C.; a BEDACHT SPEAKS TO YOUT, (Continued from Yesterday) Tn addition to the members of the National Executive Committee, six “candidates for the N. E.

These candidates meet with the Plenary sessions of the N, E.

In the Sunday evening session of ‘the convention, Comrade Bedacht, continuing his report on behalf of ~the Central Executive Committee of the Workers (Communist) Party, said, that the working class is our army. If the working class remains inac- tive, the revolutionary movement can- not be successful, It is our task to develop the working class’ conscious- ness and to accelerate its movement. There appears to be very little motion in the American working class. But there are some little commotions here and there. It is the business, of the Communists to unite these little cam- motions, and this, with the experienc- es of the struggle, will increase the power and activity of the working class until it becomes strong enough and conscious enough to overcome the capitalist class. 4 All of this would seem to be an A. B. C. lesson having no place in a report of the Central Executive Com- mittee of the party to the conven- tion of the Y. W. L., said Comrade Bedacht." But unfortunately, this A. B, C. is not sufficiently rooted in the minds of our comrades. Leninism for them is not a method of analyses of all of the phenomena of social and other life, but it consists of phrases which they memorize out of articles, pamphlets or books. In the phrase these comrades are bound to forget the substance presented by the.ever- flowing and ever-moving reality of life. The hanging on to an incom- Pletely-understood phrase prevents the diactic consideration of the situ- ation and leads to false conclusions. Thus while the Leninism of these comrades seems to be attested to by their familiarity with the phrase, their lack of Leninism is attested to by their thoroly un-Leninist analyses and policies. Comrade Bedacht discussed the present low level of the party and the league in the matter of Marxist- Leninist understanding, giving ex- amples of comrades who wildly ar- gued against the policy of building a labor party as a policy of “raising the yellow flag,” but some of these ‘same individudi comrades had occa- sion later to take a party examina- tion on their knowledge of Commun- ist theory, and were unable to answer _the.simplest questions. The Leninist quality of our activi- ties must be carefully guarded thru the leadership and advice of the com- bined Leninist understanding and ex- perience of our international party. The leadership of the Communist In- ternational thus becomes an indis- pensable element in the accomplish- ment of our tasks. The Communist International is the international gen- eral staff of the revolutionary prole- tarian army. Any movement which ie started for the purpose of un- dermining the authority of this gen- eral staff of the revolution, the lead- ers of the Communist International, is an act of enmity to our organization and to the working class. The speak- er recalled that Lore had built his movement against the Comintern on the propaganda of the claim that “the Communist International was ‘misin- tormed. Such propaganda is agita- tion against the leadership of the C. I. One cannot at the same time propagate the broad masses of the workers for the correctness of the leadership of the Comintern and at the same time agitate the party against this correctness. One cannot appeal to the Comintern against the party, and at the same time appeal the party against the Comintern. The speaker declared that the’ tral Executive Committee of the party will do its duty in carefully guard- ing the authority of the Comintern and at the same time of guarding its own, authority in the American sec- tions of the Communist movement as the agent of the Comintern. In the endeavor to establish the leadership of our international Com- munist Party also over the Ameri¢an working masses, the best possible co- operation and unity of action of the party ‘and the league must be estab- lished. This unity must one of purpose as well as of policy##For this reason all the activiti ind = cam- paigns of the league must fit into the general political policies and cam- paigns of the party. The problems of the working class as a whole are in the main the problems of the young workers among whom the Young Workers’ League carries on its special work, There can be no division, therefore, between the activities and policies of the party‘and the league. Comrade Bedacht dwelt at length on the problem of the inner purifica- tion of our movement from the rem- nants of social-democracy, the prob- lem of cleansing the party and the league of Loreism., He pointed out that this cleansing process is not merely and solely one of eliminatin; elements foreign to our movement, but it is also the problem of raising the intellectual level, the level of Communist quality—-of our member- Party and league must mobilize all heir forces for the speedy carrying thru of reorganization which is one of the methods of Bolshevizing our movement. The educational work of party and league must be extended. It must not be confined to class work, but much reach out to évery party unit and every member “of the hparty, While the educational en- deavors of the party have as their object the raising of the quality of our membership, the general activi- ties of the party must have the ob- ject of raising the degree of class- consciousness among the working masses. In both of these fields of education we must carefully guard against abstractions and must ¢om- bine theoretical education with ex- tensive activities which latter are the best teacher of the masses thru ex- perience. The speaker pointed out that no- where else in the world doés capital- ism make such extensive efforts to chain down the minds of the children of the working class to an eternal acceptance of capitalism. In this situation the task of developing a mass movement of proletarian chil- dren attempting to keep awake in their minds their class interests and instincts, which are fostered by the misery of their existence as proletar- ian children, is an absolute necessity. The Young Workers’ League must de- vote all of its energy available to this task. Comrade Bedacht closed with an ap- peal to the delegates to drown their ee eee {LY Wo ‘SPEECH BY WM. Z. FOSTER ‘¢Continued from page 3) the Commuhist International, even tho they’ were five thousand miles away from here, or even six thousand understood the American situation far better-than we did. They were able to teach us with regard to the Ameri- can situation. The decision which they arrived at in the question of the third party alliance greatly educated our party in the fundamentals of Com- munist tactics. A case in point of the wisdom of the Comintern—the second congress of the C.I. We had a delegation over there—Reid, Fraina and others, I don’t remember the personnel exact- ly. The debate was on the trade uni- on question. Our delegation took a dual union standpoint. It was very typical what the Russian leaders said to them, They said: “You say you cannot work in the trade unions in America and you have made a lot of arguments to that effect. We don’t know the exact details of the age gh but we are certain nevertheless that you can work in the trade unions of America.” Experience has. proven the correctness of this position, in the trade unions of America. It was the Russian leaders who taught the Am- erican Party to work in the unions. It was Lenin and Lozovsky and other Russian leaders who freed us from our infantile dualism and instructed us in the fundamentals of trade union work. We did not understand the first principles of this basic task. The Com- intern taught us how to work in the unions. The last trip I made to Moscow was in 1925. Again we learned many things about our’ own Party dnd the American situation. On the question of the labor party—now the comrades of the minority, the former minority, had searched around with a micros- cope to find every conceivable argu- ment for the advocacy of the slogan, yet we found that the leaders of the Comintern ‘even 56,000 miles away, factional differences in a wave of Communist activities, to mobilize all their energies and spirit for the fur- ther building up of the league, for the establishment of the closest unity between league and party, for the loy- al carrying out of the policies of the leadership of our international, the Comintern, so that the combined ef- forts of party and league may suc ceed in setting the Amepican working class into motion, in arousing clas: consciousness in them, and in lead ing them on to decisive victory. were able to educate the comrades of the minority very much on the ques- tion of the necessity to advocate the labor party. They had more faith in the certainty of a labor party than our comrades. The best arguments were made by Zinoviev, Stalin and Kuusi- nen, not by the American delegates of the minority, and I think it is not tell- ing any tales out of school to say that when the former minority delegates same to Moseow they were criticized »y the Comintern leaders for yielding too much to us on the question of the labor party, I am not one of thoge who say that when you go to Mofeow you meet with a lot of men'who make hasty factional, decisions. Quite thSe con- trary. The leaders,of,the C. I. are re- sponsible, intelligent leaders, and when they make decisions, their de- cisions are based upon real facts and their decisions on American problems have been far more intelligent than we have been able to arrive at as a re- sult of counselling among ourselves. Iam not going to say what happen- ed at the Young Workers League cau- cus. Comrade Canrion pictures a desperate situation: ‘But that is ri- diculous, I will pass over that for the present. On my ‘previous trips, I learned much, and the fourth time I shall probably learfi a lot more. I do want to say this: every time I have gone to Moscow I have learned much. Once I really contributed something— the first time I went over—the other two times I was defeated, but the sec- ond time I- was in pretty respectable company—Comrade, Pepper, both fac- tions. In all these cases, I have at least tried to correct my policy in ac- cordance with the Comintern and to get in line with the Comintern. On our next visit over there, I will assure you the same thing will happen. I am for the Comintern from start to finish. I want to work with the Comintern, and if the Comintern finds itself criss- cross with my opinions, there is only one thing to do and that is to change my opinions to fit the policy of the Comintern, You Can’t Afford to Miss Y.

Oct, 7.—A most suc- and reorganization of the party. Comrade Amter went back into the political bakground for the necessity of Bolshevizing the party. He point- ed out the issues that in the past two years had emphasized the neces- sity of Bolshevizing all the parties of the Comintérn. The Trotsky issue in the Russian party, the Brandler-Thal- heimer issue in the German Party, the Bordiga issue in the Italian (a sup posed “left” issue), the Bubnik issue in the Czecho-Slovakian Party (where Bubnik had the support of the cen- ter group), and finally the recent Mas- low-Fischer issue in the German Party all demonstrated that Bolsheviza- tion of the parties of the Communist International was imperative. _ Defines Loreism. Comrade Amter dealt at length with the issue of Loreism, and analyzed the question. He showed that Lore- ism was prevalent in all sections of the party, without the comrades be- ing aware that they are Loreites— right wingers. He showéd that made up Loreism, emphasizing the steps that were taken at the party conven- tion to deal with the problem, by the removal of Askeli as editor oi the Tyomies, and the expulsion of Lore. “To the masses,” is the slogan of the Communist International and the united front is one of the most effec- tive methods. Trade union work is one of the most important duties of the party members. Not mere mem- bership in the unions, but active par- ticipation in all of its work, to bring the masses of ‘organized workers un- der the influence and control of the party. . This can be done in an or- ganized form only if party fractions are built up im all unions. This must be undertaken without delay and with all energy, if th is to grow. The United Front Tactics. " The united front in one of its most effective fights in the United States is the labor party. Wherever occa- sion presents itself, steps must be taken to form a local labor party. Sentiment must be created for the idea of a labor party, and the mass- es won over. The trade unions are the basis of the labor party and this again is one of the reasons that the comrades must become active in the party influence becoming increasingly so, in view of the growing reaétion. The confirma- ‘tion of the criminal syndicalism in the case of Gitlow, the new attacks on the foreign-born \workers, the at- tempts to fingerprin \all the workers of the country with ‘pe intention of ship in general, Our efforts at Bol- shevization are devoted to this task, keeping control of thg militants, the unions. Defense f$ ‘also necessary and is f foreign-born threatened deportation} cessful membership meeting was held in Celeveland on Sunday, September 27, with 150 comrades present. Com- rade Israel Amter, the new district secretary, spoke on Bolshevization radicals, the increasing use of injunc- tions and fort’ by the American gov- the militant workers is an issue of the day.’ Comrade.Amter emphasized the nec- essity of Marxian-Leninistic education if our membership is to perform its work in asCpmmunist manner. The- ory and, practice go together, one without the other is not indicative of a Communist. In building up the party, we must also build up the Y. W. L., since they are the future mem- bers of the party, and without our help, the Young workers will not be brot into the Y. W. L. Reorganization of the Communist Parties becomes necessary in order that we may get to the masses, root ourselves in their struggles, and be- come their leaders. Comrade Amter went into the technical details of the reorganization, and showed how the party members will be reorgan- ized and the work intensified by each comrade having a task assigned to him, a duty that he will perform un- der the discipline and control of the nucleus. P. The many questions asked showed that the comrades had grasped the idea of Bolshevization, but had to have the small points cleared up. Then followed discussion on a high plane, except for a few ideological slips, which had to be corrected. Con- siderable literature was sold and a good collection taken up. - All in all, the land since the discuysion began in the party. The following resolution was adopt- ed: This membership meeting held in Cleveland, on September 27, 1925, de- clares its complete agreement with the decisions of the Communist In- ternational and the party convention on the questions of reorganization of the party on the basis of shop nu- clei and on Bolshevization of the party. ~ This meeting recognizes that the present form of organization is a relic of the days of. social democracy, which keeps the revolutionists apart from the masses and does not pre- pare the Communist Party for imme- diate participation’ in alk the strug- gles of the workers. Only by rooting the party deep in the masses at the place where they labor, viz., the mines, mills and factories, will it be possilffe to build our party into a mass Communist Party. This meet- ing recognizes that the members of the party who are not engaged in in- dustrial work, and various individual members, who are industrial workers, for whom it is impossible for the time being to form shop nuclei, must be ‘ouped . 5 together in branches.’ international .This meeting pledges itself to do ‘| ‘ything in its power to assist the Spin Snaigne’: co. EB} C. and D, E, ‘eorganization of thy’party, in order ernment; demonstrate that defense for} hat‘ within the shortest tiine possible, comrades declare that this was one of the best meet- ings that they have held in Cleve- organizations built up. te Cleveland Membership: Meeting for €, E, C, in the complete our party may be completely reorgan- ized on the. basis of shop nuclei. This meeting, -however, also re- cognizes that) only ifva complete Bol- shevization plan is adopted and car- ried out in the party will the mem- bership be equipped for the tasks that fall upon them. Education in theory and practice of Communism are imperative, Marxian-Leninist edu- cation must become’a most important task of all units, so that every com- rade will become familiar with Com- munist theory and work. But not by theory alone will our comrades become red] Communists. The Communist Party is a party of action. Hence the party must. partici- pate actively in the struggles’ of the’ workers, adopting such policies as are needful in order to bring the party close to the masses. At this period of the struggle, trade inion work is absolutely essential. Every party comrade eligible to membership in a trade union must join a union. He must become active in the union and seek for leadership and control. In order, however, to do Communist work in an organized form, party fractions must be formed. The united front is one of the most important Bolsheyik tactics at the Present time. -The campaign for the labor party, the campaign for build- ing up a defense organization—the In- ternational Labor’ Defense—must be propagated with alb energy, and the Work among thé Negroes, among women, and particularly work to build up the Communist’ Youth organization, the Y. W. L., mist be regarded of |* major importance, The membershfp meeting regards the Bolshevizatioti plan and-the reor- ganization of the party on the basis of shop nuclei as thé most essential means of activating every party com- rade. This Bolshevization will mean the throwing off of all non-Commun- ist elements still in the party. The party convention took the proper steps in removin, mrade Askeli as editor of the Tyomies, since his po- sition was typical of right wingism, and would retard’ the Bolshevization of the party. This meeting approves the expulsion of Lere from the party, since he is unworthy of and unfit for membership in the party. This mem- bership meeting declares that the party convention took the proper steps in Bolshevizing the party when it took these measures, and the mem- bership present # this meeting pledg- es itself to do ayerything in its pow- er to wipe out right Wing tendencies, to the end that otit party may become a Bolshevik party worthy of mem- bership in the Communist Internation- al and capable of leading the werk ers and poor fatmers of this country to a successful yevolution for the es- tablishment of. t e proletarian dicta- torship in the U: States, RKER DANGER AHEAD.

This is the first of a series of affairs to be given by the Brownsville Shop Nuclei Branch of thé Workers Party this season for the purpose of draw- ing the masses of factory workers of Brownsville into the class struggle. At each of these affairs lectures will be given at the outset, to be fol- lowed by concerts, plays, enteptain- ments and dances. At this first @ffair on Oct. 10, the following promfnent, leaders ofthe Communist mové,aent Gomrade member of the of America will lecture: Benjamin ‘Gitlow; Central Executive Committee; “Wil- liam Weinstone, member of the °C: E.

For instance in Los Angeles there exists the condition where thousands of dressmakers earn $12.00 and $14.00 per week, Conditions are very miser- able. The same js true within the millinery trade. We are putting forth every effort to make this dance a success. The funds will be used for strengthening the organization and to organize the unorganized in the vorious sections of the needle trades.
