is, to the Administration, just
about the last straw.

SPEECHES
At MOSCOW
IRKED i. 5.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-OrderS
for o direct campaign Of penetra-
tioh among labor unions, farm
ORGANIZATIONS and other groups in
the United States were made pub
lie, at the seventh congress Of the
Communist international held re-
Gently in Moscow. These led TO
Americas protest to Russia.
Orders relating to the United
States made no attempt to hide
the fact that Communists, by Dor
ing from within, hoped to create a
united proletarian front and bring
about a Bolshevik revolution in
the United States for the over
throw of democratic government.
Sees Red Trend
Earl Browder, of New York, Sec
retary-general of the Communist
party in the United States, told
the Moscow gathering that mil.
lions of Americans began to
break away from the major polit-
ical parties here after the last
congressional elections. He said:
"Since the illusions of the New
Deal have been diSpelled the
time has become ripe for a
nVVAitoI To
and workers. aware of the ad-
vent of FasciSm, are turning to
Communists for leadership.
milo Reno, Middle Western
farm leader, has been led to say
that If 1t came to a choice be-
tween a Fascist dictatorship and
the breaking up of the old Sys-
tenn, and the creation of a new
one, he would certainly lean
toward the latter"
George Dimitroff, Bulgarian
delegate, who was a defendant in
the famous Reichstag fire trial in
Germany, assured the Congress
the policies of both President
Roosevelt and the outstanding op-
position leaders in the United
States were developments toward
FaSciSm.
Urged Strikes
William PECK, German dele
gate, declared revolutionary work
ers in the United States have sue
ceeded in extending their influ-
ence in many organizations con-
nected with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. He said they had
a decisive hand in the most i'm
portant strikes of 1884, including
the seamen's strike on the Pacific
Coast and the general strike in
San Francisco.
PECK predicted the Communists
would bring about organization of
a third party in the United States.
He said:
"This party will be aimed
solely at the destruction Of
banks and trusts, the chief
enemies of the people"
Browder, William z. Foster, one
time Communist candidate for
President, and Gil Green, head Of
the American branch of the
League of Communist Youth, wei ,
the American delegates elected to
serve with Josef Stain, Soviet
dictator, and AZ others on the
executive committee of the Com
munist International. This is the
general staff of the so-called world
Communist movement.
