LESSONS OF THE MCDONALD MEETING

before the party, further developed
the new political situation and logic
ally and correctly, according to Com
munist principles, charted thelcourse
for our Workers Party. Both the cam
paign for organization and propaganda
for a farmer-labor party must be left
behind. Other forms of the united
front, based upon the daily struggles
strikes, unemployment, shop com
mittee agitation, general labor coun-
acils--must be found and employed.
For the labor party is not fetish;
Fit was not for us principle Of Or
sganization Of Of the class struggle; il
was merely form of the united front
which for the present, is dead. We
want no fake labor parties; no DEUS
DRY united fronts;,- nothing which
breaks down the morale and discipline
Of our own party; no united front
with ourselves; no substitutes for the
Workers Party. Instead, unity from
below; unity with the workers thru
participation in their everyday strug-
giles, with the Workers Party as the
center and leader of these struggles
The Chicago farmer-labor meeting
showed us quite early, in startling
and concrete form, two political facts
of supreme Importance: First, that
the LaFollette blast had swept what
ever sentiment there was aside from
the Workers Party for a farmer-labor
party into the hopeless middle class
marsh. Second, that the malarial
germs of that swamp were already
beginning to work inside our OWL
party, supplanting Communist prin
ciple with farmer-laborist opportun.
ism. The healthy instinct of our party
its sound Communist character at bot
tom, showed itself. We threw of this
diseased disguise, emerged erect, and
made a campaign that established ouI
Communist integrity and strength. We
can now be proud of the revolutionary
banner of the Workers Party. And
we can be glad that the farmer-laboi
meeting in Chicago on July 2, along
with many other experiences, taught
us some LESSONS.

WHO ARE THE FARMER-LABOR
COMMUNISTS?

over the question of our attitude to-
ward the farmer-labor party. This
first appeared in the central execu-
tive committee in Angst, 1928. The
Foster-Cannon group was opposed to
the organization of the federated
+farmer-1abor party. 1t was against
the Workers Party following up the
victory which it had won at the July
3, 1928, farmer-labor convention. 1t
was for an all-embracing, 4ll-inclusive
farmer-labor party and against the
organization of the left wing which
had come under the influence of our
party. This attitude, which was based
on the conception that the organi-
cation of an all-embracing farmer
labor party, was a goal in itself and
repudiated the viewpoint that the
farmer-labor campaign was a maneu-
yer for building, strengthening and
establishing the leadership of the
Workers Party. In contrast to this
the Pepper-Ruthenberg group declar-
ed in the August, 1928, thesis that
when the interest of the Workers
Party come in conflict with the goal
of organizing the all-embracing farm
er-labor party Of Foster-Cannon
dreams, that we must unhesitatingly
sacrifice the farmer-labor party. 1t is
not hard to decide which of these two
viewpoints expressed what is includ-
ed in the new epithet, "Farmer-Labor
Communism" 1t was certainly not
that of the present minority of the
central executive committee, which in
effect declared: If we can thru this
situation build the Workers esty
into a mass Communist party - +.
hundred thousand workers, we win
follow the policy which will bring
that result and say ito hell with your
all-embracing farmer-labor party"

Fact number two. which the central
executive committee minority submits
in answer to the epithet, Farmer
Labor Communism" has to do with

wide masses, swinging toward indie
pendent political action? They were
attending meetings which, to them,
were realizing their desires. They
were at the LaFollette meetings. It
is now as plain as daylight. Farmer
laborism and the mass sentiment,
such as it wasS for independent politi-
cal action had disappeared as snow
flakes insthe sun, had been absorbed
neven at that hour by the pettyrbour-
geois, middle class movement led by
8 LaFolIettes sa gssgsh asadgips
The thot is sickeninG that we might
have gone on, deludipg ourselves and
poisoning our movement, after the
masses of workers and poor farmers
had gone, some sections, to LaFollette
and others to that apostle of "inde-
pendent class political action" Cal
Coolidge.
Already the facts were pressing for
a change in policy by the Workers
Party; the Chicago meeting indicated
not life for the young farmer-labor
movement but only few stray sparks
and fiareups of a dying fire. 1t re-
Quired only the additional experience
of the Cleveland c. P. P. A. conference
on July 4. After that it was plain to
all who would see, that the sentiment
and movement for a farmer-labor
party had been almost entirely smoth-
cred or absorbed into the LaFollette
movement What remained of thai
movement was already organized in
the Workers Party or closely allied
with it,
United Front in Daily Struggles Led
by the Workers Party.
The Central Executive Committee
of the Workers Party, acting in ac.
cordance with the changed political
conditions, on July correctly de
clared that we must enter the cam
paign under the banner of the Work
ers Party in order to carry on truly
working-class Independent political
movement. Since the campaign was
over, the c. E. c. has, in the election

1T seems that we have come quickly
to that stage in the party
discussion in which epithets and
name-calling is to be. substituted for
arguments on the basis of principles
and facts. In two articles, one by
Comrade Foster and one by Comrade
Cannon, the MARKHAM group in our
party, which wishes to continue to
base the policies and tactics of our
party upon an application of Marxism
to the economic and political life Of
this country-in which we made our
beginning under the influence Of
Comrade Pepper II is branded as
"Farmer-Labor Communists"
Throwing stones, when one is liv-
ing in glass house, has always been
regarded as dangerous business, and
in this Instance it is the glass house
OF the Foster-C Cannon group which
their stone thrown at the minority of
the central executive committee is
bringing about their ears. If there is
any "Farmer-Labor Communism" in
our party it has its lodging in the
minds of the members of the Foster
Cannon group. 1t has not only re-
NAMED in the minds of this group,
but it has manifested itself again and
again in concrete proposals and in
refusal to adopt other proposals.
The minority of the central execu.
tive committee in this discussion does
not have to resort to epithets and
name-callings. There is so much ma
terial at hand to show the lack of
Communist clarity, their hesitations
and vacillations in relation to the
pursuit Of truly Bolshevik policy, that
name-callings and epithets would only
weaken the damning evidence in a
recitation of the facts.
Attitude Toward the Farmer-Labor
Campaign.
The first fact, which shows the
hypocrisy of the epithet Farmer
Labor Communism" is the division

81 On the basis Of this record we hurl
back into the teeth of the Foster
Cannon group the epithet, Farmer
Labor Communist" Let the Foster
Cannon group stand up before the
party and try to explain this con-
sistent refusal to follow Bolshevik
policy as shown by this record of
fact. Epithets directed against the
group in the party which has con-
sistently fought against their vacil-
lations and comprimises when faced
with a question of following a Boil
shevik line, will not cover up these
facts from the record.

of the West smiled his acknowledg
