The opposition is endeavoring to circulate the slander that the blame for the approach of war dan- ger is to be attributed to the “wrong” policy pursued by the Party, and that imperialism is preparing to at- tack us because we have become weaker. Such an “explanation” as this of the war danger betrays not to a maximum of fractional ndness and fractional madness in the opposition, but a complete lack! on of the objective g an aggravation of between imperial- ism and the Soviet Union inevitable in the given stage of development.

The bloc with this group of apos {tates from Communism the be proof of how far our opposition fallen. 18. The swing to the Right on tk part of the heads of the labor a tocracy and bureaucracy has again been evidenced in the treacherous at- titude adopted by the leaders of the General Council and its representa- tivs in the Anglo-Russian Committee. The Communists in the General Council of the Trade Unions of the Soviet Union (A. U. C. T.) have in are correctly criticized the treacherous acts of the General Council. At the same time they have rightly abstained from taking upon elves the responsibility for the splitting and di lving of the Anglo- Russian Committee and have thus e |posed to the last shred the treacher- ous tactics of the leaders of the Gen- eral Council. The A. U. C, U. must utilize its “legal possibility” of connection with the British trade unions to sti matize systematically the treachery, |the compromises, and the social in |perialist measures of the leaders of the General Council. At the same |time every effort must be made to janimate the international work of |the A. U. C. T. U. in the fight against | war, against the offensive of capital, and for the unity of the trade union |movement both in the West and in the East (see trade union conference | of the countries of the Pacific Ocean, etc.). In the same way all effor must be made for more energetic work in this direction on the part of the Red International of Labor Unions. | 3. The Problem of the Chinese Revolution. ; 19. Three main lines of tactics jcould be laid down for a proletarian Party in the Chinese revolution—and ja different judgement on the Chi- |nese revolution itself. The first line |of tactics (the Right deviation, merg- {ing directly and immediately into | Menshevism) assumes that until the victory over imperialism and the uni-| § \fication of China, it is necessary to i the unity of the national ” front, including the |bourgeoisie, in every stage of devel | opment, for which purpose many cessions are to be made. (Hampering of the ag |fight against it, hindering jlabor movement and com jthe “exaggerated demand: worke ete., the necessity frightening away the bourgeoisie. The second line of tactics (the Trot- zkyist) rejects (though only later) on principle the admissibility of en- tering into any agreement alli- ances with the bou visie alto- gether, in any stage of development of the revolution.

We Communists, in ;the course of the fight and the action ‘to reseue the two innocent murdered | proletarian revolutionaries, have nev- ler permitted any doubt that it was ‘not a question of Sacco and Vanzetti as individuals, but of the great fight between the proletarian revolution and .the iron-clad American and in- ternational imperialism. Capitalism Murders Thousands. In the last decades, especially in the years since the war, international imperialism has, both legally and il- legally, condemned, executed and murdered thousands and thousands of workers. What, however, distinguish- es the case of Sacco and Vanzetti from all other murders of revolution- }ary proletarians, is the monstrous bestiality, the almost sadistic barbar- ity with which the bourgeoisie of the United States dragged the two work- ers to the electric chair. Seven years ago Sacco and Van- zetti were condemned to death, and during this unendingly long time they were repeatedly dragged from ‘the prison cell to the condemned cell, in order, at the last moment and after having experienced all the mental agony of an immediate execution, to be conveyed back to the prison cell; and this only in order, after a few weeks or months, to have to go thru the same cruel business again, and then, in the night from 22nd to 23rd August—perhaps with the faint hope, remembering their former experi- ences, of being saved yet once again —to die. All the horrors of medieval torture pale before this atrocious bestiality, which could only emanate from the sick brains of insane crim- inals. Sacco and Vanzetti have been ex- ecuted, murdered. By their execution the imperialists of the United States give a blow in the face to the interna- tional working class and all sections and circles inclining to them, who for weeks past, in all countries and cities United States imperialism, which in the last few months demonstrated its power and military force by bombard- ing unfortified towns in Nicaragua and whose warships took part’in the bombardment and destruction of Chi- nese towns and villages, Challenge to Workers. ‘ The murder of Sacco and Vanzetti is a fresh and the most provocative challenge to the American and the in- ternational proletariat. * The’ murder of the two proletarian revolutionaries was possible because the bourgeoisie of the United States had placed itself determinedly and with all its power behind the cowardly murderers, in or- der, through the two murdered vic- tims, to strike at the revolutionary labor movement of America, With the murder of Sacco and Van- zetti the bourgeoisie of the United States has remained true to its “dem- ocratic” traditions. Like the five gal- lows in’ the prisons of Chicago on which,.in the year 1886, the victims of the inkerton provocateurs were | strangled, the electric chair in Boston jtoday reveals the true countenance _and the real content of the bourgeois democracy of the capitalist world. With this murder the bourgeoisie of \the United States has shown in the most striking manner to the working class of the whole world, that in cap- italist society there exist neither jus- tice nor law, but only a naked, brutal and barbarous class law and clags justice. In former times the bourgeoisie had tice. class antagonisms and of the class struggle, it allows even the last flim- sy veil to fall, and shows that for it the police, the judges and law courts are only obedient tools of its blindly raging hatred against the proletariat and against the revolutionary work- : ing class. of the earth, demanded the release of | the condemned.

The IL. International, this despicable body of bankrupt social democratic ex-Ministers, was more |deeply moved over the fate of Oude- geest at the Paris Congress than over the fate of the two revolutionary workers awaiting execution. The de- mand of the American Defence Com- inittee for Sacco and Vanzetti that an international general strike be called in order to save the lives of the two workers, was printed in the social democratic “Vorwaerts” of Ber- lin, this model paper of a degenerate and corrupt reptile press, under the cynical heading: “A Belated Propo- sal,” instead of the editors blushing with shame at the fact that the repre- sentatives of the Social Democratic Party at the Paris Congress and their functionaries in the trade unions had not brought forward this proposal as a matter of course, and at least ap- proved the proposals of the revolu- tionary organizations and workers’ groups in Germany when the latter demanded the organization of a pro- test strike. The bourgeoisie of the United States wished to murder Sacco and Vanzetti as a demonstration in the great class struggle against the pro- letariat. The fact that they were able to carry out this intention is greatly due to the shameful and cow- ardly behavior of the reformist and social democratic trade union and par- ty cliques in the United States and in other countries, Sacco and Vanzetti have died for the revolutionary class struggle and |for the revolution. Their death must be a fresh stimulus to extend and to intensify the revolutionary fight against the bourgeoisie of all coun- | tries, as well as against all reformist | |agents and lackeys of the bourgeoisie. © The death of Sacco and Vanzetti /will spur us on to increase a hundred- |) ‘fold our efforts in the proletarian | lass struggle, and not to rest until | he capitalist condemned cells are | jtormed and the proletarian revolu- © fon is realized, French and American Imperialists Review West Point Gun Fodder WEST POINT, Sept. 7.—Propa- ganda for militarism and for the growth of the understanding between © France and the United States against British imperialism, were made here | when Paul Claudel, French ambassa- dor to Washington, and Maurice Bo- kanowski, French minister of com- merce, industry and aviation, ad- dressed the Lafayette-Marne celebra- tion at ‘West Point. ¢ While the uniformed scions of America’s imperialist stood at attem tion beside the ivy-covered barracks | in the fall sunlight, the American of- ficers and the French diplomats lan- ded the soldiers whose lives were | snuffed out in 1914 to save French | imperialism from German imperialism | at the battle of the Marne.
