DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1929 By W. Z. FOSTER. Before ehtering into the merits my cle appearing in the 8 number of “The Communi is now the cente: discussion, it i determine whether presented neces not th or in the article whether or not it is simply my is own ideas that I am now bri forward suddenly to the Party. Such an accusation the Minority sta’ Bittelman and othe 1 new, ng is made by ment of Comrade Almost with “We dis- { ing (rightly or wrongly we shall discuss later) to flee from it and this in-an absolutely impermissible manner. They are simply seeking to put forth their new line without formally disassociating themelves from the old line, and giving the necessary analysis. This is a total liquidation of Bolshevik self criti- | cism. The whole maneuver com- indignation they agree fundamenta with the analy- sis and point of view expressed by Comrade Foster in the article, which sharply departs from the line developed by the Minority.” The Majority polemic, on the other hand, does not make me _ person- ally responsible but blames it on the Minority generally, saying, “ whole conception of Comrade Fos ter and his associates in the Part which looks dical at first glance, is in reslity an opportunist conception, a Right deviation from the correct line of the Co:.munist International.” are, prises one of the most outstanding| nstances of irresponsible diplomatiz-| ing in the life of our Party. Comrade Bittelman calls the: line of the article “Foster's thecry of the declining role of social reform- ism.” (Wrong, what I speak of is its “changing” aspects, but we will pass that for the moment.) In it are two alleged genercl false assump- tions: (1) that the old trade unions are in crisis and decline, (2) that there is a developing merger of the ideologies and organizaticns of social reformism and bourgeois reformism. Comrade Bittelman con- so Thus both Majority and Minority solemnly swear themselves loose from the line of the article, the former blaming it upon the whole Minority and the latter ascribing it to me personally. But I dispute both 4hese contentions most emphatical- ly. I assert, and will prove, that the general line of the article was| ) until recent weeks the accepted theory of both Majority and Mino. ity. These comrades are now demns these ideas as dangerous in- novations. But it is my contention that instead of being new to us, something just developed in my ar-! ticle now under fire, they are very well-known acquaintances of ours. They represent a generally accepted line of the Party. -The documents of both the Majority and Minority) | comrades, as well as official Party! tatements unanimously adopted are} saturated with them. (1) THE DECLINE OF THE OLD UNIONS. Comrade Bittelman is especially exasperated that I should bring forth such a new conception as the decline of the old unions. He de- glares that it has nothing in common Wwith the line of the Minority. But detus see what the Minority thesis Says. It points out, among other sons for the disappearance of Labor Party movement “the gen- eral decline of the old trade union movement.” This was written by Comrade Bitteiman himself. In the ‘theSis section on Trade Union Work, Written by myself but gone over Sth a double microscope by Com- “fade Bittelman, occurs the follow- a “The old trade unions degener- ate~and crumble in the face of the ‘employers’ offensive.” And further ‘along in the same section, “The old trade unions continue their decline.” ‘These conceptions of the old ‘unions were adopted without ques- | tion not only by the Minority but | they were also not challenged in the ‘discussion by the Majority, who had the same idea, It is only now, when these comrades put forth a {new line surreptitiously, that objec- tion to them is raised upon their |re-appearance in my article. But this theory of the decline of the trade unions was not something that we first developed in the pres-| ‘ent Minority thesis. It also decurs in dozens of documents, articles, etc., of the past few years. So much im- |portance did we attach to this idea) that in the document “The Right Danger in the American Party” we accused the Majority of “Underes- timation cf the crisis in the trade unions,” which they indignantly de- nied.. They even claimed to see a bigger crisis than we did. Nor were they without ample documentary ‘evidence of theirs on the “decline.”' Thus, for e: stone, in h de Love- M May, mple, Co: “The Commu . y le entitled, “The Labor +] cl Movement’s Present Situation,” wrote under a special sub-title| blazened as, “The Crisis in the Trade Unions,” that the employers’ | offensive union movement to the most intense crisis in its career,” and much more to the same effect. In the May, 1928, “The Communist,” Comrade Pepper declared, “Recent articles by Comrade Foster give a clear and thorogoing analysis of the present crisis in the American labor move- ment. Developments in the past few weeks haye proven the correctness of this analysis.” The Party elec- tion platform also declares that, “The result of the offensive of the bosses and the treachery of the trade union bureaucrats is THE GROWING CRISIS IN THE LABOR MOVEMENT.” In view of this widespread ac- ceptance of the theory of the decline of the old unions, which Comrade Bittelman never in the least chal-| Without frankly telling the Party. man now finds himself in Opposi-|my article. 4 lenged until January 6th, it is im- The how and why of this I shall/tion to this general proposition, even | our task of writing the thesis I pro- | permissible to state that I am bring- | (2) THE MERGING OF SOCIAL AND BOURGEOIS REFOR! What Comrade Bittelman incor-, rectly calls “Foster’s theory of the declining: role of social reformism” I put forth in most complete form a year ago in a series of articles en- titled “Capitalist Efficiency Social- ism.” This analysis, which I shali deal with at length later on, points out that big capital in the recent period has depended more upon its own | bourgeois reformist apparatus to | spread ijlusions directly he A.
