The Position of the Parties in England (Continued from preceding page.) munist Party. Right into the autumn of 1923 it was undergoing structural transformation, making a first at- tempt to apply the Third Congress de- cisions of the Comintern, During the whole of this period it hardly managed to hold tts own members. New mem- bers joined the Party but old ones left as quickly. The whole of this activity has been in the midst of tremendous depression in the ranks of the working class, Still further changes were made as a result of the conference of the party executive with the Comin- tern BE. C. in the middle of last year. It was not until the beginning of 1924 that it was possible for the develop- ments then agreed upon to get moving. The main lines agreed upon were sound but it will take time for them to show the results we are after. During the last eighteen months the party has concentrated so much on or- ganization and the development of the circulation of the party paper, tried so hard to transform itself in terms of a paper scheme that the membership be- came tired. It needed new inspiration and enthusiasm. It was complained that the Executive was out of contact with the members and there was good grounds for the complaint. There had been no party conference for months. more than a year. It had been put off time and again. Finally we held a conference. Snags were removed. Pre- parations made for a Party Congress were afoot. The whole political situa- tion changed and brought new vitality in the fight. And the Party has begun to grow. But we have still to face the char- acteristic failing of the British move- ment as a whole, We have got to get past the stage of the purely prop- agandist party, conducting general propaganda, and become a Political party of struggle. For this we need also a toning up of the quality of the party, the development of its ‘theo- retical equipment, in order to be able to diagnose correctly the significance of the political events that are unfold- ing and to deal with them concretely and with revolutionary purpose. All this will take time and require pa- tience and persistence. But one thing is certain: That the party was never in a better condition than it is today, and it was never faced with greater opportunities for development. The position of the parties is such that the two capitalist parties, the Liberals and the Tories, are still in turmoil and unable to take decisive action, and the Labor Party has begun to reveal to the masses of the workers concretely the meaning of “gradual- ism,” while the ‘Communist Party has become the one center to which the workers can turn as their eyes are opened to the great illusion.
