the struggle against LaFollette did
we put up the farmer-labor party? No
there was only one party in the field
for independent political action, the
Workers Party. Was it possible to
have a united front on other issues
in the convention with non-C Communist
workers? Yes OF course. Amalgama
ton of the Metal Trades Unions,
which is so vitality necessary for these
workers, was one of the issues upon
which a great fight took place in that
convention. In that fight the small
force Of Communists were able to mo-
bilize the majority Of rank and file
delegates in the convention. In the
struggle for two-year convention and
two-year election of officers the united

BY EARL r. RRowpER.


Our right wing minority tries to put
the question; "Shall we change
our policy, or shall we keep the old
one" And Comrade Powell, in the
DAILY WORKER of Dec 6, raises a
point of order against the c. e. c.,
declaring that 1t has no right to say
the labor party movement has disap
peared from the political arena until
the last convention decision has been
changed. Both the minority and their
champion, Comrade Powell, ignore
one factor very essential for Marxists
the objective conditions. A policy
formulated for a certain situation
when carried over to later period
becomes a different policy in every
thing except the paper and ink which
states it. Our labor party policy under
the conditions of last year becomes o
very different thing under the condi.
lions Of this year. Even such a form.

to the march Of political events.
But the Minority Also Wants Change
When the minority proclaims their
desire to keep the old policy" they
are, however, guilty of something
more than ignoring the above-men
toned very important fact. They are
guilty Of misrepresenting their own
position as stated in black ink on
white paper.
The minority advances the slogan

last year on building farmer-laboT

pressed the party policy laid down by
the last convention. The slogan is:
For Mass Glass FarmerLahor Party.
So we see that the c. E. c. and the
minority are united on at least one
thing: they both want to change the
policy. While the C. E. C. wants to
find more effective ways to reach the
MASS, the minority clamors for pol

In spite of all the protestations of

Discussion Of Our Party's Immediate Tasks

Comrade Ruthenberg ia his article
in the DAILY WORKER for Dec. ]
wants to create the impression that
some other party than the Commun-
list party can better fight the coming
battles of the workers. Comrade
Ruthenberg also seems to create the
impression that half million workers
were organized into farmer-labor
party. l would like to be shown sne
correctness of this statement 1t is
true that representatives Of that many
workers were brot together for con.
ferences, but Comrade Ruthenberg for
gets that after each conference a split
took place and that in the meantime
the LaFolIette movement swallowed
up the labor parties.
The majority thesis is correct In
that it examines whether or not there
is an actual demand or movement
toward farmer-labor party, whether
this slogan for q farmer-labor party
can move large masses of workers and
farmers and base their conclusions on
the actual conditions existing at this
time. The majority thesis also propose
to apply the united front from below
in the actual everyday struggles OF
the workers; It proposes to Bolshevize
the party, thru systematic education
of our members, not In farmer-labor.
ism but in fundamental Communist
principles, thru the building up and
reorganization OF the party on shop
nuclei basis, the strengthening of our
industrial work, thru the shop commit.
tee movement, our participation IN
strikes, the struggle against the trade
union bureaucracy, etc. BY this cor.
rect application Of the united front
thru struggle the Workers (Commun.
ist) Party win become the leader OF
these struggles and develop into 3
powerful mass Communist party and
realize the proletarian dictatorship IN
| the United States.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-12-16
(WHICH CHANGER"

Here is progress, when we can
agree upon two such vital points. We
agree that the policy must be changed,
and we agree that the change is nee.
essary because the masses are no
longer moving toward farmer-labor
party. What is the necessary change
in order to preserve real Communist
policy for the Workers CCommunist)
Party? That is the question.
A Substitute for the w. p, or United
Front From Below?
The minority proposes to cling to
the farmer-labor slogan, without the
masses, and proceed to the building
up Of farmer-labor parties" and "by
carefully directed agitation" to create
a left class party bloc" inside of the
LaFollette movement which, at the
psychological moment, is to be split
away under the leadership Of the
Communists, who remain on the out
side directing affairs. Insofar as the
proposal of the minority is not utterly
fantastical, insofar as their "class
farmer-labor party" could be crystal
lized at all, it is proposal to build an
opportunist substitute for the Work.
ers Party which is to serve in its place
as the organ Of struggle politically
usurping the place of leadership.
The Central Executive Committee
thesis demands that we get down to
the realities of the class struggle, and
begin to form our united front from
below in the actual struggles of the
masses. In this united front in the
struggle it demands that we shall be.
gin to make the masses acquainted
with the Workers Party, not in the ca
pacity OF John Alden pleading with
Priscilla Workingclass to marry Miles

OF the actual leader, organizer, and in.
spirer of the working masses, under
its own banner and with its own prac.
tical and revolutionary program both
for the immediate struggles and the
future battles for power.
No John Alden Role for Usl
We must go to the masses! Not to
plead the cause of an illusory farmer.
labor partyi Miles Standish was no
damn good anyway, Priscilla would
never have been happy with him, and
John Alden was a fool not to ask the
girl to marry himself. There is no
reason why we have to be fools in the
same way and plead any other cause
with the working class than our own
which is the cause of the class strug
gle and the final emancipation of the
working class. The original John
Alden was a character not without
some dignity, but if the minority have
their way the Workers Party will be
repeating history as farce Down

CALIFORNIA PROVES MAJORITY
POSITION.

ton to the old parties thru the labor
party. It is obvious to every one now
that those workers who broke with
the old parties are accepting the La
Toilette movement instead. Where is
the basis for F. L. p. slogan? Prior
to the LaFollette wave those workers
who accepted the L. P. were willing
to accept our leadership and we were
successful in isolating the reactionary
officials from the rank and file. Now
it is impossible to do that with q F.
L. P. We must adopt slogans that
the rank and file will fight for, and
on that basis destroy the leadership
Of the labor takers. Furthermore the
masses can be moved effectively with
political parties whose program is
parliamentary only during parIia-
mentary campaigns. We had that ex-
perience in Los Angeles. Immediately
after the city elections our L. p.
meetings were attended by a handful
of people. Many unions dropped their
affiliation. When mass meetings were
called, they were a complete failure.
The rank and file of the trade unions
did not attend and the militant work.
ers ignored them because they were
not revolutionary enough.
Today the #. L. p. slogan will not
create any enthusiasm amongst the
masses. In fact the common expires.
sion amongst workers today is: Wait
until 1928 and we win put LaFollette
over. We can only fight this LaFoI-
lette illusion with united front slogans
that touch the immediate needs OF
the workers and not with abstract
slogans for new parties.

BY A. OVERHEARD.

In the discussion on the thesis of
the G. E. G. and the Lovestone-
Ruthenberg thesis, it will be well to
consider the practical application OF
the two policies in the field of struggle
in order to come to correct conclus-
ion. 1t is not enough to consider such
an important political question over
cup of tea in social settlements in
New York or on the basis of facts"
gathered In a research Office but on
the basis of actual contact with the
masses and our experience in the
struggles of the working class.
According to the observation-disclosures
berg thesis we are to create a special
non-Communist party in order to at.
tract wide masses. This theory smells
too much of the theology of the Sec.
ond-and-a-Half International. The po-
litical consciousness of the masses de-
velops out OF the struggles against
the capitalist class and we cannot
awaken this consciousness by Just
giving them new parties or by throw
ing slogans to them, unless these slo
gans are based on the actual needs
of the workers. We must also exam
inc carefully whether there is actually
movements towards the realization OF
these demands.
The United Front and Farmer
Labor Party.
According to the Lovestone-Ruthen
berg thesis the united front can only
be realized thru the formation of
farmer-labor party. This is sheer non
sense and not in line with the policy
OF the Communist International. The
minority wants left wing labor party
or sort of Number Two, which shall
take in all the disillusioned workers
in the LaFollette camp and the Work
ers Party shall be the Number One;
we shall then proceed to disilluslon
these workers into the Number One,
the Workers Party. What will be the
result?
This policy will no doubt lead to the
weakening Of the Workers Party by
taking from It all the functions of lead
ing the working class in the struggle
for immediate demands and these
functions will be taken care Of by this
substitute, 1t will also tend to liqui
date the Workers Party.
According to the minority the Work.
ers Party can not be used to fight for
the immediate needs Of the working
class. That will be taken care OF by
the so-called revolutionary" class

famous mass meeting in Chicago
under the auspices Of the farmer-labol
party where we launched the cam
