Plans tor World Civil War

MOSCOW COUNCIL OF ALL TIIE REDS. | MOSCOW, Dec. -!. What the Vatican Council was to the members of the Homan Catholic Church throughout the world, so the 4th Congress of the Third International, now sitting in the Throne Room of the Russian Emperors at Moscow, is to the Communists of all lands. This assembly openly incites ils followers in every land save Russia to overthrow not only their whole governmental and economic system and de-

liberately to inaugurate a world-wide civil war of the classes. The Third International’s present Congress contains many foreign representatives, among them Americans, Britons. Frenchmen, Germans, Italians, 1 American Negroes, Japanese, and the deputies of Communist- parties in most of the smaller countries of Europe. They are organised in a very busi-ness-like manner. Their method of procedure is like a legislative assembly. Their programme of work is printed in the principal European languages. The rules under wliieh they work ure carefully drawn up. A boll rings when work begins. Speeches are taken down bv expert stenographers ami afterwards printed in a Russian Hansard by the Soviet Government. The great banqueting ball of the palace lias lieen tinned, for tlinir oonvenieme. into a live restaurant. Ibex are tiie guests ol the Russian Government. which has printed for their convenience excellent little guide-books in German. French, and English. Ihoie is an information bureau in each ol the Comintern’s hotels and also ill the Kremlin. There are even languagegroups with seven group-secretariats, each working under the Secretariat of til,, Comitern (Communist International). and this arrangement enables the directors of the Congress to t p..,| uitb languages, excluding the languages of the .Middle East and the 1 |.’ar East, lor which there arc separate, Hl*n ups.

The Bolshevik leaders seem to onsitler the formation of a strong Communist party in Western Europe as their most serious task, and their most interesting task. Internationalists all of them, without a tincture of national , feeling, they are far more on their j mettle before American. British, j French, and German “comrades" than j before mere llu-sian clodhoppers, for j whom they probably entertain a secret j contempt. The conquest of the Kremlin is not enough for them: they also want to see the red flag wave over Potsdam, over Versailles, and over Buckingham Pa.lace.
