Hail Russia S Action
Disso|ving Comintern
ConnoIIy Sees Move
As Step for Solidarity
Among Foes Of Hitler
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Members of Congress yesterday
welcomed the news that Russia had
abandoned sponsorship of interna-
tional Communism.
Chairman Connally of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
called the announcement "of tre-
mendous Importance to the United
Nations"
"It is an assurance that Russian
Communism will not intermeddle in
the affairs of other nations" he
said. ut is plea for solidarity
among the nations fighting Hitler.
Russians for years have been
changing their economy and ap-
preaching the abandonment Of Com
munism, and the whole western
world will be gratified at the happy
climax C their efforts"
Revercomb, Reed Comment.
Senator Revercomb, Republican Of
West Virginia. called the news
splendid" and said he hoped it
meant the end Of Communism IN
America.
"It will remove from the feelings
OF the American people doubt they
have always had about Russia's at
titude toward our own country" he
said.

clared that the party as a body was
unaffected and added that "it only
affects our policy" Later In state
ment issued from party headquar-
ters in Manhattan, he said:
THE Communist party of the
United States will continue to fight
with all its strength, as it has in the
past period. for the complete unity
of the United Nations. for interna-
tional labor unity, and for national
unity within our country to win the
unconditional surrender of the Hit
Ter regime and its allies, Japan and
Italy. and an ordered and peaceful
world when victory is achieved"
No Elaboration on Policy.
There was no elaboration other
wise on how the Comintern proposal
would affect the party's policy in
the United States. The objectives
listed in the formal statement ap-
peared largely to be those advocated
by American Communists ever since
Russia entered the war
Actually, the American branch re-
moved itself from the international
organization in 1910 specifically be-
cause of passage of the Voorhis Act
which required foreign controlled"
organizations to register with the
Justice Department.
At that time the party's resolution
branded the Voorhis Act as an in
strument which would tend to de-
stroy the party's position "as legal
and open political party of the
American working class"
Mr.. Browder himself declared then
that its design was to 'coerce the
people into submission to the entry
OF the United States into the impe-
r1alistic war" and labeled it as a
part Of the sweep OF fascination
over the capitalistic world"

Representative Voorhis, Demo-

United States"
State Department Silent.
Comment was withheld at the
State Department, with the ex-

diplomatic sources, which must re-
main anonymous, said the action
should divorce United States rela-
tions with Russia from the Ameri-
can attitude toward Communism.

Moscow Stand Won't
Affect Party in U. s.,
browder Believes
American Communists
Agree With Motivation
Of Order, Says Leader
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 22.-American
Communists took the view today
that their organization in the
United States was in no way af-
fected by the Soviet decision to dis
band the Communist International
although 1t was conceded that party
policy would be touched.
General Secretary Earl Browder
pointed out that actually the inter-
national characteristics of the
American party had been cancelled
three years ago when a national
convention Of the organization re-
solved to free itself of all groups
Of any kind outside the boundaries
Of the United States.
Agree With Motivation
Mr.. Browder expressed the opin-
ion that the American Communist
party would agree with the Moscow
proposal "and its motivation" since
experience in this country ALREADY
pointed in the same direction.
(The Moscow resolution said that
the forms, methods and regulations
OF the omintern had become obso-
lete and in some cases actually him
dered workers In their battle against
Fascism.)
When news of the Comintern &C
ton first reached Mr.. Browder at
his Yonkers, N. Y. home he de-

to the various national sections.
As result the resolution Of the
Communist party Of the United
States in withdrawing from the
Comintern in November, 1910, had
been approved, the resolution
stated.
Before closing the records Of the
Third International, however, the
resolution lauded the historic role"
of the Communist center in helping
mobilize the vanguard of workers
for the struggle against faseism and
the war which the latter was pre-
pairing, and for the support of the
Soviet Union as the chief bulwark
against fascism.'
The Comintern was the third
international organization to be Gre
ated by Socialist and left-wing
groups. The first was established
in 1864 by Karl Marx and lasted for
10 years.
The second, the Socialist Interna-
tional, was founded IS years later
and indured until the World War.
The third was organized by Lenin
and the Communists, and had for
its purpose the advancement of
revolutionary principles throughout
the world.
Some of the bitterest controversies
OF the last quarter century have
revolved about the Third Interna-
tionale, whose opponents pictured it
as a foreign directed political party.
In reply to a protest from the
United States Government in 1885,
however, that the Moscow Congress
of the Comintern had formulated
policies to be carried out by the
Communist organization in the
United States" the Soviet govern
ment declared itself free of "obliga-
tions OF any kind with regard to the
Communist internationale."

Russians, two Frenchmen, q Czech,

Spanish woman Communist, said
that even before the war it became
clear that because Of increasing
complications in internal and in
ternational affairs Of various coun-
tries "any sort Of international CEN
ter would encounter insuperable OBJ
stacles in solving the problems" of
the Communist movement.
Differences in the level and
tempo" of the economic and politi-
cal developments in various coun-
tries were accentuated, it added, by
the war which placed a dividing
line between countries which fell
to Hitler's domination and those
united in an anti-Hitler coalition.
The working class parties have
three main tasks, the resolution
said. Those in Hitler's bloc must
give all help by sabotage Of the
Hitlerite military machine from
within"
The sacred duty" of those in the
anti-Hitler coalition consists of aid
ing ''by every means the military
efforts Of the governments OF these
countries aimed at the speediest de-
feat Of the Hitlerite bloc"
Finally, the basic task in the oc-
cupied lands is the promotion of
the armed struggle developing into
a national war of liberation" the
resolution said.
Communists have never been
supporters Of the conservation Of
organizational forms that have out
lived themselves" it continued, add
ing that they acted In 1885 to give

Randolph Offers Bill
To Require Audits Of
Licensing Unit Funds

Strict audit of funds collected as
fees by IA District examining and
licensing boards and commissions,
amounting to more than 100000
annually, is proposed in a bill in
troduced yesterday by Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee at the request of the Dis
trict Commissioners.
These funds are now deposited in
private banks and checked upon
without audit, Commissioner Guy
Mason explained. The Commission
ers feel that the proposed legisla-
ton makes possible better control
and accounting for public funds and
tends to make uniform the financial
procedures of boards and commits
sions."
Chairman Randolph also intro
duced, at the Commissioners re-
quest, two other bills, one of which
would amend the present Motor We
hicle Ast so as to include operators
OF streetcars and bicycle riders un-
der the penalty for driving while
under the influence of liquor. The
Commissioners urge that the present
law be made applicable to all types
of vehicles. The other bill would
permit members of the armed forces
of the United Nations to import
into the District alcoholic beverages
for their personal or official use.
A fourth District bill, introduced
by Representative Hebert of Louisi-
ana, would permit night employment
of boys as pin settlers in bowling al
leys. Boys between 16 and 18 might
work up to midnight and boys IA to
16 up to II pm. The entire subject
of child employment in the Dis
trict will be reviewed.
