INTRODUCTION
This, the fifth report in the sories "International Communist
Movements," covers the period 1 flay 1949 - 1 September 1949. The
following comments point out the more significant developments
noted during the current period.
Vii; 3TINCS

established. Whether or not these latter departments will be founded-at
"constituent conferences" or in a more infernal fashion is not kern.,rn at
present. The importance, however, of reporting on "constituent conferences"
si:-:ilar t^ those hold during the current period, is emphasized; The new
international trade departments may play a major role in the organization and
support of international strike movements directed against the Wostorn economy.
It is apparent that emphasis has been placed by the Communist
Parties on a more efficient international coordination of their
auxiliary organizations in the labor union field. The 10th Congress
of Soviet Trade Unions (see S-Morro 453) was heavily attended by
foreign delo ate"s. The Trade Union Congress in Warsaw (1-5 Juno 1949)
furnished another occasion for informal discussions, and the Second
World Congress of the ',?*PU, preceded by a meeting of the ^fl I Executive
'Committoe (Milan, June 19+9), assembled Communist labor leaders from all
parts of the world. The emphasis on coordination of Communist dominated
labor unions, however, is illustrated chiefly by the program launched
by WFTU during the current period, involving the establishment of
international trade departments of the ddFTU. These trade departments
are to be orgn ized on a functional basis embracing national unions in
related industries which may be affiliated with international labor
organizations hostile to the now completely Soviet-Communist controlled
WFTU. Several such international trade departments were created at
constitutent conferences held during the current period, viz., Fur and
Leather Workers; Textile Workers; Metal Workers; Wood, Building, and
Construction Workers; Miners; Seamen and Harbor Workers, and T.achers
(see Meeting section). By the end of the year, departments for
Petroleum, Transport (excluding maritime workers), Farming and Forest,
Food, Post and Telegraph, Radio and Chemical Industries are to be
The orgeo.iz^tional effectiveness of the international nea.co campaign
appeared to decline. jn X11--Union Conference of the Partisans if Ponce (also
referred to as "Congress of the Friends of the Soviet Union") was hold in
Moscow in August 1949, and several foreign delegates attended. No ether
international meeting of significance was held. 7fforts to convene the long
postponed Pence Congress for Latin America were directed toward Mexico City where
a Continental Congress finally came off in September 1949 without appreciable
propaganda effects,
c. National Congresse,s.and.Conferances
The 9th National Congress of OP Czechoslovakia (Prague, May 1949) was
the most important Party affair during the period covered. It was distinguished
by the presence of G. ILKOV, member of the Politburo/CPSU; SUSLOV, member of
the Secretariat/CPSU, and P. YUDIN, presumably still chief editor of the Cominform
Journal. Unconfirmed reports claimed that a Cominform meeting was held at the
occasion of the Congress but no substantiating evidence was obtainable. In its
overt pronouncements, the Congress seemed to be less concerned with-matters
affecting the international Communist movement than with the internal affairs of
CP Czechoslovakia.
Several Congresses were held in Latin America (Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia),
but their international significance appeared to be reduced furnishing an

occasion to bring together a few Latin American leaders -- there were no
delegates froi_ other continents.
There are no indications at present that CPSU is ready to convene
its long overdue 19th Party Congress. It is aLmsir that OPSU, a stickler
for "doiocratic contralisL1 when it comes to foreign Parties, disregards
Party democracy at horieo
C. Travel to Prague
Prague continued to be the destination point for "unexplained"
trips. fia.rin- the current period, such trios -)ririnated particularly
in Belgium and Den ark.
d. Coz-inforu, Meetings
Several Coriinform meetings were rtiiored but none are believed to
have been held.
TRAVEL HOV;cMMM .dTS
The volume of individual movements increased considerably during the
current period.. One thousand one hundred forty-one (1l41) items were
recorded as compared with six hundred fifty-seven (657) items in the last
report (S-iieno p53). However, this increase concerns overt trnvol only,
anc. illustrates aeroly amore extensive representation of various Parties
at interne aonal meetings. (Sao, for instance, the travel of delegates from
the USSR to the various constituent conferences cf the ?a1I"?U trade
doparti,onts).
a. Travel to the USSR
The influx of forei m Communists into the USSR decreased. The
May Day Celebrations, the Pushkin Anniversary, (June 1949), and the
Moscow Peace Congress (magus: 1949) furnished the chief occasions for
foreign delegates to visit the USSR overtly. However, the number of
foreign visitors was comparatively small,
b, oviot Delegates to Nat,anal Congresses Abroad
The presence of id. A. SUSLOV at the 9th Congress of CP Czechoslovakia
further supports the observation -lade in S-Mono #53 to the effect that
SUSLOV, a i-;ember of the Secretariat /CPSU, may specialize in the direction
of foreign Parties.
