PARTY PRE-CONVENTION DISCUSSION SECTION \\ tf D. AILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1929 Page Three The Struggle Against the Right Danger and Against Cannon-Trotsky Opposition 1, The Polcom of District No. 13, on receiving the decision of the Pol- com regurding the expulsion of Can- non, Abern and Shachtman, about Nov, 3, immediately passed @ resolu- tion supporting the expulsion of these comrades, and to wage a fight against the Cannon, Abern and Shachtman group. We, the District Executive Com- stand of the Polcom and present the following resolution on the entire situation regarding both the Right danger in our Party and the Trotsky danger -(left deviation). . 2. We endorse the action of the Political Committee in expelling Cannon, Abern and Shachtman and ull others who have refused to break with, or continue to support them. We pledge ourselves to fight against Trotskyism, as a_ leftist deviation from Leninism, leading to social democracy and counter-revolu- tion. We pledge ourselves to fight against the Right danger. 3.

The District Committee pledges itself to continue the suc- cessful fight against Trotskyism on the one hand, and against the Right dangers on the other hand. In order to carry on these strur- gles, the District Committee will analyze carefully our work and fur- |ther mobilize our membership for |more intensive work among the (masses. In our anii-imperialist work, al- though we have taken a lead in the | work among the Chinese and Japa- ese workers, still we have not yet sufficiently made the large non-Par- |ty organizational gains to build up strong anti-imperialist committees. This work must be intensified. We must be able to overcome our shortcomings in not being able to build up more shop nuclei and stronger ones where they exist. The election campaign and the re- sults of same have shown that we have made concrete results in spite jof the fact that we have not gotten on the ballot. However, it must be lpointed out, had we gotten on the |ballot, it would have been a major jsuecess for our Party as a whole. |The line in our campaign to further lize our experience so that we can immediately proceed after the \clection campaign to place the Party | \cfficially on the ballot, is now be- ing worked out in detail by the Dis- trict Executive Committee. These activities and our penetra- |tion among the iumber and agricul- | |tural workers, as is seen in the or- | |panizing of a nucleus among the QUESTION OF THE OPEN LETTER TO SOCIALISTS | BY CALIF.

It is obvious from the whole text of my telegram that i an instruction to attack the socialist party publicly, challe Maurer to a debate. It does not propose a letter to the socialist party, still less to its executive. It proposes an open challenge to Maurer in the capitalist press and in the form of a printed circular announcing our own meeting. It does not offer joint auspices but demands that he appear at our meeting. 2. Nevertheless, I declare that I m in using the term “open letter” because, although I meant public challenge, the term “open letter” has a history because of its united front us Also I undevsstimated the degree of opportunistic degeneration of the leadership of the California D’ ict not believing that after re- peated decisions of the Communist International and the Central Executive Party they could still do such things as write a letter to the officials of the socialist party, addressing them “dear comrades,” complain that they are “not participating in the class struggle,” etc: * * * The Following Are the Decisions of the Political Committee: 1. The Polcom disapproves of the use of the words “open lette in Comrade Wolfe's telegram because they are liable to misinterpr tation and were especially careless in view of the opportunist char- acter of the district leadership to which it was addressed. 2. Nevertheless the Polcom declares that from the text of Com- rade Wolfe's telegram it is obvious that he is advising a public chal- lenge and attack on the socialist party, which is entirely correct, and not an open letter to the state committee as written by the California District Organizer. 3. Since the district organizer of the California district has sent a counter-letter to the California units against the Central Exec- utive Committee letter alleging Comrade Wolfe's telegram as an excuse, failing to recognize his error, defending it and attacking the Central Executive Committee, therefore the Polcom decides to com- municate the text of Comrade Wolfe’s statement, his telegram, and these motions to the units in California as part of a letter on the Right danger in California, the failure to get on the ballot there, errors made, the necessity for self-criticism, and a fight against Right danger and Trotskyism in our Party. £panish workers, and our beginning among the marine workers with the ganizing of the Marine Workers’ Progressive League, gives us a base for further work in reaching the masses, The successful fight against reac- tionaries in the needle trades, as in the formation of the N.O.C. unions.in |Los Angeles and San Francisco; our |stubborn and continued fight in the building trades, show the possibi ties for work among the masses, jgers and all its manifestations. | We urge the Party to reject Trot- \skyism and defeat and liquidate the | Trotsky Opposition of Cannon. | We urge the membership to fol- |low and. fight for the line cf the |Communist International. We also support the statement jof Aronberg, Biitelman and Foster, |sabmitted to the Political Commit- {tee on Oct. 16, and which appears in |the statement of the C. E.

We will be able to hammer out a streng Rolshevist Leninist Party to ¢ the war danger, particularly here on the Pacific Coast. 11.

SERB DICTATOR - HIDES TERROR Latest News Says All Unions Are Banned VIENNA, Jan. 13.—With a com- plete censorship existing thruout Yugoslavia, clapped upon foreign vorrespondents, and all outgoing mail censored, news reaching here from Melegrade, the center of the military dictatorship, is fragmen- tary. , News that came thru yesterday stated that all trade unious were banned, the headquarters of the more militant unions raided and many officials jailed. The same terror is exercised by the military dictatorship thruout the country, especially against the peasants and the national minorities who are clamoring for autonomy. News- papers. which print anything but praise of the bloody dictatorship are: immediately confiscated. The latest case of which there is news is that of the Novosti, leading bour- geois paper in Belgrade, whose edi- tion was confiscated yesterday for Tribesmen, Troops on |Clash; Police Retreat JERUSALEM, Jan. 11.—Reports of serious fighting on the Turco- Syrian frontier between groups of | lvebelling tribesmen and Syrian| |troops were reported here today. | |The fighting reached a climax when |automobiles, containing military of- ficials, were attacked.

We wholeheartedly endorse the Nov. 16 statement of the Cen- tral Committee against the Right danger and Trotskyism in the Amer- ican Party and greet ihe prompt and decisive measures which the C. E. C. has adopted in expelling Can- non, Schachtman and Abern. 2, We pledge ourselves to carry on an uncompromising struggle against social-democratic, counter- revolutionary Trotskyism, which is today the rallying center of all the enemies of the Soviet Union and the Communist International, which ts in the United States a cowardly capitulation before the tremendous difficulties facing the Communist Party—amounting to a complete retreat before the strength of American imperialism. /8.. We recognize that in the pres- cnt objective situation the, Right danger—outright | opportunism—is the main danger and Trotskyism in its pi t—the last—stage of its development is, in spite of its left phraseology, really opportunist to the core, 4. We furthermore recognize the great danger of outright opportun- ism manifested in our District Ex- ecutive Committee (District 13). (a) Looseness of attitude toward the socialist. party (addressing an open letter to the state executive committee of the socialist party); (b) inactivity in Negro work (in the entire district only three Negro comrades); (c) lack of activity in anti-imperialist work (failure to demonstrate our support to the movement in Nicaragua); (d) lack of faith in the role of the Party and especially in the membership (failure to put the Party on the bal- lot in the last el&tion campaign); (f) complete failure in building the International Labor Defense and the W. I. R.; (g) organizing relief conference for the striking miners in Colorado and not including relief for Tennsylvania, E. Ohio miners, and complete neglect to assist the textile strikers with relief, etc.; (h) the mistakes in the unemployment campaign. 5.. We believe that the fight against Trotskyism and the Right danger can be carried to its’fuil suc- cess only under the leadership of the Communist International. Reser- vations to the Sixth World Congress of the C. I. and to the decisions of the Executive Committee of the C. I. must result in the undermining of the confidence of the workers in the C, I. and weaken the struggle against Trotskyism and the Right denger. 6. We repudiate the statement “Right danger in the American Party,” printed in the anti-Soviet, renegade Trotskyist-Cannon organ, “The Militant,” and also protest against the Opposition in the Party and their shanieful demand to print the above document in the Daily Worker. We instead accept with- out reservations the C. I. decision, which states, “The charge that the present C. E. C. has Right wing policies is unfounded.” 7. We express our confidence in the C. E. ©. and pledge our full support against Trotskyism and the Right danger as it has been pointed jnear the army air depot, today.
