abide by the decision of the Bureau
of the Checho Slovak Section Of the
w. p:
Albert Smid, Sec'y.,
Board of Directors "Spraveldnost,"
1925 So. Loomis ST., Chicago, Ill.
Dear Comrade: The Central Elk
ecutive Committee of the Workers
party has considered the action of the
Board of Directors of "Spraveldnost"
in refusing to carry out the decision
Of the Bureau of the Czecho-Slova
Section of the Workers Party and in
Withdrawing the paper from the con-
troll and direction of the Bureau of the
party and instructs me to make the
following statement to the members
of the Board of Directors:
1. The members of the Board of
Directors are instructed to appear at
the party headquarters, lib w. Wash
ington Blvd, on Thursday, July 10, to
meet with committee Of the Central
Executive Committee with a view of
adjusting the situation which now
exists in the Czecho-Slovak Section.
Expulsion the Penalty.
2. Should the members of the
Board Of Directors refuse to attend
this meeting, or refuse to come to an
agreement with the committee of the
Central Executive Committee, / am
instructed to advise the Chicago Par
ty organization to at once expel such
members of the Board of Directors as
refuse to abide by the party discipline
from the party.
3. The Chicago organization will al
so be instructed to take up the whole
situation with all the Czecho-Slovak
branches Of the city of Chicago, pres
enting to each branch the question of
abiding by the discipline of the C. e.
G. and the Bureau of the Czecho-
Slovak Section. Such members of the
party or branches which refuse to
abide by the constitution of the Work
ers Party and the decisions of the
Central Executive Committee will be
at once expelled from the Party.
Carried Out Decision.
The Bureau of the Czecho- Slovak
Federation, in assuming control and
direction of all the activities, papers,
and printing plant of the Czecho-
Slovak Section carried out decision
of the Convention of the Czecho-
Slovak Section. Those comrades who
now refuse to abide by the decision of
the Bureau of the Czecho-Slovak Sec
ton are not only violating the consti-
tuition of the Workers Party which
they are pledged to uphold, but they
are violating the express will of the
majority of the members of the
Czecho-Slovak Section.
The Central Executive Committee
Of the party has for some time real
lied that there were among the mem
bers Of the Czecho-Slovak Section
those who did not yet understand the
meaning of Communist discipline and
who were not Communists in their
understanding of the policies of the
party. 1t was the hope, however, of
the Central Executive Committee that
these members would learn what it
means to be a Communist thru their
experiences in our party and that the
great majority could be won for the
Communist movement in this coun-
try.
The view OF the Central Executive
Committee on this question has been
correct. The great majority of the
members of the Czecho-Slovak Sec
ton are Loyalty supporting the Bureau
of that Section and the Central Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Party.
Yellow Socialism Must Go.
The time has, however, come when
the remnants Of yellow socialism
which are manifesting themselves in
the Czecho-Slovak Section must be
eliminated from our party. Those
members of the Board of Directors
who are Communists will accept the
discipline of the Bureau and of the
party Those who belong to the rem
nants Of yellow socialism and who
have no place in our organization will
be excluded from the party.
The decision Of the Board OF Di-
rectors on the instructions given
above will determine whether they
are to follow the path of yellow So
cialism or whether they are true Com.
munists, supporters Of the Commun-
list Party in this country, and the Com.
munist International.
Fraternally yours,
