The Communist international in America

revolutionary workers in every coun-
try to unite under its auspices gave
tremendous impetus to the Left
Wing movement. The Left Wing i'm
mediately initiated a referendum in
the Socialist Party for affiliation with
the Communist international, which
received the overwhelming support of
the membership. At least three
fourth of the close to one hundred
thousand members of the Socialist
Party supported this referendum, only
to have their decision sabotaxed by
the ruling bureaucracy Of the So
cialist Party.
In the months which followed there
came into existence the Communist
Party of America, with over fifty
thousand members, which openly an
nounced its affihation with the Com
munist international. At the same
time the Communist Labor Party was
organized, which, while it did not as
directly state its affiliation, was equal
lily supporter Of the Communist In
Iternational. Only four months of
open work were permitted these or
ganized answers to the appeal Of the
Communist international, until the
government loosed its terror against
them in an effort to destroy them.
IL Brings Unity.
In the bitter factional struggles
which tore asunder the Communists
organizations during 1920 and 1921,
it was the Communist International
which appeared as the unifying infiu-
ence. 1t was the demand and infu-
ence Of the Communist international
which unified the United Communist
Party and the Communist Party in
1921. 1t was the representative OF
the Communist international who in
1922 led back into the Party the OPP
position which split away in the strug-
gle over the founding of the open
party.
Had there been no Communist In
ternational, no deciding and directing
body with authority to pass upon
question of the principles and tactics
for the revolutionary workers in the
United States and to direct their
movement into the right channels, the

resulted otherwise than it did. 1t j:

the application of this policy that it
has won its successes in crystallizing
the movement for independent poll
teal action by the workers and farm
ers, which in the present year will
find its expression in the organiza-
ton of mass farmer-labor party
an event of the most vital Importance
in the development of class action by
the workers and farmers of the
United States.
In its letter to the Third National
Convention Of the Workers Party the
Communist International called at
tention to phase of work neglected
by the party here-agitation against
American Imperialism and for free
dom Of its colonies-work, which has
since been begun.
Leads Revolutionary Struggle Here.
In guiding the Workers Party The
Communist international is guiding
the struggles of the American work
ers, for it is upon the principles laid
down by the Communist International
and policies it has enuneiated as the
means to win the support of the
workers for those principles, that
there will develop the mass move
ment of the American workers thru
which the struggle against capitalism
will be won in this country.
For the American workers, even
today, the Communist International
is not a PARKWAY abstraction but a
living, fighting organization which in
luences their struggles and guides
them along the road to victory.
Today the slogan of the Commun--
list International for the masses OF
workers and farmers of the United
States is, mass Farmer-Labor Party
lighting for a Workers and Farmers
Government. To this slogan hun
dreds of thousands of workers and
farmers are responding. On the
morrow, when the time is ripe, the
Communist international will raise
the new slogan of a Soviet Govern
ment and the Dictatorship of the
Proletariat and lead the workers in
their final struggle for lower, even
as it today leads them in preparation
for that struggle.
Hail to the Leadership of the COM
imunist international.

not an exaggeration to say that if
there is today in the United States
one party-the Workers Party-in
which all the Communist groups are
united, it is because of the persistent
effort and tactful guidance of the
international.
Establishes Correct Policies.
The contribution of the Commune
list international, however, has not
been limited TO solving the problem
Of fractional divisions. II was the
guiding influence Of the Communist
International which helped the Com
munist Party in this couptry to
formulate those policies which dur
ling the last year have enabled the
Party to make such great gains in
Establishing its influence among the
workers and farmers.
1t was the Communist international
which impressed upon the party
driven underground thru the Palmer
raids the need Of again fighting its
way into the open. The Workers
Party was established and the under
ground Com unist Party was
lliquidated with the aid of the Inter
national That so fundamental a
change in the policy of the Commun-
list Party in this country was achieved
without a split was due to the fact
that the International clearly saw the
need Of the movement in this coun.
try and used its disciplinary power to
establish what probably not a single
member of the Workers Party now
doubts was the right policy.

(Mcmber of the Executive Committee
Of the Communist International)
DIVE YEARS of work are behindthe
4 Communist International. What
relationship has the Communist In
ternational had to the workers of the
United States during those five
years? What has been its contribu-
ton to the struggles Of the workers
here? What has it achieved in this
country?
Has the Communist International
been merely a name here, to be APP
plauded by the revolutionary workers
and hated by the reactionary labor
leaders, or is it living force, leading
the struggles of the workers as it does
elsewhere in the world?
These are questions which may well
be asked on this Fifth Anniversary
of the founding of the Communist
international. 1t is a fitting thing
that in celebrating the Fifth Ami
versary that the workers here learn
that the Communist international il
not an organization of Russian, Ger
man, Italian, or even Of European
workers, but a world organization
which is guiding the struggles Of
the revolutionary movement in the
United States as it does elsewhere
in the world.
To make this clear it is necessary
only to review some of the main de-
velopments of the Communist move
ment in the United States. These will
show, what every worker in this
country should know, that the Com
munist International is the general
staff, the leading organization of the
struggle to free the American work
ers from exploitation and oppression
of capitalism; that the American
workers may look to it for help and
guidance as to the workers the world
over.
When the news reached the United
States about the historic meeting in
the Kremlin in March 5, 1919, at
which the Communist International
was organized, a well-defined Left
Wing was already struggling for con-

Communist parties, later united and
merged in the Workers Party; in
Italy and France the Socialist Par
ties, yielding to the mass pressure,
affiliated to the Third International
while retaining their reformist lead
ership intact; in almost every coun-
try Of Central Europe, Communist
parties were formed Between the

Organization. Within the parties
and groups that professed adherence
to the Third international were many
reformists, opportunists, and career
lists, merely carried along by the mass
movement and but awaiting an OBJ
portunity to betray it. The Second
Congress laid down the famous "21
points" as the basic principles Of or
ganization Of the world party. A

struggle, the Third Congress clarified
the strategy and tactics Of the Com
munist movement; formulated the
trade union program that has since,
crystalIized in the Red International
of Labor Unions, shaken the labor bu-
reaucracy; sealed the alliance be-
tween the revolutionary proletariat
and the suppressed peoples of the
East; and established the basis of the
United Front program that has since
penetrated the whole working class
with Communist thought.
In December, 1922, the Fourth
Congress of the Communist Interna-
tional found the world party mobil-
lied, organized, and in action all over
the world. No longer were there
questions that threatened the funda-
mental solidarity of the International.
The army of the world revolution was
consolidated; the problems were the
myriad questions of strategy and tao
tics to fit the multitude of situations
tries where the Communist Party is
established. And from the Fourth
Congress went forth a great inspira-
ton that, in the year 1923, carried
the world party onto a new stage Of
struggle. The German Communist
Party gained almost majority of
the German proletariat during 1928,
for example, and in the tremendous
strides forward Of the Workers Par
ty of America we see another witness
of the vitality Of the Communist In
lternational.
Now, on the fifth anniversary of
the founding of the Communist Inter-
national, it is hard to realize that it
is but five years ago that little
group Of hardened revolutionists,
most of them exiles and some, like
Boris Reinstein from America, Rus
sian revolutionists returned to their
native land after years Of wandering,
gathered in the Kremlin to found the
World Party of the workers. Only
five years-but what tremendous
years they have been. Thru those
five years the working class Of the
world has reached its maturity and
prepared itself to govern the world.

 WILSON MESSAGE
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER

F (By Leased Wire 10 ASe-derdluJ N NEW YORK, June 23.-Woodrow Wilson's last activity in behalf of his party and the political principles he es- poused has been revealed here by New ton D.

 < If Wilsonian doctrines find their way into the democratic platform, as advo- gated by many of the late presidents friends who are attending the conven- tion, their inspiration will have come from a document which Wilson drew up shortly before his death.
 As the result of many conferences with his friends Baker disclosed, MT. Wilson drew up list of political sub jects which were to be discussed in the Wilson circle. These topics involved the future of the partH according to Baker, but never reached completion and could not be Considered final or mature expression of Mir. Wilson's views"
