 The workers of Canada have had biter experiences of traitors posing as socialists and radicals of various stripes. One of the immediate tasks of the league shall be the complete exposure of all these renegades, so that there shall be no misunderstanding of the relations existing between the league and them.

The class struggle is a political struggle, and the league will strive to give every conflict a political aspect. While politically bound to England and economically rivetted to the United States, Canada still functions as an economic and political entity.

ONSIDERING the objective conditions resulting from the disunity of the Czecho-Slovakian labor movement, and the eighteen months' experience of the One Big Union of Czecho-Slovakia in the organization of a revolutionary union movement, the Third Congress of the R. I. L. U. favors the further application of this organizational form for the unification and direction of the Czecho-Slovakian revolutionary movement, provided, however, the One Big Union modifies its organizational line in the following manner:
