Union unity and the desperate en- deavours of the other Amsterdam leaders to whitewash him were very instructive. The isolation and the defeat of the British leaders is the result of their characterless policy in the last few years by which they declared lip-ser- vice to the cause of international unity, but sabotaged unity in prac- tice.

No phrases of the British delegates in Paris can remove the consequences of these two previous years. They meant that the British leaders were! not able to appear in Paris with a clear and definite program and that in consequence their conflict with the majority degenerated simply into a fight for seats and positions. These lessons of the Amsterdam International Congress in Paris can only be applied if the most active elements of the working class realize the real significance of the British defeat and if mass pressure is brought to bear upon the General Council to force it to put its words in Paris about solidarity with the Russian workers into action in an immediate campaign for International Trade Union unity without waiting for the Edinburgh congress which in any case would certainly prefer to hear of such an action than of attacks upon Russia. An obviously necessary step is the conveneing of the Anglo- Russian Committee to discuss joint action against the danger of war which is threatening the workers of all countries, and in particular against the attacks of the British imperialists upon the Soviet Union. The confer- ence of the Minority Movement in Great Britain which is to take place this month will give a splendid op- portunity for a tremendous demon- stration of the will of the British proletariat to unity.
