Following is a corrected list of those who voted in favor of the C. E. C. resolution on “Trotskyism and the Right Danger” in Section 5: T. Yakcleff, S. Mesnil, E. Baum, Fannie Rurgin, H. Segal, N. Amron, |S. LeRoy, Margolis, I. Stamler and L. Hofbauer, Against the Right Danger in Recent events in the Communist parties of the Soviet Union and Germany have proved the correctness of the thesis of the Sixth World Congress of the Comintern which stated that the main danger facing the Communist movement today is the right danger. Based on more detailed information the Central Executive Com- mittee reaffirms its decision of November 14th, fully endorsing the position of the Plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Party Conference of the Com- munist Party of Germany in their fight against the right danger. The gigantic work of Socialist construction—the building of the basis of Socialism, of heavy industry, and the collectivization of agriculture—is the most important event of the international labor movement as a whole. The building of Socialism, the realization of industrialization in the Soviet Union means a renewed fortification of the proletarian stronghold in contraposition to the menacingly growing Anglo-American imperialist rivalry on the capitalist pole of the world situation. Trotskyism—in over-estimating the capitalist forces, in advo- cating a policy of over-industrialization, of breaking the alliance of the working class with the peasantry, in spreading dishelief in the possibility of building Socialism in one country—represents the “left” danger in the Soviet Union and leads to the restoration of capitalism, But after the decisive defeat of Trotskyism, organizationally as well as ideologically, the main danger today in the Soviet Union is out- right opportunism, which underestimates the strength of the kulaks and Nepmen; refuses to see the intensification of the class struggle in the Soviet Union, demands the slowing down of industrialization, spreads skepticism about the possibility of the collectivization of 4 agriculture—all of which means the disarming of the Communist Party and the working class before the class enemy and increases the chances for the reestablishment of capitalism in the Soviet Union. Not only the interests of the working class of the Soviet Union but the interests of the international proletariat also demand an uncompromising struggle against Trotskyism, against outright op- portunistic tendencies, and against all tolerance towards such ten- dencies, all conciliatory attempts to cover up and protect such outright opportunism. The Central Executive Committee of the Workers (Communist) Party of America declares its full solidarity with the Central Com- mittee of the Communist Party of Germany and with the position of the recent Party Conference of the Communist Party of Germany. We congratulate our German brother party on its decisive victory over the out-and-out opportunistic Brandler group, which puts for- ward the platform of democratic reformism instead of the prole- tarian revolution, which tries to make a compromise with the “left” Social Democratic leadership instead of an uncompromising struggle against this worst enemy of Communism, which represents today an openly anti-Comintern group of liquidators. The Party Conference of the Communist Party of Germany correctly characterizes the the Soviet Union and Germany ‘Declaration of Central Executive Committee of Workers (Communist) Party Ewert-Gerhart group as one of conciliation and toleration towards the opportunism of the Brandlerites. The group of conciliators re- fuses to recognize the right danger as the chief danger facing the Communist Party of Germany and the Comintern as a whole. The attitude of this group of conciliators is the more dangerous because in words they try to make a distinction between themselves and the outright opportunist Brandler group, while in reality they hinder the liquidation of opportunism by accepting the Comintern decisions only with reservations. The Party Conference of the Communist Party of Germany was absolutely correct in condemning this attitude of the group of conciliators and declaring that it is impossible to separate in a mechanical way the estimation of the political policies of the Party from the inner party course. In fighting the present leadership the Central Committee of the German Party, the concilia- tory group renders objective help to the opportunism of the renegade Brandler group. The Communist Party of Germany cannot develop into the victorious leader of the German proletarian revolution with- out cleansing its ranks of the Brandlerites and liquidating the group of conciliators. The new Trotskyist outbreak in the ranks of the Workers (Com- munist) Party” of America creates a grave situation for our party. The renegade Cannon group is making frantic efforts to split the Party. Trotskyism in America today is an openly counter-revolution- ary Social Democratic ideology. The Trotskyist group around Cannon, Lore and Eastman is an open ally of the capitalists, the Government, the Socialist Party, the A. F. of L., in their attempts to destroy the Communist Party. Trotskyism as it appears today in the United States is the most consistent system of opportunism. The platform of Trotskyism in America today is the rallying center of all right elements within and outside the Communist Party. The complete liquidation of Trotskyism in our Party can be achieved only by an uncompromising, relentless struggle against all manifestations of the right-danger, by means of merciless self-criticism of all mistakes and errors made by the C. E. C. and the Party as a whole, by a complete mobilization of all Party forces against the renegades, near-Social Democrats, splitters, and liquidators. Only the line of the Communist International can be the basis of a fight against the right danger and Trotskyism. The acceptance of all decisions of the Communist International without any reservations is the prerequisite of a suc- cessful fight against the right danger and Trotskyism. Any tendency which declares that the present Central Executive Committee of our Party is the main danger and that Trotskyism—which tries to split of arms and necessity for providing! for fresh eonquests of American im- perialism abroad will provide a con- venient excuse for postponing in- definitely any action on farm relief. The republican spell-binders, as well as the democratic, during the presidential campaign made free use of promises to the farmers that something would be done to alleviate | the distress in rural regions. Such promises now become liabilities, as everyone knows no considerable re- lief short of abandoning the capi- talist system can be afforded, and| even slight relief would be unthink- able, as it would be possible only at the expense of the bankers, grain elevator, grain purchasing groups, and agricultural implement and fertilizer companies which at pres- ent have a strangle-hold on farm economics. Dodge the Recerd. Moreover, the farmers have shown some signs lately that they see thru the fake plans proposed. In this lilemma, the congressmen going out of office desire not to be on record, and those remaining in wish to post- pone the reckoning by any means possible. A convenient excuse now is, “Wait for Hoover.” Boulder dam will come up first in the senate, and seems likely to go thru in an amended form—score one for the Southern California real estate boosters. To Build Cruisers, The Coolidge proposal for fifteen new cruisers will then be taken care of. After that, and with the big guaranteed, the intricacies of the Kellogg proposal, for a league against the U.S.S.R., under U. S. leadership instead of British, will be discussed, under the misleading title of “Anti-War treaties.” The treaties are supposed to come up for vote some time in January, after the Christmas recess. In the House everybody will be kept busy grinding out administra- tion bills for appropriations, the last whack at the pork barrel for some of the members. | Immigration law modifications (the question 0% “national origins”) | \the Vestris ing. .,,°\ 4) gives a possibility for a slap at British ship- MORE “DAILY” READERS, GOAL To Reach Masses in New Campaign 3 To place the circulation of the Daily Worker on a par with the in- fluence of the Communist-led left wing in the unions, cooperatives, fraternal and other workers’ organi- zations and thus raise the circula- tion in New York City alone to 25,- 000 or 35,000—was the concrete aim proposed to the Daily Worker agents by A. Ravitch, business man- ager of the Daily at their meeting Friday night. r Part of the blame for this not be- ing the case now, said Ravitch, was due to the inactivity of some of the Daily Worker agents. He praised the agents of sections 1 and 2, who brought in a large sum each week for the sustaining fund. Leo Kling of Section 1 received special men- tion for pushing the campaign ahead in every unit meeting and was thus able to bring in $80 to $100 each week. Mass distribution was the real solution of the problem, however, Ravitch continued. If the New York circulation could be built up to the figure mestioned about, there would be no need for the sustaining fund and the periodic drives, without which the paper can not continue under present conditions. The mass distribution in Harlem during. the Continued on Pege Two Weinstone Speaks on C. 1. Program Tuesday William W.
