} | DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1929 = (Today the Daily Worker prints the tenth instalment of the theses of the Communist International on “The International Situation and the Tasks of the Communists,” adopted at its recent sessions in Moscow. Publication of these theses will be completed with the next instalment.—E DITOR) * * * AMERICAN PARTY. | g a 82. The Workers (Communist) Party of America has displayed. | more lively activity and has taken advantage of the symptoms of crisis in American industry and the growth of unemployment (caused by the extremely rapid rise in the organic composition of capital and the development of the technique of production). A number of stubborn and fierce class battles (primarily the min- ers’ strike) found in the Communist Party a stalwart leader. The cam- paign against the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti was also conducted under the leadership of the Party, within which is observed a slacken- ing of the long standing factional struggle. i | While recording successes, however, references must be made to a number of Right mistakes committed in connection with the socialist party; to the fact that the Party has not with sufficient energy con- ducted work for the organization of the unorganized and for the or- ganization of the Negro movement, and to the fact that it fails to carry on a sufficiently impressionable struggle against the predatory policy of the United States in Latin America. These mistakes, how- ever, cannot be ascribed exclusively to the Majority leadership, On the question of organizing a labor party, the Congress re- solves: that the Party concentrates on the work in the trade unions, on organizing the unorganized, etc., and in this way lay the basis for the practical realization of the slogan of a broad labor party, organ- ized from below. The most important task confronting the Party is to . Put an end to the factional strife—which is not based on any serious differences on principles—and at the same time to increase the re- cruiting of workers into the Party and to give a definite stimulus to the promotion of workers to leading posts in the Party. JAPANESE PARTY, 58. The Communist Party of Japan, with its underground ap- paratus, has made its first entry into the electoral struggle. Not- NTERNATIONAL SITUATION AND TASKS OF THE COMMUN withstanding the terror, it carries on mass agitational work, pub- lishes an illegal organ, carries through mass campaigns, (for exam- ple the campaign of protest against the dissolution of the three mass organizations: Rodo Nominto, the Hyogikai—left wing trade union federation—and the youth organization), The principal task confronting the Party, which is overcoming its internal ideological waverings, is to proceed along the path of con- verting itself into a mass Party. In order to achieve this, persistent work must be carried on among the masses of the proletariat and in the trade unions and'the fight must be conducted for trade union unity. Work must also be carried on among the masses of the peasantry, particularly on the basis of the tenant-farmer movement. Notwith- standing the difficult conditions under which the Party has to work (the Jaw inflicting the death penalty for “dangerous thoughts”) and the numerical weakness of the Party, it must exert every effort to defend the Chinese Revolution and to fight against the predatory policy of Japanese imperialism. CHINESE PARTY. 54, The Communist Party of China has suffered a series of severe defeats due to a number of grave opportunist errors committed in the past: viz. lack of independence from and failure freely to criti- cize the Kuomintang; the failure to understand that the revolution preparations for resistance, and finally, its retarding of the agrarian revolution. Under the blows of defeat the Party has heroically recti- fied its mistakes and declared ruthless war on opportunism. Its leaders, however, committed a mistake of another kind in fail- ing to put up sufficient resistance to obvious putschist and adventurist other places. portunist errors: they began to advance the slogan of a National As- sembly, The Congress considers it to be absolutely wrong to regard the Canton uprising as a putsch. The Canton uprising was an heroic rear- guard action of the Chinese proletariat in the preceding period of the revolution, and notwithstanding the grave errors committed by the leaders in the course of the rising, it marks the beginning of the new Soviet phase of revolution. was passing from one stage to another and the necessity for timely | moods, which led to the unsuccessful uprisings in Hunan, Hupeh and | On the other hand, several comrades dropped into op- | PRINCIPAL TASKS FACING CHINESE C. P. The principal tasks confronting the Party in the present situation, in the trough of two waves of the revolution, are to fight for the masses; to carry on mass work among the workers and peasant 0 restore their organizations and to take advantage of all discontent with the landowners, the bourgeoisie, the militarists and the foreign im- perialists for the purpose of developing the revolutionary struggle. To achieve this, it is necessary to strengthen the Party itself in every way. The slogan of mass uprising now becomes a propaganda slogan; and only to the extent that the masses are really prepared and the con- ditions for a fresh revolutionary tide mature, will it again become the slogan of immediate practice on a higher plane, under the banner of the dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry based on Soviets. LATIN AMERICAN PARTIES. 55. In the Latin American countries the principal task of the Communists is to organize and consolidate the Communist Parties, In some countries, (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay) Com- munist Parties have been in existence for several years, and conse- genuine mass parties. In several other countries, independent Com- munist Parties, organized as proletarian parties, do not yet exist, The Congress instructs the E. C. C. I. to devote more attention to the Latin-American countries generally and to draft a “program of action” for the parties in these countries (which among other ques- tions should include the extremely important agrarian peasant ques- tion and the question of combating United States imperialism). The E. C. C. I. must secure the definite organization of these Parties; see that proper relations are established between them and the non-Party organizations (trade unions, peasant unions); that they proper work among the masses; that they consolidate and broaden the trade unions, unify and centralize them, etc. COMMUNIST GROWTH IN SOUTH AFRICA. 56. The Congress notes a growth of Communist influence in South Africa, The Congress imposes the obligation upon all Communists there to take up as their central tasks the organization of the toiling Negro masses, the strengthening of Negro trade unions and the fight against “white chauvinism.” The fight against foreign imperialism in all its forms; the advo- quently, the task that now confronts them is to strengthen themselves | | ideologically and organizationally and to transform themselves into | carry on /| cacy of complete and absolute equality for Negroes; strenuous struggle against all exceptional laws against Negroes; determined support for the fight against driving the peasants from the land; to organize the peasants for the struggle for the agrarian revolution, while at the same time strengthening the Communist groups and Parties—such must be the fundamental tasks of the Communists in these countries. SOVIET UNION COMMUNIST PARTY. 57. The Congress notes with special satisfaction that in the U. S. S. R., the land of the proletarian dictatorship, the Party of the prole- tariat, the C. P. 8. U. (Bolsheviki), after overcoming the social demo- cratic Trotskyist deviations in its ranks and after overcoming a number of the objective economic difficulties arising in the reconstruction per- iod, has achieved important successes in the work of building up so- | cialism in the U, S. S. R. and has proceeded now to take up the work for the socialist reorganization of peasant economy. Work for the building up of socialism in the U. §. S. R. must henceforth develop on the basis of the industrialization of the country as a whole and on the basis of intensified socialist construction in the countryside (Soviet farms, collective farms and the organization of in- dividual farms into mass co-operative farms). Simultaneously with this work, the Leninist slogan concerning reliance upon the rural poor, alliance with the middlé peasants and struggle against the kulak (rich farmer) must be systematically carried out. | COMBATTING BUREAUCRACY. | The Congress places on record that the C. P. U. (Bolsheviki), has taken timely note of the elements of bureaucracy and conser ism in certain links of the state, economic, trade union, and even the Party ‘pparatus and that it is conducting a strong campaign against these tendencies, The development of self-criticism; the intensification of the strug- gle against bureaucracy; the rallying of the forces and unfolding the i s of the working class—which commands the hegemony in the whole revolutionary development of the U. S. S. R.—represent the most important tasks of the Party. The Congre: presses the conviction that the Party will not only emerge victoriously from the economic dif- ficulties arising from the general backwardness of the country, but— with the aid of the whole of the international proletariat—will also emerge victoriously from the external conflicts, for which the ruling groups in imperialist states are systematically preparing.

Second and Third Periods: The second period was “the period lof gradual and partial stabilization lof the capitalist system, of the pro- jcesses of “restcration” of capitalist conomy, ¢f the general capitalist ffensive and of defensive battles fought by the proletarian army weakened by severe defeats.” * Also the peried of rapid restoration in the USSR snd of extremely impor- tant successes in the work of build- ng up Socialism.”* This period nded when European imperialism jeachec its pre-war production, and When the USSR reached it in a humber of basic industries.

The present period of partial “stabilization” is growing into a period of cataclysms. The road to the coming general crisis and explosion of capitalism is blazed by a complex of contra- dictions: a. International: antagonisms be- tween capilalist states, also be- tween capitalism and the U.S. S. R. b. Internal (for each country): intensification of the class-struggle; increase in the rate of exploitation; rapid development of capitalist ra- tionalization; growth of unemploy- ment; worsening of the standard of living of the proletariat; ruination of the petty-bourgoisie; but also the increasing resistance of the workers expressing itself in the swing of the working-class masses t the Left; the strengthening of the posi- |tion of Commurism in the interna- | tional labor movement. ¢c.
