SOVIET PROPAGANDA.

COMMUNISM IN GERMANY. NO PROGRESS IN ENGLAND. THE PROLETARIAN REVOLT. (Kj- Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright. i deceived 11 a.m.) RIGA, November 16. Describing the progress of Communism us world-wide, Zinovieff, Soviet Finance Commissary, at the Communist International Congress, said it wa-s making noteworthy progress in Australia and Germany, but Britain. France, Italy, and America were unsatisfactory. Perhaps the worst was Britain, where notwithstanding great unemployment and destitution. Communism was developing asfounditigly slow. The executive's special <luty in future would be to dirq:t considerably moie attention to Britain than hitherto. In Germany the movement was soundly established, ami the German Communist party was one of the soundest organised. Numerically it was stronger than the Bolsheviks were in 1017, when they had 250,000 members. j Decisive events in Germany may advance jinore quickly than is generally expected, i The .course of the proletarian revolution lies from Russia through Germany. We must expect new wars and new revolutionary struggles. Approving LVI. Zinovieff's report, the Congress oassed a resolution that the decisions of the International's executive should be binding on all countries. Lenin, in a soeec-li. declared that the prospects of world revolution were becoming not only eood, but even brilliant. (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
