THE PROBLEM OF THE INDEPENDENTS
Comrade Dittmann Germany is given the
floor and reads written statement Oh Ooiil-
rade Crispien Germany, who was taken ILL.,
wherein the latter protests against certain
sneakers who put him in the category Oh 90
cialist-Pacifists. He states that IN the course
of 26 wears of revolutionary activity ne mas
always professed and preached the idea Oh
class struggle, and only through such Strug-
ole will the destruction of capitastlc explol-
tation be accomplished.
Comrade Wynkoop proposes to CONSIDER
the question whether or not the Congress mas
instructed the Executive Committee to con-
tinue negotiations with the Independents.
Comrade Radek objects, as he considers
the question has already been decided IN the
positive, by the vote on the resolution on tlie
report covering this point
The motion Of Comrade Wynkoop is re-
jected.
The floor is given to Comrade Bukharln
TO report on the question of parliamentarlsm'
REPORT OF PARLIAMENTARlSM.
Comrade Bukharin begins his report by
stating that he will give the general content
Of the resolutions adopted by the Committee
on the question of parliamentarism. On the
concrete amendments to the theses proposed
bv the executive committee of the Ill Inter-
national, further report will be made by
! rseonads Wolfsteia (Getmsny), and Com
rade Bordiga (Italy) will make supplement
tary report.
Comrade Bukharin first draws a parable
between the role of parliamentarism before
the World War and the evolution Of this roll
during the war: "The period of peace in th'
development of imperialism is characterize
first of all by community OF interests o
the imperalistic bourgeoisie and the prole
tariat in the metropolis Tin any case OF
certain portion of the more skilled element
of this proletariat). 1t is this community Q
interests that Kautsky denies so stubborn
in his writings This community OF interest
is reflected in the TACT that the trade-unior
of the yellow Social Democracy and other o.
ganizations of the proletariat have, so
speak, become bourgeois apparatus OF Sta
mower. Parliamentary representation also HI
been one of the forms under which an o
ganization of the proletariat became, in fac
an apparatus of capitalist oppression.
During the war, however, the elefnen
of the proletariat that had penetrated in
the bourgeoisie came nnDre and more to 10
their influence on those organizations OF t
proletariat which were becoming the weapo
of class struggle, and the means Of destroyi
the apparatus Of class oppression, the mea
Of overthrowing the bourgeois state IN
struggle for new order. That is why p
liamentarism at the present moment has
tanned for us it's Significance. For US it d'
not represent what it does for the reforms
namely, method Of solving certain concr
demands; for us it is merely the arena
cur conflicts with the bourgeoisie, and
means of agitation and propaganda amc
toiers, means for organizing the wide p
ular masses around our flag.
Membership Of Parliamentary Fractions

"lf ore analyLcs from this poi.t Of v
the membership Of the most important 7
ramentary fractions Of the proletariat,
finds the membership Of such absolutely
satisfactory.
The Socialist Independent Party in {

are Communists, 20 absolutely definite
