farmers we can not expect to be VIC
torious Immediately in the first en-
counter. Therefore, after we have
shown up the lower middle class
sufficiently, we will declare that we
will not desert the laboring masses
despite their mistake which in our
opinion they have made. We will
support their candidates and so pre-
pare the school of experience for the
workers, which will complete what
our propaganda has not completed,
the destruction of lower middle class
illusions Of the laboring masses. We
will therefore support the lower
middle class politicians, in the words
of Lenin, as rope supports hanged
man.
To see a compromise with the
lower middle class in the proposed
tactics of the Executive, or even an
attempt to dissolve our party in a
lower middle class party shows a
great lack of understanding of the
problems before us or it shows an
opposition to the united front tactic.
Nobody wants a compromise with

interest Of the successful achieve
ment Of the united front tactics we
must make concession to the petty
bourgeois theology Of the laboring
masses. Only in this way can we
hope to overcome this theology in
common action.
The tactics of the united front have
their dangers, especially for such
comrades who fear too strong a test
of their Communist fundamentals.
Such comrades at times convince
themselves that their stand is more
radical, more pure in principle than
that Of the opponents of concrete
united front tactics. But the charac-
terization of the right elements of
the Communist Party of France,

talists; the /. w. w. sets all its hopes
on the direct economic revolutionary
action of the industrial unions in
the struggle against the capitalists.
Against this counter-revolutionary
and revolutionary anti-political at
titude of the American Federation of
Labor and the /. w. w. the Socialist
Party never opposed consistent
revolutionary political tactic. The
right wing Of the Socialist Party (the
Victor Bergers, Morris Hillquits and
Meyer Londonsl have degraded and
narrowed political activity into cleo
ton campaigns and into parliament
tary activity. The election cam
paigns were not utilized by them to
mobilize the masses, but as a means
to grab seats in Congress. The pro-
letarian participation in Congress
they did not use for revolutionary
propaganda or for awakening the
class consciousness of the working
class, but as a means to secure small,
insignificant patchwork reforms with
in the capitalist system.
The left wing Of the Socialist
Party was justly Disguised with the
shallow opportunist tactics Of the

front, the Characterization made by
Comrade Zinoviev at the Enlarged
Executive of the Communist Inter-
national in February applies to
these comrades in our Party. Zinc
view said there that the right wing
of the French Party fought against
the united front ostensibly to prove
the purity of their principles. In
reality, however, these comrades had
so little confidence in this purity
that they feared to appear in a
united front with non-Communist
workers, because they were not GER
tain that these workers will not be
able to distinguish them from nom
Communists.
The problem before us is not a
compromise with the lower middle
class. but the question Of how we
Communists can free the masses Of
workers and poor farmers from the
influence Of lower middle class ide-
ology and leadership. Our answer
is, thru political action This an
swer of the supposed "Lefts" is,
thru political propaganda" It is
not very hard to decide.
But until this decision has been
definitely made, we should confine
the discussion to party comrades.
We should guard against sowing mis-
trust outside against our party and
our movement. Have those who with
such self confidence have raised the
accusation of reformism stopped to
consider what they would do if the
decision goes against them? By
what means will they restore the
confidence in the Party among those
outside Of the party, the confidence
which they now destroy with such
a light heart, so as not to miss the
opportunity to score a run in the
race, and not because they want to
find the right thing for the Party,
but to be fright" in any case.

PARLIAMENTARISM

our practice the Party is still suf-
fering from the old American anti
political traditions Of the working
class. In theory our party is for
election campaigns, but in practice
we have not had until now a single
election campaign in which the Party
on national scale or the various
party organizations on a local scale
really intellectually participated.
The recent attempts in New York
and Cleveland, have shown that we
could not mobilize the Party menu
bership for an election campaign.
Our Party in this respect is like the
newly-baptized Jew who carries
cross about his r1e6k but still cannot
eat pork. Our Party carries the
theoretical cross. Of participation in
election campaigns, but its anti-poli-
teal instincts still reject real parti-
cipation in election campaigns. The
atavistic anti-political inclinations
still live too strongly in our Party.
It is our duty to fight against these
inclinations. We hope that thru the
Labor Party campaign and especially
thru the thoro going mobilization
of the Party for the presidential and
Congressional elections of 1924, we
can uproot the last vestiges of the
freakish mixture of anti-political OPP
portunism and anti-political revolu-
tionary phrase from our party.
gularly beautiful work, a study in
musical dusk and mystery.
The program ended with a sere-
made and a waltz by d'Indy. They

things.
Someone has suggested that small
orchestras of this kind viii sup

Perish the thought The Solo or
chestra is an organization capable
Of producing worth while and valu-
able effects, but the sorority and
the fire Of full orchestra are lack
ing. A sort of glorified chamber
music is its field, and outside of this
graceful and delicate form Of art,
it has no business to go.

OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE THIRD PARTY

middle class. Who has ever made
such a proposal? Concessions are
proposed. But not concessions to the
lower middle class; only concessions
to the working class whose minds
are unfortunately still filled with
lower middle class illusions.
No compromise with the lower
middle class is proposed. But also
no fight from the great mass of
workers and poor farmers. simply
because they have not yet freed
themselves from all capitalist ide-
ology.
Furthermore, we should do every
thing, to snatch the workers and
poor farmers from the leadership
of the lower middle class and to sep
arate them from the lower middle
class. If we do not succeed in
doing this we will at least not per-
nit the lower middle class to sep
arate us from the laboring masses
thru our own free and voluntary
abdication.
And finally we should warn the
workers in this case of the results
Of their submission to the leadership
of lower middle class politicians. We
should prophesy the unavoidable de-
ception. which such a leadership
must result in for the MASSES Of
workers and poor farmers. But we
should not be merely prophets; we
must in the first place have a policy.
Thus, we must do everything that is
necessary, in order to convert our
momentary defeat into a later vic
tory, but we must not flee. To flee
would mean that we give up the
fight for the leadership of these
masses and that we surrender these
masses to the lower middle class
leadership fer better OF for worse.
In fighting for the souls Of the
laboring masses and revolutionary
