all the Communist Parties on the
American continent on all questions
which concern them all alike. This
motion was accepted in the form Of
an instruction to Comrade Lovestone,
who was to attend the congress of the
Communist Party of Mexico as frat
ernal delegate.
On May 3, after the return Of Com
rade Lovestone from Mexico, he sub
mitted an eight-page closely written
report. This report is part of the
minutes of the central executive
committee. Your insinuations Of the
squander Of party money, of trips to
Mexico, Comrade Browder, are belied
by the facts. This report of Comrade
Lovestone was not only accepted by
the central executive committee, but
on decision of the central executive
committee, 1t was forwarded to the
Communist International.
Some Of the recommendations Of
the report Of Comrade Lovestone were
identical with subsequent decisions
adopted by the Communist Interna-
tional on the question of co-ordinat-
ing the activities of the Communist
Parties of both American continents.
The report of Lovestone dealt with
the political and economic situations,
with the Communist Party of Mexico,
with the convention of that party,
with the question of Imperialism, and
with the Philippines. 1t also contain
ed a number of recommendations in
the form of instructions to the Trade
Union Educational League. For in
stance:
That the Trade Union Educational
League be instructed to get in touch
with the Mexican central executive
committee to secure cooperation
with the left wing trade union blocks
under complete or partial influence of
the two parties;
That the Trade Union Educational
League be instructed to work out
program for a fight against Gompers
and Compression In the Pan-American
federation Of labor, especially with
view toward preparing for the Decem-
Der conference Of this organization.
The report further emphasized the
necessity of establishing closer CO.
operation in anti-imperialist activities,
and proposed for this purpose the
formation of a Pan-American bureau
of all parties, to be formed in Mexico
City on the occasion Of the confer
ence of the Gompers outfit. 1t also
contained recommendations for the
cooperation of the Young Workers
Leagues of all the Pan-American
countries.
The instructions to the Trade I'm
ion Educational League were accept
ed at a meeting of the executive coun-
Gil, on May IA, the only objection Of
The majority being that the Trad,
Union Educational League need not be
rcfed because it would do these
things anyhow.
.aoW con you, Comrade Browder, in
The face of these facts, throw out the
insinuation of junketing trips at the
party's expense without ever giving
report? How can you reconcile these
facts with your fables contained in
your article of December 10?
l hope, Comrade Browder, you will
not consider it an insult if l remind
you that your fight is supposed to save
the party, and not the majority. Stick
ing a little closer to the facts might
hurt you, altho it would bring you
nearer to telling the truth.
Comrade Browder excels himself in
his defense of the majoritys policy
on unemployment. With skillfulness
that can hardly be matched he sue
ceeds in finding hypothetical ques-
ton for his ready-made answers, thus
escaping the necessity of giving a
straight answer to the real question.
We ask: Why was not action on I'M
employment made part of our indus
trial activities? Browder answers the
question:: Why was not unemploy-
ment action carried out in place
our Industrial action? Comrade Brow
der, you may just as well make up
your mind right here and now that
we do not let you get away with your
sleight of hand tricks.
While he dexterously insinuates that
the minority wanted the party to aban.
don all industrial work for unemploy-
ment action, Browder sets up new
theory. He points out that you can
not start any unemployment action
just because there is unemployment
No! There must first be preparations,
an theological campaign.
Altho the industrial crisis has by
no means reached climax, yet I'M
employment shifted from industry to
industry taking on mass character
now here and then there. For long
time unemployment was rampant in
the textile mills Of the New England
states II had a mass character there
When the minority pointed that out
In the central executive committee,
the majority said: Unemployment
