REVISION NEEDED

BOLSHEVIK POLICY DISSATISFIED GERMAN By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright BERLIN, Friday. A. merfiber of the Reichstag, Dr. Rosenberg, who is a university lecturer, has resigned from the Communist Party. In explaining his action he says the breakdown of the efforts of the Third (Communist) International in China, following upon the defeat of its efforts in England, show that the organisatio* of the international labou” movement requires drastic revision. The defeats referred to, says Dr. Rosenberg, were due to fundamental errors. The system of Soviet Russia rests upon a compromise between the skilled Russian worker and the peasant owner Russians should therefore be the natural allies of national freedom movements abroad, but non-Russiar. Communists were forced to rely on the poorer and most uncompromising anti-national sections of the Labour Party. This caused intolerable contradictions and failures. Trying simultaneously to work with the British Trades Union Congress, Mr. A. J. Cook, the general secretary of the British Miners’ Federation and the bourgeois Kuomintang workers at Shanghai was bound to bring disaster. The Third International was seri- ; ou3ly damaging Soviet Rusia and the | Labour movement abroad and it i should be dissolved. —A. and N.Z.
