Prepara- tory work for the Charlotte confer- ence is being intensified. “We have to learn lots of things about organizing ourselves to fight the stretch-out, and make them pay us decent wages,” J. B. Byers, a convention delegate and father of one of the Gastonia defendants, says, “and that convention—well, it gave us more than even we can ruses right now.” While William Murdoch, Byers, and a group of other textile dele- gates are touring the district en route to South Carolina, Hugo Oeh- ler and the Gaston district delegates are continuing the work in that ter-| ritory. Oehler and Harris told about the organizational work and_ progr: registered at the Cleveland Conven- tion, toa meeting of 125 textile workers, in North Belmont. “The organized workers through the Cleveland Convention and the) unorganized workers in the basic in-| “dustries under the influence of the! industrial unions and shop commit- tees represented, will increase their, activity for the freedom of the 16 Gastonia defendants,” Oehler said. “This convention realizes that only (Continued on Page Three) CHICAGO TRIAL OPENS MONDAY Julge Lyle, of Chicago, arch- enemy of the working class, will try the twenty-seven workers Monday who took part in a demonstration in Grant Park, in June, protesting the Gastonia brutalities.

Those given a suspended mentee were S. Resnick, Jack Kadansky| and Louis Colchasno. Edith Mann, the fourth worker, after being ¢on- victed of disorderly conduct, was fingerprinted and locked up until to- morrow. According to Magistrate 1.—Political Basis of the Mistakes of the Morning Freiheit. The statement of the Political Committee and the theses of the National Agitpfop Department very correctly condemned the’ position of the Freiheit in the first days of the Palestine revolt as social demo- cratic, belittling and underestimating the political ‘significance of the revolt of the expropriated Arabian masses. ‘The above two documents not only corrected the grave mistakes of the Freiheit, but also gave a Leninist interpretation of the Palestine revolt and pointed out the tasks of the Party. However, the mistakes of the Freiheit have a basis and | the Party must explain that in order to prevent such mistakes-in the future and in order to mobilize the Party membership for the support of the line of the Communist International and against the nationalist bourgeois tendencies and the right wing. The mistakes of the Freiheit definitely and correctly bear out the analysis of the Sixth World Congress and the Tenth Plenum of the Communist International, that in the present third period of post-war | capitalistgdevelopment the main danger is the right danger. It shows that our American Party is not yet prepared to meet the problems that will arise in the present period of workd capitalism. The mistakes of the Freiheit shows that the comrades of the editorial staff did not see clearly the contradictions of present day capitalism and their effect upon the toiling masses, If the Freiheit had better understood the basic contradictions of capitalism in the third period, seen the contra- dictions between the ‘growth of the forces of productions and the shrink- age of markets, which leads to imperialist rivalry and redivision- of the world by means of war, that these contradictions have their inevitable effect upon the exploited workers in the capitalist countries leading to their radicalization and determination to struggle not only for better economie conditions, but against capitalism generally, and that these contradictions have also their effect on the oppressed colonial peoples, which leads to a growing struggle on the part of the colonial masses | against imperialism. If the Freiheit had taken into consideration these factors, then the Palestine revolt, taking place in the present period could not have been interpreted as a pogrom. The mistakes of the Freiheit also show that not only was the present period of capitalism and the nature of the struggles arising from it not understood, but it also shows the degree of bourgeois-nationalist and social democratic influence exerted not only on the non-partisan working masses, but | even on our own-Party ranks. It shows that the correct policy of the Central Committee in its struggle for the line of the Communist In- ternational and against all deviations from this line was not effectively carried out by the Freiheit. It shows that the struggle of’ the Party against the Right wing of Lovestone and against all other manifesta- tions of the Right danger must be carried out with more: vigor, that the Party must cleanse its ranks of all opportunist’ elements ‘not’ fol- lowing and resisting the line of the CI. This is the’ basis: for’ the mistakes made by the Freiheit and not, as the renegade Lovestone in his documents charges, because the CEC is revising Leninism: “A careful examination will show that responsibility for the whole situation can be traced to the revisionist and Party wrecking political and organizational line of the ‘New Leadership’ in carrying through | the Address of the CI.” This statement is typical of a renegade. The mistakes lie precisely in the fact that the Freiheit did not carry out the line of the Address and the Plenum decisions. If the Freiheit had done that, if the Frei- heit had used the analysis of the CI on present day capitalism and the struggles of the colonial people and had carried on more ener- getically the struggle against the opportunist and the right wingers, it | would have never made the mistakes it did. The CEC speedily reacted to-the mistakes. of it Freiheit. Yet prior to the publication of the statement.of the al Sonsiitiee | the CEC sent’ a representative to: 38 se oe Jewish section of the Communist Party who openly condemn Stk stand of. the Freiheit at this mass meeting. This shows that our Party | is taking seriously the decisions of the CI, that the Party will mer- cilessly expose every mistake and every deviation from Leninism and this way prepare our Party for the coming struggles. Our Party reached a stage today where factional protection will no longer be en- joyed by opportunists who because of factional consideration were not exposed, but on the contrary protected and their wrong opportunist line perpetuated. Renegade Lovestone, like all other enemies of the Communist movement, is trying to utilize the mistakes of the Party and our open. Bolshevik self-criticism for the purpose of discrediting the Party and undermine its prestige and fighting ability. In his counter-revolutionary documents, Lovestone poses as the champion in the struggles against the mistakes of the Freiheit, when as a matter of fact every Party member knows that when the Freiheit made its mistakes, the Political Committee of the CEC immediately reacted and exposed these mistakes, The Party membership will understand the | purpose of Lovestone “criticism” and will react to it accordingly. The Party as the leader of the.working class has nothing to hide from its class. It will continue to fight its mistakes in a Bolshevik and revo- lutionary constructive manner and thereby prove to the working class that’ the Party is serious to its historic mission and the attempts of Lovestone to utilize the mistakes of the Party for factional purposes Continued on Page Three) ‘Launch Two Day Drive to Help Gastonia Defense: \Fight Undermining Propaganda of Boss Press by Two Mass Collections Sept... 21-22.
