This con- cludes the publication of the joint report made to the congress by Nicholas Bukharin and Thalheimer. In future issues we shall report the discussion and decisions on this re- port. Thalheimer said: *e * E also reported upon the various types of countries. It had been decided similarly by the Fourth Con- gress that this description of the dif- ferent countries should be made as an introduction to the national pro- grams, and that it should be made from the point of view of revolution- ary strategy, of the conquest of poli- tical power. Comrade Varga spoke on this subject, and has also submitted a draft of the descriptions.

One of the best meetings was held in Portland, Oregon, where 200 work- ers showed their keen interest in the Communist message by remaining un- til the end of the meeting, 10:30; the comrades later voted it one of the best meetings in recént months.

Views of Our Readers N. D. Farmers for Communists. To the DAILY WORKER — The statement is often “made that the farmer is not ready for Communism. Well, let’s see how that holds up against what happened in Williams County, North Dakota. At the convention of the Non-Parti- san League, Andred Arnholt for sher- iff at the June Primary recived very vote, total votes 50. Ben Fedge for County Treasurer received 27 out of 40 and A. C. Miller for House of Rep- resentatives received the highest vote of all. More Communist propaganda among the farmers showing up LaFollette’s past record will soon end his influence. ‘What we need is more literature show- ing up LaFollette. Harvest has just started. Threshing will be on in about two weeks. Then ‘We are going to use some of the bankers’ money for the campaign of Foster and Gitlow.—A. C. Miller. Cail on Workers to Write. To the DAILY WORKER:—I would suggest that the DAILY WORKER carry more word pictures of Com- First, the aspect of economic de- |velopment, including the following three questions: 1. Whether a coun- try may be expected to develop fur- ther under the capitalistic system or not; 2. Whether a given country has already reached its highest stage of development, or passed it; 3... The problem of the Soviet States where the proletariat has already seized power, and broken down the capital- istic framework. Secondly, the classification of coun- tries according as to whether they are the exploiters or the exploited in imperialistic politics; whether they are partially or wholly independent of the great imperialistic powers. Thirdly, the class structure of the various countries, and the relative strength of the various classes in each country, of course, with special reference to the working class. Attitude Toward Second International. During the discussion special stress was laid upon one point which is im- portant for us in defining our own standpoint in distinction to that of the Second International, namely the fact that one must very carefully dif- ferentiate the development of a coun- try from the point of view of revo- lutionary strategy, from its develop- ment from the point of view of Social- ism. The aspects which determine the transition to Socialism are not the same as those which determine the transition to revolution. In tonsider- ing the question of the transition to Socialism, the important features are the technical and economic stage of industrial development, the degree of centralization, and the proportionate strength of industrial in relation to that of other non-capitalistic forms of production in the same country. A typical instance of the way in which these two points of vlew can be confused, is provided by Kautsky, and showed itself in a» particularly blatant way in his treatment of the question of the Russian revolution. For in Russia we can see, with the greatest clearness, the difference be- tween the two aspects. Russia Far in Advance. Where revolutionary development was concerned, our experiences have shown that Russia was far in ad- vance of all other countries. But as 800n as political power had been con- TH quered, it soon became evident that Russia was backward, where the evo- lution of Socialism was concerned. These two circumstances are closely related to one another. The com- parative backwardness and lack of economic development in Soviet Rus- sia, i.je} the large proportion of pea- sants ‘to industrial workers, produced the peculiar character of our revolu- tion, namely the union of the prole- tariat with the peasants. It was this union which made the country ripe for revolution, and it is also this un- ion which is producing the greatest difficulties in the present period of transition to Socialism. To turn now ‘to the agrarian ques- tion. The commission received a de- tailed report on the agrarian program in its relation to the general program. Lenin’s theses on the agrarian ques- tion at the Second Congress, and the theses of the Fourth Congress, were taken as a foundation. The points discussed were the following: The attitude which should be adopt- ed towards fhe various bourgeois pro- jects for agrarian reform, such as that of dividing up large estates for the benefit of poor peasants, The ques- tion was asked, what should be the attitude of the Communist program to bourgeois plans of this kind? The Communist Parties cannot af- ford to take up an attitude of neutrali- ty or of opposition to plans of this kind, least of all when they have al- ready gained a hold on the masses; but neither must they be dragged along at the heel of a movement of this kind, they must take up the only possible attitude, which is*to drive such movements further forward, and to put forward demands which will force them on towards revolution. For instance, in relation to the bourgeois schemes for agrarian reform, the de- mand should without any compensa- tion being paid for it to the owners of the large estates. It is typical of all these bourgeois projects of agrar- ian reform that the division of land is never suggested except in exchange for compensation. We must hold firm- ly in our program to the demand that distribution of land should always take place without compensation. Study Slow and Fast Tempo. It was further discussed whether this attitude was equally suitable to a slow and a fast revolutionary tem- po, whether it was required because a slowing down in the tempo of revo- lution had been accepted. The com- mision decided here that this was not the case. The fact that we are obli- ged to oin in these movements is dictated by the reVolutionary situa- tion itself. Then the question of small and large scale farms was dis- cussed, with special reference to the views represented by revisionists like David. Superficially it might appear that by supporting the division of land at the present moment, we were approaching, in some respects, the point of view of these revisionists. but that is not the case. We look at things from the point of view of revo- lutionary strategy. David looks at them from the point of view of re- formist politics. We define our own attitude by declaring that we take our whole stand on the necessity for large scale farming. In agriculture as in other forms of production, we aim at the development of large-scale pro- duction. This means of course, that we do everything that is possible, po- litically and economically for this end, but we must lay stress upon it as our fundamental standpoint, because it is the standpoint necessary for the de- velopment of Socialism. E DATE Y / WORKER Then hater point which is of a certain amount of importance among Social Democrats. You are aware that among the Social Democrats the antagonism which exists between .the urban worker as purchaser, and the peasant as seller of food, has been made much of in the last+years. And the stress laid upon this antagonism was a means towards uniting the ur- ban worker withthe bourgeoisie against the smaller peasantry. What have we to say about this? Of course we have to admit that antagonism between the worker and the peasant does exist, where the price of food is concerned. But the difference between the worker as purchaser and the pea- sant as seller of food is nothing in comparison to that antagonism be- tween the workers and the peasants together on one side and the great capitalists and big landlords together on the other. Thus far we can sub- mit false views of the Social Demo- crats, to a thoro revision. Raise Land Nationalization. The question of land nationaliza- tion, and the part it sliould play in our program was also discussed. With regard to the nationalization of large estates there is nothing to be discussed. The only question that arises is as to how far the principle of nationalization should be extended. Should it be extended to small and medium-sized properties? On this question the commission decided to leave the matter open, and not to mention the nationalization of small and medium-sized -properties, but to indicate in the program that profit- eering and speculation in land should be prohibited by law. To elucidate this further, let me point out that with regard to small and medium-sized properties, one can exercise the same control by different legal methods. One can extend the principle of na- tionalization by law to the small and medium-sized properties, and declare that the peasant is not the owner of his land, but is permitted to enjoy on- ‘ly the use of it, thus limiting his pow- ers of selling it or giving it away. Or one can say just the opposite, as in the German agrarian program, i. e. that the possessions of these poor and middle peasantry, will not be touched, and the one can add all sorts of legal restriction preventing buying, selling, giving away, or inheriting land. We have indicated the latter method as the most suitable one in general, because in the west of Eu- rope the conception which the small and middle peasantry have of prop- erty is far more deeply rooted than was the case in Russia,” Then, comrades, there is still the national question. The features of the national question were also ex- plained by Lenint and cleared up in the theses of our international con- gresses. I will not mention the points thus settled; I will mention only the points which were discussed in the Program Commission. There were two essential points. Fist, how far shall the Communist Parties of ap- pressed nationalities make use of the right which our program gives them for national self-determination even to the point of secession; that is, how far or under what circumstances shall they apply this program slogan prac- tically and politically? Well, com- rades, the point of view which must serve as our criterion can only be a general point of view—that the na- tional ponts of view must be entirely subjected, under all circumstances) to the point of view of the international class struggle. All these various ques- tions must be contretely solved from CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, WORKERS PARTY, REBUKES WRONG POLICIES IN PRINTERS’ UNION munistic factories, agricultural com- Tunes and a co-operative system of distribution. We must instill our Communistic principles into the minds of the peo- ple. Therefore, let every worker, who can express himself, contribute to our educational program.

Directions to the picnic: Follow Santa Monica Beach road to first new concrete bridge—its just the other side of bridge. this point of view. Take Up Self Determination. The second question was. whether the slogan of the right of self-deter- mination was sufficient for the solu- tion of all national questions. It was pointed out that a number of nation- al questions existed in countries, like the United tates, wnere there is an extraordinarily mixed population; which shows that the slogan of the right of self-determination cannot solve all national questions. Then there is the race question. The Pro- gram Commission was of the opinion that the slogan of the right of self-de- termination must be supplemented by another slogan: “Equal rights for all nationalities and races.” The Pro- gram Commission also diseussed whether or not the program should contain a definition of the conception of a nation, The Commission came to the conclusion that it was ‘prac: tically impossible to find a definition for the conception “nation” which would. satisfy all requirements, and that for the requirements of our fight it is only necessary to have a political definition, so that we may know where we can intervene and where we can not. Of course, everything depends upon whether or not the working class of the country raises the national question. If the nation- al question is a vital one for the work- ing class, if it is vital for the work- ers and peasant-proletariat, then it is naturally vital for the Communist Party and must not be neglected. A further question which was dis- cussed in the Program Commission was ‘the question of the new form of the bourgeois governments. Fascism was discussed as a form of govern- ment on the one hand, and the La- bor government on the other. The various types of Fascist government were discussed, and we came to the conclision that Fascism had already developed variots national types. For instance, Italian Fascism, its forms of development and forms of govern- ment, is not identical with German Fascism, its struggle for development and its methods of wielding power. Here national differences exist. The next matter that was discussed was what the next stage after Fas- cism would be. Various specifications were made. Must Fascism be elimi- nated directly by the proletarian dic- tatorship, or could intermediate stag- es arise? Comrades, the Commission was of the opinion that we cannot prophesy about this question but must leave it open, because various possi- bilities exist. Also Discuss Intellectuals. Then the question of the intellec- tuals ‘was discussed. I will not re- port on this question, since it is a special point on the agenda. Then on the role of the party, an which subject Comrade Kuusinen spoke, I will mention the following points which arose’ from this discus- sion: We all agreed that the concep- tion of the role of the party as_repre- sented in the Communist Manifesto is obsolete and the matter must be changed accordingly. We had quite a thoro discussion on the question of democratic cen- tralism, especially on the question whether or not we should retain this expression. Certain criticisms were made of this éxpression from the point of view that it does not suffi- ciently express the synthesis and har- mony of these two conceptions—cen- tralism and democracy; and that it ought to be replaced by a better ex- pression. But after a long discussion on the subject, the Commission de- Thalheimer Urges World Communist Program| cided that we must unconditionally retain this expression because it had been clearly and precisely defined, particularly by Comrade Lenin. The commission also made’ an ana- lysis ofthe organizational conceptions which had been put forth ®y Com- rade Rosa Luxemburg. The ,histori- cal bagkground of these conceptions were discussed, and the Commission came to the conclusion that these con- ceptions are now obsolete and are no longer advocated by anyone. The fact which caused these conceptions to be- come obsolete and which compels us to modify. them, is that before the Russian Revolution no one, including Rosa Luxemburg, could conceive the organization question from the point of view of the armed uprising. But that was the decisive question for the Russian conception of the organiza- tional question. Popular vs. ClaSs Party. In conhection with the question of the Communist parties, another ques- tion was discussed — Popular Party and Class Party. Comrades, this question played a certain role also among the Social Democrats, who rep. resent themselves as the Popular Par- ty, that is, as the party which unites within itself the working class and all the other toilers. We claimed to be a Popular Party, but in an entirely dif- ferent way. The claims to be the Popular Party in that we, as the re- volutionary class party of the prole- tariat, assumed the leadership of the toiling classes. What the Social Dem- ocrats and the parties of the Sec- ond International consider to be their role as a Popular Party is something entirely different. It is the subordina- tion of the interests of the proletariat to the interests of the petty bour- geoisie, ‘and the ‘subordination of the interests of the petty bourgeoisie to the interests of the large bourgeoisie —in other words, it is partly a reform- ist, partly a conservative, and partly a reactionary Popular Party. Comrades, another point that was discussed was that of the Communist philosophy. Comrade Bukharin has already spoken in detail on this sub- ject. The only question which was discussed in the Program Commission was how far must we go into detail in this question. Shall we givg a more or less detailed declaration or shall we restrict ourselves giving a brief and precise statement of the stand- point of the Communist Party on this question. We decided to do the latter | Blvd. and to say at the proper place: “The Communist Party bases itself on the 8 standpoint of dialectic materialism.” Work for Next Congress. The last point, the strategy and tac- tical principles, have not.yet been dis- cussed in the Commission. One part of the debate has been anticipated here, and the other part will be dis- cussed in the Commission. In conclusion I will state: I believe that it is of significance for us that in the Program Commission it was shown that no fundamental differenc- es exist within the Communist Inter- national, that no fundamental differ- ences were expressed in the Program Commission. Hence Comrade Bnkhar- Thursday, August 21, 1924 RUSSIA IN PLAN FOR FINANCIAL STABILIZATION Soviets Outlays New Monetary Policy The text of the address made by Sokolnikoff, Soviet Russia’s financial commissary, at the Russian financial conference in the last week of June, just received here, contains the fol- lowing summary outline of the finan- cial purpose and policy of the bureau: 1. By means of the stable currency to overcome the isolation of the eco- nomic activity of the farmers and to strengthen the devlopment of big in- dustry on the basis of an organized market. Retain Key to Market, 2. By the regulation of the money traffic to retain the key to regulating the entire commodity market in the hands of the state. 3. By means of a suitable budget and credit policy to reconcile the in- terests of the state as a whole with those of the state economic organiza- tions, and to bring the development of big industry into permanent agree- ment with that of small farming. 4. From a financial policy based on realities to proceed to an economic Policy likewise based on realities. Won't Surrender to Blockade. 5. Financially to organize and mo- bilize the internal forces of the coun- try in such a manner as to eliminate the possibility of a surrender to the capitalistic blockade. While Germany is being enslaved by the Dawes pact, swallowing the poison which it thinks is a good financial injection, Russia is definitely laying out a program for the stabiliza- tion of its finances, which means the betterment of the conditions of its working masses, co Party Activities Of Local Chicago BRANCH MEETINGS.

HUGHES PEEVED AT SOVIET RULE (Continued from Page 1.) the said railway.” The amount and conditions of the redemption price were to be settled at a later confer- ence between the two governments. Meanwhile the two governments were to draw up an agreement for the pro- visional management of the railway. It is this provisional agreement which has just come to light, and which jus- tifles Mr. Hughes in pulling a long face, In the first place, the road is to be run by a board of teri men; half of whom are to be named by each gov- ernment. A Chinese is to be head of the board and director-general, while a Russian is to be vice-chairman anf assistant director-general. When the board is deadlocked on any question, the two governments must settle the issue. But the board must select a Russian citizen to be manager, and a Chinese and a Russian as his assis- tants. Control Railway Situation. Next, the budget and estimates are to be in the sole custody of a board of five auditors, three of whom shall be named by Moscow, acting joiitly with the board of directors, This joint board will then stand at eight Rus- sians and seven Chinese, thereby en- abling the Russians to determfine how much money shall be spent. This is the real control of the whole railway situation, since the effort of the road will be turned by this majority to re- storing thru, trafic to Vladivostok from all of Manchuria, and to divert- ing it from the Japanese-owned South Manchurian Railway which runs south to Darien, a greater distance to sea- board. Japan suffers not merely a political and moral setback, but a serious commercial loss, by this Rus- sian victory. : A Sal eal Secretary Hughes has played the Japanese ag against the Russian game, in the orient, while trying to keep China safe for American com- mercial and banking exploitation. This railway deal is a slap in the face for his anti-Russian policy, and in- jures the prestige of Atherican trade thruout Manchuria and north China. What hurts him quite as much, per- haps, is the fact that the Boxer fund restored by’ Russia is to be spent for Chinese education under joint Soviet and Chinese supervision. expendi- tures must be approved the one Russian and two Chinese members of a special board.
