2 INTERNAL PARTY PROBLEMS =

Consider the facts:
y At both of these meetings Com
rade Ruthenberg appeared in the
name Of the G. e. c. and delivered
an extensive report on the policies
and activities of the C. f. C. From
his report, as well as from the party
press, it should have been obvious to
everyone that the G. E. G. is perfectly
alive and alert to every situation in
the party, and that opportunistic ten
dencies-wherever and whenever they
made their appearance-were prompt
ly dealt with by the G. e. c. in a
proper Communist way. In fact, it
was only from this report Of the re-
preventative of the C. e. c., and the
published letters of the C. e. C. to
Detroit and Michigan, which were de-
signed to point out and combat oppor-
tunist deYiations, that the comrades
could have learned Of their existence.
Then why did the comrades find it
necessary to introduce resolutions
calling upon" the c. E. G. to take
action which had already been taken
in each case, promptly and decisive
Iy?
p These meetings were called by
the G. E. c. for the express purpose
of clarifying some Of the issues of
our labor party policy before our
membership, and of mobilizing them
for the June 18th Convention.
81 The c. E. c. considered the case
of comrade Lore some five weeks
ago. After thoro deliberation, the G.
E. G. decided that the articles of COM
rade Lore in question give rise to
misconceptions regarding the history
OF the Comintern. 1t decided, there
fore, to call upon Comrade Lore to
submit for the approval of the c. e.
c. draft of statement correcting
the impression that might have been
created by his article, and that this
statement, upon approval by the C. E.
O., should be published as an edito-
rial in the Volkszeitung. Comrade
Lore agreed to this decision.
81 In the course of the membership
meetings in New York and Philadel-
phia comrade Ruthenberg related all
these facts.
IL appears from the above facts.
that the G. E. C. took PROMPT and
proper action in the case of comrade
Lore, and, also, that the C. E. C. need
eo no reminder in the matter of COM

batting opportunist deviations in those
sections of the party where they
arise.
And yet some Of our comrades in
New York and in Philadelphia found
it necessary to introduce resolutions
of a sort which could have no other
purpose than to SOW doubt and suspi-
cion in the party ranks against the
c. e. c. and thus, by indirection, to
undermine its authority, crystalline
opposition to its leadership, and gen.
orally demoralize the party organiza-
ton.
Aside from this, the introduction OF
these resolutions was bound to divert
the attention of the membership from
the main purpose of these meetings,
thereby seriously interfering with our
campaign for the June 18th conven-
ton.
We Need United Party.
The success of our work, particu-
larly on the eve of the June II con-
vention, demands a united party. The
G. E. G. appeals to the party mem
bership for unity and action.
We also appeal to the comrades
involved in the opposition to lay aside
for the present their fractional differ
ences, and to give the C. e. C. and
the party the necessary support and
cooperation to make the labor party
campaign a success.
The c. E. C. is fully in favor of
freedom of discussion within the
party organization and in the party
press Of all new problems and difficult
ties arising out of our activities. But
at the same time the C. E. C. feels
In duty bound to insist that once a
matter has been settled by the proper
party authorities, and a call for ac-
ton issued, the party ranks must
close, and every party member must
render the c. e. C. the utmost sup
port and cooperation.
Close the ranks, Comrades!
Strengthen the party organization!
Forward to the June II Conven-
ton!
To Glass Farmer-Labor Party!
To Workers and Farmers govern
ment in the U. S. and thence to the
Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

Proposes Islands
Near Washington
As Beauty Spots

Development of a number of small
islands in the Potomac River be-
tween here and Alexandria has been
proposed to the National Capital
Park Commission by Engineer Com
missioner Bell to further beautify
the waterway approach to the city.
Maj. Bell pointed out yesterday
that there are patches of marsh
land along the banks of the Potomac
below the city that could be con-
verted into attractive spots by the
process of dredging and filling.
In most instances, the ma jor said,
the islands thus reclaimed would be
worth more to the Government than
the cost of the operation. The
scheme is still in formative state
and may not be carried out for some
time to come, but Maj. Bell believes
it is a project worthy of consider
alton by the park commission.

PHILADELPHIA August Prices
established by the Fuel Administra-
tion during the World War are the
basis on which the Government is
to reimburse owners and producers
whose coal was confiscated for gov
ernment purpose during the war
period, Federal Judge Dickinson de-
cided here today in the United States
District Court.
The ruling was made on a claim
by Archibald Mcneil and Sons Com
pany, incorporated, coal brokers, for
the payment of s234,320 in addition
to what it had already received from
the government, on the ground that
coal owners were entitled to receive
the prevailing export prices which
are considerably higher thhn the
Fuel Administration rates.
Had the decision been in the favor
of the coal owners, the government
would have been liable for extra
payments of many millions on coal
confiscated during the war.

NEW YORK-Young Stribling,
Georgia light heavyweight, and Paul
Berlenbach, New York, went six
rounds to a draw. The decision
was not popular, partisan opinion
backing each boxer for the winner.
Stribling, suffering from the effects
of a heavy cold, did not show the
form exhibited in his previous
matches. He was slow and lacked
steam, although he boxed well en-
ough to stay away from the hard
punching Berlenbach.
