COMMUNIST PARTY
SOVIET’S PURGES DEFENDED. INFLUENCE IN BRITISH COUNTRIES. MOSCOW, March 12. The Comintern Secretary, M. Manuilsky, reported to the Congress of the Communist Congress that the Comintern membership in capitalist countries is 1,200,000; also 764,000 young Communists. He added that the British Communist Party was the weakest in the world, despite its member of 18,000, and its increasing influence in trades union and labour circles. Stalin, dealing with internal affairs of the Soviet territories, claimed that the purges had actually strengthened Russia. The Cfiangkufeng fighting had demonstrated this, he said. He declared that the last traces of the exploiting classes had now been eliminated, and that the Soviet people were completely united.
