Statement of the Central
Executive Committee

The exploitation of existing anti
fractional tendencies within our Party
by the authors of the two statements
in the fractional manner apparent in
their documents is only another indi-
cation of their aims.
q A further indication of the dan
gerous attitude of the authors of these
statements toward the Party is con-
tanned in their not having submitted
either of these statements to the Cen
trail Executive Committee before pub
fishing same.
THE Central Executive Committee
4 of the Workers Party calls the at
tention of the comrades of the Finn
ish Branch of Superior to the dam
gerous direction their statements in
dictate. If they persist on continuing
on this road they will find themselves
in the camp of Loreism. Such a
course will inevitably lead them far
Their away from the Party and thes
Comintern. The Central Executive
Committee has sufficient confidence in !.

Party and to the Comintern to hope
that they will speedily abandon this
road and return to the path of COM
mon Communist action with and with
in our Party. These Comrades must
open their eyes to the fact that their
activities and criticism play into the
hands of the enemies of our Party
and strengthen their efforts to get
into control of the Finnish workers,
particularly the Finnish Socialists and
anarcho-syndicalists who welcome ev-
cry schism in the ranks of the Party
and the Comintern.
TNHE Central Executive Committee
4 calls upon all the members of our
Party and especially upon the mem
bers of the Finnish Section to close
their ranks against any attempt to
lead them into the swamps of oppor-
tunism and Loreism. The inner unity
of our Party and the international
unity of all the Communist parties UNI
der the banner of the Communist In
ternational are the most valuable
achievements of the revolutionary ex-
perience of the proletariat of the
world today. To guard this achieve
ment and to defeat every attempt of
disruption is the aim to which we
must devote the energies of our Party
and to which especially is devoted the
great process of Bolshevization which
can be achieved only by united action.

THE Finnish Branch of our Party
4 in Superior, Wis, has issued, and
caused the publication of two state
ments in some of our Finnish papers
which indicate very dangerous ten
dency These statements are all the
more serious since they come from
branch to which a number of leading
Finnish Comrades belong. Both state
ments while ostensibly opposing fac
tionalism within our Party at the
same time appear to support an at
tempt to create a new faction. The
statements deal with the convention
assessment, raising an issue as to the
amount as wen as to method of col
election; they further question the wisA
Aom of the decision of the CommunI
fist International in dealing with the
fractional situation in our Party in thati
lit proposed that either group having
"a majority, the. minority shall be en-
titled to one-third; they demand
new discussion without raising any
political issue to discuss; and finally
they seem to be designed to mobilizeA
the membership against the present
Central Executive Committee and by
protesting against the arrangements
made for the coming convention at
the same time casting shadow. of
suspicion upon the future Central Elk.
ecutive Committee of the Party.
OUR Party faces difficult situation
~ at the present moment. Political
differences that have existed up to the
decision of the Comintern have caused
the division of the ranks of the Party
into factions. At the same time there
is present within the Party danger
GUS right-wing opportunist tendency
which has crystallized gradually with
increasing danger to the Communist
integrity of our Party. This tendency
represented by Loreism can only be
combatted successfully with the unit
ed efforts of our Party. In the strug-
gle against this tendency the process
of Bolshevizing our Party will be the
most effective means. This process of
Bolshevization demands a complete
reorganization of the Party which in
turn cannot be carried out without the
united efforts of all of our members.
1t is clear therefore that any tendency
Of new division within our Party is
necessarily weakening the Party, in
tensifying the inner struggles, making
impossible a concentrated struggle
against Loreism and complete mob
ilization of all the forces of the Party
for Bolshevization and the consequent
reorganization.
Considering the two statements of
the Superior Finnish Branch in the
light Of these circumstances and on
the basis of their contents and tone,

ty has done in this country among
the Finnish workers in educating them
along the theology of Communism and
will throw the Finnish workers as a
prey back to the social-democratic and
anarcho-syidicalist theological in1u-

minority of the Central Executive
Committee of the Workers Party of
America was right. in their confidence
in the vitality and future of the labor
party movement. The Executive Com
mittee of the Communist international
recommended unanimously to the
Workers Party not to abandon the
struggle for establishing labor party,
but on the contrary, in the most ener-
getic way to advance the labor party
movement. By the same, however
the Comintern corrected the previous
slogan in the sense that now the ques-
ton is not any more of a farmer
labor" party, but only of a labor party
AS far as the majority of the Central
Executive Committee of the Workers
Party earlier had emphasized that the
labor party-when organized-must
have a broad base in the organized
masses OF the trade unions, this claim
as such was correct, but that step of
the majority of the Central Executive
Committee was wrong, thru which it
later abandoned the labor party slo-
gan, and more than that-started a
systematic opposition to it.
A CCORDING to our opinion it is
A now especially important-and
just because of that we write this let
ter-that now-as far as the Finnish
members of the party are concerned
will be guaranteed, that this labor
party policy gets undivided support
and that the unwavering realization of
this policy will be warranted in the
future by the party leadership. Your
party must have such leadership,
which is guarantee for the energetic
carrying out of that work, which is
specially mentioned by the resolution
in this connection and which is very
important for the future of all the
revolutionary labor movements in
America.

of the Central Executive Committee of

Letter from the Finnish Communist
Party to the Finnish Section of
the Workers Party

COMRADES of the Finnish Fedora
y ton of the Workers Party of
America.
At the session Of the Enlarged Exc
cutive Committee of the Communist
International were discussed among
other questions the differences, which
have manifested themselves in our
American brother party about the next
tasks of the party, especially in the
question of the labor party, The reso-
luton which was with satisfaction ac-
cepted by the representatives as well
as of the majority as of the minority
of the Central Executive Committee is
of a very important significance both
for the development of the Workers
Party into a Bolshevist mass party and
for the awakening of the proletarian
masses in America to independent po-
litical class struggle. Even if it is
quite natural, that every member of
the Workers Party now before the
party convention thoroly studies this
decision, the representatives of both
groups of our American brother party
in this connection proposed that also
the Central Committee of the Finnish
| Communist Party, whose Polbureau-
members were present in the session
of the Enlarged Executive Committee
and in the commission, when the ques-
tion was discussed and decided,
should write a letter to the Finnish
Federation of the Workers Party, so
that-as far as the Finnish members
are commemorative line of policy put
down in the resolution would be ener-
getically and intellectually carried
out.
COMRADES! The session of the En-
y larged Executive Committee of the
Communist International said-as you
may see from the resolution-tha the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-08-01

of Communism by him is wrong and
opportunistic The last fact and not
the first should be the measure for a
true Communist when estimating
Lore. Consequently stand against
Lore must be taken without evasions,
not giving him even the slightest par
tial support. One must decisively
part with Loreism. In the Finnish
Federation Lore is certainly rather un-
known and thus the greater is the
reason to expect, that he will not re-
ceive even the shadow of support from
! the Finnish comrades.
Comrades! Worthy of your special
attention in the resolutions are the
points about the Capitalization and
the basic organizations of the party
and of the work in the trade unions.
We hope that the comrades of the
Finnish Federation with energy will
go to assist in the work carrying out
these decisions. We believe that you
yourselves, comrades, thru this will
come in the closest contact with the
American comrades and proletarians.
You will be Americanized in the revo-
lutionary Bolshevist sense of this
word, you will develop from being
members of that separate Finnish
by-movement" of the Workers Party
to real members of the American Com
munist movement and of the Workers
Party. And you understand of which
great use your ability and your ex-
perience will be for the American
Communist movement
We on our side, we assure you. are
working with all energy to strengthen
the Communist Party in Finland, to
prepare and lead the revolutionary
movement in Finland. Comrades,
there is no reason for even the slight
est doubt, that the revolutionary pro-
letarian movement in Finland marches
forward with sure and strong steps.

nunist Party of Finland.

pressed in those two statements even
in stronger terms than the C. e. C.
OF our party does and states that such
views and tendencies will not have
any support of the bureau or the great
majority of our membership now or
in the future.
The bureau of the Finnish section
OF the party calls upon the Finnish
comrades in every branch to close
their ranks and condemn the tendency
expressed in those two statements and

the Central Executive Committee does
not hesitate to declare that these
statements present the theological
preparation for split in our Party.
The Central Executive Committee is
moved to make the declaration be-
cause of the following facts:
/. One of the two statements de-
clares that the Finnish Socialist"
branch of Superior takes this and this
stand 1t is symptomatic for the ideo-
logy of these Comrades. They find it
perfectly in order to call themselves
a Socialist" branch altho the Finnish
Section after it's last national conven-
ton discarded the name of Finnish
Socialist Federation. The Central Elk
ecutive Committee sees in this a ten
dency for splitting operations within
our Party. The Central Executive
Committee must condemn this clear
manifestation of non-Communist ten
denotes.
2. Both of the statements make an
attempt to discredit the coming Party
convention, the future Central Execu-
tive Committee and the Communist
international by trying to discredit
the methods prescribed by the Com
Ihunist International for the organ
ikation of the future Central Execu-
five Committee and the method de-
Fcided upon by the Central Executive
Committee in organizing the coming
convention. This is another indica-
ton of an effort to crystalline a senti-
ment within the Party against the
Party, the Central Executive Commit
tee and the Communist International.
3. The authors of these statements
have also found it quite possible to
resort to quite common demagogical
argument in raising a financial issue.
The Central Executive Committee has
followed the regular procedure of our
Party in issuing the call for a con-
vention assessment. This assessment
was found perfectly natural by the
whole Party. 1t is obvious that the
convention could not be financed with

subdivisions has found it necessary
to complain of the amount nor pro-
test against the method of collection.
But the authors of the statements of
the Finnish Branch Of Superior seized
upon this assessment as a good issue
to start news fight in the Party.
4. Even the Party constitution must
supply the authors of these statements
with another artificial ISSUE In their
statements they protest against the
Central Executive Committees call
for convention which does not per-
init, as they state, the constitutional
90 days of discussion. The insincer-
ity of this statement becomes clear
