The entrance to the headquarters was gained by jimmying the door. Among various records taken |were: Section industrial registva- tion, election campaign material with signatures recently collected, financial books and ledgers of ‘the section, minutes, etc., etc. > Lovestone answered the statement of the Central Committee on the’ National Office burglary with an fabusive denial, But this is: merel an attempt to deceive the’ worker and even hi owsn followers. Cort- tents of documents stolen from the National Office are already being circulated among the Lovestone splitters, thus placing the guilt for the burglary irrefutably upon Love- stone and his group. In his caucuses, Lovestone has-not |the courage to admit the robbery: \He feels that in case of admission, he will disillusion his few proleta~| rian followers. Indirectly, however, in a speech in his caucus on Wednes day at West 23rd St., he tried to prepare political justification of his \burglary by enunciating the theory of admissibility in “principle” of ex- propriation, To make this theory plausible, he makes an attempt to exempt the |Party offices from the permissible objects of his expropriation. But at the same time, he declared em- phatically that “expropriation” from |the homes of responsible leading comrades is permissible. whether Party documents are stolen |from Party offices by means of rif- ling the desks or whether they are |taken from brief cases of Party leaders by means of breaking into their homes, in each case the theft lean only be committed by an enemy lof the Party, by an enemy of the | working class, Lovestone’s continued themt of Party records is part of his activity jto split the Party.
