stand in some of these instances that
the policies which you were asked to
put into effect were the policies adopt
ed by the party and in arriving at a
decision the c. E. c. has taken this
fact into consideration.
The decision of the G. E. c. made
in the light of the foregoing is as fol
lows:
l. That you must Immediately sevei
any connections which exist between
yourself and any other caucus or or.
ganization other than the regular
party industrial caucus or the T. U. E.
L. group.
2. You are placed on probation as a
party member. While your full rights
to function in the organization as
members are not limited in any way,
the c. e. c. considers that you must
show by your conduct in the future
that you are entitled to remain mem.
bers of the Workers Party. The con-
dition Of such continued membership
is that you promptly and fully carry
into effect in your work in other or
CARNATIONS all decisions which are
conveyed to you as the decisions of
the governing party committee. ANY
future violation of this fundamental
principle of Communist discipline will
result in immediate reopening of the
question by the c. E. c. and prompt
disciplinary action.
The c. E. C. of the party further
instructs that copy Of this commun-
ication shall be sent to the d. E. c.
and that the d. E. c. invite you to ap-
pear before it to state your future in
tentions to carry our party policy as
required by the decisions Of the C.

OUR POLICY in THE FARMER-LABOR PARTY

Ipaign. The instructions further stated
that if our candidates are defeated in
the FLIP primaries, we shall then sup
port in the election campaign the can
didates selected by the FLIP in the
primaries.
We do not understand how anything
more could be asked of us by the FLIP
and how we, as Communists, could do
anything less than this.
From your letter we gain the i'm
preston that it is your view that we
support the FLIP, not as Communists,
but as Farmer-Laborites, that is, that
we should not, at any stage or at any
time within the FLIP, advocate more
than the program which the FLIP
stands for. If we follow such policy,
how would we be different from the
followers and supporters of the FLIP
who are not Communists? What right
would be have to call ourselves a
Communist Party and distinguish our
seles from the mass of followers Of
the FLIP?
We do not become Communists by
merely calling ourselves by the name
Communists" In order to justify
our calling our Party a Communist
Party we must carry on work in sup
port of Communist principles. The
fundamental principles of Commun-
ist Party are the struggle for a prole-
tartan revolution, for Soviets, and the
Dictatorship of the Proletariat. If we
are a Communist Party, then we must
carry on such a struggle. That is
what the Gee directed the comrades
lin Minnesota to do. Our instructions
were, in effect, that while we remain
part of the FLIP, while we Loyalty
support the FLIP in its struggle
against the capitalist parties, within
the FLIP we carry on struggle to
win the workers and farmers for our
program Of a proletarian revolution,
the Soviets, and the Dictatorship of
the Proletariat.
The Gee we'll understands that the
moment that we raise Communist is
sue in the FLIP United Front, we
will find ourselves in conflict with the
|so-called progressives. Naturally,
these progressives want us to be only
|progressives and not Communists, but
certainly you would not argue that
we should be mere progressives and
not Communists The policy which you
suggest, however would lead exactly
to that result Therefore, as Com
munists, in place of becoming fright
ened because we find ourselves in con-
fiict with certain progressives, we
should welcome this conflict as the
best indication and proof that we are
following Communist policy.

POLICE ATTEND
BUFFALO M Jay
DAY Meeting
Report Speeches But Do
Not Interfere

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 6.-The Unit
ed Front May Day celebration was a
great success and included among the
audience a squad of police. There
was an inspector Of police, acting
captain of the precinct, two lieuten-
ants, half a dozen uniformed bulls,
four plain clothes dicks, and two po-
lice stenographers to take down the
speeches.
The bull battalion must have been
interested in the Teapot disclosures
and predictions of future world revo-
buttons, for, in spite of few jibes
directed at them by the speakers,
they remained and permitted the
meeting to proceed with no disturb
ance.
The assemblage was in the Temple
Theater and was held under the aus
pieces of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers. Besides John BALKAN, Bos-
ton organizer for the clothing work
ers, who spoke in English, there were
speakers in Italian, Jewish and Polish.
The program included several musical
numbers and a collection which

The Workers Party in Action
CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
4 WORKERS PARTY TAKES STAND FOR
STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF DISCIPLINE

The Central Executive Committee Of
the Workers Party has rendered the
following decision in the case of Ed
ward Hirschler and Sam Dragoonsty
charged with failure to carry out party
policies in their work:
Dear Comrades The Central Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the Workers
Party has considered the charges
made against you in the letter of the
D. E. G. on April 9Th and your reply
thereto on April Goth and I am in
structed to convey to you the follow
ing decision of the c. E. c.:
1. 1t is basic principle of a Com
munist Party that every member Of
the party must be guided in his work by
the decision Of the authorized party
committees. Whether party member
is in agreement with the policies
adopted by the party or not, he cannot
and must not allow his actions to be
influenced by this. When the party
adopts certain line Of policy on any
question, each and every member is
duty bound to strictly adhere to the
policy laid down and to work with all
his energy to carry out that policy.
1t is the right, Of course, of members
of the party to express their viewpoint
to the guiding party committee on any
question of party policy. Once the
policy is adopted, and as long as the
Iolicy is in effect, party members must
conscientiously work in support Of the
policy adopted.
1t apears from the statement OF the
D. E. c. and from the statement In
your own letter that you have not, In
the past, followed this underlying prin-
ciple Of our party. The documents III
the case, we believe, establish this
fact. This fact would, if there were
no extemating circumstances, warrant
immediate disciplinary action by the
C. e. c.

A letter to a group Of Finnish COM
rades. Authorized by the secretary
of the Workers Party.
Dear Comrades: Your statement in
regard to the policy which the Gee
has instructed the Minnesota COM
rades to follow in relation to the
Farmer-Labor Party, in which you
state your criticisms of the policy out
lined by the Gee has been considered
by the Gee and am instructed to
send you the following reply:
In the first two paragraphs Of your
letter you state the fact that our
Party has for some time now given
the greater part Of its strength to the
work OF building up the Farmer-Labor
Party in the United States and con-
trast 70 the policy which the Party
has followed the new policy which has
ben laid down for the Party within
the Farmer-Labor Party of Minnesota.
From your letter it appears that you
are under the impression that the
Party has been following one policy
up to the time of the Minnesota state
ment and has now suddenly adopted a
new policy. For, you say in your
letter "Then like thunderbolt we
received instructions that the Com
munists must put up their own candi-
dates"
We are compelled to assume, from
these statements, that you have not
clearly understood the Party policy in
relation to the FLIP and are under
some misapprehension as to our pur-
pose in supporting the Farmer-Labor
Party. From the viewpoint of the
Geo there has been no change of pol
icy at all. We have been supporting
organization Of Farmer-Labor Party
thru which masses of workers and
farmers could be arrayed in opposi-
ton to and would enter into strug-
gle against the capitalist parties and
the capitalist government. Our pur-
pose in supporting the building OF the
FLIP and arraying the workers and
farmers in a struggle against capital
list parties was and is thru the ex-
periences of their struggle to develop
their revolutionary consciousness and
develop class action against the cap
ltalist class and the capitalist system.
Now that in Minnesota a FLIP exists,
we are supporting that Party and en-
deavoring to develop revolutionary
consciousness and class action by the
workers and farmers.
The instructions of the Geo to the
Minnesota DEC were that our Party
must nominate it's candidates in the
FLIP primaries and that these candi-
dates must announce themselves as
Communists and must propagate their
Communist principles during the cam

THE PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE MISSION

ton is the capital of Teapot govern.
ment The Dohenys, Sinclairs, Falls
and McLeans are the real rulers in
Washington. More than that, Wash.
Iiugton has been the headquarters
from which operations were launched
to destroy the first republic in the
Orient, the Philippine Republic, and
the Republic of Santo Domingo. Here
the plot was Matched and the plans
were laid for the destruction Of more
republics than in any other capital in
the world today. For today Washing
ton is the real headquarters of inter-
national capitalist imperialist reao
ton.
Finally, we feel sure that Washing.
ton is not the place where the Fill
pinos Will find their genuine friends
congregated. We are with the mis-
sion one hundred per cent in it's de.
mand on the Coolidge-Wall Street
owned government for complete ma
tional freedom. But we fervently
hope that these ardent champions Of
national Filipino freedom will not fool
themselves into the untenable notion
that Washington will ever give any
oppressed nationality or class any
thing without a hard battle for it.
We workers and farmers have had
good deal to do with our capitalist
dictators, and we know their iron
hand even when it is hidden in the
silk gloves of sweet promises.
If the Filipino mission, II Quezon
and Osmena, want to find their real
friends, let them go to the working
and farming classes of this country,
who are oppressed and exploited by the
same coterie of financiers and indus
trial magnates as the Filipinos are.
Towards this end we are ready to do
everything in our power to unite the
working and farming masses of the
Philippines in one big fight against
their one big and powerful enemy

ruling class.

sented some of the ablest and mos
fearless Filipino leaders, like Quezor

We are not particularly anxious Il

cause which we indorse wholeheart

there are few little items to which
we desire to draw the attention OF the
new Freedom mission. AS friends Of
the brave Filipino people in general
and the poor tenant farmers and ex
plotted workers of the Islands in par
ticular, we feel we are fully justified
in advising. and that our remarks will
be welcomed by the newly-arrived
representatives of the Philippines.
First of all, if the mission has come
to Washington to seek freedom for
their nation, they are bound to be dis.
appointed. Today Washington is the
last place on earth where national OF
working class freedom of any sort can
be found. On the threshold of the
steps leading to the rear of the White
House is to be placed the blame for
the most outrageous crimes that have
been committed by the capitalist Mill
