Article II.
BY JAY LovESToNE.
IN our first article on the Foster
Lore alliance we tabulated the
number of votes cast for and meas
ures proposed in behalf of Lore by
the Fosters Cannon group. In this ar
ticle we tabulated the consistent
voting of Lore for measures proposed
in the central executive committee
by the FosterSCannon group and
against proposals and policies Of the
Ruthenberg group.
The Foster-Cannon group is now
throwing about such epithets as $50
cial-democrat" and fright wing oppor-
tunists." The Comintern has brand.
ed Lore and his followers as social
democrat group. 1t it interesting to
note that Foster and Cannon are not
calling soeialdemocratic and oppor-
tunists that group in the party which
has been labeled as such by the Com
munist International. On the con-
trary the voting records Of the central
executive committee show that those
who are now SO lavish in evading a
discussion Of the fundamental issues
thru hiding behind smoke screen of
this sort, have been and still are.
despite empty pFe-convention talk, in
an organic alliance with the social
democratic and opportunist section Of
our party.
