Soviet Admit Defeat

Press Concerned Regarding the Genoa Conference The leaders of the Third Internationale have decided to admit openly the failure of their efforts to incite the "workers of the world" to overthrow the "capitalist" arid imperialist' Governments of their respective countries, in order to establish a ''dictatorship of the proletariat," and create a "paradise on earth" after the example of famine and disease-stricken, dying Russia.

The Soviet Government-controlled papers (and this after the denial by the Soviet Government, in answer to the Marquess of Curzon's Note, that it has anything in common with the Third Internationale), publish a Jong manifesto, addressed by the Communist Internationale to "the workers of all countries," in which MIN. Zinovieff, Radek, and Ca. admit that only a very insignificant part of the world-proletariat has rallied under Moscow's banners.
