 This is shown by an official state ment of the Central Executive Com
 mittee of the Workers Party of America as follows:
 Printed in The Daily Worker"- the official organ of the Workers Par ty-March 31, 1924)
 The policy which we adopt in Mir nesota will be precedent for the whole party in relation to the Nation al Farmer-Labor Party when that or ganization is finally crysta1lized. It is therefore important that we adopt the correct Communist policy Tn Minneso- ia as a guide to our whole party for it's work inside of the Farmer-Labor Party throughout the country. *
 "The Workers Party brides itself in being a Communist Party; that means, that 1t considers it's work to build up and lead the forces which will bring about a pro1etarian revolution Tn the United States and establish Soviet form of government and the Dictator ship of the Proletariat.
 Central Executive Committee, C. F.. Ruthenberg, Sec" Progressives inclined to attend the June 17th convention should also con- sider the statement, published in The Daily Workers of May 16, 1924, by the Central Executive Committee of the Workers Party of America over the signatures of William z Foster, chair man, and C. E. Ruthenberg, executive secretary: Tn order to settle the question of whether the FarmerLabor United Front was a policy that a communist party such as the Workers Party should put into effect and in support of which 1t should throw all it's strength, the Central Executive Com lnittee of the Workers Party submitted this question to the Communist Inter national (Moscow), with which 1t Is affiliated as fraternal organization
 The view of the Communist Inter national on this question is expressed in the following cablegram:
 ".Conmunist International considers June 17 convention momentous impor- tance for Workers Party. Urges C. E. C. not to slacken activities preparation June Y. Utilize every available force to make St. Paul convention great rep resentative gathering labor and left wing.
 Executive Committee, Communist In
 ternationa1."
 The Communist organization in America, thus acting under orders from the Communist International at Moscow, will not only participate in the St. Paul convention on June Y, but has already secured a strategic position in the direction of that con- vention. (. A Hathaway, the secre- tary-treasurer of the committee on arrangements for the St. Paul conven- ton, IS an avoWed Communist and was a delegate to its third national con vention, held Ill Chicago, December 30, 1923. All credentials for the St. Paul convention are made returnable to Hathaway as secretary, and as treas urer he controls its funds. Joseph Man1ey, son-in-1aw of William z. Eos ter, and an avowed Communist, is also a member of the committee on ar l engagements.
 Although the national Communist l organizations, as such may be granted only five delegates in the St. Paul con- vent1on, the basis of representation adopted is lending itself to their pur- pose to control. Reliable information | shows that very a1rge number of 1 Communist delegates wi1t be present at St. Paul with duly authorized ere i dentials
 Cooperation Would Be Mere Decep- ton.
 ', Reposing complete confidence in the 1 soundness of the deliberate judgment of the American people, I have no ap- l prehension that the Communist Party can ever command any considerable
 support in this country. do not question their right, under the Con- stitution, to submit their issues to the people, but I most emphatica11y pro- test against their being admitted into I the councils of any body of progress sive voters. The Communists stand for the substitution of the Soviet form of government for the one we now have and propose to accomplish this change through revolution, with a class dictatorship as their ultimate aim instead of democracy.
