Fifth Day Of Congress.
Comrade Radek Speaks.
The past year brought rising re-
volutionary wave and then the au-
tumn defeats. The Communist Party
Of Bulgaria committed errors in the
employment of the united front tao
tics, fact which however, is to be
understood.
In the October defeat Of the Ger
man proletariat, it was a main fault
of the Executive Council Communist
International that it perceived the re-
evolutionary situation too late. The
retreat in Germany was absolutely ne
cessary as the German proletariat was
unarmed, as there existed no mass
organization, and as the party was too
weak to organize the revolution.
While the comrades of the Brandler
group consist of the oldest function
aries of the movement, some of the
left comrades in Germany have not
been in the party for any great length
of time.
The present leadership of the Com
munist Party of Germany has commit
ted the gravest faults IN the trade un-
ion question as we'll as in the question
of the united front tactics and even
comrade Zinoviev had been obliged to
oppose them in this. The electoral
victories of the German and French
Communists are indeed great, but
nevertheless the Social Democratic
parties in France and Germany are
still the strongest parties of the work
ers.
Dangers threaten from the right but
also from the left. am prepared to
fight against the right, if the left is
also opposed. The main task is the
creation of mass organizations and
the capturing of the trade unions.
Dangers From Right.
Three main questions are engaging
the attention of the Comintern: The
discussion in the Russian Communist
Party, the German question and the
question of the Macdonald govern
ment The fact that the coming to
power OF the Macdonald government
created illusions proves that on a
world-scale a right wing in the Com
intern is consolidating itself and that
opportunist deviations are again be-
ing galvanized. In Holland even a
Communist declared that it was a
question as to whether the Russian
October revolution or the Macdonald
government was more important from
the world-historic point Of view.
The Communist Party of France
has fulfilled its duty in the question
of the Ruhr occupation This is proved
by the arrest of the Central and of
many youth comrades.
Comrade Souvarine attempted to
defend the attitude of the opposition
in the Communist Party Of France
and declared that the Communist
Party of France had not supported the
Opposition in the Russian Communist
Party, but had only been opposed to
the sharp tone Of the discussion. Com
rade Trotzky symbolizes the revolu-
ton and therefore we defended him.
Bueharin Replies to Radek.
Comrade Radek had declared that it
had been a main fault in the German
question that the Executive Council
Communist international had per-
ceived the revolutionary situation too
late. At that time it was comrade
Radek alone who protested against a
Revolutionary transformation of the
party Comrade Radek had directed
criticism against the fixing of term
but the Executive had not forced the
question of term.
The present leadership of the Com.
munist Party of Germany committed
errors. which must be made good
But the party has now united and
firm leadership, while the Central OF
Brandler was in chronic crisis.
/ do not overestimate the electoral
victories of the German Communists
only claim that the situation in the
Communist Party of Germany is rela
lively good.
