BOLSHEVIK FEARS.
A COUNTER-REVOLUTION. LEADER APPEALS FOR UNITY. A. and N.Z. MOSCOW, Aug. 10. The chairman of the Third (Communist) International, Bucharin, in a report submitted to a plenary session of the organisation referred to the strained relations between Britain and Russia in connection with Britain's " military intervention " in China. Bucharin indicated. that he foresaw a danger of a counter-revolutionary war against Russia. He said the only factors against it were the differing interests of the capitalistic groups and the opposition to war of the working classes. These, however, would merely postpone a conflict. They did not eliminate its inevitability. Russia must practise a peace policy and by so doing strengthen the Soviet Union. She must agree to make economically reasonable concessions to capitalist countries, while at the same time repressing the factional activities of the Russian Opposition Party. Bucharin demanded a cessation of the dissensional activities of tho members of the Opposition, including Trotzky, Zinovieff, Kameneff and Rakowskv, and their promise to loyally support the Soviet against imperialism and in the defence of the Soviet under the present Central Committee.
