In| they have committed mistakes some | addition to this M. Joshi, Kirk, | of which we should mention here. | First of all, the Left Wing fails to draw a sufficently sharp ideologi- cal line between itself and the na- tionalist reformists of the J. Nehru type, thus failing to prove to the |masses: (a) that the nationalist, re- formists are sacrificing the in- terests of the workers for the in- | of the nationalists bour- ie; (b) that they are co-opera- | ting with the Right Wingers (M. | Joshi & Co.) in order to undermine {and disrupt the Left Wing trade unions; (c) that the nationalist re- formists should be discarded as la- |} bor leaders. . | Secondly, owing to this ideological confusion our comrades do not al- | | ways initiate and lead the mass struggles but rather find themselves at the tail end of developments. Thus the great Indian Railway Strike was postponed time and again though the workers pressed for the strike call. A great Indian Railway Strike at that time, combined with the simultaneously going on strikes of the South Indian Railway and the Bombay Textile Workers, would have been a strike of far-reaching effect and consequences, | united front tactics by the left wing lin India was utterly wrong. linstance, during the Bombay textile \strike last year the left wing lead- ‘ers, even though the striking work- \ers were opposing it, agreed to form ja strike committee with the right wing bureaucrats on a fifty-fifty ba- jsis, and practically turned over the strjke leadership to the labor trai- tors with the result that the strike was lost. At the same time the left lwing leaders signed an agreement jointly with the right wing buteau- crats that the disputed questions ishall go to arbitration as prsposed |by the capitalists. Evidently, our comrades failed to grasp the signifi- cance that the united front must not be effected from the top but from below, namely, that rea: assistance to,the striking textile workers ean jonly be rendered by the rank and |file of the trade unions, or the work- ing masses in general. Our com- rades failed to graso sufficiently \cleax that no reformist leaders or bureaucrats should be tolerated in vtrche committees nor agreements should be signed jotatly with them The failure to emphasize that the united front must be effected from below and not from the top is also contained in the Trale Union Reso: lution adopted by the All-India | Workers’ and Peasants’ Party Con- |ference in December, 1923, Fourthly, a no less serious short coming is that the left wing dees not \always consolidate its ideologicai in- fluence organizationally. hus, tle left wing had strong inituence, the Tata steel strike, the Liitiah strike, ete, but failed to eatrench litself organizationally with the re- sult that the pett, pourgeois poli- jcielans intell "3 ar2 in core itr © organi7 at Lastly, a still more serious short- ‘coming is that the left wing trade unions are insufficiently co-ordinated ‘and connected up under centralized leadership, against imperialism and reformism is impossible. Therefore, in view of the cirrent \situation, the most importan? tasks of the left wing trade unions in In- dia are as follows: The strikers must be better pre- pared for, co-ordinated, the wide masses attracted and direct leader- iship undertaken by the left wing. i | Under no circumstance vavillatiny | leaders and reformist or right wing | bureaucrats should be elected or tol- lerated in strike commitcees. The |strike deman:ls shoul’ be discussed ;and populavized among the masses. |For the success of the strikes it is absolutely necessary that the uncr- ganized masses, the workers in in- \dustries not yet or slightly affected \by the strike wave, such as trans- port, mining, plantation workers, etc., should be more and more drawn into the strikes. The strikes must |also deepened in content. (To Be Continued) STORM IMPERILS SEAMEN. ST.
