The following is the full text of the resolution adopted at the Central Committee Meeting held October 14-15, 1933: . . . The Extraordinary Party Conference on July 1-10th, in its Open Li Letter to the Party, gave to the Party the task to prepare for the increased upsurge of mass struggles. It gave an analysis of the N.R.A., and its direction of development, which have been proved entirely correct, as a new attack against the toiling masses, especially the workers, as a new attempt to head off the rising struggles of the workers by legal machinery and intense propaganda for class collaboration, the development of fascism, and as a new gigantic mobilization for imperialist war. The Conference elaborated the tactical weapons for the struggle against the N.R.A. the means of winning and organizing the workers, especially in the basic industries, which have proved correct by successful application in every case where a serious effort has been made, The Open Letter and the conclusions already drawn from it at the Extraordinary Conference have been confirmed by the deepening of the crisis, the revolutionary upsurge among all exploited masses with the industrial working class at its head, the hastening of the tempo of fascization with the aid of the social fascists, the snarpening of the war danger, the intervention against the Cuban revolution, and the increased menace of intervention against the Soviet Union, and by the experience of the daily work of our Party in organizing and leading the struggles of the workers and exploited masses. weaknesses were seen in our participation in the mining struggles which are only now being partially overcome. Work of Penetrating into the A. F. of L. | The work of penetrating into the A. F. of L., especially ai r4 newly recruited masses, has been taken up but slowly. There is still some resistance in our ranks, and in many important districts it is still not yet faced as a practical task; serious attention to building the Y.C.L. has not yet been given in most districts and trade unions, the Party recruiting has been carried out in a narrow technical way, without explanation to the masses of our political program and the need for the Party in the class struggle, and proceeds even slower than before the present upsurge among the workers; there has been serious lack of recruiting Negroes in the trade unions with a few good exceptions (St. Louis nut-pickers, Chicago garment workers), there has been no improvement in the struggle for unemployment insurance, and the whole movement of the unemployed has been allowed to lag, a weakness intensified by a most serious mis- interpretation of the Open Letter, which itself clearly declares the oppo- site, to the effect that shop work and struggles render this less imporant. The development of new leading forces from among the struggling masses, and within the Party, has been seriously neglected in almost all fields, despite certain improvements here and there. Right Danger is Main Obstacle | “Breakdown of New Deal as Capitalist Solution of Crisis | Characteristic of the moment, in the inner life of the U.S.A. are * the many signs of breakdown of the N.R.A. operations, the bank- ruptcy of the New Deal as a cgpitalist solution of the crisis. After an upswing of the business index, brought about by inflation (depreciation of the dollar), already more than half of the increase of production has been lost, the index for ten weeks has heen steadily down- ward, consumption declines, unsold stocks have greatiy increased over last year, a renewed financial crisis again approaches. The industrial codes have not brought even temporary relief to the masses, but only increased the profits of monopoly capital and speculators through direct and indirect wage-cuts, especially through speed-up in the factories; their net result has been to lower the purchasing power of the masses, instead of the boasted raising of that purchasing power. The Agricultural Adjustment Act has left the basic masses of the farmers in worse conditions than it found them, increasing prices of the things they must buy over twice as much as the increase in prices of the things they sell. Unemployment relief has been thoroughly broken down, even the former miserable charity standard being withdrawn from miflions of starving workers. ‘The Roosevelt administration carries on an unprecedented program of war preparations. The fifth winter of the crisis is plunging the masses of the United States into unprecedented misery and starvation, on a scale hitherto unknown. | Failure of N.R A. to Prevent Workers Struggles l 3 The attempt of the capitalists to prevent the mass struggles of the + workers, with the help of the A. F. of L. burocracy and the Socialist Party, has failed. The outstanding feature of the past months has been the increasing tempo of radicalization of the workers, shown in unpre- cedentedly militant struggles in which the workers are displaying a tremendous mass initiative. Millions of workers who were duped by the N.R.A. ballyhoo, who greeted Roosevelt as a savior, are already being roused in open mass struggles against the industrial codes, against the Administration, against the Labor Board, and against the reformist leadership of the A. FP. of L. The coal strike, the many strikes in the steel industry already penetrating the biggest plants, the national silk strike, the automobile strikes, and thousands of smaller strike movements that sweep the nation, all these bear witness to the failure of the N.R.A. to prevent the workers’ struggles. The radicalization of the workers proceeds at an accelerating pace, drawing into struggle new hundreds of thousands weekly; the experiences of the struggles in turn intensify the radicalization, hasten the break-up of the remaining illusions of “returning prosperity,” of a capitalist solu- tion of the crisis, under the New Deal, is preparing the most favorable conditions for the development of broader mass struggles on a higher political level, provided the Party and the fighting trade unions will more quickly and decisively provide the necessary leadership and organ- ization of the struggles. Experience has proved the correctness of the Open Letter when it said: “The radicalized workers, who had their bitter experience with the Republicans, are now well on the way to meeting with the same experi- ence from the second traditional party of finance capital, namely, the Democrats, and the movements among the workers against robber measures, are bound TO INCREASE. The poor farmers and the ruined middle farmers who only yesterday voted for the bourgeois parties are, in fact, already taking the'path of struggle against the policy carried on by these parties, and are constantly intensifying their efforts to attain an ‘independent’ policy. Thus, as a result of the development of the crisis, which is characterized not only by a rapid extension of the labor movement, but also by a widespread movement among the petiy bour- geoisie, we find a far-reaching mass movement of workers, farmers and other middle elements which is directed against the old bourgeois parties, and against the government, and which is growing continually stronger.” Use of More Fascist Methods Against Struggles | In this situation, the bourgeoisie, fearing the consequences of the fe breakdown of its “experiments” is preparing additional measures to meet the emergency. Although yet quarreling among themselves as to the next steps, powerful forces are at work to meet the winter problems by a new and More decisive inflation, devaluation of the dollar, more drastic liquida- tions of small undertakings in favor of further trustification. They are unanimously in favor of an intensified drive for new wage cuts, speed-up, cutting of unemployment relief, and the use of more fascist methods against the struggles and organizations of the workers, the use of force and violence, legal and extra-legal, to suppress the rising struggles of the workers (Ambridge, Utah, New Mexico, California, Tampa), and the increased lynch terror against the Negroes, In these policies the capitalist class has the full support and collabor- ation of the American Federation of Labor and Socialist Party leaders, which more rapidly than ever are amalgamating with the capitalist state apparatus (A. F. of L. Convention, fully supported by the Socialist Party). The leaders of the Muste group (Muste, Truax), after making solemn public pledges of united struggle against N.R.A. and for unification of the unemployed movement, are objectively helping fhe government and A. F. of L. in fighting the militant unions and perpetuating the divisions among the unmeployed; their renewed agitation for a Labor Party’ is but an instrument designed to hold back the radicalized masses from the path of revolutionary struggle under the leadership of the C.P.US.A. Beginnings in Carrying Out of Open Letter 5 Since the Extraordinary Party Conference, the Communist Party, * U.S.A, has made certain beginnings in carrying into effect the Open Letter. This has been shown in: (a) increased and more effective par- ticipation in strikes, especially in basic industries, and the beginnings of building mass trade unions (steel, textiles, packing houses, shoe, needle, furniture); (b) some improvements in methods of concentration; (¢) improved application of the united front policy, shown in strikes (espe- cially in the silk strike), in the Cleveland Conference for struggle against N.R.A., and the successful U. 8. Congress Against War; (d) Serious begin- nings of transformation of the DAILY WORKER into a mass paper, by improvement in contents and circulation, Serious Slowness and Weaknesses in Carrying Out Open Letter 6 The character of these advances in the Party’s work, is however, ‘* marked by the most serious slowness, weaknesses and inadequacies, The whole Party has not yet fully understood the application of the Open Letter and the leading cadres have not yet fully activized the Party membership for these tasks. The advance has been of a very uneven character: some important districts have hardly participated in this advance (Cleveland); others which had made important beginnings before the Extraordinary Confer- ence have stagnated and even fallen behind since (Detroit); serious F Weakness and inadequacy in carrying out the Open Letter have been * shown especially in; (a) underestimation of the radicalization of the masses, of their readiness to struggle; (b) consequently, doubts and hesi- tations about the Party line as expressed in the Open Letter, and failure to apply this line boldly and unhesitatingly; (c) the tendency to retreat before, or capitulate to, the illusions about the N.R.A., to fail to develop the struggle against it as the precondition for all revolutionary advance. These are all expressions of the danger of right opportunism within our ranks. This is the main danger against which all forces of the Party must be concentrated in an intolerant struggle, until the poison is eliminated from the Party’s work. Typical examples of this right danger are: fear to bring forward the revolutionary unions (Murray-Ohio plant, Cleveland, Allentown), and the attempt to find all sorts of substitutes indistinguishable from the reform- ist unions; weakness in initiating struggles, and consequent inadequate counteracting of the treacherous maneuvers of the reformists; retreat | before the “red scare,” fear to bring the DAILY WORKER into the mass struggles and trade unions, hiding the face of the Party, hesitation to bring forward decisively the Party principles and program, the revolution- ary way out of the crisis among the broad masses (in strikes, elections and daily propaganda of the Party), and consequent failure to recruit members, build fractions, and consolidate the Party in thé midst of struggles. This is further shown in weaknesses in applying the united front policy; the tendency to accept top negotiations and’ committees as substitutes for activities among the masses which build the united front from below in struggle; inadequately concrete political exposure of the social fascist misleaders and consequent weak mobilization of the masses in struggle against their policies of betrayal. ‘The right danger is seen on the Negro question in tendencies of evasion or capitulation to white chauvinism (San Francisco, in an intolerable ignoring of the Negroes in the election program and slate of candidates. Unless we fight against and overcome this right danger, we cannot raise the class consciousness of the workers, The right danger is the main obstacle to the broadening and deepen- ing of the united front of struggle, to the revolutionization of the masses, and to the ideological, political and organizational consolidation of the revolutionary trade union movement and the Communist Party. : . . . 8 The right danger goes hand in hand with capitulation tendencies ‘* masked with left phrases. This is expressed in empty slogan- shouting, substitution of epithets for Political argument, doctrinaire and rigid approach to united front efforts among the masses, “Communist vanity,” and the attitude of “superiority” to the workers with consequent “commandeering” attitude and violation of working class democracy. This “left” danger is only the other side of right opportunism, the main danger, and must be fought against with equal intolerance. Organize Broadest United Front in Workers Struggles 9 The Open Letter remains in full force the basic statement of the * Party weaknesses and tasks in the present period. It is and must remain the daily guide to the Party in its activities and education, in all its tasks, ‘These tasks are, the mobilizing and organizing of the broadest united front in the workers’ struggles for their economic and political demands against the increasing attacks under the flag of the N.R.A.; activization of the struggles of the unemployed, especially now for winter relief, and the fight for unemployment insurance; ending the most dangerous neglect of serious work in the A. F.ofL.,and even also in the independent unions, and developing a broad mass opposition movement for which the present situation is especially favorable; rousing and organizing the masses against colonial oppression in Latin America, Philippines, and China, and against war and fascism, | Deepening of Crisis Hastens War Outbreak 10. With the continued deepening of the crisis, and rapidly intensify- * ing danger of war, with the sharpening of the workers’ struggles and their broadening to include new millions of workers, with the in- creased tempo of development of fascist suppression these struggles, hand in hand with the increased activity of social fascist misleaders (in- cluding the despicable renegades from Comniunism), it is necessary, more quickly and decisively, to overcome all obstacles to the carrying out of the Open Letter, to energetically and persistently carry out the control tasks, and periodically check up on their execution, to develop our Party as a consolidated mass Party, rooted in the most decisive factories and industries, At is necessary more boldly to draw into leading positions the new, fresh workers—actives that develop in the struggles, in order to replace those who have shown themselves unable in practice to carry out the Open Letter, [ Tasks of Every Party Unit ll Special emphasis must be laid upon the daily tasks of every Party * unit, fraction and committee to (a) recruit immediately into the Party the broad surrounding circle of supporters and especially the most active fighters in the struggles now going on; (b) a real drive to establish mass circulation of the DAILY WORKER as an indispen- sable weapon of all struggles of the working class; to consolidate the improvements already made and to strengthen the DAILY WORKER as an agitator and organizer, and as an instrument to carry out the Open Letter; (c) build the revolutionary trade unions and opposition in the reformist unions, develop them as the real leaders of the growing struggles, paying special attention to the masses newly recruited into the A. F. of L. prepare for the com’ng convention of the T.U.U.L., clarify the role of the Communists and the Party fractions in the trade unions; (d) give serious attention to carrying out the Party decisions on building a niass youth movement and Y.C.L.; (e) develop and ex- tend the mass movement of the unemployed, build the Unemployed Councils as the leading fighters for one united’ unemployed movement, and develop = broad mass campaign for unemployment insurance; (f) strengthen the work among the Negroes, especially for winning them into the trade unions, unemployed councils, share-croppers union, etc., and organize broad national liberation movement in the L.S.N.R.; (g) more serious extension of the Party among the farmers, leadership and support to their struggles, and practical ass'stance to the success+ ful carrying out of the Second National Conference of the Farmers Committee of Action; (h) to extend activities among working class women and draw them into struggles against N.R.A. in factories, among unemployed and against increased cost of living; (i) build the united front movement against war and fascism on the broadest basis, ] 2. ‘Three months of carrying out the Open Letter in active participa- tion in class struggles, have shown that in the Party and its grow- ing circle of sympathizers there exist those forces which can and will carry out these tasks. It is now necessary to have a full mobilization of these forces, to bring them all into activity and into posts of leadership, develop searching self-criticism of all weaknesses and mistakes, to thrust aside all hampering and obstructing elements, to overcome all weaknesses and obstacles, develop self-initiative from below, with activization of every Party member and unit and to march forward to the winning of the decisive strata of the American workers who will lead the entire working class and exploited masses into the coming decisive class battles i i cord-Breaking ) | | | Gondola of the Soviet stratosphere balloon crew, is in the foreground at Soviet 3 | | | | balloon “U.S.S.R.,” which broke the | the right, | | (Continued from PaSe 1.) ers’ Council and ask their qpinion; | and I have never once failed to carry out their wishes.” Nygard told of the fight that had to be carried on against the dema- gogues of the Farmer-Labor Party. | During the strike against forced la- | bor work on the county jobs which | Nygard himself led, these politicians | | came down to Crosby from the cap-| ital in St. Paul and tried to break the strike “by handing out cigars,) plugs to chew and by swearing like loggers.” “Our experiences in Crosby have proven the correctness of the Com- munist Party policies and tactics,” Nygard said. “When the city funds | had withered away, we demanded— | and by pressure on the city coun- | cil—forced the politicians to come through with “an immediate loan, which was used for feeding the un- employed of the city.” “Sit Down,” He Tells Chief When Nygard mobilized the work- ers of Crosby, 60 per cent of whom} are unemployed, for a demonstration | | before the City Council, the city po-| liticians called in the chief of police and his three patrolmen. | “When the chief of police came,” reported Nygard, “I told him to sit | down.

Browder Speaks Earl Browder declared that “we are conducting «a real Bolshevik struggle for the workingclass in New York City.” “We don’t know how many New York workers we are going to organ- ize and lead them to sunport Bob Minor, Ben Gold ‘and Williana Bur- roughs in the elections. But there is one think we are sure of; that whatever the number of votes we cast in this election on Nov. 7, it will differ from ‘all other parties in one respect, and that is, the Com- munist Patry is going to stand out among all other parties with the increase in the Communist Party vote, because we are the only party Hail Communist Mayor at Election Banquet | Worker? “Comrade Mayor, what are | ¢ | you going to do?” Nygard declared | © When officials-of the State Board | “Sure, you can’t bribe that many!” | if we don’t have that outstanding instrument of our Bolshevik Party, our daily newspaper, the Daily) “Tf you want to elect Bob Minor | as Mayor of New York, you must get behind the Daily Worker much stronger than you are right now, by money, and especially circulation. “Moreover, you cannot make such an election campaign without ‘that | little thing’ called the Communist Party.
