from all strata of the oppressed and
exploited by capital; it is formed Of
thousands of separate organizations,
tens Of thousands of stores and indus
trial enterprises.
What could this organization be-
come, what power could it exert7
What does it represent in reality?
In what manner did the co-operatives
demonstrate their, power when the
hideous nightmare of the imperialist
war lowered over Europe? When
grasping capitalists drove housewives
to despair? What did the co-operat-
ives do to ameloriate the unheard-of
distress of the working class? When
and where did the co-operatives really
try to place the control of industry
into the hands of the workers?
The practical help that the cooper
alive gave the masses of workers is
insignificant. All members of coop
erative societies know this and are
loudly expressing their dissatisfaction
with the present state of affairs. The
co-operatives cannot lag behind in the
development of the capitalist produc-
ton. The advance of capital in many
countries has seriously affected the
co-operatives and thrown them back
several years in their development.

An International Conference Of Communist CooperaOrs

Marian dealt with the question of the
trade-unions and the co-operatiVes,
while comrades Stromer and Ostrov-
skaya spoke upon the women and the
cooperative movement. Under the
item miscellaneous" comrade Tisho-
mirov gave an interesting report on
the housing cooperative societies in
Soviet Russia. All the reports were
followed by detailed and thorough dis
cussions.
In the resolution of the section re.
port, it was pointed out that the old
decisions of the congress must be car
ried out with all energy, that CO.
operative section must be set up in
the party central of every country
and that in the general political cam
paigns, as well as in the press the
cooperative work must form an es-
sential part. Resolutions were
adopted to the effect that there must
be better mutual exchange of in
formation, that an international CO
operative journal, "the co-oeratives
in the class struggle" must appear
regularly, that visits must be arranged
to the various countries and a ma
tional Communist cooperative con
ference take place, that cooperative
courses must be arranged in the vari
GUS countries for the education OF
trained Marxist functionaries, etc.

are scattered.
All conscious members of the CO.
operatives are beginning to under
stand, that it is impossible to improve
the conditions of the exploited work
ers under the capitalist system. The
only way is the victory of the social
revolution. The slogan of the work
ing class is: "Proletariansl prepare
to seize political power" The class
conscious members of the class CO.
operatives are also convinced that this
is the right way.
What have the co-operatives done
and what could they do to help the
emancipation of the working class?
This question is most important for
every co-operator. 1t is high time to
reconsider the old theses formulated
by the Rochdale pioneers in 1874. 1t
is high time to adapt and develop the
theses to suit the epoch we live in.
Every co-operator must understand
that the idea of political neutrality at
Ia time when fascism Is attacking the
workers organizations and ruthIessIy
destroying the eo-operatives, Is wrong
and may even be disastrous. In Italy
the cooperative stores have been
plundered and closed, the cooperative
leaders have been killed, thrown into
prison and kidnapped. Both Commun-
list and reformist leaders have suf-
fered. The strongest workers COOP
eratiye society in Bulgaria, the "Osv-
'objdehie" Emancipation has been
destroyed, and the peasants co-operat
ives have suffered considerably. Is
II possible to talk Of neutrality toward
the present safe of affairs?

We call upon you to help us to
force the co-operatives to take an. ac-
tive part in the fight of the working
class for its emancipation. The value
of the cooperative societies consists

We have selected a play dealing

might become interested.

upon the Importance of cooperative
work as regards the political educa-

emphasize the necessity of coIlabora-

Finally, a manifesto to all members
Of co-operatives was issued, the full
text of which is given below.
The Conference has shown that
almost everywhere there are com.
rades possessing the energetic will to
link up the cooperative work within
the frame of Communist party work
| 1t was repeatedly stated that there
was no country where sufficient work
has been carried on among that great

paign on the 9Th of July to attract the
masses of the workers into the coop
eratives. We wish to take advantage
of these days when the eyes of the
masses are directed towards the CO.
Operatives to issue the following
manifesto to all members of the work
ing class conscious of their interests.
What are the co-operatives?
The co-operatives form an enormous
organization covering the whole
world; its members are recruited

cheaper and pay a dividend, but that
they can be Of help in the class strug-
gle to free the workers completely
from the yoke of the capitalist die
You must put yourselves the ques-
lion: What have our co-operatives
done till now? Have they established
funds to help the workers during
strikes? Have they supported the
workers in all their demonstrations,
political and trade union, that form
the preparatory fights for the seizure
of power? Have they formed close
connections with the revolutionary
trade unions and proletarian parties?
Have the town co-operatives closely
co-ordinated their activities with
those Of the country co-operatives
and other organizations? What have
they done to create and support close
economic relations with Soviet Rus
STA? Relations that are so essential
to improve the industrial life of the
world and thus ease unemployment?
What have the co-operatives done to
fight the constant danger of war and
fascism?
The answer to these questions viii
show how far the co-operatives have
realized the task that confront us in
the great fight of the working class.
1t will show whether they have re-
manned passive to the important in
ternational events and whether they
have become converted into a USE
less, commercial, compromising or
ganization in the hands of the reform
lists.
The co-operatives will only fulfil
the historical tasks they are called
upon the perform when they become
a component part of the proletarian
movement and take an active part in
the fight of the working class and in
this manner help establish a united
front between the revolutionary
workers and peasants.

national Conference are astounded at
