workers and poor farmers for LaFol-
lette in the election.
In a sense this developing LaFol-
Iette party will mark the completion
of a process which is taking place in
almost every highly-developed capital
list country. It is the development
towards an organizational merger be-
tween the political expression of the
petty bourgeoisie and the political ex-
preston Of the trade union bureau.
cracy and certain sections Of the labor
aristocracy.
In England this development is
manifesting itself in the studied pol.
icy Of the Macdonald group to trans.
form the labor party from a political
party of the trade unions into COM
bination between the bourgeois mid
die classes and the upper sections Of
labor, that is, by converting the labor
party more completely into bourge.
OILS third party.
In France the same development is
taking place in the form Of parlia.
mentary alliance between the socialist
party and the liberal parties Of the
bourgeoisie, the so-called left bloc
which form the basis of the Herriot
government. Socially and politically
this left bloc is of the same nature as
the LaFollette movement.
In Germany the social-democracy
which is effectively the party Of the
trade union reactionaries and the
labor aristocracy, is working hand in
hand with the liberal bourgeoisie and
jointly they present the main support
of the present German government.
In all these countries the working
masses which are not following this
petty-bourgeoisc combination, are either
SO politically immature that they
still follow the parties of big capital
and the land-holding aristocracy, or
they are ideologically advanced en-
ough to follow the Communist parties
Like the late Macdonald govern
ment in England, which carried out
the policies of British imperialism
in India, Egypt, China, ETC., like the
Herriot government in France, which
dutifully executes the policies of the
Comite des FORCES and continues
French imperialist policies in Moroc
co. Madagascar, French Indo-China
etc., like the German social-demo
cracy continues the policies OF Ger
man capitalism, the LaFollette move
ment being Of the same social compo
sition, will inevitably continue the pol
icies Of American imperialism, despit,
its paciflstic phraseology.
Therefore, the LaFollette movement
in America and the future LaFolletts
party, should be considered the Amer
lean expression of democratic pacif
ism. the objective meaning Of which
is, in the words Of the Fifth Congress
Of the Communist International, al
follows:
THAT the bourgeoisie can no longel
rule according to its old methods, tina
this period reflects the instability o
the capitalist structure, its decline
which is beginning to develop in des
cending curve.

on lts own platform, under It's own
name, in the elections. To pene-
trate the c. P. P. A. (labor wing Of
the LaFolIette movement) means
participation in the "third party"
which Is absolutely unbelievable.
8. BoIshevlzation Of the Workers
Party. In the difficult period Of
class struggle just ahead, the first
necessity Is q real BoIshevlk party.
The Workers Party must be made
into such a party. It must be the
leading figure In every struggle Of
the workers; Il must educate it's
members In Marxism and Lenin-
ism; Il must completely reoruanIze
Itself on the basis Of shop nuclei;
II must be nonoIIthlc party, hewn
Of one piece, prohibiting fractions,
groups, and tendencies; 1t must
make relentless struggle against
opportunlsm in all It's forms within
the Workers Party, against the 2Ia
International tendency, represented
in the group around the VoIkszel-
tunp, az we'll as against the more
lnsIdious and menaoing danger Of
farmsr.Iahorism in our ranks.
8. No Substitutes for the Work
ers Party. Nothing can replace the
Workers Party either as the leader
Of the proIetarlan revolution or as
the practical leader In the every
day struggle. The Idea that a
"farmer-Iabor party" Is the natural
and only possible leader Of the
practical struggles Of the workers,
and that II is the duty Of the Work
srs Party to create such a farmer
labor party, is a petty bourgeois
deviation, It Is opportunisn, It is
revision Of the fundamental theo-
ries Of Lenlnism, and II leads di.
reetIy to the liquidation of the
Workers Party.
z. The Workers Party is the Only
Glass Party of the Workers. There
Is only one party that fights always
and everywhere for the interests Of
the working class, that has no in
terests apart from those Of the
working class, and that party Is the
party Of Communism, the Workers
Party. The Workers Party must
claim and fight for It's position Of
leadership. No fake labor parties
can be allowed to stand In the way.
The Workers Party must tell the
working class that only by follow
| ing revolutionary policy, only by
accepting the leadership Of the
Communist international and its
section, the Workers Party, either
by joining the Workers Party or
entering into a united front with
II, can the working class fight for
immediate betterment or final
emancipation. The Workers Party,
under it's own name, It's own ban
ner, its own program of practical
struggle, must enter into every
battle Of the workers against their
oppressors, calling for and forming
where possible all sorts Of united
fronts upon specific issues, and US
Ing every such struggle, whether
alone or in a united front, as In
struments for directly recruiting
the workers into the Workers
Party and building II into the mass
Communist Party that will lead the
proIetarian revolution In America.

this meeting, which was held on
the eve Of the full C. {. C. meet
Ing where theses were to be con-
sidered and the discussion officially
opened, an attempt was made to
force the meeting to an Immediate
decision on our central political
problem. This attempt was bitter
ly resented by another section Of
the meeting which Insisted upon a
study Of the theses and q more
thoro discussion before coming to
a decision. The result was to COM
pletely demorallze the meeting, to
divert attention from the main
questions Of policy to questions Of
parliamentary procedure and tech
mic, and to finally break up the
meeting in disorder.
Similar attempts will Inevitably
produce similar results. The Cen
trial Executive Committee therefore
calls upon all party committees to
so organize and conduct the discus
sion ss TO prevent the occurrence
anywhere in the party Of Incidents
Of this kind.
We are enclosing herewith a
copy Of a C. {. C. resolution on the
party discussion. This resolution,
together with this letter, must be
the guide Of all responsible party
committees during the party dis
cusslon. The discussion must be as
thoro and complete az possible. All
party members must be given full
opportunity to hear and discuss all
points Of view and to freely express
their own opinion. There must be
no limitation or restriction Of these
rights in any section Of the party.
II is only by strictly adhering to
these principles that we shall be
able to mobilize the collective ex-
perIenee and intelligence Of the
party for a correct solution of our
Immediate problems, and to pro-
coed from this to the strengthen
ing Of our party and its develop
n1ent towards a mass Communist
Party capable Of leading the toll
Ing masses Of America to a victory
over the boureeolsle.
Fraternally,
The Central Executive Committee
Of the Workers Party Of America.

governments. like governments OF an
analogical type which may still be
formed, not only are incapable Of
carrying on really democratic and
peaceful policy, but on the contrary,
will themselves become Fascist very
quickly. The class struggle will by
no means be stifed, but will burn all
the more brightly in the bounds of
these democratic and 'paciflst'
states. The change Of regimes (de-
mocracy-fascism-- will
all the more certainly undermine the
foundations Of tottering capitalism.
From each such change the masses of
the people and, especially, the prole-
tartan masses, will emerge all the
richer in political experience, and
seasoned with a greater readiness for
the struggle, while the bourgeoisie
and It's servants, the social demo

no confidence left In Themselves or

z. The LaFolIette Movement and
the Labor Party.
The movement towards a farmer
labor party, that is, a political mass
party based upon the economic mass
organizations Of the workers and the
poorest sections OF the farmers, and
pursuing a policy Independent of
bourgeois parties, and more particul-
arly the movement for a farmer-labor
ticket in the presidential elections of
1924, these movements have been de-
feated by the going-over of the c. p.
P. A. and the Gompers' machine into
the LaFollette camp carrying with
them the great mass of organized
workers. In fact one Of the reasons
why the c. P. p A. and the Gompers'
machine so readily accepted the can
didacy of LaFollette and entered into
the alliance with the petty bourge-
oisie was to block and to Illustrate the
further development Of such a farmer.

THE ECONOMIC AND THE POLITICAL
SITUATION AND THE TASKS OF
THE WORKERS PARTY OF AMERICA

Of the capitalist system in Europe
Is gradually extending Itself to

8. Struggle Against LaFoIIettIsm
The principal task Of the Workers
Party Is to break away the workers
and poor farmers from LaFoIlett
ism, and to win them fer the class
struggle. When a strong and indie
pendent movement for a farmer
labor party existed, an effectlVC
weapon for this end was found In
the slogan "For q Farmer-LaboI
Party" Now that this movement
has lost It's Independence anc
and Is merged In the LaFoIlette
movement the slogan has become
Ineffective. Now as before the
united front is the principal tactic
but today II must be the united
front to fight for specific demands
