do anything, except change the sex
OF man or woman. WE'LL our major
ity wants to prove that the English
parliament is a piker when it comes
to powers. A resolution was intro
duced by the majority, congratulating
the Chicago district for it's splendid
work in the field of the unemployed.
Here is the resolution:
THAT the central executive com
mittee takes note of the fact that the
Chicago organization has participated
in the organization of the unemployed
and has put an organizer in the coal
fields. And the central executive com
mittee commends these comrades for
that work"
What is wrong with this resolu-
ton? Oh nothing, except that the
district organizer of this same district
that was to be congratulated for its
splendid work, had sent into the ma
tional Office of the party letter just
the day previous in which he says
that he did do--nothing. He reports:
"In Chicago altho unemployment is
marked in some instances, as, for ex-
ample, the needle trades, it has not yet
assumed mass character. The Hobo
College of Chicago took the initiative
to form a so-called unemployment
council few days ago. Altho, of
course, little can be expected from it,
we are keeping in touch with it, by
member on their advisory committee
as matter of having a connection.
However we have not as yet taken
actual steps towards formation of the
councils due to the fact of the condi.
tions already mentioned" (Our EN-
phasis.)
For these steps mot as yet taken"
the majority of the central executive
committee insists on congratulating the
district. The steps mot as yet taken"
are touched by the magic rod of
central executive committee majority
and, presto, they change into steps
accomplished Even old Jehovah has
nothing on the central executive COM
mittee majority when it comes to
create universe-out of nothingness.
But the resolutions of the central
executive committee do not make
Communist party out of our organiza-
ton. The programs" and resolutions
of the central executive committee
majority do not help to revolutionize
the labor movement in America The
resolutions and programs" of the
central executive committee majority
can at best satisfy demand for
but are bound to result
in a backward development of our
party from political party of action
into propaganda sect.

fort to place it into the hands of old
oliticians bound by thousands of
threads with the capitalist class :"
The analysis further points out the
necessity the Workers Party felt of
entering into this movement to as
sist the masses of the petty-bour
geoisie in detaching themselves from
the capitalist class and of organic
ing the most advanced elements OF
the workers in the ranks of the Work
ers Party.
The Communist International then
proceeds: "The first task of the
Workers Party is to become a mass
Communist Party of workers. It car
fulfill this task ONLY by most actively
PARTICIPATING IN THE EsTAR-
LlSHMENT of a labor party which
will embrace ALL ELEMENTS OF
THE WORKING CLASS WILLING
TO CONDUCT A POLICY INDIE
PENDENT OF THE CAPITALIST
CLASS, and by establishing a bond
with the farmers who are at present
= a state of strong fermentation.
these two independent tasks-the
task of building around the Commu-
mist Party a broad CLASS labor party
and of establishing a bond between
the labor party and the poorest ele-
ments of farmers-have developed in
the United States, thanks to the pc
culiarities of historical evolution, as
one problem. namely, the building of
a common party of workers and ex-
plotted farmers. :" (Heavy type and

action has declared itself in favor of
organizing councils of the unemployed
in order to enable the party to mobil-
lie the masses for action in such a
campaign;
THEREFORE,: The central execu-
tive committee emphatically instructs
the Chicago district executive com.
mittee and city central executive to
take steps Immediately to have the
Communists, the Workers Party mem
bers, to put themselves at the head
Of this move towards organization of
the unemployed begun spontaneously
by the masses themselves;
THEREFORE: The central execu-
tive committee further instructs the
district executive committee of Chi
cago to take steps to organize unem-
ployment councils in Industries where
unemployment has already reached a
mass character as, for example, in the
bituminous coal mining industry.
THEREFORE,: That the central ex-
ecutive committee write a letter to
the Chicago district executive com
mittee pointing out to it that it is
the task of the Communists to hasten
and to take the lead in action by the
masses and not merely to fall in line
with the masses. That we emphasize
the need of the district executive
committee taking effective steps to
make the Workers Party the leader OF
this and any other unemployment
councils, which may be found in the
Chicago industrial area, particularly
because we are now in the position
of not having had the initiative in
his organization of the unemployed;
THEREFORE: That the central ex-
ecutive committee draw up a state
ment for the whole party pointing out
the need of the Communist, the Work
ers Party avoiding the situation
which occurred in Chicago where we
lost the initiative in launching an
unemployment council to a non-party,
non-Communist organization and
drawing the basic Communist lessons
therefrom as to leadership of the
masses.

BY ISRAEL AMTER.

1T might be called to the attention of
all members of the Workers Party
and especially of the majority of the
c. E. C. and their followers who are
loud in their claims that the Commu-
mist International supports their posi-
ton, that the executive committee of
the Communist International recently
expressed itself on the question of
the farmer-labor party.
A delegation expressing the three
viewpoints on the LaFolIette issue
was in Moscow in the month Of May.
The executive committee of the Com
munist International, after hearing the
three comrades, and entering into a
close analytical discussion of the sit
uation, decided as follows:
1. THE United States of America
IS at present going thru a great social
and political crisis which. is bound to
become more and more aggravated
The agrarian crisis causing the bank
ruptcy of millions of farmers and, e.
the same time, causing many other
to completely get into the clutches
Of the banks; the oil scandal which
has accelerated the process Of disin-
tegration of both capitalist parties,
all this is setting in motion tremen-
dous masses of workers as we'll as of
the urban and rural petty-bourgeois
population. The efforts of these mass
es to establish third party represent
their endeavor to emancipate them
selves from the domination by the
trusts and their political machines.
But the capitalist class will undoubt-
eddy endeavor to retard the movement
by establishing the leadership Of pet
ty-bourgeois politicians over the third
party movement; it will make an eff

develop the Workers Party into a
mass Communist Party. Again,
ask, did the presidium think this
could be fulfilled during the course
Of the six months between May and
Nov. 4? The supposition is ridicu-
lous.
The decision says further that we
must not alone participate in the la
Dor movement, but must "actively par
ticipate in the establishment of la
Dor party" The Communist Interna-
tional is made up of parties that are
supposed to represent the vanguard
of the working class. Communists
are supposed to be leaders, not trail
ers of the working class movement
They are supposed to study the de-
velopment of the struggle, noting its
tendencies, analyze conditions and
thereupon base their policies. The
presidium of the Communist Interna-
tional is made up of men of this char
acter. With the assistance of the
American comrades, they laid down
a policy and tactics and declared not
that. we must wait for a movement for
a farmer-labor party to arise in the
United which the majority
says may arise in the future-and then
participate in it. No, the presidium
states quite clearly that conditions are
bound to lead to the masses of the
workers as well as Of the petty-bour-
geoisie making endeavors to "eman-
cipate themselves from the domino
ton of the trusts and their political
machines" AS Communists we are
Interested in separating the worker
nd poor farmers from the petty-bour-
aoisie and getting them under revo.
utionary leadership. The presidium
therefore,, declared that we must &C
'vely participate in establishing
larty of the workers and poor farm
ars-recognizing that thus we would
BE able to contend for the leadership
Of this party. BY this activity and
possible leadership, we will increase
our prestige among the masses, infiu-
ence them toward the Communist po-
stion and thus draw them into the
Workers Party.
The Communist International does
not believe that mere participation in
q movement of this kind will make
the Workers Party mass Communist
Party. If, as the presidium declares,
the masses must needs make efforts to
separate themselves from the domi-
nation of the capitalist parties, and
the popularity of this movement in
the United States is that it takes the
form of labor party establishing a
bond with the poor farmers-in a word
farmer-labor party-then it is the
tuty of the Communists, as Marxians.
10 lead this movement, thus develop
ing their party into mass Commun.
list Party.
II would appear that the majority
agreed with analyses and policies in
Moscow, but rejectr particularly their
application in America. There are
many instances Of such acceptances in
the Communist International. The

That Russia can produce anything

other but the Workers Party can be
CLASS party! Comrades Foster,
Dunno, Cannon, Browder and BitteI-
man! You know very we'll what the
meaning of this term is. You know
very well that the presidium Of the
G. /. recognizes that such a labor
party is in no way to REPLACE the
Workers Party; that nonetheless it
is a class labor party. 1t is made up
of elements willing to fight against
the domination of the capitalist par
ties, but are not clear-cut revolution
lists conscious of their position. Were
they such, they would be in the Work
ers Party. The presidium conceives
of this party as party of workers
willing to cooperate with the Com
munists in the struggle, party from
which the Communists will recruit the
best elements into the Workers Party
for the purpose of converting the
Workers Party into a mass Commu-
mist Party.
It is highest time, therefore, that
this stupid, childish talk about the i'm
possibility of "class" party out
side the Workers Party be stopped
unless the comrades of the majority.
who no doubt, are better Marxists and &
Leninists than the leaders of the
Communist International, prefer to
take UP the issue with these leaders,
It is time to stop befuddling the minds
of our membership and get down to
an earnest discussion of REAL poll
cies.
This, however, the majority dare
not do. For the majority Of the c. E.
C. will have to answer the following
two charges:

TION OF THE WORKERS PARTY

continuance of the use of the slogan in

Comrade Olgin, who, because of the
antagonism manifested toward Com
rade Lore on account of his non-Com-
munist position on various questions,
quickly ASSOCIATED in Moscow himself
from Lore. Olgin, however, repre-
sented the viewpoint of what had
been termed the Lore group. He de-
clares that he wrote the anti-LaFol-
lette Observation-Disclosures it was ap-
proved by the group that has been
termed the Lore group in the party
a charge that Comrade Olgin did not
and does not deny. What did Comrade
Radek, who was the reporter of the
American commission to the presidi-
UNI of the Comintern state? aside
from the group which sees no politi-
cal crisis in America and does not
recognize the Importance of the ag-
rarian question, the differences be-
tween the other two groups represent
ed by Comrades Foster and Pepper
are ETC., etc" Radek made
this statement because of the analy-
sis made by Comrade Olgin, who tried
to demonstrate that, as is natural in
capitalist society, there are recurring
crises, and that the period of 1920
to 1924 was a crisis of similar nature.
An unitarian analysis, not taking in
to account the crisis that led to the
world war, the Russian revolution, the
chaos in Europe, the Dawes plan. the
revolt of the colonies, the agrarian
crises, etc, etc As a consequence.
the point of view of the anti-LaFol-
lette group of Olgin-Lore was given
20 support for the reasons that they
ave-the Communist international
dopting a Communist position on the
latter. So much for the then Lore
)lgin group
The Communist International state.
n so many words that the Workers
Party can become a mass Communis
arty "ONLY by most actively par.
.icipating in the establishment of a
labor party" The majority of the G
z. z. contends that the Comintern
made this decision on the basis of
he situation that existed in the Unit
ed States up to the month of Nav.
Does the majority pretend that the
presidium of the Comintern beueved
that we should be able to develop the
Workers Party into a MASS Commu-
mist Party during the few months of
the election campaign? Does the ma
1ority of the G. f. C. believe that thu
leading Bolsheviks in the presidium of
the Comintern have not a better I'M
derstanding of Marxian-Lenii istic me
tnods as to suppose that this could be
anything but PROCESS OF YEARS?

ONLY by performing this task can

Communist Party In other words. the
