hearing panel of the board has
its answer beyond the shadow
of a doubt.
The two-member panel of
Kathryn McHale and Peter
Campbell Brown found the Com
munist Party in America to be
a mere 'puppet of the Soviet
Union" that is directed, dom
mated and controlled by the
Soviet Union" and that strives
necessarily to make the United
States a Soviet America"
The hearing panels recon-

is now before the four-member
board for final determination.
Should the board uphold it's

party would be forced to reg

Plot at Peak in 1894.
The most striking evidence of
the orders from Moscow which
sought to carry out Stalin's plot
occurred in the depression year
of 1884. From the voluminous
testimony before the board, the
story can best be told in narra-
tive form.
It began one May day in 1884
when a necktie with a small
piece of silk sewed inside was
handed to an American Nathan
ial Honig in New York. Honig,
one Of the Governments wit
nesSes before the S.C.A.B., was a
member of the Community party
from 1927 to 1889.
The donor of the neckpiece
was Jacob Golos. a Russian who
headed the World Tourist
Agency, the United States blind
for the Kremlin'S dread world
wide secret police.
With this ~necktie passport"
to the Soviet Union and 5000
given him by the treasurer of
the American Communist party,
Honig set sail for Russia. trans
ferring in England to a Russian
ship bound for Leningrad.
San Francisco Strike Followed.
Two months later a general
strike suddenly paralyzed San
Francisco, isolating the docks
and bringing that great port city
to it's knees.
No one saw Honig embark
from New York on a seemingly
innocent journey would have
connected his sailing with the
crushing blow which felled San
Francisco eight weeks later.
Yet the two events were directly
linked-by Moscow. The big San
Francisco general strike, Honig's
testimony shows. was conceived
and planned in Moscow in the
presence Of Honig. The directive
ordering the strike went straight
from Moseow's Comintern Build-
ing to American Communist:
Party headquarters in New York
via secret cable code.
An official of the Communists
Trade Union Unity League here,
Honig went to Russia as a dele
gate to the Red international of
Labor Unions and to study and
teach at the Lenin institute of
Moscow. incubator for global Red
revolution
"CACOHACu W RuSSlds
Welcomed to the Soviet Union
with his concealed piece of silk,
Honig surrendered his passport
to LaSovSky, secretary of the Red
international. They promptly
plunged into a round of con-
ferenceS.
First mention of a possible
strike call in San Francisco came
from LasovSky, who poured over
reports indicating that the Com
munlSt Party had inflltrated
Frisco waterfront unions with a
high degree of success. The Red
high command ordered amplified
reports from America.
The prospects of closing down
San Francisco seemed so bright
that the Comintern (the Com
muniSt International where Sta
lin sat as the key member of
the executive committee) be-
came interested and the con-
ferences switched to rooms in
the Comintern building.
A. Mangulin and Mehring,
both officials of the Comintern
secretariat, argued for the
Frisco strike. Finally the pro-
ject received the stamp of ap-
proval from Dimitri z. Manu-
ilSky, secretary general of the
Comintern.
Reds Feared William Green.
Communists leaders expressed
fears before Honig that the late
