Condition of the Chief, Parties of | Zinoviev continued his speech on the political report of the enlarged executive of the Comintern, sixteenth session: (Continued from last issue.) 'N Germany at the present time the fourth trial of arms after 1919, 1921 and 1923 is slowly being prepared. In all these episodes the question of the relations of the party to the masses was the center point. In 1919 the masses were ready to enter the fight, but the party did not exist. In 1921 the party existed, but it estimated the temper of the masses incorrectly; in 1923 the situation was objectively rev- olutionary, but the party had won Many new social-democratic elements but had not yet*assimilated them so that it was not master of the situation. At the present time the objective sit- uation for the German party is fa- vorable and becoming more favorable, and it will become still more favorable if the party adopts a really correct tactic. The “Bergwerkszeitung,” a large capitalist organ, recognizes the danger of the Communist trade union work and declares that Moscow is working well. I am of the opinion that we are not yet working well enough, but it is “nevertheless a great success when the bourgeoisie begins to feel that the _, Party is bringing the advance guard and the masses together. HE worst mistake of the so-called German left did not consist so much in the individual errors, but in the fact that it opposed the whole line of the Comintern with a dine of its own. The essence of this line was that Russian Bolshevism was not ap- Plicable to western Europe in tbe question of the trade unions, the peas- ant question and the national ques- tion. The dominance of the German left in the party represents the only ease where a leadership got control of a party against the will of the Comintern. The executive is accused of having permitted this. But the Comintern. was forced to agree for the simple reason that all honest working-class elements stogd behind the left central committee out of bit- terness against the Brandler central committee. | Right Bankruptcy | HIS was neither the result of the strength of the left nor the weak- ness of the exécutive, but simply the pankyuptcy of the right. The speaker quoted from important documents to prove that the executive did not sit still and tolerate the mistakes of the so-called left central committee with- out doing anything. Before Frank- fort. I wrote Maslov that the incorrect attitude and the neglect of the trade union question would be the death of the German party and that a rejec- tion of the united front tactac would force the executive to action. In Frankfort Maslov and Ruth Fischer hardly wanted to negotiate with the representative of the E. C. C, I. and demanded the withdrawal of the let- ter. I wrote Thaelmann and Schlecht that the total of the ultra-left errors was nothing more nor less than the standpoint of the K. A. P. (Kommun- fstische Arbeiter Partei—Cormunist Workers Party), an ultra-left split off from the K. P. D. (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands — Communist Party of Germany, with strong syn- dicalist tendencies). The ultra-left standpoint is the neg- lect’ of the trade unions, the neglect ‘of the building up of the party, the rejéection of the united front tactic, @ menshevist attitude towards the soviet union and a struggle against the Comintern. I demanded an ener- getic and open struggle against the Nquidatory tendencies of the left. ‘Thaelmann and many other comrades committed many mistakes, together with the left central committee, but they did not even dream of taking part in the fight against the Comin- tern. At the time we wrote: “We have always drawn a distinction be- tween two groupings inside the left wing of the Communist Party of Ger- many. One of these groups repre- sents excellent revolutionary workers devoted to the cause of the working class, upon whom the hopes of Comy munism in Germany rest. The other group represents the leaders of the intelligentsia . . . amongst them are - 2 extremely immature elements, without any Marxist training, without vany serious revolutionary traditions, with a tendency towards empty revo- lutionary phraseology which can cause the German Communist movement ‘very great damage.” E.c.C also put forward two possibili- ties: “either the Communist Party of Germany will overcome the opportunist deviations and march to the realization of its revolutionary aims” or ‘the left wing leaders will interpret the victory of the left only from the point of view of fractional strategy.” In this case ‘a severe con- Mict between the Communist Party of Germany and the Comintern must ensue. We fought in, particular very strongly the standpoint not only of the left, but also of very many right ‘and center comrades, that we could iy build up new organizations in old trade unions. If the interfered Reckoning with Defeats. “DJDESPITE the correct line of Mara and Engels, they never- i theless suffered the blood Successes and defeats give w everything in our ranks is not takes, but he who fights must victor but nevertheless it carries da to come.”—From the speech of printed herewith. cally and strongly the left leaders would have continued in their incor- rect trade union policy. They be- lieved that if they adopted the trade union decision into the yesolution they could thereby make concessions to us but at the same time they could work differently in practice. This caused the bankruptcy of the so-called left leaders. Ruth Fischer has said that the biggest mistake after Frankfort was that the ultra-lefts Had not been fought with sufficient energy. That would, however, have been a very dif- ficult struggle for Ruth Fischer,, be- cause this struggle would have been a struggle against herself. In Frank- fort the ultra-lefts on the one side and Ruth Fischer and Maslov on fhe other were united! Ruth Fischer con- fesses that her policy in the question of the united front, in the trade union question, in the organizational ques- tion, etc., was incorrect. Where was her policy correct? In the struggle against Brandler? Yes, because in no other way could the executive save the German Communist Party from a split. It was compelled to accept the Ruth Fischer-Maslov cen- tral committee, otherwise three par- ties might have stood in the place where today there is only one. After the bankruptcy of Brandlerism this was the only way to save the unity of the party. The lesson of German party history consists in the fact that any attempt to place some other line opposed to the Leninist Comintern line inevitably suffers bankruptcy. The left attempted to work out a line of their own in the trade union question and in the tactic of the united front. They attempted to cor- rect Leninism from the left, and in this they inevitably suffered bank- ruptcy because both right and left of Leninism there is only anti-Commun- ism. The bankruptcy of this singular attempt of the German left proves not only that Leninism is applicable to western Europe, but also that it is the only possible strategy and tactic pgssible. | Three Ultra-Left Tendencies HERE are three ultra-left tenden- cies in Germany. We will wait and see how they work together with the central committee, what help they give the central committee in its work, whether they prove the honesty of their declarations in their deeds. Scholem was insulted when we characterized the intellectuals in the ultra-left as petty-bourgegis gone mad. mad? bubble and when the bubble burst a bad smell remained. Apparently Korsch is going to do the same that Katz has done. We de- clare that any workers who follow Korsclt are lost for” the proletarian revolution and#@we warn them that they are in danger of slipping from the camp of the revolution over to the camp of the counter-revolution. Our attitude towards the ultra-left by no means indicates that we want to restore the rights. When Ernst Meyer declares that the present cen- tral committee is pursuing his policy then the central committee must be careful. The central committee will be careful. We must have the new leadership in the Communist, Party of Germany and at the present time it is there, The speaker is of the opinion that 80 to 90 per cent of the party membersh'p is left, 2 to 5 percent right and 10 per cent ultra-left, With the support of the E. ©. C. I. the present central committee will continue to pursue the correct. policy. We wish to hold no one in ‘banish- ment. Support for the central com- mittee must not be proved in words, but in deeds. This refers to both sides, to the former ultra-lefts as well as to the former rights. | French Situation Intense | N France the situation is becoming more intense, a symptom of this is the fall of Briand, and it would be fateful not to recognize this. It would be a mistake to shout continually: “Fascism is coming; fascism is here!” because this makes the masses some- what indifferent to the real danger of fascism. The crisis in France is more serious than most people think, and the French right does not recognize this. During the sessions of the enlarged B, ©. C. 1. the French right sent in four scandalous declarations, and the speech of Engler in the commission was not loyal. Souvarine is preparing a great campaign and the right is leading an offensive... It is clear that the. French right represents the begin- nings of a new Souvarine anti-bolshe- vist party. This party will burst like a soap bubble. Souvarine sometimes attacks the Communists to an estent Jit wee Isn’t Katz a petty-bourgeois gone, Katz was a petty-bourgeols gas, 'y defeat of the Paris Commune, ay to one another. Naturally, ideal; we have made great mis- reckon with defeats as well as The tactic of the united front is a correct tactic, ngers with it. We must never forget these dangers and wherever right dangers show them- selves we must fight against them. and ultra-lefts are twin brothers will be true for a long time The contention that rights Comrade Zinoviev on the polit- ical report to the enlarged sessions of the Comintern Executive that Levi plus Frossard plus Hoeglund plus Bubnik altogether never did. It is our task to cut out this cancer, The Correct Line France HE right is social-democratic in the question of Morocco, the united front tactic, the trade union question and the organizational question. In this, however, we must do our utmost to win the workers who stand behind the right. The right group can only be effectually fought by a united cen- tral committee. For this reason a clear line must be worked out in the trade union question. We may not support the syndicalist elements, who wish to nullify the influence of the party upon the trade unions. It would, however, be a mistake to con- tinually stress the leading role of the party in the trade unions. A correct Bolshevist line is necessary. In the last enlarged executive session of the Communist Party of France Berliaz mentioned that many comrades in the committees of the revolutionary unions said “we have already taken enough trotble with the question of trade union unity.” This is a very dangerous attitude. The chief tasks presented by the French situation are: (1) the working out of a clear analysis of the situa- tion, recording the intensification of the situation; (2) the formulation of a clear line in the trade union question; (3) the creation of a united leader- ship with the inclusion of Cachin. After this (the central committee should deliver a firm blow at the rights, | Czecho-Slovak Crisis | HE situation of the Czecho-Slovak- ian party in the present economic crisis in .Czecho-Slovakia is favorable now that the party has passed the crisis of recent years. The Commun- ist Party of Czecho-Slovakia can serve as an example of how to fight the dangers from the right and the Communist Party of Italy as a simi- lar example with regard to the dan- gers from the left. Nevertheless, the dangers are still glowing under the ashes, as was shown by the letter of Hula and Vanek to the E. C. C. I. We hope that the party leadership will succeed in quenching this glow also, but with- out cutting off any heads, | Left and Right in Norway | URING our sessions a report came from Norway, according to which the Communist leader Sundby gave an interview in which he declared that the liquidation of the Norwegian Com- munist Party was possible in the in- terests of unity. In my speech I spoke of the dangers from the left in Norway, but the case of Sundby shows once again that the dangers from left and right usually go in harness. We hope that the Com- munist Party will liquidate those peo- ple themselves who speak of the liqui- dation of the party. China HE situation of the Chinese peo- ple’s armies is becoming worse for the moment. The imperialists are counting with Joy upon their total destruction, We believe, however, in a recov- ery. Should, however, their posi- tion become still worse, the situa- tion will still remain intense. The decisions of the Orient commission will be of the gre: st significance. | British Crisis Approaches | HE situation of the British miners will become acute in the next few days. In this connection we shall have to struggle not only against the right leaders, but also against the con- fused “left” leaders, who are afraid of the fight. The struggle of the miners is the beginning of a whole wave of social struggle in Great Britain. We hope that the Communist Party ‘of Great Britain will be successful in finding ihe correct revolutionary way in this struggle. | Program of Action | IE question of the program of ac- tion has made no progress. The enlarged BE. C. C. I. must instruct the executive to work out this pro- gram together with the representa- tives of the sections, to last for a whole period, ‘The enlarged B, 6, C. I. will make seen to extem@' the policy of the ald mt | THE DAILY WORKER e it possible ito our own united front. It will milk to introduce La ranks and to carry out @ normaliza- tion, The iron discipline will remain, but we must nevertheless grasp the fact that our previous practice - was based upon the near proximity of the civil war. For this. reason we need other forms of discipline and central- ism, a freer air, not for the degenerate elements, but for the honest Commun- ists. We must reject any revision of fundamental questions, Souvarine says that the first four congresses were correct, but the fifth incorrect: We stand, however, upon the basis of all four congresses and one may not play one of them out against the other, ‘ i Right and Ultra-Left Twin-Brothers $$$ $$$ ETKIN was not quite right when she said that our line: was incorrect and quoted the defeaté tin Esthonia, Germany and Bulgariasto prove this. Despite the correct line of Marx and Engels, they nevertheless suffered the bloody defeat of the Paris Commune. Successes and defeats give way to one another. Naturally, everything in our ranks is not ideal; we have made great mistakes, but he who fights must reckon with defeats: as well as with victories. The tactic of the united front is a Comi themselves more upon r rience must meet with/sA" great re- sponse. There must be. more inde- pendence in the choice. of’ leaders. Naturally we do not need such leaders who have to be changed every. six months. Where it is absolutely neces- sary the executive must, of course, in- tervene, but more initiative, naturally under the control of the executive will do no harm. The problem of the lead- ership is one of the most important problems of the proletarian revolution. It is difficult to discover the correct leadership, but in some parties it exists already. Great Britain and U.S. in Foreground HE sessions have already proved that the prophecies of the social- democratic and bourgeois press about the “collapse of the Communist Inter- national” are incorrect. Difficulties and differences exist, it is true, at the present time in the French section, and to a certain extent in the Ger- man section also, We will overcome them; in Germany they are even al- ready partly overcome now. The successes with which we have met are not unimportant, not tem- porary, but great and importaat. This is in accordance with the whole sit- uation, which is becoming ever more correct tactic, but nevertheless it car- ries dangers with it. We must never forget these dangers and wherever right dangers show themselves we must fight against them. «The conten+ tion that the rights and the,ultra-lefts are twin brothers will be true for a long time to come, | Liquidate Errors | HE most important question of these\ sessions is not who is de- feated and who victorious, but the quéstion of correctly liquidating the errors. It is not pleasant to under- take operations against the German ultra-left and against the French right. Souvarine is of course.Jost, but there are honest worker elements whom we must save. We must not budge a hair’s breadth from our principles, but the internal regime of some of our. parties must be altered. The decision of the fourteenth party congress of the Com- munist Party of the Soviet Union, ac- cording to which the rtiés must show more initiative, and support — radical. The political analysis of the theses complementéd by the commis- sion are correct and accurate. We studied almost all countries and placed Great Britain and America in the foreground. The slogan of the “United States of Social Europe!” must be conducted with the Communist attitude in gen- eral. The social<iemocratic press de- clares fhat our aim is merely a united states of Europe. Our slogan is nat- urally: proletarian social states of Europe, and we know.that Europe alone is not decisive...We have a point of support in the Orient and we are at the same time’ studying the American situation, where_the rela- tion of forces is still unfavorable for us, but will certainly change. In the American situation’ we have adopted a decision which we hope will satisfy all comrades. I think that the enlarged executive may accept the theses of thé political commission with a good conscience, as we have done our best in the present complicated, situation to find the further way for the organization of the Communist Parties for further struggles against the bourgeoisie.

BOSTON TO SEND DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON TO PROTEST . “AGAINST ANTI-ALIEN LAWS * special to The Daily Worker) BOSTON, Mass., April 8.—Delegates will be sent to Washington by) 64 labof and fraternal organizations, to protest against the passage of the bills calling for the registration, fingerprinting and photographing of non-citizens. This was the decision Gf a conference called by the Council for the Protection of Foreign-born at the “American House. Professor Harry W~‘L. Dana, of the Boston Trade Union College, was'thé chief speaker at the conference. He characterized the legislation as anti- foreigner” and “anti- labor. ” He hailed the conference as a forward step in so far as it showed the ability of la- bor to co-operate politically and look- ed forward to the time when labor would have its own political party to fight such vicious legislation. Dana went back into American his- tory to show that “foreigners have dis- covered America, foreigners have set- tled it and foreigners have built it up.” The Declaration of Independence which was signed 150 years ago was a “foreign document” dcelared Dana, “made up of the composite views of the leading foreign philosophers of the time.” He analyzed the bills show- ing what a complete system of es- pionage would be established if they were passed. Efforts will be made to induce the Central Labor Union of Boston and the Massachusetts State F@deration of Labor to take action on this legisla- jon. Delegates from the floor deplored the fact that the American Federa- tion of Labor and the city and state central bodies had as yet not taken any step to express their opposition to the bills before the hearings now being held in Washington. A num- ber of delegates pledged themselves to do their utmost to secure the sup- port of these organizations. A large number of petitions against the bills have already been secured and sent to the senate committee on immigration. The conference arranged a mass meeting at the Franklin Union Hall, Berkeley and Appleton streets, for Sunday afternoon, April 18.

W. Le Representatives Put Question of Unity to the Fore. Re- fusal to Help in Young Work ers’ Struggles is Bound to be Looked Upon with Disfavor by Rank and File Yipsels and Worki NEW YORK: CITY.—The Young Peoples Soclalist League again for the third time rejected the proposal of the Young Workers’ League to join the arrangements committee for the youth conference which Ie to be held In New York' in the month of May with the purpose of promoting a movement of unlonizing ‘the young workers, fight- ing child labor, antl-militarism and various other evils that afflict the working~class. youth. This time it was the new city cen- tral committee elected at the last city convention that rejected the united front proposal of the Y. W. (C.) L. at its meeting on Saturday, April 18 Comrades P. Frankfield and M. Kush- nir representing the Y. W. (C.) bL. made their way into the meeting room and were granted the floor to make the appeal. Gomrade P. Frankfield spoke first. Short and snappy he showed the pro- cess of pauperization and exploitation the working youth is undergoing and called upon the Y. D. S. L. to unite with the Y. W. L. and other progres- sive labor bodies to fight these evils. Then a motion was made to reject the proposal for a united front and the floor was opened for discussion im. spite of the fact that the prelim- inary, conference where the arrange- ments committee was elected for call- ing the big conference there were dele- gates . representing 50,000 workers. Nevertheless the members of the city central committee charged that it was a purely Communist affair. Declarations that the Y. W. (C.) L. in making the proposal of united front was insincere. and only aimed to put }something over the Y. P. S. L. were en the lips of most of the speakers. Then others declared that rejection of the united front proposal did not at all depend on insincerity. Sincerity or no sincerity if the Y. P. S. L. will unite with the Communists the capi- talists are going to use it against the socialists and they are going to lose favor with the outside world. One ‘delegate said that fighting for the de- mands of the young workers involves Comonition to the big unions and the ing Youth. Y,.P. S. L. does not wish to get in bad with the big fellows higher up in fhe Jabor faking ranks. Two members of the committee spoke in favor of unity but they were very weak in their opposition to the majority. One of them moved that & committee of three be elected to work ‘out plans jointly with the rep- resentatives of the Y. W. L., but his motion was not voted upon and he did not’press for a vote. The other show- ed the same degree of weakness. He said ‘that while he did not favor the united front on May day, (W.(C.)P.) call ‘for united front on May day was also under’ debate, he favored the youth conference. ft should be remem- bered that this “left winger” while speaking to Comrade Kushnir a few days ago himself suggested the advis- ability of a united May day demon- stration. Before closing the discussion Com- rade Kushnir was granted the floor for three minutes. He told them that the reason the Y. W. C, L. calls upon the Y. P. 8. L. to join the conference is not for the good looks of the members of the city central economic and political situation of the working youth demand it, and it was the duty of every organization that ‘claims to be a working class organiza- tion to join with other labor organ- izations and fight for the common aims. Replying to those who said that the Y, P. S. L. must not unite with the Communists because the latter de- nounce the Y. P. 8. L. he made it plain to them that if the Y. P. S, L. does not want to participate in the struggles of the working youth the Yo P.S. L. should not expect thanks for it from the working class youth and that the Y. W. L, will continue even while having the united front to point out the differences that lay be- tween the Cofnmunists anfr the ¥. B. S. Li... In conclusion he said that the ¥, W. L, will continue to call upon the Y.P. 8. L. to participate in the strug- gle of the youfg workers and that: this attempt will succeed even against the, will of some of the leaders, Literature and Our Organization By ALBERT GLOTZER. ba the past the comrades in the league did not take the question of literature sales as an important func- tion in our work. This is in all prob- ability was due to the lack of under- standing on just what literature means to us. An attitude prevailed where a literature agent’s job was considered a nuisance and unessen- tial. With the reorganization comes a need of more concentrated efforts by the comrades in the proper hand- ling of literature. The press affords an unlimited amount of propaganda and is a wea- pon more powerful than anything else. The capitalist class thru its corrupt and kept press keeps the workers in ignorance, We must build a mighty organ to combat the ruling class and can not afford to let ourselves fall down in this work. We must concen- trate our work in every field with our literature. ‘In almost every phase of. work the press must be used and used to our good end. Can the comrades imagine what would happén of our or- ganization would be without a Young Worker, 6r the party without The DAILY WORKER.~ We must build up this weapon and every comrade must get into this work heart and soul. (If we had in the past considered the press and other Mtera- ture that we use in our daily work there would not be the need of going back to a bi-weekly. This was a-atep backward and we must recognize it and now get ready to build once again for a weekly Young Worker and go forward from there. There was a time when we consid- ered the selling of literature at mass meetings one of our major tasks and did not concentrate on the shops and union meetings. But we found that the selling of literature to our close sympathizers at meetings was not suf- ficient. . The factory bulletins is also one of the best means in reaching the work- ers at the shops. In the bulletins we outline the demands of the workers and carry propaganda that causes the worker to think more deeply about his own position.
