Mr. Ghose found individual labor leaders in California ready to con- demn the discrimination against Hindus, but officially the State Fede- ration of Labor has* not advocated equal opportunity for Hindu workers. Immigration of Hindus to the Uni- ted States has almost ceased since the Immigration Act of 1917 went into effect.

Dr. Warbasse was reelected by the Con- gress\to the Central Committee of the International Cooperative Alliance. The \report of the Executive Com- mittee brought out many controver- sial topies and vigorous differences developed \between the Russian dele- gates an het of the Congress. The most. 5] disagreement cen- tered about the resolution on world peace presented by the British dele- gation. The Russians offered an amendment calling for support to all mass action or strikes against war and for recognition of the identity of pan of the labor and cooperative movements, but their amendment was defeated.\The British women also |made a special appeal that the Con- lgress vote to offer “complete resist- |ance to the declaration and prosecu- tion of wars” by all national govern- | ments; but this clause was deleted.

Therefore the Presidium of the executive comntittee of the International Communist Youth appeals to all sections of the International Communtist Youth to study thoroughly all resolutions of the plenum and support Lenin’s line of a Bolshevik Party. War Aagainst Soviet Union. The probing stone which tested the platform of the Opposition in its talks| about Theremidore was a question of impending world wars of imperialism. against the Soviet Union. Ageusing the leaders of the party of regenera- tion, of having attributed the latter desire and conduct on impending war, union of the. new bourgeoisie of town) and village the Opposition objectively| placed under doubt the proletarian nature of the impending war on the, part of the Soviet Union. | In connection with the war menace} the Opposition put forward in the} first place not the unconditional de- fense of the Soviet Union and joining for this purpose of all the power of the Party and proletariat, but the de- pending upon factional struggle to in-| YOUNG COMMUNIST SUPPORTS SOVIET UNION POLICIES tional bourgeoisie and social demo-} INTERNATIONAL 2.—The Presidium of the Exec-. ytive Committee of the International Communist Youth has: adopted a resolution on the results of the united plenum of the Central Committee and Central Control Commission of the Com= munist Party of the Soviet Union. The resolution declares that the? ~~ was perfectly clear and undisputably; established that the process of oust~ ing private capital by state and co-i toperative trade continues and that so-! \cialist industry continues increasing, \its importance in the entire national) economy, proving that the wages of the proletariat has, been considerably augmented during the past year. i Regeneration Leadership. Pointing out indignantly the accu~ sation of the regeneration leadership, of the proletarian dictatorship that has caught up by all foes, the Soviet’ Union Presidium appeals to all sec- tions of the Communist International of Youth to disclose this calumny and to explain to the masses the necessity of the unconditional end absolute de- fense of the Soviet Union as, the country developing socialism, as the place that arms the world’s revolu- tion. Sharing the views of the plenum on the basic tactical questions of the Chinese resolution particularly, and the necessity of a bloa with the na- tional bourgeoisie, the Presidium‘ con- siders that the opposition distorts Len- in’s teaching on the bourgeoisie and democratic revolutions in colonial countries and violates the Cominterns point adopted jointly with them. Against Organization Line. The Presidium of the executive committee of the Internatitnal Com- munist Youth with particular indigna- tion rejects the organization line of the opposition as shaking the regime of the proletariaiidictatorship and the unity~of“the Communist Party and the Communist International. An appeal to all non-Party citizens for support of the mongrel anti- Comintern Party of Maslov and Ruth Fisher is part of the opposition pro- gram and signifies the renouncement of all principles-of Bolshevism. Act in the self-defense of the Com- munist movement and the absolute ne- cessity of a resolute struggle against fractionary activity of the opposition in the Communist Party, also other sections of the Communist Interna- tional. This struggle is imperative. erease their fight for power inside the Party and the Soviet state. ' Undermine | Basis. Thus the Opposition began to under- | mine the basis of the international policy of the proletariat, the neces-, sity of unconditional and absolute de-; fense of the existing proletarian dic- tatorship. i The Trotzkyist fraction was inevit-| ably. destined to suffer ideologic! bankruptcy on this road which was saliently demonstrated at the united plenum. The Opposition platform was de- feated at the plenum also by actual facts of the economic position of the} Soviet Union. The elements of Marx-| ism demanded from the Opposition an attempt to found their thesis about} the increasing regeneration tactics in company with an analysis of the eco- nomic development of the Soviet Union. However, the Opposition did! not even attempt to prove seriously | its unbased affirmations at the plen- Place the interest of Communism ) above. personal sympathies to separate ‘leaders, above sentimental historical reminiscences of their former merits. Defeated Ideologically. The opposition defeated ideologi- cally and surrounded by the indigna- tion of the party masses made declar- ations at the plenum renouncing the accusatior \that the party leadership is termidorianism, organization con- ‘nection with German regenerates, fractionary work, The sincerity declaration of the op- position is born from the experience of former “peaceful declaration.” The opposition later transformed it into a serap of paper. The future will show whether the opposition will be able to fuifill its promise of assistance to the party of the Soviet Union, confronted with formidable danger. Meanwhile thi object of the International Commun- ist Youth is the ideological revela- of the opposition platform and watch- um as at that time to the plenum it fulness in respect to fractionary work. ‘War Veterans in Ay; Ss. \insist upon the close collaboration of | iAs Legion Plans Orgy |". political, industrial and economic organizations of the working class. | 4 “See Russia for Yourself’ Carry on the Fight for which Sacco, Vanzetti Gave Their Lives Here Is My Tribute to The Memory of Sacco, Vanzetti. 83 First St., New York, N. ¥. “ i j ht, for which they hb ive Soviet Union ight, Aor Waly, they heyerei ven dollars as tribute | (Actual Hadtaa mee coneabatae koctats SCREW-CAP TYPE the Datly Worker carry on the $1.25 Sent. by Insured Mail for $1.50 | (Continued from Page One) approval of the rank and file of the veterans of the world war.

French Workers Not Fooled. The French soldiers who fought thru the World War and lived thru the disillusions that awaited the work- ers of all countries at the close of the struggle will not give the legionnaires a very warm reception.
