|| COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL PLENUM British Break With i i i PLANS FIGHT ON (Special to DAILY WORKER) MOSCOW, ‘June 2.—The Political | Secretariat of the Executive Commit-) tee of the Communist International has issued a Bulletin ‘on the Plenary Session of the Executive which has} just closed. The first question dealt with by the Plenary Sessions was the task confronting the Communist In- ternational in the struggle against war, and the danger of war. The Plenary Session pointed out that the principal danger actually is war by he capitalist world, headed by Brit-| ain against the U. S. S. R. and revo-| utionary China. The Plenum exposed the treacher- | ous position of international social} democracy, in the fight against the left wing. The Executive gave a se- cles of directions for a reintensifica- tion of anti-war work by the Com- munist Parties, and ideological organ- izational preparation in the event of | war. Chinese Revolution Changes. On the question of the Chinese revo- | ‘ution, the Plenary Session stated that radical changes had taken place in she correlation of class forces in China, due to the bourgeoisie passing over into the camp of the counter-re- volution and imperialism, the Execu-{ tive recognizing the line of the Com-| munist International, preceding the | lod of revolution in question, as} rorrect, i The admissibility of a bloc of the rational bourgeoisie, as expressed in} the northern expedition, indicated to the Chinese Communists the necessity | of radically modifying their tactics in| the actual supreme stage of the revo- | ution, centering their efforts around | the agrarian revolution, putting forth} slogans developing a mass movement! n the villages. and towns, immediately | arming the workers and peasants, naking the left wing of the Kuomin-j; tang a broad democratic mass organ- | zation, strengthening the Communist | Party and its strict elass line and seeping the Communists within the Kuomintang. The Plenary Session steered in the lirection of making the Wuhan gov-| »rnment and the Kuomintang a revo-! lutionary democratic dictatorship of workers and peasants. The line of} the British Communist Party, as dis-/ ssed in the Plenary Session, is to! onduct propaganda for a General Strike, a struggle against the trade anion bill, and an exposé of war, ref- ormism, and pacifism of all kinds; to rriticise the conduct of the General | Council in the Anglo-Russian Com- mittee. Score Trotzky’s Position. Regarding Trotzky’s and Vuyo- vitch’s speeches on behalf of the op- positional bloc, the Plenary Session adopted the following resolutions: The Executive of the Communist In-} cernational states the line, principles and conduct of Trotsky and Vuyovitch are incompatible with their position as members and deputy members of the | Executive of the Communist Interna-} { tional | Vuyoviteh from the Exe THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JUN 9 y 3, 1927 IMPERIALIST WAR USSR Will Aid U.S. Trade, Says Yonov with the Sovie Soviet trade In spite of the most serious nolitieal situation, the opposition in he All-Union Communist Party fo it possible to launch at the Plenary m finvrecedentedly sharp Britain's brea Union will throw more a < on the All-Union Communist} +> the United States, is the opinion of Party apd, the Communist Tnterna-|7 y, Yonov, vice president and gen- ional, Trotsky and Vuyovitch (the fey, ok the Robstan wax: opposition’s demand that Zinovieff, ; whom the Seventh Plenary Session of ian Tex dicate the Execuitve of the Communist In ; annually more 100,000 ternational relieved of the Chairman-| f American cotton and much textil ship as well as all work in the Comin-| mact “Tyrespective of the Yonov, ern, be allowed to participate in the} yati: Great Britian,” ordinary labors of the Plenary § sion| va vae fade with the OU was rejected, #ll votes against Vuyo-| will increase, but the rupture is bound viteh’s) presented their counter-| to help the United States still more theses on the principal questions in}; the agenda, and distributed to the| session a whole series of their factional documents; n this trade. 1 believe that Germany also will be benefitted in the nt the United Kingdom, through its De own | spoke openly on’ partment of State, breaks off trade behalf of the oppositional bloc, ete.,| relations.” all these documents being full charges!
