A Matter of Distance,

From the Utica Observer Dispatch
The first day of Winter in this
northern latitude brought a temporal
ture of more than 40 degrees; while
the first day of Summer down in the
Argentine gave them 10 degrees in
the shade.
Spring in the Southern Hemisphere
has been unusually warm, and that is
said to be one of the reasons for the
short wheat crop in Argentina
But this fact and the continuance
OF warm weather in this latitude
ought to convince many nervous and
easily disturbed persons that the sun

Chicaso's New Year Eve.

Unusual preparations are being
made in Chicago TO celebrate the com
ing of the new wear. According to dis
patch from the Windy City, all Jails
are being thoroughly renovated, judges
will hold night court, justices are
ready TO sign bonds at all hours. and
prohibition agents are busting off
their evening clothes To visit AT the
various clubs and hotels.

Sessions of Enlarged Executive of the c. l.

THE proposed resolution has placed
great responsibility on the Russian
delegation. The, German, French and
Polish delegations thought the con-
cession too big. However. the Russian
delegation desires a sincere bloc with
the minority against the right. Bub-
mix is not dangerous, but what is
dangerous is the Bubnik tendency.
We must fight the Bubnik tendency
and the attitude of the Bruenn lead
ers. The commission clearly approves
of the political platform of the major
ity. The political policy Of the Czech
Communist Party is correct. The plat
form Of the minority contains not a
single word on the dictatorship of the
proletariat; it bears Wilsonian char
acter, and does not combine the par
tial demands with the final goal. The
Russian delegation and the commits
sion give their confidence to the mi
nority ION credit" This confidence
binds the minority. The speaker ex-
presses his hope that the minority
may merit LhlS commence.
NOMRADE MUNA declares in the
~ name of the minority and of Krei-
bich, that they accept the resolution
in the interests Of unity and in conf
dence to the Comintern. Not only
does the minority accept the resolu-
ton, but it will carry it out, in order
to combat the right dangers Of which
the minority is fully aware The re-
solution is passed unanimously.
The unanimously adopted resolution
on the Czech question, analyses in de-
tail the causes of the crisis in the
Czech Communist Party, which crisis
is not an isolated episode, but the
struggle of the right elements of the
Comintern against feminist strategy
and tactics
Due to a series Of specific causes,
arising out of the composition of the
party and the reflection of nationality
conflicts in the party, these right tend
encies are especially strong in Czecho-
Slovakia. The plenum considers Bub-
nik's action as political treachery, and
fully approves the decision of the
control commission of the Czech Com
munist Party to expel Bubnik from
the party.
The crisis began when some com.
rades in the control commission fail
ed to proceed against Bubnik with

The Daily Worker in Jail

The DAILY WORKER has more trouble trying
to break into prison than Communists have in
getting out.
The Communist daily was welcome visitor at
the Moundsville, West Va, penitentiary, where
several miners incarcerated owing to their
participation in a struggle with the employers
eve haven't seen any DAILY WORKERS since
last October" writes one of those workers The
Jugo-Slav Communist paper Radnik was also read
eagerly by those comrades, but that too has been
prohibited.
The prison warden allowed the prisoners to re
ceive the Communist dailies until his masters put
their foot down. -Phis is about as good a testi-
moniaI as could be given to our paper. The bosses
hate it and fear It, 1t is up to the workers who are
not yet in jail to give the DAILY WORKER a
circulation so large that it will break down the
prison walls.

the required energy. The resolution
establishes the fact that the control
commission Of the Czech Communist
Party have become instruments of
fractional struggles. En
Only in mass actions can the party
test its leadership and select its best
revolutionary elements. The party
cannot ignore the new proletarian
elements which bring current of
fresh militancy into the party.
THE resolution sharply criticises the
4 political document of the leaders
Of the Bruenn organization; this docu-
ment represents political platform
which is contrary to all decisions Of
the Fifth World Congress and the
third congress of the Czech Commun-
list Party. This document contains a
purely menshevik, social democratic
conception of the revolution, and
fatalistic conception of the role of the
party in the revolution. The tactics
proposed by the Bruenn organization
or mass action, are both opportunis-
tic and dangerous.
The resolution condemns the atti-
tude taken up by Kreibich in the
commission and in the plenum, and
answers his threat of a split with a
warning.
The resolution then proceeds as
follows: ION the basis of the above
facts, on the basis of the decisions of
the Fifth congress in regard to poll
tical perspectives, tactics and nation
al policy, and affirming the political
and tactical policy of the central COM
mittee of the Czech Communist Party,
the enlarged plenum of the executive
committee hereby instructs the ex-
ecutive of the Czech Communist Party
to convene within four months a regu-
lar party congress which is to liqui-
date all the elements of crisis in the
party"
THE central committee Of the
Czech Communist Party must
make the fight against the right tend
encies as expressed in the Bruenn
memorandum, the central point of it's
preparatory campaign for the coming
party congress. The party must also
fight all those who directly or indi-
rectIy, politically or organizationally
support such tendencies. The execu-
tive of the Comintern is of the opin-
ion that the main defect of the Czech

Communist Party is the fact that the
most important tactical problems of
the Czecho-Slovakian and information
al labor movement are passed over in
silence.
The executive therefore, recon-
mends to the central committeesof the
Czech Communist Party to start in
the party thoro discussion Of the
most important problems in which the
Czecho-Slovakian working class is in

dennis the Bruenn platform and the
disorganizing action of the Bruenn
district committee, and recommends
that with the next three or four
months party conference be conven-
ed in Bruenn, for the purpose of ELI
minating from the party leadership
those who support the Bruenn plat
