THE ISSUES IN THE PARTY DISCUSSION

not conductive to the building up and
strengthening Of the Workers Party
and increasing it's prestige and ability
to lead the left wing Of the labor
movement; that the reorganization of
the party on the shop nuclei basis, the
creation Of shop committees and the
organization of the unemployed. are
the necessary methods.
The minority agrees that the latter
steps are not only desirable but ex-
tremely necessary, but claims that
political organization of the entire left
wing, including the Workers Party, as
an entity, with the on-Communists,
as forerunner to a mass Communist
Party and the political unity of all
the workers. is also Of prime import
ance.
The majority claims that there is
no demand, at present, for a mass,
class farmer-labor party. that those
who did formerly stand for the forma-
ton OF such a party are now salts
fed that in the LaFollette progressive
movement they have such a party or,
at least, the makings of one.
The minority deny that the demand
for class party of workers and poor
err farmers has ceased to exist outside
the ranks OF the present supporters OF
the LaFollette-progressive movement,
and contend that the latter elements
look forward, not to the formation of
a class party Of labor, but to a pro-
gressive, capitalistic party which shall
include, and be dominated by, labor
membership. They (the minority
say that those workers who did mis-
takenly support the LaFollette-pro-
gressiye movement in the recent cleo
tion, thinking that, as result, class
party Of labor would be formed, have
been disillusioned and have already
deserted. or will desert the LaFol-
lette leadership.

IN the discussion now going on with
/ in the party as to our party's i'm
mediate tasks, particularly in rela'
ton to the party's "farmer-labor
party policy, there is agreement on
four points, altho the conclusions are
reached in a slightly different way.
1. The proponents of each point Of
view claim that their proposed pol
icy is the one which is consistent with
the present policy Of the Communist
International. Both agree, rightly
that such consistency is desirable.
2. Both groups agree on the
necessity Of the Bolshevization Of the
party.
3. Both groups advocate the build
ing OF the United Front from Below"
4. The two points of view meet on
the proposition that the Workers
Party is the leader Of the left wing OF
the labor movement.
This agreement ON fundamentals
while differing as to the methods
necessary to pursue for their accom-
plishment, pending final decision Of
the party in Communist fashion, is
quite as II should be and in keeping
with Communist practice. II 1t we're
not for such differences, there would
be no discussions, and the party
would stagnate, which is not Com.
munist condition. These differences.
and therefore the discussions, lead to
the growth and strengthening, the
BoIshevization OF the Workers Party
and therefore should be welcomed by
all of us.
The c. Il. c. majority and minority
differ solely on how to go to the
Workers." otherwise they appear to
be in agreement.

Communist mass party of workers

LOVESTONE EXPOSES THE RIGHT WING

struggle for the unity Of the trade
union movement is one of the char
acteristic features Of Bolshevism.
solely for one reason, because
we regarded the trade unions as a
center around which the mass of the
proletariat, the whole working class
gathered They are the his
toric form of the mass organization
Of the proletariat under capitalism"
.'Lenin often said that had we
not had the unions behind us in
1917, the dictatorship would not
have lasted months, let alone years"
In other words, the Communists
fight for unity of the trade unions
(amalgamation) at any and all times
becaue it is historic necessity for
the revolution, because the winning OF
the trade unions is basic revolution.
airy strategy, because the Commun
lists must have them as fundamental
weapons for the overthrow Of CAPT
talism and the establishment of the
proletarian dictatorship.
What does it mean, therefore, when
Lovestone says the slogan Of the
farmer-labor party is equally impor
tant with that of amalgamation? 1t
can have but one meaning: Lovestone
and our right wing are revising their
conception Of the role of the Work
ers (Communist) Party. They do not
believe that There is and can be only
ONE party" They think that tbs
farmer-labor party is just as neces-
sary for the revolution as revolution
airy trade unions and a Communis
party. Or-is it possible-have they
stopped thinking about the revolu
ton?

Detroit Experience Supports c. E. c. Thesis

vention went forward Again we
went to the unions with resolutions.
Again we secured the passage Of these
resolutions.
Last April we issued the call for
the Wayne county farmer-labor party
convention. The D. F. of L. consider
ed this piece of impertinence on our
part. Delegates came from the Car.
penters, Painters, holders, Machin-
lists, BARRIERS, and several other un-
ions. But most Of them we're mem
bers of our party. We endorsed the
June II call and instituted an inten-
sive campaign to gain support.
Now we were working against the
bitter opposition of the trade union
politicians. We fought for June IT,
They fought for July 4. We advocated
class struggle. They advocated class
collaboration.
The result? The sentiment we had
Iabored so diligently to develop was
veered around to the collaboratIonist
policy Of the c. P. p. A.

Paul. Eleven of them we're members
of the Workers Party.

tinue the fight. On July we had a

farmer-labor party resolved itself into
what it had really been from its in.

with them.
And what is of greater Importance,
our membership is not for it. They
carry out party decisions in formal
manner, but there has never been any
real enthusiasm for it. And if a
slogan will not move the membership,
what must the effect of this slogan be
with the masses?
Our first task is to Bolshevize our
party. And this process Of Bolshe.
vization can best be carried out by
participation in the struggle of the
masses for their elementary economic
needs. Making revolutionary speech
es will not do it, though this may help.
Issuing revolutionary procIamations
will not do it, though this too may
help.
Political action is something more
than participation in election cam
paigns And 1t is these more elemen-
tary forms of political action that our
party must enter into. Wage cuts af-
feet our members as the broad mass
es are affected. The fight against the
wage cuts brings the masses into con-
fiict with the capitalist state power.
The same is true Of the struggle
against the open shop. The organi-
cation of the unorganized carries with
il strikes and lockouts with the police
and soldiery hurled against the work
ers. And so on down the line with
all these elementary economic issues
that confront the workers practically
every moment of their lives.
It is in these struggles that our
party must train itself for the leader
ship of the masses. 1t lacks the glow
of the spotlight. It falls short Of the
front page. But it is here, and only
here that we can gain the support
without which, no matter how much
we make a noise like Bolshevik. we
are nothing more than spouters of hot
air.

District Organizer, Dist. No. z.
THE party discussion should be
made the means of a real Com
munist education for our membership.
Every phase of the theses should be
fully treated, every tendency explain
ed. And when the convention speaks
we should have travelled long way
on the road to being "a monolithic
party, hewn Of one piece"
My contribution to the discussion
shall be based upon our experience
with the farmer-labor party move
ment in Detroit. think this exper-
fence will not differ greatly from that
in other localities. AS l have been
able to judge from information that
has come to me the experience Of the
party the country over has been sin
gularly uniform.
Here in Detroit the party has car
ried on an energetic campaign for the
farmer-labor party policy. Early in
1928 the party machinery was mob
ilized for the July Chicago conven-
ton. The labor movement here prides
itself on being progressive" and re-
solutions for labor party" met with
comparatively little opposition.
Numerous unions endorsed the July 8
convention call. The Detroit Fedora
ton of Labor voted to send delegates
After the convention Of the fed
Grated farmer-labor party, Geo. Tries,

made member of the F. F. L. p.
Executive Council made his report,
and we got the surprise of our lives.
We were ANONYMOUSLY defeated.
But we were not long in learning
the reasons for our defeat
During the whole campaign for the
F. L. p we had seriously neglected to
take the elementary steps that were
absolutely essential to make the F. L.
P. policy successful policy. Our
program states that "a real labor par
ty cannot be formed without the trade

But the fact was our membership
were not in the trade unions. And
this was (and isl true not only in
Detroit but thruout the entire coun-
try. Reports from the industrial de-
partment of our party showed that
only small fraction of the member
ship were in the unions. and the fur
Their fact, that only small fraction
Of those in the unions really partic.
ipated in trade union activity.
Here in Detroit we undertook to
remedy this defect. We undertook an
intensive campaign to get our mem
bership in the unions, and our effort
achieved considerable success. But
we were not so successful in getting
them to function actively in the trade
unions.
During the fall and winter Of 1923
and the spring OF 1924 we waged the
campaign for F. =. p. and we felt
we we're making progress.
