The great difficulty which confronts TENT INLINE-A regule service, le ran from international Socialism is the division of movement into two camps as a result of the Russian revolution. Bolshevism tried to establish, not only over Russia. but over every other country in the world, the method of seizing political power by farmed force, holding that power by the same means, and changing the whole economic structure of society by decree and suppression. Obviously every Socia list who has any international instinct at

Counsel proceeded to read quotations from the articles which had been the sub-all will see that an International based ject of the charges which resulted in the sentence, calling particular attention to what he characterised as attempts to stimulate disaffection in the lower deck of the Navy, to create a revolutionary army for the overthrow of Parliament, and the paralysing of industry, as well as the advocacy of the looting of docks and bonded warehouses by the dockers. He said the appeal was on two grounds; first. that she was not guilty of the offence; and, second, that the sentence was altogether too severe.

Counsel called police evidence in sup- port of the conviction, one of whom, Sorgeant Fortor, produced & certificate of a previous conviction of the defendant at Eckington, Derbyshire, in October, 1918, for an offence against Regulation 42. when she was fined £50, and special costa were imposed.

Miss Pankhurst: Are you aware that the Miners' Federation subscribed the amount of the fine, and threatened to strike if I wore sent to prison?

Moreover, the attempts made by Moscow to contro national organisations, not only in genersi Socialist policy but in the details for their own national work. must prevent every such organisation with any self-respect nad. any sense of national freedom from putting itself under such a yoke.

If, therefore, we ask for a united International upon a more liberal brais than that demanded by Moscow, we do so because we are convinced that Moscow possesses neither the breadth nor the stability to maintain an International, We ourselves desire to keep in the closest organic touch with our comrades in every other land, but we mast décline Moscow conditions and Moscow methods as the price of that co-operation. There must be no doubt as to the basis upon which a Socialist International has to be built.
