To Foment Civil War

RUSSIANS MUST BE READY More Wild Talk at Moscow (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) Times Cable. Reed. 11.10 a.m. LONDON. Thursday. THE Moscow correspondent of “The Times” states that M. N. Bukharin, editor of “Pravade,” in opening the Young Communists’ International (some members of which are grey-headed), in the Grand Theatre at Moscow, said the Soviet was convinced that they would soon be called on for active civil war in various countries.

Those without war experience must listen to their nevolutionary seniors, who would teach them to blow up the capitalist world. A detachment of cavalrymen with sacred banners marched to the stage, headed by a divisional commander, who reported their readiness for action. The chairman read an oath, which delegates from Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Australia repeated with raised fists, swearing to mobilise the toiling youth in all countries and pre-

pare soldiers to defend the Soviet and destroy the bourgeoisie, and thus accomplish a world revolution. Young negroes and Chinese promised to organise vengeance against their oppressors. Rebecca Buting, a South African delegate, pointed out to the congress the danger of its South African pro gramme, which demands a black republic such as would jeopardise the white toilers, because the natives are not counterpoised by a black bourgeoisie.
