Bolshevik Comment

The Third or Communistic Internationale issued an appeal to the world proletariat, particularly to that of Britain.

It warned the British proletariat that the Bolshevik Tree cannot yield good proletarian fruit until the capitalists are ousted from power. It demanded mass meetings to demonstrate in favor of the complete independence of Ireland, India, Egypt, credits for Russian nationalization of railways and mines, relief of unemployment, labor control of all sources of wealth, scrapping of the Versailles Treaty, abolition of armament.

The Izvestia and the Pravda, Moscow Communist journals, the latter of which is the official organ of the Communist Party, referred to British "baseless insinuations," to "countless Colonial slaves," and berated British Premier Macdonald for "opposing the Hindu revolutionaries" and for "taking a false step in mentioning Russia's debts".
