The Right danger in the American Party is especially great, be- cause our Party has not yet gone through a really revolutionary situa- tion. It has had no chance to go through the ordeal of fire. But we ean feel confident—on the basis of our experiences during the attack of the government in 1919-20, when the Party was driven under- ground—that the core of the Party and its leadership are sound and will, with the help of the Comintern, smash the Right danger. The following basic tasks confront us in connection with the re- currence of Trotskyism and the Right danger in the Party: 1. No tolerance of Trotskyism in the ranks of the Party. We call upon all District Executive Committees and all subdivisions of the Party to expel all followers of Trotsky. Trotskyism.

The frankest, most. thorough self-criticism is necessary, from the top to the bottom in the Party. 6. Merciless struggle against any manifestation of bureaucratism in the Party. An absolutely prerequisite ‘for a successful fight against the Right danger, whether it comes in the form of open opportunism or camouflaged with left phrases in the form of Trotskyism, is the unity of all Communist forces under the leadership of the CEC for the line of the Communist International. The CEC herewith expresses its* most determined, most sincere wish to achieve Party unity. The surest way to deal a crushing, death-blow to Trotskyism, to the Right danger, is the speedy, thorough unifieation of all Communist forces in the Party. The Communist International rejected the charge of the Opposi- tion that the present CEC is a Right group. To continue the fight against the CEC as a Right group is, therefore, a fight against the CI decision, and most seriously weakens the fight against the Right danger, especially in its sharpest expression, Trotskyism. The CEC call upon all comrades, regardless of their former group- ings, to unite on the basis of unreserved acceptance of all the de- cisions of the Communist International—the American decision as well ‘as all the others, of which the American is only an organic part. The CEC earnestly pledges itself to take every possible. measure to facilitate the realization of this end—the speediest and complete unity of the Communist forces for the Leninist line of the Comintern.

The Right danger EDITOR'S NOTE instruction of the Central Executive | Committee of the Wor s (Communist) Party, the Daily Worker prints herewith a statement made by three former members of the Party, J. P. Cannon, formerly a member of the Political Committee, Martin Abern, formerly a member of the Central Executive Commit- tee, and Max Schachtman, formerly an alternate of the Central Execs utive Committee. The document, in which the three signers attack the Communist International end the Workers (Communist) Party under cover of the worn-out phrases employed by Trotsky, Ruth | Fischer, Maslow and other renegades from the Communist movement, | is published for the information of the members of the Party. The | attitude of the Committee in condemnation of the document and its | signers is expr in the statement of the Central Executive Com- mittee, published in this same issue under the title: “The Struggle | Against Trotskyism and the Right Danger.” | (1) In view of the necessity of p upon our Party. bureau- concentrating the attention of ic secretariai method of dealing | the Party on the election camp: disputed principle questions , we have refrained up till now from) must be emphatically rejected by | any statement or step caleu the Party both in form and content, epen a Part nee they have nothing in common questions until the election ¢: with Lenin’s teaching regarding the will have ended and the pre deological leadership of all Com- | tion discu: munist Parties by the Comintern | in views on a /and the unremitting struggle against of fun damental questions vit- |¢pportunism on all fronts, ally affecting the Whole future of (8) The present attempt of some | the Pa and the Comintern which |of the leaders of the Foster-Bittel- | it-was our intention to bring before |man group who signed the document | the Party in the pre-convention dis- on the “Right Danger” to abandon eel peri that platform, to moderate the #\(3) The “d sion” of these |“ttuggle against the Lovestone- “dhestions conducted up till now has |Fepper right wing, and to effect a} not been a real discussion, gince | Political coalescence with them in| many of the documents—in out opin- some of the most important po- jorder to direct their attack against |those who remain true to that plat- | form and develop its logical and in- itical documents of our time—have pe suppressed and concealed from |¢vitable international implications, ithe Parties of the Comintern or |i no way alters the fundamental presented to them in garbled form. |°orrectness, cf the document.

The plat- form of the Russion opposition, prepared for the Fifteenth Con- | gress of the C. P. S. U,, indicates the revolutionary policy of the present situation in the Soviet Union. The prediction and warn- ing contained in this platform against the inevitable growth and aggression of a genuine right wing in the Party (Rykov, Tom- sky, ete.) has been precisely con- firmed in the intervening period, particularly in recent months. The activities of this right wing, which have already necessitated erganizational measures in the Moscow and other organizations of the Party, is a proof of the awakening of the proletarian masses of the Party to this dan- ger. The “left” course of the Stalin group in the direction of a | struggle against the right dan- gers, for Party democracy and self-criticism, against the bureau- crats, the Nepmen and the Kulaks, can become a real left course only insofar as’ it abandons zig-zag movements, adopts the whole shee of the oppositicn, and einstates the tested Bolshevik fighters, who have been expelled, to their rightful places in the Party. (c) The attempts to revise the Marxist-Leninist doctrine with the spurious theory of “So- cialism in one country” have been rightly resisted by the opposition led by Trotsky. A number of re- visionist and opportunist errors in various fields of Comintern activ- qast five years, together with the rapid confirmation of their correct- iness by the whole course of cvents, ave shaped our views and convic- tibns. We consider ‘tionary duty to defend these views before the Party. 7 (4) We had intended to under- take this task at the opening of the Party discussion after the election | ¢ampaign. However, the arbitrary actions already taken against us {our removal from our positions in the I. L.D. on Oct.16) and the plain indications shown in the present hearing of the intention to take fur- ther organizational measures and to ‘begin a public campaign against us in the Party press, ‘make it neces- sary to state our position without fnrther delay. It must be made clear to the Party that the mea- sures are being taken against us solely because of our political views. These views must be presented to the Party as they really are. (5) We present them here in cutline form and will elaborate on them more fully in our appeal to the | Executive | Plenum of the Central Committee against the actions taken ty the Polcom. (6) We stand on the main line of the document entitled “The Right Danger in the nerican Party” (excepting certain erroneous formu- lations deal'ng with the world posi- tion and role of American imperial- | ism), presented to the Sixth World Congress of the Comintern by the delegation of the opposition, im the drafting of which we actively ticipated. / t forth in this docu- ment, we be! eve that the present leadership of the Party, mechan- ically imposed upon the Party by the EB. C. OC, I. against the will of the membership, is a consciously de- veloping right wing, whose course | and actions are all in the direction ef undermining the position of the Party in the class struggle. ent on “The Right Danger in confirmed and not s imate.

(9) The problems of the Ameri- can Party are organically bound up with the fundamental questions con- |fronting the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Comintern |and cannot be solved separately from them. The left wing of the Ameri- | can Party, taking shape in the prin- ciple struggle against the right wing leadership of the Party (Love- stone-Popper group) will go forward enly insofar as it recognizes the | necessity of a struggle against the | right danger on an international scale and links up its fight in the American Party with the Bolshevik fight for the fundamental tenets of Leninism in the Communist Party ef the Soviet Union and in the Com- intern. (10) The opposition in the Com- munist Party of the Soviet Union, led by L. D. Trotsky, has been fight- ing for the unity of the Comintern and all its sections on the basis of the victory of Leninism. The cor- lvectness of the position taken by the Russian opposition over a period of five yea » of struggle has been jfully confirmed by events, (a) The struggle led by Trot- sky since 1923 for Party democ- racy znd against bureaucratism | as the pressure of another class | upon the Party of the proletariat, was absolutely correct then and is even more so now. ‘The adoption | of this position by Zinoviev, Ka~ | menev, and others in 1926, and the attempt of Stalin to adopt it now, demonstrates the tremendous | pressure of class forces which im- pel the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to this platform. The for Party democracy, against bureaucratism and for a regime of genuine Leninist self- criticism are burning questions now for every Party and for the Comintern as a whole, * (b) The necessity for a more relentless struggle against the Kulak and the Nepman—for an crientation exclusively upon the workers and hired hands, united with the village poor and lower peasantry and in alliance with the middle peasantry—proclaimed by the opposition, becomes clearer every day. The trend of events. ana the irresistible pressure of class forces is already driving a deep cleavage in the leadership of the Commuhist Party of the Soviet Union and is forcing the | struggle i Gisinranne reeteeartmmniann nsession: increta ity and its ideological life in gen- eral have proceeded from this false theory. To this in part at least can be traced’ the false line of the Chinese revolution, the de- bacle of the Anglo-Russian Com- mittee, the alarming and unpre- cedented growth of bureaucratism in the Comintern, an incorrect at- titude and policy in the Soviet Union, ete. This new “theory” is bound up with an over-emphasis | on the power and duration of the temporary stabilization of capital- ism. Herein lies the true source of pessimism regarding the devel- opment of the proletarian world revolution. One of the principal duties of every Communist in every Party of the Comintern is to fight along with the opposition for the teachines of Marx, Engels and Lenin on this basic question. (d) The opposition was abso- lutely correct when it demanded the immediate rupture of the Anglo-Russian Committee and the. concentration of all the fire of the Cominter and the British Party upon the leaders of the British Trade Union General Council (Purcell, ‘ks and Co.) immediately after the betrayal of the General Strike, The maintenance of the Anglo- Russian Committee after that event did not serve as a bridge to the British masses, but as a par- tial shield of the traitorous lead- crs from the fire of the Commu- nists, (e) Rarely before in history has a Marxist-Leninist appraisal and forecast been so completely and swiftly confirmed as in the case of the opposition theses and proposals (Trotsky, Zinoviev) on the problems and tasks of the Chi- nese revolution. The line of the E. C. C. L, formulated by Stalin, Bukharin, Martynow, etc., and the rejection of the proposals of the cpnosition, which were suppressed and concealed from the Parties of the Com'ntern, have brought catastrophic results and hampered the genuine development of the Communist Party of China and the revolutionary democratic dic. tatorship of the workers and pea- sants, In view of its world torical importance, a real discus- sion of the problems of the Chi- nese revolution, with all the docu ments being made available, is imperative for all Parties of the Comintern, The prohibition of this discussion must be broken down, the truth must be told and the enormous errors exposed down to their roots. Only in this way can the great lessons of the Chi- nese revolution be learned by the Parties of the Comintern, (11) We demand the publication {leadership in relation to all mass {of all the documents of the Russian| organizations and mass work. opposition without which the Party (16) By its whole character the ‘members do not and cannot know] Lovestone leadership is the “logi- | the essential issues of the struggle | cal” American banner-bearer of the d cannot form intelligent opinions | demagogic and unscrupulous inter-| jin regard to them.

All | this has been part of a campaign of | junparalleled slander against Trot- sky who, after Lenin, was the out- standing leader of the Russian rev- | jolution and the Comintern, and was | eecompanied by the falsification of | the history of the revolution itself. | | (12) We intend, at the coming |Plenum of the Central Executive | |Committee, to propose that our Party shall take the initiative in de- |manding the return from exile and the reinstatement into the Commu- |nist Party of the Soviet Union with | full rights, of Trotsky and the other limprisoned and exiled members of the Russian opposition. Violence | jand persecution against counter- | revolutionaries is a revolutionary \duty; violence and persecution against tried and loyal Bolsheviks | is a crime. (18) The consdlidation of the op- |pesition in the American Party, jwhich logically and __ inevitably | merges with the part of the oppo- sition in the Communist Party of |the Soviet Union led by Trotsky, has developed in the struggle jagainst the right danger. The piti- ;ful agtempt to characterize this op- position as a “right” tendency, re- lated to non-Communist elements |such as Lore who have been fight- ling the Party from the right, and anti-Communist elements like Sa- lutsky, who have gone completely |cver to the side of the labor lieuten- ants of capitalism, does not in the |least correspond with political real- lity and is designed to cover the pro- gressive drift of the Party leader- ship to the right. On the contrary, the attemnts to exclude us from re- | sponsible Party work, and even from \the Party itself, aleng with the pro- een Communists who support | | us, while at the same time the con- \trol of the Party apparatus and the |Party ieadership in such unions as |the needle trades consolidates more firmly in the hands of the oppor- tinists, who fight their Communist- worker critics with expulsion and physical violence—all this can only accelerate the rapprochement be- ‘tween the right wing leadership of the Party and right wing and petty |bourgeois elements now outside the | Party. | (14) The Lovestone group lead- ‘ership, by’ its opportunist political outlook, its petty bourgeois origin, its corrupt factionalism, its career- ism and adventurism in the class struggle, is the greatest menace to the Party. Its mechanical grip on the apparatus of the Party grows steadily tighter and chokes out its inner life. Capable, experienced |}and trustworthy comrades are one by one removed from responsible | | posts and replaced by faction agents, Jincompetents, upstarts, tinknown and ‘inexperienced in any serious jwork in the class struggle. The | Party itself, the"nass work and the | mass organizations under the in- \fluence and direction of the Party, are thereby undermined. (15) The action of the Polcom in arbitrarily removing us from our positions in the ILD where we have worked loyally and effectively for the building of this mass organiza- tion, for our political views alone, is a most ill-considered and danger- ous step, fraught with the gravest consequences to the future of the, I.-L. D. There has never been any criticism of our work in the ILD by the political committee of the Party. the executive committee of the ILD or by any of the three national con- ferences of the ILD, All of these bodies have uniformly endorsed and commended our attivity in this capacity, The disruption of the work which will be caused by our unjus- tified removal and the certainty that we will be replaced by incom- petent faction agents, in no way in- terested in this work or qualified to perform. it, cannot but bring the most harmful results, Such actions demonstrate rnin the reckless ir- responsibility of the’ present Party | secure their escape thereby the Yactional persecu- tion of the Lovestone group and to} organizational _posi- tions can only. succeed insofar as, they surrender their former oppo- sition standpoint. The whole course of the Lovestone group, which has |no roots in the labor movement, is toward a monopoly of the Party ap- paratus and cannot be otherwise. (17) We declare our intention to appeal to the plenum of the cen- tral executive committee to reverse the action of the Poleom against us, | HILFERS SELLS QUT TIRE STRIKE Rubber Workers Bitter in Denouncing Faker Continued from Page One do not like it can get out and stay out,” the superintendent is telling the workers. Hilfers fought against | the organization of a Rubber Work- ers’ Union andjthe men and women workers now have no strong organ- ization to support their demands or to protect them from the brutal con- ditions Michelin imposes on them. As a result the pitiful wages in the Michelin plant will be cut from three and one-half cents to five and one-half cents per hour. The Michelin bosses have utilized their opportunity to abolish the three shift system and will change to one shift. Michelin has used this change for a pretext to dis- charge many workers known to have been active in the strike. The head of the first strike committee formed when the walkout was de- cided on was among the first to be fired. The bosses and their agent Hil- fers have no intention of letting the workers slip from their grasp again. Together they are backing the pro- posal for a school where the for-| eign-born workers will be taught English, they claim, The real pur- pose of the school, however, is to spread propaganda for the Michelin bosses. The author of this scheme to control the workers further is said to be the diminutive “reporter from a local paper,” who was con- stantly observed by the strikers hovering furtively around Hilfers and his meetings during the strike. Workers Back Militants. Denouncing Hilfers, many of the | workers today expressed bitter re- gret that they had not more con- sistently followed the lead of the militants who urged mass _picket- ing, a wage increase, and the forma- tion of a strong rubber workers’ organization which would be able to support the workers’ demands against the Michelin. » “We have learned a lesson,” one of a group of workers told G. Sig- nor, militant organizer, today. “We know you and we are with you from now on.” Widespread discontent prevails in the Michelin plant today and bitter resentment against the betrayal of Hilfers, which many of the rubber workers now understand. which is motivated by neither’ prin- eiple foundation nor Party interest, and is the result purely of factional eongiderations and bureaucratic fear | of discussion and criticism. (18) The arbitrary decisions made against us cannot in the slight- lest degree change our position as Communists, since the Party we) helped to found and build is our Party. Reserving the right to .ex- press our viewpoint and opinion on these disputed questions, we will continue to adhere to the discipline and decisions of the Party as here- |tofore, Under all circumstances we will continue to live with the Party and work for its future. | (19) We demand that simultane- | ously with the announcement of the | | decision of the Polcom on the out-| come of this hearing, our statement | shall be given to the Party in the same manner. | (Signed) J.
