BOLSHEVIST METHODS.

CAMPAIGN OF TEERIOEISM. •SECESSION. SENSATION. {From Our Own Correspondent.) LONDON. April 16. The South American delegates to the Third .International in Moscow, on arrival in. Paris from the Russian capital, caused a great sensation by announcing their secession from the International. The delegates confirm the recently-alleged Moscow plot to start a terrorist campaign throughout the world. The leaders of the Communist International in Moscow, they - declare, have been forging hige sums of foreign money for the purposes of Red propaganda, and have decided to promote terrorism throughout Europe, Asia, and America. The delegates, who recently participated in the conference ot the Third International, have communicated the text of their accusation to the Posslednija Novosti, the Russian paper published in Paris under the editorship of Professor M. Miliukoff. the distinguished ex-Foreign Minister of the first Provisional Government formed during the Russian revolution of 1917. They state that they have decided to secede from the Third International for the following reasons: — OPPOSED TC MARXISM. The recent policy of the Committee for Foreign Propagan a of the Third International is becoming more and more o - posed to the principles of the old school of Marxism, because those responsible for this policy—Zinovieff, Radek, and their associates—are conducting affairs in a criminal and self-seeking manner. I’he main objections of the South American representatives are:— 1. The dictatorship of the executive of the Comintern over all foreign Communist organisations; 2. The source of income of the treasury of the financial . -ction of Hie Committee for Foreign Propaganda: and 3. The system of individual terror which was decided upon at the secret meeting of the Committee for Foreign Propaganda on January 8 last, and which is in direct contradiction to the iarty programme. FALSIFICATION OF FOREIGN MCNEYS. “We refer,” the ’'•'egatirn declares, “to the policy of technical support given to the falsification of foreign moneys in all the countries of Europe during 1921-1926. The total sum of foreign moneys as falsified under the technical management of Moscow amounti to 180,000,000 F.ench francs, of which 69,000,000 have been used for propaganda abroad. All these facts of the policy of Zinovieff, Raaek, and their associates compel every honest Communist to forget for a time the road to Moscow.” According to the Pravda, the official organ of the Russian Communist party, when the Austrian Communist delegation, at present on a visit to Russia, bluntly asked Zinovieff as to the truth of those rumours, Zinovieff replied: “We are not angels.”
