In 1920, the newly-formed British Communist Party was refused the right of affiliation. Ever since then, each year has seen a further stage in the twofold process of cast- ing out “extreme” elements from the organization and eliminating “ex- treme,” or “crude”, or “wild” pro- posals from its programme.

At this conference it was decided to set up a national committee to organize left wing senti- ;ment and at the same time a program | Ramsay MacDonald | was worked out.

Those Labor Parties who did not promptly cast out the Communists would themselves be threatened with expulsion. Left Wing Meeting. In spite of these threats, the na- tional left wing provisional commit~ tee continued its campaign to reverse the policy of the last three years. On September 25, 1927, a second annual conference of the national left wing movement was held one week before the Blackpool conference, attended by 145 delegates representing 64 labor | parties and numerous other bodies such as branches of the I.
