This means that there is not the slightest reason for the circula- tion of any caucus documents by any group of the Party. 4—Any statement or fact which any comrade cannot or will not make openly in the Party discussion should not be disseminated in our ranks thru any secret or caucus channels. 5—The Polcom calls upon the Party members, regardless of their former group alignments, to discontinue factional methods in the discussion. There is no room or cause for biteerness, prejudice, hostility in our ranks. In order to hasten the unification of our Party we must discuss our problems only in a Communist, in a comradely manner.

WASHINGTON, July 29. — The Federal Trade Commission today ordered an investigation of the con- templated merger of General Motors Corporation, United States Steel Corporation and E. I.

With the view to determine whether the anti-trust law will be violated by such a mer- ger the commission ordered its econ- omie division to make an exhaustive inquiry whether the Du Ponts, al- ready in practical control of General Motors, have purchased 114,000 shares of United States Steel com- mon stock with a view of dominating its affairs. ‘|COMMUNISTPARTY OF CHINA QUITS HANKOW REGIME. Brands New Militarism Enemy of Revolution BULLETIN. HANKOW, July 29.—The spe- cial commission attached to the labor section of the central com- mittee of the Kuomintang has adopted a resolution pointing out of over thirty trade unions, and The commission demands that the central committee of the Kuomin- tang insist on the withdrawal of troops from the premises of trade unions. Such coercion of the unions, de- clares the resolution, runs counter to the recent decisions of the cen- tral committee of the Kuomintang in regard to the protection of labor and peasants’ organizations. From an unknown cause an @&k- plosion occurred in the military stores at Wuchang. Seventy sol- diers were killed and forty wound- ed. The explosion and fire de- stroyed sixty thousand shells valued at half a million dollars, An investigation has been initiated. * * * HANKOW, China, July 29.—The Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party has recalled its representatives from the Wuhan (Hankow) government and has issued a declaration in the course of which it is pointed out: “The policy of the majority of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang in the nationalist government is fatal} for the revolution and make the Wu- | han (Hankow) government the center {of a new militaristic group. The {Communist Party cannot assume re- sponsibility for such a policy, there- } fore the Central Committee has re- !solved to recall its representatives from the Wuhan (Hankow) govern- | ment.

The Communist Party will carry on this struggle together with the truly revolutionary elements of the Kuo- mintang and the Kuomintang masses. “Therefore, the Communists see no reason for leaving the Kuomintang or refusing to cooperate with it. Insofar as Kuomintang leaders and national- ist government will really carry thru a policy of struggle against imperial- ism, militarism and feudal reaction the Communist Party will support this revolutionary struggle. “However, the Communist Party (Continued on Page Two) “Boston Billy” Begins Jail Term.

It calls for the organization of a mass campaign for stopping the imperialist war against China and preventing an imperialist war against the Soviet Union. The Executive Committee of the Communist In- ternational declares: “The August days of 1914 were days ‘of the united front between the socialist parties and the bourgeois governments in the name of im- perialism.
