economic position in Central and
Western Europe, and thirdly an agrar-
ian crisis on world-scale connected
with the Shears" j. g. the disparity
between the prices Of food stuffs and
industrial products,
The agrarian crisis promotes the
revolutionizing of the peasant masses
against financial capital. The stabil-
ization has been achieved by means
of expropriating the middle classes
and a portion of the peasantry, by
means of increased pressure upon the
working class whose wages were re-
duced and whose working hours have
been increased. 1t is a new pheno-
menon that the economic revival SYN
chronizes with the greatest political
difficulties.
Thus in England one witnesses the
centrifugal efforts of the colonies, So
cial unrest and labor struggles. In
France there is an increase in the
state debt, in the taxes and in the
cost Of living. The bourgeoisie needs
a breathing space, therefore on its
part it employees the tactics of the
united front in order to win over the
petty bourgeoisie. Where the class
antagonisms are aggravated, the unit
ed front of the bourgeoisie is repre-
scented by Fascism, where they are
less aggravated, this is achieved by
a coalition with the Social Democracy
A Series Of Defeats.
Against the Restoration" offensive
of the bourgeoisie, the proletariat at
tempted to break thru the front of the
bourgeoisie. The autumn events in
Germany, Poland and Bulgaria result
ed everywhere in defeat, as a result
of which crises arose in the sections
of the Comintern. The general cause
of the crises consists in that the Com
munist Parties in the West still re-
tain remnants of Social Democracy
and the Communist Parties by reason
of the tactics of the united front are
compelled to work among the petty
bourgeoisie, fact which however,
proves nothing against the tactics of
the united front. The essence Of the
crises was the Bolshevization Of the
parties in the west.
The delegation of the Russian Com
munist Party in the Executive Coun-
Gil Communist International was
charged by the opposition of the
Russian Communist Party with hav-
ing caused a split in the Communist
Party of Germany. After a detailed
description Of the October crisis Blu
charm declared that the Political Blu
reau of the Russian Communist Party
regarded the Saxon policy as an op-
portunist application of the united
'front.' tactics. The united front tao
tics in Germany must be adapted to
! the concrete situation and can only
be employed from below.
Bulgarian Mistake.
The Communist Party of Bulgaria
during the Zankov Coup d'Etat had
misunderstood the relations to the
peasantry, fact which facilitated the
victory Of the counter-revolution The
September instruction, however,
proved that the Communist Party, al
tho late, recognized the Importance
Of the peasantry.
The relations to the peasantry pro-
voked also a crisis in the Workers
Party of America. The agrarian crisis
and the appropriation of the middle
classes stimulated the formation of a
third great party, which a group of
comrades wanted to support. 1t is
true that that error is easily to be
accounted for in view Of the extreme
ly complicated situation, the Execu-
tive Council, Communist international
however has swung the helm to the
left.
The Communist Party Of England
had, at the beginning, afforded too
much support to Macdonald, which
had to be rectifed by the Commun.
list International.
The Communist Party Of Poland at
first supported the opposition in the
Russian Communist Party, but
changed its attitude when seeing the
success of the Central Committee.
