vention, it has been necessary to

14 Leadership and Advice OF
Stalin.-The present head OF the
Communist party in the United
States, Earl Browder, acknowledged
that he and his party have ac-
cepted the leadership and advice
of Stain on matters that pertain
to the work of the Communist
party in this country. Further
more, the tenth convention OF the
American Communist Party for
mally acknowledged the leader

tl5l Direc i VI s.-Scattered
throughout the proceedings and lit
erature of the American Communist
party and the Comintern are nu-
merous examples of actual lnstruc-
tions given by the Comintern to the
American party. These were intro
duced into evidence before the COM
mittee.
16) Parallel PolicieS-From nu-
merous documentary sources, as well
as from the first-hand knowedge OF
witnesses. it was shown that the
basic policies of the Communist
party of the United States closely
parallel the policies of the govern
ment of the U. S. S. R. When shifts
of policy have occurred in the Soviet
Union. based upon its internal situa-
ton alone, these shifts have been
mechanically reflected in similar
shifts by the party in the United
States without any regard for the
situation confronting the Commu-
mist party here.
lT Defense Of the Soviet Union.
For many years the Communist
party of the United States used as
one of it's principal slogans The De-
fense of the Soviet Union" A revo-
luton of the Seventh World Con-
gress of the Communist Interna-
tional. to which Browder and Foster
and other leaders of the American
Communist party declared their al
legiance. described the defense OF
the Soviet Union as the paramount
duty" of Communists throughout
the world

Policy.-One of the most striking
attributes of the American Com
munist party in the present worlc
situation is the complete support
which its leaders and publications
give to the foreign policies of Stain
For years the American party con-
Quoted it's most energetic propa-
ganda campaigns around the issue
Of anti-Facism. With the signing
of the Stalin-H Hitler pact, all thi.
has changed, and the American
party has launched an equally ener-
getic propaganda campaign against
Great Britain and France.
(19) Illegality on Behalf OF Mos
cow.-In demonstrating its unswerv
ing loyalty to the Soviet government
the Communist party of the Unitee
States, under instructions from thu
Comintern, has from time to tim
pursued policies in direct violation O.
the laws of the United States. Thes'
violations have included the obtain
ing of fraudulent passports, counter
feiting of American currency, thu
maintenance of a secret espionag'
apparatus, and violation of injunc
tionS.

funds for its subversive activities
Some of these, witnesses, such a.
Gitlow and Lovestone, have in th'
past themselves brought these fund
from Moscow to the United States
CD Soviet Government Agencies
in the United States-The interlock'
ing of Soviet government agencies
in the United States with the Amer
lean Communist party was estab
lished through the testimony OF sew
eral witnesses. The Soviet Embassy

Bookkniga propaganda literature
agency and the Amkino (propa
ganda movie distributors) were in
volved in this interrelationship O
the American Communist party with
