The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-10

The experts report will be fought by
the Communist parties. The French
left wing bourgeoisie urged the con-
tinued occupation of the Ruhr, and
thereby the French Socialists showed
themselves as the left wing of the
bourgeoisie. The Labor party will be
factor in English politics for many
years to come. The longer the Labor
party rules, the more quickly will illu-
sions be shattered. Illusions can
penetrate Communist parties too, and
we must struggle against this.
Fascist and Socialist Allies
A new factor in the situation is that
Social-demoeracy as third bourgeois
party, is splitting its power. This
shows that the problem of power has
gone a step further. Social-democracy
and Fascism are allies. AS far as
taking over the majority Of the work
ing class is concerned, anti-Leninistic
views sprang UP in the Czech parties.
1t is not question of united major
ity, but rather of majority of the
class-oonscious proletarian stratum.
When the good Czech Communist.
HULA, longs for a unified majority,
there are probably many other reform
t,t elements present in the Czech party.
Numerically, we are almost as strong
as the Second International, and for
this reason the same dangers confront
us. Whoever desires a unified major
ity is in conflict with the Comintern.
At the present time, our main tasks
are these: first, to build UP the Com
munist parties industrially, bit by bit;
second, to formulate a correct trade
union policy; third, to use proper
tactics in national questions; fourth,
to use sound methods in agrarian
problems. Grave mistakes on the
agrarian question were committed by
the Polish and Balkan parties.
Hesitatlng Leaders.
The question of the trade unions
presents new problems. In England,
the effort to liberate the working class
by reform is already in full owing.
The Vienna Congress of the Amster-
dam Trade Union International must
not be under-estimated, and neither
should it be overestimated. The leaders
hesitate, but the masses press forward.
At present English trade union leaders
are taking their stand with the left
wing, which shows that objective pre-
liminary conditions for the building
up of the party have been fulfilled. The
English workers will soon find their
illusions shattered, and will build UP
strong Communist party. In con-
trast to the factional tendencies of
French and German Social-democracy,
we desire the true unity of the labor
movement. We will formulate these
questions.
United Front
At the elections in the Carpathian
sections, certain comrades, such as
Tausik and Gait, have done brilliant
work, and yet the party as a whole
has not yet quite grasped the agrarian
problem. The United Front policy is
to be applied, not as general tactical
move, but in concrete instances. The
/ policy of the United Front arises from
our knowledge that we are not in a
majority, that Social-democracy is still
strong, and that we find ourselves
placed in the defensive. We look on it
as a revolutionary policy during the
period of the slow development of the
class struggle. Many comrades, how
ever, turned it into an evolutionary
policy. 1t is the chief failing of young
parties that they wish to extend every
bit of strategy in a pseudo-marxian
manner.
A good many Comrades do not seem
to understand, that the United Front
policy is only method of the rousing
and mobilizing the working class We,
too, made mistakes, and were entirely
too lenient When my formula: 1.-THE
United Front, a pseudonym for the
Dictatorship of the Proletariat"
assailed, l believed that the attacks
arose out of an error of policy. Only
later did / note the obvious opportu-
nistic Interpretation.
