COMMUNIST PARTY

M. Stalin’s Reply TO LABOUR' OPPONENTS. RUGBY, May 29. M. Stalin, 'in a statement to a news agency correspondent in Moscow, said that the dissolution of the Communist International “facilitates the organisation of common attack by all freedom-loving nations on the common enemy.” It facilitated the fusion of “progressive forces,” regardless of party or religion, into “a smgle camo of liberation.” This unity, M. Stalin believes, will clear the wav to the future organisation of an equal comradeship of nations. Moreoxei, the abolition of the Comintern destroys the enemy argument that Moscow intends to intervene in the i e of other nations and to bolsnvis. them.
