AMERICAN COMMUNISTS.
REVOLUTIONARY PROGRAMME SUCCESSOR TO I.W.W. Australian end N.Z. Cable Association. (Recti. 8.40 p.m.) NEW YORK. Dec. 25. The Workers' Party of America, which claims a membership of 300,0C0 and asserts that it is the successor of the I.W.W. in America, at a convention here adopted a programme calling for the dictatorship of the proletariat in the United States and the substitution of a Soviet Ciovernment for the present Government. The programme, both in text and spirit, is the most revolutionary presented by any organisation in the United States for many years. One clause calls for the support of the Moscow International, and endorses propagation within labour unions in order to bring them within the folds of communism.
