Browder Says Order

NEW YORK, May 22-Earl
Browder, general secretary OF
the Communist party in the
United States, said today that
the Moscow resolution dissolving
the Communist international
would not affect the American
party because since 1910 the
Communist party of the United
States has maintained no affilia :
ton outside the borders of our
country
A statement signed by Mr. Brow
der and issued at Communist party
hea adquarters said:
The proposal of dissolution OF
the Communist International. made
by the presiding committee of that
organization. does not affect or
ganizationally the status of the
Communist party Of the United
States, because since 1910 the Com
munist party Of the United States
of America has maintained no af-
filiation outside the borders of our
country.
1t is my opinion, however, that
the Communist party of the United
States will express its agreement
with the proposal and its motiva-
ton, since its own experience has
already pointed in the same direc-
ton
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
international labor unity and for
national unity within our country
to win the unconditional surrender
of the Hitler regime and its allies.

MOSCOW, May 22.-1n the
midst of the daily increasing CO.
operation between Soviet Rus
sia and her Allies, the Executive
Committee of the Communist
international has asked its CEN
ters in all parts of the world to
approve its own dissolution
The resolution said the forms
methods and regulations of the
Comintern have become obsolete and
IN some cases have actually him
dered workers of the world in their
battle against Germany and her
satellites.
The action was considered here
an open admission that the Comm
tern which had stood for solidifca-
ton of the workers of the world un-
der the Communist banner. should
dissolve and that the workers in
each country should get down to
the job of beating Adolf Hitler.
Many foreign observers in Moscow
saw in the decision one of the most
significant gestures let toward COM
plete cooperation among the ma
tions whose primary objective is the
defeat Of Naziism.
Explaining the action, the COM
mittee's resolution declared there
was no time now for a formal con-
vention of the branches throughout
the world in war time. and recon-
mended that they cease their duties

interpreted in London as meaning
its complete abolition. although the

Churchills and Roosevelts inten-
ton of kindling a political revolu-
tion' in Europe for the support OF
an Anglo American invasion was
suspected not only by European
people but also by all European
emigrant governments in London.
This suspicion was due to the
consideration of the emierant gov
ernments that no one in Europe
would lift hand for such revolu-
ton after Stains intransigeance
and his attitude toward the Polish
and Serb emigrants had proved be-
yond doubt that after the British
and Americans had invaded Europe
the Soviets would come and would
come to stay
This suspicion, it is declared in
Berlin, is to be allayed by the an
nouncement of the dissolution of the
Comintern.'

The resolution proposed that in

nese forces there into three
groups and the final phase Of
the campaign to reconquer the
island is under way, the Navy
reported today.
The village of Attu, at the head

Enemy Force Wiped Out.
The three separated groups Of
Japanese are located on Chichagof
Harbor in the vicinity of Attu vii
lage, in Chlchagof Valley, which runs
IN a southWesterly direction from
the head of the harbor and on the
north side Of Lake Nicholas. which
is on the north shore of Sarana Bay.
On last Thursday night the Navy
reported. a strong enemy position
on ridge between Sarana and
Massacre Bay was "neutralized,
which was explained as indicating
the force had been wiped out. The
Navy also explained than an enemy
unit which had penetrated Amer-
ican lines was subsequently wiped
out
The location of the forces at this
time would indicate that the Amer
leans have executed two spear
heads through the main Japanese
defense line, which roughly ran in
a northWesterly-so y-southeasterly direc-
ton from Chichagof Harbor to Sa-
rama Bay. thus dividing the enemy
