whole of the party on the right track.
Time and again he has given state
ments or declarations to the effect
that he accepted the decisions of the
international and would do all within
his power to put them into effect. This
he did as late as at the Fifth World
Congress which was held this sum-
mer, altho Immediately upon his re-
turn to Sweden he launched into a
most vitriolic and dastardly attack up
on the G. l. and in particular upon it's
real sdherents in Sweden. All at
tempts at unity have failed, altho the
G.. /. was exceedingly lenient in the
case-too lenient in the eyes of the
writer.
''The executive committee of the
Communist International is of the
opinion that all possibilities of work
ing together with Hoglund are at an
end. BY persistent continuation Of
the false road which he is moving on
he most certainly will put himself
outside Of the Communist Interna-
tionaI," declares an official statement
from the praesidium of the G. l., dated
August IL, addressed to the members
of the C. p S., in which it reviews the
various actions Of Hoglund that were
contrary to the principles and tao
tics of the c. l.
Hoglund Expelled.
nr, tbov, of+1w kLo n
|. had issued the above statement, we
find Hoglund officially excluded from
the c. l. and the c. P. s. A state
ment issued by the representative Of
the e. c. in Sweden, dated August %,
declares: s"Hoglund and those mem
bers of the G. e. G. who identified
themselves with him are outside of
the G. l. and the G. P. S., which even
as formerly continues to remain a
section of the G. l." The basic rea-
sons for this action are that the party
majority in the c. E. C. (Hoglund had
four members, the minority three)
had excluded the minority members
from the party, altho the minority &C.
tually represented the big majority
Of the party membership; that the
Hoglund majority on the c. e. c. re-
fused to allow a referendum to take
place on the question Of accepting the
decisions of the. G. l. altho a far great
er number of members had petitioned
for such a referendum than was need
ed according to the statutes; that
Hoglund gave out statements to the
bourgeois and socialist papers which
we're direct lies relative to his own
place on the party paper (the board
of directors of the central organ of
the party had decided to establish
an editorial board of three-Kilbom,
Hoglund and the representative Of the
G. |. to be responsible for the paper
instead Of Hoglund alone.); that he
refused to continue working on this
basis but instead accepted a position
on syndicalist paper, editing one
page in the the name of his party
group. The Hoglund group has been
attempting to force split within the
party in such a fashion that those
who were the supporters Of the G. l.
would leave the G. P. s. but in this
it has not been successful. Not only
that, but the Hoglund outfit has lost
the central organ of the party, "Pollti-
KEN" as well as the following daily,
semi-weekly and weekly papers:
Norrskenfiamman Vestsvenska Kurir-
en-, and kaImar Lans Kuriren. The
Communist Women's magazine Roda
Roster and the. Y. G. L. paper Storm
Ioekan are also supporting the Com
intern. Hoglund has ON his side two
weekly papers. His group have also
issued notices that they intend begin
ming the publication of a new central
organ for their group.
These are the bare facts in the case
as seen in the most recent develop
ments-but behind these facts lie a
mass Of interesting material which
throws light upon the struggle and the
split. What l want to do is to deal
